How do I know what PB to get?

All of them just attack right? I know theres a zondeel one but I see most people have this floaty guy with a red sword.

Most of them attacks.

Melee ones are boosted by S-atk, Range ones boosted by R-atk, Tech are boosted by T-atk.

Each does it's own thing which makes it different from the other (ramming, homing missiles, kamamheheha beam, etc.)

Most people go with red sword guy (I think it was Ilios) because he basically attacks when you attack for a fix time rate unlike the others so his damage contribution can be higher or lower than the others.

Most other used one is the PP restore PB.

Hiding units is cosmetic only (:

Yeah, I know :3 But I mean the petal effect it has--I'm curious if that hides as well or if it's just the giant rose that hides. And ended up getting one so actually got to test... not surprising it blocks the petal effect too, but kind of wish it didn't because I find the rose sticking out of your back really odd looking >>

And one other question now...

Was trading with a friend and for some reason, most of his trade slots had this like...red box in them/red slot block thing. Does anyone have any idea what that is or why he had it? X__x

I suggest PB regen one called Ketos Proi. Providing the mpa, during a burst, or your party with a limited time high regen rate is better than using an attacking pb that does little dmg.

The Cake Sister's Shop is only in the Emergency Quest called 'Where's the Chocolate 2', so you will have to wait for that to pop up to clear that.

Soma Quest, Area 1, is good for Visbolt.

Grab at least one friend and go run around the area.

False.

It's a rare random code, last time I got it outside of EQ was 2 days ago in SH 3rd seabed ark quest in the 2nd area, where I was hunting mob for a team order. I had heard one of the sister's voice, and decided to do their code.

Funny enough, since I was dashing around until I found them and ignoring the no-team order mob (almost everything), at one point, mobs stopped to spawn. I blame it on the map having to take care of vorpalian vs bird darker fight or something (I could be wrong). As a result, easiest (red) code protect I ever had.


Can it be an NPC?
Regarding visbolt code in Soma Ark Quest area1, I do it often enough for client order exp, but only rarely saw that code with 3 npc.

You did the Rookie Pebble Gathering and Rookie Defender COs? Apparently these two unlock the Ecological Survey.
Well, not 'apparently', I actually unlocked it just a few hours ago by completing those two.

So, about critical hits... everyone calls them "blue numbers" and I swear I've seen screenshots where they were literally blue.
But on my screen, they're just "greyish-teal" and not very discernible from the white numbers.
What's the deal with that?

Also, a heads up:
If you set bots to do nothing (via the quick menu), they will still use heals and items now.
The last time I tried it, they didn't do anything at all.

Territory Burst makes the area of effect larger
This affects Resta, Anti, Shifta, Deband, Zanverse, Megiverse, Zondeel

Wand gear is accumulated from techs, and empowers strikes. Don't melee first lol

There's a folder named "log" that contains chat logs, action logs and so forth.
It should actually be within the same folder as "symbolarts", "pictures", "temp" and "download".
So basically SEGA > PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 > log.
At least that's how it is for me.

Hello, I too have come back after a break. Never got too far so I feel like the game is still totally new to me.

One of the biggest problems I have is direction, what the heck am I supposed to do? I'm guessing there is no "clear" place to level, and I should just pick any field that I have client orders? Basically how do I progress?

Secondly, any tips for lower classed people in terms of must have skills/weapons that are easy to pick up? I've found some of the 1stat Req weapons which are pretty cool, what about Units?

Right now im a level 23 Ranger and I just ran my first Coastal run. Should I be spamming that? And on Normal or Hard? Any Event missions I should look out for?

Thanks all!

Some ressource websites in case you need them:
PSO2 Bumped (http://bumped.org/psublog/category/phantasy-star-online-2/)
Cirnopedia (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/)
PSO2 jpn wiki (http://pso2.swiki.jp/) (just google translate it)

Well, right now, you might wanna work on unlocking your area and good repeatable npc's CO. And there is also the Coast Limited Quest until early march, you can usually find full mpa for those on the right block for your difficulty.

Skill wise, the build thread (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205010) might come in handy.

Sorry for late reply btw

Does hidden bonuses mean the entire bonus such as 90 r atk / pp? I bought the tian set with some nice affix and my r atk went up by 150ish but my defenses/hp went down a lot(-150ish each).

Another question, Im having terrible inventory issues constantly hovering around 46-48/50 space.

What are useless items that new people make the mistake of picking up?

Thanks!

Feb 16, 2014, 03:24 PM
@ SkylyVi: Are you using your storage to bank your extra stuff? You will learn over time what you want/need to keep. As for the yellow/gold/orange box, those are Client Order drop. If you're not carefull, sometime you pick extra that dropped before you picked the last one you needed and turning the CO in only consume the required amount. Your Support Partner will also bring back more than needed often, so you will need to do some cleaning (I recommend going in your CO list and take screenshot of all your active CO that require drop and them removing the ones not matching).

http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/unit_1.php#nav
Everything in the attribute, paramaters and properties column are lost (except set bonus, which stay the same as the vanilla version) and replaced with hp/pp amount that vary depending on chosen defense requiring type. Sdef is 30hp/1pp, Rdef is 20hp/2pp and Tdef is 10hp/3pp.

If you are low level you should simply vendor (or feed to your mag) any weapons and units you find on the ground. The only ones you want to keep are ones that have 7stars or more. Client order drops that you turn in you may have extras of. If you need 20 yeti horns but you pick up 23, when you turn in your quest you will have 3 extra. Double check to see if the client order drops you have are for active orders, and if theyre already finished you can dump the rest.

I have a teammate who said is stuck in "screenshot mode" on pc version(1st time I heard of that). It only affect one of his character, and relogging didn't do anything to change that. It look like as if he pressed T, but his game only respond to zoom in/out and direct chat. It happened during Falz Arm EQ when he shouted in team chat that he had gotten lv50. We're all lost as to how to help him, seem he cannot even access his keyboard setting.

Edit: Nvm, it was story patch messing with Koffie that blocked him.

Shops are more expensive and its harder to sell stuff there than on ship 2. Very few actual good english teams. Most are either very small/inactive or consist of mainly whiney babies. Thats just my opinion, since I was on ship 10 for over 3000 hours, but its up to u if u wanna move.

The only thing I can say is that you were probably targeting an infection point; they list Fire/Ice/Lightning as a weakness, although Wind/Light/Dark also get the same damage (I could be wrong, correct me if I am)

In Extreme Quests, though, there's also the fact that clearing the previous Stage's Stage Order causes all Resistances of that Stage (sometimes to elements) to become Weaknesses

Yes that is right the 18th. remember after the march 5th update we get 2 week boosters so the 18th is about when we should get it.
The boost week is 1 week, not 2. It goes from March 12 to March 19.
Usually updates are on the same day as new scratches, and the next scratch is in March 5, so, most likely the AQ/XQ update is on this day (unless they end up releasing only the white day EQ/lobby on this day, while leaving the AQs/XQs for later...)

Ship 02 if you want to play with English speaking players, although Ship 08 has a decent community too. Not sure what blocks the English vita players generally hang out in, though.

Common abbreviations, let's see...
These are the ones I can remember right now.

MPA = multi party area
CO = client order
EQ = emergency quest
TA = time attack quest
TACO = client orders for the time attack quests (time attack client order)
N, H, VH, SH = difficulty modes, normal, hard, very hard, super hard
AQ = advance quest (a type of quest that requires lvl 45)
XQ = extreme quest (a type of quest that requires lvl 50)

How much more inventory space do you get from becoming a premium member?


None at all. You do get access to premium storage, however, which has 300 slots.

You can purchase 50 extra inventory slots without being premium.

So I'm on matter board 7.
I'm supposed to do "F-5 Clear a Story Quest 【Quest】 Things Entrusted to Dragons 【Chapter 6】 Act 2: The Truth Above the Sky" but I can't imagine how to get to "Act 2" of that run. I've scoured every inch of that map in the 9 runs I've replayed. Can anyone tell me what I have to do before or during the mission to be able to pass this node?

When you do that quest again, there's like a jump back somewhere are the first 3 fish darkers.

Common abbreviations, let's see...
These are the ones I can remember right now.

MPA = multi party area
CO = client order
EQ = emergency quest
TA = time attack quest
TACO = client orders for the time attack quests (time attack client order)
N, H, VH, SH = difficulty modes, normal, hard, very hard, super hard
AQ = advance quest (a type of quest that requires lvl 45)
XQ = extreme quest (a type of quest that requires lvl 50)

Hey, thanks for clarifying! Sorry for probably asking a redundant question. I just wanted to be sure. But thanks again!

Please feel free to use Team storage for storing too. Thats if your team will allow to dump your shit into it. Also if you have excess room decor, please use the Room B option to dump all that stuff in there.

You can but you would have a lil bit less dmg than other gu's. You could try to make up in a crit build. I honestly dont know.

Ummm about AC... you could always try to participate in the contests that sometimes pop up on PSOW here. Or just hustle people.

If I save up(I have 23.4 m, had 33m before doin new tech units and heretic tails) for A rack Cylinder, would just using elder falz 10* pyro rifles be efficient to 50 the element? I can always buy extra rifle mats if needed.

Ah, yes indeed. With a crafted yasminkow 2k, potential fully unlocked and a crit build (http://ryuhiroshi.funpic.de/pso2/skillcalc.php?06eIbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIkbnIk0lbI nqnGKJ7JiGA000007b000009b000000jdBbqHS5FIpfGAhnrC0 000ib000000lb0000000Ib000008) as suggested previously, it should work for decent result. You could even re-final extend until you get HU or choose to invest in the HU able AC scratch item.

Edit: Guild Milla require 600 Ratk ... which can easily be reached depending on race/gender at lv cap from the look of the posted build. Worse case, move around some SP from atk pp restore to Ratk up 2.

Would I be able to equip guld millas?

Guld Milla requires 600 R-atk, For Gu/Hu by default with no R-atk from mag you won't be able to equip it. So overall with you are missing 175 R-atk (pure build) to 100+ R-atk (rest is Dex). Without an R-atk Mag, your best choice is Yas9k as a Gu/Hu unless you invest into +R-atk in the skill tree but that will hinder your damage.

Note that even my Gu/Hu caseal couldn't equip GMs (racial bonus didn't help which counters the post above me) when having a 0-R-atk (boot legged mag which came from Te/Hu build). (but now I got new mag though)


I just bought a whole bunch of AC and I'm looking to change my CAST's armore color. But after doing some searching around, alot of people are saying that they can only be altered by a recolor ticket. So will a Makeover Ticket not work? I need to know before I buy one.

Thanks in advance.

You can buy rappy suits from player shops, yellow rappy suits are the cheapest on ship 02 right now going for around 300-500k each.

makeover ticket =/= color change because color change applies to all outfits except all race and uni-sex outfits.

Once you get either 8 AC items or a rappy suit of any color, go over to the recycle shop and trade it in for a recolor ticket. (first two options on the list)

This isn't really true. Maxing R-ATK Up 2 is a pretty standard thing to do, since there's nothing else to spend the points on, and this means any race/gender Gunner/Hunter will have over 600 R-ATK at level 65.

You get 5 free points. R-ATK2 needs 5 pt as prereq so people just max it. You keep perfect keeper. You only need 1 pt in chain trigger and get step tree on hu.

I don't even think you could get a disc drop there, let alone a Lv. 16 one as the enemy needs to be 61+ to drop that.

It's a painfully frustrating hunt that got pretty much no better in the LQ, so it's just something you'll have to chalk up to sheer luck to drop.

This is correct. There are PC-exclusive blocks, shared blocks, and Vita-exclusive blocks. Vita blocks & shared blocks have slightly different enemy spawn behaviors (fewer at a time, but more respawn to even it out). Bursts also last longer (all burst timers are an additional 1 minute & 30 seconds instead of just 1 minute) to make up for the fewer enemies on-screen at one time.

I asked because I've been messing around with Te/Br and it's pretty fun in groups.
Territory Burst, support techs, Zondeel, SaZan, Wand Lovers and Shunka Shunran.
But it felt like Wand and Katana potentially lose a lot of damage because of Weak Stance.

The character is primarily a caster, and Te/Br is just for fun. I heard FoBr was good with Weak Stance so that seemed like a higher priority.
I only have one tree for each class on that character, so I'm trying to find a nice balance in skills without having to keep resetting.

You have to complete all the Arks Quests in the other areas as new areas are unlocked by completing old ones. I think Quarry is the area before Seabed.

Hello all, what are the good PAs for ranger and gunner? And any tips on how to effectively aim the skills better? I seem to miss on gunner.

Thanks!

For RA,
Rifles:
-Sneak Shooter (Lv. 16 preferred) - Mid-ranged shot that's great for setting up Standing Snipe. A relevant example would be manual aim sniping Chrome Dragon's wings (if he has them) or target aim sniping him in the face. Not particularly effective against mobile targets so try to pick this out when you want to hit broad areas (or targets that Diffuse struggles with).
-Diffuse Shell (Lv. 16) - Good for moving in with after setting up Standing Snipe, works really well with Zero Effort rifles. Forces knockdown and the hitbox is out for a while making it easy to hit multiple targets while moving. Diffuse seems to have issues with hitting the desired target if a boss has multiple parts cluttered together (like Banther's face, Cater's tail, or Vol's horn) so try to pick out appropriate bosses to use this one.
-Homing Emission (Lv. 11+) - Not used as you would expect it to be used. When you want to hit a single exposed target for a lot of damage, spin around with this PA active to lock onto a lot of targets and then unleash the shot onto the desired target for tons of damage. Very difficult to use on small targets, recommended for fights like Falz Arms or Ragne with an easy-to-hit weak point. Works great with Zero Effort rifles as well.
-Impact Slider (Lv. 16) - RA's long range, distance closing PA. Astoundingly accurate (the shots almost instantly hit the target, if not instantly) granting you a powerful method of attack at a distance that allows you to close to gap and use something like Diffuse Shell or Homing Emission to follow up. Great for precise targets so use it if you feel Sneak won't get the job done (or as much as possible, if you're at the right range; it does hit REALLY hard).

Launchers:
-Divine Launcher - Long(er)-ranged shot that works best manual aiming it at the ground in front of targets for almost guaranteed headshots (depends on the enemy). Good if you feel Cluster Bullet is out of the question and Rodeo Drive won't cover enough.
-Cluster Bullet (Lv. 11+) - While somewhat obsolete because of the way Super Hard enemies behave, Cluster is still fantastic at hitting weakpoints for lots of damage at mid-range. It has a very limited scope of range that takes practice to work with, but always look for opportunities to hit with it. Manual aim is useful if you want to aim the shot past an undesirable target.
-Rodeo Drive (Lv. 11+) - Fantastic mobile PA that allows you to smash through crowds for high damage. Rodeo can cover close to mid-range enemies if you can line it up well and it headshots very handily. If neither of the above two seem viable, Rodeo is almost always a good option.
-Crazy Smash (Lv. 16 preferred) - A rather unique PA that hits pretty hard at 16 and comes with a distinguishing trait: it can knock away 99% of regular enemies that are otherwise immune to knockdown (minus Malmoths, fuckers). Otherwise unstoppable Cyclonedas that would usually harass your party can be put to a stop with a good Crazy Smash.
-Flame Bullet (Lv. 16) - I would comment on this PA more, but I don't actually have 16 yet. Very easy to set up Standing Snipe with and lasts for quite a while as long as you hold the button down. Manual aim is very much preferred for this move for headshots. Probably good to use in SH where enemies are constantly running up to you.
-Cluster Bullet - For that rare Code Rescue, this seems like the best option for dishing out lots of hits to Funji. I could be wrong on this, but it seems pretty effective. Don't bother using this much otherwise.

Gunslash:
-Additional Bullet (Lv. 11+) - RA's absolute highest coverage PA. Hits in a sort of small, but long rectangular range and near-guaranteed headshots targets for solid damage. If you're soloing or in a 4-man party, this is probably your go-to option if you don't think you can set up a Launcher PA. If you time the JA just after using AB once, you can get Standing Snipe bonus for it.
-Aiming Shot (Lv. 16) - A long-range charged PA that helps fill in the gap for RA's toolkit. Manual aim is largely preferred for using this as it is most useful for hitting targets that most of the regular RA toolkit will struggle to hit consistently (like Rockbear's face).
-Thrillersplode (Lv. 16 preferred) - A close-range PA that requires a bit of experimentation. I've commonly seen this used to craftily hit Gu/Ga Wondas on the backside by manipulating the detonated cartridge behind it (even though you're using the PA directly in front of it). Not typically used for general mobbing though as Additional will usually be more efficient.

Sad as it is, yes, Ranger is very dependent on Lv. 16 PAs to make things work out (not that they were bad before, but Super Hard definitely exposed some weaknesses in them). But when you do have them, it really does make an awesome difference in your playstyle. RA's become my favorite just for how varied their toolkit is. You have to work for your damage, but damn do you hit like a truck when you do it right.

As for manual aiming, I left some tips on individual PAs but it does come down to what you want to accomplish with them. Divine Launcher is generally desired for use during manual, while Cluster works well with both auto and manual. Aiming Shot is almost explicitly manual because of what it's used for (easy targeting of non-targetable weakspots). Almost all rifle PAs work fine with auto/lock, but there's rare occasions to use manual.

Feb 18, 2014, 04:37 PM
For GU,
-Infinite Fire - Your go-to PA for many different purposes, most commonly moving in on your target, mob or boss. Its mobility makes it very easy to get in Zero Range for bonus damage and GU's with GM are virtually invincible while using this PA. Do note that moving while using this (or almost any ranged PA for that matter) does give you reticule bloom, reducing the accuracy of your shots so either move in more or stand still.
-Heel Stab - A solid, charged PA for mobbing purposes. Has rather odd line-of-sight behaviors that seem to be dependent on how close a target is to you relative to others (it doesn't seem to hit targets behind the one closest to you). It's best used to try to hit a cone of enemies curved out in front of you, and you can even turn during it as well so try to set it up so you can spray from left to right and hit lots of targets with it. The two heel stabs also hit pretty hard as well so make use of them if appropriate. Also, it seems to suffer from an oddity that prevents Fury Combo Up if you jump and release it so keep that in mind if you're GU/HU.
-Messiah Time - Your ultimate bossing tool, used to close in on an exposed weak point and deal tons of damage to it. But don't underestimate its ability to destroy mobs either. Messiah's shots pierce targets so you can dive into a cluster with its invincibility (only during the shooting phases) and hit them all for great damage if they're all clustered up (usually by Force Zondeel). If you're struggling to set this move up properly, the best way to gauge the right distance is to run up to your target, flip backwards from it and then move in with Messiah Time.
-Elder Rebellion - While never used as much compared to its pre-S Roll JA days, Elder still possesses high precision and long-range making it viable for safer damage dealing (and it's not a half bad Chain Finisher too if you don't think you can move in). Combined with charged Aerial Shooting, you can put yourself in a very safe position to snipe with this PA.

If I missed anything else crucially important, feel free to say so.

How do you hit anything with messiah time? I have to roll to buff the damage but even if i lock on and roll to the side im still out of range for most of the pa. The only time ive really used it is on range after all of her legs are broken, but even then the first part doesnt hit much.
It's generally for hitting stationary weakpoints or clustered enemies only. Walk up to the target so that you're practically touching it, then flip away and start Messiah Time.

I have 1260 crimson fragments left to collect to afford my last unit piece from Forest XQs

Would it be more beneficial to look for stone farming parties on a 50% boost day or go for the full runs? I'm not interested in the catalysts or the XQ stone weapons but that's what most people want to do when it comes to Forest. Hence, I ponder if its worth my while to just buck up and go with those kinds of parties.

You should always be running 31-35 (preferably on a rare drop boost day) for fragments.

You'll get like 80~99 each time with proper boosts.

How do you change a cast's head?

I'm browsing during the maintenance (has it been said how long that will be? still looking around the thread/forums for a place to learn about down time) and I see a fashion thread where casts have different heads. I've never found a head, there's no head section on the market, and I have no head option in the Beauty Salon?

For cast heads, you change cast heads at the salon when changing face.

Think of cast heads as hair. It's tickets, basically. Cirnopedia and JP wiki will list all the tickets so you can see kind of what it looks like. I say kind of because just like hair it may end up looking ultra-stupid on your character. Good luck! (Also head parts appear at the beginning of hair listing in the makeup counter)

Just in case you don't know where the makeup counter is (or whatever it's called)... Go to shop area, stare at the stairs, take the right side and there is the counter! Costs nothing to change hair/head parts but changing color of hair/head parts costs real money.

Actually your info is 50% false because of use cast since casts are males and caseal are their female counterpart. (he asked for males and what you kinda said refers to females aka caseals)

As I stated above you: Cast head (casts are males) are head/facial changes whereas caseals (female counterpart of casts) only have 1 head/facial part and the rest being just hair styles.

Cast head parts are found in face changes whereas caseal hair styles are found in hair style changes (lamia face is the only caseal head part)

But yes they are tickets and are normally friggin expensive as hell.

The fact that he was asking for males, kinda made me wanted to point things out as you where referring to caseal/females.

It really isn't confusing but yea it came down from the older games (the majority of JPs and JPs that can speak bit English that I played with normally refers female casts as caseals)

Also coming from a game that has majority of characters being females, casts are easily and normally defined for males and caseals as females.

Yes, you can change your head parts and hair for free once you have them. No need to eat a hair ticket each time you want to get a haircut.

However, I don't remember anymore, but pretty sure that hair tickets are bound to your character, and not to your account. So, while you will be able to switch to and from that hair as much as you want on that character, you will have to buy that ticket again if you want another character or a support partner to be able to use it, too.

Yes, you can buy Cast Head tickets from the Player Shops using Meseta. Once you use the ticket the head that it gives you is permanently unlocked for that character and any support partners that belong to that character. Just like accessory tickets.

LR spike shouldot set would actually get crapped on once extended. The thing got something like 50hp and 6% strike resist by piece that are hidden. I still use mines as my swapping tank units.

The rest of the LR unit can be extended for the most part. Just choose the look/set bonus you want.

Snow kitty units (Schloss? Schlacht? Whatever-it's-called set) lasted me a good while, and they aren't that hard to get, despite being 10☆. Same goes for Ragne and Varder units, but getting those requires more time. The blue Fen set has decent defenses, strike resistance, and should be pretty cheap now that it drops like crazy in tower defense. There's also extended units, which give you some crazy defenses, but lack any resistances and have very steep stat requirements to equip. There's probably more, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Has less suction range and loses its linear AoE property too, though.

Sometimes I toss in a charged Sazan just to get all the mobs grouped together before spamming uncharged ones.

Really? I've noticed sazan's range is buggy as hell, where sometimes uncharged will grab things that charged won't and sometimes it'll damage things that are way too far away with random tics, but miss with others (and sometimes it won't suction the enemy very well, if at all).

I figured it was just a really convoluted tech that they were trying to salvage with big numbers, as usual.

You just have to get lucky.

I'm assuming you're doing the quest: "V. Caves Boosted Enemies III".

I suggest that you spam the Subdue Caterdra'n quest on the "Special Boost Day" which gives "100% Rare Enemies for All Quests." I think this will help, since I have noticed that on such days, I tend to get more boosted enemies. The next one up is on 2/25/2014 Japan Standard Time.

Because I don't know where you're from, please see the link below for the time:

Also, make sure that you are in fact trying to subdue a Level 41+ Caterdra'n.

During 100% Rare Enemies Boost Days, I used to spam V. Caves for Impact Slider 16, and I would get boosted Vol rather frequently... along with the occasional B.Drall. Am I just lucky (or unlucky since during that time I was hunting for Impact Slider 16 and not getting B.Drall)?

Hey, I'm trying to unlock desert exploration. I need to beat a quest to recover ore, but I don't understand how to succeed. I get to the last area and nothing happens. I kill some stuff, wander and fill the whole map... and nothing... no boss, no objective, no nothing.

I beat this once before, and I think there was a collection event where I found three sky blue crystals on the ground and brought them to a triangular teleporter thing, but I don't know how to actually trigger that event.

How do I trigger it?

It should be just spawning in the last area, but it's basically some machines on the ground that you have to use while the shiny white circle is around them until the bar fills up (you will see what I mean once you encounter them).

I understand how to do the event.

I do not know how to START the event.

To get desert exploration I have to beat the whole thing in 15min. Even just running past all the enemies I'm not even in the 3rd area for 5-7min because of how big the 2nd area is. I can't even look for the entrance by looking around in the distance because there are multiple 'no entry' caves.

I have literally watched the timer go from 10min to 18-20min in the 3rd area and still never had the event even start. There has to be some kind of trigger or else how could anyone ever do Desert Exploration?




EDIT--
Okay, just tried again and got three tiny maps, and the event started almost immediately when I entered area 3.

Guess it's just random? :/

Rewards from completing Emergency trails are random. Rare boosters, class/subclass do not affect your chances. It is completely and 100% random.

IIRC, it operates on the same basis as Element Weak Hit meaning the target needs to be weak to your weapon/technic's element. Holding Current does not have any special elemental properties as far as I know.

You can do the latter, just sub the appropriate class for the weapon needed to enable PA usage(as example Hunter subclass for Wired Lance, so BRHU).
For bossfight, you can first weaken it using katana/ any preferred weapon, and when the operator announce 'it's weaker', you can change to the respective weapon needed and whack abit more until it's dead.
You can also wait until the operator said 'It has a little health' but it's abit risky, you may kill it even before the announcement happen due to lag or something. Good luck :3

Actually, the only one I think you NEED to change your sub for is the Techer CO, as you can't melee attack with a talis. I was able to unlock gunner on my Br/Hu by using JA's on an all-class rifle and launcher.

Yes you can do that too, but been able to use PA/Tech is better IMO xD

And even though you cannot melee attack with Talis, you can still do damage with its normal attack, but as with other normal attacks, they are very weak thus my recommendation to sub class to enable the PA usage. More of a convenience nonetheless :)

What exactly is the difference with boosted, or tainted, or infected, or rare enemies? I cant seem to find info on this.

From my experience it seems the rare versions have higher hp, and infected ones hit harder. Then some of them have purple flowers growing out of their head that shoot at you?

IndigoNovember
Feb 22, 2014, 03:08 AM
"Boosted," "tainted," and "infected" mean the enemy has a stat increase whereas "rare" means the enemy is a different enemy altogether. For example, a "boosted"/"tainted"/"infected" Vol Dragon would be a Vol Dragon whose name is in red and has, in N through VH difficulties, some kind of plant attached to it ranging from a bulb to a fully grown flower, whereas in the SH difficulty, it'll be this odd living thing (like claws or a flower with an eye) that will shoot orbs at you. On the other hand, a "rare" Vol Dragon will be renamed into a Burn Draal which has a different drop table and can also be "boosted"/"tainted"/"infected."

Maninbluejumpsuit
Feb 22, 2014, 04:03 AM
boosted, or tainted, or infected

Those are synonyms for one game mechanic.

Enemies have an additional weak point in the infection core, but typically hit harder/have slightly more HP, and their names will show up in red. On SH, the infection core can leech health from you to heal the enemy when you're hit, fire lasers, counter attack with explosive orbs, or be a combination of some of those traits.

Infection cores from N-VH give the enemy a red tint. On SH, purple.


or rare enemies?

Similar, but differently colored/named enemies known for dropping rare PAs/tech disks.
Ex: noire drall is a rare vesion of dragon ex with the voice of an energetic girl for some reason. It is brownish-black with tan crystal parts instead of the normal pale gold color with light blue crystal parts. Can drop disks for guilty break and nagrants.

Rare enemies do not count as their normal counterpart for anything requiring them.

not pro TAer so I usually get 3 runs in with randoms, sometimes only 2 but those usually don't end up S rank anyway
basically if I use it at the end of run 1, it will have a few minutes left after run 3. But before this I used one at the beginning of a run to test the drops and it messed up the timing and all.

What should a free player do with their mag, on a character that they want to do all classes on?

Pure DEX?

you have 2 characters slots, not one and a dex mag is actually the worst thing you can do for multiple classes since weapons for classes rarely use dex outside of katanas/bows/gunslashes so you will not only have lower attack power generally but also will have access to only lower tier weapons, dex itself doesn't add damage so there is that also
fyi tech classes are easily the worst damage dealers and being a support doesn't really require a tech mag so i guess you should make one char for ranged attack, and one for striking attack
