Collectors Catalog question

[aftamath]

If u wear multiple catalogs on each character does it increase the drop rates even more?

another ? is does it matter if that person gets the kill to get it to kick in effect ? any kinda info would be appreciated

[Elcura]

I don't think they stack, and if the person wearing it dies then, like all accessories (growth egg, etc) the effect is nullified.

[aftamath]

well i was thinking since u get 3 of them throughout the game if they did stack i do know u can upgrade them which i already have.

ive also noticed that ur score on the fight makes the drop rates better too

im farming adamantoise right now for gil for my 4th ultimate weapon and whenever i score over 160000 on the fight i seem to get the ignot drop

if i score over 180000 i usually get the catalyst any idea if the score has effect too?

[Kiarax]

Almost everywhere just says the rank you get effects drop rate by a set amount. Rank is dependent on score so technically it does, but it shouldn't effect it anymore once you break 5 stars.

From other thread I posted in.

Multiples of them dont, tested already.

Just equip 1Good Choice for normal drop and 1 Best Choice for rare drop. Thats it.

Good Choice/Best Choice are the JP names of the Catalogs that increase normal/rare drops. Collector's Catalog and the other I don't know how to spell, but hopefully you know which one I'm talking about.

[aftamath]

well i do get 5 starts every fight easily but when my score is higher i always get a drop

if i get 15000-16000 i dont get anything if i score 16001-17999 i usually get ingot but if i end up 18000+ i get catalyst they say its a 1% drop but ive got 3 within 24 hours

one more thing do enegy sash stack for tp regain?

[Elcura]

probably not.

Hmmm should check what points I get after turtles with death trick (if I kill them normally I get like 3 stars lol, with death trick always 5 stars). So far I'm 0/39 on turtles for a trapezo, both catalogs equipped and the rare item catalog one on Vanille. So far this just looks like 1 big Salvage to me. Seriously getting tired of it, been on these turtles the past 5 days (for 1-3 hours a day) just getting 1 to fucking drop so I can get on with the other stuff.

[aftamath]

pm me appie i got ways u can annialate turtles and let me know ur role levels for ur main 3 cause that has an effect to

[Tobi]

Killing turtles is easy, lol. There's plenty of ways to kill them off fast in 2min or less. I must have some awesome luck, though, went 1/2 on Trap w/o a Catalog equipped.

[aftamath]

im averaging 1 minute 30 with syn syn syn combat clinic bahamat and staggering with relentless switching to agression when staggered using fang lighting and hope

but i also have taming rod > kains lance 100
hawkeye > nue 100
and axis blade > omega weapon 100

[Tobi]

Can solo it with Fang and just her summon in 1min - 1min 15 sec, can do around 2min~ ish with full party no summon or death. It's just early on you're very limited to ways you can kill it till you grind some CP/upgrade weapons/accessories.

Though the answer is here above? XD

[aftamath]

how do u solo it cause im role level 5 on all classes already my gesault does about 950k and its still about 50% have to restagger then agression and its over

[Tobi]

Buff yourself at the start quick, Summon Bahamut, Buff Bahamut up, Paradigm switch to Sab and use the correct debuffs, Paradigm switch to RAV till break, Paradigm switch to COM and it'll be dead in seconds, just make sure to end with 999,999 damage Highwind.

[nekoshoonen]

i'm confused about a couple of things. Do the different catalogues stack? Or you just have to choose 1 and go with it. Also what does upgrading do to them? Up the drop rate? And finally what item do i need after they turn to star?

[Tobi]

No, they don't stack... You can use all 3 Catalogs though and gain the full benefit of each one because they all have different effects.

Collector's - Increase Normal drop rate
Consuisser Catalog(idk how to spell this) - Increase Rare drop rate
Survivalist's Catalog - Increases Shrouds Drop rate
