Is it worth to kill the archive boss?

He drops a 25vd (among other stats) bandana. 

I wouldn't waste your time trying to get it as Sakura has a 50vd bandana and asepticaps give up 37vd now.

*vd= viral deflection

I'm Merovingian at Syntax, too. My handle is Amador5069 and the level is 23. MA, Infiltrator and Proxy Coder.

Ok, it's worth it. Here are the stats,

Focus (10 Levels)
Melee Physical Damage Resistance (6%)
Ranged Physical Damage Resistance (6%)
Viral Deflection (25pts)
Min character level at 30

The drops can be worth it; the question is how much time are you gonna spend trying to get it, lol?

I have on several occasions went with teams to take out the bosses of Yuki and later Ashencourt Archives, and it's pretty annoying on those days when the boss just won't drop the signature item you are looking for.

Since the difficulty on these guys have been jacked way up, our groups fought a long time and defeated the  bosses mulitple times, and often all the drop would be is something wimpy like a Coder Object.

So in short, the drops are worth it, but if you're on those unlucky days when it won't give up what you need, it's a lot of wasted time.

Ok, just found one thing. At least in Ashencourte, three MAs interlocking Gargoyle at the same time can defeat him easily. I suppose it's the same for all the others.

Now about the items, can anybody tell me the list of all boss drops or where such a list is?

thanks

Here is some more info on the Constructs / Archives.  My info on the drops
could be old.  Remember that even if you level above the construct then
you can stay in there and keep killing, but you also become a target for other
orgs as they know if they kill yah then you are not coming back.
