- Jan 27, 2013 9:21 pm GMTHello all!
When I played the US release it took a mere 3 hours of the 4-2 loop to get the Pure Bladestone. But after more than 60 hours on the Japanese release of nothing I cannot take it anymore.
So is there anyone out there willing to lend a Pure Bladestone or let me hold a +5 weapon? I am on the Japanese server. (Not sure if Japan and Asian servers are the same or not.)
Thanks in advance!
(And why in the world did they never patch this???)

Luck & LSOS doesn't increase rare drops. Just drops in general. And since BP's have 100% drop rate it's pointless. - Jan 28, 2013 4:57 am GMTThe JP&ASN servers are the same, and if my Internet was up, I could give you one. Sorry :-(

Add Me: Kartu91 - Feb 3, 2013 11:36 am GMTYeah, I have tried this with multiple characters with various luck stats and with and without LSoS. (I know the general consensus is that the LSoS doesn't help, but I had it equipped when I got the Pure on the US release.)
Will add you, thanks Kartu91!

Luck does actually increase rare drops. This is very easily observable when you compare the quality of items from a luck 7 to a higher luck. It's more than just the frequency. At a luck of 7 good luck getting better than half moon grass from a blue eyed knight. Up it to 15+ and you'll commonly get better stuff such as late moon grass, in addition to more frequently getting an item. And no the blue eyed knights drop table isn't isolated in this regard.

Maybe my memory was off. In a quick test of a few runs of the blue eyed knights just before the tower knight I saw a 50/50 rate of late moon and half moon on a 22 luck pwwt character and aabout a 75/25 of half moon and late moon on a 7 luck pbwt character. Not going to bother to look into it more though.

Hope you dont mind but I too am looking for a spare "Pure Bladestone" on the Asian version. Will send you an fr request if that is ok.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.
Z - Feb 17, 2013 10:53 pm GMTYeah, I am still looking too. Someone out there on the Japan/Asian servers has to have one of these!
And I am happy to just hold a level 5 bladestone modified weapon as well. I just want to be done with this!
In regards to the luck/LSOS debate, I have always wondered if the pure Bladestone is ruined by the fact that the enemy has a 100% drop rate on its A slot? I see loads of Uchigatanas with my luck, pure black world tendency, and LSOS. I am pretty sure that item has a 1.6% (I know it is less than 2%) chance of dropping per the Japanese guide. But it is a slot B item, so it is likely getting kicked up to a 15%-25% drop rate with no competition from other items. But the pure's low 0.5% competes with two 30%, one 20%, and one 19.5% item drops. I wonder how the game handles this situation?
Personally, I think it is a bug that the pure is with the slot assignment. All the other pure ores in the game are fairly easy to come by, but this one is nearly impossible. But had it been a slot B item drop I bet they would have been relatively plentiful.
