how common do SOS drops get?

it seems like just about everybody gets SOS or SOM drops from grinding

I've only gotten it once and that was when I was a noob and sold it for a meager 50k -_-

it makes me pretty angry when I see people get all these awesome drops

When I was 27 I found a trick to get SOS items. ^^ So, I got 5 SOS pieces within 7 days; but, it didn't really help much since they were low level items...>.<

Im pretty lucky when it comes to sostar, though almost all of the time, theyre equiptment, and not weapons

Currently, between three characters level 60, i have gotten around 20 SOS, 2 seal of moons.

The seal of moons were a low level 32 gloves, and a level 67 armor head (Devil eyes) , and the only weapon drops were 2 level 24 sos sword =(.

I did get 3 SOS in one night though, at earth ghosts

I bought alot of sos before I quit, I also got like 3 sos drops in my last month of playing, and the previous year and a bit was only 1 drop.

the odds of a sos or som or sosun drop are conducted under server wide drop ratio, actually, a sos is dropped every 50kills in the server so the 50th kill you gain the sos, so a sos is found a lot actually and then som is 100, and sosun is 150, and its like sos = +5 som = +10 sosun = +15, but none of you guys can beat my cousin I dont think, cuz, he found 2 sos weapons in a 2 hours, i was like O_o when i've been playin the game over a year and I've only found one.

I've gotten 2 sos drops on this char... L73 now. Both happened at L65 a week apart on power earth ghosts (armor shoulder and protector hands).

By them adjusting the drop rates so that no one gets sun, the ones that grind 24/7 are still going to have a better shot at finding it then us normal folks. All the same, maybe no one will find one!!

Best thing about 90 cap is watching all of the 8D sun weapons become useless with the 9D stuff that's available.

He who finds 9D sun will definitely own, and will be very lucky!

Yeah, this drop rate is horrible now...at least fix the drop rate on the normal items!

When farming on Bandit Archers at Lv 16 its not rare to get Sox drops, i usually get them every 2-3 days.

The bad thing is that when i'm questing or doing something else fun i never get any, i always have to bust my butt off grinding or farming to get one.
