Orange glass marble research

The current ENG wiki says 1-3 man hard mode drops orange - I was wondering if anyone can confirm this?

[Chuubert]

I actually just got 2 back to back. Lol time to look for peerless crests.

Please take a knife and stab yourself for being so lucky. I'm pretty sure you'd live. T.T

It took me 5+ hours to even get my first... with steal attack on every run on top of log-in boost and drop rate accessories.

Confirmed in Plover Pit, we did got it on Hell mode with a 3 people group 2nd run - the Chests after the Fox -
Use steal on them, i got mine while someone else used steal on the left side chest.

decided to farm daiku cave again earlier today, a little over an hour ago.
it dropped after seven or so runs ^_^

I'd say my total time investment upon learning of where it drops would be 2-3 hours

I approve of this.

drops in Daiku Cave - Hard (Solo! Not in group.. more effective)

Can you guys enlighten me why goin solo is better?

I'm guessing:
Only one lure
Quicker entry and exit
A lot more difficult to organise a full pt, and if you do, you won't get a chance at all the drops available (probably )

[Kawakaya]

Yea there's that but you can always join an afk party. Sorry I havnt been specific, what I meant was does being in a party affect its drop chance?

To the above statement:
It seems like a 5 man party increases your drop rate for common items, but decreases your the drop rate for rare items like some of the stones and the lotus spoon. I found more of the rare items solo vs being in a full party.
