Appearance rate of a Rare Enemy Map?

[Garanz-Baranz]

Does anyone know the appearance rate of a Rare Enemy Map?

Don't say it's random, because at a random rate, a rare map would have a 1/4th chance of appearing as there are 12 different maps per mission.

No.

I don't think there's a quantifiable number anyone can attach to it. Some people are lucky and see them maybe once every 20 times they ever do a certain mission. Some might do it 150 times and not see it once. That's the problem with coming up with a number, it's all personal luck and thus one person's experience totally throws off the count from another one.

The only way one could come up with a number is if we all pool together and counted how many times we run a mission, and how many times we got a rare map. Then someone gets that information and averages it out. Then it would probably still be inacurrate.

It's random...and it doesn't have to be 1/4th if it's random it could be 1/100th (just increase the chance of it being a normal map and you are done.)

I don't think anyone would have a genuine answer, only guesses. I would say 1 in 50 or maybe 1 in 100 being rare, at least when I restart the "possible" maps.

Truthfully I think it's better if you just don't think abou percents, and just go for the goal. If you have a % hanging over your head it'll just make you angry at the fact of "BUT IT'S A 4% CHANCE I'VE DONE THIS 100 TIMES AND NOT ONCE..." Sorta thing, yanno? o_o;

Yup, as random as each day's weather.

Just think of how lucky you have to be to get a PP save unit for example.

1. You need luck for the proper initial enemy mob spawn.

2. You need luck for the proper secondary enemy mob spawn.

3. You need luck for the rare enemy spawn. (sometimes 2nd requirement not necessary)

4. You need luck for the rare unit to drop.

Dat's a hole lotta luck, yo.

I'd rather have a ratio to have an estimate for the times i need to do this...

Hell, i've killed 646 Rag Rappy before even getting an Al Rappy on PSO, with the Rare monster appearance rate at 1/513.

Mad? Nah.
