Where to Find Innovative Technical Manual
4 Pals drop Innovative Technical Manual when defeated or captured, which is usually the faster route if you are already out hunting — the drop list below is sorted by how reliably each one gives it up.
It also shows up as world loot — chests in the Desert, chests in the Mount Obsidian and enemy camp boss stashes in the Mount Obsidian, and 13 more pools besides, usually 1–2 at a time. Higher-grade chests carry the better rolls, so the ones guarded by a camp are usually worth the detour.
