-high kicks-

YES LUCKY SHIT indeed. This was my first 11* and for it to be the one I wanted most of all. I really squealed a bit when I found it. I've been wanting this thing since it was first announced over a year ago.

But no fear, I think 11* trading will come up in a couple of months.

True. I still have quite some levels to go on FI, so I will have some time to save up some serious meseta for the RNG fest of grinding 11*s. Though, ever since crafting I've been getting a good amount of meseta (before I was always broke, because lazy and phasion ), considering I can only log on around 3 days a week (yeah, that hobby of drawing artworks eats my time on the other 4 days so I only play on the 3 days of the week I don't work). So I now try to fill my shop with stuff in the hope it will sell during the days I don't play. I am also gonna abuse the LQ to get my 3 alt characters both their main and subclass to lv. 50, so enough time to make some serious meseta.


Ha yes! I love this outfit combination. I do have lots of costumes though, but I think this is one of those keepers. When I play force I usually switch to a green Tsukino Yuzuriha. I am still waiting for a female version of the Volcano outfit so I can match it with the Volcano wand (which even out damages Elysion in the melee department).

About that demonic crust.. it was a good idea but...

Then I found this during todays base EQ:


It's Ice element and I can't change the element or element grind it at all without another one..

My Traitor Peak, which I use mainly for leveling my HU class is also Ice element, so I am thinking of changing my Traitor Peak to Dark element, or maybe light? since that light latent wand is not very powerful.. nngggg.. choices, choices..

Oh pawl sorry, I see I was replying in my own profile

Anyway, what I was saying:
Ha, our skill trees are actually very alike. The 4 points you miss in Wand Reactor, I miss in Wind Mastery 2. The rest seems to be the same.

About the fan art:
OH sure, just get me some screenshots of your character. You can either PM them to me or Post them in my art thread in the Fanworks section. It's hard to miss my thread since it the oldest, most viewed, most posts thread in that section

I think there is still one other request from some other guy, but I am pretty reliable with art requests. I always finish them.

HA yeah lol.. I almost wanted to make the same comment to him, but then I realized he wouldn't understand anyway.. I mean.. Zanverse when solo.. durr...

So.. why not go for the generalist path all the way? I am thinking of crafting the three elemental 7* wands to get that little bit more damage out of my techs. The only missing element would be dark, but I was thinking of crafting a dark element Magical Wand, for the wand reactor latent, but I can't seem to find information about how good that latent is. hmm.. else I might go for a dark baridan wand.. but I have this feeling the at some point we will be getting non dragon dark weak enemies (NNGGGG RAPPY UNDERWORLD! NNNGGGGGG) last year I made a fancy artwork about that

Light has always been pretty good when specced for it. Especially it's stun/stagger rate is real good. I have 3 Techer skill trees and haven touched the other two since I used one of my resets. Might as well see how light or dark techer plays like. I usually kept those other techer trees as subs for force, but I guess since I have Braver leveled and I am planning on leveling Fighter, I can use those trees for melee techer and simply use other subs for FO.

Though, I don't really feel like leveling FO or one of my other three alt characters, now that I am having this much fun with Techer. WL fixed so much for Techer. Now all we need is some form of spike/burst damage to make SH solo boss fights more fun.

Anyway. Now I really have to start with tech crafting, but the meseta is so good.. I do wanna plan it out for a bit to get the best upgrades for each tech.

Hmmm seems legit! Though I am currently selling all of my yellow PA fragments, because the prices are the same as grind protects -1 on ship 2, and I can find tons of lv11+ discs by playin AQ's and doing the regular EQ's. Once the prices of disc fragments crashes, I will buy them back a lazy person like me can't let this chance on easy meseta slip

Woooo yes! Iron Will sure was a good idea, indeed with one point in Never Give Up.

Tech recipes? I think I will go for range extension if possible, else maybe the charge time and then cost.

Power doesn't seem worth it, since the percentage only gets added. 45% more power means something like 300 + 45 = 345, which is not a very big increase.

I did it however on Megid, since that recipe gives +6 speed, and damn! it's much faster! it does cost a bit more PP, but the higher speed helps with charging. If there is a range extension for the blast, I will go for that of course.

Is there some place were we can view all unlockable recipes?

Sure is! I hope I can do some videos of solo boss runs. Now that I have iron will, I have a bit more faith in actually solo-ing them.

Yes, I hope it tickles down to fighters stance fist pumps, since the whole stance dancing is my foremost reason for not wanting to play fighter, especially since quite a few strong mobs have their weapon on their back.

Since both TE and HU have hit 65 now, I am starting to level FI, to see how that will work. Just got to lv20 in a few minutes of buying Franka orders..

Ugh, it's going to be such a pain in the ass switching back and forth between Step and Mirage. Just like mentally, you're going to have to get adjusted to using both.

Although I'm looking forward to Tech Customization too. Maybe then I'll use something other than Sazan-Zondeel and the occasional Zan.

lol yes! well, for charging gear that is.

I'd still go for restraint. Exit Bursts seem to be a rarity nowadays. Restraint gives a more fluent play style and my gosh the fist pumping you'd have to do.. WL, HU/FI stance, TB and PPC.. damn..

The only thing other then blocking, they should make WL like 10 minutes. Maybe make it an altering stance with TB, so you'd have to choose between large area damage with your wand, or higher single target damage for bosses.

oh and of course wand finish, like katana combat.. NUCLEAR EXPLOSION!

Been thinking about that, but PP convert only works if you have either Charge Revival from the FO tree, or you use it to spam uncharged techs. I'd go with PP Restraint, which imo has better synergy with wand smacking.

I am still going for EWH though, since I never really have PP problems with TE/HU and it's one of the few damage modifiers that works for wand smacking. Still, damage would be sub par for bosses, even with Wand Lovers.

I might be able to reach 10k+3k per smack on weak spots on bosses.

Also don't forget EWH is a full 20% boos on techs and I think it still matters quite a bit.

While leveling my Hunter, I played HU/TE with an Ice Traitor Peak and only Wind techs for charging. And when my HU reached 65, I switched back to TE/HU, and it feels a lot better, even when I miss like 150HP and some defense.

I also like some variety with techs and I have a 10* wand for each element anyway (though I might wanna craft those 7*'s with the good teching latents).

Each element, with the exception of Ice has a good tech for charging Wand Gear:
Fire: Gifoie
Ice: dunno, maybe Barta if you have some enemies lined up
Lightning: Gizonde
Wind: Zan
Light: Gigrants (also great stun and pretty good damage)
Dark: Megid

So I usually play around those techs.

I have 3 techer trees though and like 11 reset passes already banked.. enough to experiment with

Yes, sure need that disc! I will hunt it first thing when I log on.

and lol, F-CK THAT FORCE! I usually quit MPA's or parties that have a lightning FO in it.

Well, step is always better then mirage cancel, which doesn't work halve the time. Per example Banthers combo can't be efficiently dodged with mirage, so you won't get any opening to attack. Step would definitely help in those situations.

I wish WL gave guard and changed the techs into the PA combo system during WL. But that would be way to awesome for SEGA to even be thinking of

I was thinking of doing the same when the WL buff comes. Sacrificing 10% of damage for 90% more survivability. Nothing is more frustrating then fighting a boss for 10 minutes and then get caught of guard and die in one hit. I wonder if step attack will be worth it?

Still need that lv16 Sazan.. ugh..

Haha.. Yes.. They will come back crying to the easy OP classes and complain the game is to easy.. Humans..

After I get TE to 65, I'll start power leveling FI to see how that works. Maybe bosses will be a lot more doable. I'll try to do a video of some SH solo boss runs with TE/HU after the WL buff is released. Hope I can now make it before dieing of boredom.

Hey there Arksenth. May I ask for your permission to use your jpn phrasebook into our private forum? I find it very useful and I will give credit to you. Thanks in advance.
