Force Core in Cabal Online: where each grade drops

Anyone searching for force core cabal online wants to put options on a slotted weapon or armor and doesn't know where the grade they need drops. On Cabal Latino the Force Core (called Cristal de Aethral in the Spanish client) comes in five grades: Low, Medium, High, Highest and Ultimate, which in Spanish appears as Cristal de fuerza (ultimo). Here are all five in one table and, below it, every place for each grade with the exact chance from the server.

What the Force Core is and what it is for

The Force Core does not raise the upgrade level (+1, +2…); that is the job of the Upgrade Core (see Upgrade Core (High)). The Force Core adds an option to a slotted item: critical rate, critical damage, attack, HP… A weapon with slots and good options is worth more than the same weapon with a higher upgrade level.

• It only works on items with a slot; if yours has none, you first need a Slot Extender (see Slot Extender (High)), one of the rarest drops in the game.
• Each item grade requires its own core grade: a core of the wrong grade will not work.

The risk of failure and what to spend Alz on first are covered in the upgrade guide.

Table: the best place for each Force Core grade

The other three DX dungeons (Lava Hellfire, Panic Cave and Steamer Crazy) have the same percentage as Catacomb Frost for Low, Medium and High. The chance is per chest or per monster and does not stack across places; in the tables below the source is the chest unless a monster is indicated.

Force Core (Low): where it drops

9 places and almost one in two chests (49.75%) in the level 110 DX dungeons. Without that level, Tower of the Undead B1F (level 55 to 85 depending on the version) gives 34.95%, and Wurk also drops it in Lake in Dusk (level 55).

Force Core (Medium): where it drops

8 places. The DX dungeons (46.75%) and Chaos Arena (25%) lead; outside them the chance falls, with Volcanic Citadel (level 95) at 6.422% and the rest below 4%.

Force Core (High): where it drops

The grade with the most places: 18. First the DX dungeon chest (24.88%), then Chaos Arena (20.47%) and the Labyrinth (15%; level 200, solo); the party dungeons range from 10% (Holy Keldrasil and Holy Windmill, for two players) down to 2.817% (Tower of the Undead B2F), most of them between 6% and 10%. The server table also lists the Training Dummy in the three starter maps at 16%.

Force Core (Highest): where it drops

17 places. Here Chaos Arena takes first place (25%), a hair above the DX dungeons (24.88%), and the Labyrinth rises to 20%; Abandoned City and Pandemonium come in at 9.783%.

Force Core (Ultimate): where it drops

The Ultimate changes its name in the Spanish client (Cristal de fuerza (ultimo)) and its places: it no longer drops in the DX dungeons. 10 places, all chests: Chaos Arena (20%), Labyrinth (15%) and eight high-level dungeons between 6% and 7%, led by Automata Lab (level 190).

How to farm Force Core without depending on anyone

• From Low to Highest, the DX dungeons: Panic Cave, Steamer Crazy, Catacomb Frost and Lava Hellfire are solo dungeons from level 110, last 20 or 25 minutes and the chest has the same percentage in all four. The DX dungeons guide explains them one by one.
• Chaos Arena works for all five grades: it is the only place where all of them drop, between 20% and 25% per chest.
• For the Ultimate, Labyrinth (level 200, solo): 15%, and in the same chest a 15% chance of High and 20% of Highest.
• Compare with the market before farming; the rest of the rare items are in the most wanted drops.
