Junk Core

The core of a Junk King's throne, still humming with whatever goblins run on. Junk Core is the legendary-tier material and the reason crafting at Eren's bench is a project rather than an afternoon. The drop rates are brutal. Barrel Champion leads at 0.64%, roughly one core per 156 kills. Critter Goblin and Buckethead Goblin follow at 0.15%, Scarecrow Goblin at 0.10%, and Spore Deer, Cup Snail and Cog Crab all sit at 0.07%, around one in 1400. Patch Hound is worst at 0.06%. Compare that with Rusty Gear at 28.56% from the same Barrel Champion and the difference is a factor of forty-five. Every other material accumulates while you play. Junk Core has to be hunted. Recipe requirements look small until you apply those rates. Goblin Fork Stabber needs 1. The mid tier needs 2. Junkblade, Junk Totem and Scrap Sledge each need 4, which at Barrel Champion's 0.64% means around 625 kills for one weapon. Vendors pay 20 Tria. Selling a Junk Core is throwing away several hundred kills for the price of a third of a Simple Bread, so never do it. Barrel Champion is the only sensible target. Nothing else comes close, and the mobs at 0.07% should be treated as a lottery you happen to be playing rather than a plan. No level or class restriction applies, and no shop stocks it. Plan around this material and nothing else. Wood, Scrap Metal and Rusty Gear all arrive faster than you can spend them if you are farming Barrel Champion for cores. The correct approach is to decide which weapon you want, count the cores, and treat everything else as a side effect of the grind.
