I think everyone noticed that the old times PSO weapon Zanba has made a debut on PSO2

and everyone who dropped it or saw one on player shop must've also realized that it always come with a set affix, that has "10%" in it.

I also realized that grinding Zanba gives more s-atk than grinding normal weapons (it has base 228 s-atk or something, and gets to 400 on +10)...so I guessed this 10% affix is related to that

However, I'm curious about what exactly this affix is.

Zanba was my favorite weapon back on PSO...so I was very much thrilled to see it back on PSO2...but disappointed when I realized it's somewhat low base s-atk...but trhilled again when I saw it's s-atk at +10 c:

however...if this s-atk boost through grinding is due to that affix...it means that if the affix is lost then the boost is too?...so it means a Zanba can't have any other affixes other than that?

if that's the case it makes it not so potentially good...seeing some other non-rare swords gets close to 400 s-atk grinded to +10...and they can have as many affixes as they want, allowing them to go past 400 s-atk and even have more bonuses (on ability or defense perharps)

I'd just like to know if anyone knows what exactly that affix does and if it would get erased or not by adding a new affix to the Zanba

here's a pic showing the affix, if anyone could be kind enough to translate: [SPOILER-BOX]http://i50.tinypic.com/1052kcw.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

That's Another History, which is 10% extra experience. You can find it on this list near the bottom: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpso2.swiki.jp%2Findex.php%3F%25E7%2 589%25B9%25E6%25AE%258A%25E8%2583%25BD%25E5%258A%2 59B%25E8%25BF%25BD%25E5%258A%25A0&act=url

7-9 star rares get an extra 75% bonus damage from grinding, but 1-3 stars get 50% and 5-6 stars get 60%. That's explained here: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpso2.swiki.jp%2Findex.php%3F%25E3%2 582%25A2%25E3%2582%25A4%25E3%2583%2586%25E3%2583%2 5A0%25E5%25BC%25B7%25E5%258C%2596&act=url

I don't think you can keep it and bring in other affixes without having extra weapons with another history, like souls. I'm not certain, I haven't tried it with that affix.

I might be mistaken, but I think that this affix (which is called, strangely, "Another History") gives a 10% boost to Exp points. I myself have found a weapon with the same affix and tried to translate it. If I'm wrong, I hope someone will correct me !

EDIT : Eh, too late. But at least I was right. Woot !

called, strangely, "Another History"

Nothing strange about it; it indicates that it's from another game in the series, and thus, that game's history.
