Weapons from enemies(Not just rare ones)[EXTRA MODE] - PSO-World.com Forums

In PSO after you killed most enemies many of them droped a weapon on a fairly regular basis but in PSU weapon drops seem to be fairly rare,and i'm not just talking about rare weapons,i mean even comman weapons are rarely droped by enemies,why do you think it is that even comman weapons are rarely found on dead enemies?

Seriously though. In PSO, even common weapons could come in vast varieties. There were several special effects, 5 different places for %s of differing values and more types of weapons. ...Well, I'm not sure about that last one, but I can't be bothered to go and count right now. Point is, a weapon could drop and it'd be feasible that you'd never find another one like it.

Here, in PSU, there are only so many different kinds of rapiers. You have 6 elements, and 15 possible % values. If they did program them to drop commonly and randomly, there'd be no point to the synthesis system they set up. Which, quite frankly, isn't that bad a thing if you ask me.

To keep people from getting good money & to encourage synth/trade.

There was a fuss about this before the game came out. Everyone was used to everything dropping (as you said) so it raised some curiosity that they were changing their ways. It was later made apparant that ST did it so that people would be encouraged to use their PMs to synth custom armors/weps and sell it to other players in their shops. If you could just find everything (even if neutral) like in PSO, out of enemy-drops, no one would be THAT inclined to buy from players unless the % was astronomical.

This did backfire on them.
No one buys anything ANYWAY (lowgrade) unless the percent is high, or they use the NPC shops. Their kruddy NPC buyback pricing is also another *encouragement* of player to sell to player, but it also wreaks havoc with the 'actual' (not haxeta infused) economy because there's no real good quick way to make a lot of dough. Also it phails when the population isn't too good (pc/ps2) for obvious reasons.

Weapons i have found...
A few SABERS&HANDGUNS(Liner Line)
And a few POWERGUNS(Ruins)
And a few SHOTGUNS(Moatoob)
also a BRAND(Parum)
also a DAGGER type weapon and a BOW class weapon(Neuiza)plus the TENGOH BOW.

They have all been C grade weapons(except the TENGOH BOW)...

But all this weapons represent over 500hrs of extra mode play and and are spread out over my 16 different characters saved on 4 different memory cards.

But there is a upside to this i guess,in PSO you could find a dozen sabers in a forest run an it wouldn't mean much but in PSU if i found even one saber i would call it a rare find,(and it's not even a rare weapon).Weird huh?

Why the hell would a monster keep sabers inside it's corpse?

Extra mode?xD
To answer your question: ..because it is not PSO.. but guess what? It is PSU!
Oh well.
Ah and, in extra mode it doesn't really matter if monsters drop their weps more often or not.
The ones they drop you can buy in the NPC shop anyways and the money they drop offline surely makes up for that purpose. xD
Bleh.. 40k meseta in 10 mins. <.<
And 3 capped chars in 1 week. -.-
