Item hunting: Gone wrong?

[Xenavire]

Hey, I have a super novice, and I am hunting the super novice gear set (Angel's set, I need five parts and only have two).

My problem is that the supposed drop rate is meant to be 30% (x3 rate from 10%) off Toad/Mastering/Vagabond Wolf/Vocal/Eclipse.
However, I have only found two parts, the "Angel's reincarnation" (feet) and "Angelic protection" (armor) from Vocal and Eclipse respectively. Yet I have killed at LEAST 15 mastering's, and about 5-6 toads (my god, I had to hunt toad in Zenhai Marsh, because it wasn't spawning in Geffen field) and 3 or 4 Vagabond wolf, and haven't had any other piece drop. IF its 10%, I just wonder why it hasn't been increased like the other drops, and if its 30%, is there something wrong? I dont think my luck could be THAT bad, and I am really sick of hunting (its been about 3-4 DAYS).

If anyone has any ideas, or can tell me if the items aren't dropped by them anymore (I would love to know what DOES drop them) then I would be reallly grateful.

Thanks,
Xen

Are those the ones sold at the npc? Wait.Probably not.

[Xenavire]

I haven't seen anyone selling them, thats why I have to hunt them.

Nah, they are part of a special equipment set for super novices. I really cant remember where to get them all...darn it. Try ratemyserver.net it really should tell you where to find it all o.O

[Xenavire]

I know where to find it, its just the Mastering (which I really have killed SO many times, I have lost count) wont drop it, even though its meant to be 30% on this server. LUCKILY I just got the drop off toad 5 mins ago (the headgear) so its just the shield and the garment left... Curse those Mastering... Does anyone know if it DOES drop it? On THIS server I mean

I did hunt one monster has 15% drop chance of an item...
that item only drop 3 times out of 50 killing (6% rofl), making me frustated..
Heck, I am in party killing pasana for 2 - 3 hours, he ever dropped dagger and sword at the same time but not even single undershirt >__>
But another day, I just kill 5 raydric and got his card....
My point is if you want it, keep trying, statistic always fail.
anyway... I don't think that angel set gives the best here...
You can easily get +2000 hp from novice armor and +80 sp from novice egg shell
I'll say just wait until you can wear any headgear (level 91 + link) and be creative.... like mage hat or just kaho horn if you are rich.

[Xenavire]

I see your point on the item drop thing, but 30% is basically 1 in 3. So the thing should have dropped about 10 times for me, yet hasn't once yet.

As for your comment on the gear, theres one downside: if I keep the novice stuff and just get the novice armor with +2000hp, I basically only get 1 slot for cards. If I get this set, I get another 4 slots, which is far superior. As for the lvl 91 thing, I have to GET to 91 first, and this gear will help, and save me a lot of money as well.

[kolela]

4 slot? I don't understand what you meant, you can easily just buy from npc for alternative equipments..
in case you did not notice, look here for the slotted equipments from npc

The only downside you talk is only headgear >__>, well if you have better headgear beside 1 z novice egg shell, please wear it...

There's a probability that the drops have been slightly nerfed?  I'm not sure but keep trying, I know the full set should be implemented .

Yeah, try asking around. I really don't know anyone that has farmed these, but there's people with these equips that's for sure

[takhara]

From what I remember of the equipment set...its all slotted, and gives special boosts when all equipped together at once. Also,

As for the lvl 91 thing, I have to GET to 91 first, and this gear will help, and save me a lot of money as well.

That- it would save you a pretty penny if you are new to the server. I may just try to get on rms in a bit and find what you are looking for, and possibly if I quit being a lazy ass I will hunt it for you . >.>

Sorry for being dumb ass, but seriously... angelic set is not really useful in this server

Angelic Set gives these benefit
(Angelic Protection[1], Angel's Reincarnation[1], Angelic Guard[1], Angelic Cardigan[1] & Angel's Kiss[1])
DEF +10
HP + 1000
SP + 100
MDEF + 20
Reduces damage from demons by 5%.
HP Regen + 5% (negligible)
SP Regen + 3% (negligible)
Chance to autocast Assumptio Lv1 when taking damage. (Assumptio only last for 20 second + small chance of occurrences too,
I doubt it'll be useful, you won't tank often when you are playing novice)

Normal Novice Equip from npc + 1 z novice false egg shell
(Novice Breastplate[1] + Novice Manteau[1] + Novice Shoes[1] + Novice Shield[1] + Novice False Egg Shell / other headgear)
DEF +11 without novice false egg shell or headgear
HP + 2000 (this novice breastplate seriously got buff up, normally on another server, it does nothing)
MAX HP +5%
SP + 80 (Or for the sake of it, you can hunt holden for super novice hat[1] 1.5% drop chance, +1 all stat, or just angel's kiss[1] then slap willow card +80 SP, incubus + succubus +1000 hp +150 sp and some bonus on novice breastplate or something else you like)
Reduce 10% of Neutral Property damage. (more for raydric card effect)
Add a 20% resistance against property attacks (All except Neutral).

The difference between two set are -1000 hp,-5% hp, +100 sp at most and % damage reduction far better than +20 MDEF + small chance level 1 Assumptio.
But headgear can be varied when you are not using angelic set, hence that +100 sp difference would get smaller if you have nice headgear beside above mention.
GM've modified novice breastplate ages ago, please please use it >__>

You can buy everything but the hat (I think) in the item shop.
Each equip costs 1 ad.
