Skell Weapon List

Remember to deck all your characters in Treasure Sensor gear to always* get Intergalatic rarity drops

*Not actually always

Turns out all basic enemies with the same model drop the same base stuff, regardless of their name

Level of gear, and series of gear (ie: XXR550 vs XXR560) is dependant on the level of enemy killed.

Enemies in 10 level ranges (ie:21 to 30) all drop the same level/series. They can all also rarely drop one series tier higher

Higest possible series, and hence the strongest gear, is the common drop in the 61 to 70 enemy level range and up. Likewise they are available as a RARE drop in the 51 to 60 range

A breakdown of enemy level vs series it can drop is as follows:

Enemies in the 01 to 10 level range will not drop skell gear

Recommended locations for farming (that I know of) will be listed below for:

Series 60, aka strongest level 50 skell gear

Series 30, aka strongest level 30 skell gear

Series 20, aka strongest level 20 skell gear

Some gear doesn't actually exist at lower level ranges

Location list is not exaustive, but rather an attempt at the "best" spots for efficient farming. Series 60 locations are the most researched

No-dhor, the Shadowcaster, north of FN Site 316

Nardacyon, the Shadowless, post game only, on top of plateau near Beadrock Hold

Short-Rifle overlaps with Milsaadi (Male) which is odd because usually if two enemies share one drop, they share ALL drops, but these don't

GROUND GEAR LINE_______________________________________________________________________________________

All enemies listed below this line have ground gear in their drop pool, and hence are less likely to drop skell gear than the enemies above the line

Oddly, the Enemy Intel for the male Milsaadi that teleport in here says they should be in the 41-50 range, but these are always exactly 40
