Like Callipygjas said, there is a predictable (sort of) system to getting BB weapons and armor.

When a cursed BB weapon or armor piece drops, it's already been decided what specific item it will be based on the vocations of you and your pawn. For instance, an Assassin with a Fighter pawn would be more likely to get Fighter/Warrior weapons and armor, and have a smaller chance of getting Strider/Ranger gear with almost no chance of getting any of the magic vocation items.

You can manipulate this so that you get more items of the type you want by changing vocations before purifying them.

That said, you can't change what specific item it will be for a specific vocation. For instance, if you and your pawn are both Fighters and you purify a Lv. 3 weapon and get a Devil's Bane, it will always be a Devil's Bane, you can't Godsbane and reload to get a different item. You can switch vocations to try and get another item that way, but purifying it while both you and your pawn are Fighters will always result in a Devil's Bane.
