[SonicTMP]

Can't seem to unlock Armored Bombardment (Sparguns) from Hans despite doing arrmored assault. I did all the darker related killings up to that point and even have tundra stuff to do. What am i missing?

[moeri]

I currently can't get on pso2 due to not having a computer capable of getting on it, but I iwll be able to next week.

So, I am wondering, what is the current price of the large twin ribbons(ship 2)?

[TaigaUC]

I went with the power recipe. With a good customization result, it's roughly a 20% damage increase.

So it makes NaBarta viable? Interesting.
Thanks.


So, I am wondering, what is the current price of the large twin ribbons(ship 2)?

White version is 1.9m. Down from around 3m, and originally 8m+
The version that adjusts to your costume color is 5.5m, down from 8m.

They will both likely drop more.

[Shinamori]

I'm fixing to format my PC in a few days. Does PSO2 needs to be reinstalled? Or can I simply move it to another Harddrive?

[KazukiQZ]

^The latter. Just copy + paste the PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 folder. If you want your game setting too, copy the SEGA folder in My Document, and paste it in the same place of your new formatted PC.

[UnLucky]

I went with the power recipe. With a good customization result, it's roughly a 20% damage increase.

Isn't it still worse than Rabarta?

Judging by the description on the swiki, it takes 2s to deal the full value of the Power notation (509 at lv16, 569-609 crafted) for 44 PP total.

Rabarta is normally 480 Power at lv16, or 550-583 crafted for 18 PP, accounting for 5 hits and 5PP/s regen with Charge Revival.

You can also get 8PP Gibarta (435-455 Power).

I suppose it's not bad for extended casting, since it'd only be 5PP/s at that point, but I don't think it would be very useful off a talis. I was going to say you miss out on bonus multipliers because it's uncharged, but with an ice tree you can't dip into both fire/lightning to get everything either way. Definitely a killer with Elysion, though.

[Inazuma]

So it makes NaBarta viable? Interesting.
Thanks.
The DPS is not as good as Sazan, even on enemies weak to Ice. Also it drains PP faster than Sazan. That said, it is pretty good when I want to move around to dodge some attacks. It lets me attack when it would otherwise be impossible.

I do have Elysion, so outside of freezing Vol Dragon's feet, there isn't really any reason to use Rabarta. Like I said above, Nabarta is a decent tech to use when you have to move around to dodge attacks. Sazan is great but it roots you in place, so Nabarta goes well with it to give you mobility.

Compared to a dedicated Force Sazan tree, adding on the skills for Nabarta will give you 10 less PP and 4% less damage, so your Sazan will still be quite good. If you can have both trees, I would recommend it.

[TaigaUC]

That said, it is pretty good when I want to move around to dodge some attacks. It lets me attack when it would otherwise be impossible.

So it's basically like being a Gunner.

I remember people talking about a buff trigger action on your mag being stackable - more of it would trigger more often. Since it works with Adrenaline on fighter that meant keeping the buff on almost permanently with enough of the same trigger action, when one wore off another would kick in and this would cycle repeatedly.

What trigger action was this? Buff K? Buff J? A, B, niner?

[TaigaUC]

I think it's K because a lot of JP people seem to fill their trigger action slots with K.
I have a bunch of Ks on my non-caster mags.

Not sure about the cycling thing though.
I just feed the mag and chances are the Shifta+Deband buff will activate.

Anyway, best double check with other people before you get K.

Your fodders could be:

Quartz Soul, Power III, ???, ???
Quartz Soul, Spirita III, ???, ???

With the affixing boost (if we get it at least, which we should), you can get 100% with a 30% booster.

An alternate method would be:

Quartz Soul, Power III, Spirita III, ???
Quartz Soul, Power III, Spirita III, ???

Which would only need a 10% booster with the affixing boost. Making these fodders would probably just be luck with these fodder fodders (can add an additional Power III or Spirita III for higher success rate of that affix):

Quartz Soul, ???, ???, ???
Quartz Soul, Power III, ???, ???
Quartz Soul, Spirita III, ???, ???

[ShinKai]

I think you'd get a slight damage increase on normal mobs, but you'd be dealing less on Darkers. Personally, potentialing it wouldn't be worth the price for me for the slight change.

Somehow I didn't realize power III and Spiritua III could transfer with just one. Well that makes the deed much easier to manage than wrapping my head around the alternate method. Might even be able to buy some of the fodders I'd need now. Much appreciated.

How do I make 4 slot fodders with:

Start with buying all the power I.x.x.x & spirita I.x.x.x that are available for cheap in shops > Mix all of them together 100% chance for powerI.spiritaI.x.x > Mix 3 for 80/80/100/100 at powerII.spiritaII.x.x > Mix 2 powerII.spiritaII.x.x plus a MutationI.x.x.x and use a 10% booster for III.III.x.x 70/70/100/100 chance.

After having several of those made you'll take chances at adding the soul > Use 2 quartz.x.x.x and the III fodders made and using a 10% the target fodder 60/70/70/100 chance.

You might be better off just checking for these from time to time in shops, specially this weekend with the AQ boost. 2M is a good price to buy these. If they go for double that, try to make them instead. gl

[Evangelion X.XX]

@Drifting Fable:

Yes.

You only need 1 Power III or 1 Spirita III to transfer it over to a target weapon/unit.

However, as you may know already, the probability of success is higher if you have 2 Power III or 2 Spirita III.

Note/Reminder 1: using 3 Power III or 3 Spirita III is not necessary for higher probability; you only need 2 (does not apply to some abilities like Souls for example, in which case it's better to have 3: one on target, one on fodder1, and one on fodder2).

Note/Reminder 2: Also, just in case you didin't know (or for whomever reading), whenever you want to affix something, ALWAYS decide before hand, how many abilities/slots do you want on the target weapon, and then proceed create that number of slots on it, if there aren't that many already, before you actually do any affixing. For example: Let's say I want to 4-slot a Twin Kamui but it only has 2 slots to begin with. Then the first thing I should do is get the Twin Kamui to 4-slots first with junk affixes (junk/junk/junk/junk) before I do any actual affixing. Once Twin Kamui is 4-slotted with junk affixes, I can start messing around with 4-slotted fodders and what not: buy the necessary materials from player's shop.

So when extending units, the HP and PP boosting effect only works once? And not additional HP and PP per level right?

No matter the extend lv, be it a great succes or not, sdef is 30hp/1pp, rdef is 20hp/2pp and tdef is 10hp/3pp. Great success only reduce stat requirement.

[Saffran]

the Amduscia EQ (espescially volcano) has a high rate of these, city EQ too.

[Rayden]

Does Elysion's potential affect uncharged Resta, Zanverse, or Megiverse at all?

[.Jack]

On another bingo goal it asks to complete a free field mission with Quna only. If you tag along with someone that has and brings her npc will that work to complete it?

It doesn't, according to a friend who claims to have tried it.

[Sandmind]

Does Elysion's potential affect uncharged Resta, Zanverse, or Megiverse at all?

Resta is only affected by base tatk, affixed tatk and TE's resta skill boost (and those few weapons with resta boost latent). Zanverse is only affected by wind mastery and wind latent. Megiverse is 20% all the time, be it charged or uncharged, nothing affect it so far.

[Ce'Nedra]

It doesn't, according to a friend who claims to have tried it.

That would suck. CO's always worked like that, you could clear 3 players worth of "S-rank quest X with NPC Y" like that. Does that mean they changed that too?

I meant to test out if you can just let someone else summon Quna for you for this but didn't attempt yet.

[DJcooltrainer]

This is more of a technical issue I've been having, but I've searched all over the internet for an answer with no luck.

I'm running PSO2 on my PC, and everything runs just fine in fullscreen. When I try and use windowed mode or virtual fullscreen, I have a strange issue where the screen flickers between the game and my desktop background, mostly when using the mouse to navigate menus. You can visibly see the window jump a few pixels in any random direction, then return to its original position on screen. This is quite annoying, and makes the game rather unplayable in windowed mode. I'm using a GTX 670 with the latest drivers, if it matters. Has anyone experienced an issue like this, or know what I might be able to do to fix it? So far I've tried re-installing PSO2, re-installing my GPU drivers, and running the game without any translation patches. Nothing seems to work.

[Sandmind]

Regarding the bingo card requiring doing a free field with Quna, you might wanna look at the fact it's actually to complete a client order from her. Cannot complete what you don't have... :-?

[TaigaUC]

If you have friends with Quna unlocked, you can have them summon her for you.

[Scarlet Black]

Hey PSO-World, I'm looking to get back to PSO2. I haven't played since around June. Briefly, what's changed?

[Saffran]

For the Quna free ruins explorations in VH or SH, my guess is that you need to have her partner card. After that, you (or anybody in the party) summons her from the campship and THEN you start the quest (and go on to clear it).

[Sandmind]

*erhm*

I didn't take the time to complete the 1st side yet and I was only going off this poster:

How do you complete this for Bingo:

[Client Order Clear]
Idol's Challenge

[Character]
Quna

I dunno, I assumed the requirement being "client order clear" was that you needed to do a CO handed out from Quna...

[Dragonpie852]

When using a 20% reduction to equip weps during crafting can you still normally add classes or even all class since it forces great success?

[Daiyousei]

I have not used any boosts or whatever for crafting yet, but I know for a fact that when I got reductions it didn't always meant more classes.

[gigawuts]

You can get reduction and multiple classes in one go, yes. They're two different kinds of great success, and will both be listed separately in the great success prompt if you get them.

[Dragonpie852]

alright thanks alot.

[Inazuma]

Zanverse is only affected by wind mastery and wind latent.

The wind latent affects it? Sometimes I use my Heretic Saw for Zanverse, so if what you are saying is true, then I should use Gren Duel Gaze instead.

[MoonlightMyau]

Hello,

Does anyone how or if, you can change your PSO2 username/name people know you as?

Also does anyone how to change the username here?

Thanks.

To be honest, I'm only repeating what a few peoples said on this forum concerning zanverse and the wind latent. Otherwise, testing damages on something like a fordoran or bigger should do the trick.

Pretty sure you cannot changes names ingame.

I checked a Jp wiki and it does mention that the wind latent works for boosting Zanverse damage. Guess that means I need to unlock the latent on my Gren Duel Gaze.

I can't push out nearly the same numbers with my crafted partisan as I can my twin kamuis. So what's the deal? Do I suck at partisan or something?

[red1228]

I can't push out nearly the same numbers with my crafted partisan as I can my twin kamuis. So what's the deal? Do I suck at partisan or something?

In my experience, Hunter weapons in general just cannot keep up (DPS-wise) with Twin Daggers or Katana.
Ride Slasher, Cruel Throw, OverEnd, Assault Buster, Trick Rave, PickUp Throw... none of them can even come close to what I can pump out with Symphonic Drive, Bloody Sarabande, Shunkan or even Sakura.

They way I've been seeing it since December (started playing in late September): is that Hunter has the better Skill Trees, Fighter has the better Weapons & Braver has the better... everything.

I have a few Hunter weapons, just to say that I have them... But 90% of the time, I find myself going back to Katana because I can kill things in 1/3 of the time it takes me to kill the same enemy with anything Hunter has to offer. The other 10% of the time is if I'm in an MPA (I'll use Sword then) or if the target in question is out of melee reach (Spear's Sacred Skewer PA).

[Freshellent]

I cannot HU either, Levia. I really tried, I end up using Wired Lances most of the time because I can reliably squeeze out damage but everything else just pisses me off.

I think it might be playstyle conflict- or maybe HU is more suited to be played defensively in the end. Let's not even talk about my gear or PAs lvls, which has a lot to do with it. Maybe the new weapons/PAs will fix that. I'm sure we have more difficulties coming too. There's going to be quite a bit to look forward to in the future imo.

Anyway- what's your Partizan pallet set up like? The PAs I mean. I'm curious.

[Zorafim]

Yeah, I thought that would be the problem. Since lv1, I noticed fighter had some great damage output. It was balanced by the fact that fighter couldn't AoE, though. Now with that shockwave dagger PA, that's no longer the case. It's nice to know that the problem isn't crafting, though.
Oh well, Levia's canon weapon type is twin daggers anyway.

I use that cool stabby PA for dashing on the first slot, Bandersnatch for DpS on the second and some style points, and Slide End for AoE on the third.

[Kikikiki]

As of now the only time where I use spear is in VH Lilipa TA. Mostly because it's just a ExLv3 Soul Reaper.

[Freshellent]

Surprised you didn't say Speed Rain x3.

I hear a lot of conflicting things about Partizans. Comparing anything it does to a FI is sort of silly in a lot of ways so maybe you should experiment a little more with something other than that. Just a hunch but that set up doesn't seem to be helping you much.

[Ratazana]

Ass buster and sacred screw are good if you can 1 shot stuff.

[RadiantLegend]

I gave up on HU when my Lv.3 (50%)Fire Gekits with Lv12 Assbuster couldn't one shot a fangalfur. Over end is useless and gets you killed, ride slasher does it feels like, sonic arrow still works but eats pp with outdated gear. While I dislike all these things I still love my swords and badly want a crusade lore.

[Kiyumi]

So reading some stuff on this page about hunters, its going along with how Im feeling in game. Im lvl 50 Hunter (43FI) and was using sword for trash clearing and Nishiki daggers for boss killing but Im now well past the level where Nishikis are effective so I have to ditch them. My only 10star weapon is a sword so I might as well use it. My team leader says "swords are only good for bosses" when up to now I thought swords were only good at clearing trash and useless for bosses.

Should I drop hunter for fighter to use daggers since thats where I feel comfortable? Or should I force myself to learn sword just because thats the best weapon I own, when apparently it sucks anyway?

[Freshellent]

Well, don't take what's said just here to heart about HUs. There's plenty of players that make it work, but to what degree is another thing altogether.

It's about what makes you comfortable in this game. Some people love chewing through mobs endlessly, some like it when they last a few seconds so they can look cool.

That said, with the right gear a HU can still explode stuff on the map no sweat, just takes the PAs and the gear to back it up. But yeah, if you are more comfortable with daggers? Do it to it then.

[red1228]

... Should I drop hunter for fighter to use daggers since thats where I feel comfortable? Or should I force myself to learn sword just because thats the best weapon I own, when apparently it sucks anyway?

Play with what you're comfortable with. If you like Daggers, use them. If you like Sword ( I do, thats why I keep one on me at all times, despite being inferior ), use them.

Plus, with the new Crafting system: The only thing your 10* sword might have over your 8* Nishiki is possibly the Potential Ability & slightly more consistent damage variation. Also, you can sell a 10* in the player shops, even after equipping it. You can't do that with an 8*.

[Kiyumi]

Well I mean, I felt like I was killing bosses faster with daggers that had 200+ less Satk then my sword, which was kind of sad. Clearly not all weapons can be equal and I was feeling that. Partizans and WLances in particular feel so weak vs bosses.

Hmm, Ill see if I can craft some daggers. Which ones are best to extend? Nishikis? Or should I get the daggers from the Rare stone shop? Thats where I got the sword from.

[Kikikiki]

I still can't get over how sexy Momijihime looks. Too bad I will never be able to touch it.

Hmm, Ill see if I can craft some daggers. Which ones are best to extend? Nishikis? Or should I get the daggers from the Rare stone shop? Thats where I got the sword from.

Unfortunately, this has been a sort of unwritten rule of action RPGs.
Prime example would be the Star Ocean games: Why spend 3 seconds performing an attack that can inflict 99,999 damage... when you can perform a "combo attack" that does four hits of 42,000 damage in that same 3-second time frame?

SpellCasters & "big" weapons are usually like this in the early ~ mid game. But by the end-game, your character's own base stats & the number of hits you can inflict (in as little time as possible) start having much more importance. Sure I can slowly hit an enemy with an attack rating of 1900 (1000 from the sword + 900 from my character's base stat) & feel impressive. But in terms of DPS, it can't keep up with that same enemy being hit multiple times with an attack rating of 1500 (600 from say, a Dagger + 900 from my character)

tl;dr

In the end, speed (or number of hits) always wins against BEEG NUMBARz, in terms of efficiency.
However, if you're looking to have fun (this IS a game afterall); Play with what you enjoy the most & ignore people trying to tell YOU how to play YOUR game.

[MetalDude]

Ride Slasher 16 ends up being a better mobbing PA for me than Ass Buster does given its consistency to 2-hit a good chunk of SH mobs. When it comes to boss killing though, HU feels incredibly clunky. FI and BR are both simply far superior bossers.

[Freshellent]

Oh, Wired Lances are fine on bosses, trust me hahahhaha. Just have to find the right PAs, very situational. Hit a weak spot with Heavenly Fall and -kaboom-

[IndigoNovember]

Holding Current does well if you have an opening (not most bosses sadly).

Going to have to agree, Wired lances have really stepped up with their damage. Especially with that Hokuto no Wired Lance one that I just can't recall for the life of me because I still just use a multiclass Katana when I go HU. Partizans.... oh have the mighty have fallen. How I miss the days of Daggas and Majarra. I pretty much forget that weapons existence in PSO2 unfortunately.

[Zorafim]

I'd like to point out that if you level fighter, you should probably sub hunter anyway. So, level them both.
Maybe craft an all class whatever while you do, though.

[ThaiSoup]

That's a very good point. The only reason I even level hunter is because its my primary sub class. Which really, it's the bread and butter subclass for most.

[Freshellent]

Fuck Majarra yo, it was about that new one, Dus Skaad! Robado I think for AoE with Genki- because of the range.

And yes Holding Current for Wired Lances is like playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 all over again.

Hmm, maybe I should do a dedicated video library of PAs and Techs like the good ole' days. Demonstrate examples and such. Would need some assistance though.

Head parts are technically a hairstyle, so you can combine them

Rescue gives you water pistols. pchoo

[Saffran]

Well, lots of rare monsters (compared to usual), quite a few boss spawns (small fry like Volgada or Gwanada, ocasional Zeshreida) and as you said, guaranteed 40k exp from the fire emergencies alone (and quite a bit more if it's a red code).

And although you can't really count on it, I've met Tagami in there once. He's worth 150k alone.

Lots of people now days avoid B20. Try looking around in Blocks 10-19 would be the best but I would advice against talking in public there since Japanese are still around. This applies to Ship 2 only of course. No clue on popularity on other ships but 10 also has a share of them.

That's because of Gameguard trying to hide/protect the process.

Does PSO2 not fully close after a few minutes? That's how long it usually takes me.

You could open task manager, quickly click "show processes from all users" and then for a couple seconds, you'll see PSO2 exe and game mon processes. End any of these before they disappear and pso2 will be completely closed.

Target unit: Quartz/x/x

Fooder x 2: Quartz/power3/spirita3
(alternatively, if getting/making those fooder is too much, getting spirita boost is an option, depending on current pricing, to replace spirita3)

Transfer rate of affix by number in pool:
any soul (1 = 0%) / (2 = 50%) / (3 = 80%)
any stat3 (1 = 60%) / (2 = 80%) / (3 = 100%)

When combining all those, simply add a +20% affix booster, thus making it 100% on everything.

Does the element part of Wand Gear apply debuffs?
For example, if I have wand gear and a wand with ice element, will the element hits from my wand strikes freeze?

Freeze keep doesn't affect weapon freeze affixes, right?

Edit: I did some testing and research.
Wand gear element burst effect does not apply debuffs.
According to the JP PSO2 swiki, freeze keep does not affect wand strikes (assumedly with debuff affixes).

[SecretAether]

OK I'm kinda of a noob and I have questions.

1. Are there weapons that can cast spells that are not staffs?

2. Are there human enemies in this game?

3. Where do you buy normal clothes? (Beach wear and stuff)

:-D:-D *Bonus questions!* :-D:-D

4. Where do you buy event items?

5. What's the fastest way to make money as a noob and higher level player?

6. Is it possible to give your other character items from your primary character?

thank you if you answer these questions and remember I'm a noob.

:-P:-P:-P^^ Super bonus question ^^:-P:-P

When does the Oni thing event ends? and what are the available items?

[jooozek]

1. you can cast from any weapon by using the hotbar but only if your class/subclass can cast (i.e. only force or techer)
2. only bosses
3. player shops, everything comes from real life currency scratch
4. what event items?
5. tacos
6. through storage
7. you can check ingame by checking when the scratch expires (all the oni stuff comes from real life currency scratch)

[SecretAether]

Your answer to #5 is funny but is it true? and what is scratch?

[jooozek]

tacos = time attack client orders from the NPC Klotho
scratch is PSO2's system of getting money from people, you pay either 200 yen or 500 yen worth currency for a random item
there is also a poor man's version that uses a currency gained from daily logins and some other sources called FUN but it doesn't have clothes, it does have accessories though

[Pugas87]

There are clones of arks (actual players) that appear as enemies. You must be abducted during TACOS and complete Darker Den to be cloned.

Buy webmoney, then convert that into AC, then buy 30/60/or 90 days premium. You can craft techs to make them stronger. If you dont wanna use rods, talises, or wands, you use all class weps such as vibras weps and cast off your sub pallete.

[Randomness]

How does the Banishing Arrow PA work, exactly?

[PokeminMaster]

After placing Banish Arrow on an enemy it will remain for 3 seconds uncharged (10 charged), and any attacks YOU (nobody else) hit it with using a Bow will rack up a hidden counter. After it detonates (The time is shortened every time you hit it), it will deal all the damage it received a second time.

So I usually shoot it fully charged then use three uncharged Kamikaze Arrows. The three Kamikaze Arrows together would add, say 50k (dunno the actual number). When the thing detonates, it would deal a second 50k

[Starrz]

I'm completely new to PSO2.

Is there something I'm missing where higher rarity weapons are much weaker than some lower ones?

From the cirnopedia, I can see they grind slightly better sometimes, but are there any other reasons why I wouldn't just use a 3star over say a 7star?

Does it also count tech hits with a bow equipped? E.g. if I fire a charge banish arrow, and then release a namegid, will it double that?

[PokeminMaster]

Well, the way the "basic" weapons (1*-6*) drop, you're more likely to find a 7* weapon before you can even obtain a 3* or 6*. It's a matter of what difficulties and fields the weapons drop on... 6* weapons are generally amazing, better than a lot of 9* weapons, but if I remember correctly, very rarely drop on VH or SH, but drop like crazy on Extreme Quests (level 50+)

[PokeminMaster]

Does it also count tech hits with a bow equipped? E.g. if I fire a charge banish arrow, and then release a namegid, will it double that?

From my knowledge, it does... I don't exactly remember testing it, but I believe it did. It doesn't directly double damage, but since it deals all the damage a second time, that's basically what it does.

[Blimpz]

After placing Banish Arrow on an enemy it will remain for 3 seconds uncharged (10 charged), and any attacks YOU (nobody else) hit it with using a Bow will rack up a hidden counter. After it detonates (The time is shortened every time you hit it), it will deal all the damage it received a second time.

So I usually shoot it fully charged then use three uncharged Kamikaze Arrows. The three Kamikaze Arrows together would add, say 50k (dunno the actual number). When the thing detonates, it would deal a second 50k

Partially correct. It lasts 10 seconds when you haven't dealt a hit. After the first hit, it will explode after 5 seconds dealing damage based on the damage you did during those 5 seconds. It does not shorten after every hit.

I recommend doing a JA'd BA > charged KA > uncharged KAx2 instead.

[gigawuts]

I'm completely new to PSO2.

Is there something I'm missing where higher rarity weapons are much weaker than some lower ones?

From the cirnopedia, I can see they grind slightly better sometimes, but are there any other reasons why I wouldn't just use a 3star over say a 7star?

Starrz, welcome man.

Star rarity is now just an indicator of grind difficulty and grind bonus, basically. What's more indicative of item quality is the difficulty you find it in. Normal mode items can be 9*, but weaker than 3*s in very hard. Very hard 10*s can be weaker than super hard 9*s.

To cover a few other things you may not know yet:

The grinding bonus is a multiplier to a weapon's base stat - 1-3*s get 1.5x, 4-6*s get 1.6x, 7-9*s get 1.75x, 10*s get 1.9x, 11*s get 1.95x, and 12*s get 2x.

Element doesn't work like it did in PSU. Your weapon's element is a bonus to your weapon's ratk and satk (techs are not affected by this) similar to grinding is. The weapon's base atk has no element - only the bonus portion does. The elemental portion DOES get element bonus damage if a target is weak to it (or penalty if it has a resistance - which is fairly rare).
For example:
A 30% fire sword with 1000 satk has 1000 non-elemental satk and 300 fire satk. If an enemy has a 20% fire weakness that becomes 1000 non-elemental satk and 360 fire satk.
This means that a 30 fire weapon will do more damage to everything than the same weapon type with 20 ice, even against enemies weak to ice.

Oh, and your weapons don't break when grinding, but that doesn't make failing from 9 to 7 to 6 to 5 to 3 to 2 to 1 to 0 any less infuriating.

From the cirnopedia, I can see they grind slightly better sometimes, but are there any other reasons why I wouldn't just use a 3star over say a 7star?Damage variance and attribute.

Aside from a while ago where there was a bug, any rare weapon (7*+ is guaranteed to have an attribute on it. This adds an extra ~20-50% of the weapon's attack as extra elemental attack. Not too much of a difference, since 6* and below can still have an element, so you could have a 50 element 6* to compare to a 50 element rare. Also, this only matters for striking and ranged weapons - techs aren't affected by attribute.

The big difference is damage variance. With 1-6* weapons, there is a calculation for minimum damage that calculates like it does for maximum damage, but removes your weapon's attack and adds back up to 90% of your weapon's attack using the difference between your DEX and your opponent's DEX. A rare weapon, on the other hand, will automatically have the cap of 90% of the weapon's attack being used for calculating minimum damage, regardless of DEX. It's roughly the same difference in average damage as gaining an extra 200+ attack for free in endgame comparisons.

Unless you have similar attribute levels on your weapons, and the non-rare has significantly more attack, it's usually better to use a rare weapon over a non-rare weapon.

Should also note that rare weapons also lose this bonus if they're crafted, so keep that in mind.

I have noticed lately while PSO2 is running I can't do searches in Chrome, I get a black page. I can search fine in other browsers, and once I close PSO2. It's not a big deal, just odd. Anyone else have this happen?

[Zorafim]

PSO2 screws with chrome. There's an option in the tweaker to launch a PSO2 compatible version of chrome. So, do that.

[Dragonpie852]

Im curious if anyone knows about if our characters grow slightly while we play them because my friend who made a new character 2 weeks ago noticed his character has grown 4cm and he showed me saved versions with same outfit in the salon. I checked one of my characters I made during ep2 release and my bust size has increased significantly from now and then. He has never bought ac and I have never used ac to change my character. Any ideas?

[Walkure]

Can you post the screenshots?

I haven't noticed such a thing, but both of my characters are at the height cap. My best explanation is that your friend took a screenshot mid-character creation, and made minor adjustments between that screenshot and finalizing the character.

Some costumes just do weird adjustments sometimes. I don't think there's a permanent change with any of them.

The closest thing I've seen that changes your salon preferences by switching costumes is cast's running animation; if you switch to a fleshie costume you'll be set to running manually even after you change back to robot costume.

[Dragonpie852]

Heres the screenshots the first 2 are my character and the second screenshots are my friends also showing hes never bought ac

[GoldenFalcon]

Outfits "add" height to your character, which can also "add" bust size

Making your character take off their outfit in the customizer shows their real height

[WildarmsRE5]

those pictures are showing they have the same outfits with different heights.

How do you successfully do the Emergency trial skip on Floating Islands TA?

The one that involves using Kamikaze arrow? I tried it multiple times and i bounced off an invisible barrier lol i tried waiting but the invisible barrier was still there.

I dont think you can skip it when you're solo party. If you are with someone, then you have that person drop down in the trial and then you kamikaze over the gap while they fight all the baddies.

[Z-0]

Barrier drops after 15 seconds (unless they extended the time). However, if you use Trick Rave to jump (PA -> Guard -> PA -> Step), there is no barrier.

You can do it solo.

How come I cant skip the barrier with srolling (as GU)? I always seem to get caught by it when I solo.

[KazukiQZ]

For Bow Braver:
1. Kamikaze Arrow to the platform.
2. Quickly switch into 3rd person shooter mode.
3. Charge another Kamikaze Arrow, head toward the ground level, and wait until the EC timer says 4 minutes and 44 seconds (4:44)
4. Release, and done.

Can be done at the 1st platform too ( the one after the kartargot and el ahda fight). After that, just fight the Darkers spawn ahead.
edit: There are many ways Gunners can do the similar thing as Bow Bravers. For me, it's Bullet Squall > S-Roll > S-Roll > Bullet Squall, and so on until 4:44.

[Kiyumi]

Are there any TA guides in English showing all the shortcuts?

[KazukiQZ]

http://ohpso2.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Attacks
Kinda outdated, but should give you the info you need at most part.
The only difference I see is the lack of new shortcut for Lilipa and Amduscia.

Lilipa:
1. After destroying the 2nd dome/ killing all the machines there (C-4), 1-2 players go to the north (red trap area) and activate the Gilnas trap, kill the spawned enemies while hitting the switch there. After that, wait there.
2. The other 2 (or just one) go to south (C-5) and proceed to clear some mobs there until the red wall is gone. Then, ignore the rest of the mobs (and the spam switch) and head straight to the blue wall just ahead. Just touch the wall to make the white wall that's blocking your 2 members in north side (where they fight Gilnas)
3. All of the members go back and use the same north route.

Amduscia:
1. Similar thing as the guide, but if you have Gunner or Braver is your party, they might want to do the platform skip shortcut. Sometimes others can do the trick with other types of weapons/skills too, I hope to see all of them xD
2. See above for the trick to do it.

[Gardios]

Is the barrier in the TA different from the barrier in normal quests? I have no problem skipping those with all-class TMGs using SR > SR > attack > repeat.

[Rayden]

You can do exactly what Gardios said in the TA. There's no need to have a Gunner, Braver, or Hunter, or use any PAs. Just an all-class TMG is enough.

[Neith]

Might be a stupid question but I don't understand this:

I have an Amaterasu with 1040 T-ATK and a Haze Evol with 877 T-ATK at the moment. I use the Haze set which apparently gives a +120 T-ATK bonus.

Why is it that I do more tech damage with Amaterasu (which is to be expected), but whenever I use Resta I heal by more with Haze Evol (without Shifta, 280 per tick with Amaterasu instead of 300 with Haze Evol).

Just confused as to why a weaker rod (even with set boost) is healing by more than a stronger rod.

Resta is your base stats, skilltrees, etc. and your affixes. Weapon tatk isn't counted, so your amaterasu probably has less tatk on its affixes,

[Neith]

Honestly can't remember the exact affixes at the moment, but looking at the grind charts on Cirnopedia it looks like both my Haze Evol and Amaterasu have an extra 30 (a +10 Amaterasu is 1010, mine has 1040. A +8 Haze Evol is 847, mine is 877). Do set boosts play any part in Resta's calculation? I do use the Haze unit set as well so not sure if that is making a difference to the amount healed (as set boost would be another +120 T-ATK, whether this counts towards Resta or not though I don't know).

Thanks for clarifying how Resta works though, I'd always assumed it was T-ATK based.

So, how do I use these craft boosters like "装備条件緩和＋１０％"? I can't seem to add them when I'm about to craft..

[ZombieFighter9000]

What's the best element to go with these days? I can now max out the element of my Niren Kamui, Elysion, and Guld Milla, but I don't know which element to pick... Any suggestions for these particular weapons? I'm struggling to decide between fire, light, and electricity.

If you're only trying technic customizing, then that's the issue

If I'm not mistaking it, that forces a 10% requirement reduction when extending a weapon

Alright... so, there was a discussion about the pros/cons of crafting going on and Dexterity was brought into it. During this time, it was said that Dexterity increased your Critical chance.... I was pretty much ready to dismiss it as false information immediately as I've never heard of Critical chance being tied to Dexterity. I don't believe for a second that it does boost your crit chance, but before I decide that this is untrue, I just want to verify this with other people so I can be certain that I do have my facts straight. I've found mentions of it here and there(no guarantee these people knew what they were talking about), but almost everywhere else has no mention of it.

[Kikikiki]

I have around 600+ DEX with a pure DEX mag and I don't feel like I crit that much. I'm not sure if I can blame RNG for that but DEX affecting crit chance just sounds like shit.

DEX does not affect critical rate. It does, however, increase your minimum damage, which narrows your damage variance and brings up your average damage. Critical hits always deal the maximum damage in your damage range, and so they bypass DEX completely. The more DEX you have, the less important criticals become. So, DEX and critical chance kind of achieve a similar result, but in completely separate and different ways.

[Gourd]

Any idea if they're either planning to expand the block size or ban the 4Chan lobbyfags/AFKers?
It's annoying when a big emergency quest pops up, it's almost impossible to join because of 70% of the blocks being full (on top of allll the other restrictions that parties usually have). And there's almost never a party of decent size or levels on the current block I'm on.

It's especially a problem with the tower defense.

Don't have enough friends who are my level to play the VH EQ's either.

[Randomness]

Is there something I'm missing with Fudou-kuchinasi? It's nice that it stuns stuff, but 40 PP for so little power is a bit steep.

[KazukiQZ]

@Gourd
Because you're on VH level, it's harder to find people to play with than SH(and blocks that organize VH parties). VH quests nowadays consist of players ranging from level 40-49 mostly, because level 50 players know that they have better chance to do EQ on SH. In addition, they can also team up with the end-level players (lv60-65) if they do SH EQ.
Best you can do is to camp at B06-09 for VH quests.

Kinda sad that AFKers take over a block, but there's nothing that can be done :/

@Randomness
iirc, yes it only do AoE stun and garbage damage for 40pp....silly PA xD

Only use I can see for it is against enemies you can't knock down. Otherwise just use Kanran.

[Kamekur]

Only use I can see for it is to set your Friend Partner to spam it.

Are there drop rates (or hints of) that are posted anywhere? Maybe not an exhaustive list, but at least something that can give you an idea whether it's worth hunting or not

If you hate slaving your life away in TAs to buy an awesome wep or unit set, then its worth hunting. You're good 10* weps/units are a good few mil at least, and you gotta if you lack the finances for premium and 10* tickets.

Level 16 discs and materials for crafting, not so much. 90% of the time, you'll find the lvl 16 disc you want without even trying.
