Level affect drop rate?

[s3rial_one]

I was curious... does anyone know whether or not your level affects your chance of getting a rare drop?

No.

You can make a ult run forest at lv 80 and get the same stuff doing it at lv 200.

eh, level can affect what rares are sold to you in the shop. After lvl 158 or something along those lines, the weapons shop for example will sell a lot of 9* items (not to say they won't sell those at say, lvl 90 etc)

If you think of it this way:

If a lvl 200 person starts a room and a lvl 80 joins, the rares will have the same probability of falling as a lvl 80 starting a room and a lvl 200 entering (assuming same beat time and ID)

Now if these same 2 players play at the same time for the same about of time with the same ID... chances are the lvl 200 will find more rares, even if they are in the same area(s) why? Just b/c the lvl 200 can probably clear more areas faster... then again, it's questionable how deathrates affect rare droppage. So...

heehee, I don't think that answered your question http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I agree with vanango answer, more complete than mine.

I was level 192 and I never had the option of buying RARES in shops, In DC after 150 you could buy RARES, not in GC and XBOX.

lvl 100+ - red photon(gatlings)
lvl 150+ - yellow photon(vulcans)

I have no idea what that lvl 100, lvl 150 crap you were writing about, but either way, if you get to a high enough lvl in the GC version of PSO (I can't speak for the DC version) then you can buy rare items in the shops. THey are 9 stars, yellow text, and in lower case. The higher the lvl generally the better % as well. In the items shop you can also find higher techniques as you get to higher lvls
