This upgrade seems to be throwing more than enough items at me already. Don't consider the increased item thing to be an IAP you have a right to as much as a speed-up for things. Besides, once you've collected all the items, the game has that less replay value. Has everyone figured out how to unlock the bonus BGM? I think it's just the last stage that gets an image song as the BGM, but I might've done it wrong and more stages have alt BGM. (Random things on the map flashed every so often, I tapped them if I saw them..) The Resurrection item is the only IAP I'm going to get, maaaybe the item booster once I start to get bored and need a continued incentive to play. Deathsmiles isn't really my favorite CAVE game so far so I bought anything more out of support for CAVE than for this specific game, don't know if it really matters beyond supporting them anyways.
just bought it and tried it in hard mode A1, got 7 items in 1 go. nuts.... why does 4x increase than the 50% can give such amazing effect -_-
Bought. It's an excellent item. Decent price too IMO, relative to the other inferior DLC items. Collecting ALL 9 of each items seems very much possible now. In fact I got Wing Blade at the second grinding attempt XD Personally I think they did fix the drop rate, they just didn't announce it. So far I'm very pleased with the update.
Has anyone who did any reasonable amount of farming pre-update trying farming again without the charm? I too think it's possible that they fixed the drop rate, which then boosted the charm to make it seem ridiculous. But right now, I'm busy trying to get all of the costumes, so I don't feel like testing at the moment.
I must admit, atleast on Novice mode, even without the charm, I got atleast 2 items per stage! Most of it was gold though. I grinded alot before this update, and i do feel they did fix the drop-rates somewhat~ Will give Hard a few tries later and post an update~ Update: Nope, the drop rates still seem the same to me All i got was those stupid Rings.... nothing new ~
So far w/o the Lucky Charm, the drop rates seems the same to me too. Went through 5 hard stages and got all "S" rings. I'm wearing Queens dress or whatever that gives 50% increase treasure find. I'm wondering if the Lucky Charm isn't really 200% increase, but almost guarantee drop (which feels way more than just 200% increase...)
Got Lucky Charm~ First stage i played on hard gave me 10 items, but as i played more, the number of items dropped reduced.... When i played the same stage again, got 3 items~ and 1 unique so far~!
Damn... I'm still just getting items at bosses, and it's always gold... Did get one magic ring after playing the game twice through... Rest was gold... Such crap... Totally done with iPhone mode
Spoiler I think you can only doing it before starting the first stage, there are 3 flashing spots on the map (well, only one flashing at a time, once you tap one another appears). They seem to change location every time you start but may just be between a few fixed spots. You have to tap all 3 before starting, once you've done that there will be a laugh and when you start the first stage there will be new music (just for the one stage). I think you're just having a short run of back luck man. I haven't got anything amazing since the update but I do seem to be getting items more often than gold, and more often than pre-update. Besides, weren't you just saying a few pages back that you wanted to give more money to Cave? I get that the whole pay-to-win thing in an already premium (for iOS) game is bit much, but it's still an awesome game. We were never promised a drop rate fix (I think) so just pretend the lucky charm doesn't exist and keep enjoying it as you were before. :S
I got a 2nd Wing Blade today. I'm not sure if it's a bug (due to me equipping the one I have) or if you can find 9 of them (it'd be odd to call it unique in that case). But it'd be nice to be able to get the 1.5x bonus without having to use Windia's whole set. 5-piece sets are pretty useless for both scoring and farming, since you have to give up the items that have the appropriate bonuses.
Who here has unlocked the costumes? I unlocked the ones for getting endings A and B and the Windia costume (the latter by accident). To unlock the four angel costumes you have to defeat their boss without hurting the one you want the costume of on "normal mode". I got Windia's completely by accident and I haven't been able to get anyone elses. I'm having trouble getting the rest. The other costumes appear to be recolors. Kinda disappointing, I was hoping for a Sakura costume. Did anyone unlock the final one (Get the true ending)? While I don't like the price of the new DLC items, the resurrection weapon is pretty boss. It replaces your shot but uses the laser stat for damage.
The true ending is the Ending C that you can choose when you beat Hard mode. Normal only has A/B. To get the 4 costumes on the bottom, I think you need to not hit that specific angel in the battle. I'm pretty sure there's a priority list too, so if you don't hit 2+ of them, it only counts for 1. You'll know if you did it because you get that angel's familiar for the Dreameater battle. To be honest, I'm not even sure what constitutes "hitting" an angel, since their hitbox just seems to be one giant wall. I just kept Tiara either on the top or the bottom, depending on which one I was going for. 3/4 I got on the first try, and only 1 of them did I mess up and have to redo again.
Try to use lock shot, it do helped me to aim at certain angel continuously, so i can keep the other untouched. It is not hard to get all costumes.
I never get crappy gold drops anymore with the Lucky Charm, ibalway get items. Going to try again today to get some more unique items.
What shot type are you using? I've tried three times to get Casper's costume with no luck. Does using bombs count as hitting all angels?
Which weapon are you using? Whatever you use should be something that shoots straight forward. Anything that shoots in a cone shape is bound to hit angels you don't want to hit. Are you using manual shot or auto shot? Either is fine, but if you're using auto shot, then you need to turn to the left before passing Casper. Bombs don't count. I'm pretty sure. If you only hit Windia, I think that qualifies for the costume because Casper is next in line. Similarly, if you only hit let's say Rosa, you get Windia's familiar. At least that's what it seems like from the several runs I've done.
It is possible using Lock. I tried it, and aimed at Rosa. Although it sometimes looks like it hit Casper, but in the end it actually didnt, as I still get to have Casper's.
I'm thinking about getting the lucky charms (Iap) because lately all I'm getting is gold drops nothing else.
