Endgame upgrade materials outside their home content
guide ยท Server guide
Where: any notorious monster, big bosses, Besieged, orb battlefields, Treasure Chests and Treasure Coffers.
How: kill or open, then lot. Everything below goes into the treasure pool of whoever lands the kill (or opens the chest), beside the usual spoils. Each item on the list is rolled on its own, so one kill can give several.
The list covers the materials the upgrade NPCs take: Switchstix, Sagheera, Hadahda, Oboro, Temprix, Monisette, Oseem, Ruspix, Gama-Shama, Coelestrox, Aurix, Divainy-Gamainy, Lola, Benjamien, Gorpa-Masorpa and Unity. Parts that already drop from their own NMs (Abyssea NM parts, Unity Wanted materials, relic -1 armour, Magian seals and cards) still come only from those NMs.
Which kills count
- Notorious monsters at most 10 levels below your main job's level. Weaker NMs give nothing from this list.
- Big bosses count at any level and roll at a higher rate (see Boss multipliers).
- Besieged: every beastman killed in a Besieged battle, notorious or not.
- BCNM and KSNM wins: one roll per win for the whole party, not one per player.
- Treasure Chests and Treasure Coffers: one roll each time one opens for you.
What drops, and how often
The base chance is for one notorious monster kill. The other columns are the same item at each multiplier. Nothing goes past 100%.

Items with their own rate
These are set so that hunting NMs for them takes about twice as long as the content they come from.
Item | Normal NM | x10 | x25 | x3 | x5 | Besieged beastman |
Paragon card (a random job's) | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 10% |
Omen boss scale (Kin's, Gin's, Kei's, Kyou's or Fu's) | 22% | 100% | 100% | 66% | 100% | 2.2% |
Beastmen's Medal | 5% | 50% | 100% | 15% | 25% | 0.5% |
Kindred's Medal | 5% | 50% | 100% | 15% | 25% | 0.5% |
Ra'Kaznar Starstone | 2.06% | 20.6% | 51.5% | 6.18% | 10.3% | 0.2% |
Abdhaljs Nugget | 17.5% | 100% | 100% | 52.5% | 87.5% | 1.75% |
Every qualifying NM kill gives a Paragon card. The job is random; Coelestrox in Omen trades five of any job for one of yours. An Abdhaljs Nugget sells back to Gorpa-Masorpa for 1,500 hallmarks, which buy Plutons, Rem's Tales, cape materials and Ambuscade +2 gear.
Boss multipliers
These bosses roll the whole list at a higher rate, whatever your level.
Boss | Multiplier |
Kirin and the sky gods: Genbu, Seiryu, Byakko, Suzaku | x10 |
Sea: Jailer of Hope, Justice, Prudence, Love, Faith and Fortitude; Ix'aern (DRK), Ix'aern (DRG), Ix'aern (MNK); Absolute Virtue | x10 |
Dynamis area bosses: Overlord's Tombstone, Gu'Dha Effigy, Tzee Xicu Idol, Goblin Golem, Angra Mainyu, Apocalyptic Beast, Antaeus, Cirrate Christelle, and the Diabolos Club, Diamond, Heart and Spade | x10 |
Dynamis - Divergence: the wave 1, 2 and 3 bosses in San d'Oria, Bastok, Windurst and Jeuno [D] | x10 |
Dynamis Lord | x25 |
Besieged
Every beastman you kill during a Besieged battle in Al Zahbi rolls the list at a tenth of an NM's rate (a battle of about 60 beastmen is worth about six NM kills). The force's leader (Gulool Ja Ja, Gurfurlur the Menacing or Medusa) rolls at x10. Rare and Jackpot items don't come from ordinary beastmen; the leader can give them.
BCNM and KSNM wins
A battlefield you enter with an orb rolls the list once when you win, into the winning party's treasure pool, beside the fight's own spoils.
- KSNM orbs (Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos, Themis): x10.
- Every other orb (Star, Comet, Moon, Sky, Cloudy, Phobos, Deimos, Zelos, Bia, Mars, Venus, Microcosmic, Macrocosmic, Zinnia and the rest): x3.
Fights entered with a phantom gem, a key item or an invitation don't roll.
Treasure Chests and Coffers
Each Treasure Chest or Treasure Coffer you open rolls the list once, into your treasure pool (straight into your bags if you have no party). Chests roll at x3, Coffers at x5. A failed pick, a trap, a mimic or an illusion gives nothing.
Key NMs: extra rewards
These hard NMs also give what the list above can't. The extras come on top of their own drops and the list.
- Items go to the killer's treasure pool.
- Escha beads and gallimaufry go to every member of the killer's party standing in the zone, up to their cap.
- "A void of your job" is a Divergence void for the killer's main job, random slot.
