first relics run with greedy loot. I break two boxes and one item was in each. a guy came up behind me so I have to go for one. I choose the left one and I get nanosilica he picks the right one and get the relic edge. i started to pick the right one first. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

next relice run with a new group with set order loot. i'm a hunter and a head of the pack. i kill a mob and i see the red rare icon. no one is even close to me. i pick it up ad it's the relic edge and it goes to the guy that just got kubara wood the room before.

i have 4 kubara wood in my storage (PM)and had to buy all 4. the rarest thing i've ever gotten was a scape doll once at level 17 soloing. I'm lv 19 now. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

First attempt on getting my 5 star Hajirod wasted about 15k getting the mats I needed plus the stupid board itself. I came back from a party to see that it failed even though the chance was 56%.
The worst part was that the people I hung out with got THEIR 5 stars... WITH their 50-56% chance rates.

However, I just woke up to happiness and a completed Hajirod. ^_^

I haven't really had any bad luck yet. Actually, some bad luck tried to come my way but made things better. I was synthing a twin gun or something like that, it was a basic gun that wasn't worth much of anything. Anyways, it failed even though it had a huge chance of sucess. The PM said sorry and gave me the failed item and the item was a scape doll. Funny how the failed item turned out to be worth more then the item what would've come out of a successful synth.

I created a 5* saber. Went to grind it (w/ very high success rate) and it blow up. Using the same board, attempt to synth again, PM fails. Attempting my last one last night, tried to turn on my PS2, now it wont read the disc. Woe is me!

Right now, It's always been my worst luck. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif I haven't gotten a day in which Tynselle has had any sparklies next to her name. I guess her day will come soon enough.

However, I do find it a bit funny when certain people are looking to party, don't get immediately picked up, and they have the sparklies. Unless you're just plain afraid that they might be a bad player, pick those up if you can. Lucky days can be lucky for the entire party.

My worst luck is when my party members go right up to the enemy and kill it less than one second. I try hitting the targets but I can only get 1/3 of them.

Don't fret about that. Some do that and are inconsiderate, others are just still learning the ropes. In general, if you're one of the powerful ones, your job is generally to tag and allow everybody to share in the exp good-stuff. You mainly go all out if the area is tough and you want to keep everybody alive. But in those cases, the monsters are resilient and usually will not go down until everybody has had time to tag them.

As a Ranger, I generally go straight for tagging to soften them up, give time or watch the monsters to see who hit who, and then finish them off when I feel people have had time to get hits in.

The rarity of... rare drops is one of the reasons I play almost exclusively solo or with friends. I only tend to join up with random others if I get asked while I'm in a field. I definitely always lock my games when alone. Had a few S ranks screwed up at Neudaiz by random level 5 dorks joining and getting slaughtered. I don't know what I'd do if someone like that jacked a rare from me. >_>

I'll tell you one thing, though. Solo is the way to go if you want loot.

I have the worst luck. I got the game on Thursday played it for a bit before my cousin's plane got in that night. Today I dropped her off at the airport in the morning and since it was still 7 in the morning I had an hour and a half to kill before work and wanted to play for a bit. And then I got the red ring of doom on my XBox so I can't play until its fixed http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

4 fails on shadow breaker in a row at 80% and my bf asks me to make him a lance. First time not only do I make him a shadow lance when it was only 72%ish success, not only do I make it its 50% shadow elemental...

He asked me to make him 2star armor at 52% success...first time I make it. 3 fails making light brass knuckles.

The only good luck I've had for myself is when I asked someone else to make my ice calibur and when I made my own flourescent bulb at 52% first time success. The next day (today) I find another recipe for the dam thing.

Rappy sightings: 0/600-something PH kills
Vahra Claws: 0/800-something
De Ragan Tail: .5/40. Kind of mine, kind of a buddies. Saw two so far.
Tornado Throw: 0/??
Relic Edge: 0/??
Svaltus Edge: 0/30


I guess on a plus note I got a (B) Flourescent Bulb off a box at the end of [i]Fight for Food C[/b] when the SEED-Vance died. Totally wasn't expecting that. Now I need to find out what drops the circuit.

Note: Numbers are totally random, but I wouldn't be surprised if I really killed 800 or even a thousand Vahra.

I hadn't failed a single synth untill today, having no luck untill yesterday (1 luck) and today (2 luck) and wouldn't you know it today I fail 3 synths in a row on a 5* rifle. I'm gonna punt my PM. DID get to see 2 squads of rappies, have not gotten any items off bosses yet. A mixed bag of luck overall I'd say.
