The simplest way to understand the DG drop system is as follows; The formula for items from DG is "tech squared - stage count*10". So a tech 20 item would come from a 5 stage dungeon in DF 350. That is a quick and dirty way to find what you want, if you are not interested in heavy end math, please stop reading here, ty.

SO, you are still with us? Good, I like you, you have a long future in this game. The DG system is one of the most complex and confusing systems in Star SOnata. It is also one of the most essential to understand. Most of the quality items in the game come out of DG's, but the loot table is one solid mass with gradients for what drops where, as you will see if you scroll down. Thus, finding where to get what you want has, up until now, been a needle in a haystack kind of hunt.
THe drop formula is comprised of two parts; 1) the Danger Factor of the galaxy the DG is of of, and 2) the number of levels in the DG. The forumula takes the DF of the galaxy, multiplies it by 100, then adds a certain number between 37 and 62 per level of the Dungeon (averages 50, so we will use that for all calculations).
Now the full Formula is (((DF of Galaxy * 10) + (Number of DG levels *50))/1000)
Simplified the equation is (DF of Galaxy + 5 per dungeon level) / 100
SO, in our sample to the right, we have a Dungeon that is 8 levels deep in DF 110. Thus (110 + 40)/100 = 1.5 on the lists below. Now this is not wholly accurate, it will technically draw from 1.39 to 1.59 depending on what number each level added, but .05 keeps things simple for our understanding.
Now, the reverse formula is the one most people are interested in. Now, a LipoSuction has a Value of 1.44. Where do i go to find one? Dungeons are generally between 3 and 11 levels deep, with some, like the one at the top of the page, having splits. SO if i assume a variance above over between 3 to 11 levels, The equation resolved itself ot
Desired DF = Item Value*100 + number of levels *5
SO our Liposuction could be in any DF from 135 (3 levels at 37) to 70 (11 levels at 67). It is generally a very good idea if you are looking for specfic items to write down the DF ranges and depths, look for a series of Dungeons Matching those, and then write the locations down before beginning a run.
