User blog comment:Furkan Zomer/Possible Solution - Cursed BBI Weapons and Armor lv.3/@comment-8.23.59.254-20130712154025

Okay guys, I THINK I see what the confusion is for most people on the armor. I had to think about it for a minute or two myself. What you've posted is understandable... but you mention the very reason that this theory works in a very casual manner where it might be explained clearer in the introduction.

Basically... the game only saves your current patterns when you have one or more of the items in your inventory. So by purifying items as they come, your results will truly be random. BUT... by keeping all your armor lv.3 to purify at once, and using his method to establish what the pattern is, you will figure out exactly how many you need and manage to get a full set all in one swoop, because, in ONE SINGLE PATTERN (which again, is lost every time you have none of the item to purify), there are no duplicates for the higher level armor.

Also, as a possible side benefit, if you get a pattern you don't like (for example, if you've followed his method seven times and still haven't gotten a high (if that is possible), you can ditch all of those 6 to try again on a better pattern, because, in the end, you will need less armor lv3's to get a full set of what you desire.

Did I get that right?
