The story of the 79 coins in shadow of the colossus is really cool. Basically, a ton of people spent years in the original game trying to find one last secret, but to no avail. Because of that the creators of the remake put in those 79 coins that lead to the secret chamber where that sword is, and they even named the coins after one of the main guys on that hunt to find the last secret in the game. His name is literally in the credits of the game. Shows how much they cared about the game and it’s community. There’s a really great video someone did about it. If you just search for it you’ll easily find it
He didn’t even mention you have to beat the game at least four times to get your stamina bar high enough to climb up to the garden/bridge area to get one of the coins for that weapon. Amazing game, tedious collectible!
@@_Lewd - i think u even have to climb and jump off the bridge twice to reach a couple coins, after u get the parachute. which is itself tough to obtain through hard time attack mode.
Familiar with the story, maybe il try to go one day for that sword myself out of nostalgia, honestly its the only weapon on this list that sounds reasonable to get.
The Pendulum of Doom was so desired because it was one of three weapons in the game with a 4.00 second attack speed. Most "slow" weapons topped out at 3.80. A slower attack speed was desirable for some classes whose skills scaled with weapon damage, so regardless of how fast or slow the weapon's regular swings were, hitting an instant skill that derived its damage from a slow but hard-hitting weapon was very potent. It also was equippable at level 39, the highest level for the 30-39 PvP bracket, so it was about the best weapon for Shamans and Paladins who wanted to play in that specific level range.
I saw that weapon speed and as an old warrior main I salivated. The mortal strikes that weapon must have dished out! And with a level 39 necessary to equip, that's a perfect twink weapon.
@@tomsettle2631 Think he's on about spellshock leggings. Insanely powerful caster legs for their level, had them drop during a boosting run for a friend during mid/late TBC(2008).
however, although some could consider it dark to say, the weapon is about getting headshots, and the term "fool" is usually given to someone who acts unwise.. and it was given to someone who went through brain surgeory
I remember some players getting super pissed about that too. I vaguely recall a fair number of players complaining that they were not able to obtain that weapon and demanded that Bungie add it into the game for everyone to obtain despite Bungie coming out and saying that they only gave one out to this one specific player because the player was suffering from some form of brain cancer and the player used Destiny as a coping tool to help them deal with their health situation.
I actually got the Seitengrat bow in FF12. It was a pain, but the rng manipulation actually works. Getting the chest to spawn was the hardest part. Once I knew it was there, I had to watch an NPC child run back and forth a specific number of times on the deck, and then open the chest and I got it. The bow itself is also invisible. I think it was a dev tool or a scrapted item that was never meant for players to find.
it's indeed a dev tool. The game also got an invisible shield which is way easier to get (although also RNG reliant), and iirc there might also be an invisible sword. Though the other dev tool weapons aren't as OP as the Seitengrat bow is
I also got the seitengrat in my playthrough also. It does make the difficulty tank and it becomes majorly easier after obtaining it but if I remember it was almost , 3 days of 5-8 hour play sessions of doing nothing but sky ferry, invisible chest spawning to actually finally find it!
@@Alex-wo2jk Possible once you have the RNG set up for it, and honestly wouldn't take that long, but even just one of them is enough to cheese the entire game if you just want a casual playthrough. Also, don't step on any confusion traps with three S bows haha
I remember the Cobra from Borderlands 2. Based on Borderlands Wiki “ Every time one of Pete's burners drops a sniper rifle, if that weapon spawns with purple rarity then it has a .88% chance (not 88%, but 0.88%: that's 88 in 10,000) to be the Cobra. This makes Cobra one of the rarest drops in the game.” I farm it for weeks me and my brother then I just give up.
Got one. Random drop. I played that game for a little bit. Like, just a lite bit. Only a little. Did I say I didn't play that game that much, right? :)
I was gonna say the perfect hyde of terra. If I remember correctly it’s one of the rarest items in the game. Even more rare than a 94 sham or a cobra. Now…. Perfect cobra. Pretty sure that blows anything out of the water borderlands related
I love these type of lists because it gives me something to maybe try and grind out in the future when I'm bored or waiting for a game to come out. I got a deaths web drop in chaos sanctuary but it wasnt rolled great but i still use it on my poison necro. Trying to get a griffons eye to drop on my ssf character but that shit doesn't exist for me haha
In the original Guild Wars there's a unique weapon that no one had gotten for 10 years, only recently being discovered about a year ago. It doesn't have a crazy low drop rate, but it wasn't found until a dev hinted to pay attention to some specific NPC dialogue.
Happy to see that the seitengrad is there, spend like a week back in ps2 japanese version to get 6 of it for the whole party which you totally don't need at all. They said the dev left it there for testing purposes but then forgot about it which explains the missing textures.
When you described Excalibur maybe being held onto by a dev, I can't help but think about "the sword of 1000 truths" from the South Park WoW episode as the next closest thing to that reality.
The really miniscule drop rates for these weapons annoy the hell outta me. That's why typically in mmos I only go off of gear that I can eventually earn and get at a vendor or exchange.
I remember back in 2006 during my Final Fantasy XI playing days the hardest/rarest NM to spawn was the Almighty Apkallu. Too many conditions had to be met and not all the servers met it. It also had one of the (probably THE most difficult) drop for an item: The Birdman Cape. Sure it wasn't the greatest cape to have but the rarity was astronomical. Today... anyone can have it😒
I spent off and on 10 years trying to form an alliance for, and get the 5% chance, drop for Vivian Ring from Voluptuous Vivian. Finally, when level cap was raised, I leveled thf to 99 (pre119 era), and soloed it about 12 times over the course of a few weeks before it finally dropped. Obsessive, I know.
FFXI grinds were no joke. Coordinating spawn times for key items, then camping for the actual boss, farming the materials etc. As a casual player, it took me a good 5 years just to unlock the first stage of one of those relic weapons on my ninja. Want even usable at that stage. Would have taken at least another 2 years part time farming to unlock next stage.
Enjoyed collecting the coins in SotC. Was nice having more of a reason to complete the time trials other than having something to mess around with while fighting the colossi. Spent 3 days collecting them after a couple months of nerding out on the game and finding a little over 30
What was harder? The 79 coins (I never played the ps4 version) or getting into the garden of eden(?) after playing the game like 14(?) times so your stamina bar is high enough?
@@trentreffner5699 the coins forsure. The coins can only be collected after having completed after collecting all the time trials for the rewards. The parachute is needed for several of them. The sword for collecting the coins was worth it though. Considering SotC is one of my favorite games, I was glad they did something with the door that everyone was hoping did something in the original. The climb for the garden only needs about 3 playthroughs as long as you try to collect lizard tails here and there. You also get stamina for killing colossi. I was around the 8th or 9th colossi on my third playthrough to get max stamina. You can get to the garden before max but you have to be perfect. Blue Pointe Games outdid themselves with the remake. Now that From Software has them, I pray theyre working on a Bloodborne Remake lol
@@HZRDousLucifer will have too check out that game (Bloodborne). Thanks for the response after so long :D Anyways, you talk about time trials... don't get me started on the JP. I remember the one that looked like a turtle and buddy just grabbed the foot, it rears up and throws his ass a mile in the air to come back down, grab at the right time (to avoid fall damage) and started stab stab stab :D
@@trentreffner5699 only tactic like that that I was able to do was launching off the sword on the 3rd one. Aside from finding the dead zones where you wouldn't shake. Only reason I got the trials for the Cat, the Goat ( The bearded one, and the Boar. If you dont know what I'm on about, theres a spot just off of most of the glyphs where you can still get the damage while also being able to avoid dealing with the shake and wobble of the colossi. Feels amazing when you can get it. Suggest watching Distortion2's speed runs for the game. Can see some of the amazing plays that are possible. Bloodborne is another favorite of mine. From the people who do the Dark Souls games. Its similar in difficulty, but has some original aspsects to it. Another favorite of mine. Its got more of a gothic, victorian environment to it. People compare the new game Lies of P to it. It has a darker atmosphere to it. Severe eldritch horror vibes. The creator was massively inspired by H.P. Lovecraft while working on it. Just like he used Berserk for the inspiration behind Dark Souls. Im a Soulslike junky lol even been playing the new Lords of the Fallen recently
I remember struggling to get a zodiac spear in ff12. And Excalibur was also very hard to get but it was more based on navigating a difficult, maze/puzzle-like map. In zodiac age it’s obtained in a different way, but without a guide in ff12 it’s damn hard to find.
Zodiac Spear is completely missable without a guide. And even with a guide, the one in Henne Mines nears impossible to get without RNG manipulation (same with most chests on Cerebi Steppe tbh). Also don't forget the Mina dagger, it's a super rare drop from a rare game which only appears if you chain hundreds of enemies within that crystal area.
@@jasonruggles4622 nah, I would say the rare drops in XII are harder to get, no contest at all if you don't play the original ps1 FF IX. By the time you have done your IX speedrun, you are still running in back and forth to respawn treasure coffers.
@@RyuSaarva I'm sorry you missed the point I don't want to speedrun a game I want to enjoy the game I want to be able to do the side games I want to be able to do the digging game the Coco game the racing game the jump rope game all of that but you can't if you want to get one weapon. It's ridiculous to try to compare the two I literally speed run through entire game and don't enjoy any of it and the other one I can take my time yeah I got to reset my game a bunch but at least I have time to enjoy everything the whole point of playing the game in the first place
Hey man I have to correct you here. The Death's Web is one of the rarest item in Diablo 2 but the drop chance is nowhere near as bad as you showed here because you are not using the drop calculator correctly. What is shown here is the drop rate of the item on play 1, from a normal mobs, with 0 magic find. However, when D2 players really want to farm a death's web, we will be target farming it by killing a superunique monster called "Pindleskin" with around 600 magic find, and the odds of dropping a death's web, according to the drop calculator you used, is 1 in 56310. The barbarian skill "find item" will give you a 75% chance for a second set of drops from the monster which means you will probably find a Death's web every 30000 pindle runs and one pindle run takes about 20 seconds. It's still one hell of a grind but not impossible for us no-life D2 players.
Agreed. taking quest drops out (since they are boosted and not repeatable) Just running a single person MF game with a measly 400 MF the drop for D-Web is more like 1:45,000 which is certainly still rare.
I think the most rarest item/s I own in any game are the original 343 Industries skins for both the Assault Rifle and Magnum in Halo 5: Guardians. This were weapons skins only intended for 343 employees but when they were first implemented into the game, for a short period, players had a chance of obtaining this skins randomly through Gold REQ Packs. Once 343 released these skins were accidently added into the live REQ pool, they quickly removed them from the pool but did allow the players who managed to get their hands on them to keep the skins. I know some players were lucky enough to get the one of the skins and in some cases, both of them, like myself. Though in the time I had played Halo 5, I had only really ran into a handful of players that had at least one of the skins. I am not sure what the total count is for players who managed to get the skins is today but I recall that it was still a rather low amount of players making them still pretty rare seeing as players weren't suppose to get them in the first place.
Oh yeah, I have those skins as well. They were actually added back into the item pool, so it is now possible to get them. It was added back in after 2 years after it got accidentally released.
In Witcher 3, there’s a silver sword called Tor Zireael. It’s the silver “sister” to the steel sword called Tor Lara, but is far more elusive. I’m not referring to the Zireael sword that you give to Ciri, but a relic lootable sword. It’s rare to the point that some consider the sword a myth, there’s very few images online of the sword, and there’s no reliable guide to finding it. Most of the more rare relic swords are tied to one or two locations, and no one seems to reliably know where Tor Zireael is. And it’s one of the best silver swords in the game. While it’s damage is dependent on the same factors as any other relic sword, it has the bonus stats of 25% Igni intensity, 15% Quen intensity, 15% chance to freeze, and 3-5% chance of instakill.
Imagine getting any of these weapons after hundreds and hundreds of hours of playtime and you try to tell your friends you Did it, but than you realize you have No Friends
I'm throwing the eagle bearer from the division 2, you had to beat an entire raid for a .5% drop chance. Oh and it was only able to drop on your first clear of the week so if it didn't drop you had to wait an entire week to try again.
And thats why I prefer a super difficult, almost impossible challenge to earn a guaranteed item over RNG any day. Its been a few years since I player The Division 2
@@BigMobe yeah RNG is a biotch, games like the division and destiny although fun to play but really annoying when trying to get the best gear in the game.
You would not understand the gravity of the meaning behind the sword in Shadow of the Colossus. Its a culmination of players desire to find more for years in the original game, writing entire book sized theories and guides. The point of the sword isn't the sword. It's the quest to find them. The coins are also placed in a way they reference the numerous theories on possible positions of never implemented colossi and similar. Its not the sword, its the search. It's about seeing those hidden doors open and walking down the stairs and seeing the sword and witnessing the culmination of the stories finally being given light and merit by the devs. That is what it's about.
Having played FFXI from lvl 50 cap until ToAU expansion, I can tell you no one ever did find this or knew about it until it was said during an interview. It was patched out of the game when Rise of the Zilart was released since the plan was to add endgame weapons known as relic weapons of which Excalibur became one of them. The interview stated had the item ever been fished up, they would not have made a relic weapon named Excalibur and it would have been called something else. This confirmed it was never attained. Modders of the game have proven it is not in the game files any longer as the ID associated to it no longer has an actual model and is a blank place holder. Something they do any time they remove data from the game.
Yeah it's actually kind of insane that they'd literally show the FFXIclopedia page for Excalibur, but didn't bother scrolling down even once, where they'd literally see a section "How to Obtain" I don't think people even USE Excalibur any more, the other Relic weapons they added (Mythic, Aeonic, etc) were better. Excalibur is mostly inventory slot -1 now.
@@_mnejing This was in relation to an item that existed before Dynamis was added to the game, thus before the relic weapon version. The item was a dummy place holder for an item that was attainable only by fishing and at a very low chance until it was patched out. No one actually ever obtained the item before it was patched out. Now only the relic weapon version exists.
Diablo 2 does have the magic finding stat though, which makes the chances a bit better. Also, im pretty sure that Astreons iron ward and Mang songs lesson has more or less the same dropchance as Deaths web. Also, the item can drop from several mobs in a pretty small area. So while that drop rate is from each mob, it probably gets a bit higher as you get several chances in the same run of an area. F.ex. in the pits you face up to 8+3 unique monsters which each have that individual chance to drop the item. I wont bother with the math.
I spent a VERY long time to get this on my lower level bg ret pally. I do not remember how many runs but I was farming this nonstop for a solid 4+ months. Loved every second of it because that weapon allowed you to one shot any other player around your level and sometimes higher when everything procced right. Didn’t realize how rare it was until after the first week 😵💫
Really cool to see FF9 listed in this. I’d just like to add for the run we don’t skip FMVs. If you use fast disc speed on a PS2 it cuts out probably 15-20 mins at least depending on the model of PS2
One that has stuck with me was the Magician’s Quest Weapon from EverQuest, called the Orb of Mastery. Think it was the most difficult Quest weapon at the time. Required 30+ items to collect from various zones. The rough part was required items from multiple Raid Dungeons, remember Plane of Mischief, and Plane of Hate off the top of my head.
Yeah the necro epic weapon in Everquest was really rough too. Along with a few others.. No epic weapon pieces in Plane of Mischief though.. That was a Velious zone and all the epic weapons came out in Kunark
I remember doing many Plane of Air zones. I think it was for my mage epic. /shrug when you are in a guild you end up doing lots of those zones anyways helping many slog through that stuff. Oh my I remember my Plane of Air weekend raids.. /sigh not sure good times, but definably very remember able.
@@steveheffner I wasn’t fortunate enough to find a guild capable. For me I think I got hooked to an unhealthy level in EQ, and I’m not entirely convinced that game was made to be enjoyed. Almost like it was designed to be obsessed over.
@@DonkThikkness Yea I didn't realize how toxic my relationship was with EQ till I left WoW.. Yea you read that right, it took me leaving EQ to go to something less toxic to then jump into a toxic mess again, and then come through the other side going well.. Now I know better and recognize it much easier when I play games. One of the reasons I tend to not stay in MMO's for a long period of time. Still have lots of memories where I stayed too long, like in an abusive relationship. To be fair thou, the toxic points depends on the mmo. eq was more a toxic timesync. Wow a toxic never ending grind, and then the community. Some games it is a toxic cash shop. So on and so forth.
Back in the day everyone was using a duped kings sword of haste in Diablo. One day I was visiting Wirt and he was selling a Kings Mace of haste. It was almost as good as the sword damage wise but it was just awesome to say it wasn't duped. Up to that point I'd seen regular king weapons but nothing with haste. And the %s were almost perfect too.
Wow! Never had King's nor wanted one, but I remember being bragged to about it. I loved that game... was in a relationship probably 6mos longer than I should've been because of it, though
Thanks for mentioning Phantasy Star. I played PSU for several years and the limited drop events were ridiculous. For two years I wanted to get a weapon called the Love Cannon which the material board only dropped during the white day event. It never dropped for me but I was able to trade for the mats giving up way more than it was really worth. Then there was the 500 Spread Needle shotguns that went to the top players in an event that I was not able to get lol. That game has tons of rare and basically impossible to get items lol
I was shocked to see PSO mentioned but also very happy. I do wish they talked more about the actual good shit like guld/milla or even a goddam invisible guard
I literally have the Dreamcast mag in PSO2 which amuses me lol... I don't think it's as rare as he thinks it is, it's pretty rare but not that rare. It cost a hefty price but not an unreasonable one.
So glad you listed It World of Warcraft , I've been playing for 15 years and some of the weapons/mounts are teeth pulling amount of time to get with low drop chance. I've never dedicated farmed that weapon, but even still after 15 years it's never dropped for me. I think one day WoW deserves its own video, it literally made MMO's what they are today. Would be cool to see.
I wouldn't go that far. There were many MMO's before WOW that made MMO's including WOW what it was too. Everquest Online, Ultima Online, Final Fantasy XI, Runescape etc. all came before WOW. Even today, Runescape classic and FF14 both have more active players than WOW does. WOW wasn't that special.
3rd age longsword, 3rd age bow, 3td age wand, 3rd age druidic wand, 3rd age pickaxe and 3rd age axe are all 1 in 313168 per reward roll each. One (master) clue has 5 to 7 reward rolls, where performing on absolute maximum efficiency with maximum stats and gear, around 2 master clues per hour are possible to complete. Where if you even get one of these items it feels like winning a lottery, imagine trying to collect a of them (and you can get dupes).
This my friend Falcon is why back in the day we saved all our allowance money (and later our part time job money) to buy a Game Genie and Gameshark/Codebreaker/Action Replay. Because some of these rare drop rates, hidden weapons and bosses were so low, so hidden or so hard, we literally would sweat and save just so we could type in a code and bypass the headache. Come to think of it, we probably worked harder and longer hours just saving up for those devices back when I was young than if I had sat there and grinded it out... ha....
I had a friend who spent 5 years going for some mount in that game. It was the most important thing to him all through high school. It became his identity and just about the only thing he was excited to talk about. I don't understand it and never will and it actually ended our friendship. That game is not good for addictive personalities. He's 30 years old now and basically on deaths door.
@@BenWebster84 Since we're on the subject: When that game came out I had friends that disappeared. Three guys we knew moved into an apartment together. I hadn't seen them again in six months. Gone. Vanished. When i finally found them there was a full life sized storm trooper playing poker in the dining room next to you when you came in. There was no furniture (real furniture). The coffee table was made of domino's pizza boxes. The tv stand was cinder block and particle board. In the garage were three computers lined up. There they were.
How you didn't mention that the sword of dormin was works of years collective community efforts to uncover the final secret of the game (which actually nonexistent) is a crime. The developer was moved by how passionate the community and made the sword as a reward in the remake. It is also to honor the first guy who initiates the effort who already passed away (his name is in credits)
Wow player here, pendulum of doom isn't very great, but it is damn rare. The 0.06% drop rate is accurate, but it only drops from 3 mobs in the entire dungeon. The item is mostly used as vanity/transmorg item nowadays. I was lucky enough to get it on classic, was cool to see drop and wield, but the item isn't max lvl and a few levels later you could get better ones allready. But it was nice for twinks (chars that stayed lower lvl with highest gear on that lvl possible)
Oh man, the Dreamcast Mag. Was not expecting to see an item on this list that I actually have. PSO and the Dreamcast are fond memories from my youth that I will always cherish.
There were a lot of mags, like Sonic etc too... I played the heck out of that game, even online, on the GameCube version I wish they'd port it because I'd play the offline version so much
I apparently had one too in PSO2, had no idea it was rare, don't even remember where I got it from. I saw it in this list and had to boot up my PSO2 to see and yep, there's my Dreamcast mag item.
Sir I wish you to know that I envy your dreamcast MAG. I loved the Dreamcast, it was too pure and good for this world and died before it's time. I also feel the same way about the lucky assholes who backed Warframe early to get the founder exclusive Excalibur Prime frame. Only wway to have gotten it.
@bulbafett5001 A fellow dreamcast lover, hell yeah brother! At least on it and gamecube the action replay/ gameshark exist so its technically still possible to get . And I know the knowledge is useless but if it makes you feel better, I and a lot of the warframe founders complained on behalf of the community to let everyone have access to Excalibur Prime. Just give us founders something minor no one wouldn't care about. It was a straight up no an no detail why. I think we then came to the conclusion it probably had to do with it being straight up money related and the studio could be sued over it given you had to pay a heafty price for it more so including the weapons in the heigher tiers.
There was a sword that only mods could equip in Ragnarok online. It added a ton of stats and skills they didn't need since they already had max stats, all skills. I got hit with it once during a special event, and I got double attacked for more HP than it was possible to have ☠️
I used to play ragnarok online a ton back in the day, one of my buddies got us both mod jobs on a decently big private server and I remember there being a holy Lance that was also mod command only, the owner of the server had all of the mod accounts wearing the angel wings and carry either the holy Lance or the sword so as to appear like archangels, miss that game sometimes
yeah i think only Balmung fits the description, it is a fiery swords with 255 damages and raise a lot of stats, there are also a hammer that have 255 damages but i forget the name.
Some of the weapon drops in Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2 are unbelievably rare (ignoring limited release items). Additionally, every weapon drops with random additive bonuses in 3 of 5 possible categories that correspond to the 4 different enemy types/species in the game. The 5th modifier is the most desired and the least likely to populate on any drop. This modifier adds 'Hit' which effectively stacks as accuracy on top of the weapon's base accuracy + your character's base accuracy. Possible additive bonus range is 0-100 in increments of 5, and all but the 5th additive can potentially be boosted up to 100 unless it drops with 90 Hit and is 'tekked' to +100 Hit.
I’m the only other person here who understands what you just said. There is always something to hunt in PSO, Heavens Punisher forever eludes my Bluefull don’t even mention Yasha. One of the best games ever made in my opinion.
Pso2 has quite a lot of weapon drops that are so insanely rare, for example all of the original "OT" weapons can still drop, their stats no longer compare to the "NT" weapons that are now standard, so they're pretty much useless but good for showing off... if you check the drops stats for certain runs the drop-rate seems to be around 1/7,000,000 (of getting 1, not each) from specific lvl 75+ urgent quests. I've never seen one actually drop and only know of a single person that has obtained one.
After the weird stories of July video, I'm surprised the Tiny Tina's Wonderland weapon, Ascended Warlock's Amalgam of Glorious Purpose wasn't included. 1 in 85,000,000,000 chance of finding it.
I think that was finding it with perfect passive rolls wasn't it? and even then I think the 85b was miscalculated and higher than it actually was, I think 1b for rolling it with all the passives you want was closer to the mark.
I had gotten a Gjallarhorn _before_ I realized it was quite rare, early Destiny. It wasn’t for around a week after that I started seeing videos of people losing their collective minds when they finally found one. Took the excitement outta it since I didn’t know what I had lol.
Imagine me grinding, early Destiny, and seeing it in Xur's weekly inventory and saying "man I don't want some rocket launcher, I want an AR or something" skipping it, then seeing all the hype about it and that Bungie was permanently taking it off Xur's inventory rolls 🙃
I got a Gjallarhorn in year 1 after doing VOG raid. I didn’t know anything about the gun but all my friends were freaking out that I got it. I was like, “it’s just a rocket launcher what’s the big deal” 😂😂
@@netoisthebest hahaha i bought additional Gjallahorn when Xur Sold them so that I didn't have to swap it between my characters anymore. Beast of a rocket launcher - especially before the nerfs. Making me feel nostalgic and missing my OG Ice Breaker too 😢
The Eve Online entry seems underestimated. At least in the other games you have a calculated percentile that you can obtain rares but Eve is different on how they can be obtained and later destroyed if foolish, which has happened.
Excalibur is actually a REMA weapon in FFXI once game cap was at 75. These weapons are even harder to get.... requiring 1000s of in game hours of grinding+
I think why the sword of kings stands out is that almost everyone had the official guidebook while playing through Earthbound so you knew what you were missing out on the whole time, there was no big discovery about it years later.
If you do a part 2 you should mention the Cobra Sniper from Borderlands 2. There is only 1 place to get it in the burnout, and in order to get it the ads you kill must first role a rare weapon, that rare weapon must role as a sniper, that sniper must role as a torgue sniper that torgue sniper then must role with the Cobra barrel that makes it the unique. All in all has about a 0.88%.... I don't have one dispite farming for over a year. (I gave up)
I see I found a person of culture. Lol. The level is also called "The Beatdown" and I kid you not in the 10 years I've been playing BL2 I've never seen The Cobra drop. Hell when I first saw one I thought it was a modded weapon. Lol. Also I'd say "The Twister" is almost as rare since it's dropped by an enemy that has to level up to spawn, AND said enemy ONLY exists in maybe 2 areas. I've only gotten Triple O to spawn TWICE! Thank goodness he dropped The Twister the 2nd time (post patch) although it had terrible parts. Lol.
SOTC always felt like there was more to it, like something was hidden. Even when they came out and said there wasn’t, and even had concept arts of scrapped colossi from certain areas that clearly looked like there were supposed to be a boss. Amazing game.
The Seitengrat took me over 12 hours of reloading the same save to actually get it. Zodiac spear, which has a 1% drop chance, took me 2 hours of reloading the chest. It sucks too because by the time you get both these weapons, there’s only a handful of enemies left that don’t die instantly to it. I wish there was a NG+
In Destiny 1, there is a gun that only one person owns called Fate of All Fools. I believe the developers gifted it to that player. That's pretty rare.
I did the Excalibur 2 on PAL with no FMV skips or any glitches at all - the speed runners use a PS2 and run it on double disc speed to save a lot of time too; the loading times throughout the game are a huge time drain. They’re also running on NTSC which runs even quicker again than PAL, so it’s made even easier. Doing the E2 run on PAL, without double disc speed or FMV skips was the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done, it was long thought to be impossible in fact (albeit plenty of others have now done it).
Some weapons in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was such a pain to get. You had to get certain mission items and pray the certain mission eventually drops.
not only in FFT advance, the ones you have to catch in a certain dungeon with the catch ninja ability were a pain, also in FFT you could get cloud strife from FF7, and then you have to get his sword wich was ridiculous (sorry for the little broken english)
Nice Video! I think the chromatic sword and teebu's blazing longsword (both from world of warcraft) deserves a place on this list too, cause there also incredible rare :D
The original version of FF12 had a weapon that was even harder to get than the ones mentioned on this list. It was easier to get in The Zodiac Age remake, but in the original version you had to NOT open a series of chests for a chance for it to appear in a specific chest in Nabudis. There's absolutely nothing that tells you not to open these easy to find, random chests in various locations. Even if you do avoid opening those chests, you CAN'T be wearing the Diamond Armlet, which is counterintuitive because the purpose of the accessory is to increase your chances of getting rare treasure. FF games are infamous for stuff like this. Let's not even discuss the Adamant Armor from FF4.
Adamant Armors are at least obtainable. The pink tails are 1/65535 drops from a 1/256 enemy, but that's still within scope of obtaining compared to some of these.
For me, the adamant armor from Final Fantasy 2/4. To get it, you need to trade in the pink tail. To get the pink tail you had to fight the pink puff. If I remember the pink puff only appeared in one room at the end of the game. It had a 1/64 appearance rate and a 1/64 drop rate. On the SNES bank in the 90s I farmed them trying to get it. I gave up after my 128th run in with them. So I never saw that damn pink tail.
i looked at a video of getting the armor, it looked like such a pain in the ass. also on the wiki talking about the armor they had this fun fact: "The Adamant Armor apparently plays around with some extended flags in the SNES version, and removing the Adamant Armor after having it equipped on a character once will make that character very weak (4x damage taken) to Fire, Ice, and Lightning elements. If the player manage to get this armor, they should equip it to a character and never remove it."
reminds me of the cobra rifle in borderlands 2 if you dont know the rifle can only drop from non badass burner enemies so you can only find it in one specific section of the game then the enemy has to drop a legendary (already a rare event) then that item has a one in 12 chance of being a rifle then it has to roll the cobra over all the other rifles in game its one of the rarest guns in the game
Ye but still easy to get you just continuously grind the game I did the same thing in borderlands 2 to get the infinity gun to use the infinite Xp exploit its possible to do with any gun tho ye it does take way longer with the cobra
I'm playing a private server for Luna Online called Odyssey Luna. They have an added feature called Monster Cores, which are very rare items that most enemies in the game drop. Each regular mob from level 1 to level 96 has a unique core. You can equip these cores to get stat boosts. Each core has a drop chance of 0.05% or 1 in 2000. There are items and even some buffs you can get to increase the drop chances, but the best you can realistically do is around 0.1% after boosting. There are a total of 124 Cores. I have successfully collected all of them as a personal challenge.
8:20 The Diamond Armlet gives you a completely different treasure table. Most chests have 2 items you can get without the Armlet equipped and 2 separate items you can get with it equipped. For Seitengrat, it's only part of the Armlet table.
There are so many super rare drops in FF11 its crazy. It wasnt just with weapons either. Some of the materials you needed to craft super rare weapons were super rare. Ever tried getting Jaggedy Eared Jacks boots or was it a charm?
Hey dude love the vid! Just wanted to add, I've just downloaded ff 9 on the ps4 and it has these 2 options that were never on the ps1, one of which is a 3x speed that doesn't affect ur gametime! The cut scenes are still normal speed but all other game play is 3x speed! The other option is like a 'godmode" button where u take no damage, use no mana, theres no cool downs on summons and ur limit is always up! There's not much point in playing the game with that on but I just thought if players were trying to obtain Excalibur 2 that would make it very easy!
You should have mentioned the godweapons from Ragnarok Online. You need a strong Guild to conquer castles in the Guild vs Guild fights, then upgrade and defend these castles for probably months, just to have a chance to drop one of the many godpieces needed to craft these weapons. Not to mention, if your castle gets taken by another guild, even if you immediatly retake it, the castle will drop many upgrade lvls so you will have wasted weeks/months. And also you will become a main target if you actually have an upgraded castle. And every castle drops a specific crafting material, so you have to conquer, upgrade and defend more than just one castle. You can trade these crafting materials but the prices for them are enormous, even top guilds have to think about if they are willing to pay for them. Well thats how it was back in the day. Dont know how it is these days. Also, most droprates for weapons and cards are in the 0,1 - 0,01 % area. The boss cards are especially notable, they also have a 0,01% droprate but these bosses have long spawntimers, many hours, and you have to compete with rival players for these bosses. So these bosscards are extremely rare, even if a server is years old there will be only a few out there.
God items put most rare items to shame. There were about one or two of each on the entire server, and it was very well known who had access to those. It took entire alliances of multiple guilds to defend those castles, and crafting any of them would be broadcast server-wide. Heck, even if you had the materials, you had to wait for the whole server to progress a server-wide quest chain to reach a certain phase (similar to the gates of aq in wow) before the game would let you craft exactly one of them. After that, the quest chain would reset all the way back to square one. There were also slotted sunglasses, which were extremely rare on the european server. These were literally unobtainable and the developer explicitly did not want these to even exist. They only did because the american publisher hacked them in without permission. The only way to get one was to have a us player transfer to eu during the one and only server transfer that has ever happened and have them trade it to you. A single slotted sunny was also given out during an event held by game masters, and even that was probably one of the transfered ones.
Luck and reloading unique areas got it for me. But when it dropped, I couldn't find it until one of the enemies picked it up and used it on me and THEN I got it Lol.
@@hallaloth3112 uh yeah... sure if you have a bot running Countess runs on hell 24/7 but I am sure you can still find way more Death's Webs from Pindleskin using a bot
@@Hobbes4ever I did as a 13 year old kid with runes I picked up playing normally with a few transfers between characters to keep the ladder going. . . I'm not saying it isn't rare. . .but that's more because its tedious to do that way.
@@hallaloth3112 From what I have read the amount of time it takes to find or cube a Zod rune is quite a bit longer than finding a Death's Web. The only reason why Zod runes were cheap on the trade market was because of ppl were duping them and I don't think the game was able to remove duped runes.
Glad I checked this out to see that FFXI has made another Top 10 lists (the other was hardest boss). I don't believe that Excalibur can be fished up but I guess it could be real. Just wanted to comment that some of the ultra rare drops in FFXI were from one notorious (i.e. unique) monster that only spawn once ever 21-24 hours or even longer.
Reminds me of how I got a Tyreal's Might in Diablo 2 in middle school, wasn't aware of how rare it was and sold it to Larzuk because the stats were trash.
So nice that the remaster of FF 12 has a significantly easier way to get the Seitengrat. As someone that has beaten this game on PS2 dozens of times, getting this right away at the start of the game was totally worth another spin through the game.
@@CallMekwech yeah i remember when i wanted to get a specific loot drop at level 20, when i found the place where the mob spawns there were 20 other people waiting for it to spawn... and it spawned *once* every 24hrs with a drop rate of 0.3 or sth. also, the first one who gets a hit in had the rights to kill it... so the atmosphere was rather intense ^_^°
It's not a weapon necessarily but getting the Knights of the Round materia in Final Fantasy 7 has to rank up there with some of the most difficult things to get in a video game as well. There's no way I would have ever figured out all the steps with the different breeds of chocobo and the different types of greens etc. The steps to get Cloud in Final Fantasy Tactics too.... ugh, shoot me
Funny enough with FF11's Excalibur, it was the only way to learn the ability "Knights of the Round" for the Paladin or Red Mage. So basically, if you didn't have that weapon, you also do not have that ability.
The only rare weapon I ever went to the length of using an RNG method to get was one in Golden Sun. I'd have to look it up, but it was a monster random drop that was supposed to be the strongest stat wise, but I think it wasn't technically the best due to not having a skill iirc. Idk, it's been YEARS. I just remember following a weird guide where you had to do very specific things to get the right very rare spawn, then it was a very low chance to drop on top of that.
Eve online is a crazy game.. grinding 2-3 years just to make ur character playable. It's crazy where everything in the game is made by players. If you are not ready for stress and hardcore PvP along with exploration and mining.. everything is PvP even in the safest area u will be killed.. and u will be safe in high level ship which u need skills and those skills needs real time to get l . Some of them takes years to get a single skill.. if u r not ready to throw ur life in a game then this game is not for u.. even players said its not a game its a whole another life.. lol
The explosive flamer from fallout76, the game was patched so they can't drop anymore making the few that legitimately exist now really rare and expensive (only encountered one person using it in all the time I played the game and they were farming the scrochbeast Queen for about 4hrs before leaving the server).
From all things Phantasy Star Online/Universe you could have placed on this list, you chose a mag form from PSO2 that was an event item...I mean come on, you could have talked about Sealed J Sword, or Psycho Wand, or the one that was probably the rarest: the Guld Milla handguns because you HAD to find both, and Guld had a droprate of +-1/20880. Milla was not that bad iirc.
Is that the one that is super fast and hits like 3 times for every button press? I haven't played that game since I was a kid, but I remember getting some sort of random overpowered sword that completely made every other weapon obsolete
Maybe its because of luck but I dont think its too bad I managed to get 2 its fun to use but not terrible in comparison to the other weapons here it does shatter the game though and in harmony of despair having 2 with the succubus spirit is so much fun, active life steal with health replacing mp and those 2 swords is so much fun just spam magic lose hp get it back and do it again
I dont know why I remembered Golden sun and there was a moment in which you traveled on a boat or something and there was a small chance to end in a island with a dungeon in which you could find a lot of rare items.
For FF IX if you were unlucky to play a 50hz version of the game, you couldn't manage at all to get Excalibur II on time, because the game clock was still running at 60hz !
Death's Web is why I ended up quitting Diablo 2R. Spent a month grinding for it in various methods, and realized that I was never going to get any of the equipment I wanted in that game. Been playing Diablo 2 since it released 2 decades ago, and never got anything remotely rare. The droprates in that game are such garbage. You could literally beat the game on all difficulties with all characters 10 times, and still not get a noteworthy item. And even if you did, what's the point when you've already beaten the game dozens of times?
You certainly did get notable items, just not on that level of rarity. If death's head was less rare and you got it you'd still not have anything that rare.
@@cameronbreeze4029 Here's the thing though, from what I remember, Death's Web isn't even a best in slot item. It's really good, but I remember there was a different weapon (I think Runeword?) that was better. What good are having a ton of rare weapons in the game, if you have a 1 in a several million chance of getting them, and their not even going to be all that game changing? I'm not saying there shouldn't be rare stuff, just that I shouldn't have to spend half a year farming for an item I'll probably outgrow while farming it. it's not like D2 is a true multiplayer game anyway. There is an economy, but it almost entirely revolves around the stupid max level runes, which are a whole other clownery of droprates.
I got lucky enough to acquire not one, but 2 unique rings in Diablo 2 within the same created game. Same act. Durance of hate 2, and 3. Original at that. Stone of Jordan, and Bulkathos both dropped in a single play through while spamming through magic find runs. One of the rings came from a kicked barrel or chest, totally random. The other was from one of those named council guys before Mephisto.
1:20 my first days playing TF2 i actually saw someone scrap a golden wrench. it appeared in the chat as the "x player crafted scrap". but instead it said "x player destroyed golden wrench for scrap" and the announcer lady said "YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT". chat flamed said person hard with rekts and lols
In phantasy star online 1&2 the actual rarest weapon would have been the olga flow sword, which had a 1 in 64000 chance of dropping *from the final boss* of the game, which is not easily farmable at all. Only a handfull people in the world had that weapon legitimate. It might actually be one of the rarest swords in gaming history
I think I might actually have that dreamcast mag, I played the beta in 2020 but never actually got the full game, so could not confirm until I eventually try it.
I feel like the sword Eltonbrand from Morrowind needs to be on this list. First you need to become a vampire which most people don't do because it cuts you off from most of the game's content and is just really annoying with being unable to be in the sun. Then you need a specific key in your inventory as well as EXACTLY 11171 gold in your inventory as you talk with a specific NPC. I don't even know how people figured such an obscure thing out.
#10 reminds me of the "party hat" items in Runescape 2. they are a special item that could only be obtained from a special event LONG ago, it's IMPOSSIBLE for new ones to be found. speaking of Runescape 2, there's a very powerful weapon called the "godsword" that has a complicated way of being obtained. i forget the details, but it requires fighting multiple bosses in a high-level dungeon just for a CHANCE to get it, AND the entrance in in the middle of the Wilderness, the PVP area, so getting INTO the dungeon without getting killed by "griefer" players is nearly impossible!
i knew before watching pso had to be mentioned obviously along with FF, just nice to see OG PSO 1&2 get the love it deserves. Finding a rare weapon was one thing in ff, but geting that red box.. just felt different even if it was a photon drop, just seeing the red boosted serotonin levels like crazy.
The story of the 79 coins in shadow of the colossus is really cool. Basically, a ton of people spent years in the original game trying to find one last secret, but to no avail. Because of that the creators of the remake put in those 79 coins that lead to the secret chamber where that sword is, and they even named the coins after one of the main guys on that hunt to find the last secret in the game. His name is literally in the credits of the game. Shows how much they cared about the game and it’s community. There’s a really great video someone did about it. If you just search for it you’ll easily find it
He didn’t even mention you have to beat the game at least four times to get your stamina bar high enough to climb up to the garden/bridge area to get one of the coins for that weapon. Amazing game, tedious collectible!
@@_Lewd - i think u even have to climb and jump off the bridge twice to reach a couple coins, after u get the parachute. which is itself tough to obtain through hard time attack mode.
Jacob Geller did a great video about the entire story, came here to comment the same!
Familiar with the story, maybe il try to go one day for that sword myself out of nostalgia, honestly its the only weapon on this list that sounds reasonable to get.
Lol say what!? I would habe given up ages ago
The Pendulum of Doom was so desired because it was one of three weapons in the game with a 4.00 second attack speed. Most "slow" weapons topped out at 3.80. A slower attack speed was desirable for some classes whose skills scaled with weapon damage, so regardless of how fast or slow the weapon's regular swings were, hitting an instant skill that derived its damage from a slow but hard-hitting weapon was very potent. It also was equippable at level 39, the highest level for the 30-39 PvP bracket, so it was about the best weapon for Shamans and Paladins who wanted to play in that specific level range.
I saw that weapon speed and as an old warrior main I salivated. The mortal strikes that weapon must have dished out! And with a level 39 necessary to equip, that's a perfect twink weapon.
I had paid so much gold for one on my 39 twink enhancement shammy and it was absurd lol
The pants from ZF still had a lower drop rate of like .001% though. Doom was definitely more sought after though.
@@Coronus53 What pants?
@@tomsettle2631 Think he's on about spellshock leggings. Insanely powerful caster legs for their level, had them drop during a boosting run for a friend during mid/late TBC(2008).
There is an exotic in Destiny 1 that only one player ever got: Fate of All Fools.
Because this weapon was given out by Bungie to one specific player.
I forgot about that. That was pretty cool of bungie to do that for that kid
however, although some could consider it dark to say, the weapon is about getting headshots, and the term "fool" is usually given to someone who acts unwise.. and it was given to someone who went through brain surgeory
I remember some players getting super pissed about that too. I vaguely recall a fair number of players complaining that they were not able to obtain that weapon and demanded that Bungie add it into the game for everyone to obtain despite Bungie coming out and saying that they only gave one out to this one specific player because the player was suffering from some form of brain cancer and the player used Destiny as a coping tool to help them deal with their health situation.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 Did he survive?
@@Freedomerider yes, that's why he got it
I actually got the Seitengrat bow in FF12. It was a pain, but the rng manipulation actually works. Getting the chest to spawn was the hardest part. Once I knew it was there, I had to watch an NPC child run back and forth a specific number of times on the deck, and then open the chest and I got it. The bow itself is also invisible. I think it was a dev tool or a scrapted item that was never meant for players to find.
it's indeed a dev tool. The game also got an invisible shield which is way easier to get (although also RNG reliant), and iirc there might also be an invisible sword. Though the other dev tool weapons aren't as OP as the Seitengrat bow is
I also got the seitengrat in my playthrough also. It does make the difficulty tank and it becomes majorly easier after obtaining it but if I remember it was almost , 3 days of 5-8 hour play sessions of doing nothing but sky ferry, invisible chest spawning to actually finally find it!
@@TheRelaxedGamerimagine getting three of them and just coasting through the whole game....
@@Alex-wo2jk Possible once you have the RNG set up for it, and honestly wouldn't take that long, but even just one of them is enough to cheese the entire game if you just want a casual playthrough. Also, don't step on any confusion traps with three S bows haha

I remember the Cobra from Borderlands 2. Based on Borderlands Wiki “ Every time one of Pete's burners drops a sniper rifle, if that weapon spawns with purple rarity then it has a .88% chance (not 88%, but 0.88%: that's 88 in 10,000) to be the Cobra. This makes Cobra one of the rarest drops in the game.” I farm it for weeks me and my brother then I just give up.
Got one. Random drop. I played that game for a little bit. Like, just a lite bit. Only a little. Did I say I didn't play that game that much, right? :)
I was playing BL2 the other day. if you're on PC I'll drop you a cobra anytime :)
I was gonna say the perfect hyde of terra. If I remember correctly it’s one of the rarest items in the game. Even more rare than a 94 sham or a cobra. Now…. Perfect cobra. Pretty sure that blows anything out of the water borderlands related

@@Bunged- I suffered grindy drop rates on BL2 for a long, long time. Eventually started modding the game with the gib tool instead

In the original Guild Wars there's a unique weapon that no one had gotten for 10 years, only recently being discovered about a year ago. It doesn't have a crazy low drop rate, but it wasn't found until a dev hinted to pay attention to some specific NPC dialogue.

They said the dev left it there for testing purposes but then forgot about it which explains the missing textures.
When you described Excalibur maybe being held onto by a dev, I can't help but think about "the sword of 1000 truths" from the South Park WoW episode as the next closest thing to that reality.
That’s episode is still legendary.
SHIT BUCKET MOM!!!
The really miniscule drop rates for these weapons annoy the hell outta me. That's why typically in mmos I only go off of gear that I can eventually earn and get at a vendor or exchange.
I remember back in 2006 during my Final Fantasy XI playing days the hardest/rarest NM to spawn was the Almighty Apkallu. Too many conditions had to be met and not all the servers met it. It also had one of the (probably THE most difficult) drop for an item: The Birdman Cape. Sure it wasn't the greatest cape to have but the rarity was astronomical. Today... anyone can have it😒
this is awesome I never read this wiki entry, supposedly the conditions for spawning were relaxed in May 2011
Man it was so much fun and highly addictive 😂. I won't touch a MMO after that lol.
I miss FFXI, currently playing FF XIV since original V1.0 pre ARR.
I spent off and on 10 years trying to form an alliance for, and get the 5% chance, drop for Vivian Ring from Voluptuous Vivian. Finally, when level cap was raised, I leveled thf to 99 (pre119 era), and soloed it about 12 times over the course of a few weeks before it finally dropped. Obsessive, I know.
Argus made me uninstall but valkurm emp was the most fun i had hunting. Trolling with flee
FFXI grinds were no joke. Coordinating spawn times for key items, then camping for the actual boss, farming the materials etc. As a casual player, it took me a good 5 years just to unlock the first stage of one of those relic weapons on my ninja. Want even usable at that stage. Would have taken at least another 2 years part time farming to unlock next stage.
Enjoyed collecting the coins in SotC. Was nice having more of a reason to complete the time trials other than having something to mess around with while fighting the colossi. Spent 3 days collecting them after a couple months of nerding out on the game and finding a little over 30
What was harder? The 79 coins (I never played the ps4 version) or getting into the garden of eden(?) after playing the game like 14(?) times so your stamina bar is high enough?
@@trentreffner5699 the coins forsure. The coins can only be collected after having completed after collecting all the time trials for the rewards. The parachute is needed for several of them. The sword for collecting the coins was worth it though. Considering SotC is one of my favorite games, I was glad they did something with the door that everyone was hoping did something in the original.
The climb for the garden only needs about 3 playthroughs as long as you try to collect lizard tails here and there. You also get stamina for killing colossi. I was around the 8th or 9th colossi on my third playthrough to get max stamina. You can get to the garden before max but you have to be perfect.

@@HZRDousLucifer will have too check out that game (Bloodborne). Thanks for the response after so long :D Anyways, you talk about time trials... don't get me started on the JP. I remember the one that looked like a turtle and buddy just grabbed the foot, it rears up and throws his ass a mile in the air to come back down, grab at the right time (to avoid fall damage) and started stab stab stab :D
@@trentreffner5699 only tactic like that that I was able to do was launching off the sword on the 3rd one. Aside from finding the dead zones where you wouldn't shake. Only reason I got the trials for the Cat, the Goat (
The bearded one, and the Boar. If you dont know what I'm on about, theres a spot just off of most of the glyphs where you can still get the damage while also being able to avoid dealing with the shake and wobble of the colossi. Feels amazing when you can get it. Suggest watching Distortion2's speed runs for the game. Can see some of the amazing plays that are possible.
Bloodborne is another favorite of mine. From the people who do the Dark Souls games. Its similar in difficulty, but has some original aspsects to it. Another favorite of mine. Its got more of a gothic, victorian environment to it. People compare the new game Lies of P to it. It has a darker atmosphere to it. Severe eldritch horror vibes. The creator was massively inspired by H.P. Lovecraft while working on it. Just like he used Berserk for the inspiration behind Dark Souls.
Im a Soulslike junky lol even been playing the new Lords of the Fallen recently
I remember struggling to get a zodiac spear in ff12. And Excalibur was also very hard to get but it was more based on navigating a difficult, maze/puzzle-like map. In zodiac age it’s obtained in a different way, but without a guide in ff12 it’s damn hard to find.
Zodiac Spear is completely missable without a guide. And even with a guide, the one in Henne Mines nears impossible to get without RNG manipulation (same with most chests on Cerebi Steppe tbh). Also don't forget the Mina dagger, it's a super rare drop from a rare game which only appears if you chain hundreds of enemies within that crystal area.
Get Excalibur 2 in Final Fantasy 9 and let me know which is more difficult. The answer Final Fantasy 9 Excalibur 2

Hey man I have to correct you here. The Death's Web is one of the rarest item in Diablo 2 but the drop chance is nowhere near as bad as you showed here because you are not using the drop calculator correctly. What is shown here is the drop rate of the item on play 1, from a normal mobs, with 0 magic find.
However, when D2 players really want to farm a death's web, we will be target farming it by killing a superunique monster called "Pindleskin" with around 600 magic find, and the odds of dropping a death's web, according to the drop calculator you used, is 1 in 56310. The barbarian skill "find item" will give you a 75% chance for a second set of drops from the monster which means you will probably find a Death's web every 30000 pindle runs and one pindle run takes about 20 seconds. It's still one hell of a grind but not impossible for us no-life D2 players.
This 👌
This. Plus, even if we ignore farming methods, Tyrael's Might is rarer regardless.
Most of this video is uninformed bull$h!t. Most of it's not even remotely accurate
@@TheWeedlover2 The video creator gameranx acknowledged that... and specifically said this list was about weapons...
Agreed. taking quest drops out (since they are boosted and not repeatable) Just running a single person MF game with a measly 400 MF the drop for D-Web is more like 1:45,000 which is certainly still rare.
I think the most rarest item/s I own in any game are the original 343 Industries skins for both the Assault Rifle and Magnum in Halo 5: Guardians. This were weapons skins only intended for 343 employees but when they were first implemented into the game, for a short period, players had a chance of obtaining this skins randomly through Gold REQ Packs. Once 343 released these skins were accidently added into the live REQ pool, they quickly removed them from the pool but did allow the players who managed to get their hands on them to keep the skins. I know some players were lucky enough to get the one of the skins and in some cases, both of them, like myself. Though in the time I had played Halo 5, I had only really ran into a handful of players that had at least one of the skins. I am not sure what the total count is for players who managed to get the skins is today but I recall that it was still a rather low amount of players making them still pretty rare seeing as players weren't suppose to get them in the first place.
Oh yeah, I have those skins as well. They were actually added back into the item pool, so it is now possible to get them. It was added back in after 2 years after it got accidentally released.
In Witcher 3, there’s a silver sword called Tor Zireael. It’s the silver “sister” to the steel sword called Tor Lara, but is far more elusive. I’m not referring to the Zireael sword that you give to Ciri, but a relic lootable sword. It’s rare to the point that some consider the sword a myth, there’s very few images online of the sword, and there’s no reliable guide to finding it. Most of the more rare relic swords are tied to one or two locations, and no one seems to reliably know where Tor Zireael is. And it’s one of the best silver swords in the game. While it’s damage is dependent on the same factors as any other relic sword, it has the bonus stats of 25% Igni intensity, 15% Quen intensity, 15% chance to freeze, and 3-5% chance of instakill.
Imagine getting any of these weapons after hundreds and hundreds of hours of playtime and you try to tell your friends you Did it, but than you realize you have No Friends
I'm throwing the eagle bearer from the division 2, you had to beat an entire raid for a .5% drop chance. Oh and it was only able to drop on your first clear of the week so if it didn't drop you had to wait an entire week to try again.
And thats why I prefer a super difficult, almost impossible challenge to earn a guaranteed item over RNG any day. Its been a few years since I player The Division 2
@@BigMobe yeah RNG is a biotch, games like the division and destiny although fun to play but really annoying when trying to get the best gear in the game.
You would not understand the gravity of the meaning behind the sword in Shadow of the Colossus. Its a culmination of players desire to find more for years in the original game, writing entire book sized theories and guides. The point of the sword isn't the sword. It's the quest to find them. The coins are also placed in a way they reference the numerous theories on possible positions of never implemented colossi and similar.
Its not the sword, its the search. It's about seeing those hidden doors open and walking down the stairs and seeing the sword and witnessing the culmination of the stories finally being given light and merit by the devs.
That is what it's about.
I still don't think I understand what it's about. Can you explain further?
Ill add in, if you want more information on the SotC sword watch "The Decade-Long Quest For Shadow of the Colossus’ Last Secret" by Jacob Geller,
Was looking for this comment
are you saying its about the sword?
It’s about a sword??
Having played FFXI from lvl 50 cap until ToAU expansion, I can tell you no one ever did find this or knew about it until it was said during an interview. It was patched out of the game when Rise of the Zilart was released since the plan was to add endgame weapons known as relic weapons of which Excalibur became one of them. The interview stated had the item ever been fished up, they would not have made a relic weapon named Excalibur and it would have been called something else. This confirmed it was never attained. Modders of the game have proven it is not in the game files any longer as the ID associated to it no longer has an actual model and is a blank place holder. Something they do any time they remove data from the game.
That's pretty nuts. Excalibur or some rare sword like it was just sitting in the ocean but it was never found. God, I miss FFXI.
Yeah it's actually kind of insane that they'd literally show the FFXIclopedia page for Excalibur, but didn't bother scrolling down even once, where they'd literally see a section "How to Obtain"
I don't think people even USE Excalibur any more, the other Relic weapons they added (Mythic, Aeonic, etc) were better. Excalibur is mostly inventory slot -1 now.
@@_mnejing This was in relation to an item that existed before Dynamis was added to the game, thus before the relic weapon version.
The item was a dummy place holder for an item that was attainable only by fishing and at a very low chance until it was patched out. No one actually ever obtained the item before it was patched out. Now only the relic weapon version exists.
Diablo 2 does have the magic finding stat though, which makes the chances a bit better. Also, im pretty sure that Astreons iron ward and Mang songs lesson has more or less the same dropchance as Deaths web.
Also, the item can drop from several mobs in a pretty small area. So while that drop rate is from each mob, it probably gets a bit higher as you get several chances in the same run of an area. F.ex. in the pits you face up to 8+3 unique monsters which each have that individual chance to drop the item. I wont bother with the math.
I've found 3 in Durante of hate and 5 in worldstone keep, all while on solo
I just can't look over how he butchered Tyraels name
I spent a VERY long time to get this on my lower level bg ret pally. I do not remember how many runs but I was farming this nonstop for a solid 4+ months. Loved every second of it because that weapon allowed you to one shot any other player around your level and sometimes higher when everything procced right. Didn’t realize how rare it was until after the first week 😵💫
Really cool to see FF9 listed in this. I’d just like to add for the run we don’t skip FMVs. If you use fast disc speed on a PS2 it cuts out probably 15-20 mins at least depending on the model of PS2
Are the runners normally NTSC or PAL? I was interested in submitting a run, is it SDA where runs can be submitted?
One that has stuck with me was the Magician’s Quest Weapon from EverQuest, called the Orb of Mastery. Think it was the most difficult Quest weapon at the time. Required 30+ items to collect from various zones. The rough part was required items from multiple Raid Dungeons, remember Plane of Mischief, and Plane of Hate off the top of my head.
Yeah the necro epic weapon in Everquest was really rough too. Along with a few others.. No epic weapon pieces in Plane of Mischief though.. That was a Velious zone and all the epic weapons came out in Kunark
I remember doing many Plane of Air zones. I think it was for my mage epic. /shrug when you are in a guild you end up doing lots of those zones anyways helping many slog through that stuff. Oh my I remember my Plane of Air weekend raids.. /sigh not sure good times, but definably very remember able.
One that struck me was pre nerfed Circlet of shadows.
@@steveheffner I wasn’t fortunate enough to find a guild capable. For me I think I got hooked to an unhealthy level in EQ, and I’m not entirely convinced that game was made to be enjoyed. Almost like it was designed to be obsessed over.
@@DonkThikkness Yea I didn't realize how toxic my relationship was with EQ till I left WoW.. Yea you read that right, it took me leaving EQ to go to something less toxic to then jump into a toxic mess again, and then come through the other side going well.. Now I know better and recognize it much easier when I play games. One of the reasons I tend to not stay in MMO's for a long period of time. Still have lots of memories where I stayed too long, like in an abusive relationship.
To be fair thou, the toxic points depends on the mmo. eq was more a toxic timesync. Wow a toxic never ending grind, and then the community. Some games it is a toxic cash shop. So on and so forth.
Back in the day everyone was using a duped kings sword of haste in Diablo. One day I was visiting Wirt and he was selling a Kings Mace of haste. It was almost as good as the sword damage wise but it was just awesome to say it wasn't duped. Up to that point I'd seen regular king weapons but nothing with haste. And the %s were almost perfect too.
I miss using open battlenet and using hero editor lol
Do you remember those hacked charms that glitched your game making it impossible to drop or leave town?
ah you hit the nostalgia zone of my brain on this one... yea when the hacks ruined it
Wow! Never had King's nor wanted one, but I remember being bragged to about it.
I loved that game... was in a relationship probably 6mos longer than I should've been because of it, though
Ah yes and Godly Plate Of The Whale
Thanks for mentioning Phantasy Star. I played PSU for several years and the limited drop events were ridiculous. For two years I wanted to get a weapon called the Love Cannon which the material board only dropped during the white day event. It never dropped for me but I was able to trade for the mats giving up way more than it was really worth. Then there was the 500 Spread Needle shotguns that went to the top players in an event that I was not able to get lol. That game has tons of rare and basically impossible to get items lol
I just saw this video and agree that pso had a ton of rare items. Surprised sealed j-sword or tsumikiri wasn't an entry.
you remember the heaven punisher in pso? i think its the rarest item ever in gaming
I was shocked to see PSO mentioned but also very happy. I do wish they talked more about the actual good shit like guld/milla or even a goddam invisible guard
I literally have the Dreamcast mag in PSO2 which amuses me lol... I don't think it's as rare as he thinks it is, it's pretty rare but not that rare. It cost a hefty price but not an unreasonable one.
So glad you listed It World of Warcraft , I've been playing for 15 years and some of the weapons/mounts are teeth pulling amount of time to get with low drop chance. I've never dedicated farmed that weapon, but even still after 15 years it's never dropped for me. I think one day WoW deserves its own video, it literally made MMO's what they are today. Would be cool to see.
I wouldn't go that far. There were many MMO's before WOW that made MMO's including WOW what it was too. Everquest Online, Ultima Online, Final Fantasy XI, Runescape etc. all came before WOW. Even today, Runescape classic and FF14 both have more active players than WOW does. WOW wasn't that special.
@@aisukage1990 fuck you must be so intelligent....
There is a few items in RuneScape I just gave up on getting because of drop rates, cost and time needed.
Lol I feel you. I was wondering if the jar of darkness was on the list.
3rd age longsword, 3rd age bow, 3td age wand, 3rd age druidic wand, 3rd age pickaxe and 3rd age axe are all 1 in 313168 per reward roll each. One (master) clue has 5 to 7 reward rolls, where performing on absolute maximum efficiency with maximum stats and gear, around 2 master clues per hour are possible to complete. Where if you even get one of these items it feels like winning a lottery, imagine trying to collect a of them (and you can get dupes).
This my friend Falcon is why back in the day we saved all our allowance money (and later our part time job money) to buy a Game Genie and Gameshark/Codebreaker/Action Replay. Because some of these rare drop rates, hidden weapons and bosses were so low, so hidden or so hard, we literally would sweat and save just so we could type in a code and bypass the headache.
Come to think of it, we probably worked harder and longer hours just saving up for those devices back when I was young than if I had sat there and grinded it out... ha....
🤝
You should check out the mount drop rates in WoW...
It took me 5yrs of running the same dungeon everyday to finally get my Blue-Proto Drake
👏
haha yup.. took me 3 1/2 years of solid ZG grinding to finally get the ZG tiger .. i did this every week for years
I had a friend who spent 5 years going for some mount in that game. It was the most important thing to him all through high school. It became his identity and just about the only thing he was excited to talk about. I don't understand it and never will and it actually ended our friendship. That game is not good for addictive personalities. He's 30 years old now and basically on deaths door.
@@SmickyD I agree with that and I hope they fix their life before it's too late
@@BenWebster84 Since we're on the subject:
When that game came out I had friends that disappeared. Three guys we knew moved into an apartment together. I hadn't seen them again in six months. Gone. Vanished. When i finally found them there was a full life sized storm trooper playing poker in the dining room next to you when you came in. There was no furniture (real furniture). The coffee table was made of domino's pizza boxes. The tv stand was cinder block and particle board. In the garage were three computers lined up. There they were.
How you didn't mention that the sword of dormin was works of years collective community efforts to uncover the final secret of the game (which actually nonexistent) is a crime. The developer was moved by how passionate the community and made the sword as a reward in the remake. It is also to honor the first guy who initiates the effort who already passed away (his name is in credits)
Wow player here, pendulum of doom isn't very great, but it is damn rare. The 0.06% drop rate is accurate, but it only drops from 3 mobs in the entire dungeon.
The item is mostly used as vanity/transmorg item nowadays.
I was lucky enough to get it on classic, was cool to see drop and wield, but the item isn't max lvl and a few levels later you could get better ones allready. But it was nice for twinks (chars that stayed lower lvl with highest gear on that lvl possible)
You know it’s a good video when my favorite falcon is on it
Not to be weird but I could listen to him talk all day lol
Captain Falcon? Where??
agreed
Oh man, the Dreamcast Mag. Was not expecting to see an item on this list that I actually have. PSO and the Dreamcast are fond memories from my youth that I will always cherish.
There were a lot of mags, like Sonic etc too...
I played the heck out of that game, even online, on the GameCube version
I wish they'd port it because I'd play the offline version so much
I apparently had one too in PSO2, had no idea it was rare, don't even remember where I got it from. I saw it in this list and had to boot up my PSO2 to see and yep, there's my Dreamcast mag item.
@@patrickmarsh2538 I mean, there are still servers to play it online, and as long as you owned it you could play it on the gamecube or wii.
Sir I wish you to know that I envy your dreamcast MAG. I loved the Dreamcast, it was too pure and good for this world and died before it's time.
I also feel the same way about the lucky assholes who backed Warframe early to get the founder exclusive Excalibur Prime frame. Only wway to have gotten it.
@bulbafett5001
A fellow dreamcast lover, hell yeah brother! At least on it and gamecube the action replay/ gameshark exist so its technically still possible to get .
And I know the knowledge is useless but if it makes you feel better, I and a lot of the warframe founders complained on behalf of the community to let everyone have access to Excalibur Prime. Just give us founders something minor no one wouldn't care about. It was a straight up no an no detail why. I think we then came to the conclusion it probably had to do with it being straight up money related and the studio could be sued over it given you had to pay a heafty price for it more so including the weapons in the heigher tiers.
There was a sword that only mods could equip in Ragnarok online. It added a ton of stats and skills they didn't need since they already had max stats, all skills. I got hit with it once during a special event, and I got double attacked for more HP than it was possible to have ☠️
I used to play ragnarok online a ton back in the day, one of my buddies got us both mod jobs on a decently big private server and I remember there being a holy Lance that was also mod command only, the owner of the server had all of the mod accounts wearing the angel wings and carry either the holy Lance or the sword so as to appear like archangels, miss that game sometimes
You talking about Balmung?
yeah i think only Balmung fits the description, it is a fiery swords with 255 damages and raise a lot of stats, there are also a hammer that have 255 damages but i forget the name.
@@chuckj8774 i feel like private servers were infinitely more popular for RO than any other MMO ever made. hell, even my older brother ran one.
Some of the weapon drops in Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2 are unbelievably rare (ignoring limited release items).
Additionally, every weapon drops with random additive bonuses in 3 of 5 possible categories that correspond to the 4 different enemy types/species in the game. The 5th modifier is the most desired and the least likely to populate on any drop. This modifier adds 'Hit' which effectively stacks as accuracy on top of the weapon's base accuracy + your character's base accuracy. Possible additive bonus range is 0-100 in increments of 5, and all but the 5th additive can potentially be boosted up to 100 unless it drops with 90 Hit and is 'tekked' to +100 Hit.
I’m the only other person here who understands what you just said. There is always something to hunt in PSO, Heavens Punisher forever eludes my Bluefull don’t even mention Yasha. One of the best games ever made in my opinion.
@@JohnSmith-fe3di I never got my Psycho Wand in PSO ;_; and it took me 7 years to get it on PSO2 lmao, when I got it it was already useless.
The rare drops in PSOver2 on DC were worse, many had drop rates in the millions
And of course the occasional heart attack when the Delbiter dropped a photon drop. Ahh good times.
Pso2 has quite a lot of weapon drops that are so insanely rare, for example all of the original "OT" weapons can still drop, their stats no longer compare to the "NT" weapons that are now standard, so they're pretty much useless but good for showing off... if you check the drops stats for certain runs the drop-rate seems to be around 1/7,000,000 (of getting 1, not each) from specific lvl 75+ urgent quests.
I've never seen one actually drop and only know of a single person that has obtained one.
3:45 that trick on skipping on PS1
I never thought I'd hear that one again
After the weird stories of July video, I'm surprised the Tiny Tina's Wonderland weapon, Ascended Warlock's Amalgam of Glorious Purpose wasn't included. 1 in 85,000,000,000 chance of finding it.
I think that was finding it with perfect passive rolls wasn't it? and even then I think the 85b was miscalculated and higher than it actually was, I think 1b for rolling it with all the passives you want was closer to the mark.
I just assumed that was going to be #1 on this list.
1 in 1 chance if you get tired of farming it and just edit your save file lol
that game just came out. and ifit exists already. its not rare
I had gotten a Gjallarhorn _before_ I realized it was quite rare, early Destiny. It wasn’t for around a week after that I started seeing videos of people losing their collective minds when they finally found one. Took the excitement outta it since I didn’t know what I had lol.
Imagine me grinding, early Destiny, and seeing it in Xur's weekly inventory and saying "man I don't want some rocket launcher, I want an AR or something" skipping it, then seeing all the hype about it and that Bungie was permanently taking it off Xur's inventory rolls 🙃
@@netoisthebest bro so many people thought that. Little did they know.. lol
I got a Gjallarhorn in year 1 after doing VOG raid. I didn’t know anything about the gun but all my friends were freaking out that I got it. I was like, “it’s just a rocket launcher what’s the big deal” 😂😂
@@netoisthebest hahaha i bought additional Gjallahorn when Xur Sold them so that I didn't have to swap it between my characters anymore. Beast of a rocket launcher - especially before the nerfs. Making me feel nostalgic and missing my OG Ice Breaker too 😢
The Eve Online entry seems underestimated. At least in the other games you have a calculated percentile that you can obtain rares but Eve is different on how they can be obtained and later destroyed if foolish, which has happened.
Yeah but then this would have been a list with just the rarest AT ships lol
Excalibur is actually a REMA weapon in FFXI once game cap was at 75. These weapons are even harder to get.... requiring 1000s of in game hours of grinding+
I think why the sword of kings stands out is that almost everyone had the official guidebook while playing through Earthbound so you knew what you were missing out on the whole time, there was no big discovery about it years later.
Title:10 weapons you never found
Me:IS THAT A CHALLENGE
I can imagine someone, someday selling the fishing Excalibur (from number 1) for millions, like a CS-GO skin or something 😂
so that little green circle on the item description is "EX" meaning it can't be traded between players, they'd have to sell the account XD
I have it and it both can’t be traded and it’s level required to equip is 20 higher than mine at max level. I don’t understand how to equip LOL
@@xbon1 Yeah my comment was more a joke than realty, based on how rare it is, kinda sucks if you can't equip and use it lol.
If you do a part 2 you should mention the Cobra Sniper from Borderlands 2. There is only 1 place to get it in the burnout, and in order to get it the ads you kill must first role a rare weapon, that rare weapon must role as a sniper, that sniper must role as a torgue sniper that torgue sniper then must role with the Cobra barrel that makes it the unique. All in all has about a 0.88%.... I don't have one dispite farming for over a year. (I gave up)
I see I found a person of culture. Lol. The level is also called "The Beatdown" and I kid you not in the 10 years I've been playing BL2 I've never seen The Cobra drop. Hell when I first saw one I thought it was a modded weapon. Lol. Also I'd say "The Twister" is almost as rare since it's dropped by an enemy that has to level up to spawn, AND said enemy ONLY exists in maybe 2 areas. I've only gotten Triple O to spawn TWICE! Thank goodness he dropped The Twister the 2nd time (post patch) although it had terrible parts. Lol.
SOTC always felt like there was more to it, like something was hidden. Even when they came out and said there wasn’t, and even had concept arts of scrapped colossi from certain areas that clearly looked like there were supposed to be a boss. Amazing game.
The Seitengrat took me over 12 hours of reloading the same save to actually get it.
Zodiac spear, which has a 1% drop chance, took me 2 hours of reloading the chest. It sucks too because by the time you get both these weapons, there’s only a handful of enemies left that don’t die instantly to it.
I wish there was a NG+
In Destiny 1, there is a gun that only one person owns called Fate of All Fools. I believe the developers gifted it to that player. That's pretty rare.
DO you mean the person with a medical disease?
@@squeaphily7325 I believe that's correct.
@@MagusKali I heard about that gun. It's the exo stranger one but better and looks like a rabbit? I don't remember it too well. It might be yellow.
It was basically a early Jade rabbit and he got it because he had a brain injury so his movement was slow and it's a slow firing precision rifle
@@jamesdonoughue4557 oh thats what i was thinking of.
I did the Excalibur 2 on PAL with no FMV skips or any glitches at all - the speed runners use a PS2 and run it on double disc speed to save a lot of time too; the loading times throughout the game are a huge time drain. They’re also running on NTSC which runs even quicker again than PAL, so it’s made even easier.
Doing the E2 run on PAL, without double disc speed or FMV skips was the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done, it was long thought to be impossible in fact (albeit plenty of others have now done it).
Some weapons in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was such a pain to get. You had to get certain mission items and pray the certain mission eventually drops.
not only in FFT advance, the ones you have to catch in a certain dungeon with the catch ninja ability were a pain, also in FFT you could get cloud strife from FF7, and then you have to get his sword wich was ridiculous (sorry for the little broken english)
I seem to recall there being weapons in PSO that had a 1/65k drop chance ....from rare enemies that only had like a 2% chance to spawn
Not to mention if you needed a weapon with ata% or you wouldn't be able to hit anything with it....
Nice Video! I think the chromatic sword and teebu's blazing longsword (both from world of warcraft) deserves a place on this list too, cause there also incredible rare :D
The original version of FF12 had a weapon that was even harder to get than the ones mentioned on this list. It was easier to get in The Zodiac Age remake, but in the original version you had to NOT open a series of chests for a chance for it to appear in a specific chest in Nabudis. There's absolutely nothing that tells you not to open these easy to find, random chests in various locations. Even if you do avoid opening those chests, you CAN'T be wearing the Diamond Armlet, which is counterintuitive because the purpose of the accessory is to increase your chances of getting rare treasure. FF games are infamous for stuff like this. Let's not even discuss the Adamant Armor from FF4.
Adamant Armors are at least obtainable. The pink tails are 1/65535 drops from a 1/256 enemy, but that's still within scope of obtaining compared to some of these.
For me, the adamant armor from Final Fantasy 2/4. To get it, you need to trade in the pink tail. To get the pink tail you had to fight the pink puff. If I remember the pink puff only appeared in one room at the end of the game. It had a 1/64 appearance rate and a 1/64 drop rate. On the SNES bank in the 90s I farmed them trying to get it. I gave up after my 128th run in with them. So I never saw that damn pink tail.
That’s a 1/4096 chance
i looked at a video of getting the armor, it looked like such a pain in the ass. also on the wiki talking about the armor they had this fun fact: "The Adamant Armor apparently plays around with some extended flags in the SNES version, and removing the Adamant Armor after having it equipped on a character once will make that character very weak (4x damage taken) to Fire, Ice, and Lightning elements. If the player manage to get this armor, they should equip it to a character and never remove it."
reminds me of the cobra rifle in borderlands 2
if you dont know the rifle can only drop from non badass burner enemies so you can only find it in one specific section of the game
then the enemy has to drop a legendary (already a rare event)
then that item has a one in 12 chance of being a rifle
then it has to roll the cobra over all the other rifles in game
its one of the rarest guns in the game
Ye but still easy to get you just continuously grind the game I did the same thing in borderlands 2 to get the infinity gun to use the infinite Xp exploit its possible to do with any gun tho ye it does take way longer with the cobra
I'm playing a private server for Luna Online called Odyssey Luna. They have an added feature called Monster Cores, which are very rare items that most enemies in the game drop. Each regular mob from level 1 to level 96 has a unique core. You can equip these cores to get stat boosts. Each core has a drop chance of 0.05% or 1 in 2000. There are items and even some buffs you can get to increase the drop chances, but the best you can realistically do is around 0.1% after boosting. There are a total of 124 Cores. I have successfully collected all of them as a personal challenge.
8:20 The Diamond Armlet gives you a completely different treasure table. Most chests have 2 items you can get without the Armlet equipped and 2 separate items you can get with it equipped. For Seitengrat, it's only part of the Armlet table.
Didn't know my Dreamcast Mag in PSO2 is rare, now I'm glad I got it.
For real tho, although idk how accurate that info is. I have it too
There are so many super rare drops in FF11 its crazy. It wasnt just with weapons either. Some of the materials you needed to craft super rare weapons were super rare. Ever tried getting Jaggedy Eared Jacks boots or was it a charm?
King Behemoth for Defending
Ring in the 75era... only a handful of us had one for years back then.
Jack was the Rabbit Charm, Steal+1
The rng manipulator technique for FF12 isn't so bad to do and the seitengrat is so worth it it destroys almost everything save for maybe yiazmat
Agreed. But I wouldn't recommend anyone getting it on their first playthrough though, it's so ridiculously overpowered :P
Hey dude love the vid! Just wanted to add, I've just downloaded ff 9 on the ps4 and it has these 2 options that were never on the ps1, one of which is a 3x speed that doesn't affect ur gametime! The cut scenes are still normal speed but all other game play is 3x speed! The other option is like a 'godmode" button where u take no damage, use no mana, theres no cool downs on summons and ur limit is always up! There's not much point in playing the game with that on but I just thought if players were trying to obtain Excalibur 2 that would make it very easy!
You should have mentioned the godweapons from Ragnarok Online. You need a strong Guild to conquer castles in the Guild vs Guild fights, then upgrade and defend these castles for probably months, just to have a chance to drop one of the many godpieces needed to craft these weapons. Not to mention, if your castle gets taken by another guild, even if you immediatly retake it, the castle will drop many upgrade lvls so you will have wasted weeks/months. And also you will become a main target if you actually have an upgraded castle. And every castle drops a specific crafting material, so you have to conquer, upgrade and defend more than just one castle. You can trade these crafting materials but the prices for them are enormous, even top guilds have to think about if they are willing to pay for them. Well thats how it was back in the day. Dont know how it is these days.
Also, most droprates for weapons and cards are in the 0,1 - 0,01 % area. The boss cards are especially notable, they also have a 0,01% droprate but these bosses have long spawntimers, many hours, and you have to compete with rival players for these bosses. So these bosscards are extremely rare, even if a server is years old there will be only a few out there.
God items put most rare items to shame.
There were about one or two of each on the entire server, and it was very well known who had access to those.
It took entire alliances of multiple guilds to defend those castles, and crafting any of them would be broadcast server-wide.
Heck, even if you had the materials, you had to wait for the whole server to progress a server-wide quest chain to reach a certain phase (similar to the gates of aq in wow) before the game would let you craft exactly one of them. After that, the quest chain would reset all the way back to square one.
There were also slotted sunglasses, which were extremely rare on the european server.
These were literally unobtainable and the developer explicitly did not want these to even exist.
They only did because the american publisher hacked them in without permission.
The only way to get one was to have a us player transfer to eu during the one and only server transfer that has ever happened and have them trade it to you.
A single slotted sunny was also given out during an event held by game masters, and even that was probably one of the transfered ones.
In Fallout 3, the Firelance, which spawns from a very low chance encounter with a crashing UFO, was the only weapon I was never able to obtain.
Amazing gun it'd jus 1 shot everything 😭😂😂
I remember playing the game for hundreds of hours as a kid and then just randomly getting it playing totw and being so surprised
Luck and reloading unique areas got it for me. But when it dropped, I couldn't find it until one of the enemies picked it up and used it on me and THEN I got it Lol.
I obtained it AND LOST IT because I didn't know how rare it was... Then got tired of trying to get it on a later run😢
Ive found Death's Webs when I was playing that game but there are way more rare items in Diablo 2 like Zod rune and jewelers monarch of deflecting
Zod shouldn't be as rare as people claim. . . you can transmute your way up to it. . .it just takes a while.
@@hallaloth3112 cubing still takes longer than finding a death's web
@@hallaloth3112 uh yeah... sure if you have a bot running Countess runs on hell 24/7 but I am sure you can still find way more Death's Webs from Pindleskin using a bot
@@Hobbes4ever I did as a 13 year old kid with runes I picked up playing normally with a few transfers between characters to keep the ladder going. . . I'm not saying it isn't rare. . .but that's more because its tedious to do that way.
@@hallaloth3112 From what I have read the amount of time it takes to find or cube a Zod rune is quite a bit longer than finding a Death's Web. The only reason why Zod runes were cheap on the trade market was because of ppl were duping them and I don't think the game was able to remove duped runes.
Glad I checked this out to see that FFXI has made another Top 10 lists (the other was hardest boss). I don't believe that Excalibur can be fished up but I guess it could be real. Just wanted to comment that some of the ultra rare drops in FFXI were from one notorious (i.e. unique) monster that only spawn once ever 21-24 hours or even longer.
It never could, it's an old joke that Japanese players used to tell NA players.
I was going to say, this is super wrong lmao.
Reminds me of how I got a Tyreal's Might in Diablo 2 in middle school, wasn't aware of how rare it was and sold it to Larzuk because the stats were trash.
So nice that the remaster of FF 12 has a significantly easier way to get the Seitengrat. As someone that has beaten this game on PS2 dozens of times, getting this right away at the start of the game was totally worth another spin through the game.
I don't think that weapon existed on the PS2
final fantasy generally had ridiculous drop rates... even at lower levels of play
XI still has, piece of content came out about a year about and I know people who have ran it hundreds of times for dagger that rarely drops
@@CallMekwech yeah i remember when i wanted to get a specific loot drop at level 20, when i found the place where the mob spawns there were 20 other people waiting for it to spawn... and it spawned *once* every 24hrs with a drop rate of 0.3 or sth.
also, the first one who gets a hit in had the rights to kill it... so the atmosphere was rather intense ^_^°
Anyone remember how hard to find prince of Persia warrior within secret weapons, especially the one you have to find while get chased.
Still hate the Dahaka over that
Funny I'm playing that game now and using a walkthrough so I found a lot of them. But yeah its a pain to search during a action sequence.
finding op items in diablo2 is my favorite
It's not a weapon necessarily but getting the Knights of the Round materia in Final Fantasy 7 has to rank up there with some of the most difficult things to get in a video game as well. There's no way I would have ever figured out all the steps with the different breeds of chocobo and the different types of greens etc.
The steps to get Cloud in Final Fantasy Tactics too.... ugh, shoot me
Funny enough with FF11's Excalibur, it was the only way to learn the ability "Knights of the Round" for the Paladin or Red Mage. So basically, if you didn't have that weapon, you also do not have that ability.
The only rare weapon I ever went to the length of using an RNG method to get was one in Golden Sun. I'd have to look it up, but it was a monster random drop that was supposed to be the strongest stat wise, but I think it wasn't technically the best due to not having a skill iirc. Idk, it's been YEARS. I just remember following a weird guide where you had to do very specific things to get the right very rare spawn, then it was a very low chance to drop on top of that.
Love your vids falcon, your my favorite youtube keep it up.
Glad you like them! -falcon
Yes, my favorite type of top ten lists.
👌🏼
Eve online is a crazy game.. grinding 2-3 years just to make ur character playable. It's crazy where everything in the game is made by players. If you are not ready for stress and hardcore PvP along with exploration and mining.. everything is PvP even in the safest area u will be killed.. and u will be safe in high level ship which u need skills and those skills needs real time to get l . Some of them takes years to get a single skill.. if u r not ready to throw ur life in a game then this game is not for u.. even players said its not a game its a whole another life.. lol
The explosive flamer from fallout76, the game was patched so they can't drop anymore making the few that legitimately exist now really rare and expensive (only encountered one person using it in all the time I played the game and they were farming the scrochbeast Queen for about 4hrs before leaving the server).
From all things Phantasy Star Online/Universe you could have placed on this list, you chose a mag form from PSO2 that was an event item...I mean come on, you could have talked about Sealed J Sword, or Psycho Wand, or the one that was probably the rarest: the Guld Milla handguns because you HAD to find both, and Guld had a droprate of +-1/20880. Milla was not that bad iirc.
The crissaegrim from Castlevania SOTN should be on this list...that sword required hours of farming but it totally breaks the game once you get it
That thing was so satisfying to get! Killed many a Schmoo for that thing lol …
Is that the one that is super fast and hits like 3 times for every button press? I haven't played that game since I was a kid, but I remember getting some sort of random overpowered sword that completely made every other weapon obsolete
Maybe its because of luck but I dont think its too bad I managed to get 2 its fun to use but not terrible in comparison to the other weapons here it does shatter the game though and in harmony of despair having 2 with the succubus spirit is so much fun, active life steal with health replacing mp and those 2 swords is so much fun just spam magic lose hp get it back and do it again
I dont know why I remembered Golden sun and there was a moment in which you traveled on a boat or something and there was a small chance to end in a island with a dungeon in which you could find a lot of rare items.
For FF IX if you were unlucky to play a 50hz version of the game, you couldn't manage at all to get Excalibur II on time, because the game clock was still running at 60hz !
Made it much harder but I did manage to do exactly this, and did it without FMV skips or double disc speed on PS2
Your math is wrong. 7.8 Billion ÷ 40,000 is 195,000...not 1.9 million. It's still a 1/40,000 odds chance to get hit by a meteor.
Death's Web is why I ended up quitting Diablo 2R. Spent a month grinding for it in various methods, and realized that I was never going to get any of the equipment I wanted in that game. Been playing Diablo 2 since it released 2 decades ago, and never got anything remotely rare. The droprates in that game are such garbage. You could literally beat the game on all difficulties with all characters 10 times, and still not get a noteworthy item. And even if you did, what's the point when you've already beaten the game dozens of times?
💀💀 it’s an acquired taste bruv
You certainly did get notable items, just not on that level of rarity. If death's head was less rare and you got it you'd still not have anything that rare.
"noteworthy" is a matter of opinion.
@@cameronbreeze4029 Here's the thing though, from what I remember, Death's Web isn't even a best in slot item. It's really good, but I remember there was a different weapon (I think Runeword?) that was better.
What good are having a ton of rare weapons in the game, if you have a 1 in a several million chance of getting them, and their not even going to be all that game changing? I'm not saying there shouldn't be rare stuff, just that I shouldn't have to spend half a year farming for an item I'll probably outgrow while farming it.
it's not like D2 is a true multiplayer game anyway. There is an economy, but it almost entirely revolves around the stupid max level runes, which are a whole other clownery of droprates.
Some runes probably have lower drop rate or things like mirror in poe
I got lucky enough to acquire not one, but 2 unique rings in Diablo 2 within the same created game. Same act. Durance of hate 2, and 3. Original at that. Stone of Jordan, and Bulkathos both dropped in a single play through while spamming through magic find runs. One of the rings came from a kicked barrel or chest, totally random. The other was from one of those named council guys before Mephisto.
Hi your content quality is awsome keep up the good work❤️❤️
Thank you! Will do!
1:20 my first days playing TF2 i actually saw someone scrap a golden wrench. it appeared in the chat as the "x player crafted scrap". but instead it said "x player destroyed golden wrench for scrap" and the announcer lady said "YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT". chat flamed said person hard with rekts and lols
In phantasy star online 1&2 the actual rarest weapon would have been the olga flow sword, which had a 1 in 64000 chance of dropping *from the final boss* of the game, which is not easily farmable at all. Only a handfull people in the world had that weapon legitimate. It might actually be one of the rarest swords in gaming history
pet hunters in osrs looking at this video and laughin
One trick ponies be laughing xD
I think I might actually have that dreamcast mag, I played the beta in 2020 but never actually got the full game, so could not confirm until I eventually try it.
Nice video! 👍
👍
“How some angry players got from missing out “ lmao how did so miss that
I feel like the sword Eltonbrand from Morrowind needs to be on this list. First you need to become a vampire which most people don't do because it cuts you off from most of the game's content and is just really annoying with being unable to be in the sun. Then you need a specific key in your inventory as well as EXACTLY 11171 gold in your inventory as you talk with a specific NPC. I don't even know how people figured such an obscure thing out.
Datamining
Earthbound is very hard lol, just my take.
#10 reminds me of the "party hat" items in Runescape 2.
they are a special item that could only be obtained from a special event LONG ago, it's IMPOSSIBLE for new ones to be found.
speaking of Runescape 2, there's a very powerful weapon called the "godsword" that has a complicated way of being obtained.
i forget the details, but it requires fighting multiple bosses in a high-level dungeon just for a CHANCE to get it, AND the entrance in in the middle of the Wilderness, the PVP area, so getting INTO the dungeon without getting killed by "griefer" players is nearly impossible!
I saw Shadow of the Colossus and I clicked the button.
i knew before watching pso had to be mentioned obviously along with FF, just nice to see OG PSO 1&2 get the love it deserves. Finding a rare weapon was one thing in ff, but geting that red box.. just felt different even if it was a photon drop, just seeing the red boosted serotonin levels like crazy.
How you got “Tyrell” from Tyreal is adorable lol
Even funnier, you wrote Tyreal instead of Tyrael hahaha
