I've ran White Beast somewhere in the vicinity of 50 times or so. I've played it so much I no longer get White Ball of Deathy Sleep'd at all. And yet, running it with friends (Who had +2 luck) and random pubs, I've never once seen Serafi-senba board drop.

Not one.

Does it exist? I'm beginning to doubt it. It's a rumor. Has to be. I'm not going crazy.

All I found in all my White Beast S runs so far is a couple of made Togehas, and one Sanzu. So, just resign yourself to being one of the unlucky people.

The board of serafi-senba exist. It just dropped 2 runs ago.....PC/PS2 if you are wondering.

I got 2 total from White Beast. I'd say it's all luck since I've never seen any other boards besides serafi-senbas..

I saw one drop and go to a guy who didn't know what it was, made me angry and depressed, don't know why, this was on 360

All i have seen was countless Togehas-zashies and 2 [b] Yamata Misaki, and only got 1 of the Togehas-zashis.

It's all luck...I've seen a few Sanzus, Togehas, and the other day I finally saw a Yamata-misaki board fall. Never seen a Serafi-senba in the many runs I've done...maybe I'm just not meant to have it, much less even see it drop.

i have seen it drops two time already. i got one of the board, but it ended up failing anyways and the other board drops to another person. The drop rate for it isn't super high, so you need to keep on trying, ok?

The only time I ever saw one, it was in a party of friends, and I had called the board just for shits cuz i dont want anything else from there, and when it dropped i FREAKED out, was totally unexpected. Not only that, but when I made it, it came out as a 50% Ice neptuline!

Yeah mine came out pretty decent, 32% ice, which I flipped for 28 mil on the 360 servers.

Never saw a Serafi or Sanzu.

I've seen about 2 or 3 Serafi-Senba boards drop before, though I never got them, and I tend to spam that mission like crazy, lol. I just wish those stupid little Jaggo Amures would drop something besides "WD40's." >_<

Yeah, it exists, the pics of the board in a PM on PSOW are of my PM.

From my experience, Alteraz is a stingy boss. I got a lot of stuff from him in the first couple of days of White Beast (Serafi-senba 1st run, Sanzu-hiken a few runs later). I've been hunting Yamata-Misaki though, and have I seen one drop? No.

I've had a few Sanzu-hikens, but yeah, it's pretty random. Just keep running- Serafi-senba does exist.

I was doing a random party, and I decided to be kind and keep it open. Needless to say, it dropped (that an 11 star dropped in a party I was in was suprissing enough) unfortunatly, it went to one of the random people who joined.

ST has a predetermined luck plan for everyone. Debate it all you want, but I think its there and its hidden. Certain people get certain drops easier than other people, while some are harder.

Take me for example, I've found some ebrozikes, fraudukes, mizurakihohs, uransaras. I've never found a Vish Adan, Vish Adac, Dori, Coni, Huge Cutter, Crimson, among other cheaper rares, but some people say they're pretty common. I found Hirokteri, Rikauteri, and Psycho wand without any problem, but anything else....I can't seem to find whatsoever.

I've seen the Sanzu, Yamata, and whatever else drops there more than once most likely...still haven't seen the Serafi though.

I like how in days/weeks you think you aren't "meant" to have it. Yeah, right.

Running WB however many times I've run it, I've seen the following drop:

one serafi senba board
three yamata-misaki boards
two sanzu-hikens
two togeha-zashis

I'm sure I've run it way more than fifty times.

Boards? S-ranks? You guys are mis-spelling NEU ASH AND SPERAL pretty hardcore there.

Oh wait, I got a 9% light Sanzu Hiken there.

Needs more Note Seeds.

Though in a few of the last random runs I joined in I saw a Yamata-Misaki and Serafi-Senba board drop.

XD

Me and 2 friends just yesterday 03-19-2008 while looking for Jaos found serafi Senba XD . only took 3 runs and we got it.

Although another friend trying to find a Serafi Senba as a gift found it three times but it went to 2 randoms over the course of 2 days. The third as a gift FAILED to Synth of course thank you Sega.

So yes the serafi senba [b] exists. =/ Just keep hunting for jaos and you'll eventually get it.

I had never heard of the thing when I got the drop a while back, and the synth was successful (36% dark). It wasn't until random people starting drooling that I realized I had something special.

I guess it adds a little credence to the belief that good things only come to people that aren't looking for them.

I've farmed 3. I'm 2/3 on synths.

I've ended up having to trade for the Serafi boards I have, can't seem to get them to drop for me. Only one I need now is a Ground Serafi, others came out 14% Lightning, 30% Fire, 30% Ice, 30% Light and 42% Dark http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif no failures yet.

It'll drop but it will take awhile just keep rerunning the mission till it drops. If it doesn't just take a break and then play again. Or you can try Forest Infiltration.

I'm going to agree with this one. I never find ANYTHING. <_<; I've found maybe a total of eight S-ranks (Storm, Kan Yu, Gudda Skela, Muktengek, Huge Cutter, Okanoh, Raikasobra, and Sweet Death) since this game came out, and all but the Skela were post-AOI.

Not to mention they were all random; I've never hunted anything successfully, no matter how many runs were involved.
