Did You Know ...?

[Pyrii]

I decided to make this series of tips and tricks for PSO2 due to finding many people not knowing some of the features and options available to them in PSO2 which could help their gameplay.

I hope you find these useful, and if you have any tips to share, please let me know so I can add them in later updates to this topic. I will continue to add and edit this topic in the future to be more comprehensive and useful.

So without further ado...

...Partner Characters can be Generous

Spoiler!

Ever notice the coloured face on the List of Partner Characters and in the Client Order list?



This shows how friendly a character is towards you. You can improve your relationship with a character by bringing them along in missions with you and/or completing their client orders. Increasing friendliness opens up new client orders and you can also get rewards from partner characters if you keep running missions with them.



After a few missions with a character, they will have an item for you if you talk to them. You can also get rewards from the Title Counter for doing 10 & 100 missions with each partner character.
Most of the time these will be synthesisers, but you can get PA Discs that are rare or impossible to find in the field. Echo will give you Shifta and Anti, while Maru will give you Grants and Gi.Grants.

...Units can be hidden

Spoiler!

Do you feel that equipped units ruin your costume or look and often either pick nicer looking units or keep de-equipping them when not in missions? You don't have to as you can "Stealth" units by Clicking them in the Item list (This won't work in the Unit/Armour window) and selecting the 3rd option to toggle their visibility status. As demonstrated below:

...The same Weapon can be equipped twice

Spoiler!

Yes it's true, you can equip the same weapon in multiple slots to increase the range of quickly available PAs. This is helpful for PAs and Technics as shown below with my Caves Load-out:

(You get 3 extra weapon slots from Kofie when you're doing the Desert Missions)

...You can buy-back items

Spoiler!

We all occasionally make that mistake and there is a buy-back option if you accidentally sell your treasured item to the NPC shop. This feature is universal so you can go to any shop to buy back items you sold at any other shop. Of course only the last few items you sold will be availible to buy back.

...There's a room item NPC store

Spoiler!

There is a store that sells basic and modern themed "My Room" items and rooms. Great if you want to fill up your room without hunting the rarer items in the Player stores or in the FUN Gacha.

Remember that your room starts out in the City Dome with a single Basic Room.

...Long-term buffs are availible

Spoiler!

Every edge helps and the Medical Stations offer drinks you get get for a fee, which will wear off after 30 minutes or when you leave/finish a mission; Whichever happens soonest.



In order these are:

• Attack Up/Shifta Drink
• Defense Up/Deband Drink
• HP Up/Guts Drink
• PP Up/Photon Drink
• Random Drink

They're all fairly self-explanatory except for the random drink will will give up to 2 random effects including damage increases, rare drop increases and Meseta amount increases.

Standard Drinks will give you a 5% increase, "Z" level drinks will give a 10% increase and I've yet to find out how much "EX" level drinks give.

To unlock more drinks from the original Shifta/Deband drinks, you'll have to do Lola's item collection quests.

More to come, for now I need a break and more screenshots :3

Oh wow! Knew everything except for what those drinks did, thanks!

You don't know what that Client Order from Lola is that has the EX in it is do you? because I have no clue how to beat it as of yet and I'm wondering what the reward is.

[BIG OLAF]

People didn't know there was a room decoration shop? Damn.

It seems to be the next level drink, As it states "Shifta" in the title.

Do you know what the objectives are for it or no?

The Shifta EX quest asks you to go find drops from a Hard mode Rockbear and Vol Dragon.

[Finetic]

Huh. I never knew you could hide some of those awkward looking units. Thanks for the informative post.

[MrShoestore]

so how do you go about increasing an npc's friendliness towards you?
