Where on earth do I get the chunins kusarigama smithing text? It's not even listed

Submit

This page is in dire need of some reorganization. That said, it would probably take a lot of time and effort to do so. And from what I can expect, I don’t think this will ever happen. Considering that even the god damn armor-set page on this same wiki is still infuriatingly incomplete. I guess I can say whatever I want without anything to really happen in return. Also because on the boss page Maeda Keiji’s picture is still that of Maeda Toshiie, even though they’re not even remotely the same person. I guess not all wikis, dedicated to a single game, are created equally.

This is not full list, also will be better to have order like in game (I mean like in "Forge" section and maybe table with categories)

Submit

Got the text for the Sohaya Armor (the medium set) but it only unlcoked the helmet, gloves, and legs. Still need the waist and chest peice. is this a glitch?

Submit

Just to be clear... you don’t have to play in higher difficulties if you want certain blueprints. It doesn’t make any difference. You can just farm bosses on The Way of the Samurai. Otherwise it will just take much longer. You can farm blueprints in the lower difficulties just fine, the droprate doesn’t change.

I got the Bonepile Spear text off the Kamaitachi in “The High Spirited Demon” in case anyone needs it and are having a hard time getting it from an Enki.

Submit

So there isn’t a page concerning the arts of combat so I’m just gonna dump my opinion about them here. There are not enough of them. Some weapons only have one whereas others have four (dual blades). And Its pretty unfair, not just in my opinion but in general. Take the sword for example, it has two arts of combat but one of them is just a really long stab. Which is fine if you wanted an ability with which you can close the distance with your enemy. But lets be honest, its just that move for the odachi but smaller. This is pretty underwhelming for me at least. And this goes for almost half of them. The droprate for these abilities is painfully low, it feels almost like torture even. And when you finally do get the one you were looking for, chances are that its a major letdown (axe: spirit storm). When I found out that arts of combat were an actual thing I was excited as hell and started grinding the bosses to get my first taste of this new thing. I was expecting flashy, extravagant, satisfying and worthwile attacks that you would want in an rpg. To say the least, I’m dissapointed. Here’s hoping the dlc’s will provide us with something absolutely amazing.

Farming in this game sucks sometimes I have 99,5 % of all Smithing Texts and the only text i missed is for Genno´s Hammer. I farmed William 100 times on Way of the Samurai and 120 on Way of the Strong with max Luck / Item droprate / Luckbringer Talisman and i don´t get it. Last week i saw a video on yt where someone farmed Otakemaru in coop on Way of the Strong and he drop the Smithing Text for Genno´s Hammer. I farmed Otakemaru 80 - 100 times on Way of the Strong and still no Text WTF -.-*

Submit

On NG+ and I've been farming the bosses 20x and still no smithing text, I'm sick of game designers pulling this extremely low drop rate in games like this! So not playing anymore.

Otakemaru in Eye of the Beholder on NG+ drops about 2 - 3 smithing texts - weirdly enough, only when helping out as phantom; doing the mission myself did not yield any texts. Texts were of random weapons and armour sets. Just farming him got me from ~3ß% to 52% of overall smithing texts collected.

If you want to farm a specific smithing text, pray at the closest shrine to the boss. Then kill the boss, see whatever he drops. If the text does not drop, do not go forward. Exit to main menu. The game does not save if you kill a boss only if you finish the mission. Then load. You should be back to the shrine that you last visited and the boss will be waiting again for another try. Rince and repeat. When you find the text then you can end the mission and you will have it in the blacksmith.

Submit

Got the Warrior of the West's Honor and the The Crossed Sickles Set smithing texts from Shuten Doji with around 30 % item drop rate and hunter kodama blessing with Kodama bowl equiped. Took me around 6-7 tries. Hope this helps. He dropped other smithing texts for weapons as well.

And on a side note: the guy that wears the Wild Boar Crest Helmet, Okabe Motonobu, who is also in Imagawa Diehard (the axe weilder) drops the text for that head.

Submit

So does the master archer armor smithing set actually drop from imagawa yoshimoto? 60+ plus tries here and nothing...got a lot of smitjing texts inclunding bitj skill books but no armor text...

Submit

Farmed Yoshitatsu 10 times on NG+ and got several varied drops. Tokagemaru, Udoto, Barbarian's Hatchets, Genryu's Armor set and Merchant's armor set I remember for sure, as well as the katana skill book 'Dragon Fang' and the odachi skill book "Dragon Horn'. Farmed in the map "Point of no Return". Imagawa Yoshimoto dropped the White Bone Spirit Tonfas, Evil-Crusher Switchglaive, Master's Archer Bow, 'Punish the Proud' skill book for dual swords and the 'Windswept' skill book for switchglaive. The rest of the "Golden Boy" set is implied but I've yet to get the swords or armor. Farmed in "Imagawa Diehard". Obsidian Samurai drops Gozutenno's Axe, Starcutter Sword, and the Obsidian Samurai armor set so far, and Honda Tadakatsu drops the Tombokiri spear and Warrior of the East armor set. No luck with skills from either. Also obtained the wooden spear from the Dojo quest "Hanzo the Demon". Seems pretty evident looking at other replies that a number of items like corrupted weapons are shared across many drop pools and not specific to a single enemy / boss necessarily.
