From the front page of the official site, even though most of us already knew this.

GUARDIANS BOOST ROAD

The GUARDIANS Boost Road will give you a special bonus for focusing your efforts into a set of missions for a limited time. The first Boost Road will start at the Moatoob Flyer Base and includes the following missions:

* System Defense
* Desert Terror
* Tunnel Recapture
* Caves of Ice
* Awoken Serpent

The more ranks you earn on all five of these missions the higher your drop rates for missions on the boost road will go up, to a maximum boost of 50%. Your bonus is based on which of the Boost Road missions you have done the least, so be sure to work on all five missions to most effectively build your bonus.

In future updates the Boost Road will be moved to other sets of missions. The Boost Road will also vary between different types of rewards, such as experience or mission points.

VALENTINES LOBBY

Love is in the air as Valentine's Day hits the Gurhal System with very special decorations! Take this time to find that special Guardian you've been thinking of and tell them how you feel. Keep an eye out for a special rare enemy who may be carrying a heart warming surprise.

NEW MISSIONS (AMBITION OF THE ILLUMINUS ONLY

Two Ambition of the Illuminus missions have new high rank versions:
Caves of Ice S2
Awoken Serpent S2

There is a new Rare Free Mission:
Forest of Illusion C to S
Mission Location: Random
A mysterious phantom forest has been seen appearing and disappearing at various locations across Moatoob.

NEW ITEMS (AMBITION OF THE ILLUMINUS ONLY)

Casino-Voloyal uniforms are now available for Females, including parts for CASTS.

New My Room items are now available in the variety shop and for exchange in the Casino. Some existing Casino items will no longer be available, but will return in rotation.

NEW PARTNER MACHINE UPGRADES (AMBITION OF THE ILLUMINUS ONLY)

Extra evolution devices for partner machinery have been added. They are useable on all GH4xx types if required conditions are met. And "GH470" and "GH480" are new partner machine models.

* EX Device GH41x Required: Battle Points over 10
* EX Device GH42x Required: Battle Points over 15
* EX Device GH43x Required: Battle Points over 20
* EX Device GH44x Required: Battle Points over 25
* EX Device GH45x Required: Battle Points over 30
* EX Device GH470 Required: Battle Points over 10 (Boys type)
* EX Device GH480 Required: Battle Points over 30 (butler type)

Note to players who are still using original Phantasy Star Universe:
Original PSU users will see "GHX005" displayed in the screen when viewing Partner Machinery evolved to GH470 or GH480 in a room where original PSU players can enter. Original PSU users will see "GH470" or "GH480" as a plain blue silhouette in the field - this is not a bug.

Inventory Expanding Device:
The "NanoTrancer EX" is able to expand inventory of Partner Machinery. With this device, your Partner Machine's inventory will be expanded by an additional 50 items. You can use more then one to double your PM's inventory from 300 to 600 items.

Well, Chillaura said that they are trying to push the title update through in time for this week's maintenance, so heres hoping.

Anyone know how fast the boost roads build up? Also, if the party's composition changes, some members leave, others join, does that affect the rate, as long as the actual party doesn't disband?

Kitty, get to work on friday. If you don't, I will.

Feb 5, 2008, 04:14 PM
A decent update, but I am mostly looking forward the NanoTrancer EX. I will finally be able to store items again!
Butler PM will be nice also. At first I wanted to get the boy, but the butler PM just seems way too good for not to pick it.
I am glad we got the drop rate adjustment, so the boost road will be at least a bit useful. But bah, I have to get S on all those missions for only a 50% bonus. Although I am so lazy... Cruel!
I hope the voloyal set suits Kyrlia. xD
And looking for phantom forest will be fun, too. And pretty much depressing, too, of course. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I was ready for that the moment swimsuits became available.

Though, putting the Forest of Illusion AND setting Guardian's Boost Road in Moatoob at the same time had to have been done on purpose. The planet that everyone forgot will now be swarmed with people doing those boost missions, looking for the Forest, and then buying the Casino outfit. The Moatoob department of Guardian affairs and tourism must've paid sega off or something.

I think it means that your total boost is reflected upon all of the missions you do, so doing one run alot but ignoring the others won't make a big increase in your bonus. So basically, the best thing to do is to make sure the number of times you play one of your missions isn't lower than the rest.

Title updates need to be matched to the server updates. Otherwise you will load up PSU and just get a black screen. We arrange for the title updates to download after they have been tested during maintenance.

Still no word on this weeks schedule for the Xbox 360.

well get the update IF we get our title update http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I believe the boost road on moatoob was story related.

In case the Boost Road refers to guardians getting PAID, there are tons of jobs to do to help clean up moatoob.

I suppose so, with the aftermath of the massacre, the rogue families reorganizing, and with my fuzzy understanding of the story, I have barely any idea what the trade federation is up to. Moatoob could use all the help it can get.

That's a stiff price for a guy like me, but for the average PSOwer, the price is chump change. I'll be able to buy them eventually though. Anything above the 500,000 mark is too much for me, so the NanotransferX is affordable by my terms. I get to thank Sega today, but I'm sure, I'll be cursing them out later. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Ok, I understand the last two devices, the 470 and 480 turn your PMs into the male ones...but what do the others do? Soup up your PM? Or allow you to switch between PM types (like from 41x to 45x)? Does anyone know how this works?

250k, from the room goods shop. To use, feed your PM the NAnoTrancerEX item. And contrary to what was posted, the limit is *500* items, not 600.; so whatever you do, don't buy 6 of them!
