View Full Version : Hidden Section IDs?

Just a thought, but it seems to me that something (maybe your ID number or something) is affecting the drops of rares and things just like in PSO. For example, that kid ho says his dad found 6 fluorescent bulb boards in one LL C run, whereas for me, after probably 20 C rank LL runs for one reason or another, still (until now) didn't even know they were a drop yet. All my friends I play with also get drastically different drop than me when playing solo or in other groups, even with the small amount of items in the game as in. Anyone else notice?

I sort of doubt there is a section ID hidden influence, since there'd be a wider spread in finds and therefore more speculation about the possibility of hidden section IDs long before now - but who knows really.

I do know I ran way WAY more than 20 Linear C runs when I first started out, since I knew no better place to go really at that time, and found 3 Flourescent Bulb boards. I've been running a ton of Relics for meseta to power my PMs and have since found 5 Relic Edges. My hunch just tells me you need to run an order of magnitude significantly higher than 20 to get 1, let a lone 6, Flourescent Bulb boards. If you ran 200, for example, and got none, I might begin to wonder myself.

Seriously...I get no meseta and crap items, while my friend charlie (>_<) gets rares and money like nobody's business.

seriously though, if you want rares or good stuffz, you gotta do relics or dragon B or higher, any lower than B is practically no chance, i know tht relics and dragon missions get boring after a while, but thats why you take breaks in between, or you can try to solo a C-rank mission, thats how i usually get my rares

There's also the luck, don't forget (stars next to player's name, picked every day based on race/gender)...

Oh yeh, and it may seem like everyone else gets rares but you, but the fact of the matter is, no one is going to advertise how much they didn't find, so naturally it's going to seem like they get a lot more stuff they actually do.

Yes, there are hidden section ID's. ...Sadly, there are only two of them:

Craplenum - which gives you no meseta and crap items.

OMGria - which gives rares and money like nobody's business.


...Sounds like you got Craplenum. You should strongly consider re-rolling. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/pandaroll.gif

Welp lastnight and the day before i had been doing nothing but farming.

The day before i had two rappys pop in the LL area, one dropped a feather the other dropped about 400 meseta. Lastnight my friend and i were farming [Duoing overlord C area] for farm items and bang two more rappies popped. Both dropped feathers http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif. Also lastnight a vahra claw dropped.

This was all without luck. I seriously spent the last three days farming for items to craft/feed my PM/upgrade weapons.

Dunno what to tell you; friends have told me that people that they have randomly partied with havent seen a rappy in 40 Lvs of play.

I've done over 50 De Ragan runs. In that time, haven't seen a single Rappy or tail. Have friends have done about the same amount, one has seen 2 Rappys that didn't drop anything, but still no one has seen a De Ragan Tail.

I still have yet to play on a day when female newmans have 2 luck. If I get nothing that day, I'm giving up all hope.

I've seen Rappys once and Dragon Tails 3 times. I didn't get any of the tails though.

I've only ran into rappys once and I ran into 6 in SW. 2 dropped feathers and I think 3 dropped gold. I was most excited that they doled out 90+ xp! So in 80+ hours, I have had only one rare creature encounter, but it was a nice one.

Are you calling me kid ho? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Well yeah it's true. My dad did in one run and some more goodies. It hurts too http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif I don't get that kind of stuff at all. I think maybe numbers do have somekind of effect. I don't see how he got 2 rappy feathers 6 florsent bulbs, 2 linear lines, and some other stuff in one full FF C run. That's just nutz.

LOL @ Craplenum & OMGria. It's actually kind of true. =p
As long as you keep getting some meseta, though, it's not too bad. Shops help out the Craplenums a bit.

I bumped into my first rappy swarm today at level 33 doing a Sleeping Warriors B run. Nice XP at 136 each, without the kill bonus. Only one of the four dropped a feather, two dropped nothing and the last droped a Sol Atomizer.

With reguards to the luck thing, if I'm lucky can I see the stars or can only other people see them? I usually have my name/level label up, but I can't remember ever seeing any...

If you have your name or name/level up, you'd see the stars there.

There are no words to express how much I effing love Craplenum. It could possibly be the greatest thing I've ever read.

I had an odd expierence with rappies a few days ago. I was playing Sleeping Warriors C (Relics) and 3 straight runs found 3 rappies in the deadend. Human with no luck at the time.

As far as relic edges I've done lots of runs without getting one, and in 1 run with a group of 6 doing rank B mission 2 dropped, I was leader of the group with no luck again.
