Brazil Mastery Items Part 3

Share:

The 5 Brazil job mastery items offer something extra for your character (1). We know what they are, but do they do what they say?
The Albino Python gives you a 20% increase for "required loot drops". I'm not sure what they mean by required. If they are referring to the required consumables, nice try! These items dropped at 100% on every level.
I was thinking maybe required consumables would drop in duplicate once and a while to get 120% but found that not to be the case.
The drop rate is so horrible for the other loot items that I hate to think what it's suppose to be if this is a 20% increase. There were no drop rates done on the Bronze, Silver or Gold Levels so there is no way to compare and see if this actually a 20% increase. We saw that prior collections claiming to increase the drop rate didn't work so I wouldn't be surprised if this one doesn't as well (1).
The NGO Mask appears to be working. The way I tested it out was to run the stopwatch on my iPhone. I healed, started the timer, attacked somebody and attempted to heal back up at 40 seconds. I was successful each time I tried and it works in all destinations.
The Abelha Helicopter offers one of the most useless bonuses this game has ever seen. City Store equipment sucks and they only time you need anything from it is to buy required equipment for jobs. If mastery is what gets you this bonus, then why would you need it after the fact. If it works in future destinations (providing there is ever one where currency is valuable) then it will be useful but for now it's not. This was easy enough to check out and it works as promised in all destinations.

It's hard to say or demonstrate if the bonus for the Camp Knife works. It's suppose to give you a 20% increase in robbing resistance for Brazil Properties. All you can do is a Hail Mary, hope Zynga is telling the truth and pray nobody steals your Precious Gems. The Jiu Jitsu Master is a hard one to demonstrate as well. Since the experience rewards for Missions are dependent on your level, the only way to prove it works would be to have two accounts that are the same level.

  2. I think the Camp Knife works, i keep getting very odd XP rewards for the missions, which really look like a 2% increase. :)
