2 weapons in the first 5 hours sounds pretty good to me.

It sounds like folks are averaging 1 weapon every 2~3 runs on Threshold 1+.

And then purchasing the weapon for 50k Karma at the hall of bonds for the characters you want to play as sooner.

assuming they aren't being intentionally hyberbolic to an unhelpful degree I'd assume most of their play time is on another platform. given there are 33 (only 28 can even have a mission) phases in a given run and missions don't always spawn for them to have completed several hundred missions in 6 hours of gameplay they'd probably be needing to get 28 missions a run. I'm on near 16 hours rn and go for literally every mission I see and don't think I'm on several hundred.

edit: double checked in game because you can do that. I'm on about 170. granted maybe I'm incredibly slow but I don't think I'm people are lapping me 2 or 3 times over slow.

edit 2: my exact mission count is 168 and I have 13 unique weapons (and have bought 0 with embers) which means I've gotten a weapon 7.73%~ of the time. based on that and nothing else I imagine the drop rate is somewhere in the range of 5-10% which isn't awful all things considered.

Well, they're increasing the drop rate, seemingly adding Atelier Ryza, and nerfing players who only bought the superior damage nullification barriers (they're filling the King's Cauldron pool with bloat). I don't think I got any doing Traversal Level 2 ~ 4, so my first 11 unique weapons were my 12 runs on the initial difficulties while my 12th then dropped into my lap on my last run after a while. My mission count is 136.

Maining a single character so you can do higher Traversal Levels for 25k+ Karma per run while building cumulative level should let you buy the more important Attack increase or Musou/Assemble gauge charge unique weapons. Grind it out so your favorites reach 750 Attack and 600 Defense.

You get about 20k Karma a run Travrsal 1/2 which take an hour each. So you get to select whatever weapon you want every 3 hours or 3 runs. Idk how it matters when you essentially unlock a new weapon every 3 runs anyway. Up to Traversal 3 is no challenge so before it even starts getting hard I already have enough Karma to unlock a new character.

Dont really want to keep playing other chaarcters the way the game is structured, Have to spend 3 hours grindi9ng the boring lower difficulties on each character every time that you can do with your eyes closed.

Sucks that anything that does not have 100% attack on its abilities/weapon is just bad, really wish the charcters were more balanced. Lubu is ridiculous with a thunder build though if you character allows it with 200% thunder damage.

I think my main is going to only get 680 Attack at the 500 level cap and I cannot make a decent dent on the third boss. Currently at level 312 and just thinking of considering maining someone else till more characters get added so the percentage rates for attack and defense increase. I have currently 25 weapons and I could purchase 7 more right now but I rather slowly grind till the new characters get added.

i got 6 weapons in 27 runs so far,,, i just prioritize gates with chests and eventually i get a random one

I have very weird luck and always have, where I'm never close to average, I either get amazing results or horrible luck, at either end of the bell curve. In the case of weapon drop rate in this game, it's decided to be horrible. I watch youtubers getting a weapon out of nearly every run, or at least every second run. Meanwhile I've gotten two weapon drops in enough runs that I've unlocked every character and bought like 6 weapons with karma embers.

Then last run I got 3 drops.

*shrug*

Still overall not getting a good drop rate, but it tracks with my usual feast or famine luck.
