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). There has been much debate over the best strategy to acquire one of these. Likely the best way which seems to have a good chance of paying off in the long run is to save your meat; though given the occurrence rate below, you can decide if it is better to farm Meat or farm for the item directly.
The chance to get an Ultra Rare is 1/37,000 on any given adventure in a zone which contains an Ultra Rare monster. Since this is a Binomial Distribution, the chance to get at least one Ultra Rare by spending exactly 37,000 adventures in a zone would be 63.2%. Spending 100,000 adventures gives a 93.2% chance to acquire at least 1 Ultra Rare.
All ultra rares pulverize into ultimate wads.
