Holy crap! Mind if i try to order that from you?
Definitely, if you haven't added me PM me on squidboards and I'll hook you up.

Any gear with 3 bomb range subs is going to be a shiny, or even crazier, a pure. It's definitely the rarest triple since there are no brands for it. It's basically, you save scummed, and here's the proof. :p

Forgot to mention, got another shiny yesterday. 2 in a day! I'm pissed at this one though, like I already have 3 run speed, just give me damage or special charge... :mad: I spent like 800k in the end to keep these, worth it for the swag points. Never really used it for ink saver main anyway.

Kinda sounds tough though...I mean I could get a triple damage up or other triples besides swim speed...gonna take a long time I guess.
It's certainly true that you're unlikely to have your first triple be your preferred triple, but they do come around with much greater frequency than the calculated 0.2% chance would suggest. My approach was to wait till I had a large stock of snails - at least 20 - then use the data exploit, but only restore after using all the snails (rather than after just one, which would take ages). Took a couple of days of rerolling whenever I had a little spare time, and I had a lot of unwanted triples come around before I got the ones I wanted, but still it didn't take too long (I can attest that going through the ordering and perfecting process takes longer).

Yep i tried to do this as well but couldn't stand resetting the damn data every time and just stopped. I also would be doing it just to get a shiny or pure for the sake of it because i already have all the builds i want, so i figured it's not worth it for me.

Yeah it's only worth the effort if you really want something that isn't already provided for in some other way, and I would only recommend trying it with neutral brand gear, since with non-neutral the chances of rolling a specific shiny are so small that you really could be rolling forever.

The OP really needs to be updated if this will be stickied.

How does ordering work for 1-star and 2-star gear? Are the odds the same as with 3-star gear as long as the player unlocked all slots? Just wanting to know if I should even bother ordering non-3-star gear. I'm interested in the “~10 % odds of getting 2/3 subs” method.

These guys:shoes_slp000:will give you the equivalent since they have bomb range up main and are from Krak-on, though of course Joey's shiny looks a hell of a lot nicer.

Recently re-rolled :shoes_slo002:They've got :ability_inksaversub: as a main and :ability_specialduration::ability_specialduration::ability_specialduration: for sub. Either that or :ability_specialcharge::ability_specialcharge::ability_specialcharge:. My memory's a bit foggy.

Also, still looking for shiny or pure Pilot goggles:head_eye002:

Got my first pure!



I actually ordered this from a Japanese player who had only the first 2 slots unlocked. Because it's 2 star, it took like 3/4 hours to get because the last slot took 10,000 points to unlock. I had to also keep adding the last slot when I reverted my data. It took 2 ranked wins to level it up, so it took me like 20/25 ranked games to finish.

Even though I was playing ranked, I still reverted whenever I didn't get the defence, and I only lost 1 game which was because I forgot to change my gear and weapon from turf wars. And I wouldn't say I save scummed ranked, I mean in the end I got the pure gear and 2 ranked wins but I'm already max rank. I actually missed out on a lot of gold.

If any of you want it then add me. However I'm looking for a pure Takoroka Mesh simply because this cap is ugly as hell.

Been rolling for that hat all morning just to get 2 Defense Up Subs. My order list is full right now but if you are free another day I sure do want to order it.
