This is more of a rant video. I actually ran the chapter 100x in a row. 50x wearing 48 luck (Death's Robe instead of Three Sevens), and 50x wearing all out damage gear. I'm uploading the luck portion right now, as quite honestly, the damage gear section just isn't worth the time it took to trim the videos.

To summarize, with 50 luck runs, I did manage to get

1x Sonic Boots
2x Kaiser Knuckles+1
1x Beelzebub Soul

With the damage runs, it wasn't until damage run 43 that Beelzebub even gave me his soul. I got no Sonic Boots nor Kaiser Knuckles +1 wearing full attack gear. I'm not stating that full attack gear will make those impossible, but rather less likely to drop. Somebody is bound to win the lottery every now and then. Being the stingiest chapter I've seen, I'd rather have an 8% chance of getting something than a 4% chance though.

If someone is really interested in seeing the all out damage runs, I'll consider uploading, but probably won't edit them. Let's just say, I didn't acquire enough rares in 50 2 minute attack gear runs to offset any extra time attack gear might have saved myself for more runs to make it even comparable to three and a half minute luck gear runs.

As for the rant, it's more about people telling me how they've tried luck and it doesn't work for them, yada yada yada. Half the time I talk to these people, their luck runs are like 15-20 luck or only 1 thief ring. THAT IS NOT A LUCK RUN! That's similar logic to myself putting on one Miser Ring with my luck gear and calling it an attack gear run.

I chose to run Chapter 9 because Beelzebub is probably the stingiest of all the bosses. The main point here is that anyone who says they ran luck for several hundred runs and got nothing off of any boss is a downright liar or naive. If you were playing solo, you're a liar. If you were playing with randoms, you need to remember that if they're not wearing luck gear too, any luck you might have on could potentially be worthless.

I GUARANTEE THAT I CAN ACQUIRE ANY RARE ITEM (that's droppable) IN UNDER 100 RUNS ON ANY CHAPTER! If you're having a hard time finding an item in under 100 runs, you're doing something wrong, which is probably listening to the wrong people on certain forums who have no clue about what they're talking about, or even how to run a proper experiment. They can throw around words to make it sound authentic, but they apparently don't even comprehend the concept of a control, let alone realize that their premises are completely invalid to begin with. And with invalid premises, the rest of the experiment becomes invalid.
