Attempting to element/affix 13*Katana need help!

[Aurion]

Hey all, I'm trying to learn the most financially efficient way of getting my HFB to max attack stat or as close as possible
Ok, so I've planned out what types of abilities I want:

Power V
Ability III
Mutation 1
Mark Angar
Flict Arma
Alter Arma
Apprentice Soul/Quartz Soul
(Slot#8???)

What I would like to know is if this particular build is possible or what are other peoples suggestions to achieve max attack on a weapon with abilities? Can I have both Arma abilities at once? Can I have more than one Soul? Are these abilities here the best way to reach max attack? What should I put in slot 8?

Most importantly, how do I actually get all these abilities on there by spending the least money? I'm not really concerned with how many Excubes I use so long as all the calculations are safe, but mostly meseta output should be low/reasonable even though this might take many millions.

On a less important note, do I really have to get 3x more HFB's to synthesize the element to 60?
I mean ok but thats a huge grind, any way to make it less painful?

[Shinamori]

Mark isn't transferable. And only 1 Arma can be added

[Weiss9029]

Power V
Ability III
Mutation 1
Mark Angar
Flict Arma
Alter Arma
Apprentice Soul/Quartz Soul
(Slot#8???)

hahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

[Qualia]

Slot 8 should be returner v

[Bellion]

Apprentice Soul
Power 5
Ability 3
Modulator
Flict Arma
Mutation 2
Fever
Noble Power

I hope you've got like 200m+ that you're willing to spend on that one affix, though.
Arma will overwrite each other so pick one only, as with the soul. Also, you will have to get 3 more HFB to 60 element unless you're willing to buy element attribute booster +5 and have a bunch of other 13* katana to use as fodder. Don't bother with 8s stuff if all you care about is maxing your attack power but you don't have the funds to do the above.

Something that may seem more reasonable would be;
Apprentice Soul, Power 5, Ability 3, Modulator, Flict Arma, Noble Power for around 60m total.
You should probably mention the amount that you're actually willing to spend.

[Azure Falcon]

- 8 slot
- Apprentice Soul
- Flict Arma

Sure, you got like a billion meseta and 10k+ Excubes in the bank right? Also Mutation I but no Modulator, lol.

On a serious note, tone down your wishlist massively. Like, 4-5 slots (unless you've got a lot of meseta spare, then 6) consisting of some combination of a Soul, stat VI, Spirita IV, Modulator/Vinculum, Flict, Noble.

[AutumnChronicle]

I hate to disappoint you but that is a pretty unrealistic wishlist. Most people only affix up to 4-5s, and for good affixes that can cost a fair bit of money for the average player.

Here're some useful links:

Affix Simulator (http://srpgp.supersanctuary.net/dudu/)

[steverowland]

Or you can go with like 1mil 4 slot (and most of that 1mil will be the dudu cost xD)

Quartz soul
Mutation 2
Power 3-4
Alter Arma

with the new EQ this is dirt cheap.

But whatever makes you happier, but I would probably wait for the battleship yamato update to see what drops there before investing 50+ mil into affix on a weapon.

ps: this is coming from someone who spends 60mil on a single lobby action - those are the long term investment :P weapons you will always swap for better ones as they release~

pss: the new version of affix simulator including mutation2 is http://pso2affix.seilent.net/ - someone above linked the old version

[Aurion]

Apprentice Soul
Power 5
Ability 3
Modulator
Flict Arma
Noble Power


Ok so because I have no idea how to affix, I kind of need to be walked through the steps of this.

On my HFB I have
Power 3
Ability 3
Mutation 1

What is my first step? Should I get all the abilities on other fodder gear? I have no clue on the best way to affix.

Can I have more than one Soul?
Are these abilities here the best way to reach max attack? What should I put in slot 8?

Not possible, cause Mark.
No you can't have both alter and flict arma.
No you can't have more than one soul.
Yes, except Mark.
As Bellion said.
Depends on all of your HFB elements and the number.
Depends on your cash, your excube, and your ability to lessen the materials needed. Try this simulator (http://pso2affix.seilent.net/).

enjoy the world of affixing :)

There are 2 ways to go about this; cheap and risky or expensive and safe for the final affix.
On the HFB, what you want to do is get a bunch of fodder affixes on it such as Power 1, Technic 1, etc. This is done to have higher chances on upslotting more affixes. You'll have to upslot regardless if you don't want to see your meseta burn, just that the difference will be on the final affix. It's a 60% chance on a boost week that is coming up soon if you want to upslot that final affix. I should also note that because boost week is coming soon, that the prices will be much higher and you could easily spend 100m if you're desperate.

The first panel is what should be on your weapon and second fodder to upslot to Apprentice Soul, Power 5, x, x, x. x= random junk with 100% affix chance when not upslotting nor factoring other boosts from other affixes. Technic 1 is an example of such junk.
2nd panel would be third fodder to upslot into Apprentice Soul, Power 5, Mind, Body, and React 3.
3rd panel is fodders 4-6 to upslot into Flict Arma, Modulator, x, x, x.
4th panel is what you should have for that final affix.

The 5th panel is the 1st and 2nd fodder if you want that final affix to be safe. If you want the final affix to be 100%, all you need to be is add an extra slot for panels 1-4 for each fodder. I can break it down a bit more if necessary.

This will still be a headache for anyone still new to affixing regardless of how I break it down, though.

Prep the base first, then make fodders, then make the 'final' affix



Prepping the base

Since you already have power 3 on that, put either a Quartz soul or Vol soul on that. Also, put flict arma on the base to save space for the next affix. The setup would look like such
[SPOILER-BOX]http://puu.sh/nDmE4/24613355f3.png[/SPOILER-BOX]
Vol soul + receptor weapons are fairly common so they're cheap and go for less than 100k. Flict arma is "mid tier" costly at 200k for 3s


Making fodders
Self explanatory, fodders to be made will be mod + flict arma. Make 2 of these
[SPOILER-BOX]http://puu.sh/nDn36/07073c142c.png[/SPOILER-BOX]


Final affix
That vol/quartz soul from earlier affix will be replaced by a bayari soul. 30% affix success ontop of 10% passive boost next week makes upslotting go for 100/96/96/96 success and 40% makes the affix have no chance of failure. Overall cost would be around 3m + 60-140 excubes (140 if you you went for the safe route of 40% on final affix) spent for 115atk/6pp.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://puu.sh/nDnNk/0547b4fbca.png[/SPOILER-BOX]


BONUS** Going 5s (if ur rich af/really wanna spend up all meseta on something that isn't Austere)
Lots of fodder prep + Noble Power being expensive af. Costs roughly 20m or so for 150atk/9pp on a weapon. Bulk of expenses would be on 4s mod/flict fodder + app soul/powIV. Only go this route if you're satisfied with 150atk and got noble power on hand

Apprentice Soul/Quartz Soul
(Slot#8???)

good luck to success all abillities what you wanna put i think highest support item is 40% success rate and what we all know dudu/monica is asshole/bitch

[Konquer]

pretty sure 8s is going to cost you hundreds of millions, which is not what you want :v

if you really want to stack as much s-atk as cheap as possible then you may consider

apprentice soul
power 4
ability 3
mutation 2
vinculum

maybe add in alter arma or fever for 6s. you will end up with 125-145 s-atk. however, you need to note that your pp will suffer.

Gaijins dont do pure atk special needs, please post your 15 atk 200hp units

[the_importer_]

Sorry to be the bearer news, but you probably won't achieve an 8 slot weapon with any decent affixes, let alone the ones who want which are not all possible period (others have already stated why). Take it from a guy who added 6 decent affixes to his Austere, it gets expensive very fast.

[Keilyn]

I tend to affix 5s - 6s when I can.

If you wish for S-ATK, set up your units + weapons for it. Its easy to get at least +100 S-ATK on three slots (Apprentice Soul, Modulator, Power III) though some would try for power IV or power V...and those who can break into 4s can add a Noble Power.... so on 4s you end with +130 S-ATK

I make a mention to this because you can do pretty well for yourself on 3s or 4s done right....5 - 6s is considered a major affix...even if its common.
