View Full Version : The next set of SH AQs is coming...

Is anyone hoping that at least some of the 11s weapons from SH AQs will be super rare? I was kind of disappointed with this batch of AQs - nothing that drops there is particularly uncommon, and it feels like there isn't really anything to work towards. It would be nice if there were at least a few uncommon 11s with a slight edge over common ones to balance out the trash ones so people actually have a motivation to run AQ...

If so, it'll be the rares in the Sky AQ. Sky always seems to get the hyper uber-rare stuff every time there's an update to its drop tables.

Long as that one Katana I saw has a shitty latent and isn't stronger then I'll be fine but it has Judgement and is stronger than the rock bear one well....also skylands will be my playground for Susano hunting people will be spamming that area.

I think the only goal to achieve out of that

obtain the 30 11* twin daggers or mech guns or whatever you need to 50 element your more expensive falz/TD 11*.

lol


Lol at how 360 the community has gone. I remember back in the day...

"rare drop rate is horrible! rares don't exist!"

Now it's

"god damn, 11* are way too common"

How dare sega actually listen to us after 2 years of retardedly high drop-rates!
Honestly, I've said it before but this is so, so god dam amusing it hurts my sides.

Semi rare drops from AQs? we already have them. But not being 1/100000 and not worth 100mill doesn't count, i suppose right?

Ehh people want to stroke those epeens pretty hard I see. Doesn't matter if some don't get them in the new SH AQ's people will just buy them and your precious rare that you found still wont be common so all that is irrelevant.

Says you. I enjoy SH AQ because I might actually see something interesting drop that's not a fucking 7*.

I witnessed my friend who exclusively uses Double Sabers get the 11* one in Desert on her 2nd run through it and it was satisfying both to me and her to see that drop (She was stuck with Dio Spiritia at the time). She's a fan of Wise Stance so watching her reaction to the latent was even more pleasing.

If this still worked like VH AQ we'd just be seeing 200 blue double sabers over the course of 7 months before it would drop, and by then there'd be 12* double sabers or something which were the new standard.

EDIT:

Ugh!

Dark Falz Elder drops the most amount of Meseta next to Mesetan. He's very much not poor.

Rakurai
Mar 25, 2014, 01:00 AM
Wonder how long it'll be before they release some TMGs better the ones available from the current SHAQs. They'd have to have a really good latent to be worth consideration, and I really doubt the ones being released in the next set of AQs will be worth it at all.

That or they could finally release a set of TMGs with high T-ATK on them. FO/GU could actually be decent assuming that you can abuse S-Roll Bonus with techs that have a travel time like Na/Il Foie.

I think the high drop rates should be kept as-is... or boosted even higher.

Zipzo
Mar 25, 2014, 06:13 AM
I think people's idea of the drop rates are over inflated from boost week. I seriously have only received a total of 3 11* weapons and I have run a looooot of AQs, meanwhile folks I know who have gotten none, and other folks I know have passes out the hoohah.

It's just RNG.

Started running SH AQs after couple days into boost week. Up till this day I've found ~30x 11* weapons. Droprate for 11*s is very high, atleast off trash mobs. I haven't found nowhere near all of 11*s there are, but that's why there is a premium.

Shinamori
Mar 25, 2014, 06:49 AM
Yeah it's RNG. I ran 4 forest SHAQs sunday and I gor about 3-4 11*, 1 of which I was using an 250%, the other 3 was just using the 50% RDR boost at the time. I don't think the drop rate is that high. It's just that people spammed SHAQs so much that it seemed high.

Saffran
Mar 25, 2014, 06:58 AM
I dunno, one AQ forest, one 11 stars.
Since I'm actually too poor to keep up with girnding affxing stuff, I can't say I'm too excited about *more* easy 11 stars to be obtained.
And at the same time I'm glad they do drop, because my gear is outdated...
It's very bizarre.

RadiantLegend
Mar 25, 2014, 07:26 AM
I'm fine with the drop rates. Seeing one 11* every few runs is satisfying.

jooozek
Mar 25, 2014, 07:42 AM
even if you compare it to tower defense the drop rates are really great
i've got like 51 11* passes now and also sold few weapons, including 2x 50 element desert shaq twin mechs
i don't care if all but few of those are worthless, they are almost all good and have nice requirements like defense ones, don't even need x-attack mags to equip good shit
what is there to bitch about? you are capped, you can do the SHAQs then you very well bloody deserve the drop rates

Yeah, just the other day I got four 11*s and two Holy Rays from SHAQ Forest.

Sad that the only thing you can do with them is make passes since I don't have 11* daggers or knuckles that I want to 50%. They're next to useless if you're not planning on equipping them.

At least my Light 3s Holy Ray sold for 250k, though!

Maninbluejumpsuit
Mar 25, 2014, 11:21 AM
I just wonder if Susano's will get cheaper.

White day is still on for today.

SHAQ F cont is coming tomorrow.

Boost week is over, so most anyone that wanted a pimped susano got one and affixed it during that week, so they're selling slower=more time for people to undercut each other in stupid intervals.

Then there's the known-unknown in the form of new SHAQ katanas.

Yes, as hard as it is even for me to believe, susanos will get even cheaper within the week.



Slightly less relevant factors; We're going to get a bio katana eventually. TD2 has a katana, but most likely has the -17% pp cost potential, and most likely wont make up for the damage loss of not having judgement time through pure s atk advantage.

As I've said.

I just said that was slightly less relevant facter sine we don't know exactly when we're getting 51-60 oceanids XQ floors. It would most likely after susano drops to less than 10mil.


Normal Quartz does too, I think, yeah.


Correct. Both quartz and cryss drop susano

I think the issue lately is "shit, i already maxed all my character's levels and have my rares. what do I do now?"

Most people on my team either got all the gear they need until the next difficulty increase or are waiting for a specific rare to come out. The drop rate is pretty great for non premium users, but even then the fully affixed 10* trade ins are pretty good as well since they already come at 50 element

This is my point.

Now that the 11s weapons are the "to have" weapons, what is there to work towards in this game? 15m or less is absolute chump change, and that's probably the most expensive you'd pay for a top tier weapon now.

I miss the days of when top-tier stuff cost 100m+.

Why don't you just buy it?

I mean, if you don't have the meseta to buy it immediately on release, I understand. You can just wait a few days for prices to hover down a little.

Shinamori
Mar 25, 2014, 12:42 PM
I personally love to buy the 11* ZRA TMGs, but I don't have premium. Though honestly, I wouldn't spend over 10~12mil on a weapon. I bought a Ran Glitter for 1mil, and I found 1 within 2 days. -_-

Not that I don't have meseta for top tier weps (I dumped 106mil on my Susano :wacko:), but some of us like to actually hunt things in this game... that's kind of been one of the pastimes I enjoy doing with Phantasy Star since GameCube.

ShinMaruku

Out of curiosity, for those that like the current 11-star drop rates, did you ever play the DC or GC PSO games? I understand w/ content being updated regularly, rarity can change, but from what I read on the internet, the drop rates still seemed way better than definitely the DC, and in a lot of cases the GC.

Also seems there's lots of desirable 10-stars (Susano) that don't drop nearly as much as the 11-stars. Just my observation.

milranduil
Mar 25, 2014, 09:20 PM
I could hunt spread needle in a few days spamming ULT EN4 (ruins) from Merlans at a 1/900 drop rate. ~35 runs on average per drop. Meanwhile I've killed 1300+ quartz and never gotten a susano after months. I think that speaks for itself right there.

Edit: We could throw in Pwand, HPunisher, Sealed J-Sword if you like. Pwand/Hpunisher were 1/213 from Mil Lily (Purplenum) & Hildetorr (Bluefull?) which were annoying but still huntable. 1/213 is a BETTER drop rate than the VH/SH rare enemies in PSO2 by a long shot for essentially outdated equipment now (Diez Liu for example). Sealed J-Sword, yes that was a bitch to hunt. You had basically no choice but to do PW4 first few floor spam to hunt that and its dull. But that is ONE item unlike PSO2s essentially entire SH arsenal of equips that have equivalent or worse drop rates.

The Susano was the 10-star I was referencing above. ;)

I did Heat Sword Forest 1 700 times, and never got a Hang Gun: Milla. :( That might be what turned me off from the game. There's tons of other brutal drops. 1/213 is a good drop rate but the rare enemy rate in PSO is shit unless you use the Ryuka trick. Now THAT was dull.

Admittedly I've not been playing PSO2 long. I'm basing my findings on getting 11-stars relatively easily in SHAQs. How many items are there in the Susano tier? That is, highly desired and rarely drop?

I guess PSO2's "awful" drop rates never got close to the DCs, which sucked balls. The other thing here that changes everything is the ease of buying from shops. Trading on the GC even was quite cumbersome. Totally required forums, and tons of actual work.

PSOBB had more efficient methods for hunting rare enemies (online quests, for example). It was still dull, but not seemingly impossible like hunting anything in this game.

I could hunt spread needle in a few days spamming ULT EN4 (ruins) from Merlans at a 1/900 drop rate. ~35 runs on average per drop. Meanwhile I've killed 1300+ quartz and never gotten a susano after months. I think that speaks for itself right there.

Edit: We could throw in Pwand, HPunisher, Sealed J-Sword if you like. Pwand/Hpunisher were 1/213 from Mil Lily (Purplenum) & Hildetorr (Bluefull?) which were annoying but still huntable. 1/213 is a BETTER drop rate than the VH/SH rare enemies in PSO2 by a long shot for essentially outdated equipment now (Diez Liu for example). Sealed J-Sword, yes that was a bitch to hunt. You had basically no choice but to do PW4 first few floor spam to hunt that and its dull. But that is ONE item unlike PSO2s essentially entire SH arsenal of equips that have equivalent or worse drop rates.

*ahem

I'm sorry, you actually found a Sealed J Sword?

I never found anything in PSO of such value. Ever.

I never bothered hunting that because I didn't play a Hunter besides HUcast (Red Sword + Excalibur for that job). I did find Agito 1975 (same rarity as Lavis Cannon), ironically from a Tollaw while leveling my umpteenth char through TTF. Also found a Psycho Wand which my FOnewm never let out of his grasp (still plows through existence on a special server :wacko:).

It was better in a few ways, definitely. Some, not so much.

I'm not trying to play devil's advocate, just generally wondering. Seems Sonic Team's stance on drops changed a few times, with the DC being atrocious, the GC being tolerable on some things (but still tough), them getting a bit easier to hunt, with more options, on BB, and then Episode IV's drop rates going to shit... and half the items being total turds. :D

milranduil
Mar 25, 2014, 10:41 PM
They later fixed Ep4 drops to be as reasonable as Ep1/2 rates. Some stuff, like Lame D'argent/Excalibur actually became rarer, but deservedly so. It was 1/21 from a 1/10 chance rare boss so it wasn't that difficult to hunt before the drop changes.

Call me ol'e fashioned but I was under the impression that if you traded for one of these it was just a dupe, as the existence of these in legitimate form was either so decisively rare or non-existent even (the community couldn't even agree on the theories of how to unlock the SJS, I remember at least 5 different ones).

I was a HUnewearl and the rarest things I ever found (and used forever until the game died) was a Flowen Sword model AUW84 that I teched to 35% hit. The one that drains TP for damage. It was so leet. I found a Sacred Cloth that became my favorite armor to wear due to the resistance to paralysis, and aside from that pretty much every other quality item I used I had to trade for.

It was established that you needed 23k kill hits to unlock the sword a while ago (PSOBB days). Lame D'argent needed 10k and Limiter (unit) needed to 20k.

Ra's have low atp, the needle has low atp, the damage is even when zerking low as fuck compared to the damage output of a hucast. Let's not forget the ability to one shot every single enemy with a combo locked DF.

Sup stonecutter,

You did well poor player. Well in admitting how racast sucks. Let's take a look at the not updated Record list:

https://sites.google.com/site/psobbrecords/ultmode

[SPOILER-BOX]Maximum Attack 4th Stage -4C- (MA4C EP4)

1) 21:29 (remaining) mt79607 (HUct), 16085k (FOnm), Alukard (HUmr), 500ryu (HUct) 2013-09-15

2) 21:23 (remaining) Brandon (HUct), Joey (FOnm), iter (RAct), Dyne (HUct) 2012-09-24

3) 21:00 (remaining) mt79607 (RAct), Revision (HUct), Alukard (HUmr), DGM (FOnl) 2012-08-13[/SPOILER-BOX]

seems like that casual racast run isn't even in the list. And that list isn't even updated, there is a unlisted run that is alot faster than those and has Fo+Hucast only :)

also:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIkI-7wMoD8

16'17 with 4way PB ( Lvl 81 Shifta/deband) on 3x racasts and a ramarl vs

[SPOILER] 1) 16:35 (remaining) Revision (HUct), mt79607 (HUct), 16085k (FOml), Alukard (HUct)

which is a fo+3x hucasts no pb run ( lvl 30 shifta/deband for the uninformed poor players). DAMN RACAST IS DA BEST.

O wait, look at this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FRwNDL3J1Q

16'33 4way PB (again this is level 81 shifta and deband, highest S/D available) run on RA only (3x Ract, 1x ramar )


This must be unbeatable, because ract etc....o wait

Ever heard of natural selection? Proving this with links from a more recent time supports my statement even further. RAcast proved to be alot slower than HUcast. Guess why the current ta'ers don't use racasts? Everyone of us has fully geared racasts. Everyone among us is aware that hucast is by far better. There is another reason why they didn't use hucast: Because they sucked at hunter. Ra is way easier to play and their high hit donation gear has a greater impact on ra than on hu.

I'll keep it short:

Multi-target dmg on ra is low and slow. Further more it increases the probability of damage cancel, because everyone hits the same fucking monster.

HUcast outdamages racast in multi target and single target. There is nothing that a hucast can't combo kill ( A hucast can kill anything in a combo besides Girtablulu. That requires level 81 S/D)

RAcast might have further range, but standing on a spot while killing isn't favourable when you have to move to the next room. HUcast is closer to the next room/spawn, also his attack animations move him forward.


I have nearly all PSOBB records, if you want to prove me wrong, beat me.

Edit: Adios again, poor player

Btw, idk what you are talking about. It's not barely, there is a 1 1/2 min difference in Ma4c pb ep4. No pb vs pb 20s difference is alot in ep2 lol. And two people beating 4 people with a lower shifta level by 20seconds is also alot lmao

Hi, I'm the best Ranger in PSO1 history. RAcast/RA is useless. HUcast is far and away the best character in the game, all versions. This supremacy only got more extreme with Blue Burst. You linked very low level gameplay by modern standards, if you want me to elaborate I can but I'm afraid the nuance of the game will fall on deaf ears if you're not able to grasp why the gameplay in this video is bad. I'll explain some basics I suppose:
CA instead of BL on enemies... Not enough damage, hits more targets so more DMC
Slow switches... All modern players have more accurate switches and don't "Grifter" (use CA) single enemies
Bad Planning... See modern runs

I could go on and on if you want, but those are just a few of the things.
