It is also unknown whether there is a fixed number of these intervals for all the ultra-rares, or whether they are each tracked separately.
#The first character to adventure in the appropriate area with the right number on their step counter during the time interval for the day has a chance of encountering the appropriate monster and fighting it. Should they defeat the monster, the item's drop is automatic.
#On very, very rare occurances, two adventurers will get to the appropriate area at the right time with the correct number, and both get to fight the monster - this is massively more unlikely to happen than even encountering the monster to begin with.

Ultra Rares are items that are extremely rare drops, designed to be acquirable only through chance (or loads of meat). Jick has done an incredibly good job of keeping them virtually inaccessible to farmers (or at least as inaccessible as to occasional visitors), and the mechanic by which they occur is unknown. There has been much debate over the best strategy to acquire one of these. As yet, the only way which seems to have a good chance of paying off in the long run is to save your meat.

All ultra rares pulverize into ultimate wads.
