So, you know that Hyperlauncher is Opera's specially unique move, and it can only be learned by using the Green Upgrade, which is made via Machinist. The problem is, this has got to be the rarest item in the game to make. For some who are lucky it might only take half an hour, but for those less fortunate, such as myself, it would take hours. I heard that by equipping the Beret and two Rainbow Diamonds, it will boost your luck a little, thus also boosting your chances of getting a Green Upgrade. It might sound silly, but it's definitely worth trying out, because I had them on when I made mine. Also, I heard Orchestra helps little, or maybe none at all, because all it does is increase the chance of success to roughly about 99%. However, Goddess's Arrival should help, according to some people. Ralz didn't play it and I did, and we both made one, so I don't know. Maybe you don't need to, to save time. Earlier today, I was trying to make one of them, to test its power for my next playthrough. I covered the screen at some point later on in my item creation, not bearing to look at the item I made. I look slowly whenever I see one of those green floppy discs being created, because I know there's a chance it could be the Green Upgrade. Most of the time, it was a Word Processor or a Graphic Tool. I also got a lot of White Upgrades and a few Black Upgrades. In fact, when I first got a Black Upgrade, I shouted out happily because I mistakenly thought I needed that one instead of the Green Upgrade. Anyway, after a while, there came a time when I was covering the screen and I saw a green floppy disc. I was about to look, but I accidentally pressed the X button instead. I figured since I had two Mechanic's Toolboxes left, I should just get it over with. I did, and neither of them was a Green Upgrade. So, I went to the menu to Newly Acquired Items, and I set it on Sort By Time Acquired. On the right of the first line, there it was, the Green Upgrade! I couldn't believe how happy I was! Anyway, enough of my rambling now. All I had to say about it is this: Hyperlauncher is godly! Seriously, at max proficiency ( Just see for yourself! Has anyone else been lucky enough to get the Green Upgrade? Tell your story of pain and patience here. It was worth it, though. It just sucks that I'll have to do it all over again soon. But I'll know I wasted four hours and a ton of Fol for a great reason! Edited by Fate, Aug 10 2009, 09:47 AM.

I was just EXTREMELY lucky this time. I doubt in my next playthrough I'll even be able to get it. As the steps mentioned above, I just used the Beret, two Rainbow Diamonds, and Orchestra. I didn't really use Goddess's Arrival, I probably thought it'd be a waste of time. But regardless, and in less than ten minutes, and I'm not kidding, Green Upgrade showed up on my screen! At first I couldn't believe it, Fate certainly couldn't, but it sunk in... I had gotten the rarest thing in the game! I accomplished something magnificent, and before Fate, I might add! ^^ |

And then five minutes after Ralz mentioned he got it, I somehow got one, too... Creepy, but I was so happy! Now I have to get another one... I don't think levels really matter here. Ralz was a little over level 100 when he got it and I was level 192 when I got it. |

Level 109, to be exact. And how random it was, but I wasn't complaining... at all! I'm sure you almost fainted at the mere sight of it, Fate! |

I thought I was hallucinating when I saw something with the word "Upgrade" at the end with a 1 next to it. I had 3 Black Upgrades and 12 White Upgrades, but only 1 Green Upgrade... |

You know, everytime a player gets a Green Upgrade, he dies a little inside. |
