Guess what, just soloed 3 dragon nest kings, A rank 2 times, another being S rank(full map too), nothing was given at the end
I'm starting to believe too much combo affects it :< easily 300+ combo in any room with the babe dragons.
Maybe I should just move on lol
Edit: Partied with someone in golem and that guy got a purple cannon from the reward, I asked if I could have it and he ran away

Sucks, but its all random, theres a slightly higher chance from gold cards, but you still cant effectively hunt for items that way, it takes a lot of dedication if you plan to. Im personally just leveling and using what I find/get from friends and quests. I wont concentrate on a really nice weapon/armor set untill 40 when I plan to PvP a lot.
Even then i'd say im probably better off buying a lot of 35-40 slayer weapon pots and breaking em open than farming dungeons all day, but thats just me.

I'm not even looking for great drops. I just want something that I can npc/break after each dungeon, like in the early dungeons. Unless higher dungeons are supposed to give out equips at such a low rate.

Sounds to me like you were just lucky early on, or are unlucky now, I have not noticed any real difference in drops between then, but it does make sense that it may be the case as you get higher drops get rarer since they're worth more, but really I haven't seen any evidence of it personally.

[color="#cc8899"]Golem is a pretty easy dungeon, barring the random puppets (FUUUUUUU puppets, Ihu - they somehow manage to attack even when being launched into the air...). Most of the monsters are really slow and can just be slide-kicked to death without ever retaliating. The bigger ones that float up and down are incredibly easy to dodge as well. Even the boss never really hurts me except for the random deflection of my attacks. He is a pain to run away from if he gets too close though.
Puppets PISS ME OFF though. I still need to solo Puppet Kings with GSD, but haven't unlocked it solo because I get hit too much soloing Master. I may clear it with a party to get S rank and then solo with GSD, then NEVER go back.[/COLOR]

I didn't CHEAT but I did use a token at some point because of a massive mob of armors raping me.

Waste of SP for something I won't use much. Besides, I don't spam my normal attack, I use my heavy weapons. Cancel only works on my normal attack, correct? Besides, it will be given to us free eventually, and I don't want to risk not getting a SP reset.

Yeah the flying shits are annoying..
Golem isn't so easy for me for some reason(master), can't effectively kill the commander sice the golems are so huge, blocking all the hits. And the no armor golems are shits too, they know quick rebound!
And I agree the boss is fairly easy, run away styer + gatling. But the random gatling reflection hurts my ass bad.
Everything is easy with party tho, should try to get in/make a party as much as possible.

[color="#cc8899"]I don't even bother with the Golem Commanders, I just spam hell on the armor'd golems - they're slower and easier targets. The extra defense helps me get more Style/Tech as well. If I do need to dispatch them quickly, I run up and BBQ them, which results in a near instant KO most of the time. Also, for fun, I went back and ran Poison Thunderland - I 1hitko'd Penril on Kings with BBQ. Felt good. Damn good.
Also, since I get heavy mastery as a Launcher, I've started trying to make my Schwarz Kreis Belt (I found the top randomly in Dragonoid Nest). So I'll have 2 pieces of the set  [/COLOR]

I'm swapping to heavy too, but they don't drop me shits >.<
And somehow I feel launchers aren't solo friendly, attacks are so much more effective when there's someone in front holding the mobs for you. Hope it changes in higher level, I'm more of a soloist type, and I love the idea of a launcher

[color="#cc8899"]I tend to do fine, but there's some tricky jump boosting involved (jumping + shooting with a hand cannon + holding backwards direction to go flying) to get in a good mobbing position). My biggest problem is the mana burn actually. I tend to do well partied with a Slayer or Priest, who can hit and aggro a crowd of enemies while I slowly torch them to death. I recommend practicing with a hand cannon in dungeons to learn jump boosting. It makes for a great trap in PvP as well (Letting an enemy get close while facing away from them, then jumping boosting behind them when they try to attack you. Flamethrower or Gatling their back in the meantime before they can turn around - they'll more than likely have done the hard part of lining themselves up on your plane for you to boot
Also, you can invest in the robot skill - it gives enemies an additional target to attack, buying you some fragment of time and possibly luring some enemies for you. Or not, I can't remember if they will chase it or not.[/COLOR]

The jump thing sounds like a good idea. I knew it, but rarely use a cannon(partially because my best cannon is lv15 white lol) in dungeon, I'll give it a try xD.
Edit: Just read on somewhere launcher skills(heavy arms) ignore attack on weapon, only stats affect it. Sounds weird o.o
And this just looks hot!

I'm the same way, but it's good practice for when some of our best skills are cannon only. Plus, Bomb is awesome. It takes a sizable chunk of HP off of a boss. Btw, I didn't invest any points in Punisher - it in essence is the same thing as BBQ, in that it incapacitates an enemy quickly and then dishes out unavoidable damage for a second or two. Between the 2, I prefer the one that gets boosted by my skillset. Though Punisher DOES look badass.

I have a question about skills. Does anybody have a complete list of skills and stuff or a website with the information. Main website is not helpful at all.
