Hmm... do they get a larger attack and accuracy bonus at 30 than they normally do?

Thats what I'd like to know.

[Rashiid]

Changes occur from:

Lv. 11 and Lv 21.

[Sychosis]

No, they don't http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Edit: This was to answer omegapirate's question. (Not the original question that started the thread. That one's already answered.)

Correct me if I'm misreading this, but shouldn't they gain a slightly higher % at 30 than say 29?

Ex: http://www.psupedia.info/index.php?title=Foie
To decipher (assuming I'm getting this right):
Foie level 1-10: (8 PP per cast) / 231-240% damage / burn LVL 2

Foie level 11-20: (10 PP per cast) / 242(?)-250% damage / burn LVL 3

Foie level 21-30: (10+? PP per cast) / 252-270% damage / burn LVL 4

In other words, level 30 Foie should have the max of 270% damage, but it will still cost as much PP to cast as it did at 21, as well as the same level of burn (i.e., 4).

yea my diga went up 2 % i think when it hit 30 but still looked the same

[Miyoko]

At Lv30, your techs will have the highest damage / pp ratio efficienty and whatnot. I think... ^-^;

[Lastat27]

After level 21, photon arts get 2% dmg per level instead of 1% increases. . 21-30 = 18% increase. Most likely to make up for ATA not increasing after 21. From 29-30 there is no "super bonus". It's just another 2% and bragging rights.

But in a game where a unit as useless as the black heart is worth 1 mil, then bragging rights are everything.

[Almalexia]

Hello, I spent a mil on MEGA/STAMINA INFUSED WITH DEAD DECOMPOSED RAT INTRAILS. WORSHIP ME.

[Akaimizu]

Yes, but in this game Rat Entrails are a *premium*. It's not like those Baldur's Gate games where Rats are the first monsters you meet. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

(I even poked a little fun at the possible super rarity of earth-borne animal species in Tynselle's backstory)

I'm a bit miffed by the whole level 30 thing. I got my Rising Bullets to level 30 & theres barely anything there, you know, you've maxed the skill, surely there should be more to the final itteration of a skill???

[Akaimizu]

I understand, I did that with 2 bullets on my twin Handguns. Freeze and Silence. Both to level 30. It took approximately 80 hours of actual use to get each bullet to 30 individually.

It was an experiment. Oh well, you live and learn. Nowadays, I concentrate to raise a bullet to 21, and then let them raise naturally, later. That way, I have a load of levelled bullets instead of just the few. There's a ton of time invested between 21 and 30.

Level 30 for forces matches up with the orpa/force unit... as for other pa's some skill pa's have a third combo link at 30 and there are other units that enhance that at 30 as well, not online yet... as far as I know right now other then some skills getting a third combo lvl 30 is just a number for right now...

What are you talking about? Unless there are more combos in the upcoming expansion then skills have a max of whatever it says in the description of the photon art. You can say anything you want if it makes you happy but at least back it up with some sort of evidence so others don't get misinformed. This is how rumors get spread.

Also, don't read too much into that Orpa / Force unit. It's simply the unit that gives the biggest stat boost offline. Doesn't add anything fancy to techs.

By that standard the De Ragan slayer (S Rank sword) actually kills a De Ragan in a single blow. >.>

Please read what I say, not "into" what I say. I never stated anything new with units, just that there are units that maximize your techs/pa's when they hit 30 (technically any level but we're talking about lvl 30 pa's) and I can think of a few skills with a third combo at 30, double sabers spiral dance and sword's tornado break just to name a couple, and as far as the level 30 being max, that is still not clear as the expansion pack might add to pa and character levels and class levels. No one is sure about the details but any game can be updated and added onto, just think about how many people said pso couldn't have anything new when it first came out, even with episode 2 they said these things. It's best to wait for all the updates to say anything is leveled off or maxed and it would also be nice to get all the info on the expansion pack as well... To end a long rant, like i said before, for "right now" level 30 is a number.

uhm, no PA gets a third combo at 30, they get the third hit of the combo at 21.

oh, and they don't need an expansion to increase character levels, they already do that. And there are already rumors that advanced class levels may go to 20 in the future.

The simple answer of the question, is that nothing special happens at 30. Plus PAs have descriptions that say how many hits the combo can get up to. Any that get an additional hit at 11 will say 2(or 3) and any that get another hit at 21 will say 3. They will not be added to.

Sorry, meant 3rd combo by 30, not at 30, didn't explain that well, just trying to state some pa's get a third combo before the pa is "maxed".


Also, you don't have to add another combo to add to a pa. They have updated pso bb way past what people origonally thought, and psu is still new, you have no idea what they have planned for the future and thats why we play. It could be that level 30 is it, and I'm fine with that, but I've learned never to say never, unless you work for sega nobody knows whats gonna be the end of the line...
