Sorry, this thread is redundant.

So digging through the May issue if EGM [191, p 114], there was mention of the character apartments on the Guardians' Colony [and the ability to decorate and invite other players over online]. Right beneath that caption, EGM mentions the capacity to 'produce and sell unique items to other players in the online portion of PSU'.

Are there any threads dealing with this topic? I could only check the boards as far back as July.

yea i think i remember that. that would be so many levels of cool, i just hope it wouldent be like other mmorpg's where being a smith costs more than u make selling the stuff. but also i think there will be more team oriented weapons.

[PrinceBrightstar]

I'm hoping for auction house sytle thing after all of the trading that appears on the US and JP forums, but that may just be wishful thinking.

I agree, the only way selling your weapons would make sense is if you made more money than it costed to produce it. But being able to customize your photon blade/bullet/ummm tech type, hilt/gun frame/ wand...thingy will/would be freaking sweet, especially if you don't produce weapons at random, as in able to choose Double Saber, Rifle, Bazooka, Staff that kind of stuff.

at the same time, it would be lame if every average joe did it, so it should be like being a mag farmer. it would take work and effort that most nobodies would only wanna do a few times if that, but people would definately be apreciative for the service. that way it would actualy mean something and people would be willing to buy. think if it was very easy to make and raise mags to lvl 200, mag farming would not have its charm b/c no body would be willing to buy or trade 4 it.

Okay, so according to the scans posted by Lord_DS, this forging is done by the partner bots? Hm...

I offer my craftsmanship services:

1. Mag Farmer (now Partner Machinery): If we're able to raise multiple ones, Ive been known to raise em from scratch to help ppl out. If you like, put in orders now. I intend to master PM raising. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

2. Weapon, Armor, etc Forging: I did all 4 tradeskills in EQOA. I did ok, cash wise on that. I spent more on crafting than I made, but, I made quite a few happy with my creations. I was especially good with utility items that ppl needed on a more constant basis. Again, put in orders with me & Ill take care of this too.

Just make sure to give advance notice (when we're actually online) as Im gonna wanna XP too. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

We don't know too much about how Partner Machines (or Partner Robots, as I've seen them called by EGM) will function in PSU. It's been confirmed that they can evolve, create items, and even join you in battle. In case you haven't seen it, we have a small preliminary guide on them (and I mean small):

http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2367

The guide will get updated whenever we get more information, so you might check it periodically, or keep an eye on the "Last Updated Guides" box found on the home page.

Good to know. Thanks, all.

Well, once we actually get to play, Id be willing to work on a guide as I find things out. I used to be pretty good at mag raising, tho I favored Sato. They look cool & offer the most to the player. I had one of every color (I have alot of PSO chars http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif ). So, providing raising PMs will be similar, I offer to do the same for others. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

That's assuming you can have multiple Partner Machines and also be able to trade them back and forth with other players. For all we know, it may be one PM per character http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[KhaosKidd]

i wonder whats the PM evolve choices or if we could customize them ourselves :which would be cool! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif:

[OdinTyler]

This may be true, Tom. However, remember what was said about mags:

Mags are given to hunters as partners. Its tradition.

For story purposes, each person gets 'one'. However, for gameplay purposes, its not entirely possible to get more than one. Besides, if raising is anything like mags, we're gonna screw up the 1st one we raise. Thats a given. LOL I just offer the possibility that if they can be raised & traded, Id be willing to work on it. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
