i know this has been asked before, but im not at my usual pc and forum search takes ages.

im hunting merlans for a spread needle. is it worth quitting after ruins 2 or should I go on to ruins 3 as well. or maybe a quest would be better....

ive checked out the enemy counts but im still unsure.

what about your personal experience?

nope, depending on your map you meet quite a bunch of merlans in r3.

good luck

Always continue forth! even if you dont find what your looking for, still try and take on Dark Fallz and get the maximum EXP you can get for that one run! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I got one from a Purplenum Merlan. Took me 25-30 full Ruins runs. (Skipped Falz 75% of the time.) Good luck, once you get it you will love the weapon.

A friend wanted to see my twin brand, then i went to ruins 1 and in the first room the first merlan drooped the spread COOL!

yeh i worked out(using my extreme mathematics http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif) that id take me on average 15 full runs. considering i always go the quicker route, i think adding 2 runs is a good estimate. i also skip falz, i just cant be bothered. im a lv 127 ramarl so i guess its my bes source of exp till i get the damm needle.

*sigh* ive wanted it ever since i used an AR to obtain it on DC http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

hey, i was about 12 ok?

thanks to the well wishers(rena-ko et all)

I found my Spread Needle 2 days ago off a Greenill Merlan. I was doing Seek My Master runs in search of it. Luckily it only took me around 4-5 runs.

The funny thing was a Merlan dropped a PD first and then later on the same run a Merlan decided to drop that nice Spread.

You'll really enjoy using your Spread Needle once you find it. It's my favorite ranger weapon I have at the moment and is my rangers primary weapon. Just don't expect it to be anywhere as powerfull as it was in DC Ver. 1.

Funny... I found a Spread Needle on V2 about 3 days ago from Indi Belras. It had 35% hit. And I have to say, when th edamn thing actually hits the ennmies, it's quite cool. Of course, I only tested it on Darvants, but hey, any weapon that can clear Ultimate Darvants THAT fast is worth a little respect...


Anyway, the best method is to play until the last room. You can get up to 12 merlans in that one alone, so...
