[UB]Hi all.
I'm just curious to see if there's any factors that may affect the drop rate of the "System Access Admin Code" since I'm in a desperate need for it. I know this won't really be accurate since the sample size is quite small due to the low drop rate. It could be a small hope though.
Anyhow, my question is to people who have gotten the item as drops or have tried to several times. Which monster dropped it? Was it "Awful", "Boss", "Strong", ect. relative to you? How many times have you ran that particular dungeon that has that mob?
So far, the two people I know who received them as drops got them from ghosts, which are lower in quantity per run, but have a significantly higher CP.
EDIT: I forgot to include my own experience.
So far, I have ran a total of ~80 dungeons.
~50 Math Zone 1 (~5 times with -CP gear on alt, boss kobolds and awful minics. 45 times on main, weakest on all mobs)
~30 Peaca Zone 1 (Awful/Boss on Main/Alt)
And nope. Didn't get one.

Done about 50ish zone 1 peacas with -CP gear (ghosts = boss) and my only drops from ghosts have been gold, and 1 artless enchanted potion kit.
mimics and the black rat are weak.
End chest didn't give any either.
Probably going to end up just buying what I want from other people at this rate, don't have the time or patience for this kind of thing.

You could've made way over 1m in the time/effort it took you to run 80 dungeons and been able to just bought one.
But yes, -CP helps for drop and they also do come from the chests at an even lower rate.

Admin codes are only 1m? Even for alexina that seems low.

Yeah, about that. Making money isn't exactly easy for me, but I know I can spam MA/Conflict for gold. Problem being that my guildies are almost always AFK and there's not always a party available. I'm going to end up spamming MA all night then. I might just buy it at this rate, like what Osay is planning.
Also, I had a party up for 2M and haven't had any luck in 30 minutes of advertising. I might try again later since that was early in the morning. Thanks for the suggestion. [/UB]

2m should get you one real fast when a lot of people are on since that's on the higher end of what sellers are looking for (alexina).
Can always make 1m+ a day on dragon raids rather than spam boring missions.

Or sell 2 - 3 reforges on ruairi in a few minutes. If I save an hour playing the game for something tedious and boring and spend it working instead I can just buy a stack of reforges and make monies that way. Also didn't realize they were tradeable. Guess I know what my party sign will be saying tonight.

I tried to buy one yesterday, but I gave up. Then tried to run math 10 times for a Potion Bag, got it within the 10th run.
Also, I wasn't wearing any -cp gear, so the Hellhounds were weakest for me.
I guess is just luck... lol.

[UB][S]Share some of that luck with me please. [/S]
Thanks for the info. I guess CP doesn't have a huge impact on drop rate then. I might just run ~20 more times and then if I don't get it, I'll quit. [/UB]

Extremely ridiculously rare drop from SAO dungeon mobs that lets you pick any one item from the NPC, including the titles.
Anyway, this reminds me of that valentines day cake event from two years ago, where this gesture coupon had an extremely ridiculously rare rate to appear; I only managed to get three by the time the event ended.
