Does nothing drop there? L105+... you'd think something good would! On B those armed servants drop 6* longbow so I imagine higher rank longbows may drop there to? It took 49 minutes but I manged ta solo it (as a GT that don't even got Killer Shot) and got nice monies and a Diad (that I got no use for). I guess the enemies can be pretty annoying but still. It's quick mission at only 2 blocks! Have people just become lazy due to lobby warping or is this just the usual mob mentality at work o.o?

Meh, everyone wants the boss drops from Altera.

Robots and the player-esque enemies are annoying.

There's barely anything there, even on S.

As you can see, the only thing there worth a damn is the Hirokteri board, and the Shinowa Line. I'm not one to downplay 9* boards, but really, not a single one of those is worthwhile.

I thought Diads were worth stuff? Maybe they're going for < 650k for no reason. -_-?

I know White Beast drops some okay stuff to and I'm not saying to abandon that and spam SS but geez~ pretty lame to skip an incredibly short mission out of laziness.

Diads drop more often on WBS

I can only speak for the 360 version, but right now there is a bug with robots that causes the game to lag and stutter horribly. As a result a lot of players are avoiding that level until they fix it.

Diads drop on White Beast as well though, along with other more worthwhile drops. SS isn't being skipped out of laziness. It simply offers very little of worth that can't be found elsewhere.

I like the mission personally, I've run it quite a few times. Drops there have a really good drop rate aswell, I've gotten every single S drop listed on the wiki except for the 9* axe board. It's rare to do a run and not have at least one board or weapon drop.

I've spammed White Beast like hell and got a Togeha-zashi, raikasobrac board, a suffad, and a bunch of other shit, but I've never seen any diads drop there.

Shinowaline would be the only reason for me to "farm" at Sacred Stream.

If it wasn't for the 360 slowdown, I'd be running that mission to farm for Orta-mats. There are many more opportunities to get them on this run than on any other that are currently released.

Those freaking badass boss robots. They are just cruel... I share some bad memories of them...

I do sacred stream for resin and polymer, but I have to reset my xbox every three runs or so because of the extreme slowdown (xbox360).

The shinowa line is nice for its extra slot, +3 STA, and high EVA. Take a group of gunners, techers, and a protranser. Use killer shot and razonde on the robots. Use boma maga, ice traps, and (ra)megid on the shinowa. This mission shouldn't be that tough with 2-4 people.

As for armor, you will face every element. That's the real challenge: choosing your poison. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Edit: A ground or dark vish adac works nicely on the humanoids.

360 here too. Lag is real bad in block two. But I WIPO say that even with my under developed killer shot and lvl 20 razonde robot go down fast. I would do it more if not for the lag issue.

I farm it for Shinowalines. Made a 50% dark and a 28% light so far. It also has all of the YC 9 star gun boards, which are a nice addition for a GT/FG, and countless Ortapolymers which sell pretty easily. Not that big on S ranks though.

It's really easy to solo as GT. The enemies are pushovers with decent bullet levels, light armor, and Killer Shot.

Yeah, almost too easy. If anything it's a good mission for amassing trade fodder.

Lucky x_X I didn't find any boards though I was only through it once. I hate soloing though...

Is it really neccessary for a GT to have Killer Shot? Frozen & Burning took long enough to level up and I don't even got 'em at 30 yet!

Well, have fun killing robots really slowly by any other means. Killer Shot honestly didn't take me more than a couple days to get past 21, and no I wasn't playing constantly.

The best part about that stage is that once every 5 runs or so you get another rifle board and 2 out of 3 of those will work. The 9 star YC rifle is the ultimate GT killer shot spam gun.

My pallet of Falgohohs was replaced with a pallet of whatever the 9 star is called after the first day.
