and I was wondering, do boss and sub boss souls drop at the same rate on normal and hard modes? I didn't find anything using the search function for this, and none of the Soma specific character guides I have seen mention this.
I know the gambler glasses in the game menu show the percentage drop independent of the game mode you are currently playing, but when you run Ch 9 over 100 times and get zero boss souls, you take those numbers with a grain of salt.
I'm really just looking to acquire these last few souls ASAP so I can put down the Soma crackpipe. I'm pretty much set on equipment, so the lower quality of the non-soul drops doesn't really concern me.

In my experience they drop slightly better in Hard mode, but there's no guarantee of that.

Sigh, thanks. Ran several mindless (but admittedly speedy) runs of Chapter 11 last night on Normal. In ten runs with full luck gear and 2 Soul Eater Rings, I got 5x Chimyriad (sp?), 3x Oxocutioner, 3x Decapiclops and 0x Ryukotsuki (sp?) souls.
Since I probably would have gotten clubbered on Hard mode with the same gear, I consider this decent, if boring progress.

1 reason it's boring, your grinding. Grinding is never fun. Try playing the game for fun and when ever someone happens to be playing Chapter 11 join up and just play.

If you play with a group in hard mode, way back when you'd rarely find a party where people actually die.
I just played the other day though, and every game I managed to get into was with Japanese people, and one in Canada. The guy from Canada was pretty good. Everyone I played with from Japan though was pretty bad, save a couple of them that were pretty decent.
Though none of the japanese players glitched, contrary to back when we used to play, all the japanese players glitched.

Back when everything first released all the addicted people (mainly japanese people) Played religiously, unlike we NA played so they found all the glitches first and we learned from them. Then the people in NA caught on and the Japanese community died off, and following the rest of the community. Lately I've noticed a spur of new players so everyone sucks.

Boss souls, since they come from boss chests, are not influenced by the means with which you get souls generally (Soul Eaters, LCK gear). I know how you feel, though, I remember Puppet Master simply refusing to give me any souls.

I've seen a measurable increase in the frequency with which I get boss souls when I wear soul eater rings. Fairly accurate to the numbers I see with gambler glasses. Not much difference from normal and hard mode from my observation though.
