Pals that drop Ingot
| Pal | Rate | Amount | Avg per kill | Where |

 Bushi Noct | 100% | 2–3 | 2.5 |
Rate and amount are stated by the game. “Avg per kill” is ours — the rate multiplied by the mean of the amount range — so you can compare a rare big drop against a reliable small one without doing it in your head.
Making it instead
Ingot has a recipe, so past a certain point it is cheaper to build than to hunt.
| Makes | From | Work |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Ingot | 2× Ore | 1,000 |
Chests, expeditions, nodes and other sources
The game stores these as weights rather than percentages — an item’s chance is its weight against everything else in the same grade. The odds below are that division done, so you can compare a route against hunting.
| Source | Type | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grasslands treasure chests (grade 1) | 2.9% | 1 |
