Ever ACTUALLY get an 'elite' 7* drop?

[Chaos Rappy]

Hm... I'm a bit unclear on which 7* rares are the "elite" or "ultra rare" ones, but I've been blessed with a Kouga Shuriken in the past. Other than that...not much. A no-element Gigas Romulus... 2-slot Rika's Suit... I got a couple of N-Tathlams pretty close to each other, but I don't know how sought-after those are. Most of the super rare weapons I have in my catalog have been borrowed, unfortunately. The ones I'm in possession of are the result of generous trades by people in the community. To give a sense of how long I've been playing, I just passed 50,000 kills not long ago.

Specifically, most of the ones I have listed here in my stickied Trade Board Assistance thread, on the PSZ Trading board:

Tier 5 - Super Rare
(RARES that are either only a handful of / are generally extremely hard to get)

***Ajax
**Akatsuki In
**Al Azif
**Big Hemera
**Big Mobius
**Canon Bleu
**Clair Doubles
**Emeraldfield
**Fuuma Shuriken
**Kouga Shuriken
**Lavis Kanon

**Phantasma Gauntlet
**Psycho Wand
**Rage Tonfa
**Rika's Claw
**Starlight
**Twin Psychoguns
**White Disaster
**Yasminkov M109
**Yonohate In

Though sometimes, the ones listed in Tier 4 are pretty "elite" in some cases, which are these:

Hm... Yeah, looks like my previous post was about right, then. I've gotten a number of the Tier 4 rares, but Kouga Shuriken is the only Tier 5 I've come across.

I've been playing Diablo 3 on PS3 for the past couple of weeks, and LOVING it. Got some decent drops early on, got VERY lucky in Whimsyshire (kind of sort of D3's Eternal Tower, in that very rare enemies can spawn there and there are exclusive drops and upped chances of rares).

I haven't given up on PS0, though--still TONS of stuff I want. I'll be going back to my two runs a night before sleep.

Of Chao's list, I've only gotten the Kouga Shuriken, Starlight, Al Azif, H44 Missouri, and most recently the Twin Psychoguns (among the t5 stuff).

These games are like crack to me--I get a kick out of looting theitems as opposed to trading for them (though I WILL trade, as I find nice gear in games like Diablo3 or formerly Everquest).

Oh kool

also, why do some weps have 3 asterisks in front of their name, instead of two?

Check out the thread he linked and look under the Item Value Index.

[Chaos Rappy]

In particular, these:

Item Value Index
Now, for what most people here will probably be coming to this topic multiple times for, is the Item Value Index, roughly and unbiasedly estimated item worth values by yours truly for the sake of giving the unskilled trading eyes the assistance they need to understand scams or scores. Here, you have every item here listed in alphabetical order in their respective values lists. These lists are, to the best of my ability, listed in as least biased of a way as possible by me, but being human, it’s not like I can’t make mistakes. If you feel an item is not where it belongs, feel free to tell me otherwise, and we can negotiate something out.

List Legend
* = Enemy part weapons and Tower-Only Items (if not “rare”)- For enemy part weapons, their %'s / element / PA have basically no effect on their overall value whatsoever, and to be honest, their original enemy part item is worth more than the weapon itself; in the case of both the Tower-Only Items and some/most enemy parts, they're common items that are sometimes treated as rares due to how they are found.

** = Rare - It is what it is: a rare weapon; element and/or PA comes standard on the weapon, and element cannot be changed on these ones, and they only sell for 10 meseta.

*** = Conditional Rare- Rare weapons that can come with a random element and/or PA when they are picked up, or no element and/or PA, however the element cannot be changed; no conditional rare can have Heaven element, however. They still sell for only 10 meseta, however, which is how you can tell them apart from common weapons. (When listing any conditional rares in your own trade topic(s) and/or posts, do not forget to mention its element, as it is the element it has that makes conditional rares special!)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EDIT REALLY LATE: This, of course, means good weapons with more asterisks are worth a lot more, objectively speaking. This is why Celeb Milias Breakers and other such things, like Zero weapons, were so sought after... *tightly grasps his Life Lv5 Zero weapon set*

Just dropped a third Psycho Wand last night. Made me think of this thread.
