Me, I've done 2 things:

1- Been stuck pilling on 4~8 slot junk items for affixing and sold them all within an hour.

2- Affixed this baby

Tried 3 times to go for an 8 slot, but Dudu didn't budge and considering that I needed to get back to 7 slot 4 more times, that was enough precious Excubes down the toilet, so I stayed at 7 (doubt Latan Fever would have done much of a difference anyway).


EDIT: GOD I HATE THIS NEW YEAR MUSIC THAT THEY PUT EVERY YEAR!!!

Finally bother affixing that Weila Bode that I gotten during first Nabarius campaign... Still wished I got 3 Nemesis but quit after only gotten two. Now wondering should do with my leg units... Keep Astral, switch to Izane, Qliphad or Zeinesis...

Stayed at 7s too. 8s just too hard especially for a Fornis and Seikaiser fodders.

Vamos a Carnaval! is much worse imho. It's not bad itself but just too loud and annoying so when I hear it nonstop at the lobby it made my brain to boil and ears to bleed.

True... I guess... Well more like I already made Ether Factor fodder for 6 slots units-.- Made 2 Ether Soul, Factor Catalyst 6 slots and some Arks Fever, Catalyst.

I wish I can sell you may 8 slots Phrase Weakness fodder. I gotten Fornis Rifle and TMG from x-mas as 8 slots with 0 intention of using them.

I have 200/200, 298/300 and 142/150 items in stock so running PD is not going to be all that effective.
That being said, I've just realized I can resynthe Apprentice/pow3/shoot3/tech3/spirita3 with 10% items so I should be able to free some space after all.

I managed to get my R25-S Shoot VI fodder up to 7s on the first try so im on my way to having 170 atk hp draining crit dmg boosted 14* tmgs. Pretty excited,decent amount of HP and PP on the affix too ;w;

R-ATK (+170)
HP (+55)
PP (+12)
Crit Dmg 4%
HP Drain

Id post a screencap but i need to grind the fodders i have to 35 first aha (And i dunno how to put pics on this site still oTL)

Dec 31, 2017, 07:57 PM
Finished Atra (like most people do, I guess). Except I don't have Ray weapon at max grind 35, so I gave up Astral Soul.
Using SAF for Alter and Shoot6. Bought Soul for 500k and 900k some days before boost day.
Gotta love HP based affix since it's usually much cheaper than PP :wacko:

The SSA : +2% Damage, +4% crit damage, LifeSteal
https://i.imgur.com/a63eNYU.png

Maybe making 8s fodder weapon for SAF (1 each) just in case (done with Zeinesis). Gonna try 1 ray weapon, 1 Walkure, 1 Bardiche should my Cube is enough.

Not sure how it'll go next tho ..... since my 1st attempt making 8s and 8s SAF (Walkure and Atra), everything is done with 1 try, even when upslotting 7s -> 8s ._.

Ya, but you went with 4 special abilities that upslot at 100% regardless, I would have risked a few tries because this changes your odds. Going from 7 to 8 slot with regular junk affixes during boost week with 40% up gives you less than 17% chances of success, but the rules change with the introduction of special abilities. Upslotting from 7 to 8 with 4 special abilities would be like upslotting from 3 to 4 at 80% for each non-special abilities, meaning that your total chances of success would have been about 41%.

It's the fodders that doesn't support SSA that is the main problem when going for 8s.

You buy fodders with 8 slots right off the bat, not that expensive compared to the ones with 7. I was planning for an 8 slot weapon, so all of my fodders had 8 slots. Here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pbwa9JU2WMmqYSQLOILfDMrt5Hn_QYG5kSs-2Aqv8Nw/edit#gid=0

The missing one is Latan Fever which came with one of my Alter Magia fodder. Like I stated before, I went with 7 because Dudu jus didn't want to affix my weapon to 8, so I gave up before running out of cubes.

Redid my Atra Sword, 7000 cubes for the ray and yamato weapons to hit 8 slots. Disaster. Only had one factor fail at least.
(2% dmg, 10%pp reduce, 4% crit dmg, 30 hp on hit, astral, ether, pow6, elepow)

And made an all atk weila and izane, 0 failures from start to finish, makes up for the sword.

The point you're trying to make earlier only applies to SSA supported weapons and not for something like fornis or seikeiser which is why it's a lot easier to upslot val/atra weapons to 8s but doesn't change anything for the latter ones which I mentioned on my 1st post. You then replied to me to buy 8s right off the bat but that doesn't help on the difficulty of upslotting those Fornis and Seikeiser or even Rays for their own SAF. My point? You want Power VI or Phrase Weak then you only have 16.77% chance of succeeding(w/ affix40% and dudunerf10%). Not gonna continue this anymore as this'll only derail your topic. Sorry about that.

That was for an end-of-Episode Limited Quest that was stacked with crazy levels of event Triboost due to a Campaign. Nothing like that right now, unfortunately, and no word on another one anytime soon.

I don't care about his other weapons, I was talking about his Val Retora (see his picture, 7 affix with 4 SSA). I only used that quote of his because it's the only thing from him vaguely replying to me of the topic at hand. Why is this so hard to understand?

Nah man, you definitely missed the point. Just man up and accept that you failed to notice that he specifically mentioned the difficulty of upslotting fornis and seikaiser fodders, which you know for a fact can't use ssaf to ease the high upslot difficulties.

Your first highlighted portion is that he stayed at 7s as a statement, with the second being "that which I dont care about" despite blatantly being the reason WHY he chose to stay at 7s over going to 8s (because upslotting the FODDER is more far more difficult, making no mention of ease or difficulty of the target weapon itself). It's entirely possible he wanted to do 8s, got it to 8s, couldn't get fodder up because it's a bitch to do, then dropped it down a slot deliberately in order to do 7s. Also it's CLEARLY Atra, not Astra, those are 13* weapons that can't use SSAF either.

As far as what I've done this week goes, I've affixed a few units (succeeded some, failed others), and did my second zenesis sword for an alternate ship's character, as Atra isn't even worth my time because of the single acquisition limit.[SPOILER-BOX]https://i.imgur.com/JlPvTlv.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Was not planning on replying anymore but your img made it even more apparent that you misunderstood Zulastar's post. Did you even see the word "fodders" in his post? Did you even check Zulastar's SS and see Power VI and Phrase Weak? Where do you think those come from? Seriously no one's trolling you here.

On topic this are the ones I did on the 1st day of the year. Unfortunately no screenies for me.

Nemesis TD: Astral Soul, Power VI, Modulator, Sentence Triple, Ether Factor, Elder Reverie, Elegant Power

Shine Red & Izane arm/leg: Apprentice Soul, Modulator, Ether Factor, Doom Break, Elegant Stamina

Not gonna ride the Val/Atra bandwagon for now and will just wait for it go down in price specially the GS and also the new 13star this Jan10. Also Elegant Power is too expensive right now and will wait for the next dudu nerf instead hoping Sega doesn't put it again in gold scratch revival again.

deadlist arm - 165 satk, 35hp, 18pp
qliph leg - 165 satk, 35hp, 18pp
weila board - 165 tatk, 35hp, 18pp
nemesis sword - 180satk, phrase weak
atra katana - 120satk, phrase weak, s1 (2% dmg), s2 (10% pp reduc), s3 (4% crit dmg), s4 (katana gear)

might "cheap" affix a few other nemesis/slave before boost ends.

On one hand, Dudu literally costed my Fi/Hu an arm and a leg to properly 6s an arm and a leg unit.

On the other hand Monica made this very decent affix for my Hr for under 5m a piece for all of rear/arm/leg, which its probably just a small fraction of what anyone else spent on their all attack units.

Made 2 fodder, just in case .... all at 8s (junk affixes).
Damn, those upslotting ;w;

- 8s RayRod for AstralSoul (waiting for 2018 badge to raise it's cap to 35, currently 32)
- 8s Walkure for Shoot6 (failed like 3 times 7s -> 8s before succeed, luckily only drop to 7s)

Wasted .... about 1.5 stack of cubes, I think.
Considering I only had about 3 or 3.5 stack before boost day, wasted like 400 for making Atra and Walkure upslot before.
Only 1.5 stack of cubes left ;w;

Thinking of making fodder for new units, but I still had 2 set of fodder from previous boost day (160 R-Atk + 30 HP), so, I think I'll hold it for now (kinda low on cubes is also part of the reason).

I think I'm done dealing with Dudu / Monica for boost day now.

I'm not as rich as some folks here, but I'm still quite happy with this. Especially considering I pieced it together almost entirely out of materials I already had. I've complained about my crappy luck with Val drops (still haven't gotten one), but the mass quantities of 7 and 8 slot weapons he's dropped made it possible for me to do this with very little cash outlay other than the four Val weapons I needed to make this (three daggers and one double saber for the S3)... and the massive pile of materials for Zieg, of course!

I will, naturally, improve on this when I have more cash to do so. But it's a huge upgrade from what I had.

Final affix odds (https://ibb.co/mr3orb)

I'll probably affix another set too, something in the way of Ares, ether, mod, doom, elegant stamina. A weaker hybrid set designed for surviving fail mechanic quests.

Saffran
Jan 5, 2018, 08:19 AM
Asellus, how do you get these odds? I thought that expanding from 5 to 6 slots halved all odds?

Arada
Jan 5, 2018, 11:03 AM
If you use the same unit only, you get a x1.15 modifier (after upslot penalty).
Ex: Ether Factor is 60%. Upslot penalty is 0.55. 60% x 0.55 = 33%. 33% X 1.15 = 37%. +10% boost week makes it 47%.

Because I never affix more than a Apprentice, Mod, Flict, Spirita III, and am bad at affixing and learning the techniques behind it. What's done is done.
Also, I completely forgot about Phrase Weak...

Same as me. I'm bad at it too, especially in Units affixes. Units posted on a page 4 of this thread was created just after solo PD was added and it's my best by now even when I have several full Izane and Evleda sets I just can't push myself to affix them. Maybe when I got full Weila I'll have some courage.

And don't be upset. I've lost about 150 mil on Atra too 'cause some tards gave us a lie about Val's drop rates I've bought first swords I saw. Then bought some wrong fodder for 30 mil by mistake 'cause there were no true info about S-abilities...

Yeah, it was more of the anxiousness to get it done, so after the first couple of failures, I just wanted to keep smashing my head against the wall, so to speak, until I got something half decent. The worst thing is that I now remember that I had actually taken the time to create 7-slot SAF fodders during the July boost week when I made my Antithesis Trainer Jet Boots with Phrase Weak, Magi the Soul, Modulator, Sentence Technique, Flict Magia, Tech III, and Noble Technique so that it would be 100%. I'm just done... well, now that I remember what I did, I might try again after my TACOs.

The affixing system is completely fucked, has a ton of arbitrary rules and different affixes that affect each other in an arbitrary way and worst of all it's all left completely unexplained in the UI of the game. Sega just keeps adding stuff to it each year but never leaves any real place to find concise explanations on it in the game itself and as such it's pretty much up to us to go read a hefty japanese wiki article on it or something. That why I still affix by ep2 standards. Too much of a pain in the ass to research all this bullshit especially for such a minimal gain.

It gets worse when you know what you want but RNG stops you. It once took me 2000 excubes just t upslot from 5>6. I don't know why Sega can't make a way for any affix you want has a 100% chance through in game methods. You shouldn't have to wait an entire half a year for a 10% boost. There needs to be ways to 100% any slots you want year round. Especially when affixing is so expensive.

2000xcoobs ...to go 5>6... I did this countless time without waiting boost week. Was before 40% affix booster item was implemented right?

I do agree affix system is pretty obscure at first glance but

Also affixing is way easier than it used to be since we have access to SAF. Aside Ether Factor and Astral Soul (and with upcoming Xie exchange for Ray it's not even true anymore...for weapons:D) which are mesetas sink and can give some headaches to set up fodders, I'm tempted to say LOL to what was wrote above.

RNG is RNG is RNG is RNG. Also there are SAF for units? Please, laugh all you want it won't change the fact that affixing is the most unfriendly game mechanic ever created. The fact that you have to link something that exists outside of the game for reference says it all.

I'm not even done with Affixing, but I just want to be done with Affixing already.

If my Unit affix doesn't get done by this Boost Week, I'm honestly just going to hoard resources until the next Boost Week.

Agree with that, I hate it too.

Seems you're never play mmo with a chance to break your weapon on upgrade...


If my Unit affix doesn't get done by this Boost Week, I'm honestly just going to hoard resources until the next Boost Week.
1 Get some good fodders on this boost weak.
2 Wait till SEGA release Weila arms and legs.
3 Get full Weila set.
4 Wait for another boost week and affix it.

That's my plan by now.

While the Dragon stubbornly refuses to do right by me, the Christmas EQ has been a bit more generous. Actually, it's really kinda strange - the Christmas EQ drops 13*'s for me like rain - two Fornis Halube's (not from collection file), a Monarchdis, a second Gale Vishner (which will be my next project because it looks too cool not to use), a Fornis dual blades (not from collection file), a Fornis wired lance (not from collection file), a Bullet Kunai, and two or three others I can't remember... and then I got three different 12* units from one run (the one below, an Izane leg (to go with the Izane rear I got in an earlier run, on my Gunner), and a Zeineissis leg which will probably be going to my Hero (I'd use it on my Fighter, but she is going to be using the 12* whitill wing arm and leg from titles as soon as I get them affixed). And yet I've still not gotten a single 13* weapon or 12* unit from the Dragon in 14 runs.

I had to sell some costumes to finance this, but it's worth it. When I get my 1000-title rear unit, I will probably pass this down to my Hunter alt (I know this is actually better, but that one is one of the very few units I will actually display!) That'll be a little while yet, only at 902 titles now.

41470

Also got this drop. It's a gunslash, so I didn't go too terribly far with it, but I was able to make it using fodders I already had lying around which was nice.

After selling everything I had sitting in my storage worth any value and $50 in scratches later for an elegant power I finally have this. It's the biggest and most expensive affix I've ever done on this scale. Hopefully this DB stays viable for the foreseeable future cause this definitely wont be happening again any time soon.

You should have waited for the next patch update with new abilities

Hashed together something quick just so I have suitable Dual Blades for whatever content requires it (mostly Anga and Dragon... Everything else is "You're a Boots main, use the Atra Jet Boots you made, dummy"). Could've gone to 190, but I didn't want to be bothered to try maxing another 13* today, so I just settled with Power IV.
