Do you think that there is any way of influencing the type of material that is dropped by enemies?

as a RAcast i kept getting lots of mind material and evade material, are they just common or are the types linked to your section ID?

As my current Human Ranger though, i'm getting a lot of material in the easier difficulties (when before it was mostly in the harder ones)

Lastly Why doesn't luck seem to influence items dropped in rareity?
why is it how much you play an area?

Luck is how often you get critical hits on enemies, i think...

Yeah... i think your right on that one, i got a lot of criticals at just under 50... but then i'm getting a fair amount with a luck 12 char... Guess if its that (i think it is) then it isn't much influence

I'm dunno if this is purely coincidental or not. I was using my lv80 something RAcast and joined a skyly room. When i checked the store, i found a Last Survivor w/ high % (30+). K, cool i think, except that my raCAST can't equip it. So i buy it anyway and sold it to a fellow player who was a HUmar. After playing for awhile, i went up through the tp and found another Survivor in the shop. This one too has a high %. It was even better than the previous one (I think it had 2 50+s). What luck! In the end, I had prolly bought about 4 different Survivors for my teammate. the weird thing is, he kept checking the store and could only find crappy ones. My theory is that since RAcast cant equip a sword, it has a higher chance of getting a good one. Anyone else here w/ similar experience?

Well 1st off icesenz I believe that is totally coincidental...pertaining to influencing finding rares and material, it is most likely totally random...to put in a circumstance that makes rares apear more often would have been more work for sega team. =)

About the Survivor being found in the store, whenever ya go up, yu have the ability to buy somewhat different stuff then the nex' guy. (Makes it difficult when I need trifluids n' my teammate can buy it but is messin' around n' says he won't...grrrrrr...) So it's good to ask yer teamsters what's available in 'their' shops.

Not exactly, but it *is* worth noting that as a HUCast, I found a Hell Striker with 25% to Machine and 40% to Dark, and a Demon Striker +5.

It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that I've never seen a Hell or Demon/Devil effect on one of MY weapons before...
