[General Discussion] Chance of Encounter: 0.0000042%

I honestly cannot stand searching for items or enemies or anything else with such an exorbitantly low rate of appearance. Little or none of the difficulty in finding the thing is skill based, but purely luck based. And it often requires constant repetitive action to the point where I will become bored with what I am doing. And since finding these ultra-hidden items usually is completely optional, I have no problem skipping them in favor of more exciting things in the game.

I think the most I ever did involving rare drop items was with Castlevania: SOTN. I filled up about half of the item drop list before I realized that if I finished it completely, I'd never want to touch the game again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
