I’ve been spending a lot of time hunting Sabakuma in recent months – mostly Old-Dom with a few Alpha and Old Alpha mixed in. I’ve noticed that there are some things that only drop from higher maturity (Alpha+) Sabakumas. Specifically, Surface Hardener Components, Eye Oil, Socket II Components, and specific extractors.
Has anyone noticed this with other mobs? Are there actual items, rather than just stackables that will only drop from high maturity versions of mobs? Is the cutoff always at Alpha (or whatever the equivalent is on mobs with different maturity scales)? Are there only two "tiers" of each mob, or do some have 3 or more? Should the different "tiers" be treated as entirely different creatures with different drop potentials?
I haven’t noticed the higher Alpha+ tier dropping less of anything that the lower tier drops – they just seem to have more of a variety of stackables to choose from. Has anything like this been discussed before?
