Are there any additional Extreme Passes sources?

[Kosmeg]

I just calculated, I need 250 passes to get weapon I need, since I can get 6 ores from 0 --> 50 run (4 at the end and 2 from 180+ fragments).
30 * 5 = 150 ores.
150 / 6 = 25 runs from 0 to 50 floor
Each run from 0 to 50 requires 10 passes, so 250 passes are needed.

250 passes is... 250 days and that's crazy.
Are there any sources I can get those aside of Pudding?
For that 250 days some better weapon may appear and... for what I was hardworking then? I wanna speedup things.

[Z-0]

Nope, apart from CO campaigns and the like.

Getting the 13,500 ores is faster by spamming a certain set of floors; 1-5 in Tundra/Forest, 31-35 in Forest, and I don't know about Ruins just yet. Rare Drop Boosters increase the amount of drops you can get, and if you get the right floor on the right boost day, you should average at 1 second tier stone each run, and if you're lucky, will get rare floors to give you even more.

[Kosmeg]

Thank you, but could you give some calculations?
How much fragments I can get by spending 1 pass?

Uhh I need ores from Aqua tower. Anyone else maybe know what floors are best to spam?

P.S. Someone, please ban that spammer >_< he creates junk thread every 2 minutes http://www.pso-world.com/forums/member.php?find=lastposter&t=214586

[Kosmeg]

From my calculations yes. They are explained

[Saffran]

Kosmeg > spam posters will be dealt with, don't worry. I just wish they'd make a more obnoxious way to register (like a paypal 1$ donation or something) so that spammers get banned elsewhere as well.

As for your question,
Spending one pass in itself doesn't guarantee any real result - if you go in there alone, the rates are going to be rather bad.
Try to do XQ runs with 4 people. If possible, really good people (who are interested into clearing the objectives, who are rather strong, and at least one person needs WB).
WB will make it easier for shenanigans like "do over 20k damage on the boss in one attack". (I mean, seriously, SEGA...)
Also, you may want to invest into Lucky Rise Units (Shordot gamma / Shortdot C nowadays I suppose) who cost a lot (10 excubes) but will a) protect you rather well and b) Raise the drop rates as far as I know.

Once you find a good set of floors for your aqua stones (a set of floors that are not really hard but still offer good rewards) you should get 60-99 little stones PER SET (getting over 99 stones per run is useless so if you reach that with a "regular" +50% drop rates tickets, use that instead of the +250%) and then if you're lucky an extra bigger stone or more if you get a ??? floor in between.
As far as I can see, set 1-5 is decent in terms of stones but it only has floor 3 that could turn into a ???.
From 31 onwards, all sets have 3 levels that my or may not turn into ???, but those floors are not for the faint of heart.

You can pretty ignore any rare drop but DO check for 11 star units and remember, 10 star weapons or exchange weapons make for 1 excube.
Your priorities are: clear all objectives -> 3 items at the end.
Get bigger stones (if applicable)
Get little stones
Get 11 Stars Weapons (if applicable)
Get 11 stars units (if applicable)
Get other weapons (if applicable)
Get grinders

That's about all I can tell you on the subject.
I intend on waiting for SuperHard then decide what to do with Extreme Quests.

[Kosmeg]

Thank you, but what that means:
"getting over 99 stones per run is useless"?
I will not receive more stones, if i already got 99?

[Saffran]

As far as I know you will only be able to get 99 of any given item of that category (because that's the maximum you can hold in your inventory) so if you drop 25 stones per floor, that's a total of 125, but you can only take 99 with you at the end.
If you have stones on you already, the ones you take with you at the end will be placed in your storage (again, as far as I know - I always empty my stones in storage before I start so I've never actually tested this).

[Kosmeg]

oh, could you also say what that means?
"Your priorities are: clear all objectives -> 3 items at the end."

I know I can get 4 ores and catalyst if I go from 0 to 50 floor, but what that's 3 items in the end?

[supersonix9]

You can trade in catalysts for trade passes at the pyroxene shop.

[Saffran]

Kosmeg > you've never actually played Tower then?
You go on a set of floors, and at the end, from all the items that dropped, you can choose a certain amount to take away with you. The number of things you can get depends on how many objectives you cleared.
If you clear all 5 objectives, you can take 3 items with you. You need to clear at least one objective to take 1 object at the end.

[Sizustar]

Sometime their given as event prizes, and the people that got their 11*
They paid other players to use their Xq Pass.
Or have multiple account at the max level.

[Kosmeg]

Oh you meant that i can get 3 items after every 5 floors from terminal...
I know that and already wasted around 40 passes for... uhh I have only 30 ores now.
Thank you

Interesting, I only get 1 ticket a day even tho I have more than one char that could get a ticket. o.o
Are you sure about that? o.o

[gigawuts]

Yeah, XQ tickets are handed out on the account level.

[Sizustar]

Tsk, then it's multiple account then.

[Misaki Ki]

It's not hard to get a character to 50 during Falz weeks, so it's more than certain that many are using alt accounts as FUN and Pass Slaves.

[Kosmeg]

Hehe this is serious now. XQ passes slave is a good idea :O
Especially if i have my friends account who left the game with character lvl 47 and second PC to login both.

But remember, you need 2 XQ to do 1 stage, 1 for you, one for the ticket provider.

[Chdata]

Bellion obtained an 11star in 16 hours on a 100% boost day while using 250% boosters (I think) and no luck rise (which would've helped). Dunno if 100% triboosts were used but maybe.

S/he bought the runs afaik. I'm not sure of the details really. Runs take about 5 minutes with 4 man teams which is around 192 runs (16 hours).

You should be able to get 80-90 fragments in one run.

192x80 = 15360


I wish they'd give one pass per character instead of per account. I mean, that'd only benefit everyone. Pass obtaining would be easier and sega would make money off of people buying new characters.

[jcart953]

Honestly I would wait till about a week after super hard comes before wasting anymore XQ passes. This will insure you don't go spending stones on a weapon that will be outclassed. After that time spand cirnopedia/jp wiki should be updated with the latest stuff.

Everything else below has already been explained by others:

1) Have lots of money to buy runs
2) Only run on boost days & with 250% boosters
3) Check out pso2 jp wiki for floor drops (there's a list of drops)
4) Run with 2-4 ppl on floor 1-5 or 31-35
5) Have lots of patience

Nothing else to it really.

[Shinamori]

For the new XQ, it appears 46-60 is your best bet.

You can't repeat 46-50 though, so you're better doing something else.

[Shinamori]

The 36-40 is second best. First best in terms of repeating.

[UnLucky]

Depends if the lower floors are faster to complete, have easier conditions, or good mystery rooms.


Oh, and you've got until tomorrow to complete the bingo for three XQ passes. Requires some MBs, so get to work

[riku2replica]

oh, could you also say what that means?

I know I can get 4 ores and catalyst if I go from 0 to 50 floor, but what that's 3 items in the end?

What was meant was u clear 5 stages objectives' at the end of 5th stage. U can only choose 3 selections out of all the drops that was dropped throughout your 5 stages.

Is that table assumes that you run at XQ boost day or a common one?

[Saffran]

That table is the result of someone who ran with a 100% triboost and a 250% drop rate boost active (not on a XQ boost day, there has been none yet for the new tower).
