Rare Forging Materials

Each Event Equipment Set has one forging material that is more scarce and difficult to get your hands on than the others. Hense, rare.

Not every piece of gear needs a rare material to forge it, but many do. The pieces with the highest boosts usually do.

There are a few different ways to obtain rare materials.
• Buy Them
• Monster Hunting
• Guild Gifts
• Material Boxes
• Labyrinth
• Hell Events and 24hr Challenge Events


Buy Them
If you purchase a pack specifically for an Event Equipment set, there is a guaranteed amount of the rare material that will just go straight into your inventory. The quantities vary by set and pack cost, so check the mall for details.


Monster Hunting
To get rare materials this way, you don't need to do anything special. But you do need a lot of luck.

While hunting, there is a 20% chance of getting any kind of forging material for monster levels 1 to 4. It is a 25% chance on level 5s. Now that's for any kind of material from that monster's set, so a rare drop is much less.

My drop rate estimates below are the percentage for the rare material out of a material box adjusted as if the 100% of the box was only 20%. I've done some testing and it seems to hold true, but in all honesty this is just a hypothesis.


Guild Gifts
This is by far the least likely way you'll obtain rares, but it's possible.

Equiptment material drops come from monster hunting gifts. These are the drop rates for any material for the set.
• Common: 10.18%
• Uncommon: 12.35%
• Rare: 15.14%
• Epic: No monster material drops
• Legendary: 12.76%

I'd estimate the chance of getting a rare material ranges from ~0.31% to ~1.51%. So, technically possibly. But don't hold your breath.


Material Boxes
This is your best chance at getting a rare material drop. Material boxes are stupidly easy to obtain if you're P2P as nearly all of the mall packs come with them. Not so much as a totally F2P player, but you'll still get them.

Get set specific material boxes from purchasing mall packs, completing Solo, Hell, and 24hr Challenge Events, or from special event prizes such as Guild Fest options or Guild Bash summon/slayer gifts.

In addition to set specific material boxes, there is also a special material box called the Monsterous Box. This box contains only rare materials. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain every rare, but it has enough of them that this is my favorite box to open.


The Labyrinth

Which monsters give each rare and the drop rates are listed below.


Hell Events and 24hr Challenge Events
To get these rares, you just need to complete the stage. That's it. No additional hoops to jump through. Obviously it's not easy to complete all three stages of one of these events, but this is the only guaranteed way to get a rare material that's free.

Not all of the rares are offered as rewards and rares are not always even offered as a rewards. So if this is going to be a primary source of rares for you, get in the habit of checking these rewards often.
