View Full Version : Item drops on line and off. Does it matter?

The reason i ask is because i've been hunting for a few weeks now with my FOnewarl in the heat sword quest, looking for 2 items, the real agito,(I know it's hard to find, so i understand why i haven't found it yet.) and the star stone. (what you need to make the twinkle star.) Now i undertand that Tallows are stingy, and the real agito is rare, so i understand why i've not seen it in the weeks i've looked, and the litterly hundreds i've killed, but the star stone throws me.

Hiltits are very commen in HS, which is were i hunt, and almost always drop something, but i've killed hundreds of them things and nada... (i've went from lvl 101 to lvl 117 doing only this quest...) I didn't think it was that hard to find, but when i got to thinking about it, i haven't hardly found ANY rares.

In her first few runs in off line forst, Vinny's found 2 red scropos, 3 customs frames, and a ton of useless spreads. (finil impact, metor smash, ect.) I didn't spend a lot of time in off line forset, cause I was hunting for a red sword in the caves,(haven't found IT yet either, but i'm leveling a skyly, figre it'll be easier to find on her...) so i'd say maybe 10 - 15 runs at best got me that stuff. But i take her online, and have done a TON more runs in it, and i think i've found a finil impact off the dragon twice, and that's it as far as red boxes go...

Does being online / offline have anything to do with drops? Is the star stone really THAT rare, or i'm i just really unlucky?

Star Amplifier.

Drop rates are same off and online. Online is only favorable since certain quests have a lot of certain monsters (like Mop Up #1 and HS w/ Tollaw)

We all have a string of bad luck.

Yes indeed, if not for bad luck, i'd have no luck at all... Hmm.

Ok, Team, since you seem to be an all knowing orical of pso information, i'll just as you this.

I know which id's drop what. But i don't know which id's are most effective at finding an item. Case in point.

I was hunting a stag curry (long time ago, i might add.) with my Oran Hucast. I was hunting the slimes for a week or better, never found one. My kid brother gave me a spare of his, so i stoped hunting them. I level up my Fonewm, who's pinkel, and to the fake in yellow quest, looking for a real agito, and guess what? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Well, I learn from that experince that all section id's don't dorp the same rare it's at the same rate. (Which i always understood, but this real life example really drove it home for me.)

Thus begain my quest to have workable lvl 80+s charters in all the class id's, so i can, in theroy, hunt for any rare i want. This is where i stand. (yes i'm board at work. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Hucast EX - 731 - oran 125 (first creation and flag ship char.)

Fonewarl Vindel - Vrindia 117 (my personal Fav to play. My top force.)

Fonewm Sai - pinkel 80
Humar Rurouni - redra 75
Fomarl Diana - greenil 50
Fomar - Axel purplumen - 30

Hucassel - Koissi (forgot exect spelling..) sklyly - 30
Racast Raven - yellowbonz - 25

I don't really have anything set in stone for whitetill and Bluefull... Thinking a HOnewarl, and a RAmarl... but anyway, that's were i stand with Char's.

This is what i'm looking for.

Real Agito
False Agito with most potentual power. Forget the year.
Auska
Parstion of Lighting
Red Sword
Twin Brand
C-sorcer's arm
The androide only parstion.
Sange and Yanshi
Monkey King bar..

God units, all of them. Mainly Arms, Legs, and God Battle.

Armor. Good Armor.
Stand Still Shield
Elector Frame.
Guard Wav.
Tripodic Shiled.

Color Amp's. Spificaly red and Blue. Already have yellow, but a spare would be nice, seeing as how i have 4 Fo's.

Ok, now if you get board anytime soon, or just enjoy sharing your vast knowlage, which of my id's and char combonations find what the best/most often/most plentful? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Which two chareters would you recomend for my last 2 id's, bluefull and Whitetill?

Any help you can give is apprecatied. I understand if you don't have time to answer the full question in it's entirty, people are busy. (i normaly am, but today is really quite for some reason...)

Forgive the spelling. I know it's bad. But belive me, it's gotten better over the years, if you can belive it. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

the android only partisan is called the berdysh.

and i dont think it does matter if online or offline. i got my agito from a pinkal i had after 14 pal rappies in fake in yellow.
got my star amp from the same enemy in oran.

my quandry is this- why do canabins drop only photon dropa for purplenum offline? i want my kasami bracer.
that and my parts of baranz, ruby bullet and yasminkov 2000h. cant tell you how many spaceship runs i made liiking for the yas 2000h and came up empty handed.

i got a ruby bullet my VERY FIRST time beating the UTL Mines bose.. (i'm very bad with names, if you can't tell http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif) With Vindel, no less. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Sad part is my only ranger is not strong (or accurete i guess..) to use it yet. I'm not much of a ranger fan, althought i love my racast, more for his look/role play aspect than accual game play. I'm i the only weirdo that thinks up back storys/plot lines to my creations? All my guys tie together somehow in this great big fantasy/ongoing monolog inside my head as i play... it adds some life to the game for me. Besides, if your going to excape reality for an hours or so, might as well go all the way i say. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Anyway. Just thought i'd add that in. Still slow here at work...

This is just how I would look for those items in question:

Real Agito (PINKAL)
False Agito with most potential power. Forget the year. (dunno)
Auska (REDRIA, online, Ice Spinner)
Parstion of Lighting (PINKAL*)
Red Sword (SKYLY)
Twin Brand (ORAN)
C-sorcer's arm (doesn't matter)
BERDYSH (PINKAL)
Sange and Yasha (both from SKYLY)
Monkey King bar.. (REDRIA*)

God units, all of them. Mainly Arms, Legs, and God Battle.

Armor. Good Armor. (AURA = ORAN, BC = REDRIA, LUM = PINKAL, STINK/PARASITE/VIRUS = GREENNILL, DF = REDRIA)
Stand Still Shield (VIRIDIA, Mil)
Elector Frame. (REDRIA)
Guard Wav. (GREENNILL, Pal)
Tripodic Shiled. (ORAN, use CCA door glitch online)

I don't keep track of amp find, so am not qualified to recommend an id/area.

* Means that you could find both by taking the suicide route in Max Attack 2, but... I don't recommend anyone under level 120 try that - 130 if going solo.

I'd recommend HUnewearl for one of the characters. Quite simply because: Best solo = Best item hunter.
