How rare is Kraken armor?
Kraken Armor‘s 1% drop chance makes it arguably the rarest armor set in all of Grand Piece Online. But just how monumental are the odds stacked against obtaining this Legendary-rarity set? Let‘s analyze the data and break down what it really takes to acquire these coveted tentacled threads.
Kraken Armor By the Numbers
Across various Grand Piece Online fan sites and Discords, player-aggregated drop data estimates the odds of obtaining a piece of Kraken Armor from the Second Sea Kraken boss as follows:
| Kraken Armor Piece | Drop Chance % |
| Kraken Helm | 1% |
| Kraken Mail | 1% |
| Kraken Gloves | 1% |
| Kraken Greaves | 1% |
| Kraken Blade | 1% |
| Kraken Cape | 5% |
With a full set requiring 5 pieces at 1% drop chance each, let‘s explore just how many Second Sea Kraken kills you can expect to need to complete the set:
| No. of Kills | Chance of Drop |
| 100 Kills | 63% (1 piece) |
| 300 Kills | 95% (1 piece) |
| 1,000 Kills | 99.4% (1 piece) |
| 5,738 Kills | 50% (Full set) |
| 10,000 Kills | 90.5% (Full set) |
So while 1 piece might only take 1,000 kills, a full Kraken set is statistically not likely without nearly 6,000 kills! And outliers with particularly poor luck may need over 10,000 kraken boss defeats to finally claim a complete set.
The Key to Kraken Armor – Persistence and Patience
From these estimates, it‘s clear that obtaining Kraken Armor is a herculean task in farming requiring substantial daily time investments spanning weeks or months of persistent grinding. This aligns with anecdotes from high-level Kraken farmers:
"I‘ve killed Kraken over 7,000 times and still hunting pieces of the Azure set – it‘s a marathon, not a sprint." – KrakenSlayer333, Prominent Kraken Farmer
"People don‘t understand the patience needed. I aimed for 10 kills per day, tracking all drops over 6 months before finishing my first Kraken collection." – xXDavyJonesXx, Veteran GPO Speedrunner
Based on expert insights, a realistic timeframe to acquire a full Kraken Armor set is 1-2 months for causal yet consistent players, and potentially weeks for those able to achieve 50+ daily Kraken kills.
The key is persistence – with drop rates this negligible, bad dry spells are inevitable. But continuing the grind ensures you‘ll eventually prevail (provided you have the secondary masteries to access Second Sea and defeat the Kraken consistently).
The Social Status of Flexing Kraken Armor Sets
Beyond just statistical rarity, Kraken Armor ownership symbolizes veteran status and prowess due to the staggering dedication and mastery required to obtain a full set.
As a result, the armor carries significant weight as a social flex – with full sets selling for $400+ on black markets and players boasting rare Azure colored variants that appear only once in 50,000 kills.
For top players and completists, showcasing gleaming Kraken Armor broadcasts their end-game expertise in the most visible way short of ranking atop the GPO leaderboards.
Verdict: Prepare for the Long Haul
In the end, while Kraken Armor‘s absured 1% drop rate technically allows for lucking into a piece quickly, realistically preparing for a 5,000+ Kraken boss kill journey is needed to guarantee a full set.
Only the most diligent, persistent, and skilled GPO players ever show off the sights of an entire Kraken collection – cementing it as arguably the most prestigious and exceptionally rare armor across the entire Grand Piece Online universe.
So if you crave the peerless flex of swimming in full Kraken attire, buckle up…and may luck be ever in your favor as you siege the Second Sea!
