View Full Version : Rare Hunter's Dream Come True (personal Story)

Alright I know this may sound crazy but this actually happened.

I am a huge fanatic of hunting for specific rares relentlessly especially on True Darkness, but not for the money but just to find them. Now heres what happened, I was around lvl 80 and hunting for BB's and of course ive found like around 9 or so total at this point, and then I thought to myself "I need to set myself a goal" course my goal was set high since ive found all the small fry S ranks so far after trying again and again. I set my eyes on Agito repca, so I worked my ass off to quickly reach lvl 85 and finally I reached it. That was about a 4 days agowhen I thought of this goal.

(Present)

Alright first day today as a lvl 85 began around 8:00 AM(woke up early for no reason). I did a few Plains overlord missions with some random people to just level up some spells, but after a while I got bored and a friend finally showed up on my card list. I called in my friend and of course he was happy to go with me on True Darkness S2. I of course was completely bent on not dying to not make my first run ever through there a bad one. (>>;;) We started off normaly in the 5th uni just going through it as usual after I found the rare map and around the end of the 1st block someone else joined that we didnt even know, but I really didnt care at the moment since I just wanted to get through the level atleast once. My friend and I continued to walk through until the very last bit of block 1 where something had litteraly caused my heart to jump against my chest. I had saw the words [b] Agito Repca 12* run on the right side of my screen with my name by its side. First I thought I misread it for the agito edge and I went to look at my matierials and saw the board was there. I was pretty much in complete disbelief that I had found it on my first run through S2, then of course things began to go sour quickly.

The random person who had joined earlier was one of the typical assholes that like to ruin things for everyone. He began to harass me as we continued the level all the way up to 3 switch door of block 2. He threatened to get me banned and kickd off of PSU if I didn't give him the board saying he knew Mods and some other clearly false statements. Well long story short(got carried away heh ^^;) I booted him and he waited outside for me, but of course I just ran to my room and sat down and msged all my friends.

:D

You can not believe how happy I was today when I found that, that was supposed to be my mountain to climb, but of course that didn't take long for some reason...... anyway anyone got anything else they can suggest for me to find? I really want a challenge! Oh and if you actually bothered to read my whole story thank you.

Congrats on your find. And to the a-hole who tried to ruin it for you... well, there's a ditch somewhere with his name on it.

See? If PSU can still make someone's day, then its worth fighting for. That's how I see it.

Once again, congrats and good luck with synthing that bad boy.

Wow, people are funny. "I know mods, you're gonna get banned for getting an item I want." Funny stuff. Grats on your find though, hopefully that isn't the last "mountain" you climb. :wacko:

Maybe I'm reading this wrong now...If you're being sarcastic, disregard this, but that's a load of BS (no offense). There is no rare version of any boss (mini-bosses like svaltuses, yes, but not actual bosses like the magas, de ragan, etc.). Also, there's nothing you can do in the mission to change the drop rate of a boss box drop (luck doesn't affect it either). Unfortunately, you just have to keep doing it until it drops.

More on topic, Congrats on the repca board! I've personally never seen one drop, but I usually don't do hive missions much. Probably the closest thing I had to your experience was back in February. I was hunting a rattlesnake for a while and got one to drop after 40 some runs, so I start synthing it. Later that night, I pull it out and...Neptuline. :(The next day I start hunting again and got another rattlesnake board on my 3rd run! I was all excited and thought there was no way it could fail twice like this, right? I pull it out whenever it finishes and...okiku doll. :( It pretty much sucked after the fact, but it was fun when I found them. :-D

This reminds me, I should do another one of my "scatter hunts" where I just go around and do one run at various missions where valuable things drop. Nothing that good has come out of it yet, but I've only done it like twice so idk. Gives me something to do anyway.

Ohh extremely lucky man. Shame that the stranger got crazy..itīs sad lol.
I mean, he canīt expect that when he join a random party that they will handover the rare to you..how greedy and selfish isnīt that lol.

Anyway..congratulation!

Ugh well good for you...all my rare hunts are at best nightmare trials. When the halarod first came out it wouldn't drop for me...yet I knew tons of people with 6. Even with firebreak I only got one board...which failed. I eventualy had to buy one when the price dropped to the 500k range. Dori's are the same story...hunt, hunt, hunt...saw two the entire time hunting for them and they went to diffrent people...I eventualy bought mine at 3mil. Tesbra is the only force rare so far I havn't had to buy...I got the board just after MAG ended from a rycross run with some friends...Happy as I was I plan to wait for the syth boost in hopes the I DON'T have to buy this particular rare. Uransara...well to be fair I think its ugly so I never vested much time in it..Gao rods...forget it...kazarod and rodic...nope sorry. I'm sure everyone knows my issue with the P wands by now wither you've heard of me or not so I'm not even going to get into that one. The cycle goes on and on.

So for the most part I'm destined to have to be happy with A ranks as they will be the most unique items I'll ever have.

Congrats! Awesome find! You are really lucky!!!

I was hunting that for two weeks straight 12-15 hours a day and only found 1 or 2 Agito Edges.

Actually, I'm still hunting it but I guess it just doesn't like me. :(

As for the guy that threatened you, next time grab his GC number and screenshot him saying that if you can and report him for abuse.

I had a similar thing with drops happen to me once, told a GM (friend of mine) about it and he asked me right away for the person's GC number and to PM him the chatlog as he didn't want people like that in PSU. *LOL BAMHAMMAH!!!*

Anyways congrats again, I hope you pull out a 42%+ and grind it to at least 7/10!
