The best are Fire Strike, Ice Strike and Thunder Strike.ģ) Killing with Musou seem to yield drops Here is what I have observed:ġ) Fighting enemies in the 'red zone' on the map seems to yield higher drops, however I have drops when I am not in the enemy area.Ģ) Killing enemeies with strategem seems to the one of the ways to get drops.

I have been actively trying out the ways to get weapon drops. I remember seeing that message and for some reason I thought it said stratagems and not musou attack so I just shrugged it off. You have to dig your weapon stache a bit deeper thanks to all of the low level 1 star weapons you get, but the found weapons should be there. Also, i think it only works when you have finished an empire mode and saved the progression to get the weapons you found. It's costly at 4000 bonus points but well worth it. It also gives you the basic 3 weapons of all weapon classes so you can try them out. The bonus point system with 'unlock weapons' allows you to keep the weapons you found and bought in the previous empire run, effectively allowing you to carry them all over. ( this was actually pointed out in a tutorial message but it was just given to you like it was nothing important so it was easy to miss ) Highest chance to get a weapon drop from a famous officer in my experience. Originally posted by Wings:Important note on weapon drops: Finish off an officer with a musou attack and you have a MUCH higher chance to get a weapon drop from them. I'll definitely level up the blacksmith asap, thanks for sharing what you've noticed Just another note, I did notice that alot of the quests give weapons out and seemingly at random. Originally posted by Aulus:Haven't played much, but here's what I can tell based on what I've seen:ĮDIT: From the tutorial section: 'moving to an area controlled by a force that has many facilities will allow you to make use of them' yes, so far I played we can only buy weapon from blacksmith, but we can no more customize wepons abilities, right? so sad :(

NOTE: I was playing as my own ruler from the start, so I have no idea know how to build more blacksmiths or if the weapon unlocks apply if you are a subordinate or vagabond.ĮDIT: From the tutorial section: 'moving to an area controlled by a force that has many facilities will allow you to make use of them' Example: I was a spear user and the blacksmith sold spears, I recruited Liu Bei and suddenly I can buy double swords from the blacksmith as well. Only the first 6 blacksmiths you build will actually unlock anything, any more after that is useless.Ħ) The blacksmith will only offer weapons for you character to start, but will also begin to offer weapons that one of your subordinates uses as well. Each blacksmith you build will unlock another tier of weapons, all the way up to tier 6. I got maybe 5 in as many hoursĢ) Weapons that are dropped will be the special ones with the random seals (all of them as far as I can tell)ģ) MOST weapons will be bought from the blacksmithĤ) The blacksmith offers only level 1 weapons to start with, and only for your characters EX weaponĥ) The only way to improve the weapons available at the blacksmith is to build more blacksmiths within a kingdom.

Haven't played much, but here's what I can tell based on what I've seen:ġ) Weapon drops are super rare.
