They stack.
Breaking the head gets you a break reward.
Breaking the back gets you a break reward.
Capturing gets you X capture rewards.(If you don't have a skill that manipulates this, you get 2 drops guaranteed and a ~69% chance at a third).
Break and capture rewards are added in the bottom section of the rewards screen after finishing a quest. You'll get break rewards regardless of capturing, killing, or even if the monster gets away(if you still clear the quest).
So, if you break its head, its back and capture it, you get:
One 4% chance from the head drop.
One 1% chance from the back drop.
Two 4% chances from capture and a 69% chance at a third 4% chance, assuming you don't have a skill that affects this.
Ah okay that's good to hear. Thanks! Been farming pink rathian for a while by capturing it and was wondering if I was doing something wrong. Guess I just need more luck.
