Crafting ultimate weapons at Julie's Gearworks in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth requires tracking down a variety of rare crafting components. Among these elusive items, the Empty Cough Drop Tin stands out as a crucial material needed for high-tier equipment upgrades. Players often find themselves searching dumpsters and street corners without success during the early stages of their journey. Understanding where to find and reliably acquire these tins can save you hours of unnecessary grinding.
What Are Empty Cough Drop Tins Used For
Empty Cough Drop Tins serve as specialized crafting materials necessary for constructing powerful weapons across various character jobs. When combined with base weapons and high-grade elemental materials, these tins help forge late-game gear. Equipping your party members with these upgraded armaments ensures you are well-prepared for tough story encounters and optional end-game dungeons.
Purchasing Tins from the Yokohama Underground
The most reliable method to acquire Empty Cough Drop Tins opens up once players gain access to the Yokohama Underground dungeon in Chapter 10. As you navigate the randomized floors, defeating enemies earns you Survey Disks that can be exchanged at the entrance vendor Utamaru. Tins cost 2,000 disks each, making dungeon exploration a guaranteed avenue for gathering what you need.
Farming Enemy Drops in Hawaii and Ijincho
For players seeking alternatives to dungeon grinding, specific street encounters offer rare item drops. In late-game Hawaii, mobs roaming near the Harbor Street pier or around Nirvana Hotel have a chance to drop tins when defeated. Equipping drop-boosting accessories, such as the Fairy Lei, significantly improves your chances of securing these valuable tins from combat.
Tips for Efficient Material Gathering
To maximize your resource farming efficiency, always combine drop-rate equipment with high-density combat routes. Target higher-tier enemy groups or specific enemy types like Clawmanders to optimize your drop frequency. Balancing dungeon currency exchanges with street battles ensures a steady stream of materials for all your weapon upgrades.
