... I don't know what you guys are doing but I pipe for an hour max and most of the times I've got a rare after 20/30 minutes.
Btw, I've got 4 Frozen Shooters... 1 telepiped... other 3 just dropped
.

I would pipe a Frozen Shooter, its very worth it.
I seem to have good luck with piping enemies in Forest, or enemies that appear in the forest. I have found loads of Hildeblues and Torrs and loadsa rare rappies on Temple and Forest. Kinda cool if you ask me!

the only rare enemy I see often are Nar Lilies, haven't seen a rare enemy on Ult, only one Hildeblue, and a few blue ducks, no red slimes at all. period.

Piping if you want the weapon bad enough is always worth it.

an update on the piping:
so my second torr dropped an fs. i piped for about 45 min and got a torr.
because I was feeling lucky, I decided to pipe for a red handgun with my redria huney and got a pal rappy on the 4th pipe, and it dropped the red handgun. pretty cool huh?
so the question is...should I pipe for lavis cannon next? 1/21 drop rate is kind of daunting considering the amount of time it takes to even get a torr sometimes.

It's better than some other Ult rares... the ones that have 1 in 10 or 20 thousand drop rates. At least with piping you can increase your chances; it's just a matter of time. ...a LOT of time... :ermm:
I've never piped for any 1/21 rare-enemy items before... but when I do, I'll probably have something else to do while I wait. Because there is no way I will ever pipe for that long just watching the screen.

I piped in a room with only 3 rappys in it just so could get a pair of Twin Psychoguns.
to pipe or not to pipe? - NetNomad - 25-11-2004
Oh, I've done that too... but I just don't have the patience to sit for an hour or more piping. The most I've done is about 45 minutes - that was the day I picked up four pairs of Psychoguns and I was trying to get a fifth...[insertcommentaboutbeinggreedyhere]. I finally gave up... heh.
