So Im trying to use blackstacks for pso2es so I can buy AC and it is extremely slow. Like the screen freezes and Im just unable to login. Is bluestacks just slow or is it my computer you think? Or is there another way to buy AC? Thanks.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Upgraded version have slight better version with PP automatic recovery amount 10% , PP recovery amount at attack 30%.

Hmm that seems lackluster compared to other stuff thats out

Bluestacks isn't that great, I had problems with it too. Try https://www.bignox.com/ I have better experience with it.

Whoa, there's another Android emulator out there? Bluestacks has been treating me awfully aswell, so I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you so much!

i need to grind the quartz weapon to +40 to be able to get it +35 when exchanged ?
i think i saw someone say it can just be +5 and the max grind will be +35 when converted is this how it works?

Anyone know which Timed Ability works in Ep 1-4 Magatsu arena?

I'm trying to buy AC now on PSO2es and I've tried google wallet and paypal and it says can't complete transaction. I've tried both my credit and debit cards. Is it because its an international payment?

No it isn't because international payment. I've used es to buy AC for probably two years now with no issues.

If you are trading in an OT Tokyo weapon, then it will always be +x/35 (with x being the equivalent NT grind level to whatever the OT was). Obviously, you want to make sure the OT is at 60% element first to save Fuses (unless you don't intend to use it), but otherwise it is the easiest way to get a +35/35 weapon for lv80 unlock or Expert requirements.

Harkotan Timed Ability; the area technically counts as Shironia, but it isn't a Free Field or ARKS Quest, so only the general planet one would work.

[Tymek]

Will an Earth Series weapon be at +35 with 60 element if you exchange a +40 OT with 60 element?

ok what is with deus lol... I am at 109 fuses already but still stuff is going very slowly lol...

Wish I could make this go faster.....

You also can get Qliphad Fuses from the Ep.4 and Ep.1~4 LQs on XH, but keep in mind that they are not a guaranteed drop, and you may only get one every few runs.

[TakemiShinnosuke]

Ok what gives with these fuses.. no matter how many times I play deus ... I can never can more than 5.

I know that one zenesis defense gives a 5 Qliphad ...

Is this a stupid delay tactic or what... I am sick and tired already.. can't they do something and give what we need... -_- idiots

and the previous response would be that the LQ's may not guarantee a drop and must be on XH .. the fuck is this

[IchijinKali]

Could someone with experience take the time to help me with any Information you may have on Mod farming via time attacks? It seems like there are many things to remember/certain rules that will help you increase the chances of getting kidnapped. I know basically nothing about It so any Information on how to Increase the chances are wanted as I basically only know to spam that one short TA and after killing the clones It's best to let yourself die but I'm not sure If you just continue as normal after that?

Main rule: Keep the party the same, not sure if this applies to soloing with NPCs. But when mod farming with other players changing your party's makeup, such as players leaving or someone new joining in, will basically start a new counter for that party's makeup.

Getting kidnapped is all RNG based but having multiple counts on the party increases the chances of getting kidnapped. You gain counts from completing TA runs. The count is reset after you get kidnapped AND successfully escape. Which is why it is downright encouraged that after you kill the clones and loot them you let Elder kill you and then return to campship. You will keep your count so you can HOPEFULLY get kidnapped right away again.

After that you just continue doing TA runs and hope you get kidnapped again. Again it is all RNG based I've done mod farming for close to two hours with a full party and we had only gotten kidnapped probably 3 times TOTAL.

Anduril already answered your question with another method besides just EQs please keep ranting about RNG drop rates to their respective threads and not this one.

That's cause you can only get up to 5 per run...

Ok, going to be leveling a tech-using class to 75 for the Hero unlock. Any thoughts on which I should use? I have that rod or whatever that was being given out for the Lumina / Laia missions that could be upgraded to +35, but at the same time breaking the level cap isn't a super-huge concern for me right now since I can always do that later on down the line.

Any thoughts? All I know of the two tech classes are that they use different weapons - no idea if one specializes in something else that the other one isn't as good at or what. Thanks.


Edit: And I'm not planning on using Summoner - not a fan of Pokemon or whatever, which that class reeks of to me.

If you happen to already have a Hunter sub, you could go Te/Hu. It is mostly just Wand melee and support Techs, and you can use a Striking mag with it. You also only need a single Wand, since you can use L/Wand E Change to switch elements, and Quotz/Glycina Cane would be a decent quick choice for a Wand since its potential gives a 10% Damage boost at 30%PP and higher (and also a PP regeneration increase for when you do use Techs), and Te/Hu mainly relies on normal attacks.

Hmm... something to consider in the future, but right now I'm planning on using a completely different character because I'm an altaholic and stupid and make things harder on myself than they need to be. Plus, the character I've been using has both Ranger and Hunter to 75, but only has a ranged mag which I doubt will work out too well for a Techer.

I take it then that Techer is more of a support class and Force is the actual "I'll blow you up" class? May go Force in that case. Thanks.

[Anduril]

Yeah, pretty much (though Techer is pretty good at mobbing thanks to Zondeel and Wand Explosions), but keep in mind that Force does require a full rainbow set to take full advantage of Elemental Conversion (you get a large damage boost for using Techs that match the element of your weapon [30% for a 60% weapon], and a smaller bonus for using non-matching [15% for a 60% weapon]). Unless you somehow get an Eternal Psycho Drive, which will give you a 45% damage boost no matter what Tech you use.

I'm fine with trying to work towards a rainbow set - it's how I plan every class anyway. Hell, my current main of a Ra/Hu has three rifles and three launchers of varying elements to make sure I have everything covered in one palette. Only one 13* but everything else is 12* with +35, with the exception of a wind rifle and an ice launcher that I'm working towards building up to 13* +35s once I get the remaining copies needed.

Already took a gander at the skill trees and posted it in the Force discussion thread in the Guide section, though I likely screwed it up by not taking pretty much any PP boosters or PP restoring things beyond improving regen rate and allowing restoration while charging.

Can't be much of a myth if around 37 people have found a 14* in the short time Yamato Rematch has existed.

From what I heard, Lavis Cannon is deceptively potent. That T-ATK shockwave does enormous damage, and the attack speed increase is high enough that you can toss out a shockwave every second. However, it doesn't synergize well with TE/HU.

[Rayden]

How would it not synergize well with Te/Hu?

[Altiea]

How would it not synergize well with Te/Hu?

I mean, comparatively speaking. The S-ATK on the Wand is very low, sitting at 999, and TE/HU is more geared toward S-ATK, whereas Lavis Cannon's shockwaves scales off T-ATK.

[Tymek]

Any ways to get Kagaseo stones outside of Hans' orders and the Tokyo keys? I still need 1 more Seiga Sword so I can get my element to 60 and upgrade to a Sekaiser, but I still need around 70 Kagaseo stones...

I'm tempted to say they might be a rare drop from XH Tokyo missions, but I could be wrong.

i think he meant multipliers form Fury Stance, JA bonus, since its pure wand whacking weapon Hu is perfect for this wand, tech explosion also striking type damage, and if i understand swiki right shockwave damage type striking or shooting, and scales from S attack.

Does anyone know exactly what you have to do to unlock the Episodes 1-4 limited mission? Took one of my barely-out-of-the-first-mission characters through to the point that the featured quests were available and while she can access 1, 2, 3, and 4, 1-4 is missing even after clearing all of those and turning in the COs for them.

Only thing I can think of is needing to unlock every area in the game up to that point, which I'm slowly working on while hustling through the various level cap unlocks and the like. Fun fact - with the right build and the right mag, you can equip something like a 13* weapon at level 30. Got that rod from the recent(ish) Laia / Lumia crossover and I'm pretty much one-shotting everything with my regular "rod shoot" attacks.

Hooray being a mage who beats shit to death instead of using magic!

Would be a better idea to link the full body shot (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFgWCXWVYAA5yCp.jpg:large) next time. Either way it is part of the character's basewear, デニムスカート[Ba]. Easy to tell because of how flush the necklace is with the character's body nothing can get that close without clipping issues.

Clear all 4 with S-rank, you can do this on any difficulty.

Ah, that might be it. I hopped into Episode 1 with two other people who were in another party, and I think that one was only an A-rank at the end since the time it took for me to grab a drink and run down, they were already cleared with the first area.

My guess? Specialized units. Lots of shit with a single stat on it. But that's just a guess from someone who can't read the market for shit. I just kinda throw up whatever junk I find in the field for a price I think is appropriate given other stuff being sold.

what's with the bugged tweaker update? there was something wrong with the official launcher as well...

well, whatever has happened, I lost most of my game files. I wasn't even able to access/download the game via the PSO2 launcher, but i found a workaround by simply doing a tweaker scan for missing files and then it started re-downloading the courrupted game files

Unsurprising to say the least. Oh well that warning about how things might go to shit when Episode 5's patch comes wasn't there for nothing.

I stopped playing around the time that Yamato came out last year. What's the fastest/most reliable way to get 12 star units? They're good for FI but there doesn't seem to be a way of getting them that isn't just a grind. I tried Episode 1 of the new LQ for a while but never saw a single one drop even with all the boosts.

There are only a few 12* units that you can get outside of random drops:

Whitill Set: Title Rewards for getting 800(Arm), 900(Leg), and 1000(Rear) Titles
Rear/Shine Red/Blue: 3300 Battle Coins
Leg/Elmre Theta and Rear/Segua Lithia: 50 2017 Weapon Badges
Arm/Gix Khudu: Title reward for S-Ranking Ultimate Amduscia (complete under 7 minutes).

[Tetsuo9999]

Are any of those good? I could probably get help with the Gix one, and I have the weapon badge ones already. I just didn't want to fuse rings into bad pieces without knowing first.

Honestly, compared to a lot of the bonuses you get from other 12* Units, not really. They are okay-ish if you really are desperate for extra Rings, but you might get more out of getting an Austere Rear and Arm and using only 2 L Rings.

[Tetsuo9999]

They're all tied to RNG and I just wanted something I could use to fuse the TD Air Chase ring. I guess I'll shoot for the Gix one since I only have about 230 titles and no idea on how to get over 700 more quickly.

[Kondibon]

They're all tied to RNG and I just wanted something I could use to fuse the TD Air Chase ring. I recommend not putting weapon specific rings on units if you can help it. It's easier to change rings when you change weapons, than to get a whole extra unit for that.

[Tetsuo9999]

I play on controller so it's a pain, especially for FI where the Kamaitachi ring needs to be on all the time. I'd rather fuse the ring into something to prevent all the macros and switching that's not easy with my preferred control method.

[Ether]

Yeah, I agree with this. 12* units on fighter should be for things like Step Jump, Air Reversal, Step JA Combo. They don't have to be leveled so it's safe to fuse onto starter 12* units. For double saber and dagger I just use a macro to switch the rings and weapon at the same time

Something like Joy To Key makes it easy to set all that in a usable way; I have it set up where I can easily use my shortcuts without slowing down or taking my hands off the controller.

[Tetsuo9999]

I'd rather not mess with macros if possible. I wish the ring switching wasn't so cumbersome and permanently fused to units. Isn't that against the rules anyway?

[Kondibon]

Isn't that against the rules anyway?As long as you aren't using to do things like press a key 300 times a second, it doesn't do anything you couldn't do with a regular keyboard and mouse.

[Ether]

The macros I use are chat macros built into the game. I'd post them but you know, servers being down and all.

[Anduril]

I'd rather not mess with macros if possible. I wish the ring switching wasn't so cumbersome and permanently fused to units. Isn't that against the rules anyway?

Honestly, probably no more so that using any of the English patches, especially since it is merely remapping the controller as a Keyboard.
To use an in-game chat shortcut, you hit ctrl+numpad number, and using JoyToKey, I have my controller set up so that holding down on the d-pad lets me use R3 as Ctrl, and the face buttons and triggers as the numpad numbers.
Example: say I want to use my TDs that are in my 1st weapon slot with L/TD Air Chase, and I have set chat shortcut 1 as "/mpal1 /sr l/tdairchase" to do so; instead of having to hit ctrl+numpad 1, I hit Down+R3+X, and it uses the shortcut.

Are the maps like Forrest/Caves still gonna be playable?

Are the maps like Forrest/Caves still gonna be playable?

Yes; they are just adding new content. Old playable content is never removed, with the exception of limited EQs and COs, and old EQs and COs that get readjusted or added into others.

Can I use an NT Seiga Blade to get the upgrade to the Selkaizer Blade? I tried it with Zeig but it didn't seem to work.

Yes, you can. If it didn't show up in the trade list even though you had it in your inventory, it is likely that the weapon was just locked.

I hope they aren't too tedious, and don't require EQs. I can understand why they would give Hero its own level cap COs though.

[Sizustar]

I hope they aren't too tedious, and don't require EQs. I can understand why they would give Hero its own level cap COs though.

Well~ translating Hamazaki's word would be

- Can you explain why there are lot of requirement for hte level cap on the new Hero class?
Hamazaki: Alot of player have saved up EXP tickets, so they can reach max level without even playing, we don't think that fits the requirement of a hero, we hope by these requirement that the player get a fundamental understanding of the Hero Class and it's skill and ability, since if you just go into XH without understanding, it will most likely cause arguement, we hope that these requirement on the Hero class will alievate this issue~

is there any costume/repca/layered wear that appear same like Mother?

How do you access the new missions?

[ralf542]

Correct me if i'm wrong, I used http://4rt.info/psod/ for it. Guard Stance Advance had now a 50% buff for 40 sec. Hu/Fi Fury is 4,3437 multipler and Guard Stance is 4,4772. WTF?

[Arada]

How do you access the new missions?
There are no new mission today. Buster quests arrive early August.

Ticket EXP is not scaled to your Level. You can blow past the first 40 or 50 levels really quickly if you have lots of 15000 EXP Tickets stocked.
Thank you.

Meh. What's the point of exp tickets if not lvling a new class? He definitely has a point but the exp tickets are wasted on new characters if you mostly play your main anyway.
Well, just means I gotta take a break from ticket spam (I wouldn't be able to use 500 tickets at once either, that would turn me into a zombie) to a co, then get back to ticket spam until the next co.

Besides, truly understand a class comes from playing it with all skills for a while. It doesn't actually help that much to play low lvl content without all the important class skills, especially when Hero uses old weapons and there is no need to get used to them.

The COs are all easy. Like you said, you take a break from ticket spam with COs. :P

[oratank]

just saw someone already lv 77 hour ago

You can still exchange them at the recycle or emble shop.

Yup they are gone. Its easy to tell because after you remove the last CO of a character you no longer have access to their picture will disappear from the CO menu.

So what is new in Episode 5 besides Hero Class just wondering?

[IchijinKali]

Well Episode 5's story has started, hence calling the patch Episode 5. There has been balance adjustments to classes, mostly involving buffs to PAs and some tree changes. An example would be RA if you had 10/10 in Weak Bullet you wouldn't really notice unless you checked the skill that you lost quite a chunk of its damage, exactly what it would be if WB jamming was in effect. Conversely the CD for WB has been reduced to 90 seconds AND you have 6 shots now.

[nyaaaaa]

For the Player Titles that require upgrading various weapons to +10, is there some other extra part to that? Or does it have to be the original (non-NT) version to count? I have had quite a few of them now, and not one title has unlocked. I haven't unlocked their potentials, and they have all been NT weapons, so I figured it is one of those two causing the problem... I guess?

Also, for SAFs (Special Ability Factors) on weapons... Are they just a bonus for when it is later used as affix fodder, or does it get added to the weapon itself as a bonus/extra ability? I thought it was the latter, but unless I missed something (I couldn't find anything anywhere) about an extra step that needs to be taken to unlock/add it, it didn't get added to the first weapon I upgraded to +35 the other day, but it DOES show up in the affixing screen as one of its abilities... So it is on the weapon, but not on it? ...Confused...

EDIT: Also, is Meseta Crystal (メセタ結晶) a new item? Just had one drop and can't find any info on it. It has the same symbol as all the other crystals (xyz結晶), and was a yellow box-like drop like the others are as well.

I increased the size of your statement that is the problem on why you aren't getting titles for grinding to +10. For added clarity SEGA made those 'grind XXX to +10' titles before even Braver existed and they have not updated those titles since that time. The weapons you need are OT only and as someone who did a whole lot of grinding OT weapons for those titles during Boost Week I can tell you right now.

If you didn't hate Dudu and Monica already for failing at 98% get ready to see them at their absolute worst when grinding OT weapons.

Ah okay. Like I mentioned in the post, I figured it was one of those two reasons. Not looking forward to getting around to those I guess. Haven't really messed with upgrading any OT weapons much yet anyway.

Any info on the other two parts, by chance? (One was an edit that probably wasn't there when you first replied)

[ShadowStarEdge]

So now that expert blocks are gone how do we turn on the matching for them

[IMACOP]

How do you unlock the hero class? I already accepted the CO. And I already have the classes requirements. But the quest won't update to hand in and the title npc is nowhere to be found.

[Kondibon]

But the quest won't update to hand in and the title npc is nowhere to be found.They moved the title npc, she's in between coffee's counter and the campship now.

[Calsetes]

Title NPC moved. Remember where the Treasure Shop lady was by the gate? There's a desk on Koffi's side of the lobby where the title lady and the treasure shop lady moved to. There's a desk on the other side, too, in the same spot (forget who's there, maybe Astarte?) and Seraphy moved from over by Reville to over by where the lady who gives you crap for ranking in the various ARKS League events is.

Also, water slides in the shop area. Only bad thing is I don't think there's animations for going down them, so you kinda just float down them.

[ashley50]

Nah, I kid. I figured there never was one, but I'll admit I also didn't know if there were slides before or not. First time playing during one of these events.

It has the same symbol as all the other crystals (xyz結晶), and was a yellow box-like drop like the others are as well. [Edit/Update] It seems to say something about an item shop in the description I think? Not playing with any translations (PS4), so just going off my rough Nihongo-translating abilities.

Had an answer to the original/first question I asked earlier, but haven't heard about anything for ^ these ^ two yet (added a bit to the second one). Was curious if I could get more input or whatnot.

4) Multi-part Battle Arena Question:
4.1) Is there a thorough guide or explanation of the Battle Arena system anywhere? I read a basic one, so I know what the goals/rules/guidelines are, but other than that it seems to be basically: hope I get an OP weapon/PA with the weapon I grab and sneak up on people, or just collect emblems all game like a pansy (I seem to get a fair bit of Battle Coins for that usually if I get MVP for it [I think that's what I am getting anyway].

4.2) Is there any way to switch the attack/PA/block/etc. button configuration? I use R1 for normal attacks when I play the game, so having them switched to Square and then Block or a PA move on R1 is still causing me issues.

4.3) Are the ARKS 1, 2, etc players AI or something, or the game just doesn't show some player IDs (or maybe just the other team's?) or is it a setting to hide it or something? It seems odd they would show your teammates names at the beginning but then on the MVP screens half of the time its just a bunch of ARKS #'s instead of actual player names (if that means they are from the other team though that would make sense).

[Jei182]

I apologize if this question has already been asked or answered, but to play as a Hero do you need all three of the lv 75 requirements to be on the same character? Or is it accountwide? I still have one to go but I have a specific character that I want it to be on.

[Batty]

Account wide; you just need to make sure to go to the title counter as the character that is at lv75 to get the title.

[Calsetes]

Do rare drop boosts affect bonus quests? Or are those fixed drops?

I'm tempted to say they're affected by the various drop boosts, but not 100% certain.

Also, for the person who asked about the battle arena, I just stayed in the back and tried to collect emblems while not dying. Considering I suck at PvP, it was a strategy that worked out for getting battle coins, even if we didn't always win. I was only there for 8 Arena Boosters for a 13* weapon.

[Calsetes]

So... 13* weapon tekking. What's the best way to go about it? For example, I find a 13* launcher untekked. Now, I have an ice one from CFs and 12* Lightning and Dark launchers. Been picking lightning for any I find since that's the weaker of those two. However, I now have two different 13* launchers, neither at 60 element (one's 20-something and the other's 40-something.) Should I just... level one of these and use it despite the element not being 60? Keep untekking 13* launchers as lightning in the hopes I get another duplicate of these two so I can max the element? Start doing some dark ones?

I don't really have this problem with my rifles since I'll be untekking those as fire, given I have light and wind from CFs.

[hhhnnnggg]

No more additional bonus as far as I know
Thank you.
Is there now any reason left to get Wind Mastery other than purely for fun (and Zandion)? It doesn't feel like Wind Mastery is really that much stronger than say light even during yamato.

[A total stranger]

Hi there, is the Ship Transfer option free or is it a chargeable service? Lastly where can one find it?

[Alenoir]

Hi there, is the Ship Transfer option free or is it a chargeable service? Lastly how can I find it?

It's a paid service, 700 AC per move, only moving you during maint and only carrying stuffs that's on your character and in their character storage. You request that through character select.

Does maintenance always last as long as scheduled, or do they sometimes bring the game back up early if they're done?

[ashley50]

It can be up earlier than what is scheduled or it could be extended.

[Anduril]

Does maintenance always last as long as scheduled, or do they sometimes bring the game back up early if they're done?
Depends on what maintenance is for, really.
A normal one can easily end 30 minutes early, while emergency ones can vary as to whether they end early or need to be extended.

[Calsetes]

Yes, first EQ after maintenance is Yamato! Too bad it's at 10, but oh well. More work on my weapons!!!

[ralf542]

Does Beach Wars 2017 drop Itsuki/Rina units? If yes, from EQ or big crystal?

A dude here said that you need ★13 Sword and TMG and Talis +35 for Lv80 cap, BUT Bumped says this:

※Grind ★13 or higher NT weapon to +35
※Only one Hero weapon type is needed.
Acquire Title: Seeker of Hero Perfection
※Clear Stratos CO: The Perfect Hero IV
Reward: Hero Level Cap License 5 (Lv. 80)

Can anyone confirm which one is true?

Itsuki and RINA Units are rarely given out as E-Trial Rewards that have Itsuki or RINA in a Unite Code.

I got that title without having owned a +35 Talis, so it's probably the latter.

Is the change to make tickets account wide implemented yet? If I use an accessory ticket now, will it show up on both of my characters?

[Calsetes]

Is the change to make tickets account wide implemented yet? If I use an accessory ticket now, will it show up on both of my characters?

Yes, but you need to use two tickets between your characters on your account. Also, it's retroactive, so if you already used two previously, you should have them on all your characters.

For example, I have the A2 Repca Base outfit on three characters. Before the update, they were the only ones who could use it. Now, I can use it on any of my characters.

[Ether]

So... I only have two characters so that seems kind of useless for me, since I'd still have to buy two tickets

[Calsetes]

So... I only have two characters so that seems kind of useless for me, since I'd still have to buy two tickets

Pretty much. You do have three character slots, though, so if you decide to make a third, or wind up buying a fourth as well or something, it'd apply to those as well. But if you only have two, then... yeah. Two tickets won't really be a change.

[IchijinKali]

So, since this might have gotten skipped earlier, any recommendations on what to do with untekked 13* launchers?

First and foremost DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT RAINBOW UNLESS YOUR CLASS HAS SKILLS THAT BOOST IT, I.E. FORCE AND ELEMENTAL BOUNCER.

The boost from just matching element to the weakness of what you are facing w/o any skills that buff it is so minutiae it is not even funny. Most people go for Light elemental since darkers are ALWAYS weak to it, but that is the only reason. The real objective is to always max the element to give yourself to biggest boost because that is part of the calculation for damage.

My suggestion hold off grinding any of them til you can make one of them 60 ele otherwise you might find yourself being ridiculed for using them, even if it is stronger than what you were using previously it just carries a sort of stigma.

Ok, that was my general thought on it. I'm pretty much stuck in "rainbow mode" due to how I was playing, but since I'm already on this path I may as well finish it. Plus, hey - should I ever take up some other subclass for Ranger that gives an elemental boost, I'll be prepared. Plus, I typically grab whatever one weapon is most effective in the group I'm currently facing, as opposed to changing on the fly for every individual enemy (i.e. the Beach Wars quest, I'll use my Ice Launcher, then swap to my Wind Rifle when facing a group with Phantoms in it or to apply WB.)

I'll keep tekking them as lightning then until I get enough "stuff" to make a 60 lightning launcher, then focus on dark. Thanks.

[ralf542]

The boost from just matching element to the weakness of what you are facing w/o any skills that buff it is so minutiae it is not even funny.

It's around 4-5% for matching element for not tech classes.

How does one create The Soul abilities?You combine one of the earth souls with a free field boss soul.

[Jei182]

Account wide; you just need to make sure to go to the title counter as the character that is at lv75 to get the title.
Thanks. I still need the tech requirement. I plan on stocking up on exp tickets to help but having never really played a tech class before I'd like to have it on my newman, just in case I end up doing more with it than I thought. Although now would be a good time to use some of those 12 star eggs that are taking up space in my bank and having that class be summoner even though I'll probably suck at it lol.

How does one create The Soul abilities?
Toh'oh Soul, Full Vegas Soul, or Escarde Soul + one of the following souls:
Gunne, Zigmor, Vol, Quartz, Fang, Nepto, Snow, EX, Vardha, Shrayda, Meduna, Ringa, Bal.

You can use Affixing Simulator (http://pso2affix.seilent.net/) and combine one green highlighted soul with a blue highlighted soul.

Had one question answered, but still haven't heard back about any of these (except one part of the battle arena question):

1)
For Special Ability Factors on weapons... Are they just a bonus for when it is later used as affix fodder, or does it get added to the weapon itself as a bonus/extra ability? I thought it was the latter, but unless I missed something (I couldn't find anything anywhere) about an extra step that needs to be taken to unlock/add it, it didn't get added to the first weapon I upgraded to +35 the other day, but it DOES show up in the affixing screen as one of its abilities... So it is on the weapon, but not on it? ...Confused...

2)
Is Meseta Crystal (メセタ結晶) a new item? Just had one drop (two now) and can't find any info on it. It has the same symbol as all the other crystals (xyz結晶), and was a yellow box-like drop like the others are as well. [Edit/Update] It seems to say something about an item shop in the description I think? Not playing with any translations (PS4), so just going off my rough Nihongo-translating abilities.
2.1)
Was going to ask the same about an Izane Treasure(?) Crystal [イザネ宝晶], which I got (one) from a post-battle scratch in the Battle Arena yesterday, but looked it up. Seems it can be sold for 50k meseta? Have there been any other uses for them implemented yet, or is that it? May just hold onto it just in case (50k doesn't seem worth it if I may need it later for something; yes I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to stuff like that).
(Side Note: I think the descriptions of these two might have been somewhat similar (iirc, can't check atm; and search results for "メセタ結晶" seem to be just from the last day or two, so maybe it is a newer, and easier to obtain but cheaper, version if the Izane one?)

3) Multi-part Battle Arena Question:
3.1)
Is there a thorough guide or explanation of the Battle Arena system anywhere? I read a basic one, so I know what the goals/rules/guidelines are, but other than that it seems to be basically: hope I get an OP weapon/PA with the weapon I grab and sneak up on people, or just collect emblems all game like a pansy (I seem to get a fair bit of Battle Coins for that usually if I get MVP for it ).

3.2)
Is there any way to switch the attack/PA/block/etc. button configuration? I use R1 for normal attacks when I play the game, so having them switched to Square and then Block or a PA move on R1 is still causing me issues.

3.3)
Are the ARKS 1, 2, etc players AI or something, or the game just doesn't show some player IDs (or maybe just the other team's?) or is it a setting to hide it or something? It seems odd they would show your teammates names at the beginning but then on the MVP screens half of the time its just a bunch of ARKS #'s instead of actual player names (if that means they are from the other team though that would make sense). To possibly answer this part of my own question, I am thinking it just means it was a member from the other team, so they don't get hate mail or something (I guess)? It would make sense that way, because I played one match yesterday where some guy was single-handedly destroying our team using jet boots. You couldn't land a hit on him and he'd decimate you almost instantly. If this was a 'western' game and that happened in PVP he would've been smothered in hate mail, so I can understand their logic in this case (if I am even correct anyway).

-------


Also, for the person who asked about the battle arena, I just stayed in the back and tried to collect emblems while not dying. Considering I suck at PvP, it was a strategy that worked out for getting battle coins, even if we didn't always win. I was only there for 8 Arena Boosters for a 13* weapon.

For this ^, did you mean getting the boosters for unlocking potentials (read that you needed them to do so on specific 13* weapons I think), I am guessing? Just curious, because I can't do any of the collection files yet (haven't checked the ones they just added) because you need to be max level to get the first part/drop for all of them (unless I am mistaken), which I am not there yet [I](highest classes are: Braver (63), Ranger (66), Hunter (55), and everything else in the 20s), so if they were needed to OBTAIN a 13* weapon, I would be interested in that lol. Only 13* I have atm is the Wand/Rod (forget which, and the name) that I had drop from an Emergency Trial in Tundra Free Field (which I didn't know you could get them that way at the time, and was fairly shocked). I did swap some of my 600-ish 5th anniv. tokens into 2016 Gold tokens to get one of the all-class 13*s (probably the AR for WB purposes, but hesitant and wanting to see to what extent the changes they made to WB have left it, although seemed to be working like usual yesterday, just with more shots?), but haven't decided which one just yet (was another question for further down the road I guess).

I kind of have no idea what I am doing when using Summoner (aside from a couple guides I have read; but still probably doing plenty of things wrong), but when you are doing the quests that you are able to get into in the level 20 range (my summoner is lvl 22 atm I think) with a bunch of level 80+ pets, it seems a bit of a cakewalk. I have never even switched pets to be honest. I just use the basic attack from my lvl.85 Sari with the occasional Lobs at bosses and makes it seem easy, but it's probably different at the higher levels I would assume.

Wanda/Jinga will melt everything up to SH.

Once you get to SH you want to start playing around with the candy box, then figure out the few DPS pets you're OK with to use and stick with them. Should learn to optimize your candy box at this point too, to make the most out of your pets.

I think my Wanda is lvl.90 and Jinga is lvl.85 I think? Haven't used them yet. Also have a Torim(u) at lvl.70 (still have YET to get the ideal personality on a Torim(u) egg, so not upping its rarity just yet, and the ones on the player store are laughably priced, for me at least), Viola at lvl.90, Maron at lvl.80, working on a Meron (somewhere in the 60's atm I think), then a second Maron which I haven't started leveling yet (although not sure I want to have two copies of the same pet, just seems wierd to me, but the first one isn't the best/ideal personality for it, so idk). I have had a 10* Aero egg for ages but it is Wind element (which, in-game ability aside, seems ideal for a bird... heh), but again, not the ideal personality, so haven't hatched it yet. Also have two 11* Synchro eggs, but I think they had the least desirable personality trait (I think, not sure) and were wind and lightning element, so both still sitting in storage atm. Have a TON of Viola eggs that have their ideal traits though, too bad I don't have a shop lol. Haven't gotten a Popple or Redran egg yet though. I know Redran can be pretty rare and is only from one specific event iirc (Phantom Mother I think? Which I have only done two or three times), but I would like to get a Popple one, but not sure where it drops from.

They are all light element too, does that matter much? Or should I raise fire ones as well, and possibly a wind one for the Tokyo/Vegas enemies?

I haven't messed with their candy boxes yet (for the most part) simply because: a) I am not really sure what to use just yet; I have pulled up some guides and stuff, but I don't have the ones I need 'ideally' apparently, even though I have tons of candy items taking up storage space; and since removing/swapping them seems to be a very expensive or difficult task, to me it would be better to just wait til I have the ideal items; and b) I think when I first looked it up, the Caramel Crushers basically seemed unobtainable (idk whether it was because I am f2p or was end-game related or whatnot), but I only have one atm that I got from a Pietro quest, so that makes me hesitant to do much with the candy boxes yet. I did put two gummies and two of the sandwich-type items in Sari's though, because they were taking up inventory space at the time (have tons of other stuff taking up even more space now though, so... whoops).

[Kiyumi]

Asking again.

Do rare drop boosts affect bonus quests? I have a feeling those are fixed drops.

[[Ayumi]]

What is the use/point of Meseta Crystals?
There has to be more than it just being PSO2's equivalent of a shitty nugget from Pokémon as all they give is 500 meseta.

Ring attachments, is it restricted to L/ rings only?

They are exactly that and yes it is a stupid idea considering they could've just not added that since we already have meseta drops.

Yes that is correct you can only attach L rings to 12* units.

Now I'm wondering how they look in XQ seeing how you get 1000+ in there. That would be fucking stupid if you get those as drops and have to pick between them and other things.

At least someone answered your question about them. I asked twice over the past couple pages about them, and other things (three times if you count a post that never showed because it said something about needing mod approval or something(???)... Yet it is still nowhere to be seen and have no notifications or anything about it being disallowed or anything.) and got no response about the crystals either time.

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the "needs mod approval" thing I have seen twice now? It's only if its a longer/lengthier post when it happens, and once was on a completely different thread (I at first assumed maybe it might have been a 'length limit' or something on this specific thread since it was 'quick questions', but that was proven incorrect when it happened on a completely unrelated thread again a little bit ago). Will I get some sort of notification if/when it gets approved/denied? Or should I just assume it's automatically gone? One had a response to someone in it, so need to know if I need to re-post that part separately at least, or something.

Can try and look back and see, but I'm wondering if you said you asked about twice. I'm guessing you copy and pasted the same thing? If so, maybe it's some automatic thing that noticed "Wait, this is the same thing posted again" and think you're a bot so it needs approval to make sure you're not one. That's just my guess as I'm not too sure.

The first (second?) time I asked, I replied w/quote to my own post so I wouldn't have to copy/paste, and then the following time I copy/pasted in, at the end, a reply/follow-up to a response I had to one of my other questions so I wouldn't end up having to make two back to back posts (since I figured that would have been frowned upon more than a 'lengthy post', but I seem to have been mistaken). That was the one that wasn't allowed/needed approval or whatnot.

The other post that gave me that message was a response I tried to make on a different thread that ended up being a lengthy bout of questions and whatnot (about es), so there wasn't any copy/paste, just a lot of text. Unless it is just not letting me make posts beyond a certain length because I am a 'new member' or something, I can't really figure out what I am doing wrong.

It "could" maybe be the "new member" thing as at times we do get certain new accounts made just to spam the boards until the mods notice it and delete them all and then ban the account.

I remembered/thought of one other thing the two posts had in common: I used the 'Go Advanced' feature for them, instead of just 'Post Quick Reply'.

I did that because I knew they were either going to be multi-part/lengthy posts, or I just wanted the additional 'editing' or whatnot features, such as strikethrough text, etc. (I have the code/coding for that memorized now though because of this issue... yay?). I haven't had a problem with any post via 'Quick Reply', but both times I used 'Go Advanced' (I also like that you can preview your post with that option, another reason I WOULD prefer it if it worked) I got that error message and my post never materialized.

For PSO2es... Do you always get the 'main character' for the event temporarily on loan or something? Like a test drive to see if you want to spend the items on that chip or something else? I ask because I downloaded it during the lengthy ep.5 maintenance for the first time, and as soon as I started I had the Summer Vacation Bluesy chip (is that really her name?). I just ask because I figure I should stop leveling her if I don't actually get to keep her lol.

Edit: Also (forgot to ask), do duplicates of chips serve any purpose in es? For instance in PSO2 dupe weapons are used to raise the grind cap, so they have uses, but I am not really seeing anything that requires a dupe chip in es? To unlock them (not really sure what that does other than raise the level cap) you use five specified items, to level them you use rappy chips... So are dupes not needed then? As in, if I do get to keep that Bluesy chip and it's not just a temporary 'trial/loan' or whatnot, I won't have any reason to spend the 50 shells for another copy, and can instead use them on other things listed?

There is a PSO2es dedicated topic, you should ask all future question there.
http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?218349-PSO2es-Discussion-Thread/page605

And if you can read japanese or use a translation tool to go through the wiki here
http://pso2es.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%83%81%E3%83%83%E3%83%97#ycee76bc

1. She is a free chip given for the current event, and is a B type for Native and Sea type enemy only, and her base activation rate is 極小, so only 1~9% chance to activate, you want to raise her to have higher activation rate.

There is no "trial" chip in game.

2. Duplicate chip are used to raise the chip ability level, what that means is it reduce CP cost for active chip, and increase activation rate for passive chip.

You should learn about chip type by going through the thread, there is should be a reply on what it means.
And also, the meta for PSO2es isn't the same as PSO2.

It should still be Twin Dagger > Certain Tech+Wand > TMG
So for example, a 11* PA chip cost 50 CP per activation, but at max ability level(Through duplicate or the same element Nyau chip) you raise it to max level, and the CP cost is reduced to 34.

Unless you are hurting for multiple L rings, the best option is uncrafted Austere Rear+Arm, and a fitting leg unit (a 12* if you want an extra Ring, or some crafted Leg).

What the hell does "weak bullet jamming" mean? This was apparently just removed. Does weak bullet function differently now aside from the damage nerf?

Weak Bullet Jamming was an effect present in several XH EQs which caused Weak Bullet to appear blue and reduced its multiplier down to 1.2x; now that Weak Bullet's general multiplier is 1.2x, they no longer need it. Weak bullet also now has a shorter cooldown and can have up to 5 shots per use of the skill.

6 shots, actually. 5 if you stop the skill at Lv9.

If the notification to ready up doesn't appear right away, press the Start button first to bring up the Main Menu, THEN press Triangle. This will move your cursor to a special notification tab at the very top of the screen. You can then open the popup from there.

So I have 4 Kaiser Launcher, but I don't want to grind them until after I upgrade them to a Seikaiser Launcher cause NT-grinding is so much easier. In order to make sure I can reach +35, should I combine them all into 1 before upgrading or should I keep them separate?

The only reason to combine them is if they aren't at 60%, and even then, it's just if you want to save on Fuses; when you trade an OT Tokyo weapon to Zeig for an NT, they will come out with a fully unlocked grind cap no matter what grind they come with.

So does this means, say if I don't have premium and Block 4 free space is full, i wouldn't be able to match with people in Block 4? Because I wouldn't be able to move to said Block.
Sounds legit, but damn me if I know how to check it.

Yes I think that's how it works, but it should not work vice versa i mean premium users matching not only with full free space.

[IndigoNovember]

The only reason to combine them is if they aren't at 60%, and even then, it's just if you want to save on Fuses; when you trade an OT Tokyo weapon to Zeig for an NT, they will come out with a fully unlocked grind cap no matter what grind they come with.

Ah, I didn't know that it'd always come out fully unlocked, thanks!

How do I drop a Party Maker in MPAs?

How do I drop a Party Maker in MPAs?

From Quick Menu, change layout to Multi Party or any other which have Party Maker Installer.

[nyaaaaa]

Do all the collection files (haven't checked the new ones yet, kept forgetting) still require lvl75+? I picked up three of them a while back hoping that wasn't the case (since I am still not there yet), so all three are finished except for the drop that does require lvl75.

Are there any useful PBs other than Ketos Proi? I want one that can nuke a bunch of mobs.

Photons beasts never been buffed once, so don't expect them to deal damage. Ever.

[TehCubey]

Julius Nifta.


Photons beasts never been buffed once

They were buffed once, causing their damage to go up from 4 to 5 digits. Still not very useful from pure damage perspective alone.

[nyaaaaa]

Depends on what your character is spec'd in stat-wise, since all but Ketos Proi (I think) are based on a specific stat.

I use Julius Nifta atm because I am usually soloing stuff, so Ketos Proi didn't do much for me other than every now and then (and was Bow Braver for a while so the mob helping abilities of Julius Nifta was an extra boost per se). But Julius Nifta is based on your T-ATK stat, so before you use it, you switch to a weapon that gives you at least a decent T-ATK number, then activate it (I am still not sure whether you need to have it equipped JUST while activating it, or the whole time it is out/active though).

The Ilios [something] one that was based on R-ATK is actually kind of strong (or felt like it when I used it early on), but it is kind of designed poorly. It stays near you and attacks what you are targeting with a sword, but doesn't leave your side, which is NOT ideal if you are spec'd in R-ATK, because theoretically you are probably going to be keeping your distance from your targets.

Since I downloaded and started playing es during/since the Ep.5 update, if I were to ever get the shop pass in PSO2, are Soul Receptor items valuable regardless of the amount of abilities, or are they only really sought after if they are on high-# ability items? They actually seem to have a decent drop rate, but a lot of times they are only on maybe a two or three ability weapon, or the only ability on a unit, etc.

i.e. Should I keep any item with Soul Receptor, or if running low on space, just the many-ability-#'ed ones?

Ship 2 (as of 11EST)
Units
3 slot: 135,450 M
4 slot: 414,750 M
5 slot: 5,869,500 M
6 slot: 12,600,000 M

Weapons
3 slot: 30,450 M
4 slot: 136,500 M
5 slot: 179,550 M
6 slot: 15,225,000 M

It's up to you whether or not the low affix items are worth saving, but anything with soul receptor should sell pretty quickly, so you may want to hold onto them unless you absolutely need the space.

There doesn't seem to be any voice ticket for Sakura Ayane currently.

Let me ask something. I don't get what people here and there say.

People say Gix is bad cuz Automate resets the potential. Automate is useless on Fi, but Iron Will is must have. Hero Will sucks cuz it's 1 activation/quest.

Now then they say it's hard to keep up Katana Gear(purple aura), Guard Sance Advance sucks cuz it's situational(need to guard once every 40sec).

So now are we getting hit by shit or not? Why waste SP on AM, IW, HW if we are unable to guard even once in 40sec and before Katana Gear runs out? We don't even need HP(unit bonus, affix) in this case.

all of this is true more or less. I guess different person gets hit different number of times.

Hard to figure out what you are asking but I'll give it a shot.

On melee characters Gix's weapon potential resets when you use a mate item, i.e. monomate, dimate, trimate, as well as switching weapons. This makes Automate Halfline a very detrimental skill to have on melee oriented characters, assuming you can't dodge or you have to switch weapons.

Having Automate Halfline on FI is also pretty much a bad idea as their damage typically comes from High-Risk High-Reward situations such as keeping status effects on or fighting with hp that is at 25% or lower. This makes Iron Will & Never Give Up very useful for FI, if it procs, thanks to having an extended invincibility and a buff to damage.

For Hero Will it only sucks if you can't keep yourself from dying been told plenty of times Heroes have plenty of extra points so investing in it isn't exactly the end of the world.

I don't know much about Guard Stance's changes since supposedly it is better than Fury Stance now thanks to the recent update. Katana Gear is hard to keep up only if you aren't attacking/countering the gear is constantly ticking down after you activate it when you counter a hit. Using attacks like Sakura and Guren can keep the gear up very easily while others just barely maintain it.

HP affixes have never been a priority for me but others go for it since the extra max HP may mean the difference between a 3-hit death and living.

For clarity....

Converting OT to NT 13* don't count for 80 class titles correct?
If so is it because the grind level cap is instant +35?

[Anduril]

What doesn't count is if you trade an OT that is Pot.3 +5-+10 since it is instantly +35/35, thus you didn't "grind" it to +35/35. If you trade in a +0 OT, you get a +0/35, that will then count when you grind it yourself up to +35/35.

Does using a half-doll reset everything experience-related when running a quest/free field/etc? I had to use one (don't ask) on SH Sanctuary Free Field earlier about 3/4 of the way through the Dragon Ex battle, and as a lvl.63 when I finished him off (was using 3 AI controlled friends if that matters), the two exp numbers it showed were 7,875exp and 3,168exp... On SH, as a lvl.63, with the 50% tri-boost from daily orders...

Did the half-doll cause that? Or am I incorrectly thinking the numbers were supposed to be a fair bit higher than that? (I don't usually pay attention to the exp #s that often unless it's a massive number tbh).

Even with the daily Tri-boost and NPC boost, the EXP values in normal Free Field and ARKS Quests just aren't that high.

Rats, you responded before I realized & could edit Sanctuary -> Sanctum... (I don't play with translations though, so not used to some of the names tbh.)

That seems odd that basically a same level Dragon Ex and, say, Yamato give such massive differences in Exp though, even if the rationale is 'well it's a limited-time event thing'. It's not like any part of that entire EQ is hard in any way (I don't have access to the highest difficulty yet anyway, maybe it changes there), yet even as a lower level class I have gotten some ridiculous amounts of Exp from it. So is that the best usage of boosters then? Just pop one before multi-run EQs because nothing else is worth it, I guess? Does the Beach Wars one give good enough exp for them? Like I said, I usually don't pay attention, and the Beach Wars event is basically a giant cluster-fluff of stuff getting mowed down instantly anyway.

-

Off-topic question: I know it's random, but do Izanekazuchi's have any specific/peculiar criteria for it to spawn that is/are different from other rare enemies (for instance, maybe only spawning in specific EQs or something)? I've only ever seen the regular version, Tagamikazuchi, twice (outside of Tokyo Bonus quests); once at the end of some Forest EQ when I first started about a month ago, and the other was random during a Free Field roam a few days ago while gathering/fishing/exploring in Kurono (that one was really generous with drops; unless 10 red/rare items from one is normal). I think the Izanekazuchi units only drop in XH difficulty, so I wouldn't be able to get those, but the weapon camo would be nice and I think it drops on all difficulties.

Yeah, EQs and LQs are usually where you want to use your Boosters; additionally, if you have a full party of players, you get a multiplicative 40% EXP boost (and a 40% additive RDR and Meseta boost).
Izane can only spawn in Seasonal EQs; the camo can drop on all difficulties, and the units only on XH.

You can use the Bonus Scratch Exchange Tickets from the Scratch Menu, but if you don't want to use it, you can trade it to the Recycle Shop for a 150% Triboost; those are your only two options at this time.

Is the boost from 'Summer Wear/Attire' worth spending the meseta on? I don't really care for any of them long-term tbh, maybe one or two (that are inflated in price because of the event/boost), but I found one or two others that aren't terrible for 400k-500k, although that's more than I want to spend on something I will probably never use again, unless the boost really helps with something. (Also, I am still mid-game, so I don't have a lot of meseta in the first place, and when I do it's gone a day later grinding something.)

I mean, it's better than nothing. Once you unlock TACOs, you can make an extra 2m per week, so you'll have a lot of spare money to buy a swimsuit or something.

Are there any non-13* weapons that have interesting utility potentials? Like I'd consider Chain Sawd's Vampiric Blade to be an interesting utility potential.

[Saelix]

Divine Raikou bow lowers Bow's skill cooldown
Magical Piece wand built compound techs faster (no longer really usable since compound 2 minute cooldown change)
Elysion and other weapons made uncharged techs actually usable (was nerfed and no longer good)

[Kondibon]

Elysion and other weapons made uncharged techs actually usable (was nerfed and no longer good)The nerf wasn't that bad, it's just that there aren't any 13*s with that latent, so any weapon that can use it doesn't really have the stats to make it work.

Any recommendations and how to get would be appreciated. I mainly wand wack.
