I finally managed to get myself a Blackbull earlier on today. My palette now consists of Masamunera, Blackbull, Shigga Desta, Song for Death, Meteor Cannon, Arb Maganac, and Cubo Mamba.

Armor wise i'm using a Storm Line.

I have 2.5mil left to spend. What should I aim for next? Weapon wise I think i'm content until 11*'s become a little bit more readily available, so should I start hunting units like the resists, or H/PC? Blackbull was my main target and now i've got it, i'm kinda lost as to where to go from here.

Edit: Actually, forgot about PA's. I'll be spending the rest of tonight PA running so what would people recommend? I already have Twin Mayalee and Phantasm Prism.

Spend your money trying to get all your 9* weapons up to 10/10. Get a storm line in every element, find a solid power s because its better for fortegunners. Invest some money in getting your S ranks to high grinds. That's what I did, I'm currently hunting a rattlesnake, shigga baret and oprad guard

Level your PAs if they're not 31+. Equipment doesn't mean as much when you've got underleveled PAs.

I'm actually scared in trying to grind my Blackbull anymore. I spent a small fortune on Grinder S+10's and it's broken on the 4th grind using them! It's on 2/7 at the moment and that's as far as i'm comfortable taking it, I really don't want to break it again and start reducing it's value.

I have to confess, no I don't. I've not really thought it to be much use with me as i'm always stocking photon charges.


Solid / Power S i'll look into though.

You can always try outfitting your alts as well if you don't want to take up Rattle Snake hunting quite just yet.

I caught that. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I honestly only have a few 9*'s now, but i'll get that sorted.

I haven't found playing my alts that fun now that i've started taking things seriously with my fortegunner. I have an Acrotecher in the making but ended up selling the equipment I was going to give to her. Likewise, my wartecher I also sold the equipment for.

I think Rattlesnake hunting and rampant PA running is where it's at as far as runs are concerned. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well. That or Needle Cannon running. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

If any of you guys need any help with doing hunting runs then feel free to buzz me on live.

Idk why my above post posted twice andsuch along time inbetweeen.

But 2/7 already has lost a lot of its value so youshould just go to max it out!

Grinding *HATES ME* today. I'm using +9's for my A rank weapons and haven't been able to get a gun past 4 grinds. My Arb Maganac is now 0/6 >_<

@Turambar - I've seen a Needle Cannon at 9999999999 in someone's shop a few days ago.

Third grind... 0/6.

Are you sure about that?

2/6 grinded with a +10... 0/5.

Waste. Of. Money.

2/5 grinded with a +10... 0/4.

What the hell is going on?

It's at 1/4. I'm not fscking touching it. That's really, really pissed me off tonight.

Blackbull.

I've just completely annihilated a Blackbull. I honestly can't complain after how much I got for it, but still... Jesus christ, how can it just keep failing me on +10 bloody S grinders?!

If i go to 0/8 i completely stop grinding the s rank unless it something i dont care about (lol @ my 1/1 crimson)

Valvalion
Dec 13, 2007, 06:27 PM
I wish i'd have done the same.

But oh well, I saw a 2/2 still sell for 10mil today so... hey. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

lol sorry, i shouldnt have egged you into grinding it. Truthfully, I just keep both of mine at 4/9.

Edit: Now that I think of it, you should try and grind it to 0/0 for comedy sake. I bet it would actually fetch a nice pretty penny. Just lose your luck to the fortune teller and use S+1's!!! But don't take my word that you'll make a super lot off of it. There's a good chance.

I also prefer HPC. It wasn't a problem really before the expansion, and now Sega have flipped the GIANT EASY MODE switch, I'm needing less ammunition to get the same result. I have both units, gave SPS to my Acrotecher in the end. She's a CAST, works fine.

I feel like my pp dissappears fast enough on my rifles, crossbows and twin pistols with just a solid / power S ( and that doesn't even have a pp reduction). A HPC would only add about 5-10 extra damage and would drain your weapons twice as fast.
