GC: Finding Rares by Section ID is ridiculous - PSO-World.com Forums

Anyone know of a way to stop getting the same 1 or 2 rare items continuously? I currently have 12 Storm Wand Indra, 6 Ice Staff Dagon, and 6 Stag Cutlery. I would love to find some new rares. Fortunately there is some want for the stag cutlery online, but the others I can't even give away. I was hoping that someone might know a way to get out of the cycle. I have noticed that when I play multiplayer offline with some friends who are different section ids that afterward for a couple hrs/days I find different rare items than I normally do, and then it is back to the same old cycle. Does anyone else experience this?

I agree!

I want a stag cutlery. lol

I found so many ****** Bloody Arts....its like a monomate, but oh well.

Just keep going you will find what you want. Also if you dont want the common rares try to fight monsters that dont drop them.

You gotta do the pipe trick to get rare monsters to pop out the stuff that is VERY rare to your ID.

-Play a lot
-Level Up
-Keep playing the same area
-Rack up hours
-Take side routes (sometimes helps)
-Be friggin' patient and don't complain

For an answer as to why you find different rares with your friends online; if they create the game, their section ID is used to determine special item and rare drops.

I have about 11 or 12 Slicer of Assassins and I'm thinking of selling them.

The section ID used to calculate rares is, I'm fairly sure, based on whomever STARTS the game. So you'll keep getting the same ones if you start the game, but you'll get different ones if you join a game someone else started.

I had 10 Slicer Of Assassins saved up and decided to go online and get rid of them. No surprise....nobody wanted them. Now I'm able to tell if its a slicer by the ATP requirements...

This section ID thing is my main gripe with the game. This means that you have to make multiple characters to get the items you want. What makes it worse is that each monster now only drops ONE rare. Not a number of them, but ONE. That means section ID means a lot more than it did. And sadly enough some of the rare monsters (on top of being hard to find) drop crap. Why would an Al Rappy on VHard drop a damned Diska Of Liberator? What is the point of that? So it kinda of ruins the whole point of looking for rare enemies. I hope in the next installment they fix this, because it's just a tad silly.
