What stat affects drop rate, if any?

Post by Asquian »

I'm blowing the dust off my PSX Suikoden, and want to know if there's any way to affect drop rates. I know Suiko 2 has the hunter rune which can be used, but I don't know if luck affects drops or if there is a GS code or what.

You can't do anything about the drop rate in this game. Luck doesn't affect it. I'm very positive that it helps to kill the enemy which has the desired loot first, because each drop is rolled when you kill the enemy and you will receive max. 1 item per battle.

If you wish to use codes, why not generating the item itself?

I like to balance between gameplay and grinding. I don't mind hunting down an enemy for a drop, but then I prefer to not spend an hour fighting the same one for a drop. I like to tweak rather than outright cheat, oddly enough.

hmm. there has to be a calculation in the game code that affects drop rates, seems there should be a way to modify that...

Indeed. Celadon urn has a 0.26% drop rate.

if only every enemy encounter is bon bon, it would be slightly easier..

Celes, no offense, but that officially makes you a nerd.

What the? You stayed up for 20 hours just to play the game?

It's taking me a lot more than 20 hours so far but i'm not letting the wild boars go as they drop earth rune pieces. :)
Still grinding whenever i get a chance to play... Already locked up 6 octopus urns but stuck with only 1 celdaon so far. lol

Ahem.. There's a save function, you can save when you are going to bed, and the clock will count how many hours you spent. Or he might just have been awake for 20 hours straight, who knows. I bet we all been there sometime.

I would have reset the game if I didn't get the item I'm searching for by 10 hour mark

Not straight, of course. But nevertheless, I've played Suiko 1 + 2 a LOT back then ^^

Putting 6 Celadon Urns into the bath is the way to decorate it in an exquisite style, if you ask me.
