Sitka's Guide to Weapons Worth Hunting

[Sitka]

Using what Dhylec contributed and combining statistics/information/personal experience, I've come up with my own list of what's worth hunting. Obviously this is very subjective and there will always be considerable diffences between individuals on what they consider worth hunting and such.

If you want to add your ideas or suggest items that might be missing from this list, please do. It is not meant to be the end-all of all lists. It is certainly one idea of stuff that I have found useful or might be useful if I had or thought might be useful.

I hope the other thread dies, quite honestly, and apologize for initiating a well meant, but abortive idea.

Your positive/constructive thoughts and ideas are welcome. Please leave the negative/flame baiting attacks somewhere else. Thank you.

*Multiple-enemy hit weapons.
**Unreduced Specials (thanks Kef).
So there it is - my list. I hope it will help others,particularly others that have never used many of these weapons, a better idea on relative worth and refine their time spent on PSO. Feel free to point out areas that need to be updated or corrected - this is my first stab at such a thing. And as I've said before, there will no doubt be differences in opinion, but please approach this concept in a positive way.

The way I might use this list would be to check a high value item that I am interested in and then look at Tycho's Guide to determine how much time might be spent obtaining the item. It might also give those who trade a better idea on what relative value or usefulness might be for certain items.

[Hrigg]

Good job on it. It'll definately be useful.

[HUcastShinobi]

Would you mind fixing this so it has spaces? its really difficult to read... I hope you wouldnt mind doing that... ><

[Saiffy]

Couple of weapons shouldn't be in there.


Heaven Punisher for example. Yasminkov 7000V too. It may be powerful. But the lack of rifle range kills it.

They're probablly other weapons, but I'm not going to look through it all now...

[Hrith]

Something important you left out, Sitka, whether specials get reduced or not, this certainly changes things, I assure you >.>

[Sitka]

I know you're right Kef, but I'm not real familiar with the reduced special concept. If you'd be so kind as to point out how that works and which weapons can be affected by it, I'll make adjustments to the list.

As for the Yas 7000V and the Heaven's Punisher, I really like the Yas 7000V in some situations. I agree with the Heaven's Punisher though. A friend gave me his and I've never liked using it. It just seems like a weapon that rare should be on the list - but you're probably right.

[Hrith]

There is one more weapon I need to test and I can say I have tested all weapons in the game x_x;
It's the Flight Cutter, I do not have one, I need to know if the Devil's is reduced, if anyone that has online on GC and a FLight Cutter would lend it to me ;x

Here are the weapons with unreduced specials:
All 30 S-Rank weapons

Red Dagger (Soul)

Chain Sawd (Gush)

Chameleon Scythe (Geist)

Sange & Yasha (Gush)

Flight Fan (Lord's)

Guld Milla (Gush)

Red Sword (Seize)

Sealed J-Sword (Hell)

Crazy Tune (Havoc)

Huge Battle Fan (Havoc)

Red Partisan (Freeze)

Meteor Cudgel (Blizzard)

G-Assassin's Sabers (Seize)

Rainbow Baton (Chaos)

Burning Visit (Havoc)

Iron Faust (Havoc)

Gi Gue Bazooka (Seize)

Spread Needle (Seize)

Red Mechgun (Havoc)

Samba Maracas (Havoc)

Black King Bar (Devil's)

Imperial Pick (Devil's)

Demolition Comet (Devil's)

Any other Dagger, Paired Sword, Double Saber, Mechgun, Shot, Sword, Partisan, Slicer that is not on the list has a reduced special, which may make it next to useless (this applies to non-rare weapons, obviously).

[Mixfortune]

Also, quick note to add, as it seems (unless I misread) that Sitka also would like to know what a reduced special means.

Basically, the special is split in effectiveness amongst the number of hits additional to a normal 1-1-1 combo that hits a single target.

I'm not too familiar with exactly how certain specials split, or how they split depending on the weapon... but let's say you're using a Gush Edge, which has a 2-2-2 combo. Basically, each successful hit of the special would only recover 50% compared to, say, a Gush Gladius.

Mechguns are 1/3rd, Slicers... 1/4th? Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, which I sure I am... but hopefully Sitka will understand it more.

Sorry for being off topic... not my intent to branch this thread off into a "Reduced/Unreduced Specials" thread, so just a quick clarification will do, then we can carry on with the normal thread.

[Skorpius]

One thing I don;t understand is why, if something doesn;t meant some pointless standard, it is automatically classified as "useless" when it still does what it's supposed to?

Crush Bullet works. Useless? No.

Also, what about ID cards, Flowen's/DB's Swords?
You also don't have Musashi, which is very worth it's rarity.
No Double Saber? It's a good Melee FO weapon.
Soul eater may not be "hunted" but it is still effort to obtain. It is far from worthless.
FO usable Agitos? Not worthless to a collector.
Also Keep in mind that S-rank weapons are invlid, or should also have Offline Only counter parts, due to many players not having Online capabilities.

This "guide" is more like "This is what Sitka is willing to put effort into hunting for" rather than a usefull guide. And if you're going to add others' imput, then you're just going to have the item database repeated in this one topic.

[Saiffy]

PJ has a Flight Cutter... just gotta find him


Bleh, later I'll go through the list for some items that just aren't worth it >_>;
