Each boss/miniboss has their own unique item that they can drop. The only exception is the bosses in the final area, which each drop 3 items of a larger set. Here's a list:

  * Tier 1
    * Krolan - Krolan's Hammer
    * Goblin Chief - Goblin Branch
    * Ardwen - Ardwen's Gloves
    * Geno - Blood Tunic
    * Cid - Dark Steppers
    * Seagate - Seagate's Tri-pants
  * Tier 2
    * Gruzza - Amir Blade
    * Prioss - Huntsman Bow
    * Antlion Queen - Greed Cowl
    * Zola - Battle Leathers
    * Kylana - Escape Boots
    * Mez - Mez's Wraps
  * Tier 3
    * Xonun - Lost Totem
    * Mog - Mog's Axe
    * Buchi - Guardsman's Cuirass
    * Nishi - Inferno Pendant
    * Cyl - Alchemist's Skirt
    * Metzger - Metzger's Battlemace
  * Tier 4
    * Arzoz - Soulband
    * Vohn - Fleshband
    * Ogel - Underworld Cloak, Underworld Platemail, Underworld Boots
    * Rakk - Underworld Armguards, Underworld Greaves, Underworld Tome
    * Lezaith - Underworld Blade, Underworld Bow, Underworld Sceptre

All these items have a 1% drop rate. That is, for each piece of loot that gets dropped when they die, there will be a 1% chance it will be a unique item. I actually don't think item find bonuses have enough of an effect on this. The bonus is applied as a percentage of a percent. So 100% bonus (so 200% total) item find would be required to give the uniques a 2% drop rate. It's more effective for the magic/rare items that have higher base drop rates.

The most active community is the [[https://opengameart.org/forums/flare|forums on OpenGameArt]]. I too wish the community was more active on the subreddit, as it has a nicer posting UI and threaded discussions.

There are descriptions of all the stats if you mouse over them in the Character menu. Poise is the chance for you to avoid "stumbling" when taking a hit. This means that you won't enter the "hit" animation and thus won't have your attack interrupted.

It looks good?

    * https://github.com/flareteam/flare-engine/wiki/Developer-Console
    * You can do this with the Developer Console. Open it and enter: exec respec=stats
    * Note: You can also use "powers" and "xp" in place of "stats" with respec.
  * You don't need 30 in each stat to equip a full set. The only thing you can't do is use all three weapons. Here's a breakdown:
    * The player can have a total of 104 stat points (5 per level * 20 levels, plus 1 point for each stat)
    * The most Defense required is 28, which leaves 76 points
    * The armor requires Physical/Mental/Offense of 14/15/16 respectivly, so subtract 45. That leaves 31 points.
    * Each weapon requires 30 points in one of Physical/Mental/Offense, but the player is only intended to use one of these based on their build.
    * On top of the armor requirements, the most points needed here would be 16 (30-14), so we subtract that. This leaves 15 points (3 levels) of wiggle room.
