Yeah, that. As far as I'm aware, elim, eggs, silks, and other stuff like that just drop randomly on X% of battles, with nothing to do with which enemies you're fighting. That's why in the encyclopedia they're listed as zone drops while enemy-specific ones are listed next to that enemy.
i really thought eliminates/ambushes/rally were like enemy specific. like in bamboo falls, i swear it's the tengu (eliminate) and the wandering surgepriest (ambush) that have consistently been the ones to drop stones for me, and chimera in the eliminate, etc. i haven't paid enough attention in other venues. also eggs do drop from all enemies, but aren't they also limited to enemies dropping only eggs they have the alignment of, or am i completely imagining things.
On the coli encyclopedia pages the eggs and battlestone drops are listed in a general "unusual/rare drops" section on the bottom. If they were attached to a specific monster, they'd be listed in the monster loot tables up top.
I understand reading the page that way, but I don't think this is true. Black tulips are listed in the unusual drops, and they definitely come from specific enemies only. (Blackwing Croaker, Nightsky Fuiran) They must use a different loot table, but I'm certain they're tied to those enemies. So it's likely IMO that the uncommon stones are the same way.
i swear i've gotten egg drops from battles that contained no enemies of the same element of the egg, but i never paid enough attention to be completely sure of that...
