10 Insane Things You NEVER UNLOCKED in Video Games

The loot tables on the bosses were messed up so that you could get most of tier 2 for like four months of all the MC bosses, not just Ragnoros. Noktyn got it because it was basically viewed as trash despite being a one of a kind legendary. Blizzard even hot fixed the bosses and removed it from all loot tables within hours of him getting that necklace.

And as with all of the things in this video, you can shrug or laugh about it because they are not necessary at all. Also, the jokes in this video were HILARIOUS. :D Great one.

[@dDeckon]

100% Agree. Been playing thru all 3 of the Final Fantasy 4 games on Steam; and in each game, you need to find 4 items with a Drop Rate of "0.4%" for an Achievement... on top of the 5% chance that an Enemy would even drop an Item in that Encounter; AND dpending on the game, having other enemies in the Encounter lowers the odds if they don't share the same drop pool... which makes them take many, many Hours to get...

[@Sirca]

Over 15yrs ago I played FFXI and it's the only MMO I raid grinded hardcore, peak endgame (6hr+ Kirin fights n whatnot), and a couple people in my dynamis linkshell had their classes relic weapon gained the way your ment to. Literal years of coin and other material collecting. One of them being Excalibur. I remember when our tank got his sword and used the weapon skill attached to the sword for the first time we as a collective whole were somewhat disapointed with it lol. Low damage and not very flashy. If you wanted your classes final weapon skill back when the lvlcap was 75 you had to get your relic weapon which back then they took years running dymanis 3 times a week to gain the materials, unless people helped you by giving you the materials they gained. I still consider my time on FFXI to be the most memorable MMO experience, esspecially when it was at its peak in the mid-late 2000s. Even though you had a 1/20000 chance from fishing to get it at that time, getting it the correct way was no small feat. My dynamis had 3 maybe 4 people who had their relic weapon and there were less than 10 on the hole server including the JP players.

People don't understand the drop rates of FFXI is what fueled alot of us to keep going: the grind.

I never looked up drop rates for Czerka-crate-o'matic in SWTOR, but I knew it was really rare. I am doubting that 1 in billion chance though, as there were plenty of them back in the day sold in games own market. I found one myself in 2017, I still remember the exact mob it dropped from. Got the achievement too.

[@dawgbone98]

I think the difference is the crate-o'matic "billion" encompasses several different things. You could get it from mobs, treasure hunting and a few others. So the original 1 in a billion was based on 2 people finding it in 2 billion loot checks, which is still rare, but is more common than it sounds because a single perso could easily get 500+ loot checks in an hour of gaming. So if a server had an average of 500 active people all day long (not the same ones, but consistently 500 players), you'd expect one to drop every 23 weeks on that server.

[@rogerpalsgrove9678]

I'll watch the list first. But I agree on both sides. I actually like this hard rare unlock if they are not mandatory, because then the dopamine rush that hits you is incredible. On the other side, if something is mandatory/required and has that low of a drop rate, then they can f off.

The only thing to be noted is in Diablo 2 you can craft runes from 3 of the tier below it. This only works up about 1/3 of the way the rarity but in ladder all runes can be crafted. At the end of ladder when characters moved to the normal server they would just dump their gear and then start a new ladder character. Finding a zod rune may be difficult but the gear you’re trying to make with it is much easier to find. Non ladder was pretty saturated when I stopped played a few years ago.

[@hashashinx]

it may be nitpicking, but research a little more some of this stuff.. D2's Zod Rune - no one used it to make things indestructible lol (i know some ethereal items with it can be good) but 99% of time it was used for some broken runewords Breath of the Dying and Obsession or simply traded because it was so rare.

[@Amrehlu]

Ah yes. Pendulum of Doom. The item I am always reminded of in these types of lists. I've had 3 total and I vendored all 3. Never occurred to me that it had any value cause it was ugly as sin. That's my luck though. I have lost count of how many times I've been in a dungeon transmog farming/making gold by vendoring drops (I don't care how bad that money making is, I did it cause I enjoyed it while listening to stuff in the background) and a mount that I didn't know existed/didn't know came from that dungeon or raid dropped. In one case I mentioned it off hand in guild voice chat, "Huh, I didn't know a mount dropped from this boss." and when I said which one a guildy who had been counting his attempts said he was on attempt 2500 something. I got it on my 5th run. Hurricane was the one bow I found like 9 times in Vanilla while just killing stuff in Plaguelands, I believe, near the cauldrons. But I didn't know it had any value and just vendored them, I rarely used the AH in Vanilla and BC and was clueless. But I spent over 12 hours farming bears to get the one Epic BoE axe to drop and never got a single worthwhile drop the entire time, cause I wanted it too much. But if I know that it exists and want it? Not happening. Will never get it. I also torment one of my friends in EVERY fucking videogame we play. He will be off doing something, I'll ask what he's up to cause I'm bored and he'll tell me he is faming this or that item. I will ask where and how to get it and then will go and get it within 10-15 minutes after he has spent 4+ hours farming it. Terraria rare drops are a prime example of that happening. But it happens in anything and everything that has rare drops of an equivalent.

Even Alliance players would come and visit me, emoting to ask how it was going! I eventually had to quit playing for my sanity and the risk to my actual marriage, I was that obsessed. But if you needed the best Bear you could get (I think it was almost essential for Gruuls Lair), then you needed that item. WIth full raid buffs, food and procs, I could temporarily get my armor above 80 thousand, for all that there was no need to do so, but it was tenacious and so was I.

Pendulum of Doom is rare but Teebu's Blazing Longsword is definitely rarer

[@Elric24]

The Zod rune. Yes, thousands of hours lost to the HR grind back in the day

[@mahmoudbenyoussef5239]

gotta love falcon, you enjoy some gaming trivia while learning your chances of d*ing by random things

[@allstarmayhem7390]

Roblox rng/gotcha games are laughing at these numbers 😅

[@rougepredatorgaming4718]

The defender shield in kingdom hearts 1 is a very hard drop I only got it when I grinded the same spot over and over

[@JR18489]

I've never even heard of the hide of Terramorphous until now and I thought I knew everything about Borderlands 2......

[@Drenix]

I remember some guy got the rune of Zod during a speedrun stream, and just sold it right away, last year or so

FFXIV AND PSO references, this video was made for me FFXI is still kicking. I recently had to do the "Lilith" rematch fight 320 times to get even one piece of the "Malignance" armor she's supposed to drop (there are five pieces of the armor set) 😢😢😢😢

[@Venoseth]

For additional context: The cost to do the rematch fight is 10 merit points. Each merit point costs 10,000 limit points, which you start to earn after reaching the maximum level. So, each fight is 100,000 limit points and I fought her 320 times for one piece of armor. That's 32 million exp 😫

I was MNK/THF on VE, and had 2/5 after around 350 fights (some were E). I changed to THF/WAR, and was 5/5 about 20'ish fights later.

Oh that Gamefags page text brings up memories from the late 90s.

[@Dirtywhiteboy2234]

My brother has all the monster hunter games and beat them all 100% and still plays them all the time

[@DezzillionPS]

IDK what you are talking about man, I did a quick calculation for all of these and it came out to a 50/50 chance every time. Either you get the drop or you dont on all of them. You're welcome.

[@DannyMen88]

Finding Zod runes but never using it because repair bills were never that serious

[@jonathanwilson4791]

Right off the bat. Yup...got the bow. Took about 2 hours ish if I'm remembering right.

[@brandonwynes5886]

I found a Zod rune in d2r but that’s pretty much the culmination of 20 years hunting

[@keithandreano]

Happy 4th of July Gameranx! Celebrate by defeating some bosses! 😁

[@truecountry8915]

If you ever want to unlock the ff12 bow, fuzz finger gaming has an awesome video guide on how to do it. Unlocked it for each character. Absolutely devastating at the beginning of the game

[@gameranxTV]

Hey thanks for letting us and others know!! :)

[@cristiangimenez9439]

Curious to see the Zod rune in the list, when I was playing d2, I was very young, and for me the most impossible rare thing to get (in my head, no maths involved) was the Anihilus.

[@gameranxTV]

haha yeah some of these items are incredibly rare!

[@dem0nicpresence]

I've gotten perfect Terra hide and that's it and it definitely was an extremely lucky drop because I was just farming Terra for no reason.
