• Though not listed above, Lunar Chimeras may drop items as well, and do so with significantly high rates.
• Drop chance is logged to the Console when a monster is killed.

Since drop chance cannot be lower than 5%, the Artifact of Swarms' drop chance reduction is less impactful against monsters that have low base drop chances. The following table shows some examples:
