The Schtserv Server offers many exclusive Player-created features, quests, and quality-of-life upgrades for players new and old to experience. Use the links below to learn more about the many options available.

SERVER DROP ENHANCEMENTS

Increased Drop Rates

Drop rates on the server have been minorly adjusted for increased hunt rates:

• Normal-Very Hard: ~2x better than the original, vanilla rate
• Ultimate: ~1.25x better than the original, vanilla rate on many, but not all, drops

Server Specific Drop Tables

The drop tables have been adjusted on the Schtserv Server for the Ultimate Difficulty to remove many of the redundant, unexciting drops from all of the Section IDs. In addition, several IDs have had more exciting drops added so that there is less reason to ignore IDs altogether.

In order to use the Server Drop tables, you must select 'SERVER' as your drop type when Creating a Team.

• Episode I Server Drop Table
• Episode II Server Drop Table

Increased Ultimate Episode 2 Hit% Chance

The chance of receiving an Episode 2 weapons with the Hit% Photon on Ultimate Difficulty has been slightly boosted when playing in 'SERVER' Mode:

• Yellowboze - 5% Chance
• All Other IDs - 3% Chance

This is in effect for free play, regular quests, and Special Event quests.

Additional Quests

Server drop mode offers additional quests that aren't available in Vanilla Drop mode due to either balancing or features the quest may offer. You can see the breakdown here.
