Kasami bracer

[Kristin]

Ok,I've killed over 1000 nano dragons with my bluefull looking for this thing. I've gotten 2 red partisans,7 PDs,2 gae bolgs,over 30 silence claws and gained 13 lvls. I know heyfools guide says chances are 1/1800 or so but this seems a bit ridiculous. Has anyone else experienced the same kind of luck with this item? Should I give up and start looking for a standstill shield from ult seabed with my skyly?

err, only 2 Gae Bolgs ????
and you must mean Silence Claws.
I suggest you keep it up, especially if you are online and have access to IS.
Standstill from Skyly, you're nuts X_x

[Kristin]

You're right,it is silence claws. What is IS and why would I be nuts to go after standstill shield with my skyly?

I'd look for a Standstill Shield. Better yet, alternate what you're looking for. Switch off characters every now and then; I can never play the same character for more than 20 hours without playing a different one. Maybe that's why I can't level up fast enough.

i had to kill about 1100 nanos before i got it (tht was back when i was offline only) it is one of the best shield/barrier items in the game. i believe that it is second best but i don't know. after you get it go find a standstill.

I usually do addicting food quest and go through the first few rooms only. I restart the quest after the room with 6 nanos in it for a total of eight chances. Would it be possible that my chances are better playing through the whole quest?

its possible i never go though a whole quest on ult if it has a rare ememy in FIY (67 Pal Rappys and still no god damned Agtio 1975!)

According to my calculations, a Kasami Bracer from a Bluefull Nano Dragon is a 1/1862 average drop rate (1/1024 base item rarity, 55% drop-anything from a Nano Dragon). It's not an impossible drop, but it is a fairly difficult one. And since there aren't a whole lot of Nano Dragons, that just makes it worse. If you have a Redria (or even a Yellowboze, but that drop is slightly lower than on Redria), I'd suggest trying to get it from a Sinow Blue instead. Even the Purplenum drop off a Canabin would be better, since Canabins are so prolific.

Should I give up and start looking for a standstill shield from ult seabed with my skyly?

The Dolmolm Standstill drop would be even harder than the Kasami Bracer off a Nano Dragon. Granted there's more Dolmolms than Nano Dragons, you also have to consider that the Seabed is exponentially more difficult than the Cave. Personally, I like the Kasami Bracer better (looks cooler, adds 35 ATP, high DFP, really high EVP, great resistances). Unfortunately, rangers can't use the Kasami, but they can use the Standstill. If you're intent on a shield just for a HU, I'd say stick with the Kasami. If you want one both HUs and RAs can use, the Standstill would be more versatile. But I would also suggest using a Viridia character to hunt the Standstill off a Temple Mil Lily. You'll probably find yourself a lot less frustrated that way.

I'd say just do some more addicting food or soul of a blacksmith with your bluefull. I wasn't even looking for my kasami, and frankly, didn't even know it was a drop on that ID. Came when I least expected it. Its a fantastic shield and worth the hunt. You'll level when you look and invariably find other rares too.

Kasumi would be my choice as well. I'm going for the purpleum drop which is better. But to get though mines easy with my ramarl i need a spread needle. Which means i need to kill Chao bringers with my redria force. Who needs more hp to suvive attacks. Which means my skyly hucast is gonna have to kill some lilys on vh mode. Man lifes complex. ;p
