Tranquilizer Abilities (Capture Guru/Capture Expert)

It says they increase the chance of capture rewards, but I can't seem to find by how much. So there's the question, exactly how much do these abilities increase the drop rate of capture rewards?

Capture Guru only lets you see when the monster is ready to capture. You can tell by looking at the map, if the monster is marked with a paintball. It will start to blink.

Capture Expert doesn't increase the drop rate, just the amount of items you get at the end of a quest.

Considering you actually cap it :D

Doh...my bad on Guru. And how exactly does Expert work then if it doesn't increase the drop rates? Are the extra items predetermined or something?

If I remeber correctly it randomly gives 1-8 extra capture items but they still have the same percentages. So the idea is more drops gives more chances for a good drop.

capture master gives 4 cap rewards, capture expert gives 3, and without you get 2 (possibly 3?).

Wow. samsonite. I was WAAAYY off.

It doesn't increase the rates on everything. Just gives you more cap rewards and kinda does affect the rates at which you can get items that rates are increased when a monster is captured, since it gives you more cap reward items. Makes sense?

So it doesn't increase the percentages of each item individually, it just runs the check on how many items you find more times? That makes more sense. Thanks guys!

Yes. It affects the number of capture rewards (blue box). Thus, more chances of getting an item that is affected by capturing a monster.

Before this thread gets too stale I'll go ahead and ask this too. Seeing as how there are no quest rewards in free hunt, does this also apply to free hunt monsters and finding commodities?

Only Capture Guru will help in Free Hunt.

The ability to see when the monster is capable is good when you are in G-Rank gear and can overkill the monsters before they show signs of being capable. For my freehunts I have gear with Negate Hunger, Capture Guru, and I bring along the whetstone mask and Bunny Ears Kayamba.

I can always tell where the monster are, never run out of stamina, and know when to cap when I get monsters like I-Lagi, or Deviljho in the hunts.
