Festival card drop-rate changes - what have you found?

[Jazhara]

So far during the festival I have found the following new cards:

3x Lavis Cannon
3x Rag Rappy+
3x Hallo Rappy+
3x Piety
2x Charity+
2x Rich+

I already had some SS cards such as C-Bringer+, Guld Milla, but I have also seen those drop from packs over the festival period.

Has anyone found any other SS cards from packs (NOT from evolutions / card transforms) since last Tuesday's server update?

Ya i hardcored epi 3 for few days and found all those cards that you have,
they also increased the R1 cards so now i got a 2nd EVIL CURST!! of all S stuff ,,i get a weapon ai already have,,,doh!!!

[Nicktendonick]

I got a 2 El rappy and 1 Egg rappy, and 3 St. rappy, but no luck on anything else.

[Skorpius]

Charity+ and Piety, oh yay ;l
My friend got Dice Fever+ and Lavis Cannon, doing only 2 tournaments with me, while I did 6 tournaments and 5 games..

[Capricornus]

So far I found:

Lavis Cannon x2
Rag Rappy+ x2
Piety x1
Rich+ x3
Rush x1 (not sure if it is a festival drop or pure luck)

All these cards appeared in tournaments or battle tables while facing humans.

I did, additionally, something like 60+ Reiz bashing games for easy Srank in 2 turns (Im desperately looking for Hallo rappy+ and Charity+) but I never saw one of the Festival cards drop. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Can anyone confirm he already did find any of the cards above while doing solo Reiz bash, as I tend to believe you have no chance to find those while doing solo Reiz COM bashing.

Of all of them, I believe I the only one I found the FIRST of (i.e. New Card) while Reiz bashing was Piety, all others have come in a vs COM tourney except Charity+, which was found in a vs HUM tournament.

Since then I have found multiples of all of mine Reiz bashing (had about 10 Lavis lol), again except Charity+ - I have 2 of those now, one found in a HUM tourney and one found in 4P Battle Table (vs you and Vinny last night http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif).



*EDIT* - Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Had two successful R2 transforms into S today - my second Snail's Pace and GRANTS!!!!!

Very pleased. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Grats Jaz, awesome finds, I envy you.

According to your post you didnt find any Hallo+ or charity+ while Reiz bashing either
Alright, let me re-phrase my previous post a bit.

Did anyone find a Hallo Rappy+ or Charity+ while Reiz bashing solo?

If someone did, I might end up playing 5 hours straight Reiz bashing only tonight

On re-reading my last post, I see it's very unclear!

To clarify:

------------------

'New Card' finds, i.e. first of a type

4P HUM (tourney)
Charity+

4P HUM (battle table)
None

2P HUM vs COM (tourneys)
Lavis Cannon
Rag Rappy+
Hallo Rappy+

1P HUM vs COM
Rich+

1P Reiz bash
Piety
Grants (evolution from R2)



Multiples found, i.e. 2nd, 3rd or more of that type

4P HUM (tourney)
Rich+
Lavis Cannon
Hallo Rappy+

4P HUM (battle table)
Charity+
Lavis Cannon

2P HUM vs COM (tourneys)
Lavis Cannon
Rag Rappy+
Hallo Rappy+
Piety

1P HUM vs COM
Lavis Cannon
Guld Milla
Rag Rappy+
Hallo Rappy+
Piety

1P Reiz bash
Lavis Cannon
Guld Milla
Dark Meteor
Rag Rappy+
Hallo Rappy+
Chaos Bringer+
Piety
God's Whim
Charity+ (found a third this afternoon, since previous post)

------------------


All of which would suggest only multiples have a decent chance of dropping when Reiz bashing. However, when the festival first went up I did very little Reiz bashing (around 10 fights only) before playing lots and lots of 2P HUM vs COM tourneys with Ruma, which is where I got most of the 'new' cards from. It's only since others (well, Ruma) have got bored of the festival and play less I've resorted to Reiz bash.

I do think cards from tourneys are higher grade, i.e. you have a better chance of good cards. However, it also takes longer.

The best analagy I can think of is hunting MKB (or similar) in EpI&II - you can kill lots of Dolmolms very quickly, but with a small chance of the drop you want (Reiz bash in our case), or you can go after Merikles, with a much better chance of the drop but far fewer instances (tourneys in EpIII).

It's not quite like that, but hopefully you get what I mean.

On balance, and knowing how much you've been on tourneying the last week, I'd say the long Reiz bash session is well worth a try. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Thx a lot Ris, in that case Reiz bashing it will be http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Jazhara]

Well, the high-cost festival just welcomed me in with Rush, giving me 100% S rank cards, just SS to get.

I love this Festival!!!


Update - cards so far, after about 40 fights. Lists only cards that I needed, lots of other stuff has dropped:

S
2x Rush
2x Grants
2x Dark Bridge

SS
2x Heaven's Punisher (had about 4, i already had one)
Gibbles+
2x Epsilon



To Capricornus, some good and bad news - I have had Piety and Charity+ drop today, but I haven't seen Hallo+ all day and I was seeing it loads during the Rappy Festival.

I really hope it isn't gone... ><

Thats where I was afraid for:

rappy+ and Hallo+ belong to the rappy theme

Dark Bridge, HP, epsilon,.. belong to the high card theme

Assist cards dont belong to either of these themes

Good news is that I still can get my 100% assists but still, I will be sad for a while not having found (and prolly never being able to) the hallo rappy+ http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Tycho]

So um. At what C-levels did you people find all of the S and SS cards?
I would like to know if I have any chance of obtaining anything good before the festival ends... I'm level five now, maybe six. :/
