Great Pachinko x10 item hunt fail

Recommended Posts

Following my own logic and @natstar's advice on how to get single stat legendary items I've started playing Great Pachinko x10 for some time and the results are pathetic.

Got no Hardcore item in 20 tries.

And the only one epic item that happened to be Hardcore I accidentally sold..

2,68 M -> Rainbow (Slot 2) 
2,68 М -> Rainbow (Slot 2)
2,68 М -> Rainbow (Slot 2)
2,73 M -> Rainbow (Slot 3)
2,73 M -> Rainbow (Slot 3) 
2,73 M -> Harmony (Slot 1) 
2,73 M -> Charm   (Slot 6)
2,78 M -> Ego     (Slot 6)
2,78 M -> Charm   (Slot 6)
2,78 M -> Know-How(Slot 6) 
2,78 М -> Rainbow (Slot 2)
2,82 М -> Rainbow (Slot 5)
2,82 М -> Rainbow (Slot 6)
2,87 М -> Know-How(Slot 5)
2,87 М -> Rainbow (Slot 6) 
2,87 М -> Rainbow (Slot 5)
2,92 М -> Rainbow (Slot 4)
2,92 М -> Rainbow (Slot 1)
2,92 М -> Rainbow (Slot 6)
2,92 М -> Rainbow (Slot 5) 

That's ~36M worth of money incl. the 33-50% diminishing return rate after selling all the items back.

Playing Great Pachinko x10 is in fact good for scoring higher in Tower of Fame under "Money spent", but is definitely not the fastest/smartest way to get gear.

RNG is very fickle with Great Pachinko. I've had runs of 18 consecutive rainbows (twice!), but I've also had runs of something like 5 mono-stat items in 7 turns, and also back-to-back monos for my class. You'll get something useful out of it eventually if you keep spending.

In total I've spun the 10x 123 times so far. 96 rainbows (including two in one attempt once), and 28 singles: 9x Hardcore, 8x Charm, 7x Know-how, 2x Harmony, 2x Endurance.

I previously did 52 ×10 Great Pachinko spins and towards the end, I managed to get Legendary mono stat Know-How Gear but only on attempts #43, #46, #48 and #51. Not to mention all 4 were for different slots! 👍 It was a really good run if not a wee bit nerve-racking. I did another 41 ×10 spins a few weeks ago and got god awful results. A single Know-How mono stat on #3 but it was for the Chest, which I already got previously... so yeah, RNG really sucks and Great Pachinko ain't gettin' any cheaper Y'know? 🤔

*Keep in mind that I did these after saving up over 100 mil. Which is why the 2nd set of ×10 spins was 41 cause the price was ridiculously expensive! 😅

I agree with you in that Great Pachinko is not the best way to get gear.  This has been my beef for a while now.  Especially since they've made leveling up easier - extra XP from Leagues and extra energy with every level.  It's impossible to get any gear to stay current and effective as you progress.  Great Pachinko did well for me earlier (levels 40-90) - I received mono-stat legendaries in my specialty (HC) often enough to stay fairly current with my opponents in PvP.  But since breaking level 100, it came to a crashing halt with the gear drops.  I am level 193 now and still struggling to complete my daily arena (it's taking me 3 days to win 16 battles) because I can't get anything to update my level 125-150 gear.  

However, the market isn't great for getting legendary gear either - for me at least (I've posted another thread about it).  I had my first legendary gear show up in the market in 6 months (~160 levels without any showing up).  Had 1 maybe 2 when I first started in May, but just last week, I saw a 3rd.  Epics are just as scarce for me and when they do show up, they can't beat the low-level legendaries I already have anyway.  So i have no choice but play Great Pachinko and pray to the RNG gods that they smile on me (which they rarely do).

Something certainly needs fixed or adjusted with the system (Great Pachinko and Market).  

I would like to see All types of legendaries have the same chance of dropping - not weighing heavily on rainbows - all are equal chances.  I'd also like to see in the market how common and rare gear disappear at upper levels and only epic and legendary show (like with the gifts).  This would increase the chances of all of us getting the gear we need to stay current with our levels and opponents.

It's not the fastest or smartest way of getting gear, it's the only way of getting gear. Once you have spent your kobans on getting girls from the spin.

The market almost never spits out single stat gear, I haven't seen one for my class in over 100 levels.

Thanks to spending cash on spins, I got 5 of 6 slots in single stat legendary. Yes I did spend a fortune but it's a choice I made and if you want to be decked out like a christmas tree it is the only real choice unless you want to spend 40 bucks of real life cash for a spin and a chance [not a sure thing] of getting usable gear.

 

So really it is the fastest and smartest way of getting gear.

 

But hey, keep running those all epic or even better all rainbow gear and at level 250 I'll keep pounding away you level 300's in leagues.

If getting single stat legendary was easier, then you wouldn't catch up with your opponents because they would all have them also.

 

As for levels, legendary is legendary. That I have 5 single stats, 1 current, 4 about 40 to 50 levels behind me is a bit excessive but then I choose to eat bitter to get them.

I don't mind free shit but then you get to the point where everyone gets a participation medal and games are scored fun to fun and there is too much of that in the world today.

Out of curiosity, do you remember more or less how much x10 spins did you do? I ask because in a few weeks I intend to go all out with Great Pachinko myself, and would like to have a term of paragon.

Sadly no. I went nuts on it when it first came out and every time there is a related contest I blow a lot more cash.

 

Enough that it gets disheartening. All those rainbows and wrong class single stats.

I'd spread it out, aim to win those contests at the casino, might as well get some extra cash and kobans out of it, unless you are going for number 1 on the leaderboard but even then, if you are not swimming in cash, I'd go my way.

 

Advantage of spreading things out also is well I had 4 slots filled up pretty quickly. I was lucky I didn't get duplicates. Every item you get means a greater chance to get a duplicate.

However if say you have a legendary item every 10 or 15 levels, even if you get a duplicate there is a good chance you will advance it a few levels and it isn't a total waste.

I don't know precisely either, but i think i did ~130 x10 spins and i got 5 of 6 slots in single stat legendary (+ duplicates).
