RIP The original thread (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195866) :


So I didn't see a thread like this and thought it would be good to have one for the people who just have a quick simple question that needs a quick answer.
Just keep adding questions or answers~

Well, I wanted to ask in the original thread, but if it's gone (temp or not), I may as well ask here...

Once I get my Mag to 100 and I can use an evolution device to change its appearance, do I have to worry about it changing every 5 levels anymore? Or will it stay on that look (also, Auto-Attack + Photon Blast) regardless of whatever stats I pump from 100 -> 175?
I just want to be sure before I use the device and 10 excubes to alter it.

Nope, once you use an evolution device, that form stays. I think same applies to the PB devices, too.

1000 FUN points and banking on getting good stuff out of them (usually not too bad odds with this). Grinders used to be a great way to use them when they were 10k a pop but they're worthless now. Can't recommend much else because most of it is locked to your inventory.

When I was leveling up Ra up to 30, I pretty much leveled up solely by unlocking areas (Koffe's quests gave a lot), and doing Hans/Kressida COs. Revelle's would help too, and of course there's your main class person's quests. Hard Falz Arms whenever you can, they give a decent amount of exp for little effort. Try getting some friends together to do hard time attack client orders (Klotho), they give a good amount of EXP and a really good amount of meseta.

Only the claw knows.


And can someone answer my question in the quote?

Keep unlocking areas until you have them all unlocked and do Koffie's stuff, SP COs and fighter unlock when they come up.

Matterboarding might help, you can grind the items with stronger affixes from there or you can just buy rares for your level from player shops (be aware that they're harder to grind).

When you unlock fighter, you don't need to worry about leveling it immediately, but if you plan to use it even as a sub you should get some levels into it (either with COs or running around in fields 10 levels above you with overpowered weapons).

You should also be trying to get into N/H TACOs, daily if possible, to start racking up money if you haven't already. There's a guide in my signature. They're a little confusing at first but you'll pick them up quickly.

hey, me again ^^

i'm getting a message with a yes or no selection before missions sometimes, and im wondering if anyone can tell me what its asking.

(info if it helps)
it's a free exploration mission, friends only setting

i can make out "partner character" and "client order" in katakana. i have a few client orders which need me to finish with the given character only. is it maybe asking about that in someway?
i have not seen this message before so was it something in an update maybe?

If a boss is targetted, all you do is kill that boss as much as you can.
If a Time Attack Quest is targetted, you need to clear that Time Attack Quest as fast as you can.

Bosses will have 5x drop rate and 25% more chance to be boosted (and 100% Rare Enemy rate just for this week against Vardha Soma and Blu Ringuarder).
Time Attack Quests will have double Experience and 10x more meseta at the end.

Actually you can, but I've only seen it with 2 Chain Triggers on the same spot creating a cluster fuck of blue numbers and any of the Chains can be activated with a PA while the other one (assuming you're in this situation doing the chain while with some one else at the same time) can be activated when you do your PA. So you do get to do it on the same spot, but it is completely separate from the other C.T. and you don't benefit from your partners C.T. in damage aside from taking out said enemy faster.

I'm not sure if this wasn't possible early on, but it does work now.

IRs are okay for rares, speaking from an statistical standpoint we got maybe 10-15 rare weapons between the four of us in IRs yesterday. But even with massive RDR boosts, randomness is still randomness.

On the other hand, a teammate got 7-8 10* in quarry free field over the course of a few hours (mostly Bloody Arts, I think).

Hey gang,

I'm a Hunter/Fighter (lev 43/16). In looking for some new weapons I found there is a katana called Roundeet that is multi-class. So I am giving it a shot.

BUT, when I have it equipped, I can use it for normal attacks, but I cannot use any PAs (I have learned Tsukimi 6, Gekka 6 & Kanran 9). I can't figure out why I can't execute the PAs; I can equip them just fine, but they are always grayed out when I'm in battle, and attempting to use them results in an audible error sound. And this is a multi-class weapon…

Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

In order to use Katana PAs you would have to either main or sub Braver. Since you are doing neither as Hunter/fighter, you can't use Katana PAs.

Yes it would. In fact the Daganslash would probably do more damage to darkers in any case because 10% damage goes a long way compared to 90 ratk. I'm not totally sure, but I'm pretty sure.

I'd recommend Lambda Hyperion or Lambda Jagriath. If you plan to main fighter anytime soon or want access to WL on fighter get Hyperion, if you plan to keep maining hunter get Jagriath. Neither of them are particularly expensive.

Either way, it'll be worth it to grind it to +10 as soon as you get it.

If you can't use either of those but desperately need an upgrade, you can get the non-Lambda versions which are similarly probably in the toilet pricewise. I wouldn't go all out grinding either of those though, their time of usefulness is short.

No. Depending on your race/gender you will be 11 (casts and caseals) to 22 (newmans and newearls) short.

You can mitigate it by spending extra points in Braver's first skill (dex boost) buuut that's probably a waste of points.

I wouldn't rule out more weapons with higher dex reqs in the future either, especially for braver. So 20-30 points would not go amiss.

Dex on units doesn't affect what you can wear, only your race/gender/class/skills and your mag do.

The level cap increase is coming within the next month, so that might help you, but I wouldn't count on getting any more than 15-20 points from getting to 65/65.

I bought some cheap units to try it out before I got to read your reply, yep they didn't work. I really want to go with a pure s-atk mag so I'm going to use SPs on my skill tree to increase my dex.

My br is at lvl 54, I can spare 4 SPs (that is intended to go to combat JA) to add to Ability up1. Is that enough to reach 430 dex at 60/60 br/hu? How much more dex do I need to reach 430?

My char is human male and my mag is at 128 s-atk.

The thing is, it works out better to sacrifice satk on your mag as opposed to damage% bonuses on your tree because even 1% is worth a lot of satk at 60/60. Then again you're asking about braver which I really don't know about because I don't play it.

In any case, you can use this skill simulator (http://ryuhiroshi.funpic.de/pso2/skillcalc.php) to figure out a plan that'll work for you.

A question about element grinding as it stands now. If I have a 10* with 28 dark, what do I need to use to bring it up to 50 with minimal fuss?

A question about element grinding as it stands now. If I have a 10* with 28 dark, what do I need to use to bring it up to 50 with minimal fuss?

The same 10* with 22+ dark will bring it to 50 in a single go
The same 10* with a different element will add 10 per one, so 2 will bring it to 48.
Any other 10* will add 1 element regardless if it matches or not, so you would need 22 without 5% boosters (which then will take 3 5%s + 7 10*s to hit 50)

More often or not, the cheapest option is to find the same 10* with the same element to grind elements.

To make this easier:
My Yas: 24 Dark
Yas on market: 25 Ice
I want to change the Ice to Dark so that I can get to 49 Dark on mine.

It's either that or changing mine to Lightning (which would be a better choice). Main idea is, does the element change apply first then the bonus to same element?

You'd have to attribute grind the Ice one to get it to become Dark first, no other way around having to use a weapon for that. You could just use a pyro 10* though, that'd bump it up to 26 Dark as well if memory serves correctly. After that you get 24+26 = 50 Dark on your target Yasmin.

It's either that or changing mine to Lightning (which would be a better choice). Main idea is, does the element change apply first then the bonus to same element?
Attribute Grinding first, element changes after. ie. 2x Ruin Mirage Dark's (30) -> 50 Dark and if you use an element changer, you get 50 <new element>.

With Yoshino Tefura, one of the outfits that adds the most height (to my knowledge), the support character can be at about 127/8-ish cm. This is still smaller than the smallest height you can make a character at (139 cm) with no height added to their outfit.

A Launcher Legacy at +10 with 0 element is pretty much 976 R-atk.

From my understanding, Rapid Shoot affect ONLY the normal attacks' damage, as they are divided by 3, but you make 3 shots at one click. Meanwhile, if you have Rapid Shoot Up, it will affect Bullet Bow's PA damage (increasing it), but only during Rapid Shoot duration.

If you don't want to be completely outclassed, only force.

Braver's strength as a main lies in katana and bow. Braver's skilltree bonuses are pretty mediocre, BUT if your main has enough chargeable attacks it can be used as a substitute for fighter. Average Stance offers 21% to all damage, or 33% to chargeable attacks. This might be good for hunters that focus on swords and partisans but don't want to deal with fighter stance dancing.

It's not doing headshots or not, it's more about hitting weakspots or not.

Most of mobs' head are a weakspot (rappies, yede, dinian ..). I don't think Predicahda have a weakspot set on head (only belly red core), so you won't do extra dmg.

You can easily check it with Homing emission, lock on multi parts, check the damages. Highest damages would be weakspots.

*Solely looking at this from a braver perspective, because I don't play force*

On paper weak stance is better because it gives a larger damage bonus. However, in practice I find that it requires continuous re-positioning and strategy to target the weak spots and get that larger damage bonus. Even when targeting the weak spot you have to hit it at the right angle or its worthless. I've been putting points in both weak and average stance and I find average better for all around damage boosts.


And for any naysayers out there, I plan to use an all skills tree reset once I max out my classes so I'm not wasting points in both trees.

MetalDude
Sep 16, 2013, 01:32 PM
Katana, no. Bow, yes. If you think you can spare points to pick up WS and WSU, try to get both if you roll Katana. The situational bonus is quite substantial if you're not taking too big of a loss to your Katana skills. For Bow, there's very little reason to put any points into AS. Nearly every enemy in the game has a readily available weak point and most bosses have one that get exposed very easily with enough damage (which Bows can put out very quickly as it is).

In maps where the enemies are weak to lightning, yes.

Otherwise you will want to take Force/Fighter or Force/Techer, although you can take Force/Braver with Average stance to not worry about direction, but you'll be at a permanent 10% loss compared to Force/Fighter.

Fury Stance

Reason for this:

Fury Stance = 125% S-ATK and R-ATK Boost at Lv. 10
Fury Stance Boost 1/2 = 110% S-ATK and R-ATK Boost at Lv. 10

Reason for this:

Fury Stance = 125% S-ATK and R-ATK Boost at Lv. 10
Fury Stance Boost 1/2 = 110% S-ATK and R-ATK Boost at Lv. 10

The way to go is indeed Fury Stance, but for a different reason (and some slight corrections)

If you're choosing between FS and FSU1 that means you already have FS 5. If you're looking for the best mileage for SPs 6-10 you'll want it in FS because of the reduced striking damage vulnerability. The range damage multiplier is just 10% at 10 sp though, up from 5% at 5 sp (compared to striking's 19->25%).

FSU1 does not affect your striking vulnerability.

That said, the first 5 SP in FSU1 gets you access to Fury Combo Up, which is a top priority. Max FCU first, then FS, then FSU1, then JAB 1 & 2.

And for the slight correction, multipliers are not to atk. They're for damage after accounting for the enemy's defense. That might have been what you meant Kora, but I just wanted to be thorough.

Base JA multiplier is 1.3, and they multiply as you'd expect. With both JABs to 10 you'd get 1.3*1.1*1.1=1.57 damage for all JAs.

You get their Partner Cards through a Client Order. In order to get that Client Order, you have to finish the Arks Battle Championship Quest. Which I think it's still available, but it's only open for Level 60 Players.

Nothing too fancy and delicate, really.

When I look at the ranking for interrupt events, I see stuff like a duo killing 57 Vardha Somas in 1 hour.
That's almost one per minute. How is that possible?

Do they have an army of people on separate accounts already waiting at the boss before the event starts or something?

4 level 60, They send a gunner to run past everything using their skills they can go faster, I think the same effect can be gotten from a gunblade dash?
The rest anyway just join when they get to area 3. Sometimes more will run so they can cover more area. Once the warp up is found the others just telepipes back to the ship and comes down on area 3. They kill nothing but the boss

To tack on to this, there's also no mobs spawned if only one person starts the warper while the others are coming in still, the others can join in later.

It involves magic, max CPM DPS builds and weak bullet.

Affixes. I can make like 500k+ from vardha EQ, and of course since AQs are dead that means level 3 affixes are much more expensive than they used to be.

Bursts are very dull though, and maps still have terrible spawn rates (0-2 enemies in a cell on a PC block with >12 risk). I guess nobody who supports the burst nerfs plays melee.

TaigaUC
Sep 17, 2013, 01:22 PM
It was a duo. Duo = 2 people.

I'm estimating around 7 seconds for Vardha Soma's intro.
7x57 = 399 seconds = 6.65 minutes

I've no idea how long it takes them to kill Vardha Soma, but when I was in a full multiparty and Vardha Soma spawned, I think it took at least 20 seconds to kill it.
Two people shouldn't be able to kill Vardha Soma faster than 12 people unless those 12 people are really terrible.
20x57 = 1140 seconds = 19 minutes
Edit: Actually, two Messiah Times and a Weak Bullet on a single weak point would probably kill it immediately.

That leaves roughly 35 minutes to get from the campship to the area 3 teleporter 56 times (not including preparing before the event starts).
35x60 = 2100 seconds divided by 56 (-1 for preparing before the event) = 37.5 seconds of traveling per run.

It takes me at least 5 seconds just to load from campship to area 1, area 1 to 2 and area 2 to 3.
Yes, I have a good PC and internet connection.
That leaves 22.5 seconds to get to the area 3 teleporter from the camp ship.

Is it really possible to consistently get through each area in roughly 10 seconds each?
Even if I added too much time here and there, that's still not much time to travel through each map.

I suppose it's possible if they had a computer idling on a map with teleporters at the start and end of each area and simply rejoined that map over and over?
That would only take maybe 10 seconds per area, so perhaps that's it.

Anyway, thanks for the replies. I don't want to clutter up this thread any further.
I was just wondering if there was some kind of trick I wasn't aware of.

Even as GU, bursts feel insanely slow. I ran into cake sisters recently with the boxes cluttered up meaning enemies were spawning literally inches away from each other and almost immediately after killing one. It was a way better pseudo-burst than a real one would have been.

I'm not sure if this is the case with Soma yet but there are alternate MPA versions of bosses that have much higher HP (rough wave org blan, tyrant rockbear/rogbelt, etc)

also the boss usually dies in under 10 seconds. I don't know what classes that duo was playing, neither of the IRs I played involved gunners

protects are still pretty good yeah, and they usually force you into bursts which spawn fewer enemies than the protect did which is really stupid. they could've done any number of things or at least make solo AQ viable but I guess that's not casual tier enough for them

it shouldn't matter in a month anyway unless they make SH worse than the burst nerf

From a rough translation did over an hour ago, they're going to try to balance bursts. I guess something about making them better than what they are now but nothing close to pre-updated exit bursts. They don't say exits or anything but I think it's implied at this point.

Enemies have a random chance (usually in certain per-deteremined clusters) of shooting out PSE lights. You just have to be lucky and kill fast. It's kind of dumb.

KazukiQZ
Sep 17, 2013, 10:44 PM
Basically, PSE randomly happen when killing enemies, and by having more players in a MPA, the chance for it to happen increase, since more people means more killing. When one of the PSE reach Lv 8, the PSE Burst Chance bar appear and this is the time to kill some more enemies so that PSE Burst can occur.

For PSE Light, sometimes when you're killing enemies, a pillar of light appear from their dead bodies, indicating a PSE has happened/level up.

If you had two slots prior to EP2's launch, you get 1 free slot but that one is considered as a ticket rather than a free slot so it is a 1 time use. For those that had only 1 character before the update, 2nd slot is reusable.

For a soul to transfer you need two fodder for it to appear.

Example: Your armor you want Quartz Soul on is two slots
You get two, two slot Quartz Soul armor pieces from somewhere. Then, click both of those two Quartz Soul armor and it should appear.

You would have to use an all class double saber such as the one obtained from trading in Falz stones or the Amen hotep (or whatever that thing is called.) You would need a fighter sub class to use its photon arts though. If you like double sabers a lot, you'll really want to go fighter though.

Your only semi-decent options for Braver is the iritista double saber or the lambda helfret.

Ah that's right. I get confused with those types of weapons since you'd think they would be.

The option to use that on force is really just silly in my opinion.

Well, yeah, but no at the same time. It makes a bit of sense since there's a partisan (hunter), double saber (fighter), and rod (force).

What doesn't make quite as much sense is the Naur Crescent (sp?), which is fighter, force, and techer with 570 tatk at +10. I'm guessing it's from a previous game?

It was in PSU as a late game Legacy of Light (Guardians Cash mission) drop as a spear and a rod. Had a 10% PA boost on it.

I keep getting a GameGuard has failed to update error whenever I try starting up the game. How do I fix this? D:

If you use PSO2 Tweaker, open up the program and go into the Orb Menu -> Troubleshooting -> Fix Gameguard Errors.

Another Braver question (sorry) but is snatch step a good skill to invest in? I've tried it before and i see step attack a better option and SS just a waste. Am i right or am I *cough* doing it wrong?

From what I know, snatch step allows damage to be done just by stepping and step attack requires you to attack in order to do damage during stepping.

I love snatch step because sometimes when i get frustrated by the number of enemies around me i just start stepping everywhere doing damage and avoiding getting hit. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Humm, that makes a little sense. There we times where I don't know where enemies are and I happen to step into them and kill them. Maybe it is useful...

I asked this in a related thread, but it looks like that thread will die.

I've been playing with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics.

The game runs okay with simple shaders at 1024x600, but my FPS drops to basically 0 during MPAs, certain weapon switches (mine or others), and that stupid desert/quarry dust storm effect.

It seems like a lot of people at pso-world tend to run integrated graphics, so I'll ask here: is there any way to make those effect play more nicely with my setup?

I didn't find anything good about Snatch Step. It is marginally more useful than Step Attack when using Bullet Bow, but the damage you do with it is laughable, and it doesn't seem to have any other uses, like the JA that you get from Step Attack.

So, unless I'm missing something, you are better off skipping the skill altogether. However, something tells me that they'll either buff its range or add another skill that requires you to invest into Snatch Step soon. Though the latter is less likely, since Sega seems more interested in making Braver's skill tree focus on bow and katana gimmicks.

Ok, sounds about right. I just always felt that extra point could go into something more usefull.

None. Chase will not apply to your gun PAs (with two possible exceptions: Parallel Slider's and Impact Slider's physical kicks). Stance dancing, or being forced to hug one side of an enemy or face the task of changing between brave & wise stance and the 60 second cooldowns they have between activations, will massively hinder your damage. Not to mention hunter offers strictly superior damage, better base ratk, and better hp.

The one single advantage fighter could possibly offer is crazy heart - 2x PP recovery when under the influence of a status effect. Adrenaline offers +20-30 seconds per S&D pulse, up to the caster's cap. Ha ha ha, no, fighter doesn't offer anything better than hunter as a sub for ranger.

Snatch step offers a smidgen of damage (lol), a chance to inflict an SE or bind if you have fighter in the mix (I know it inflicts SEs, not 100% on chase bind), and more importantly it flinches enemies. If you're stepping chances are high you're trying to avoid damage or inflict flinch. Snatch step offers a slight bit of protection in the form of offense - the same way step attacking offers a slight bit of protection in the form of offense by flinching enemies. Interrupting an attack is always useful, and snatch step is just another way to do that.

For 1 SP you can't go wrong at all. A lot of people talk down about it, but in small groups it's nice to have that one extra way to guard yourself with properly timed flinching.

Heh, good point with Fighter. As for flinching, to be honest, I haven't noticed enemies flinching much ever since leaving Hard - Carina's regular attack used to be very noticeable in my early Force days, but not anymore, not even in forest.

Yeah, you can use it to interrupt attacks. It's not useful all of the time, but when you're in a bind and about to me flinchlocked to death it's very handy. Let's say you have a wave of set sadinians chasing you down, and you can't even get off one attack - you don't need to! Dodging directly into them forces them all to flinch, which is all the opening you needed.

It's not the most powerful flinch, but it interrupts a number of other things. You can stop a fordran's stomp charge with it too, for instance.
