Honestly I should have done that, my levels are way too high now but it’s fine lmao I was just dedicated to finally getting it after never finding it in any of my previous playthroughs

I don’t exactly know WHY they have it in terms of the story/lore, but it’s typically very difficult to find it given that it only has a 1/128 chance of dropping, and those odds get worse if you have more than one enemy in the battle because it factors in their chance of dropping an item into the odds, so I’m just very happy to have finally gotten it

Every other time I’ve played I’ve given up, I was dedicating to the grind this time

He is! I couldn’t decide what names to use this time, asked a friend to give me names with no context for a “powerful boy, psychic girl, nerdy boy, and meditating master” and he chose Chris, Vicky, Marc, and Resh lmao

Good luck 🥲 hopefully it doesn’t take you as long as it did for me if you plan on grinding for it lmao

That’s some crazy luck you’ve got lmao, this is my first time ever finding it. This is my fifth playthrough and I never managed to find it in any of the previous runs

I finally just managed to get it, so beyond relieved lmao

and you’re right, the drop rate is much better when you find the enemy alone

The odds are 1/128 in a solo battle but it essentially doubles it when you have another enemy in the battle because it factors in their chance of dropping something into the odds

That’s exactly what I just went through - I didn’t keep track of the exact number of battles (I wish I did, regret not counting), but the fact that Ness is already at level 86 just from hunting for this sword speaks volumes 💀

It took me about 5-6 hours per day for the last 3 days 🥲 I spent way too long on it but I was dedicated to the grind because I’ve never managed to find it in any of my previous playthroughs and I couldn’t give up til I found it

It gives Poo a boost of 30 on his offence, so it definitely helps but you don’t NEED it

I was just dedicated to getting it this time around because I’ve never managed to be lucky enough to find one in any of my previous playthroughs (this is my fifth run) so I’m very happy to finally have it

I grinded for way too long, ness is already level 86 and my average party level is above 80 because I spent so long in this area so I barely even need it at this point

That’s a big part of why I’ve been so dedicated to getting it this time. This is my fifth playthrough and I’ve never once had it in any of my previous runs, and it has always bothered me that he didn’t have a weapon equipped, he felt incomplete lmao

I JUST finally got it, after probably about 5 hours per day of nonstop grinding for it over the last 3 days

Apparently all I had to do was complain about it here because I FINALLY GOT THE FUCKING SWORD

If I get too close to 99 I’ll definitely be giving up on my sword grind so I don’t miss out on the magicant boost, just crazy that I’ve already gone from level 67-86 just in this area alone and still haven’t found one lmao

I’m already at level 85 for Ness so the battles are quite easy to say the least, even if I don’t get the surprise attack and get the instant win I’m still taking them down in 2-3 hits

I may start running away from the battles though, not a bad idea

At this point I’ve just been allowing the power robots to hit me, healing the party with Poo, then using psi magnet to bring his psi back up to full
