frantzx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Got Acerbatus last night! I ran with a group of 6 for the first time. Maybe playing solo reduces the drop rate. Leveled it up to 8, its a nice glyph to have. My kid and I will be after those boots and knuckles tonight. Its nice having 2 360's. I always have a partner.

LufianGuy Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) 450 runs, only seen 5 sonic boots drop and I didn't get one (all my friends have theirs). This is so fake because on gamefaqs people said it takes about 100 runs to get sonic boots. Its like Simon's Cloak 2.0, took me way too long to get my 1st Simon's Cloak. Just missing sonic boots. I'm so tired of watching newbs who don't contribute at all to the run and just screw around somewhere on the map getting the rares. Looks like Konami's new rare drop formula is to: 1. DON'T BE PRO, BE A NEWB (be happy Konami is nice enough to give skeletons rares, they shouldn't) 2. Never enter the boss room 3. Get hit multiple times 4. Sit and happily wait on a far end of the map for the only rare that drops. Also getting tired of me 90% soloing beezelbub for about 5-6 runs and then telling the party all yours on a run which causes them all to quit. All the rare formulas are out the window if you are a pro, newbs are in. Edited January 21, 2011 by LufianGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Herb Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 ^Sound harsh man and it does seem chapter 9's rare drops are way less frequent than any other chapter, can I just ask whats Simons Cloak 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LufianGuy Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I am harsh because I am very ticked off, but what I say is true. Sorry didn't mean to confuse, it just took me way longer than it took everyone else to get my first Simon's Cloak (200 runs). That is what I meant by Simon's Cloak 2.0. I have soloed a lot too with no luck. How would you feel when you play for too long with no luck while people not even close to being as good as you get them? I'm about to give up and hope sonic boots are a drop in the next two stages, they should be with this horrible a drop rate. Hopefully Konami makes them easy to get like winged boots (maxed those out on ch 8 trying to get my simon's cloak) and valmanways. I have talked to many other people who have played this game since the start and everyone agrees the newbs are being rewarded better than the pros and that is a losing formula for all pros and Konami also if Konami even cares.

frantzx Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 ^ agreed. It seems all the new items in Ch.9 have a lower drop rate than any other item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The5thCylon Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 There is no way Acerbatus is only a 1 * on rarity. That is total BS. Venus broach also come from the boss chest. I've seen a few dozen of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few dozen of them. It's been stated many times before, but this game plays tricks on you. It's like 1*/2* items that seem to be as rare as some 5* items.

parn0289 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 This game is pure luck i've been kiilling my self to get a valmanway and it just won't happen but on my first run of this stage as alucard i got alucard sword +1 first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xkyojinxpandax Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 As Frankenstein once said " Bogus!" and that's exactly what chapter 9 is. I did 20 runs with alucard and got alucard sword +1. then did 150 with Shanoa and I still don't have 1 pair of Sonic Boots... PS -First sentence is a Monster Squad reference.

kandykidzero Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've done 100 runs with shanoa so far and still nothing on the Sonic Boots, only thing i have seen drop that is good for anyone else is a KK+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xkyojinxpandax Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have the secret to getting 4/5* items. First, you MUST start late. Then once your team is half way to the boss, then proceed to the nearest green chest, that's where all the great items are. After you've aqcuired precious, get killed by the all mighty flea/hunchback. Only then will you have high enough luck for rare items. I keep switching back to SoTN because I see the said person either dead or haven't touch a button for that run getting sonic boots/AS+1/KK+1/souls/etc...

DeadKill616 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 All I keep getting from Ch.9 Boss Chest with Soma is: God's Garb Benta Raiment Black Cloak Kris Naga Final Sword Paludamentum Demon's Mail No luck getting his Soul and the other rare items, so far I've done 23 runs.

Dark-Raven-77 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Don't expect anything after 23 runs. I obtained my 2nd miser ring after 520 Astarte-kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I know that, but remember, you get any rare item at random. Could be your first run or your 1,000 run. I was just stating my experience.

Xkyojinxpandax Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've been Shanoa running with a Yoko and Alucard. We got it down on average beat in 2:18. He finally got Alucard Sword +1 (took him around 500 tries) and now I stand at 290 runs with no Sonic Boots. I'm happy and sad Ch.11 doesn't have Sonic Boots in purple chests... back to grinding.
