Better to equip luck boosting regular blades first. Bump the said character's luck to 700+, equip luck boosting accessories, and most importantly u have to know which rare blade you want to unlock so u can use the corresponding elemental booster. As much as possible, open it from zeke, morag and nia. I got all rare blades at around 170 hours in the game (well i was doing a lot of sidequests)
