Props. Best I've ever done is the starsword from the starmen and reloading a savestate after so many battles to avoid getting level 99 before the dream thing. Took a few hours. That was enough.

The last time I played FF4 on an emulator, I ended up just using game genie codes to get pink tails. I did get a legit Sword of Kings in Earthbound, though.

Korean MMO Drop rates. 0.000025% chance of habbening are disgusting

Its even worse in single player games. Online fine, making it rare is ok. but in a single player game its unforgivable.

super-low drop rates in single player RPGs are fine, none of the items are ever necessary, they're just supposed to be nifty bonuses

I know that feel.
Literally just did the part in Breath of Fire 3 where you get the Vinegar from the dude at the coffee shop at the well. I was scared shitless that it would take hours but I did that horribly designed minigame on my second try, and thats after my first attempt ended after I didn't mash triangle enough and pressed it 8 times. Felt pretty good about that.

It's 1/64 chance IF you get a drop. There's a 1/20 chance of an enemy dropping anything at all if I recall correctly, and if you get that it's a further 1/64 chance for it to be the Pink Tail.

>> No.1705391

Can we get a list of the rarest drops in /vr/ RPGs? This thread has me curious about all the weird shit.

>> No.1705396

I had a Crown drop on the tutorial map in Ogre Battle once, but it was my friend's copy of the game, at the end of my last semester in college, so I only got to play through like two maps and then never got to play again.

I've spent hours savestating trying to get a starter Crown again but it's never happened.

>> No.1705512

>>1705369
And you might not encounter a pink puff, so its like 1/2560?

>> No.1705546

>>1705512
That too. If you're not using the alarms it's also a 1/64 chance to encounter them in the first place.

So that's 16384 battles you need to fight on average just to get one tail?

I think that was a drop from three Redbones and three skeletons. or two skeletons and four redbones. or perhaps it was three skulls and three redbones in eblan cave. I don't quite remember but it sounds familiar.

looks like that's a common misconception and it's actually dropped by other things. You can get it from Ogres in the Magnet Cave. Pretty good for that early on!
