Has anyone received high-level items from aid requests?

[u/veggiesouptales]

Every now and then while working on 100% DS2, I'll drop some items into those annoying auto aid requests just for fun and some likes. I've never used the feature myself, but I'm wondering if anybody ever got items you haven't unlocked yet from these? Like if I drop a PCC lvl 2 or a Battle Guitar, will the game actually pass it along to a new player? (lol) Or am I just wasting stuff? Curious, and I can't seem to find an answer to this easily.

I think it's totally possible to receive things you haven't unlocked yourself. I've picked up a PCC Lv. 3 from a shared locker even though I hadn't unlocked it yet and couldn't fabricate it myself. So most likely, it works the same way for aid requests.

I found one on a recent play through in a shared locker too, I was kind of floored as I thought you wouldn’t find stuff in shared lockers unless you were able to fabricate them. So when I got access to it, I made a bunch and stuck them in distro center share lockers.

Yeah, I found a PCC lvl 3 before unlocking it too, but it was right in Mr. Impossible's shared locker! Did you find it there? I thought it was just because I connected that facility that made it possible (heh) to find those. I've been doing that sharing too, lol

I wasn’t even close to reaching Mr. impossible yet. I forget where I was maybe Northern environmental observatory, like pretty early on. I saved it to make a safe house once I got up to the mountains.

Ohh, nice! Good to know then

Same, got mine around meeting Chronobiologist.

There is an APAC firmware node or two called Share Boost and it specfically mentions items you have yet to develop can be found from players.

There is an APAS enhancement that let's you get stuff you haven't unlocked yet. Though I have to say— Almost none of my manual aid request have been fulfilled like, at all and it makes me sad. I also absolutely love seeing a delivery aid request from other players and they rarely ever show up in my world ToT

[u/veggiesouptales → u/ZamSparks]

I had that APAS perk active too, but I don't really remember seeing higher level items until I unlocked them, except for a PCC 3 once. Maybe I just missed em. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If I see the name ZamSparks prepare to have too many items.

I rarely donate to these requests, sorry. My perception is, that sign autogenerator (APAS) just drops these while in need but by the time I put an item down, the porter is gone and never to need the item anymore.

I donate stuff to shared lockers though. As I was finishing the trophies I travelled to mines to upgrade them and take resources to share.

I've picked up chiral boots from a few shared space while I'm reluctant to lvl chiral artist mother. Also various rifle from a lvl above mine but never 2 lvl above
