Can just kill an enemy and get a rare?

[Tizzakowack]

so i got a question. the main reason i liked PSO was for rare hunting. are all the rares u can get in PSU only S rank rares and u can only get them from beating a trial in a certain amount of time... is there a way u can just kill an enemy and get a rare from him randomly?

Yes, actually. You can.

S Rank just tends to be a special bonus IMHO (items, meseta, mission points)

I don't know the specifics just yet. I'm just waiting to get to 50 with my Force before I start testing.

The halloween rappies I believe just dropped a rare rod.

Other than that, most have to be synthed, thats not necessarily saying they're all s-rank. S-rank is a relative level of power. There are "rares" that are 3 star, there are "rares" that are 10 star. It all depends.

[Tizzakowack]

when do u start finding rares then?

You're clearly talking about story/extra mode, which is not comparable to network mode, so ignore all the responses so far.

The offline modes are intended to be a sort of caek-walk difficulty compared to online; I know of several enemies that drop "rares" (e.g. Tengohg Bow). These things would probably need to be synthed online.

so there is a chance that you can get a rare from every enemy?

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Not every enemy, but some of them, far as I can tell.

[Tizzakowack]

so pretty much this game is useless offline cuz it seems like that to me?

Yes, every enemy has a chance to drop a rare.

It's just like PSO, each enemy has a loot table it can drop, everything in that loot table has a different drop percentage. PSU has been adjusted though, at least so far, that it's not as rare-happy as PSO, and you're meant to really appreciate your rares a lot more. Later on, enemies will indeed drop S-Ranks, but that is a ways off. Synthing of course also will have plenty of these, but you'd have to find the synth board from an enemy, right? Same thing.

Hahaha, Tizzakowack I've been thinking the same thing about rares, since I'm stuck with offline only.

I'm starting to think once you reach 200 hours they'll finally start dropping rares. jk
