[Ether]

ue to the holiday week as well as the New Year, the next major update will hit the Phantasy Star Universe servers on January 12. Since the gap is a bit longer than normal, this release will be considerably larger than previous updates. Take a look at what we have planned for this release!

* All new Mission Type available within Moatoob!
* Many new clothes types, including the Swimsuit!
* Brand new Photon Abilities, Bullet Types, and TECHNICS
* Level cap increased to 70!
* Chapter 3 of the new and exciting GUARDIAN Missions
* Weapon and Synthesis items up to Rank 10!
* New room items, decorations, and more!

http://phantasystaruniverse.com/community_quests.php

[Shiro_Ryuu]

hold on, so there are gonna be S rank weapons, and for every weapon type available? if so, then I guess I think I'll forget the Heavy Twins and go for Two-Headed Ragnus.

[Remedy]

No, there won't be.

More than likely, that just means there'll be some 10* synthesis materials in the shop or something.

[Magician]

I hope we're getting some long coats for male clothes in this update.

me/ - crosses fingers

[Cry0]

so, will you b able to buy the new ones, or is it pa fragment only? and if so, how much?

[Hotashi]

Various prices, but these aren't the PA Frag ones. ;3...

[Itchee]

Remedy posted this earlier...tho I dont know where the thread ran off to....

Dark/Light bullets for Simple Guns: 5,000 meseta
Dark/Light bullets for Advanced Guns: 10,000 meseta
Buff Technics: 9,000 meseta
Debuff Technics: 6,000 meseta
Damu- Technics: 4,000 meseta
Damumegid: 6,000 meseta
Ramegid: 4,500 meseta
Sword - Spinning Break: 18,000
Fists - Bogga Zubba: 12,000
Spear - Dus Robado: 18,000
Double Saber - Gravity Dance: 36,000
Axe - Anga Redda: 36,000
Twin Saber - Assault Crush: 18,000
Twin Dagger - Moubu Seiran-zan: 18,000
Twin Claw - Renzan Seidan-ga: 36,000
Saber - Gravity Strike: 9,000
Dagger - Shunbu Shouren-zan: 9,000
Claw - None: No Price

[PMB960]

Yay it is going to cost over 150K to get all the techs and PAs I want. I only have 180K now.

[Akaimizu]

Sorry Jasmine (My PM). I guess you'll have to stay at 40 for a bit. All of my money needs to be saved for Buff/Debuff technics.

[Magician]

I need the Anga Redda and the Bogga Zubba, there goes 48k.

[Akaimizu]

I think the Buff and Debuffs will cost me 43K. That is, if we have 3 different techniques, each. Not too bad. I have over 30K right now. I might have more, when I get back; if my store sold anything.

My PM might suffer a bit; but it looks like my chances of getting them, when the update comes around, is 100%.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Akaimizu on 2007-01-09 10:03 ]</font>

[Magician]

As it stands, I'm looking to spend 810k with the update.

Sori-senba, 360k
Axe Pikor [B], 165k
Gudda Gant [B], 165k
x18 Mot Ebon, 72k
Bogga Zubba PA, 12k
Anga Redda PA, 36k

...which leaves me with a little under 200k for additional synths.

Eeeeeeeek....

[Calo]

Finally, white bullets!

I hope at least.

[Witchblade56]

Wait so we will be getting synthesis boards and mats for 10* items?

If thats the case -WOW- thall be cool http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

No, 9* boards.

The 10* weapons and synth mats is a misprint unless JP is getting new 10* weapons. To my knowledge, all the possible 10* synth mats are already available.

[Witchblade56]

Oh no I meant from npc's so we arent paying exuberent over inflated prices from players ^_^

[kevington]

Hmm, do those bullets include long bow bullets?

[Phetty]

Yes they include the Bow bullets. And theyll be 5k each.

[Magician]

Nope, just 9* boards.

We probably won't be able to buy 10* boards from the npc store for at least another month, if not longer down the road.

[Numnuttz]

hmmm after seeing these prices i guess i need to stockpile more money in the next couple of days. i feel short for some reason.

[ACH]

Are the new skills only better then the already existing ones or are they just better in other situations? (If anyone happens to know.) I have a ton of Skills and Bullets to level already. I did max out Rising Crush, Renkai Buyou-zan and Spiral Dance but that does little good since I changed from FG to PT recently..

[-Crokar-]

well ill lose 410k in the first 5 minutes. the rest of my money is to waste on clothes

I know, I may want some new threads too, but I may have to hold off on clothes until I fill my weapon palette. It'll be tough for me to resist if I saw something I like in this update.

[Zato-2TWO]

Is it true that they are going to release boards for traps?

[Sgt_Shligger]

Wasting money on cloths? Pure nonsense! You gotta look good too ;D

[Abarai-Renji]

crap. i shoulda set aside alot money already. crap crap crap.

[Caukin]

Big question. A -grinder boards?

[EJ]

no A grinder boards in this update, since it just came out in the JP version not too long ago.

[SolomonGrundy]

Does anyone have video's of what these Photon Arts look like? I don't want to waste money/time on PAs that are unworthy.

[AlieNxxxxxxxx]

Since all I do as my force is give resta and use my bow's right now... So I would love to give more support other than resta.

[Schubalts]

I have the website with high resolution PA videos, lemme go find it.

Edit: Found it, here it is.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Schubalts on 2007-01-09 16:10 ]</font>

[huntlyon]

but will these next level PAs do more damage or just "look cool"... I'm going to bother unless there's some serious worthwhile benefit

[Schubalts]

Some do more damage, some hit more enemies, some execute faster than others, some have lower or higher PP costs. They all have different functions compared to current PAs.

An example is the knuckle PA we have now. It's a ton relatively quick attacks that can rack up a lot of damage to a group of monsters.

The PA we're getting Friday is a single, slow charge that hits multiple enemies/targets, or one enemy multiple times. It also knocks away every enemy that is hit by the charge, and each hit can knock down larger enemies.


So, it's all personal choice for which ones are worth it.

[Zato-2TWO]

Can anyone confirm the rumors about Trap boards? It would certainly save me loooots of money if I could synth my own traps.

Yea, just one strong, slow attack. No second or third parts to it.

Double Saber - Gravity Dance: 36,000

is that the 3 part gross spinning combo PA?

Also, why do claws have to look so stupid? I really like some of their PAs...

Thx for info means alot

[AlieNxxxxxxxx]

How much will Shifta, deband, zalure, and jellen cost... When they come out on friday, I need to know how tmuch to save up.

[Magician]

9k each

Okay, 36k it is =]
*Saves*
Thank you.
Now I can give more support other than resta http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Since I hate techs and I love bows. Techs = shit

You saved up 1mil meseta!? wow. commitment right there.

[Akaimizu]

Yeah. He's that committed. I actually hit my record of over 50K saved up, last night. Thanks to business from my store and some good runs. Lost some of that due to buying the wrong gun. (Darn, thought it was double). Still, not a big loss, and if people find my store, I should make it back fairly quickly. Still, it's a great single-handed gun. Grinded 4 times even, but I'm not about single handguns. I'm about the Twin Gunnies. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

once had a whole mob [bout 5] of Vandas' kill each other in story w/ a light-based mech-gun http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[well, last one i had to finish]

[SolomonGrundy]

Can anyone confirm/deny that putting jellen/shift on the same wand has any sort of additional effect?

Also, can you use reverser to get rid of the damage you take from the spell Megistar? Cause that's a wand combo right there! (Megistar/reverser)

[Witchblade56]

i know theres aboost for having 4 spells of the same element on your rod. I dont know if the modifier helps with Jellen or zalure if it is equipped.

The only way i know that the /buffsdebuffs work is if you use them repeatedly. Itsuki-chan, remedy and inazuma could better inform us.

1) if they're both stat boosters/degraders, then no.
the tyme lengh/effect is the same

2) No, megistar's status is not really a status, just drains HP, cant reverser wats not there http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Akaimizu]

Hmm. So the info is that stat boosters/degraders don't level up like the other techniques(possibly increasing their amount of boost/degrade)?

So if they don't level up, I guess that's why they don't get a boost for being together. I always thought the boost was simply faster increasing EXP for levelling them up.

[Rashiid]

Stat boosters do level, but the speed of their leveling doesnt change, reguardless of wat you put it on

putting them on the same rod/staff would increase the elemental %, but thats no help unless you have like Foie/Rafoie/Damfoie/Shifta

it would effect the other Foie Family's power, but Shifta remains Shifta

[Dymalos]

I seriously doubt that 10* weapons or boards will be available for purchase on the 12th. I don't even think the Japanese can buy these yet. On the otherhand, 10* boards are already available as loot, i.e. Crea Doubles and the Halarod.

Here is what I think we will recieve in terms of weapons:
We will have the ability to purchase 8* weapons/armors directly from the NPC Merchants for 180K.
We will be able to purchase 9* synthesis boards for weapons/armors from the NPC Merchants for 165K.
Vulcaline will be available for purchase from the Synthesis shop for 8K.

Pretty much just Reverser and all of the Buffs and Debuffs.

I'm pretty sure that none of the buffs or debuffs rely on TP. And I think the ones that drain your HP to keep their effect going don't rely on TP, but I never used them so I'm not sure.

[Ananiah]

In the main PSU web site. It stated that:

Due to the holiday week as well as the New Year, the next major update will hit the Phantasy Star Universe servers on January 12. Since the gap is a bit longer than normal, this release will be considerably larger than previous updates. Take a look at what we have planned for this release!

* Level cap increased to 70!
* Chapter 3 of the new and exciting GUARDIAN Missions
* Weapon and Synthesis items up to Rank 10!
* New room items, decorations, and more!

All of this content makes for one of the most action packed updates yet!

!!!

[daniel_drago]

just here to clarify that de/buffs are not effected by TP and are not effected by being on e.g. a rod with techs on the same type e.g. 3 foie spells with shifta, shifta will still be the same so you might aswell just put all 4 buffs and debuffs on the same rods together to get them casted quickly

Yes, the question was "Which weapons are going to be released on the 12th..."

[Feelmirath]

I guess I should buy myself a Sori-Senba, damu techs, support techs, etc...

Heh, I'll probably end up spending 712k AT LEAST. D:

[Rashiid]

my suggestion: buy buff spells last [as a fortetecher]
most of them dont even benefit us, and war/gun techers are gonna get em themselfs

not sayin just diss em, but get them last

[Akaimizu]

Well, you know it that us guntechers will be all over those Buff/Debuff techs. I've been looking forward to them since day one of the US release, even more so when I first heard about expert classes and already decided which one I would be.

Still, I'm one to believe we can share and share a like. Since techers also need to concentrate on their primary, they will be stretched to use *all* the buff/debuffs at the same time. In some cases, we can always use another technique chucker, to cover the other half or something. It's always nice to have everybody free to concentrate on raising precisely what they want to raise, at the time. Maybe it's a good strategy to pick them last, but then again, there's benefits both ways.

Even before the buffs, I've technique-shared with quite a few forces, just so we could raise what we want, and make it easier to concentrate on select techs per mission run.

wait, regrants hurts you...is that spell NOT tied to TAP?

[Golto]

It would be a real depature for the US server to get stuff before the JPN one. So is the line about 10* weapons from offical sources or just more rumors? Maybe it should have been 9*.

[drizzle]

It may be just the materials that go up to 10*

[Siertes]

I wouldn't be surprised if US players starting getting some stuff ahead of JPN. Gotta maintain our population somehow.

[Umberger]

I think it just means that (more) 10* boards for weapons will drop, and 10* synth items will be available. They never say "You will be able to buy" in that sentence.

But I think we will be able to buy 9* boards.

This was from the offical Phantasy Star Universe web site.

[Dymalos]

That's great. But we're not getting purchaseable 10* Weapons on the 12th. We wouldn't get these ahead of the Japanese, it just isn't happening.

On the otherhand, the Crea Doubles and the Halarod are already obtainable on our servers. To my knowledge those are still the only 10* weapons the Japanese have so I don't believe we'll be getting any new 10* weapon boards.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Dymalos on 2007-01-11 06:21 ]</font>

[Utera]

Does the update come to 360 PC and ps2?

[Dymalos]

I'm a 60 Guntecher 6, and I'm not that particularly interested in Buffs. I'm probably only going to pick up Agtal and Zodial. These are probably the only ones which would actually have a noticeable impact at only a 10% boost.

Seriously, look at your Stats, what the heck is 10% of your defense going to do? I know it includes the Shield Line into the equation but even the best Shield Line and the Best Race/Job/Gender combo at level 70 only yields 372 defense, add the Deband and you're looking at a 37 point defense boost? So you're taking 7 or 8 less points of damage per hit? Honestly, not worth my time to cast this on you. Even if I was a Fortetecher and had this Technic at lvl 21 it would only prevent 14-16 damage, and that is a total joke.

As a Guntecher, my MST and TP is already crap, why the heck would I bother with Retial. The MST boost would reduce a negligible amount of damage. If I were grouped with a Fortetecher they would already have this on themselves and it'd be better.

Oh and btw, If you need Debuffs to tag things, then you're doing it wrong.

[Utera]

Is this update coming to UK too

[Akaimizu]

I'm getting all buffs because I really don't care what it will do with MY stats. I completely care what it will do with everybody else's stats. In some ways, it'll feel a bit like my role in PSO. I'd help boost the party members and debuff the monsters. Even if I didn't change a whole lot, I'm happy that I effectively turned the party into a powerful wrecking machine.

[Hyda]

Agh, Ive gotta spend everything...Well this is gonna be a set back for a little bit in the cash funds department but its worth the while for all these arts and bullets and spells>_>

My defense example was using the stats from a Female Cast Fortefighter 70/10 basically the highest defense possible. Trust me the Deband technique is a waste of meseta. You're free to try it yourself but for my money Agtal and Zodial are the only worthwhile buffs. I'm also basing this off of the experiences of Itsuki-chan who has used these spells on the Japanese servers.

Gudda Gant [B], 165k
x18 Mot Ebon, 72k
Bogga Zubba PA, 12k
Anga Redda PA, 36k

...which leaves me with a little under 200k for additional synths.

Eeeeeeeek....



You saved up 1mil meseta!? wow. commitment right there.


Although our economy on ps2/pc is f'ed up, and hardly anything is for a reasonable purchase in player stores, It is easier to earn money on the ps2/pc servers. I haven't even held 1mil, I can't imagine what it would be like to raise it on a LEGIT economy...

[Rashiid]

well i have 80k, and thats for the new spells [excluding the buffs for now] and maybe clothes

and extra meseta [im sure ill have 50k left] i might get the buff spells.

i was hoping that they would have sum sort of force/newman clothes coming out.

depending on how much i make before the update 2nite, may just get a card, cane is so lonely on my palette.....

[Akaimizu]

As was said before, Magician was determined, and he's a very shrewd and good Store owner. His reasonable prices has helped his cash flow, and he's been very good about farming for meseta. He's good at knowing which places to go, and he's dedicated. His amount of play hours shows it. I can vouch for his legitimacy.

I didn't think anyone was questioning it.

Personally, I've got 460k saved up for the update thanks to the fact that I already sold my clothes and armor. So if you see a line shieldless, starter clothes wearin, lvl 51 female newman wandering around tonight be sure to say hi. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Akaimizu]

Interesting. I think I've already run into you, online before. Yep. Your name definitely rings a bell.

[Itsuki]

The effort it takes me to get 100k meseta on the JP server is almost equal to the effort it takes me to get 1mil on the US server. ~_~ Sad but true.

I don't know how it is on the 360 though.

[Garnet_Moon]

Just tell me when Copernia is available in shops. That's the only thing I care for atm. My Crea Double had a gimp % so I just kind of gave it away. I hate 10*'s now. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

BTW, my 31st straight 'Crea Prototype' weapon broke just now. I wish Copernia wasn't 240k per gem. It makes buying them up a pain.

You are correct sir! Sorry that circus thing is contagious. I partied with you Nyasia, Isobel, Magician, and Aurelianis last week, but I've been under the weather lately so lately I've only been online long enough to check my shop.

I guess Itsuki-chan is right about the economies. I think I usually pay 1 or 2k for copernia. Maybe Shimarisu will drop in and give us a 1st hand comparison.

If you're level 60, do the first room in the 2nd Story mission over and over. You should net yourself at least 5 copernia an hour doing this.

Ah, hello Keynote. I didn't know you were a psow member. Excellent, yet another player to move up to #2 priority on my partner card list. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[ParableApple]

so, what time does this happen? Oh, and tell me the time zone as well, as I'm GMT.

[Magician]

Seems to always happen at 2am friday mornings for me.

CST, US.

[initial_J]

During normal maintenance hours. Fridays 7am to noon GMT

[Kero]

(EU/US Version) So, question for JP players:
So do you know what S rank weapons we are going to get(from next patch[12.1])? Any new double sabers, or only Crea Double?

[Magician]

We should be getting nothing as JP players have nothing new.

Or...am I wrong?

[Kesena1Tsum1]

See i thought we were getting 9* and 10* weapons, but i guess everybody says we arent getting them in the jan 12th update.. I could have sworn JP got them Dec 12th... Oh well ;-;

Thanks!
Being able to set priority for partner cards is pretty useful.

[Magician]

9* weapon boards, yes
10* weapon boards, no

The only 10* weapons still available in JP are Crea Double and Halarod.

We (NA & EU) are always one step behind JP, so even if JP received new 10* weapons we will not see them until the update after 1/12.

[Kero]

Oh sh........ And I sold everything for damn low price like 99 Gra photons for 500 ea.. Eww.. And my money is wasted now, becose erm.. inflation... AWGH! I lost almost everything.

Well, that reply was directed towards Kesena. As a PC/PS2 you may very well get new 10* weapons, but us X360 players are always a step behind PC/PS2, that's what I meant and not so much "NA&EU vs JP" since a good number of JP players are on X360.

[Witchblade56]

I dont think people really consider the bonus of deband [especially when its leveled beyond 11] for missions like Onma s. The def boost + your appropriate armor element can or will save you alot of scapes and PP for the healer.

Im getting the debuffs as well. People say "Lame; if you need to use debuffs to tag blah blah blah." Personally? I dont want my team mates getting flattened to the floor by S rank mobs. Deband is what theyll get and you can bet yer ass ill be soloing a ton to get it up past 11. Same for my debuffs. Ill be leveling all of these so that i can ideally take care of any group that i may be in. Tagging with debuffs will free me up to level my attk spells better without fear of losing exp.

I have a different philosophy to my playstyle. I have been waiting patiently in the background slowly leveling my force to get to fortetecher so that when i did finallly get these spells id still be leveling them on my force job. I'll have greater enjoyment of my playtime in this way.

I believe a better outcome can be achieved overall by working your debuffs/buffs/nuking than just selecting 2 of the three. Does this mean that possibly ill have a bigger headache for spells on different rods? Yep.

[Akaimizu]

You might have that headache, but then again, that's what cooperation is for. It's not like us -techers are planning on *not* sharing spells if another technique chucker is in the party. I'll just kindly ask which techs are you trying to raise, and I'll choose the other ones. However, you best bet that I'll probably not volunteer attack spells unless you really insist. Folk like us often consider their offensive spells a joke for damage, and wont pretend to think that they can substitute any of those for ones from a real force.

Resta, Reverser, Buffs, Debuffs. Oh yeah, we'll share them if only to help you raise certain things faster, allowing you to concentrate on your favorite techs. And of course, to make your wand/staff configurations, a doddle to handle.

[Witchblade56]

My preference [from my days as FFXI RDM] is to keep buffs up on my party members, debuff the mobs and nuke last.

My siggy does say guntecher on it but i really want to play force/foretecher. Ill be doing plenty of soloing/duoing to get my spells up on my own. I want all my buffs/debuffs on par for when my character hits that 50 level mark to do s ranks.

I'll def look out for you though akai if you want to level certain techs and we are partying together http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif That goes for anyone else too.

[Maridia]

Hm, I don't suppose anyone knows, but do you think ST is going to release the OTHER COLORS for the newest clothes they had out before Christmas? You know, the priestess type outfit, etc. When I first saw that set a few months ago, I was happy, then they release it and don't even release the blue shirt I wanted D:<

I could care less about the samurai outfit. JUST GIVE US ALL FIVE COLORS PLEASE <_<

[Kero]

Err... Someone told me that we are not going to get Ultimate PAs for long time, is this true? If its not, can someone tell me how to get them? I got like 130 PA fragments.
