I'm hesitating between another photon reduction (10%pp save) OR sturdy recovery (HP leech SSA Fornis style). So far I have 172pp and 1k HP without any weapon equipped...
Any thought is welcome!

Force might be one of the classes that benefits the least from lifesteal. However eliminating Resta/Megiverse stops will improve DPS, especially if you use P Keeper ring, and it's a nice safety net for compound usage. It does nothing for one shots though. I have stats close to yours and many attacks from Dragon rematch seem to be able to one shot me, or come close.

10% reduction in PP usage is a nice boost to sustained damage, especially outside of PPC. My Atra rod reduces PP cost by 20% total and it's really noticeable when using Ilbarta. It also increases the effectiveness of Super Treatment. I've been stacking all of this with TAJA ring as well for 68% PP cost.

I personally went S1: Radiating Grace (+20% PP regen rate)

I'm not sure if I really like Radiating Grace by itself. I think Photon Reduction is better overall. It provides more benefit outside of PPC, and doesn't care if techs are charged. RG seems to only over take it with PPC up and long tech charges. RG isn't bad, I just personally think PR gives more benefits.

Sturdy Recovery isn't quite like Fornis/Vampiric Blade from what I have gathered, rather it only has a set chance to proc.

If that's the case, then I'd probably go with PR too.

Photon Reduction is probably better since Sturdy Recovery isn't quite like Fornis/Vampiric Blade from what I have gathered, rather it only has a set chance to proc.

This ^
If anyone using 'sturdy recovery' could confirm this please?
I'm already leaning for Photon reduction but checked sturdy recovery price and thought "hey why not"

Edit: also yes I'm using PK ring and yes I thought about sturdy recovery because of Dragon eq and prolly upcoming eqs.

Edit2: If this video is about sturdy recovery like I believe it is D: ... then yay PR all the way!

Does crafting a high end techs give you better Great Success odds, or should I just stick with lower tech at 5 PA Disks a pop to reach my final Great Success achievement?

Chance for success is the same, so you're better off with rank 1 crafts.

Easier on the wallet, thanks.

Cursed radiance S2 is 15% of your max PP immediately refunded when damaged at all, right?

Did they do that so people actually have a chance to break Omega Hunars sword?

Thanks. So this kind of tri boost? The ones which don't change anything drop rate wise but at least makes some people log and omg ship2 really need some crowd atm. It's almost "empty" all the time!
