Starting in 20 minutes for 24 hours! Goodluck to all with finding that rare you want!

For me I will be spamming tundra with team mates in hopes to get twin brand!

P.S. I will feel stupid if I was wrong on the timing but it's suppose to be midnight japan in 18 min now? so 50% should begin here EST time at 11:00am (thursday)

you mean gl not finding anything as usual? lol. I doubt 50% drop rate will do much, but lol sounds good for stones in exq and aq. so thats something.

Today's the day everyone goes ham with 250% Drop and 100% Tri-boosters, lol.

Still.....RNG would give you nothing more than grinders and red weapons most of the time.

I think 50% RDR rate will do a lot. 50% RDR over 24 hours is pretty significant. . . I think the reason drop rate boosters are so useless most of the time is their limited time (although they still most definitely work if you stack them high during something like an exit burst, although it's still probable you won't find anything lmao).

just did 1 run of desert aq... and WAY more rares dropped for everyone. mostly red's im sure but i also got 76 stones and 28 A-caps lol. regardless I will take 50% rare all day! I still like getting ??? weapons :) just cause that odd tek may be a 10*

I once had a triboost + rare ticket boost + team tree rare boost going at the same time in a +78 Tundra Advanced Quest. No one can say they don't work after I picked up twenty *7s.

Try using 250% rare ticket + 100% tri + lucky rise + rare up on drink + tree boost.. with todays 50%

Now that would be epic

Dat 0.10 rare chance

you know.. has anyone actually proven how the drop % actually is? if this is like PSO style with a 1/10000 then giving yourself a 400% boost is basically making it 1/2500 chance.

And my best guess is the system is a 1/xxx rng style. thus if it was set 1/1000 and the rare number is 568, with a rare boost say 400% = 4 times less the max number put in so now its 250 numbers with rare number say 165. you have a much better chance at getting that rare number. There is real code behind rng. and just makes sense the rare boost would work like this.

Best way to guess rates is number of finds along with rarity of the enemy in question in comparison to other rares and their target drop. Basically, if one 10* had 1000+ drops logged, you can usually expect it to be pretty reasonable. Anything between 100-200 is pretty damn hard to get and anything below that, you might as well kill yourself.

Wow, I'm jealous ;_;" Congrats!

Tried my luck as well with 250% and 100% tri booster and I got about 30 rares in one Ruins AQ run. Some 9* Twin Mech, 10 untekked ones which were only junk and the rest red weapons except for one. Amaterasu was the only good thing in that huge pile of red crap lol

Each grind costed 12,500 meseta and 4 grinders. Then I bought 8 grind risk protect (around 230k each), 2 grind success +10% (around 320k each) and 1 grind success +20% (770k). After I +10 it, left 1 grind success +10% and 1 grind success +20%, and 3 grind risk protect. Close to 300 grinders spent too (and I cant remember the number of grind risk +1 used). This one hits grind risk -3 when going to +7, and for +10 it's -4

-4, seriously? I mean, at the very least you're pretty much required to use full protects, but what the hell man. If this still stays around by the time 11*'s become the norm, I quit.

Good thing the price of full protect dropped quite a lot compared to last time (was 1m+ each last time)

not as good as a proper 2s affix, but it does have RDR (though he's got the Vraolet for that)

Need to see the distributions of results to see if it's that bad.

Currently, for 10*'s, there's a chance of going down -3 from a grind, but the most common result by far is going down -1. That's what makes a +1 protection more cost-effective for a full protection for 10* weapons at the moment.

Without estimates for the distribution of succeeding, failing with -0, -1, -2, -3, -4, it's not quite knowable how expensive it is to take up a 12* weapon yet. Because they're currently still rare, there isn't enough data on grinding to know that well either.

If/when 11*+ weapons become the norm, there will at least be a volume of data collected so that there's at least some idea of how to minimize costs on average.

Guess I'll save up more boosters for next week. All I got from 250%+100% boosters were reds, Latria Rain, and a Dahgash Talis after 20-30 ruins runs.

Oh I guess I got an 11* unit from XQ. But I can't sell those. :(

I did 80 floors of Forest and Dragons XQ with some friends, using 250% rare drop tickets + 50/100% Tri-boost + Lucky Rise set + Lv 7 Rare Drop Tree Buff...aaaaand what did I find?

Just a stupid 11* unit for Rangers/Gunners I cant even use....oh yeah, and around 600 first tier stones and 8 second tier. The fuckton of pyro weapons I got do not count, because they are cheap as fuck atm.

At least I got rid of that bunch of cubes I had rotting in my storage >_>
