Most Impotant Question

Ok, who knows what determines the frequency that you find rare items at? I hear it's luck, ID, level and even the time! I just want to know, so I can coridinate my searches.

Ok Luck I know for sure is a myth. Luck stat only determines how often you get critical hits. ID determines what rares you find. Time is a factor and there are several theories as to how rares get dropped. Nobody really knows the truth as to the rare item cycle so all I can tell you is to play aften til you find rares and record the time (in beats).

re: Most Impotant Question

Well I explained the bit about time in a very old thread it's to do with the fact the randomize function is dependant on the internal clock so time does have a part to play but your will never be able to get teh exact clock pulse twice so no point on try times... ID certainly does affect the chances of find certain items and weapons. I'm not sure about level since I played lv 100 on version 1 for almost 100 hours and never got anythink better then a Dragon Slayer. Luck as PSOmaster says is just about crit hitting. Also some weapons have dependance on enemies for example a Delsaber Buster.

Yeah I think it is mostly the beats. I used to play in the 200-400 range and found lots of rares but then when ever i didnt i didnt find nething. SO I DUNNO!!!

re: Most Impotant Question

I think it's a combination of beats and section ID. Each ID, character, and beat time contribute to the items found.
