Somthing about Fuma Gear

[Iron Blue Arremer]

This is all anecdotal evidence, I'm afraid. As said, I remember getting Greaves from Decapiclops (the helmet guy). I never saw them drop from the normal purple chests, though, to be fair, so it might be only the miniboss chests (which begs the question as to why Konami didn't bother to just recolor it or use the 8-bit chest they have in the sprite data to differentiate them...).

However, it might be likely that the droprate for those miniboss chests is higher respectively? That the Fuma gear can drop from all minibosses, but that, e.g. Decapiclops simply has a higher chance for having the helmet drop.

By the way, chest drops are calculated during the loading time.

A higher drop rate associated with each boss is certainly within the realm of possibility. It's also possible that there's no bias at all and these are just rare drops from those chests with a number of people coincidentally getting them from the same specific chests. I'm just happy that I no longer have to keep failfarming these pieces.

Now back to solo-grinding those whippers...

what is a soft reset?
