Matter Board, Whats the point?

[Not Crazed]

I havent done much of the matter board, but it doesnt seem to do anything, or give rewards or anything, its just talking to people and finding stuff.

What do you guys think?

double saber from quartz for example

The main purpose of the Matterboards is to unlock story chapters, as the player completes golden orbs from the matterboards, either new chapters are unlocked, or a new path is unlocked to an already unlocked chapter (in the quest counter, the icon of the story quest will be half orange and half gray if you have a new path unlocked that you haven't done yet).

[Dammy]

yes, city mission for example

I've been selling the matter board rewards for 50k+ a pop after Matter Board 4 or so. For those who like the story of role-playing games it's also pretty important to complete, else you'll never find out what's going on otherwise.

Matterboard rewards tend to have abilities that would cost you an arm and a leg if you tried to affix it yourself. Example, a weapon in MB6 has arm III, power III, and poison III.

It's mainly for the story. So if you don't want the weapons you get from doing it or care about the story don't do it.

You get to fight a masked man, that's a good enough reason

There's also the new NPCs you can unlock to use with them.

The stuff I'm getting in the MB right now is kind of meh but I have a maxed class and I'm only on board 4 at the moment. Could use some better gear so I guess I'll keep at it. Story is nice to see too but would be better if I actually understood it. The patcher folks noted that it'll probably never be translated since voices are in the same file as the text and thus it'd be a 1gb+ size download. Give a reason to at least try the western release next year I suppose.
