Come laugh at me. (2nd semester spoilers)

- Restarts game because of Curry Care.
- Gets to the Xth Escape mission.
- Robot on the subway drops an item.
- Identifies it once the Code Breaker is removed. Curry Care.

... yeah, seems legit. This game loves to mess with me.

I actually tried to get a Curry Care from the subway after I found out you can get it there in Operation Babel and I couldn't get one to drop after two hours of grinding. Despite the fact that you reset over the item, it is really lucky that you got that to drop! And good to know for other folks as well.

I don't know how many scores of drops I've had since I started, I think Curry Care has only ever dropped for me all of twice.

Also, I'd like to give the developers a kick in the kneecaps for that tedious segment.

[Talithmara]

I also forgot to mention; I game overed in that segment since I forgot to unequip Hachi's Workout Pack. I was using it to level a Conjurer up for single target damage with Super Troll (C/S/S/S/P/A) which made that infinitely harder than it needed to be.

I mean, on the one hand, I appreciate the segment for showing just how critical Code-Rise is without putting you in a scenario where you'll just be oneshot... but it really IS a tedious segment.

Of all the asinine things to keep working in that segment...

Anything that auto-activates that isn't actually "equipped" still works... like Auto-Recovery (which prolonged my game over.) I hope those auto-recoveries weren't important, since I bought them thinking I could hold onto them for hard bosses, and they all got wasted on stupid things.

Confirming with 100% certainty: the Robo PD do absolutely drop Curry Care. The drop rate is fairly low, but bearable enough to save someone from restarting if they know about it.

How and why I confirmed this: My comp sucks and some areas basically play in slow-motion. I was in desperate need of a decent grinding spot that ran above 30 FPS (It's a turn based game so the FPS doesn't matter as much, but it DOES slow progress considerably when the game doesn't skip frames and is basically running in slow-mo. I'd honestly prefer choppiness over this in a turn based game.) In other words, I needed something "visually simple" like the Morimoto High-Rise, Hinowa Abyss, or Kagura District... as opposed to "complex" zones like the Cemetary (the rain) Babyl Sphere (that hazy effect) or the Subway (the reflective glass.)

By sheer coincidence, I noticed that the room where you fight X-Wizar in the Mission where you need to expose Administrator Shintaro ran much more smoothly than the area outside it, so much so that it felt like flipping on a Fast Forward function. So I stopped to grind for a bit. The exp was surprisingly good (Over 200 from massive swarms of drills I could one-round, and well over 1000 from Robo PD groups) so I gained several levels (18-22) in what felt like no time at all. By the time I stopped, I had 17 Curry Care - but do keep in mind that I had all the available Curry Care up until that point and had only used the one on Lost New Officer in the first semester, so I might have only gained 2-3.

For the sake of stating it in case it makes a difference, this was before my Academic learned "Salvage" at level 22. I do not know if this makes a difference. I saved and quit upon reaching 22.

I had the hardest time getting Curry Care for a while, but after reading in this thread that you can get it from the police robots in the subway, I fought a few of the robots last night and one of them dropped - what else? - a Curry Care. Thanks for the tip

[Konachibi]

I've no idea what a Curry Care does, but I got one from a monster in the high-rise after completing the first mission and going back to level up some new recruits. Guess I'll just take it as a blessing in disguise. :S

is it a good thing or a bad thing to have (new to this game)

There's a quest that involves it and from memory it's a really useful healing item; so if you use all the ones you can purchase at the store it's really difficult to progress that quest because the drop rate of the things is so low.

Plus it's become a bit of a running joke. :P
