Where do you get El Patron's sword!?!?!

[Catherine Ironcutter]

Pfft, I just shoot Timothy for fun. He's never given me anything worth keeping.

Anyways, I got my Bloodfire Cutlass off something on the bridge at Tormenta. I'm not sure what.... but then I got a Bruiser's Cutlass and a Bejeweled Broadsword off of Darkheart. Then I got another Bejeweled Broadsword off of Bonerattler. So it's completely random. I got lucky. I have still to find the Lost Sword, but obviously I'm not looking for it.... if you look for it, you won't get it, if you don't look for it, you will. LOL.

One of my friends got the sword from the grenadier boss at Rat's Nest.

I got mine at Dark Heart on the first day the updates came out. I was trying to go for relics but then I got the sword on the way. I still have no relics though. It only took me 30 minutes to get the sword.

Unlike most people, I actually got mine from the treasure fleet a long time ago. Back then I had no idea what the lost sword was, all I knew was that is was pretty powerful.

Anyway, back at the topic, i didn't know devil root drops, only normal stumps drop.

I believe I read with the new updates that Devil Root now drops along with others that did not before.

I got mine on Isla Tormenta from a thrall captain. But it could have just been the luck of the draw.

[Delirious]

I got mine at Dark Heart along with all my other famed weapons... I have had no luck any place else.

The loot drops are all completely random anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves all you can do is go out and defeat enemies and the prized loot will come eventually. Happy hunting mateys.

[BenRopeburn]

yes the loot drops are random. I got both the Lost Sword of El Patron and Mercer's blades from timothy dartan though, I was fighting alone and with my beloved War Scattergun

ok this is a thought just saying, but maybe its the sea charm you have. I have asked many people throughout the game who have all the good stuff, i just have general's broadswor di got from neban :P, anyway he said he had golden sea charm with a boost of 3 treasure sense, and i recently did the extra bonus thing to get bandit sea globe from raven's cove the fish guy task. So maybe it has something to do with that, ever since i got a higher sea charm, i have been getting better and better weapons, if you get a famed won, i'm thinking that you have a better chance of finding something awesome

Treasure sense boost has no affect on loot drops on land. Although I think the loot you get is affected by the amount of time you play and what you are getting during that time. For example I played for about an hour and got 10 skull chests but nothing of value inside, I played for about three more hours after that with maybe one or two skull chests, So I gave up. The next day I get on I'm playing for about ten minutes in the morning and I get two skull chests dropped at the same time and each had a famed repeater pistol in it. Time vs the amount of skull chests your getting has something do with it. If you're not getting that many skull chests and you've been on for awhile I think it increases your chance of a valuable loot droops i.e. famed or legendary, but if you're getting a ton of skull chests your not very likely to get something of value.
