The Black Heart is a rare special drop. Although I don't know the exact percentage, it's probably a 5% or less chance that they'll drop it.

So far, I've killed 38 of the Darbelans, and only 1 dropped a Heart. (Yes, this happened on C Rank.) 8 of them dropped Copernia, 6 of them dropped an Olpad, the rest dropped money, normal loot, or nothing at all.

Heh it's funny how I encountered these guys on my very first run through HIVE and I had no idea they were rare until I looked at a few threads the next day. Unfortunately no drop but they did give a lot of EXP. >.>

Does the ratio of dropping the black heart go up if you do higher ranks?
Like, if you do it on B or A, your chance is better that they drop one then it would be on C? I know it worked that way in PSO a lot, is it the same here?

No idea but there is no increase in the chance of getting Rappies by doing a higher difficulty so I doubt it, all the people I've spoke to on Live found their blackhearts doing C runs. I must of done 200+ restarts trying to get the rare maps (C runs) and I'm still yet to even see a Darbelan. Out of boredom and frustration I did a single Unsafe Passage run and got two Rappy Amure so at least that's something.

I'll probably give up on the Blackheart hunt, most people are selling them in their shops for 1m+ but the price will come down in time as more are found.

Yay, first post!

It's only taken me 5+ years of lurking here.

10hrs of DS runs and not a single Darbelan.

So sad, so frustrating.

I. Feel. Your. Pain.

I had Myself and three friends all in seperate parties and during the 3 hours we did this, we only got 1 rare map. Thats prolly well over 600+ runs of nothing. I gave up on it, i rather just buy it, and save my energy for mass hunting Whitill Wings.

Magician also knows my pain as well. I feel for anybody who can't seem to get Random Maps to pop and spend all that time doing it. What's worse, is that often you feel like you're truly slowing your process of class levelling, in that very act.

That's why I don't really have the patience for that much popping, anymore. The only time I generally would do it, at that level, is if it is a temporarily available thing. I'm going to hate hunting for Amor Rappies. I can see it already.

Should've been on a couple nights ago; Bearur, BlackBeard, Sekani and I came across the Amore Rappies on MC S-rank. Two rappies, one room decor, one feather.

I'm playing the 360 version, I did a search over the weekend and there were about 8 people selling Blackhearts and they were all priced around the 1 million mark, the cheapest was exactly 1 million.

Well, I can't blame myself for nights in which I really can't physically make it. I've never seen a random map on Parum, so maybe I would've been bad luck.

Too true, there's nothing much you can do when RL (teehee, first time I've used that *crazyeyes*) errands and must-do's come first. But bah I say, dispite the belief in your "unlucky tendencies", I have a feeling you'll see them before their removal. We'll just have to party up a bit more and make it happen; it seems that non-popping rare spawns appear more often in a party than solo.

Well, last night I got my blackheart on the first rare spawn; I have no idea what you guys are doing wrong....

But yes, to the OP, I got it on C-rank.
