How is the badge grind going?

[MooingRed]

I've gotten about 315 gold badges and 200 silvers from doing the LQ. I've only bought about 5 donuts and I'm wondering if I should dump all my golds into TD stones or wait for something else to appear in shop.

How is everyone else doing so far?

[Hysteria1987]

Slower than I'd like, but still moving so I can't complain.

Dumping them all into Caligulas for now, as I regularly miss PDs. Sitting at about 150 of the 400 I need. When (if) the Cali's get done, it'll be ult stones all the way. I need about 50 Yurlungurs and 150 Galerus.

[SilkaN]

0. Fuck the system

[TaigaUC]

I think I got 10 badges from the first Valentine's Day.
Felt sick thanks to the entire map being so tightly enclosed and dark to the point where I can barely see.
Even worse then last year. Not going there anymore. Who wants to be stuck in a dark tiny volcanic tunnel for Valentine's? Screw that.

Been busy and haven't tried the LQ yet.

[Flaoc]

4 camos and 300ish later so far.. the rest going towards toranas and maybe pleides so i can make orbit launcher (60 ele obvs)

[milranduil]

I need to grind for some calis, but I've been so preoccupied with XQ stones/dailies/tacos/weekly TA, I only have ~330 gold :wacko:.

[Z-0]

I got bored of doing LQ so I just stopped and will continue using my Carryceus instead. :wacko:

[ZER0 DX]

Got Red Saber and Dual Bird, been using the LQ to get the class Excube client orders done since the exp is pretty decent. Almost done with Summoner thankfully. By the time I get all those client orders done for every class I'll have enough badges to get all the camos and then I'll start getting Toranas to make an Austere unit set.

[Naoya Kiriyama]

Think I did few runs of LQ and EQ and done. Got boring really fast for me. Would be surprised if I have more than 20 badges

[Xaelouse]

Barely played over the weekend. Need 2k more badges (currently at 1.2k).
Debating whether to to just relax until the next LQ to do it or make another 1k before then

[jooozek]

not grinding any more till they update the shop which they likely will, then i can decide if i can run in circles for more :wacko:

[Zorak000]

I mean we voted on favorite weapons in each category a while back, and they said they were going to make all-class 13*s of the winners, so if they dont plan on making those obtainable with 2016 badges then idk what they are planning

Good to know I'm not the only one...

I do like the Limited Quest though, I'd rather do it during the EQ timeslots tbh

[Dark Priest]

Why did they start putting expiration dates on the event items, i think i still have ones from a while back with none on them.

also i think i have farmed 1000 gold badges at this point.. but i'v been using most of them on PD stones. i was using them on yulg crystals at 1st but then i kind of realized those were a mistake..

[sparab]

Who wants to be stuck in a dark tiny volcanic tunnel for Valentine's? Screw that.

30-40 badges, 30+ cubes, random phantas stones, and no ghost ship is acceptable for me

[Korima]

The Limited Quest is poorly designed, I wonder who is guilty one for these missions.

It will be better that you don't know where area is until the teleporter countdown is over. Like that at least you have more variety of maps.

And I wanted the Spread Needle Camo but then I saw this and I remember that Spread Needle was useful but totally uncool with those sound effects.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

I'm most trying to Get my Su Cubes (bored) think I need about 7 more....more than likely i wont use the badges for anything until i get BR 75. which will probably be for PD.

[Azure Falcon]

Sitting on about 600 golds and a few more silvers. I only really want 2 camos so unless they update the store with something worthwhile then I'm almost done. Probably will farm a bit longer on the super slim chance I get a 2nd Slave DB to max element, but I don't care about any of the stones so I'm not grinding badges for them.

I can't see they'll keep the store going for the rest of the year without big updates to it, so I've got my fingers crossed for the XQ stones needed for Austere being added, or Ares and Tokyo stones.

[Zeroem]

Sitting around 200+ Gold and 100+ Silver. When my current class reach 60 (too lazy to switch back to Bo, even though I still need 2 of its cubes for the SP quest ._.), I would probably get more Gold at consistent rate.

My aim are Red Saber and Flowen's Sword. Maybe DB later if I suddenly in the mood to farm things.
Other than that, prolly the stones for Orbit.

The next LQ should be even more popular than our current LQ though, since there's talk that Zeta and GGG would be there.

[Iduno]

Is DB the weapon from the enemies in the level before Dark Falz in PSO? (Think they were delsabans?)

Might step up my grinding if it is, kind of want Flowen's Sword and Red Saber too but I'd probably end up not using red saber much because of the weapons it works on.

Think I got like 30 badges atm so got a long way to go, might have to try soloing it as only super hard gets any traffic and the only way I can contribute there is to go full support with Talis with buffs/heals/fields atm and I'm not sure if that's even useful so I been staying out of it except for when my team invites me.

[Raujinn]

Think I'm nearing 400. Been busy with RL stuff and I doubt I could tolerate grinding that quest out for the 5000+ medals I'd need to do anything useful with anyway.

[akitalevia]

Who thought that putting a Diablo in that horribly cramped map in the Valentines EQ was a good idea. The body parts keeps phasing throught the walls making them unreachable

[Tunga]

Did 4 or so runs of LQ, 1 valentines EQ and stopped before i died of boredom. Currently finishing TW3 on the highest difficulty on NG+ since it's a lot more fun.

[wefwq]

I got plenty of them, though i only use most of it for donuts, and few stones that i probably don't use.

LQ are okay-ish since it drop few recyclable weapons for additional EXP boosters.
EQ was utter disappointment though, those map, e-trials, and i just fuckin hate diabo in general.

[Nyansan]

I only gather them in the Valentines EQ, which I don't even frequently do (I absolutely hate the new LQ map; not sure whether it's because of how boring it looks or because the gal LQ was way much better). Now I'm questioning whether that parfait is even worth it given at how badly designed the maps where the badges are gotten from are.

[AlexCraig]

At ~117 at the moment. Real life getting in the way of things here and there. As well as other games on occasion.

[Zysets]

I've been mostly helping out two friends who just started playing and been doing real life stuff recently so I haven't been doing the LQ too often, but I've hit 300 so I won't complain.

I agree, the map is pretty boring, sure it's just the Facility area, but it feels less dynamic than the actual area in other quests.

[cheapgunner]

Got about 100ish gold and almost 200 silver. Im doing it for grinding my Summoner to lv 70. About 2 1/2 lvls away fromm XH.

Would be nice if they added different drops like a slight chance for silver/gold keys for bonus quests, or even casino/XQ passes to the drop list. It's pretty much like most LQ quests and loses its appeal (at least for me) after a while.

[final_attack]

Pretty ...... nice, I think.
Only a little bit until I can get sword camo (already got Tmg) ......
At least, pretty nice if I just want to smash things up with mpa after tiring errands :D

Yeah after a few times it just feels like I'm running in a circle and hitting things when they spawn. I mean that's exactly what I'm doing, but it could be a bit more exciting or worth while.

No, the DB is the DB's Saber (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=498) from PSO.

The enemies you're thinking about are Delsabers, and if you get one to drop its right arm you can turn it into the Delsaber's Buster (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=31) (which has initials D.B., but shouldn't be confused with DB's Saber). The left arm could be turned into a Shield of Delsaber (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=135).

Since it's a sword and shield set, it would have made way more sense to have Delsaber gear as katana camo! DB's should have been a gunslash or a double like the Red Saber is.

On topic: Grinded hard and got my Red Saber the first day. Have been slacking off ever since.

[Chris_Chocobo]

Aiming for Flowen's Sword and Red Saber. Only 127 gold badges but i get tired easy of doing the same LQ over and over. I'll take it with calm

[vbetts]

Stat bonus if you equip both the shield and saber. :D

Going pretty good for me, don't have a count of how many I have but I've been spamming the LQ constantly. Been good for EXP, Bingo, and badges.

[untrustful]

I think sega done goofed by inventing a gunslash rather than a saber/handgun combo.

[Lostbob117]

I've been leveling Su with it. Got it to 68 atm.

Got 4 of those parfaits so far. Need 2 more.

[Shinamori]

I got just north of above 400. Haven't had much time to farm. What with a 5 day work week, being sick, and an annoying massive on/off toothache causing me to lose sleep..

[Korima]

Someone knows about more leaked camos in the future? because I want a camo for my rifle but mostly all suck.

[untrustful]

wait for sega to make lk38 assuming it's introduced in the future.

[Anduril]

These are the rifle-usable camos from Ep.4's initial small icons; the one's outlined in red are the only ones not released yet (forgive the rough editing), and even then there is no guarantee that they will be considering there are countless weapons and camos that have had small icons for ages that haven't seen the light of day.
[spoiler-box]http://i.imgur.com/5VyKnkt.png[/spoiler-box]

[Cyber Meteor]

Lk38 is indeed here, lots of new weapon icons were datamined with EP4 update, but it'll be a launcher and not a camo. It's just under Red scorpio icon

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t650/CyberMeteor/Rare%20Findings/LK38_zpsneqawozr.jpg~original[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Unnamed Player]

The weapon camos should have been silver badge exchange items, dafuq Sega?

Also, Dual Bird not being http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/pso/images/8/85/Twin_machine_guns_PSO2_icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20131103231323http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/pso/images/1/1c/Gunslash_PSO2_icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20131103231321http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/pso/images/b/b4/Assault_rifle_PSO2_icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20131103231320 and Lambda Excalibur not being http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/icons/small/weapons_17.pnghttp://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/pso/images/9/94/Twin_daggers_PSO2_icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20131103231323http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/pso/images/a/af/Katana_PSO2_icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20131103231321 is a huge missed opportunity.

[Neith]

Only have about 280 gold badges; I find the LQ pretty boring though and none of the camos appeal to me much (except maybe Flowen's Sword). Hopefully the next LQ is a bit better.

[Cyber Meteor]

Also, Dual Bird not being http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/pso/images/1/1c/Gunslash_PSO2_icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20131103231321http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/pso/images/b/b4/Assault_rifle_PSO2_icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20131103231320

Fixed, Dual Birds are TMGs camos so putting tmg icon was wrong :-P

[JCry]

Did anyone notice you can trade AQ stones for 2016 badges? the rate isn't great but 100 stones for a badge if you're desperate I guess.

[Shinamori]

I used about 2000+ loser stones for that.

[Punisher106]

Trying so hard to keep myself together as I tirelessly run the LQ and the EQ. At least the EQ makes me think of something...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8o8_1aSgug

Start the game in the middle of PD drilling into Naberius. ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!

[Hysteria1987]

Did anyone notice you can trade AQ stones for 2016 badges? the rate isn't great but 100 stones for a badge if you're desperate I guess.Wait wat. I did not notice this- is this in the AQ stone shop or have I just had my eyes closed the whole time I've been dealing with Xie? I've got no use for my AQ stones and I have way too many of em so I may as well trade them in.

(inb4 the next 'best' 13* uses AQ stones)

[domadoma80]

Which Mode are u guys grinding for gold badages?

[Anduril]

Wait wat. I did not notice this- is this in the AQ stone shop or have I just had my eyes closed the whole time I've been dealing with Xie? I've got no use for my AQ stones and I have way too many of em so I may as well trade them in.

(inb4 the next 'best' 13* uses AQ stones)
I forget which of the Stone twins it is, but it is under Other Exchanges from what I remember.

[SHiFT-Di3S3L]

after all this time...47 TAT

[wahahaha]

Who cares about gold bulges.
Where is my torim 13*

[untrustful]

Who cares about gold bulges.
Where is my torim 13*

I am in same boat.

[JCry]

Who cares about gold bulges.
Where is my torim 13*

u got sum nerve coming into this gold bagels thread with your bird hunting bull pal.

[Rakurai]

I really don't get why the 13* Torim drop rate from Angel is so miserable compared to that of the Slave weapons.

[cheapgunner]

CUz Summoner can't have its shiny toys as esily as other mains. That's why. ;_;

[Gwyndolin]

So I seem to get more or less 10 badges per run when I use a 250, which means every 120 badges I grind it's as if I got my own personal cache of Caligulas as if Profound Darkness had actually shown up! Going to grind out about 1100 badges over the next few weeks between LQ and Valentine EQ runs to get another Austere rod to make a 60 ele fire rod.
