    Default December Tidbits: Weapon Abilities (Not Affixes)

    Courtesy of Bumped.org.
    PSO2 JP: December Tidbits

    This post is updating live and will change as more information is gathered.

    Aside from the long list of gameplay changes mentioned previously, a few new features are planned for the December update.

    Weapon Potential Abilities:

    Certain weapons have hidden special abilities.
    It is unknown at this time if it applies to all weapons.
    The current example they gave was for “Ardillou”
    Ardillou has a hidden ability called “Instant Load?” or “Instant Trigger?” (Not sure on exact name.)
    This increases the Just Attack Power by 3%

    Weapon Potential Abilities Procedure:

    First grind the weapon to +10 because only weapons that reach +10 can unleash their potential ability.
    A menu in the Item Lab will allow you to release its hidden ability.
    When you unlock this ability, it resets the grind to +0

    Leveling up Potential Abilities:

    Each potential ability has a LV attached.
    To increase this level you must grind the weapon to +10
    At the item lab you can increase the level of the potential ability which will then reset the grind back to +0
    You can do this again and again, it is unknown at this time if there’s a cap for how high your potential ability can go.

    Ardillou +10 > Ability Unlocked LV1 > Ardillou +0 > Ardillou +10 > Ability Unlocked LV2
    Sounds super cool and all, but Grinders are already at 17k each. Jesus.

    But I'm curious about what kind of abilities weapons will have.

    Sweet, so that means they'll be making it easier to grind weapons to +10 now, right?

    ...RIGHT???

    Yeah, no, not until they fire Shithead Doodoo.

    Nice idea really, but it's missing two things:
    - Not-bullshit grinding
    - Enemies challenging enough to need special abilities for (hell, find me anything you *need* +10 for)

    Also wondering what special abilities will be available. +3% JAs is nowhere near worth losing +10 on a 10*.

    Oh, nice. That's a great way to increase the stress on grinding....not like this is an issue for people who have over 200 mil and abuse of AC scratch in a monthly picnic basis, right?

    I doubt they will ease the success rates; thus, trying to improve your equipment will be more than a nightmare from now on.
    Perso...! Wait...wrong game.

    Every RPG should have items that are hella hard to obtain. Yeah, I mean this. You lived without those tiny bonuses until now, so you will survive without them from now on out as well.

    Except they become part of the power creep arms race. It is to be assumed, eventually, that a baseline of equipment is wielded by the players. That baseline will include this, and enemies will be balanced around that.

    If you think this won't result in making the game relatively more difficult and/or tedious (identical terms according to sakai) for the average player then you are sadly mistaken.

    Excuse me? The example bonus listed is hardly anything close to a game changer. Relying on it or not will hardly make for a notable difference.
