Pirate101: Moo Manchu's Nefarious Tower Drop Guide
I don't normally do this, but enough people are confused an overwhelmed with what all drops in the Nefarious Tower of Moo Manchu's (available only in the Pirate101 Test Realm currently) that I figured there'd be not better way to organize and inform about drops than through a post guide.
Which Battles Do They Drop From?
This first bit of gear, and perhaps the most interesting, is dropped from the Nefarious Five on floor 8 of the dungeon. They have a second chance chest if you are interested. I suspect they drop their facial hair and fancy accessories that we haven't found yet, so if you get anything I don't have, let me know!
These bosses have the power to convert you into an evil minion that is permanently charmed to their team, and then you must be killed by your teammates. The Privateer will charm anyone who gets too close, and you can also change yourself (one per battle) by drinking from the fountain in the middle. If you win the battle in your evil form, you get the badge, The Nefarious 6th. Equipping it will make your eyes glow red.
Each boss is wearing a few unique items, and they all drop everything they're wearing (or so we assume). Some drop more things than others, and they have other rare drops beyond these, but the items here are unique to this battle, so take advantage of the fight and the second chance chest to get this epic gear!

On the tenth floor, Moo Manchu stays guarded by his warriors. In this battle, he is more fearsome than ever before, with many an epic ability and spells he can cast across the arena. Not to mention the multitude of enemies and attacking obstacles.
This encounter with Moo provides the opportunity for a lot of new items. Number one is a new Imperial version of his outfit, which looks pretty neat. Then there are several staff combos, and all of the staff weapons and indeed combos.
Moo also drops at least one very rare doubloons and there is apparently a new banner dropped in-game somewhere, and my money is on Moo Manchu. You'll definitely want to have some crowns ready for this one!

Other Cool Stuff
There are a lot of two-card items that drops in at least two battles in the instance. However, there are so very many of those that they will not be included. What's really significant is the new totems, charms, and rings with three cards each that are geared toward one school.
These will truly be game-changers, as having these extra powers (some of which didn't come on gear before) will allow each class to play even more on their powers. Let me also note that hidden is going to be quite a bit more useful given that you stay hidden until you do damage, and do not lose it if you're hit. As I understand it, these items are dropped from both the Nefarious Five and Moo Manchu. Take a look!
Here's how they're organized - they come in tiers for level 55, 60, and 65, and there is one totem, charm, and ring for each class. They are organized first by level tier, then each row is for one class, and each column is for one item type.

Thank you for this guide as a witchdoctor much of this is very helpful to me especially the mask that will allow me to take control of my fallen enemies. Plus the weapons of the five are very valuable and now I know what to look for. So thank you swordroll.
ReplyDeleteGreat guide, Jason! Can't wait to level up and challenge the Tower on Live Realm in a few months. :)
ReplyDeletePrivateers and Swashbucklers undoubtedly benefited most from this update. In PVP, Swashbucklers are going to basically dominate everyone with their extra 3 Assassin's Strikes and Hide in Shadows.
ReplyDeleteyea i plan to dominate as a max swashbuckler
Deletenice guide cant wait for those new daggers, and possibly staff along with skull mask and the buckler amulet and one question where those hairstyle things shown drops from manchu or the nefarious? i want that mustache! lol

ReplyDeleteLets Do this!
ReplyDeleteAwsome!
ReplyDeleteare you still finding the other gear that isnt on here?
ReplyDeleteYes! As a matter of fact, I've got several more since the last update. Instead of editing every time I find one, I'll do large updates, though. There should be one soon!
DeleteWhen?
DeleteSo when is the large update coming?
ReplyDeleteI found Devil Doctors silks. here is a pic for the page.
ReplyDeleteJust a heads-up that now all the weapons, accessories and gear are tradable. Exception is Moo Manchu's gear that I can't confirm, but since a lot of other boss-specific items are now tradable, I'd say there's a good chance it's also tradable.
