XBox: Only Leader has to be legit?

[mempf]

Does only the leader need to be legit in order to find rares or does everyone?

[Arislan]

If one person in an XBox game is either stacking or using a 13xx mag, no rares will be found.

If the leader is using PSO + for GC, and someone in the party (including the leader) stacks or uses 13xx Mags, no rares will be found.

sorry to correct you arislan, but on xbox, if the leader isn't using a hacked mag and/or stacking, the team will in fact find rares... this I have experienced.. (I don't use hacked items at all and sometimes cheaters come in and play and I have found rares numerous times whie they have been there.)

So it's the same leader thing as Plus then, eh? Happy to be corrected, causes me not to spew out incorrect data in the future.

Drop rates don't reduce at all on the Xbox version. I know this,because I found a room to level up in,and the leader was testing his mod chip. He was using a white Saber(those dummied weapon graphics),doing so much damage,but we still found a couple of those annoying 9-star rares with no percents.

Besides,sometimes my unlegit characters are the leaders and I still find craploads of rares. Of course,I leave them for any legitimate players to grab. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

For the last blanking time, the ONLY things that affect the drop rates are Item Stacking and 1308 Mags. Nothing else.

That's interesting, because someone over on GameFAQs did some experimenting with 13xx Mags, stacking and altering the game code governing rare drops.
Basically, everything was dropping red boxes, until he equipped his 13xx Mag or stacked. But after ten or so runs he found one red box.
If this is to be believed, 13xx Mags and stacking multiply the drop rate, making rares impossibly harder to find.
