Unlocking the Treasures of Elite Pirates in Blox Fruits: A Comprehensive Guide
So, you’re sailing the treacherous seas of Blox Fruits, and you’ve set your sights on the elusive Elite Pirates? Excellent choice, aspiring pirate! These formidable foes hold the key to some seriously valuable loot. Let’s dive straight into what you can expect to snag when you finally defeat one of these powerful NPCs.
The core drops from Elite Pirates include:
- 100 Fragments: A reliable and consistent reward, Fragments are essential for a variety of upgrades and purchases within Blox Fruits.
- Hunter Cape/Bandanna: You have a chance to acquire a Black, Red, or Green Hunter Cape or Bandanna. These cosmetic items add flair to your character and show off your pirate prowess.
- God’s Chalice: The Holy Grail of Elite Pirate drops, there is a small chance (about 5%) of acquiring a God’s Chalice. This is crucial for spawning the formidable rip_indra and Dough King, leading to even greater rewards.
Remember, though, there are a few crucial caveats. The loot is granted only to the player who lands the last hit, so make sure you deal that final, decisive blow! Also, defeating the Elite Pirate without first accepting the Elite Hunter quest won’t count toward your progress for obtaining the coveted Yama sword. You will still receive the 100 Fragments.
Mastering the Elite Pirate Encounter
Understanding the mechanics surrounding Elite Pirates is key to maximizing your rewards. These NPCs are not like ordinary enemies. They are special level 1750 Boss NPCs, first introduced in Update 15. Unlike regular bosses, all Elite Pirates spawn simultaneously every ten minutes after the previous one has been defeated.
Currently, three distinct Elite Pirates roam the Third Sea: Deandre, Diablo, and Urban. They can be found at the following locations:
- Floating Turtle
- Hydra Island
- Great Tree
- Port Town
A helpful tip is to speak with the Elite Hunter NPC. He will tell you on which of the islands the current active Elite Pirate is located. Each Elite Pirate boasts around 60,000 HP and utilizes the awakened version of their respective Devil Fruit. Therefore, come prepared with a strong build and a solid strategy. While the reward is great, the challenge can be too, especially if you’re alone.
Frequently Asked Questions About Elite Pirates and Their Drops
Here are some of the most common questions players have about Elite Pirates and their rewards, along with detailed answers to help you become a true Blox Fruits master.
1. Do I need the Elite Hunter quest to get the regular drops (Fragments, Cape/Bandanna, God’s Chalice)?
No, you do not need the Elite Hunter quest to obtain the 100 Fragments, a Hunter Cape/Bandanna or even the God’s Chalice. However, the Elite Hunter quest is essential if you are hoping to acquire the Yama sword. Progress towards obtaining the Yama sword is only counted when you have the Elite Hunter quest active and defeat an Elite Pirate.
2. What is the best strategy for securing the last hit on an Elite Pirate?
There is no one-size-fits-all strategy, but utilizing high damage, low cooldown abilities can be beneficial. Weapons with good range, and those that trigger automatically (like some swords) could also aid in securing the final blow. Keep an eye on the Elite Pirate’s health bar and time your most powerful attack carefully. Furthermore, having friends help can be a bonus. However, the last-hitter rule still applies, and if someone secures the final hit, they will be the one to receive the rewards.
3. What are the chances of getting a God’s Chalice?
The estimated drop rate for a God’s Chalice from an Elite Pirate is around 5%. This makes it a relatively rare drop, so be prepared for some grinding!
4. What do I do with the God’s Chalice?
The God’s Chalice is used to summon rip_indra. To do this, you must go to Mirage Island during a full moon. Find the highest point on the island, then offer the God’s Chalice to the altar.
5. What are the chances of obtaining Yama with only 20 Elite Pirate kills?
The chance of obtaining Yama with 20 Elite Pirate kills is very low. While 20 is the minimum requirement, you are not guaranteed the sword. The chance increases with each kill until you reach 30, at which point it becomes a 100% chance.
6. Can I get Yama with player kills instead of Elite Pirate kills?
Yes! Player kills stack with the Elite Hunter kills for Yama. This means that you can obtain Yama if you kill enough players! This is a useful feature if you’re struggling to find an active Elite Pirate.
7. What happens if multiple players attack an Elite Pirate simultaneously?
The player who lands the final hit on the Elite Pirate is the only one who receives the drops, regardless of how much damage other players may have inflicted. This encourages both cooperation and competition!
8. What level do I need to be to fight Elite Pirates?
While the Elite Pirates are level 1750, it’s recommended to be a higher level to effectively fight them solo. Having a good build also helps. If you’re finding it hard to fight them, you can request a high level friend to help.
9. Do Elite Pirates despawn if no one is around?
No, Elite Pirates cannot despawn. Once they spawn, they will remain in their location until defeated. This ensures you have a chance to fight them, even if you’re delayed in reaching their location.
10. Is there a specific Elite Pirate that drops the God’s Chalice more often?
No, the God’s Chalice drop rate is the same for all three Elite Pirates. The chance of acquiring the God’s Chalice from each of the 3 available elite pirates is 5%.
11. How long does it take for Elite Pirates to respawn?
Elite Pirates respawn every ten minutes after the previous one was defeated. This provides a consistent timeframe for farming them.
12. Can I obtain the Hunter Cape/Bandanna multiple times?
Yes, the Hunter Cape/Bandanna can be obtained multiple times. However, since these are cosmetic items, you’ll only be able to equip one at a time. You can trade extra capes/bandannas with other players or discard them.
13. Are Elite Pirates the only way to obtain Yama?
No, Elite Pirates are not the only way to obtain Yama. Player Hunter quests also stack towards the 30 kills required to have a 100% chance of obtaining Yama.
14. Are the Elite Pirates located in the first, second, or third sea?
Elite Pirates are found in the Third Sea. This indicates they are designed for higher-level players.
15. What is the best Devil Fruit for defeating Elite Pirates?
There is no single “best” Devil Fruit, as effectiveness depends on your playstyle and build. However, fruits with high damage output, good mobility, and crowd control abilities are generally effective. Some popular choices include Light, Buddha (Awakened), and Magma (Awakened). Ultimately, experiment to find what works best for you.
