Ride Slasher 16 is pretty awesome, but Sonic Arrow works as a good substitute. Over End is good where applicable.


Are Rising Edge and Twister Fall 16 any good? I see they got a decent boost there as well and I want to give sword another try.

I want as many PAs to use as possible because I really fucking hate Over End.

[Evangelion X.XX]

Rising Edge 16 is really good damage-wise... especially when you have your sword gear up (for quick charge); it also doesn't get you killed like Over-End. Twister Fall is "okay" I suppose... not a heavy PA move but it's alright... also decent for mobbing if you have sword gear up.

Overall, I think Ride Slasher and Sonic Arrows are some of the better mobbing tools (also to get gear up)... and Rising Edge is the better boss tool if Sword is the primary weapon. Over-End should be used cautiously when the enemy staggers momentarily.

Also, Sonic Arrow can be quite effective as a boss killer too because of its speed; since it's fast you'll be able to Just Guard without too much trouble.

[Otokonokotron]

They are. I've failed 95% twice in a row during boost week.

On the subject of affixing, my question is, modulator follows the same affix rules and chances as boss souls, vinculum, and mutation, yes?

sigh... as odd as this sounds, some how i feel a little better.

[Rhythmatic]

So I just got the Phantasy Star Online 2 Expert Guide and I found a few mentions of the item codes in here, just based on some katakana translations I struggled through and the pictures. Does anyone know where the item codes are located? Or what they look like? I assume they'll be similar to the alphanumeric codes given out by sega in direct emails, but I don't see anyting like that. There's enough Kanji here that I don't expect I'll be able to translate this myself.

I particularly want Twin Reaping / Licht.

EDIT: Nevermind! I found it! For those who may stumble upon this post in the future, there is a 2-layer-thick cardboard insert inside the back cover. Tear it out along the white border, and then split the pieces apart. The item codes for everything is inside!

Regarding mags, how much of a difference do they make, let's say for example your mag is mostly strike and dex, and it has like 10-20 ranged, and you decide to go ranger/gunner, would this have a huge impact? or are mags mainly just for equiping gear early. Seems rather annoying to get a new mag every time you want to use a different class.

[MetalDude]

It's mostly for equipping gear. It has a fair impact on your stats but it's not dire compared to the gains from % bonuses. Not having the proper mag to equip gear can be a real nuisance though. Fortunately, you'd really only need 3 to cover everything.

[Skye-Fox713]

On MB11 with the Arks battle Championship story quest do any of the story characters have any special dialog? I vaguely remember something to do with a scene with Afin at the end of it.

It would depend on the MAG and class combo.

For Example (literally a real example done by me): Going Gu/Hu with 0-Ratk on MAG. that 175 R-atk missing from a pure build R-atk mag makes a big difference in damage.

So it would depend on your class combo and MAG as I just said, the gap between each stats doesn't matter. So if you end like my old MAG, yea it's a huge difference but if your MAG is fed up will then the difference shouldn't be noticeable as long as it works for the class combos that corresponds to the MAG build.

Spoiler Alert: I think it's when Afin meets Apprentice and finds out that she was his sister (consumed by Falz duh like gettemf**)

I've heard chatter about extreme quest / advance quests changing soon. Anyone have more details about this? I have 4 tier 3 stones and am wondering if its worth it to get that last one soon or just hold off because the 11star katana is going to be worthless (as in not worth the effort of obtaining 5 tier 3 stones just to get it) soon?

[RedRaz0r]

Any of you guys running windows 8 with this game? If so, any problems? I was running windows 8 back in the beta for it, and I kept having this issue with pso2 where the game would crash, and it wouldn't let me kill the process, thus not letting me open pso2 until I rebooted my PC. This led me to not buy windows 8.

You can have all of those but Flict. Flict Arma is exclusive to the XQ weapon and is just like Lucky Rise, meaning you cannot transfer it.

[Pugas87]

Attack while flipping, repeat. You'll gain height slowly.
Then you have to hit Z to refresh the camera because SEGA sucks.

[gigawuts]

You can transfer flikt. It's the same as a soul. It's just that nobody bothers with it because of how uncommon and pricey weapons with flikt AND soul are.

[KazukiQZ]

@TaigaUC
^And also if you're a Gunner (as main or sub-class), use Bullet Squall after the S-Roll (so, Bullet Squall must be in the 1st PA slot). Bullet Squall > sRoll 2 times > Bullet Squall > and so on, until the EC timer say 4:44 (this is the time when the invisible wall is gone)

Is there a trick to staying in the air with twin daggers? A certain combo of PAs perhaps? Or should I not JA while in the air?

And is it true with sabers I should set my PAs to Deadly Archer 3x? Does charging it give any additional damage or only increase the range?

Charging DA increases the number of hits. I don't remember on damage since it's been forever since I last played FI.

TD airborne is hard, high airborne like GUs are near impossible in most situations but Sympathetic Dive will give you some air time but it swings you backwards though. I've seen most TD users stay normally no more than a jump or two off the ground using shift to power gear level after every stationary PA. Just bout any stationary PA works well for staying airborne. Most don't go up high because of the challenge to chase mobs/bosses due to the nature of TDs having only 1 true PA to chase down targets from airborne (SD).

better yet, flipity ---> flipity ---> air attack ---> flipity ---flipity ---> air attack (repeat)

that way, you can cancel the third flip which loses your altitude because of the delay, this is also how we Gunners gain altitude during air battles.

More like: flipity ---> flipity ---> Elder Rebellion (E)R ---> flipity ---flipity ---> ER.

ER stations you in the air much longer than regular attacks and BS........uh long but there's a forward movement.

[KazukiQZ]

xD

Oh well, guess different Gunner means different approach to do Air Gunner :3

@WildarmsRE5
Of course, who in the right mind will use 3rd slow-mo sRoll for do Air Gunner? :p

But, I replaced the normal attack part with a PA (my favorite one is Bullet Squall), but I'll try striker's suggestion too (Elder Rebellion) and see the result. More info is always nice ^^b

[WildarmsRE5]

we need more PA's made for air battle, I'm looking at you SEGA ._.

*SEGA logo drops a bead of sweat*

[Saffran]

No, you canNOT transfer flict.
Remember, you need all three items to have flict on them, so you can't take it from somewhere and put it on the weapon you want (aka you can't *transfer* it). You either get an XQ 11stars which comes with it and keep it untouched, or you need to get more XQ drops to attempt to open up slots - affix something else on top of it.

Meaning that unless you get an item off of Quartz *during an XQ floor* which happens to have both quartz soul and flict on it (I have no idea if this is even a possibility) then... well... probably not.

Is it possible to transfer status effects with a 100% chance without using a specific soul to boost the transfer rates? As in, just using the ordinary % boost items.

I know you can transfer Power III at 100% using two Power IIIs and a 20% boost. I'm looking for something similar to that. Is it possible? If not, then what's the best transfer rate I can expect?

Best you can get without a soul is 60% by having SE3 on all 3 items, according to this:
http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A%E8%83%BD%E5%8A%9B%E8% BF%BD%E5%8A%A0

Alternatively, you can get SE2 on all 3 items, plus Mutation I, and get 80% for SE3.

[Arksenth]

You can use an associated soul in conjunction with the status effect. Having the appropriate soul on either your fodders or your target item boosts the status effect transfer rate to 80%, so a 20% booster would bring it to 100%. You only need one status effect III for it to be boosted to 80% this way, two would make it 100%.

You need to match souls to the specific status you want though:
Vol -> Burn
Quartz -> Panic
Gwana -> Poison
Fang -> Shock
Signo -> Mirage
Malmoth -> Freeze

So the ideal is just to match a status effect with the appropriate soul. This works great for melee classes, or for shock if you're ranged.

You're forced to complete Zeno's COs to proceed to that point in the MB, and without mentioning any spoilers I'll say the gifts become obtainable later on.

What exactly is a "PSE Burst?" I thought it was supposed to be monster spawn spam but I was doing marathon training Lilipa on hard and we got a "PSE Burst" and nothing unusual happened. Two robots spawned and then nothing.

[Rakurai]

I don't think PSE bursts can spawn enemies in TAs.

The number of enemies also scales to the number of players on the map, so if you're by yourself, you'll only see a single enemy per spawn as opposed to the 15+ that appears if all 12 players are together.

In some TAs, PSE won't do a thing whereas some others will.

Example: Bursts in Lilipa won't summons mobs but bursts in Nab 1 and Amud 1 will spawn mobs that aren't necessary to kill to advance.

how do i assault buster dash + double step with TD's?

[pinkace]

Not every part of the game has been translated to english. The standard patch covers nearly all the absolute essentials while the large files will cover more extraneous bits.

I don't think I understood you... so the menu where my weapons/items are is not essential? the only thing that is in english is the settings menu before the game. Once I start the game, everything is in japanese.

I'm beginning to think this was a bad idea. The game is not much of a hit, or so i hear, so why fall in love with it? they will take it offline like they did Tabula Rasa.

Extremely, absurdly, impossibly rare.

Try the Mining Base Defense EQ instead.

Quick Question, If your connection is bad-mines is due to the weather right now will you lag on PSO2 or is it graphics just based settings i have started to get the crash error alot and i run this game with 120 fps easily.
If your connect cuts out, you will be kicked out of PSO2 no matter what you were doing, and can lose progress. A constant, yet slow connection should be fine, however, since a lot of activity is processed client side. Though there is the usual latency issues that can arise, especially with the servers being so far away.

How long does it take to raise a max mag

[Evangelion X.XX]

If you want to raise a PURE Mag to the mag lv. cap, then it'll take a couple of months... no lie. If you want to do whatever and could not care less, then it won't be too long. The higher the level on a particular stat, the harder it is to level the stat up.

[UnLucky]

For something like a 110/65 Atk/Dex mag, feeding it only 6* weapons, it would take you around 90 hours.

To raise a pure 175 pure Atk mag by alternating 6* weapons with 4-6* furniture (depending on Atk type), it would be around 360 hours.

To raise a 175 pure Dex mag by feeding it only PA/tech discs would take over 500 hours.

Of course, you can always use mag food devices so you don't have to wait for the energy gauge to deplete.

[Inazuma]

If you really want to focus on leveling your mag asap, you could add a bunch of healing trigger actions to it and go stand in lava in the Caves. Every time a trigger action is used, it eats up a bit of mag energy. Maybe instead of taking 500 hours, you could do it in half that time.

[UnLucky]

Right, those figures assume the worst case scenario of waiting ~13 minutes between feedings (for -33% energy). I believe a mag trigger eats 5% every time, so if you can get one every two minutes then you can raise your mag twice as fast.

Oh, and a large food device would be worth three PA discs for a Dex mag, or two average feedings for a pure Atk mag. Mini devices would be worth 1/3 of that.

[o0Kais0o]

To raise a 175 pure Dex mag by feeding it only PA/tech discs would take over 500 hours.

You know I am so, so, glad the pure dex mag I'm raising is a hungry lil bastard because 500 hours to max it is just... 0.0 Yeah that would suck.

Hello! Back when I started playing pso2 there was quite a lot of activity in MPA's where people would just grind until they got bored. So my question is: is there still any players doing this on VH or SH? Not found any since my long brake, only ever get into areas with 1 or two players with bots. :(

Been searching for a while, but haven't found any tips or answers up to date. Kinda liked just killing stuff, killed quite a few hours in the process. ^^

It's more scattered about pending on hour and day. There are bonuses for days to go mpa in a specific free mission. There is also Emergency Quests that are 2 hours apart from each other usually that people congregate.

Stupid question: I've been farming for tainted fangulf with stupid Lottie for a couple of days now. Anyone have a good spot to find the tainted ones? I've been getting hundreds of fangulf in Explorer and Nab Rappy capture but only the Gulfs have ever been tainted. I know I did this at some point as I unlocked the quest to find a tainted Rockbear, but that was probably just in random MPAs long ago.

[Celille]

Forest AQ area 2 is the best place to find tainted fangulfs.

[Emp]

Needs to be 60+ if you're talking about the version with Lottie's PC though, so you need at least 12 risk.

What exactly is FUN? And what can I do with FUN?

[Scale of Judgment]

So no news on whether or not we are getting skill tree resets because of wand lovers buff?

It's January 15th and yes you are getting skill tree resets.


What exactly is FUN? And what can I do with FUN?
FUN is a system that allows you to purchase items or scratches for the account. This is often used to get Decorations for rooms, Myroom passes, Myshop passes, +1 protects for grinding, and some Lobby Actions, accessories.

This is for everyone and is free for all accounts versus the AC alternative that requires real money.

[Kiyumi]

Should I spend all FUN on scratches?

If there's something good in the FUN scratch but nothing in the FUN shop, sure. Though you can always buy them from other players.

Thanks for the help, but the names of each item on the menu is still in JP.

I'm walking away, barely got started, but this is annoying me. I have played EVERY Phantasy Star game except Gaiden on Game Gear... and the reason for that? Because it was never released in English. I was tempted to buy it for my GG three years ago, but decided against it. If this game is not released stateside, I guess I'll miss it.

Her's are pretty big. Clearly bigger than patty's, but at least she's taller... with back problems.

Either way, still hunting for that answer. I'm playing guess who with search phrases on google.

[solid_snark]

Stupid question: I've been farming for tainted fangulf with stupid Lottie for a couple of days now. Anyone have a good spot to find the tainted ones? I've been getting hundreds of fangulf in Explorer and Nab Rappy capture but only the Gulfs have ever been tainted. I know I did this at some point as I unlocked the quest to find a tainted Rockbear, but that was probably just in random MPAs long ago.

That quest has to be done in Forest Exploration ONLY, which blows, since the spawn rate there is pretty low. Took me about a week before it spawned for me.

how am I supposed to kill the "Persona"? Hes soo hard ;-;

[isCasted]

how am I supposed to kill the "Persona"? Hes soo hard ;-;

Ranged/Tech class: stay away and watch out for Sonic Arrows.
Melee class: use Guard a lot. When he stops attacking, spam overpowered PAs (Over End, Shunka Shunran, Bloody Sarabande and others) - hard hits can stun him. After you use PA it's safer to use Guard a lot again.

Okay I need to learn to be more patient. Im used to blocking 1/2/3 attack(s) every 10 seconds from some big slow obvious boss and then I got raped by this guy ):

[Ouranos]

how am I supposed to kill the "Persona"? Hes soo hard ;-;

You can kite Persona with range PAs from melee classes like Sonic Arrow (Sword), charge Deadly Archer (Double Saber) and Hatou Rindou (Katana). Just let him get near to you, if he's about to attack just dodge backwards until you get in a good distance to use these PAs. Locking on to him will make things a lot easier.

No need to block his attacks, unless you really really need to.

And yeah, watch out for his Sonic Arrows. A good way to avoid them is to jump and then dash sideways in midair.

[Evangelion X.XX]

^Also to add to what Ouranos said, it's important to take your time and don't attack him like a maniac since, more often than not, it'll only facilitate one's demise.

Like what Ouranos said, use the lock on feature so you can circle him/keep track of his movements easily; he's not hard... just take your time, breathe, and counter attack. If you're close enough he won't use the Dark-Sonic-Arrow but he'll swing his sword or try to step-dash-kick you and then he'll proceed to hop back. Use this opportunity to close in and PA him (but DO NOT use Over-End).

[ffodder]

Is there a special requirement to obtain MB15? I currently have MB 14 active and have all the yellow ones completed. I also have completed all the story quests as far as I know.

In the shop area I can see Xion and can interact with her but that's about it. So frustrating ...

Thanks

[gigawuts]

Over End is totally fine if you jump high enough so that it barely scrapes Persona's head. This has been my go-to tactic for a very long time, and has literally not even once failed me. You're above almost every one of his attacks, but he sure doesn't seem to realize it.

How to use JoytoKey with PSO2? I want to bind print screen to a button on my gamepad...

Do you mean "how do you get it to work without gameguard bitching"? I believe starting it before PSO2 or running it as administrator will work, but I've never had any problems with it even starting it while pso2 is running so I can't be sure.

[Ogni-XR21]

Haven't played in over a year. I love playing support force but found PSO2 to be a letdown in that regard (loved it in PSO and PSU). Did this get any better? Is there a more specific support job now (like Acrotecher in PSU)?

Well... Casters still aren't very good at supporting. While Techer/Techter/Tector certainly can gain benefits to healing and buffing, it's not really enough to pull of support as your main aspect, but I haven't played a casting class in a while...

Either way, there are currently seven classes, Hunter and Fighter for melee, Ranger and Gunner for ranged, Force and Techer for casting, and Braver for a fast-paced melee and slow, powerful ranged... XD

I see, so the only new class to me is Braver. So I'll probably not come back then...

But just in case, how much catching up is there to do? Last thing I remember is Ruins and the Dark Falz EQs (Arms and Falz), I quit around that time.

But just in case, how much catching up is there to do? Last thing I remember is Ruins and the Dark Falz EQs (Arms and Falz), I quit around that time.

So... We have a few new fields: Sanctum, or Dragon Altar, or the similar, is an area somewhere around the Floating Continent, where the "spirit of the Dragonkin" lives. Very few Darkers there.
There is also the Coast, unlocked at the same time as Desert, which is the first field of Episode II; it's a beach-like area where enemies change their patterns night-vs-day.
Next is the Quarry, or Abandoned Mining Field or something of the sort, an old site overrun by Mechs. The Lillipans run this place, but have been attacked by Darkers recently.
Finally is the Seabed, on the same planet as the Coast, it is somewhat of an underwater cavern. It is similar to the PSO2 Ruins in that it is more ancient than sci-fi, with rainbowy patterns everywhere.


There is also a new EQ, Mining Base Defense (commonly called Tower Defense or TD), in which you have to fight off an army of the Insect Darkers (weak to Fire), and protect 3 towers in an MPA. Not quite sure what it means yet, but Part 2 of this EQ is coming in Spring (I think it's kinda like a Dark Arms/Falz [Elder] kinda thing). Dark Falz [Apprentice] leads this assault, introducing a new boss, titled Dark Vibras/Biblas/I don't even know the correct translation... XD

Beyond that, not much else has changed, except new PAs and Techs for every weapon and element (9 PAs per weapon, 6 Techs per element). Bravers use Bullet Bows (charged for more power, but have high power stats) and Katanas (weaker, but fast-paced attacking).

And as per usual, new AC Scratch items and whatnot. There are also a huge number of 10* weapons (some of which now surpass the VERY FEW 11* weapons), as well as a "new age" of 10* units that make the old 10* units look terrible. There are currently four 12* weapons: Psycho Wand (Rod), Ely Sion (Sword), Orochi Agito (Katana), and Yasminkov 7000H (Rifle), if you're curious XD

[Ogni-XR21]

Thanks for the elaborate answer.

You can use them to enhance your best weapons/units. At Dudu/Monica you can add abilities by using those and transfering them to your equipment.
If it doesn't have any ability though, it is trash and should be sold to an NPC, or if it is a 10*, could be Excube'd or Photon Sphere'd.

[Evangelion X.XX]

Because of the Jan 15 update which includes a Weapons Customization System, you may or may not need those "trash" weapons in order to make other weapons (or even those "useless" weapons) stronger. I say this but I don't know if you'll be into customizing weapons and all of that jazz.

But as far as "rare items" go, yeah, most of them are "trash" even 10* weapons that are only good for Ex-Cubing (Caveat: some 10*'s might not be "trash" anymore because of the Customization System). But yeah, usually it's the case that iff it ain't a 10* sell it to the NPC, unless it's an All-Class Weapon that you may actually need to use depending on your level or playstyle.

Hello guys, I have a question regarding to Fighter's Brave Stance. Is it better to leave Brave Stance
at 5/10, or it's recommended to max it at 10/10?

If I remember correctly, a user by the name of HRith (hopefully spelled correctly) stating that Fighter's
DPS will decrease (when hitting on the wrong side) vs. maintaining stable damage at Lv.5 Brave Stance.

Can someone please clarify this information for me -- please?!

Melee main, 5/10 will be fine.
Range/Tech sub, 10/10 it

[milranduil]

95%+ of the time, you will be using Brave Stance. Both should be 10/10'd. Even doing this, you still have enough to 10/10 PP Slayer and 2 of the 3 Satk ups. There is nowhere else to put damage so...

[Raid_Hirsh]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am Fighter/Hunter, so I'm a melee main.

Nevertheless, here's the skill build that I'm pursuing (if it's decent):

http://ryuhiroshi.funpic.de/pso2/skillcalc.php?06dGbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIk0jeb IoqnGKsN6JiGA000007bsNGBIbGKmofGDIb0000ib000000lb0 00009b000000lb0000000IbfqAdxmxsXI2l20000

You can't max both Brave and Wise Stance and have 2 out of 3 SATK Up maxed out too; only 10/10 SATK Up and 5/10 SATK Up is feasible.

Unless I miscounted something?...

[milranduil]

You don't max wise stance... unless you WANT a maxed wise stance tree. The whole point of going PP slayer + maxed atk ups is for additional power during brave stance.

EDIT: I would use this build.
http://ryuhiroshi.funpic.de/pso2/skillcalc.php?06dGbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIk0jeb IoqnGXsA6JiGA000007bJIGBboqsmofGDIb0000ib000000lb0 00009b000000lb0000000IbfqAdxmxsXI2l20000
Also, if you want JR on HU tree, I'd advise 9/10 JA Up 1 or 2 and put a point in Partisan Gear. The extra range helps a lot if you want to take out more spread out spawns with Assault/Slide.

One final note, you could 9/10 Satk Up 1 or 2 if you want to put a point in Chase Adv for free 10% damage if you have SE gear e.g. poison dsaber on quartz/caters.

P.P.S.: This is all assuming you want just one all-purpose FI tree. If you want more, then you can have a maxed wise tree for whatever reason, full chase tree for w/e reason, etc.

[Saffran]

I really would not recommend investing SPs in stat ups.
If you're a melee person and not prone to change any time soon, chances are you're using a Mag that relies heavily on SAtk anyway.

Now for a question: is there any strategy to Lodoss? I'm hitting for weak damage, which is one thing, but no matter what I use as PA, I can't really do anything meaningful. The fight is way too long as a result, and he can one hit me any time. Right now I'm levelling Gu (playing as GuRa).

You're supposed to fish him up with that arrow thing when he's hovering over the area you're standing at and attack his head. As a GU/RA you should probably aim to break off the shell from his head on the first round of fishing, then TPS WB its jaw on the second fishing and zero distance Messiah it. He goes down really fast in that setup. (I can do about 9k per hit that way on a halfassed GU with Surukurai.)

[milranduil]

I really would not recommend investing SPs in stat ups.

What else are you going to put points in though? Chase is extremely situational and impractical beyond a couple points in it (matching how often it's useful). Wise stance is used <5% of the time, so leaving stance and its up at 5/10 is not impractical. What's left? Stat ups.

[Evangelion X.XX]

I need somebody to correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the case:

Let's say, for example, that one's a GU and wants to "farm" a Guld Milla from TD. I think it's the case that one's chances of getting it (or any other rare GU weapons) is higher if the MAIN class is Gunner as opposed to having it as a SUB class?

I also believe this applies to PA's: for example: if you want a Lv. 16 Shunkan Disc, your chances of getting it would be higher if your MAIN class is BR as opposed to having it as a SUB class.

Is this true? Or not true from your experiences?

[Ratazana]

As far as I know the class weapon thingy only applies to XQ.

[blace]

After rececntly running the Christmas EQ as a TE/FO I've had more drops for my associated class than other classes. However, playing the TD as a BR/HU I've gotten drops mostly for HU as opposed to BR and even a few RA.

It can increase the drop chance for your current main class, just don't dwell on it.

Mountains of virtual cookies to those who answer me :Dthere's 3 PA's for GS which are good/mediocre, 1st Additional bullet, very nice mobbing capability, 2nd is kreisenchlag, pretty nice AoE but mediocre, 3rd is Aiming Shot, nice single target damage but still mediocre.

Lawnchairs are Ra/Hu's territory, If you're Gu/Hu, you can touch it, but not reccomended to use it, anyways, Cluster Bullet, for one shot mobbing, Rodeo Drive for instant boss killing, that's it really.

Rifles are kinda Ra/Hu's territory as well, but viable on Gu/Ra as well. Homing Emmission is kinda your strongest PA. . . If you know how to use it.

Diffuse Shell for mobbing. . .

and Impact Slider for super efficient boss killing. . .

however, Diffuse Shell and Impact Slider MUST be at lvl 16 for it to be useful since that's where they get massive power spikes. Homing Emmission at lvl 16 is juat a 3% power boost compared to 15, don't bother getting it.

How reliable is Weak Stance for Ra/Br? When I play Ra/Hu I primarilly use Gunslash so I usually hit weak spots, but I am not sure if you can hit weak spots all the time with Rifle or Launcher.

(The reason why I am asking this is because I found out that as lv65 Ra/Hu I'll only have 699 R-ATK, while with Ra/Br it will be 700).

[milranduil]

Stick to RA/HU. When you use launcher (Cluster Bullet), aim slightly above the enemies, and the damage should proc on their weak point.

(The reason why I am asking this is because I found out that as lv65 Ra/Hu I'll only have 699 R-ATK, while with Ra/Br it will be 700).Ra has the Weak Hit skill so it compliments with the weak stance making it more effective. . . however reliability. . .

it will be good to those weak points which you can lock onto then WB+Banish+ Kamikaze/Master shot it. I reckon Ra/Hu only uses Lawnchair for mobbing for its one shotting capability then Rifles for most bosses via Homing Emission or Impact Slider. Lawnchair's Rodeo Drive is also a great boss killing tool when combined with WB. you'll just end up creating a boss killer rather than an all-rounder or mob killer thus, you're out of the mobbing job. then again, Ra/Hu are quite the boss killers as well because Exploiting the Homing Emission are pretty OP

HU grants more multipliers to both regular and weakpoint damage than Braver does, so it doesn't really make sense to go this class combination unless you go BR/RA (better bows).

[gigawuts]

Yup, RA/BR is one of those classes that really is beaten by BR/RA due to its desirable weapons (bow being the defining choice of going br/ra or ra/br).

Even then you're just playing an inferior br/hu with weak bullet.

Ra/hu is far better for its damage and it is highly unlikely you will be finding a weapon that requires 700 ratk in the immediate or even distant future.

Is there now a cool down on deleting characters or has it always been there? I am trying to delete the second character slot that was given by sega and it gives me a message about how it'll be deleted in 24 hours.

I made a third character so I'm wondering if me deleting the second character slot given by sega will turn the third character bought with AC into the given character slot?


Will I need to buy another character with AC in order to have three characters or after will I get my character slot still?

Yes. You can delete your character right now. But you have 24 hours to reverse your decision and get your character back. After 24 hours, the character is permenantly deleted, forever gone from this world.

[nanakatrin]

Yes. You can delete your character right now. But you have 24 hours to reverse your decision and get your character back. After 24 hours, the character is permenantly deleted, forever gone from this world.

So I can't get that character slot back even though it was the character slot given to me by sega? D:

[KazukiQZ]

^Yes you can, but 24 hours after you had decided to delete the character in that slot.

[Kamekur]

He's asking if he can make a 3rd character for free after he deletes the character he created with the free slot.

The answer is no: You only have 2 free character slots per account. When sega launched EP2, anyone no matter the number of characters they had could create another one. Once you delete any of them, if you already have 2+ characters, you'll have to pay for the 3rd one.

[KazukiQZ]

^I see. My bad then.

I'm having a hard time finding the answer to this, how do you make your character hold a certain expression without the cut-ins?

[Kondibon]

I'm having a hard time finding the answer to this, how do you make your character hold a certain expression without the cut-ins? putting nw after the cuting command will have no window. If you put s## then you can set how long it lasts. s20 for instance would make it last 20 seconds. I think the max is 30.

/ci1 1 nw s30 <--like that. I don't think the order of the nw and time matters though.

You're supposed to actually make a crafting request for another player.

Mine didn't actually go through successfully due to the My Room servers being overloaded, but I still got the stamp.

On your main tree, you still barely have any striking or teching multipliers, and on your subclass tree, the vast majority of your multipliers are going to be shooting with only like, at best, 20% for striking/teching.

The correct answer is "neither, there is literally no viability."

[KatsuraJun]

Were the skill reset passes already distributed? I don't think I got one.

No idea, spent all my fun on crafting decos that apparently are not necessary and didn't want to get an item that would, in the worse case scenario, rip my friend from their hard earned meseta since they are the only ones to step into my room (but now that I know crafting requests have to be made in the crafter room I see were the business may be, if that item is anything close to the PSU item)

Ok so how do I DL the English patch? Everytime I DL it it shows up as a single file. But I can't exstract it nor can I open it. So what am I doing wrong?

[Evangelion X.XX]

I have more of a comment than anything:

How do you guys feel about the new Chaotic BB EQ. I felt that it was really underwhelming: not enough boss spawns, enemies/bosses are way way too easy, the collect 1000 points system was annoying (should have made it to 2000 since 1000 was reached too fast).

I felt there wasn't enough boss spawns or a variety of boss spawns like the 1st C.B.B; kind of disappointing. I just felt like there wasn't enough "action" or "excitement".

I didn't even get to see "Persona" go up against a "Cateran'sa"...

But I suppose at the very least, it's an okay place to level up if one needs to.

[hypothermiac]

how does equipment extending work? is the increase in base atk reliant on crafting level?
how many times can you extend equipments?
the reason for asking this is because i am getting a vraolet gunslash for its potential, so i want to know how crafting works so i can decide between a 7* vraolet and a 9* dio vraolet.

[Saffran]

Hypothermiac > there's an entire thread dedicated to crafting, ask there for specifics.
Also, you will get a regular vraolet as part of the craft tutorial. You could maybe start leveling your crafting skills with the regular one then see if it's worth doing the dio too.

Curious to know, but what's the value of Ketos Proi versus a more offensive PB such as Illios Nifta nowadays?

[Emp]

Curious to know, but what's the value of Ketos Proi versus a more offensive PB such as Illios Nifta nowadays?

Everyone should have Ketos Proi so they can support the mpa with pp regen. Its very helpful for those other forces who need that pp regen to spam zondeel in burst after they have already used their Ketos Proi.

Offensive type PBs aren't bad. They are good but I just like how low their dmg output is, especially in SH. Their dmg was ok in VH but now the dmg is even worse in SH. Illios Nifta on the other hand, I have not yet tried but I can safely assume that it would be nice if you zondeel enemies into the vicinity of Illios Nifta's vortex radius.

Ah, so it's still fairly valuable then. That's a bit troublesome - I was kinda keen to try out Illios Nifta both for extra damage and aesthetics, so it'll be a somewhat difficult decision to make if Ketos Proi still has a use. Don't really want to waste 8 Excubes or raise a second mag for this character.

Do rare wands never have a hidden dex bonus being applied to their strike damage?

I've noticed that with a Windmill, while my damage variance on techs is almost non-existent, my striking damage has around 50% variance, which is kind of aggravating.

I hate to say this, but are you sure you just aren't noticing the difference between normal damage and weakpoint damage? Because normal damage is typically half of weakpoint damage (exception of like Oceanids and stuff cuz their weakpoints are dumb).

It should be a .RAR file, which you can open with 7zip or Winrar.

I was hitting enemies that only have a headshot weak point, so that can't be the issue.

Would be pretty pathetic if this is true of all wands, though I wouldn't be surprised.

[Evangelion X.XX]

I have Hu Te and Fo at 65, Gu & Ra at 1 and Br at 25... what do I level next? And with what weapon/PAs?

I would recommend either Gunner or Braver.

Both classes are just powerhouses (with Hunter Subbed, of course).

It depends on how you like to play though: do you like katanas/bows or T.M.'s.

For Gunner: Use the PA's: Infinite Fire (used for everything), Heel Stab (mobbing), Messiah Time (close-range for maxmimum damage).

For Braver: Use the PA's: Shunka-Shunran (overpowered-all-purpose-PA), Kanran-Kikkyo (mobbing), Hatou-Rindou (if you need to keep a safe distance between you and the target; nevertheless good damage but depends on the spacing between you and your target).

Note: players don't pick Braver.... they pick Shunka....

As for weapons go... just get the strongest ones provided that you can equip them, afford them, or able to find them (look them up from Cirnopedia or something).

Greetings ! ^^ I tried the Crafting System with a little Yasminkov 2000H. Worked great... So, I tried to grind it +10.

^Happened to me too. Apparently it always subtract 1 as grind penalty when failing. It always started around grind level 5 and above for me.
