just bad luck?

[Silver_Wyrm]

I'm probably just having bad luck, but aside form the ridiculous amount of mats and decent walna, I haven't noticed the drop change at all. It seems like normal runs to me, every 3-4 runs I *might* see a 10*+ board drop, and I haven't even seen catilium in 10 or so runs O.o I also have only once gotten rare enemies and it was on the rare map.

Again likely just poor luck on my part, but I havent really noticed anything but my inv filling on 7-9* synth mats =/ Just wondering if anyone else is in same boat

[Miyoko]

In about, oh, 11 runs, we've seen a crimson drop, and nothing else worth mentioning.

[Miren]

From the site:
Event Mission Bonuses:

Item Drop rate is increased to 250%! <---- ITEM DROP RATE NOT RARE DROP % !

Experience is boosted as you go and reaches 350% at maximum!

Rare enemy encounter rate is much increased!

Number of Boss containers are doubled!

you see, the items will drop more , the mobs will almost always drop something (mats usually) instead of nothing. The chances of getting a rare will increase because mobs drop more things now but the % of it being rare will be the same. Oh, and btw it would NOT affect the boss boxes anyway since those boxes always drop "something".

[daniel_drago]

now i dont hav PSU available atm seein as my xbox died ARGH :@ but i could tell u this from my own experience with this game

NOTHING DROPS FOR MY PARTY. < full stop, fucking period We get nothing EVER. not joking I've had nothing at all.
I swear the game is set to drop things on a certain run after so many runs have been done, and we just never get them runs ever. the game hates us, but for some reason i still enjoy it :S. Ohwell looks like player shops are gona be nice and full by the time i get my xbox back *sigh*

no event for me to find out if the 'luck' really did change

the small text comes out http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif well you made it big text, but that would make sense

[chokeitdown]

I love when people think level 3 holy light = rare drop increase.

only thing I know luck increases is grinding, idk about anything else. I had mistaken above quoted spot in my last post.

[Cerberus1981]

In about 40 runs I've seen:

[b]Ank Dedda x 3
[b]Gur Asted
[b]Kan Yu
[b]Sweet Death
[b]Svaltus Sword
Bullet PP Save

I've only got an Ank Dedda and a Sweet Death so far.

I've been hunting an Asted for the best part of 4 months and to see it finally drop and go to a techer was frustrating. This game nees to throw me a bone soon or Sega can stick their $10 a month up their arse.

[Powder Keg]

I've seen plenty of things drop thus far, but I definitely wouldn't expect it to be anything close to 1up. However, you can get some better things than 1up here, except maybe Gaozoran rods...

[pikachief]

i think i've gotten more S ranks in the past 3 days than i've gotten in all of 1up cup! lol XD

Winter Festa

3 Hyper Vipers, Crea doubles, Halarod, 2 Meteor Cannons, huge cutter, Sweet death, ank dedda, giga/bllet PP Save, 6 Burn resist....

1up Cup

4 Meteor Cannons, 2 crimsons, Halarod, Mungrunruk, 2 har / quicks 6 Baji-senbas, 4 Orpa-senbas...

Yup I've gotten more in the past 3 days than i got all of 1up cup! lolololol

Also i gave away a hyper viper then failed a meteor cannon and hyper viper >.< (hopefully the 3rd one will make http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

I've done runs nearly nonstop since 3:00 PST Friday. So far, I've seen:

-[B] Huge Cutter (went to me)
-[B] Ank Dedda x4 (1 went to me)
-[B] Deva-zashi x2 (1 went to me)
-[B] Daiga-misaki (went to me)
-[B] Pyscho Wand (...didn't go to me http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif)
-[B] Uransara (went to me)
-About 15 Burn/Resists (2 went to me)
-About 7 Poison/Resists (1 went to me)
-2x Sleep/Resist (1 went to me)
-[B] Crea Doubles (went to me, but it was for a good friend of mine)
-2x Giga/Bullet PP Save (1 went to me)
-About 15 Catiliums (about 6 went to me)

So really, it all is based on your luck. Be diligent, it will pay off in spades.

EDIT: Cerebrus, where'd that Asted drop?

Well at least you actually fucking SEE stuff drop.

[Neith]

Er, yeah. Mark me down on the 'rares aren't dropping for me' list.

I've seen:
1x [B] Hyper Viper (Went to someone else)
2x [B] Ank Dedda (Both went to someone else)
1x Burn / Resist (I got, but I already had 3 anyway >_>)
1x Shock / Resist (not bad, but common anyway)
1x [B] Daiga-Misaki (Already had one, so I gave it away).

Of course, the run after I leave the party, a [B] Svaltus Sword drops. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

I'm not even trying for rares now, I'd rather wait for when we get v1 boss drops made easier. May as well just use this event for EXP, and hope for the best, heh.

[AZKlegend]

I have gotten Gigga / Bullet PP Save
stun or shock / resist
burn / resist
thats it and now they are not worth much

Also, look the price on Ank Deddas.
They used to be pretty rare and now they are worth
3 milj in stores..lol might as well keep it if you find it cause i sure am.

[Kylie]

In one day - probably seven runs -, I got three boards and like four catilium.

So I'd say that's just bad luck. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[TheAlphaMale]

I found a [B] Svaltus that I don't need. Uh, [B] Uransara, with no need, along with a [B] Halarod. More or less about it. Oh and 2 [B] Crea Doubles, one of which I gave away because the kid would not shut up.

[xiuying]

disclaimer: didn't really read all posts in this thread, just skimmed it

i was having a lot more luck on friday (and to a lesser extent, yesterday) than i am today. i'm not talking about boards, i just mean things like getting mot ash and mot ebon instead of mot walna, stelnium instead of catilium, berries instead of scape dolls, etc.

i dunno if it's just me but it always seems like the drop rate for any new mission is always best on the first day and then tails off a bit for the next few days. i always put it down to the increased number of people running the new mission on the first day of availability and therefore more stuff dropping, but with these increased drop rates it's very noticeable that better quality stuff was dropping on friday than it is today, both days when, of course, i had 3* luck

i've been doing lots and lots of runs (over 50 now) so it's not like i'm talking about 2 catiliums dropped friday and none today... i have a large sample space. has anyone else ever felt they noticed this

[Mikura]

It's just luck. I wouldn't worry about drops so much. Just take advantage of the exp and MP and if you get anything, consider it a bonus to the other rewards.

[gryphonvii]

yeah, if you don't get anything you can 1) cry, 2) pretend it didn't drop, or 3) take solace in that they will probably fail the synth anyways
