Re: <<Our Rare Findings Thread>>

Unfortunately Pouilly Slime only drops a useful rare in Ultimate (Twin Blaze). Equally unfortunate, he only drops his rare in difficulties other than Ultimate.

Playtime does effect your chances of rares. Once you get 1,000 hours you have the ability to find the uber-rare things in the game, but your chances still suck ass.

I've gotten several Summit Moons, two Imperial Picks, and a Resist/Devil the past two days offline. Nothing terribly exciting.

I see.. is that why you go by the game leader determining drops? Is a Needle considered an uber rare because I found one with Ren when she was just over 1000. Ducky whined it was his because he killed the claws (I killed that one though I think >_> He hates needles anyways and would have sold it he said ). Would make sense I suppose, it IS the game leader's section ID.

[Aleron Ives]

Since the leader's ID is the one that determines drops, it seems fairest to me to say that the leader gets first crack at any rares since his ID is the one that let the rare drop in the first place. If he hadn't been there, the rare wouldn't have dropped or something else would have dropped in its place. Since rare drops are so infrequent, this policy doesn't need to be put into effect very often.

I also use this policy since I don't trust anybody's drops except my own. Due to the ability to hack droprates on PSO PC, you can't really be sure any drop is legit unless you're leading. As such, it irks me if one of my drops gets nabbed by somebody else. There's also a sense of accomplishment when a rare drops for you, not just in a game you happen to be in.

On GC/BB, pretty much everyone uses the calling system. Before you start a run of whatever, each person calls a certain rare drop. If it drops, that person gets the item. Anything not called is first-come-first-serve AFAIK. This policy isn't practical on Ver.2 seeing as rares almost never drop, and who needs to call a Red Handgun?

I finally ran into a pouilly slime the other day... droped a devil/technique for my HUcast. *slaps forhead*

When I first started playing PSO on my DC, I would run into those orange slimes more frequently. Later on, not-so-much.

[Treamcaster]

Nar Lily dropped a Master Ability yesterday on caves -Normal mode-, for my 12 HUnewearl! Not properly a rare finding, but still rather nice.

[Aleron Ives]

Actually, Master/Ability is in fact Nar Lily's rare in Normal mode for many IDs.

[Treamcaster]

Oh rly? Anyways, I am just glad I found it in a low level.

[Treamcaster]

Another Nar Lily dropped an Hero/Ability, on cave 2. W00t mufuckas!
In the next day, at the mines 2 some piece of crap dropped S-beatArms (doubleW00t). And just quite after that drop, another junk machine dropped State/Maintenance!

A bitter sweet drop occured as a silence claw dropped with 20% on native and 55% on dark, only problem is that I dont have a char that can use it, other than my Humar,which has many weps with much better stats :x

[Pumpkin]

Interesting subject the fact of time played maybe determining rares, on my installation of PSO PC the time
played doesnt work properley and doesnt keep an accurate record of my time played, will this affect my drops?

[MuCast]

well, i figured i would post here since this hasnt been posted in for a while

Anyway my cool super awesome rare item i found yesterday was on my new character who is a viridia

I was playing V hard Caves offline when a stink frame with 1 slot dropped from a poison lily!

Yays

[Wing]

lol oh wow. Well I found a Sacred Cloth with three slots. Go look at the picture topic. lol :D

[Seismica]

I found myself a Devil/Technique in a ruins 3 box on vhard. Pointless for my RAcast, but rare nonetheless

I keep coming across a room in ruins 2 on offline mode vhard, where there is ALWAYS a God/item in a box. Been through there around 4 times (when the right room layout appears), i have found a God/Mind, God/legs+, God/Power, God/Body, God/arm-.

I tried to go there on online, but there was a 4 switch door in the way

I'm still after a God/Battle though... can RAcast Purplenum's even find those?

[Aleron Ives]

I think all IDs can get God/Battle; they generally drop from either Ruins 3 boxes or Bringers in Very Hard or Ultimate.

[Wing]

Yeah, most of the time. Most ID's can get Devil Battles in the Mines on vhard and ultimate as well. You're probably better off getting the best from ruins anyhow, I seem to find God Battles more often. Not to mention the Devil Battle is obsolete to it.
