Something is up with the temple mils.
I used a Oran FOnewearl to try and get some Aura Fields. Took 9 mils to get one. 7 mils after that, I still didn't get a second one.

My brother went to temple with a HUnewearl looking for a Windmill off of mils. I believe he's up to about 14 or so mils. No Windmill.

[SJ]

gah ur so unlucky...
I've had 5 mils....and 2 auras http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Dana]

how unlucky...i found 2 windmills form mills but it look 2 torrs to get a berdysh and 1 torr for the god/power(i need to get that)but thats all drop rates for you....there is a chance of never getting one...it's all chance

[DJKMAC2]

Well number 16 none still lol ): ya this has to be some realy bad luck or something i hear about friends having dozens of aura fields lol and cant even get 1, hope i dont have a bug or something, thinking about clearing everything out of the char, cause the one im using isnt legit, has some hacked items and stuff />: or maybe fomars are just bad luck? , lol, well back to temple runs _._"

[PJ]

Took me 9 Mils for my Windmill... 5 in Purplenum, 3 in Pinkal and 1 in Redria. Although I'm happy for it, I say blagh to 9 Mils.

Of course, it took me 5 Torrs for my Frozen Shooter, and 3 Torrs for my Berdysh. *teh shrug*

[Dillon]

It took me about..10 Pal Rappies (Forest, Redria ID..I'm pretty sure) to get my Red Handgun.

[strongmad89]

There must be something up with the temple drops. I only got one rare EVER and it was a double saber... of course that was 18 barba rays later....

Hey DJKMAC2. I'm still not sold on the idea that "it's been proven that hacked items do not affect drop rates," as has been quoted to me on numerous occassions. The only "proof" I've yet to see is very, very rarely someone with hacked stuff on finds a rare. I've been keeping track of my games for the past several weeks and I've noticed that every game I'm playing with 100% legit players, the red boxes drop fairly regularly - about 3 or 4 or so an hour is about what I've been seeing. In games where I know there is a hacked mag/item, I've seen maybe 2 or 3 rare drops in hundreds of hours (I have over 400 hours on my lead guy and around 100 hours in 3 or 4 other chars). I'm playing xbox and I don't know if that's any different than gamecube regarding this issue. If anyone knows a link or site that addresses this issue and can put it to rest for me one way or another, I would appreciate it.

the secret is to kill them before they kill themself try freeze traps.

[Jarek]

Hmm...I think you just have bad luck.
I got my Aura Field in 2 lilys, right on average.

Lilys killing themselves has no effect on drop rates.

do not try to spread false information.

[DJKMAC2]

erm # 17 none, im realy worried that the first 5 lillys in offline temple might be either bugged, cause i dont think the hack items i have arent the problem cause when i unlocked ultimate offline i found a couple rares on the way. I mean i know i have bad luck but 17 lillys on a 1/2 drop??? thats realy pushin it, tonight gonna try a dif a room or maybe temple 2 to see if my luck changes =.=

Go eat a bowl of Lucky Charms before you murder the next Mil Lily. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Dragon_Ash]

heh, a lot of people seem to be having a ot of bad luck with temple lilies... it took me 2 lilies to get my first aura, then the two i met after droppeds auras too.... and aso for teh windmill, I found two mils, the first dropping a low % one and the second dropping a 45% (something) can't remember windmill http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

It's just down to luck... I only ever piped the first aura field.... and never bothered with piping another or the windmill.... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Jason]

To some it took 50+ Mil Lilies to drop a rare of an 1/2 chance. Don't be discouraged.

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't have much experience on 1/2 dropcounts, but from what I heard they can be stingy.

-I got a Heart of Poumn from my only Love Rappy.
-I didn't get a FS from my only Hildetorr.

I actually didn't get a Bravace from the first Al Rappy(who has 87.5% drop chance), but the 2nd, 3rd and I think also 4th did drop it for me http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif!!

I didn't see a Mil Lily yet...

[AngelAlys]

All I have to say on this matter is Purplenum + Mil Lilly = NO PYSCHO WAND FOR ME... wow it's been 6 months since I layed and I still had that inside me... and breathe out...!

I was looking over everyone's finds (and mine) and I was wondering... how do you ppl at PSOW come up with these percentages? Is there a certain mathematical equation you do? Because this does not seem right. Of course, I could be wrong. The 18 barba rays I had to kill may have been out of the 36 that the percentage was made off of. But... I'm still curious. Could somebody please tell me tell me how the percentages of finding rares are found?

[Kuea]

well the only place I know to find them is http://www.housoka.com/

[iamfanboy]

Strongmad:

The person who put up that website took apart the game's code, looked at it, pulled the percentage chances off the game itself, and then conveniently approxomated it into a 1/whatever chance.

Two different people did it, as far as I know, but I prefer housouka because it's more pessimistic. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[DJKMAC2]

ok its not happening lol, but i have a conclusion of what may be my problem, on xbox they have weapons with 127% on them, and im wonderin if that might be the problem, cause my fomar had a pair of LnKs with those %s in its bank, and i just tried to pipe a dum demo comet and 4 lillies and no demo, and he has 127s on him as well -.-, im guess im gonna try to get rid of my fomars stuff and try to pipe. But i know for fact normal rares are not affected, cause like i said i found a couple on the way there, like Bloody arts and such, just maybe rare creatures are affected? but yet again that doesnt realy sound right -.- and maybe its just my bad luck lol, im just realy wonderin whats up here.....
