Isnt there a cooldown period of a day per piece?
I thought that had been removed? But worth clarifying!
Before the Cyrene Codex, the window was about 7 hours for the semi-rare drop, now it's about 14 hours.... this of course depends on the dynamics of the game and may less/exceed normal time limits.
Of course, this drop is possible only if the required amount of ped is spent on this mob... that is, the semi-rare drop does not fall differently from the normal loot, with the difference that it is limited.
So, even if you reach the required amount of PED to make this loot available, you need to wait for the right moment.
It is not necessary that if you shoot a 10k ped the item falls into your hands! There are usually a lot of Cyrene campers who go around "trying their luck" with bigger than normal weapons for this mob, which usually means increasing their chances of taking what you've been hunting for 10 hours or just grabbing the current pool.
The normal hourly day-time of Cyrene is 5 hours, the dynamic rates do not change during this period, this is same as any planet. But there are game daily periods with a duration of 6 hours Cyrene... surprise!
Of course, the game is for rivalry, everything above is true when you are alone and hunt for a certain mob, but still the game is competitive and the behavior of the system I think works a little differently when there is competition.
It happened that in two days at normal rates I found twice as many semi-rare objects, but only in cases when I was looking for competition, to research this behavior of the loot.
I think that in these moments the system distributes according to the personal statistics from the previous period.
You understand that it is difficult to determine the truth of this behavior if the semi-rare item has no announcement.
In two words... if you have 4-5 friends to help you with a certain Cyrene mission for collecting these semi-rare items... at normal rates you will collect twice as fast because of the double drop in the competition... at a high rate it can be more .. Good luck with that, I know it's impossible in this game.
