Yellowboze = higher hit % finds?

[chibiLegolas]

The other day, I've heard that Yellowboze has a higher chance of finding weapons with hit %.

I've rechecked the faqs & searched the forums, but find no sign of this being reported.

It would of been nice to have other benefit of having a Yellowboze other than finding more meseta, and the possibility of droping:
Yellowboze DB's Sword (AUW 3075)
Yellowboze Flowen's Sword (AUW-3084)
Yellowboze Yellowboze Card

But is there any reason why a person would make a Yellowboze other than more meseta and the 3 specific rares mentioned above?

Sorry if this topic was already addressed. I couldn't find such a thread for any answers.

Yelloboze finds larger amounts of Meseta in Meseta drops. (From what I remember reading).
Yellowboze also has "Finds all body parts" attribute XP
And, yeah, Yellowboze has a slightly higher chance of Episode 2 Hit percentage.

Only in Episode 2, odds of hit in Ep2 are 1% on all IDs except Yellowboze where it's 3%

[Bu5ta]

Yes and to add to Kef's comment. I believe the 3% is on all difficulties as well.

Yellowboze EP2:
Normal 3%
Hard 3%
Very Hard 3%
Ultimate 3%

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Tycho]

Kef and Bu5ta are right. Also, Boze has nice PW3 drops. It's the place to hunt Zanba (with hit), Yasminkov 7000V (with hit), Hito with hit, and Yellowboze Card... With hit? Okay, maybe without. It's still a popular Seabed ID, for a good reason.

Cool beans! So I guess my new Yellowboze is a keeper. As long as I stick to EpII games.

Thanks guys.
Out of curiosity, how long ago did this tid bit been known? I've been playing pso for 5 years (though epII hasn't been out that long), and I some how missed this fact.

Someone actually took a look in the game's coding receintly to find this out and it's not a rumor?
Were did this info come from?
Like I said before, I coudn't find this info listed anywere in the faqs. Unless I missed them somehow.

Open "Photon attributes attachment rates.xls" and click the Yellowboze tab.

This has been known for one year and a half, I'd say.
