If you’re grinding in Blox Fruits Update 257, you probably want to know which boss gives the best weapon drops. Farming bosses for weapons saves you from buying them and often gets you rare loot you can’t find anywhere else. The answer depends on what weapon you need, but one boss stands out for consistent drops: the Cake Prince.

Which boss in Blox Fruits 257 has the best weapon drops?

The Cake Prince in the Third Sea is the top choice for weapon farming in Update 257. He has a solid chance to drop the Soul Cane, a highly useful sword for both grinding and PvP. Many players also farm him for the chance at other rare items like dark fragments. If you’re looking for a boss that reliably drops weapons instead of just materials, Cake Prince is your best bet.

The Dough King also drops weapons, but his spawn is harder to trigger and his loot table is more mixed. You might get a Dark Blade (very rare), but most of the time you’ll get fighting style items or fruit drops. For pure weapon farming, Cake Prince is more efficient.

What makes a boss worth farming for weapons in Update 257?

A “good” boss for weapon drops has three things: a high drop rate for a weapon, predictable spawn location, and reasonable difficulty to solo. Cake Prince checks all those boxes. He spawns in a set location in the Third Sea, and his attacks are easy to dodge once you learn them. Compare that to bosses like Indra or Rip_Indra, who have lower weapon drop rates and require more setup.

Also, Update 257 introduced new loot rotation mechanics. This means some bosses have better weapon drops during certain times or after you defeat other enemies. To track this, you can check the arena loot rotation schedule so you know when Cake Prince is most active.

Cake Prince vs Dough King – which one drops more weapons?

If you compare the two directly, Cake Prince gives you more weapons per hour. Dough King has a longer spawn cooldown and often requires a group to defeat quickly. Cake Prince can be soloed with decent gear, and his weapon drop rate for Soul Cane is around 5–10% according to player reports. Dough King’s Dark Blade drop rate is below 1%. So if you want a guaranteed weapon within a few hours, go with Cake Prince.

However, if you already have Soul Cane and want a chance at the Dark Blade, Dough King is the only option. Just be prepared for a long grind. For more tips on maximizing your farming, see our detailed weapon farming guide.

How to maximize your weapon drop chances from bosses

Drop rates in Blox Fruits are fixed, but you can increase your effective runs per hour by doing these things:

  • Use a fast fruit or sword – kill the boss quicker so you can respawn or reroll faster.
  • Equip a damage-boosting accessory – less time per kill means more attempts.
  • Bring a friend or alt account – one player can hold the boss aggro while you hit it from behind.
  • Learn the low-health boss solo strategy – when the boss is almost dead, use a quick burst combo to finish it. Read our solo strategy for low-health bosses to avoid dying at the last second.
  • Check spawn conditions – some bosses only appear after you defeat certain mini-bosses or collect items. For example, Cake Prince requires you to defeat the Cake Queen first. Use our guide on how to find lost spawns for fragments to fix common spawn issues.

Common mistakes when farming weapon drops in Third Sea

Many players waste time on the wrong boss or ignore important mechanics. Here’s what to avoid:

  • Farming Dough King without a group – he heals constantly and can one-shot you. Solo takes 10+ minutes and you might still not get a weapon.
  • Not checking the loot rotation – Update 257 changes drop chances based on server activity. If you’re farming during a low-rotation window, you’ll get fewer weapon drops.
  • Ignoring secondary loot – while farming weapons, you might also get enhanced cores or awakened fragments. These can be sold for money or used to upgrade gear. Check the secret location for enhanced cores for extra farming spots.
  • Forgetting to reroll bosses – if a boss doesn’t drop a weapon after several kills, server hop to reset the loot table. Some players think the drop rate is per server, not per kill.

Where to find these bosses quickly

Cake Prince spawns in the Cake Castle area of Third Sea. You need to defeat the Cake Queen first (she’s on the castle roof). After that, Cake Prince appears in the main hall. Dough King is harder to reach – you must get a “Dough Kingdom” quest from the NPC near the big tree and then locate the hidden island in the sky. Both locations are marked on the map once you’ve discovered them, but if you’re new, bring a fast flying fruit or a friend who knows the way.

Your personal weapon farming checklist

Before you start, go through this short checklist to save time:

  1. Decide which weapon you want – Soul Cane (Cake Prince) or Dark Blade (Dough King).
  2. Equip a high-damage sword or fruit to speed up kills.
  3. Check the arena loot rotation to see if Cake Prince is boosted today.
  4. Bring a spare accessory that gives extra luck (like the Ghoul Mask or Leprechaun Hat).
  5. Set aside at least 30 minutes for each boss session – don’t expect a drop in the first five kills.
  6. After each kill, quickly loot and exit to reset the boss’s AI.

Stick with Cake Prince if you want a reliable weapon drop. Switch to Dough King only if you’re willing to grind for hours. Either way, you’ll walk away with useful loot from Update 257.
