S Rank on EX Misson

[StkDrowsy]

Is there a pro- to getting S rank on the Ex mission, ive only gotten to about 60-70 monster kills, whats the top for s rank?

[Sami]

3 waves and 3 box spawns i think it was. You get extra time to pick up the loot, and ofcourse more chance on rares because there's more enemies.

[Itsuki]

The ending boxes also contain all the good rares. On A-rank parum for example, the ending boxes of both ex missions have the chance for boards for Huge Cutter, Sweet Death, Crimson, Black Bull, Viper, Hyper Viper, and Muzzle Fever. As well as dropping some 9* weapons and units.

EDIT: Ending boxes as in, boxes for beating all 80 monsters. Not the earlier boxes.

dam, so far on A rank I've only gotten to the 2nd boxes. (when I'm in a really good party)

*Must get stronger*

*Must get stronger*I know the feeling. I've been in a few groups doing the Bil de Vear EX on Moatoob or the Jarba one on Parum and we were at like 76/80 when time ran out.

If I weren't freaking level 72, we'd probably be able to clear it. =-.-=;;;

A party I was in had the final boxes spawn literally 2 seconds after the time ran out. Thats the closest I've ever gotten.

It was extremely frustrating. We had 3 FF's spamming Majara and 1 FT using Gidia/Nosdiga. I think everyone was 90+ as well.

Im not entirely sure how people are expected to do it (though I have heard some people have)

Keep in mind, the JP had a level cap of 80, and didn't have majarra... and they still cleared it.

So they are Closer to the Servers....

[Kimil]

I was in a party and I remember that For some reason we got 30 seconds to pick up all the loot... and we weren't sure why... Now I know http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[gryphonvii]

don't stress right now about it, the event is 4 weeks long and on the 4th week we get our chance to get what we missed. By that time any of us will have hit the level cap. I've gained 4 levels ( 84-88) after only a day and a half. And only around half the runs I did were A

That has nothing to do with anything, and it definitely doesn't give them any sort of advantage.

yea me and my friend play it a tcalirfornia and our servers are in san fransisco which is very close to where we are and it plays teh same....

we still only kill like 60-something monsters >.> (i blame him form going from FF to FT XD)

[R2D6battlebot]

so is there a video showing how to do it? i imagine there has to be a constant strategy that the Japanese used, i would greatly like to know how to get them. any help is appreciated

I can clear it on C by myself with 30 seconds left on the clock using Gidiga 30 on Parum EX 2...A is too much though, and I haven't tried B...but I could probably nearly get it.

3 Fortetechers using Gidiga 30 and a Fortefighter with Gravity Break 30 on a decent % Ground Sword to kill the Polavohra fast should be able to do it rather easily. My only other tip is to use Megiverse to open all the boxes fast.

[Ryuk_0]

i can clear it solo on both ex missions if someone is with me i usually tell them to just pick up rares while i kill >.> lol

[beatrixkiddo]

We're all very impressed, Ryuk.

[Ryuk_0]

well its not that im saying that it can be done and with a team of all fortetechers parum can go buy in less than 10

[DarthLasek]

The secret is....getting 4 melee characters...preferably FF...and all have level 30 dus majarra....it works trust me

[New_One]

Wait, there are three sets of boxes?! i've been struggling to open the second lot.

[Turbobrain]

I think there is a way to do it.... although it's not excactly orthodox... lets just say Megiverse+Lag+4 FT'rs= succeed.

[Theoderic]

I know why, and it's because of that reason that people will not get S on EX Missions. I've been trying to set myself up to do so since before the event.

I dont know how though. Ive watched that video a few times and my team has pretty much been doing the exact same thing.

Logic concludes if 4 lvl 80 JP players without Majarra can clear it and make it look so easy, then it should be no problem for 4 lvl 90+ people WITH Marjarra.

Especially when all the charecters (US and JP) take the same ammount of time to cast/attack, etc etc. It seems like somethings changed for us on this side...maybe its just lack of practice though...like I said, I've heard some people say they got all the boxes.

Out of curiosity, does anything good drop from the boxes on C rank?...

[CelestialBlade]

I'm using a pure Yak Zagenga build for Cup missions so my ability to help clear out 80 enemies can sometimes depend on how much damage I soak up XD I think it simply takes a little luck, me and my friends normally average 75-80 kills, so we just pray we end up towards the top end.
