Do you remember playing Dreamcast or Gamecube PSO offline, and never finding anything special? It's because we sucked at the time, did small damage, and didn't always play 4 player split screen. In PSOBB there are a few things that determines drop rates. Happy Hour, a player's efforts, and how many players are in a party. The more people in a party the better the chance of getting a drop. For example, Snipe and I were trying to find Three Seals with just us two recently, and wasn't getting it, so I invited 2 more people, and sure enough multiple ended up dropping. Soloing makes it even harder. But a good reason for that is the fact the game itself calculates each player's damage output. This is why Damage Parser exists even in PSO2 and other games. I wouldn't be playing PSO if it was based on Luck alone. That would make 0 sense. People think I'm crazy when I say DPS (Damage per second) makes a huge difference, but I just know my shit, because I pay attention to patterns. This is why DF special/HUcast is endgame. It's the highest damage per second possible when you strike a monster with Dark Flow special. What I'm trying to say is, play with full parties 4/4, and try to do more damage per second, and you'll get what you want in the end. PSO isn't a luck based game like many seem to think. I wouldn't even be playing PSO if that was the case, because my luck is trash. A player's effort counts. PSO2's coding is similar. I remember belonging to a team that used to be serious about damage output, and used damage parsers to determine who did what after every quest. Most games are like that.
