Does anyone know what causes the Error Code 630? I've posted in the Technical Support section, but that was no help. Hoping someone here might know...

Game is pretty much unplayable for me right now because of it...

[KazukiQZ]

Error Code 630 happens when you lost connection to the game in any way possible, such as the server's extremely busy or your internet connection suddenly cut off. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, but what could be causing it? Nobody else seems to get disconnected as much as I do, and nothing else uses the internet when I play PSO :-?

Plus it seems that once I get 630'd I can't play at all that entire day (A few days ago I'd get 630'd at login throughout the 10 or so hours I tried to login... 11:55PM, 630'd... 12:05 AM? Perfectly fine, no issues at all.)

At least this time I managed to stay connected for the 2 minutes I needed to hand in my CO. Finally level 40~

There are various reasons to the cause. (what you quoted from kaz are the reasons >_> )

[Zephryl]

There are various reasons to the cause. (what you quoted from kaz are the reasons >_> )

I meant more something specific, something that's actually fixable. Something like "Oh, do you have X program installed? I dunno why, but it's caused issues before"

because currently I've tried everything I can think of to fix it and PSO is still the only program that's having "Connection problems". I'd assume that if it was server side there'd be more people having issues...

That's questionable depending on the disconnecting issue. Few I can name though:

-If it's internet issues, the resetting router/internet/computer would do the work.
-Hardware issues would mean making replacements and upgrades (not likely this)
-Get a new router (my old router which is suppose to be very good kept disconnecting from the internet yet it was only 1 month old).
-You're playing on your laptop/desktop for too long.
-You have a virus or something and need to do a clean up.

Just want 2 important piece of clue:
-What time are you also logging in? Although rarely for me, lag (leading to DCs) normally caused during rush hours can lead to terrible amounts of DCs.
-Are you also disconnected from your internet when this happens?
-What's your ping and FPS when you are running the game?

(either one being answered is fine)

DCing isn't normally a server issue since most cases it has been a more of a individual thing but rarely will it be a server wide issue which (by pattern of game histories that I had played) normally happens some bits after a huge update.

I've restarted the router, computer and reinstalled the game~ Definitely not an issue with that part.

I also doubt it's a hardware issue, if it was it'd affect more things and cause different/more problems that just error 630.

Desktop, and I can get 630'd if I've been playing for 5 minutes or a couple hours :(

A virus is possible, but I'd think that would affect more than just PSO as well. Maybe I'll have to get a different antivirus to do a scan...


I think my first bout of DC's today was lag related, since a Dark Falz event has just started and I was on a populated block getting one done for the Bingo.

The Internet is fine when PSO goes down, I've tried having the command console constantly pinging google so that I could see if any packets are being dropped when PSO disconnects, but so far none have.

I'm not sure how to check Ping and FPS in PSO, but my framerate only visibly drops when I change/join new blocks that are populated (And only for 10~ seconds while it loads all the models).

Now that I think of it, after I 630 the first time, I get massive lag when I try to play again... Is it possible that the first disconnect is screwing up my connection with their servers somehow?

[strikerhunter]

Things that comes into mind after what you replied with:

-Lag (somewhat no power to fix it unless it's on your end).
-Latency (you have near no power to fix that).
-Probably also your specs. Try lowering PSO2's specs/graphics/shading/etc. through in-game or launcher options.

Put all the settings down to their lowest, and all that happened was my character looked terrible while I was disconnected.

Still getting terrible lag when I log in, when nothing else is using the internet... Is it currently a peak time for Japan or something?

[KazukiQZ]

Terrible lag eh?.....Always happen to me after each big update (Some people said that the game manually download the big screen videos ONLY while playing PSO2, thus causing the lag)

[blace]

It's currently sometime after 7PM for them, so technically yeah.

What times of the day do you play at regularly and when does it usually happen?

[Zephryl]

I usually play in the afternoons (GMT +10, usually around 5-6 hours before now) and I haven't noticed it happening at any consistent time.

[Invader J]

Anyone know what's the name of the song from the Christmas quest? also, if possible, from wich game is it?

It was used in PSU but is not from PSU. It is from Nights Into Dreams. Also I am showing my age. lol.

Well, your times sort of coincide with the time in Japan as they're GMT+9.

Might just be your relative location and geography of the area offering poorer connectivity to Japan, or Sega's servers.

[Valkryos]

Quick question, in Aida's "PSO2JP English Setup (Slipstreamed with the latest updates - Updated 12/6/2013)" thread, did she ever include the tweaker and everything?


EDIT : yes, it's a valid concern of mine

[Zephryl]

Yeah, well I dunno :\ It suddenly started working, so I got to play for a while at least. I'll keep note of when it happens in future, might be that I just can't play during Japan Peak Hours. Hopefully it's something "Simple" like that.

[Rakurai]

Is there something about AQ party etiquette I'm not aware of?

I ask because I've gotten kicked from the parties of JP players on multiple occasions without so much as a word of warning, despite not doing anything that goes against what was stated in the party description, nor doing things like running ahead of the leader or going off in different directions.

[Zephryl]

So, I just unlocked "Very Hard" mode, and hit level 40. And, well, what should I do now?

Should I just keep plugging away at EQs and COs to level more? Or is there some actual decent gear I can hunt for? (Hunter, uses all three melee weapons)

Also, on that note, when should I start Grinding my gear?

Since the addition of SH mode. VH is pretty much like H mode. The only change is now you can do VH time attack client orders(TACO) which give 100k meseta per order. Once you reach level 45, doing Advance Quests may help. Also not that the subclass leveling is cap at 45 so if you have any other classes of interest. you can use that.

a.) They have a vibe that you might not be able to understand further instructions in case of change of plans. Language Barrier
b.) Probably see you have a low level subclass that you want to level but they don't find appealing.
c.) Just wanted to kick you.

Well, that's the game purpose, to get stronger and better equips. Grind your gear ASAP, no question. More damage, more defense, it's priority, unless you're low on cash and be prepared to lose lots of cash by trying to grind to 10. If you're low on cash, stop at 7.

[Rashiid]

That brings up a question from me. What's a safe level (currently Techer 22 / Force 31) to actually start grinding gear? 9* gear? I don't want to seem like a penny pincher, but if I spend all this meseta on grinding one weapon just for it to become obsolete in 5 levels where I can equip something better, I see no purpose in dumping a wad of e-cash on grinding so early.

A lot of meseta at 22/31 will seem like nothing once u hit 45 and you can do tacos without problem. I say spend any amount of money that will make the game easier and more fun. You'll get more later, I promise.

[isCasted]

What zones should I check out in order to see if I didn't screw something after I used Makeover Pass? I want to see my character in as many kinds of lighting as possible before 60 minutes run out.

[Pugas87]

Is anyone experiencing graphics issues in the campship? Specifically, I've seen a ray of light projecting from a couple people sometimes. For example:

[SPOILER-BOX]https://rhwawa.bay.livefilestore.com/y2pnIQ6Y9r8szMB-hd7SoIbrBXxv4Kq7jtV2CEQezJQLXA2EcypTeKmVMeet9Ozq6W QmuP6lUoHQrIzD1R0L5yqi2uiZEJx0RSASXw9UkvoWh8/pso20131212_110141_000.jpg?psid=1[/SPOILER-BOX]

As much as I like the idea of characters sending out their own versions of the bat symbol, does anyone know what's causing this and/or how to fix it?

Thanks

[Patmaster]

I do have a problem since the update. Pso2.exe crashes everytime when I want to chance blocks. I can log in fine and do everything else. But when it comes to the pipe loading screen it crashes every time. I have checked all files via tweaker and restored everything to vanilla without eng patch but nothing helped. :/

[Takatsuki]

I was thinking... out of pure hypothetical curiosity, if one wanted to make a BR/TE so that they could have access to all attack types (via Katana, Bow and an all-class Wand), and if they wanted to actively swap between all 3 types equally, what should their build be like?

[Myriarch]

when is the next skill tree reset? A guess would be nice too.

[Emp]

When they change Wand Lovers skill on Techers. Since its only skill being change/introduced, Sega will prolly only give resets to only those who have capped Techer.

Ya I never even touched my force so I guess I get nothing then.

[SociableTyrannosaur]

I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but a friend seems to think that the expanded storage delete items if you ever let them expire. I know premium isn't like that so I can't imagine the expanded storage (the one you have to buy tickets for) is either. Anyone who use this able to weigh in?

[gigawuts]

They've said that any time any skills are changed everyone will get passes for each character they have. They specifically mentioned both additions and rebalances.

The only exception to this was a hotfix after gunner had some issues, so anyone who obtained that specific skill within the like 2 day window it was bugged got a reset pass but nobody else did, iirc.

Items placed in storage will stay there forever until you withdraw them.

Doesn't matter if a premium/expanded box expires. All that means is you can't deposit anymore, kinda like the temporary storage box.

Though it was only for the one skill, I believe anyone with Gunner unlocked got a skill reset, even if it was only lv1 and could not possibly have learned the skill.

They could do it that way again, so I'd unlock Techer to be safe. Just get Force or Braver to 30 and do the COs if you haven't already.

[IndigoNovember]

For Lottie's Partner Card, is it just an affection based CO like the other NPC Partner Cards?

[KnightLautrec]

Okay I've had this problem the last few days. Whenever I try to sign in, I get stuck at "Authenticating SEGA ID". I left it open for like 40 minutes the other night and I was signed in eventually, but it made me do the tutorial again and I got disconnected halfway through it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game since this started happening and nothing has helped.

[gigawuts]

Near as I can tell you unlock her card as soon as you're able to grab her SH fangulf CO. I couldn't tell you about affection requirements for that since I already had her at red.

[Zephryl]

What is a "Safe" level to grind weapons to before you're capable of VH TACO's for income?

By safe, I mean a grind level that's a decent balance of risk/reward.

Also, should I build my mag so that I can equip the best of each multi-class weapon with Hunter as my main (And another subclass to make the most out of that weapons abilities), or should I just focus on Hunter and Fighter stats? Or, should I build enough that I could use Weak Bullet, and then focus on HU/FI stuff?

[The Walrus]

I'd say build your mag for the primary class you intended to use.

As for a safe level to grind, I'd say +7 for 7-9* weapons

Okay, thanks! Makes it easier to train I guess lol.

What's the cheapest/easiest to get item that lowers Ability on Mags?

[Kikikiki]

Room Goods.

[Telchii]

Mates are very cheap and can lower the Ability/Dex on your mag.

Monomates boost S-ATK a bit and lower DEX/ABL. I believe Dimates work on R-ATK, and Trimates on T-ATK.

I could be wrong about the ATK part... It might be DEF stats that it raises. But once you feed your mag another weapon or two, the DEF stat will drop back down.

(someone correct me if I'm wrong or if there's a better item, please!)

[moeri]

Are there any wikis or anything that have information about character back stories?

I am particularly interested in Tea and Patty.

[Zephryl]

Room Goods and Monomates seem to be the best bet, thanks!

In regards to my Mag issue, I just went through all the weps and skill trees and I think I'll put 13 points into R-Atk, that way I can equip the best all-class Rifles, Launchers and Twin Guns. I couldn't equip the best FO stuff without serious Mag stat allocation, which I'm not willing to do, but 13 points for access to Weak Bullet seems like a good deal~

Skill Tree (http://ryuhiroshi.funpic.de/pso2/skillcalc.php?06gFbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkcgIn iBIzlbkIqBGSbondIscAcAfGA000006ebHoGBboGKIbFN00007 bJeGFfGFcAiAl20000lb2QHSfJIcDA000074OIk2XcKjcAbAjb n0000j4OdxHX0fGAI200000Ibf4NdxmxsXI2l20000) If anyone has the time and wants to double check I haven't missed anything major, that'd be good~

[Saffran]

I don't recall anybody praising Chase Bind, so I'm guessing it's not a good idea to have it. You could use the points to get Chase Advance Plus to the max. (only invest the minimum in halfline boost)
Also, on your Hunter tree, if you spent only 3 points in SAtk1 instead of 4, you could use the last point in Rare Weapon Mastery. That single point will give you 30Satk, which is not too shabby.

Well, just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I wasn't sure which way to go for that, but I figured I had a lot of time before I'd need to decide.

And thanks, I totally forgot I could do that now! My old set was using different mag stats, so I needed that 4th point to hit 700 S-Atk, and now I don't so it's a much better use of my point~

Seeing as how I'm completly oblivious to how to search a thread for answers..

Anyone mind answering me this? I'm still a newbie in PSO (level 20'ish) but I have no idea how to get Parts/Costumes.

How do those work? Drops? Fun card scratching?

Thank you in advance.

For costumes and Cast parts you can either get them with AC scratch tickets or purchase them from other players' shops using the Visiphone (the stand with the purple icon above it).

http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-opening-up-player-shops-and-arks-card/#shop This guide will tell you how to buy things and what the search options are.

http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/ This website provides a list of all outfits, accessories, weapons etc. Just copy and paste the name of the item you want into the shop search.

Hope this helps.

I was hoping they'd be drops of some kind though, pity it isn't so. :)

[PokeminMaster]

Okay, I'm confused as to how I obtain Lottie's Partner Card as well as her Client Order for training with her... With Lubert, all I really did was improve his relationship to the yellow face, but I still haven't gotten hers yet; is it a specific CO I must also complete, or do I have to climb all the way to Quartz Dragon to get it?

EDIT: I got lucky and found a boosted Blumegalla on SH, thus completing two COs at once, and got her P.C.... just a few more steps to do everything except Mining Base Defense on the Bingo (All I need is [Persona] now... DARKER'S DEN EQ, WHERE ARE YAAA)

[Gen2000]

Anyone here familiar with using the trading feature from Premium? Can you trade PA Disc between players if both are Premium status?

I found an extra lv.16 Sazan disc and wanted to know if this was an option to help a friend out before considering wasting away one of my free 1 Day Premium Passes

Edit: Ah ok, thanks for info joozek. Was hoping Premium status trading bypassed the lockout of high level disc. Bah.

Perfect. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, Pugas.

FYI: I'm pretty new to PSO2 - just started about 3 weeks ago - and really just got my groove on a week ago (settled on character, getting used to controls, etc.). I bought my first costume yesterday, from a player shop, for my character. The name was in JP so I wasn't sure what to call it. Thanks to you, now I know:

アークス研修生女制服　夜
Arks Trainee Female Uniform
Night

Looks like this - http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Trainee-Outfit-Female.jpg - but it's in a dark blue instead.

Coolness. Thanks again.

Anybody got a pic of the chainsaw sword ingame? I saw one in a thread a few days ago now I can't find it ;_;

[Baelius]

Well I had a character since day 1 but I'm still confused on something.

What exactly do those circle platform things do? It sends out those rings that inflicts poison until you get on top of it and purify it, but does it do anything after that?

[Sandmind]

It's all a matter of personal taste and how well it would fit (or not) your character. I cannot give a better answer than that really.

[IndigoNovember]

If Photon Collect only boosts the success rates of Status Effects, why does it exist for units?

Edit: The answer is, it also raises success rates of Resistances.

Anyone know how big tomorrows update is gonna be? Really hope it isnt 3+gigs like last week :/

They're just going to unlock some costumes.

It's not like it's going to download anything heavy.

Sega always mentions how large the updates are.
This week's update is 32MB (15.6GB if you're a first timer).

Anyway thanks for answer ^^

What can be placed in present boxes? I heard there was a 100,000 meseta cap, but what about items? You can't trade 10stars that way right?

Okay, Patty and Tia partner cards. How get? I've been told it's to do with the ARKS tournament story quest. I'm guessing I just bring P&T when I clear the quest?

Right. You can only place items that you can buy from the market without trading passes. If something is account bound it can't be placed either.

What gear would I need to solo as a Level 58 Braver? My team is dead so I'll have no one to play with, and i'm not really looking for a new one.

EDIT: S atk based katana

I'm playing braver with agito power iii quartz soul 50 element fire until i can upgrade it further. Agito is relatively cheap now with xmas drops. Also I have on the shoulddot lucky rise units, which boosts HP a lot, has strike resist, its easy to grind to 226 sdef, and increases the drop rate. I am 56/54 Br/Hu and I do alright solo.

[jooozek]

As fo how do i know which techs to use to encourage pse bursts? i never know if im using the right techs to get a pse burst or not

doesn't matter what techs you use, just know that when the weather changes PSE gets a boost of appearing

[PokeminMaster]

Well, couldn't you technically swith to a Tech with larger range (Zan, perhaps) or something like Zondeel+Nazonde to wipe out larger numbers of enemies at a time? I mean, not a true boost to PSE, but killing more enemies within a shorter time... But I guess some of those Techs just don't hit as hard... I don't know XD

Also, is it possible to update the game before the actual patching ends? Like, is there a time while the servers are still patching but the client files are already available?

[Emp]

As fo how do i know which techs to use to encourage pse bursts? i never know if im using the right techs to get a pse burst or not

Its most helpful for you and others, if you spam zondeel and zonde. Ya its one dimensional but it helps the mpa kill faster and maybe strike a cross burst.

I wouldnt suggest Nazonde. Its a pp zapper and iirc, it doesnt get help from pp bolt save? I might be wrong but it seems like it really doesnt.

[PokeminMaster]

Oh, I love combining it with Zondeel; it requires 40 PP at cast, but it doesn't drain anything. I main Techer, but it's really useful in dealing extra bursts of damage, the problem being enemies can still attack during it, much like Zondeel... So you still kinda sacrifice yourself. Also helpful for shocking Dark Falz XD

Do Wand Gear hits count as technic damage for the purpose of % technic damage boosts? ie: would it be wise to change the element on a windmill to wind to get the damage bonus from the latent?

It's treated as striking damage, as it benefits from Chase Advance.

Actually, it's still coming in January.

The system is just being updated sometime in mid 2014.

It'll allow you to increase the stats of 1-10 star weapons and units by using materials received from breaking down unneeded 7-10 star gear and level 11+ discs. It'll also allow you to change the properties of techs.

[Rakurai]

Is there any kind of general trend regarding what affixes and number of slots on gear tend to be worth trying to sell?

I know people will frequently buy two slotted gears if they have a stat III or soul as one of the abilities, but I'm kind of lost as far as gear with more then two slots goes.

[milranduil]

^ you can search this in shops buy adding the specific affix to the second search box as well as the number of slots. You can use this to determine base price for stuff such as power3/x/x/x, soul/power3/x/x etc.

[NexusAZ]

[spoiler-box]http://i.imgur.com/55yK2ey.jpg[/spoiler-box]

I believe that's the box for when you have a quest for that area that involves a certain NPC to be with you. It's asking if you wish to start in a new MPA instead of joining an existing one to ensure you can bring the NPC along.

What does the number beside the element on your weapon indicate? Percent or bonus ATK?

[jooozek]

What does the number beside the element on your weapon indicate? Percent or bonus ATK?

percent of the weapons ATK (techniques don't get anything from the element, just fyi)

[Greyvorg]

So from a 200 Satk 50 fire weapon against a fire weakness, it'll hit as though your weapon has 300?

[jooozek]

no, if monsters had 0 defense it would do that to everything that isn't weak to fire and stuff that is weak to fire would get a further boost which depends on the enemy weakness multiplier, most commonly it could go from 1.2x to 1.3x to the elemental part, so you'd be doing instead 320-330
basically, no matter what element you use, you will pretty much always deal more damage because resistances aren't as prevalent

[TaigaUC]

Do I still get the set bonus if I mix 9 star units with 10 star units of the same type?

For example, this:
http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AF%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9E%E3% 83%B3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3

[jooozek]

the set bonus is the same for the 9* and 10* so i imagine you can mix them; yellow/black/white wings for example have different set bonuses
i'm not 100% sure though

[Z-0]

You can mix them.

What attributes are overall better on weapons? Fire? Light? Or something else?

[Otokonokotron]

shoot im affixing three abilities onto a weapon.

i have vol soul, power 2, and shock 1 across all three weapons.

with a 20% booster,
vol soul: 100%
power 3: 70%
shock 2: 100%

I thought, that power 3 would work like moving up to shock 2, or at least give me a higher probability than a base of 50%. is it a rule or something that raising abilities like power to level 3 can only be 50%? if i through a mutation in there, it raises power 3's odds 60%, but lowers shock 2 to 60 (i think, cant remember).

so i can either,
100, 100, 70
or
100, 80, 80

now, im really not sure what to do here. the 80% method looks slightly more doable than 70%, but i have had stuff fail on me at 80%. and 70 percent its still kinda a gamble.

anybody have any insight or suggestions maybe? the more i think about it the more i think the 80% might be the better one.

I would just do Shock I instead of making Shock II, it has literally the exact same proc chance, duration, and stagger frequency as Shock II... You should be able to get 100% with all 3 with a booster that way if you grab a Vol Soul, Power II, Mutation I weapon instead of your third Shock I fodder.

[Rakurai]

What attributes are overall better on weapons? Fire? Light? Or something else?

Light is generally regarded as the best element, with fire and lightning being about equal after it.

If two of the fodders have power III instead of Power II, you would have 100% chance transfer for Power III with a 20% booster.

[musicmf]

*Affixing*

IIRC, you want to have
Vol Soul + Shock I or II + Power III
Same + Same + Same
Same + Same + *Free Spot*
+20% Ability

For Soul+Stat3+Status2, that should net you 80/80/80, boosted to 100/100/100.

Although I generally just do Soul+Stat only, cause I'm a cheapskate. So ignore me if I'm mistaken.

------

Statistically, if you need a choice between 100/80/80 or 100/100/70...

The 100/80/80 gives you a 64% Success Rate for both affixes, 32% chance at only 1 success of the two, and a 4% chance at neither.
Since having only 1 stat succeed is worthless with affixing, you generally just have a 64% Success, 36% Fail rate.

The 100/100/70 give you, shocker!, a 70% success rate, with a 30% fail rate.

Since the chance is overall greater with 100/100/70, I'd affix with that if I were you.

[Otokonokotron]

yeah... i think ill go with the 70%. i spent a really long time doing tacos to to get the affix boosters to get the same abilities across all three of them. so at this point i only need just another mil for a booster and its over.

You need to have a fodder that is the same class/rarity of the weapon you wish to attribute grind. Go through like you normally would, but at the last confirmation screen, you'll have two drop-downs. One will be for % boosters and the other for elemental changes.

That would depend entirely on how prone you are to getting hit, and whether you can survive being hit.

I consider having enough defense to survive two hits from the average Super Hard enemy enough, personally.

[Saffran]

Tsubasa Kuroda > those affixes, wow. Too bad they're on regular items.
You can keep those if you still survive a few hits in SH or if you *know* you're going to evade all of this. Otherwise, you should really consider getting a 10stars set. Some of them are really cheap (the latest pale blue wing thingie should be pretty cheap anyway) but then comes affixing and THAT is quite expensive...

Two quick questions;

1) Does Average S Charge apply to the Katana timing-like charge circle skills? (Mainly talking about; Kanran, Sakura, Hatou, and Shunka)

I hadn't touched Braver since they came out, and back then I thought the charge bonus didn't work with the Katana Skills.
But I thought I read somewhere that the Charge bonus does work for them?

2) Whats the most cost efficient way to upgrade an 11* Weapon?

With 10* I normally do Brute force to +7, then use +1 protects.
And use a booster as well for the final upgrade (+5/10%)

Should I be doing anything different for 11*? (+0->7 Upgrade item) (+2 Protects) (Full Protects) (+20/30% Boosters)
Or should is it pretty much the same?

Lag can cause the buttons to not activate.

You literally have to walk on top and wait a moment to make sure.
Don't hop-on-hop-off because that tends to result in non-activation.

Wildarms > get a +7 ticket then full protects until it sticks. If you find getting a +7 ticket too tedious, brute force to +5 then use grind protects (+1) until 7 or 8 (do you feel lucky, punk?) then full protects.

It's not possible, to my knowledge, except for a single risky method. You can put the items up for sale (cheap price), while your friend is ready to check your shop, but there's the chance that somebody else can buy it first.

Yes, you can drop a gift box( バレンタインギフト or ホワイトギフト) in their room and put things inside them. As long as they have space in their room and the item is not 10* or account bound it's possible.

is there any guide or link on how to get the stones on EXQ?

The stones are random drops throughout the XQ run.

Are you asking about which floors are the best to run to farm said stones?

dat and alos the 2nd teir stone and catalyst

[lilibat]

I am so confused, just started play a couple weeks ago. Trying to finish the Xie Christmas order Where you have to complete "Gift of the Storm'. Does that only happen in the Christmas EQ? I have run that thing a dozen times & never seen this. Tried looking it up online a few ways & feel no more enlightened.

Mr. Umbra can appear in more places than just Merry Christmas on Ice 2, but that emergency is indeed one of most probable places to find him.

[jooozek]

if you do the eq, he has as really high chance to spawn in the 2nd area, in the right path

I'll keep running it but, that music is the stuff of nightmares. it's been stuck in my head for days. :disapprove:

It depends on the XQ you plan to run. Without boost, you're probably better off running the full thing.

2nd tier stones can happen as drops, but you get 4 as a completion bonus along with the catalyst. You need 90 Tier 3 stones to make one Tier 2 stone and 30 Tier 2 to make a Tier 1. 5 Tier 1 stones will require about 13500 Tier 3 stones. Although, you can get 3 stones free from titles now, which makes getting that 11 star a lot easier.

As far as the best floors to run for farming, I really only know 1-5 is best for Tundra. Outside of that, I'm not sure. Tundra is the only XQ I've really cared to work on so far... So, it's those are the only floors I know off the top of my head. Like I said before though, without boost, you're better off just running the whole thing. Which you SHOULD do at least 2 times for the catalyst you may need.

Corrected. 5 Tier 3 is 13500 Tier 1.

Also I wouldn't really focus on XQ considering that craft system is on the way.

[NexusAZ]

I've always referred to Tier 1 as generally being at the top. I suppose it varies from person to person though. :-?

Think I'll just go with Bottom/Mid/Top to avoid confusion in the future.

If you really want to avoid confusion, just say Small/Medium/Large. Small= Tier 1, Medium= Tier 2, Large= Tier 3

[Rakurai]

I'm personally saving my XQ stones and passes, under the assumption they might be able to get something better once the XQ update comes out next year.

That and the fact that crafting is going to diminish the value pf 11* weapons significantly.

[terrell707]

Whats a good T-ATK to have at lvl 47? Mine right now is about 1245. Is that low? What cheap gear can i get to make it better? Also whats the point of Zanverse?

[MetalDude]

I've wanted to sort this out for a long time since I want some real numbers to go off of so here's my questions:
-Without any modifiers, how much does a JA boost an attack's damage?
-How are JA bonus modifiers calculated into the JA boost?

[Lamiaaaa]

Also whats the point of Zanverse?
zanverse adds an additional hit of wind damage (about one second after the hit) equal to about 20% of the physical damage inflicted while standing inside the vortex
it will apply its added damage with ranged weapons as well so long as you are standing inside it

just attacks add about 20% damage, so they're pretty necessary to get a handle on
not sure about modifiers, whether it's multiplicative or additive I can't say


here's my question: where am I supposed to enter the secret phrase for the FUN ticket?

[Emp]

Iirc, error 249 is server maint? Why does the ships still green on the list?

[Emp]

Nvm. I tore away my game, reloaded and they are greyed out now. Always saw 649, not 249.

[gigawuts]

it will apply its added damage with ranged weapons as well so long as you are standing inside itZanverse adds up all of the damage you deal - striking, ranged, and tech - and applies an additional hit after a set period (1 second, I believe?). This additional hit will be 20% of the damage dealt, or more with masteries. You can get 28.8% with both wind masteries, and up to 33.408% with a latent 3 windmill.

Just attacks apply a static 30% damage multiplier over any damage you would have dealt without JA. Almost all percent-based damage skills are multiplied, with very few exceptions (the only ones I know of being Critical skills, which seem to add, then the flash guards multiply but in a reductive way [the two 20% bonuses on FG1 & FG2 will be applied as .8*.8 instead of 1.2*1.2)).

[MetalDude]

Ohhh, so that's what results in the whole 1.57 JA modifier from HU JA Bonus skills then. Am I right to assume latents apply the same way to it then?

[gigawuts]

Correct. As a rule of thumb, if it's a % it's multiplied, Criticals excluded. The only latent I can think of that I'm not actually sure about would be the Iron Will latent. It might add, it might multiply one way (.75*bonus), or it might multiply the other way (.25*bonus) like Flash Guards do.

I've tested this firsthand numerous times since launch, so I'm not just parroting what people say either.

[MetalDude]

Yeah, I knew some number crunching has been done but I had forgotten about it after a while so I wanted to find out how specifically it was done. It was mostly because someone asked why JA latents are so valuable (I also found 5% to sound really puny but that's actually pretty tremendous).

This bring another question to mind then: is JA damage then calculated last after everything else? First thing that came to mind was From Behind Lv.3 providing 12% damage. So would that be added onto all other flat modifiers first (ie. Fury and Wise Stance) or does the order of operations not matter when everything is math'd together?

[gigawuts]

Since it's all multiplied it doesn't matter.

x*y*z=x*z*y

[MetalDude]

Makes sense. So PA latents would then also be calculated in the same fashion with the latent simply being added in for the PA's damage then. Thanks for the info.

Anyone know what time the servers come back on?

Regarding boosters, and specifically the new mining EQ, what is the best time to use boosters? At the end of the first run just before the boss xtals are broken (which also allows you to carry onto the next run), or at the start of the run?

[Dark Priest]

Regarding boosters, and specifically the new mining EQ, what is the best time to use boosters? At the end of the first run just before the boss xtals are broken (which also allows you to carry onto the next run), or at the start of the run?

i would assume at the end of the final wave, at least imo, as the actual enemies in the quest do not drop anything so having it up during does not seem to make any sense, unless i missed something.

[Arksenth]

Judging from how drops are still largely untekked even if you break the big crystal with a Latented Vraolet, the drops are only being stored by the crystal rather than generated in the moment like boss crystals. So I'd pop the booster for the mobs. Usually I start my booster a few minutes in to ensure it'll be still active when I'm popping the big crystal in case the 11*s are at least generated then.

[MetalDude]

What I've heard many times over is that the drops are calculated and placed into the final drop crystal as soon as you kill them. I'd like to get some more confirmations before leaving you with that though.

[kisamehosh/C]

boost durring all the weaves, unless you just want better drops from the end boss, 11*s and other 10*'s drop from the darkers that end up in the huge red core

[Limbo_lag]

I see, so from the majority of your answers, it seems that the end xtal is the accumulation of everything beaten up until that point, leading to the conclusion that the boost occurs as is. Thanks. In that case, I think the most optimal time to use a 250% (if you plan to use one 250 ticket for 2 runs), might be just before beating bibras. Ill have to test this sometime to see :/

[MetalDude]

I like to use one around wave 4. It'll have enough time to finish once the last wave of the second run is done.

[Rakurai]

I use mine at the start of wave 3, as that's when the huge waves of Goldrahdas start showing up, and they're the ones who seem to drop all of the clone weapons.

[Kiyumi]

Is everyone here on server 2? How often is that server full? Because when I created my character that one was full, but I havent seen it full since.

That is the unofficial English server right?

its never full, it was just a bug, sega messed up stuff like always, this exact kind of thing happens maybe once per few month

[Ratazana]

The drops are assigned from the table at the end of each wave.

[TaigaUC]

Anyone else find it amusing that the servers collapsing was because of people transferring ship?

Edit:
Haha. I totally called the 1x 100% Tri-boost compensation. I feel sorry for the people that lost 250% and XQ tickets or more.
Some people at Ricardo's blog are complaining about bizarre corruption, too.
SEGA'S TRI-BOOST. COMPENSATING FOR EPIC FAILURES SINCE 2012.

Someone should make a meme of the tri-boost icon image with text saying something like, "Utterly screwed? Have a TRI-BOOST."

[Emp]

How do you unlock the new Story chapter quest? Is there any story quest I need to redo because I had to do that Ruins one to get the last story chapter.

[pkemr4]

will installing the pso2 benchmarker mess with the main game files?

[The Walrus]

it's stored in a separate folder in the main sega folder last i knew so no

[pkemr4]

it's stored in a separate folder in the main sega folder last i knew so no

does it run with all the display settings turned on?

[Skye-Fox713]

does it run with all the display settings turned on?

yes i believe it dose

[pkemr4]

how came the game wont save beyond 50 detailed character model count?

[TaigaUC]

Because it sucks. I had that problem too and gave up.

[Otokonokotron]

um, im tryin to figure out what i got from an extreme quest...?
i got 5 of them, their icon picture is a box (like client order drops, but its not one of those), it has a rarity of one. i cant figure out what it is cuz its in kanji, and i dont think its a fragment or anything cuz its picture is a box and not a gem looking thing.
anyone know what these are? thnks

nvrmind figured it out

[Vordox]

1:
Fang Banther = Where does it spawn most safely? Trying to do Fighter Second +5 FI points, level 41+. Where is highest chance to find it successfully, that doesn't require a party?

2:
What's the most effective way to destroy Bio Meduna's tail at level 60+? Probably most safest as well if able.
Lubert's Client Order.

3:
How the HELL do you find a level 41+ ROckbear with "Tainted" status?
(Lottie's Client ORder, have had it since level 45, and not a SINGLE f'cking Rockbear with "Tainted" nor infected has been found, urgh.)

PS: I am Sword Hunter, Fighter Sub.

Also, when is next Forest Fang Banther Subdue?

[The Walrus]

1. Naberius 2 Time Attack. Take the top left path when you get to the Tundra part.

3. I would assume it just wants an infected Rockbear so just do free forest on VH till you find one at the end.

As for 2 I can't really answer that...

[Vordox]

Thank you for 1. <3 Finally can be done with it.

I need to do TAs it seems. Well, got to learn for one day. ^w^

As for 3: Yeesh, that's gonna be a pain, hope it works.

[Nitro Vordex]

I'm not actually here for a question.

I just thought I saw my name.

Please continue.

[Wise Man]

Just two quick questions please;

1: Are the majority of English players still on ship 2?
2: What is the simplest way of getting arks cash items?

I told myself I wouldn't buy any but after seeing all the different designs and such, I can't help it any more >_< That and trying to save up 1 million meseta seems like a steep climb... Any help would be great with this!

Thanks in advance!

2. Webmoney but Don't remember where is the thread.

[Wise Man]

Cool, thank you very much and i'll keep my eyes open for it then!

[Vordox]

Another Quick Question.

If a Client Order request that you kill a certain enemy with a certain weapon, are you able to harm the mob down till it's about dead, then swap weapon, does it count as a mob was killed with the changed weapon?

[The Walrus]

Yup, whatever weapon is equipped when the enemy dies is what it counts as.

[.Jack]

With the crafting stuff coming up I heard it was a good idea to hang onto 10*'s so I've accumulated 100+ and it's taking up a good chunk of space. Are there certain ones that are ok to Xcube or ticket pass or should I keep holding on to them?

hard to say because double potentials are coming out as well so there is nothing safe to excube

Big Vardha spawn on Desert 2

Does it only have one map variant (exit - quadruple box - exit)?

Only 1 Desert map spawns him which also spawns the Dou Ragne but the map is very rare along with the appearance rate as well.
