Quick Questions? Come here for quick answers!

[Kondibon]

A player went yandere on my ass and is harassing and blackmailing me, telling me that if I leave him he will report me and that he has 85 friends reporting already me on basically nothing... "breaking his heart" he says, while he destroyed mine with his constant harassment as I calmly told him I did not want him as a lover just a friend. How serious should I take this? I already blacklisted him.This doesn't sound like a quick question, or even the kind of question you should be asking on a PSO forum... I don't think there's any way anyone could give you any educated answers without more information.

EDIT: If your question is literally just how seriously you should take it then, I don't see why you would expect anyone here to know, since it's probably someone you know better than us.

black list and move on, hell if your that scared move ships and even though, a bunch of Gaijin sending in reports will most likely get that automated message saying this game is for JP players only etc. If i was in your situation i wouldnt take it serious but i/we dont know the full story so ya

much as i would like this to black list (or possibly find out theyre already on it), mods wont allow this

Yeah, he was probably a bored troll with nothing to do. I will just ignore him, remember people, never be too nice to anyone on Ship 2. He is not the only insane person I have met on this accursed ship.

OK, it's been close to 4 weeks since I moved from the dying ship 06 to ship 02 and I have to ask, what the hell is up with players filling up floor 11 to 13 only to move to other floors during EQ? Half the time, there's only 2 games setup on each of those floors, so I need to quit my quest and join on some other floor, wasting my 20K premium drink in the process.

Also, why won't people join a party half the time? Don't they know there's 40% Triboost by doing so?

some ppl still have the button set to "block match" and others dont or know to start in thst block. so blocks tend to be scattered during EQs. throw a PT maker at the gate once your down, your most likely to get ppl to join depending on EQ and as long as u didnt hit block match which would be pointless because not everyone wants to hop blocks. but yes, you will get ppl in say Dragon Eq who are not in PTs who will not join when a maker is down, just how ppl are.

[Flaoc]

the answers simple.. people always say something in party so fk socializing even the tiniest bit LUUL

There are also some folks out there like abandoning the quest after it's over, which forces all party members back to the lobby while they are busy looting. For people who don't join other parties, I can't blame them I blame Sega.

Block 11 (and 12 & 13 during prime time) are completely full of afk people

at least that's what I say

[ZER0 DX]

Multiple stupid questions incoming: How does affixing an Atra weapon work? Do the four S abilities each take up a slot leaving only room for four standard affixes? If so how would I go about getting all 4 abilities I want on the Atra along with all 4 of the S class abilities? Do they all go on at once or do I need to find some way to manage upslotting? I have a 5 slot Union DB with Astral Soul, a Fornis which I can put Phrase Weak on to, and I can save up for an Elegant Power if I sell a few things off. I'd definitely like to get those transferred over. Assuming I can only do 4, what else should I aim for? Power VI? How hard is it to get that and transfer it over? I'm a complete moron when it comes to affixing so if it's as convoluted as I think it is I'm literally going to need someone to type out step by step instructions on how to do the whole process.

i would say the majority are afk but i mean, you go to UQ block and only see 2 MPA's and packed lobby of afk's for no reason

the SSA's each take a slot and you can only have one of each number on the weapon aka you cannot transfer a SSA 1 with 20% pp recov with another SSA 1 that has increased Crit on to the same weapon

If you were planning to use all 4 slots and want to add other stuff, you will need to be upslot higher like 7's to allow a Soul,atk,stat+the other 4 SSA's on it. the SSA 4 is the native +35 ability for all weapons that support a SSA aka a SAF. each SSA is 100% transfer even on upslotting. If you wish to add more SSA's to a Val/Atra, you will need other weapons with your specific SSA you want affixed on it, doesnt matter when you put it on just make you have them ready when you do your final step. If you want to swap your SSA 4 by converting to another weapon you can but you need more Gold materials and its suggested you do this before making any final affixing changes.

i might have over explained or not enough but feel free to ask, its not as bad as it seems

[ZER0 DX]

Pretty good explanation actually, thanks. Just had a friend walk me through the whole thing in game too so I think I got the hang of it now. Biggest hurdle right now is the insane prices for everything... time to sell that Coat Doublis camo I suppose.

It's a late response, I know, but some of the people doing cross-block matching might have hit it accidentally. Happens to me occasionally if I'm not really paying attention. Also, personally, I won't join a party if the EQ allows for multiple runs and I know I won't be able to do more than one. Most of the people are probably afk, but some may actually be trying to be considerate.

Thank you. It's not translated so I didn't notice it 'cause I'm absolutely zero at japanese.

[doomdragon83]

Thank you. It's not translated so I didn't notice it 'cause I'm absolutely zero at japanese.

In case you didn't know, to get an S-rank and qualify for the campaign, as a non-Hero, you must start from the very beginning, not from a checkpoint. Also must take less than 2000 damage total.

[Silent_Flower]

Bottom option is start from the beginning. Starting from a checkpoint would deducted 100 pts from 2nd condition. 2000 damage limit is the first.

[the_importer_]

Are Omnibus Quests on Normal the equivalent of Extra Hard? They feel harder than Super Hard since enemies usually die quickly in that mode. Also, how do you get an S-Ranking anyway? I've tried doing one that I've completed before without barely getting hit, killing as fast as I could, but I still got an A ranking :(

[Silent_Flower]

Considering that mobs in "Why I am here?" are level 80, I consider the difficulty to be the same as extra hard. Thou UQ Lillipa only has one difficulty.

I personally cheese it via jump ring + launcher trick. Kill all Kaiser (because they can launch rockets), Yuguldrahda because they shoot orbs at you, and few others that also can hit you in the air.

I went as Ra/Br since I had a mag with max dex instead standard Hu because I just don't deal enough damage before they start attacking me and forcing me to play a losing defensive battle.

To be fair, I had no fear of getting killed or even be on the defense as a Fo/Te, but in the stage I tried, the 2 Gwanahda, the Dark Ragne as well as a few minor enemies like El Ahda and Ga Wonda are real sponges at Lv80, it just takes time to kill them. Which still begs the question, how do you get an S-Ranking? Is it a question of time?

You can take as much time as you need, you just need to take less than 2000 damage over the course of the entire Quest. Talis might be a way to go for the mobs, since the majority of them are susceptible to Zondeel.

An early one of EP1, the one where the darkers attack the city and you team up with Melphonsina before she leaves with Regius.

No joke. When I did it for the first run, I was shock how bad I did (got around B-rank). When I did a 2nd run, I was more careful, but still took way too much damage and ended with a A. So later runs, I was doing the mission as fast as a snail, making sure I take as little as damage as possible and abort if I took more than 500-1k, which is hard because the damage I was taking comes in bursts.

Even the tweaker said that Crimson Castle Crusher would be on at the time that emergency maintenance is supposed to start so it's all pretty confusing.

Well, there was no announcement of the EQ 15 minutes prior to when it would have appeared, so I'm gonna assume that the servers will be down and log off accordingly.

The emergency maintenance page on the official site said that they'll reschedule this Crimson Castle Crusher and give us stuff

2.) I can't find out the name of the outfit that Xie is wearing right now in the latest scratch. Anyone know what name it is, or JP name?

[Halaniwa]

I see people with Crazy Online status titles that are not "possible" but possible to put. Like putting five stars. Multicoloring letters and all kinds of crazy stuff how do i do that?

[Dark Mits]

Color can be done using tags. For example, if you type in the custom status "[blu]So[red]nic", your status would say "Sonic" with "So" being blue and "nic" being red.

Weird characters aren't weird, they're just not easy to input with keyboard, unless you know its Alt+xxxx shortcut. If you're on Windows, the easy way is to open Character Map (it's a utility all versions have afaik), then scroll through the list to find what you want to input, and copy it from the field at the bottom. Please note that not all characters can appear in PSO2.

[nguuuquaaa]

Stars are just unicode characters (★☆)
For colors, refers to this (english, outdated but still relevant) (http://ohpso2.wikia.com/wiki/Chat_Commands) or this (japanese, updated) (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%83%81%E3%83%A3%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3% 83%BB%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%AF%E3%83%BC %E3%83%89).

Is there any downside to hatching eggs, and raising pets, when you are in early game and not playing summoner.
Just to get it done and get some space in the storage, without having to sell them.

i remember reading 600% (which i may be confusing it for PSU's cap 600%) but i also remember reading 1000% but its near impossible atm to even reach that. little foggy on the memory but i feel this was discussed around the release of the game but i dont want to dig for past streams to find out. like when ppl asked about mechanics etc that sega still hasnt mentioned that are in the background of the game

That cutscene appears after the normal [Loser] EQ (I don't think it will appear after Profound Invasion) so unlocking it the normal way is going to rely entirely on the RNG of the few non-scheduled EQs we get. You can see that scene in your Event Chronicle in your MyRoom without needing to unlock it, though. Also, judging by the fact that you don't know who [Double] is, then you may have missed the cutscene that comes at the end of the normal [Elder] EQ, too.
That said, you can also view both those scenes in their appropriate story location if you play the Omnibus versions of Ep1 and Ep2.

So I just tried Solo PD for the 2nd time today. Halfway through the battle with Double, I realized that he was only weak to Light. Is my memory playing tricks on me or was he weak to Ice 2 years ago? Also, is PD's pattern different for the solo quest, or is it just that I'm not giving him damage quick enough for him to do the patterns he did back in the EQ?

When was the last time you played [PD]? I ask because they did update the EQ with new attacks and patterns in late June 2016, which included making Double only weak to Light.

EDIT: Did SEGA give any reason why they have removed Double's Ice weakness? Seems strange that is the only DF form not to have a non-light weakness.

The cars can't keep up with Ilzonde, out run them if they start to get annoying. It's a good strategy to let them explode into puddles near by for Anti though. If you have Massive Hunter ring you can also try to tank them with Resta. Also don't forget to make use of Grants as much as possible when Double is moving or spinning. Those little hits add up (especially now that Grants has non zero DPS) and can cancel some of Double's actions if you break feet at the right time.

[the_importer_]

The entire update was to make the EQ more challenging.

They should have brought back the old one for soloing. I'll give this thing one more shot, but if I can't get my S-Ranking, screw those 200 SG.

Actually, I just did another battle and only used Grants on Double, killed it in 4 minutes. But since the game loves to fuck with me, PD killed me with one hit using it's ramming attack :(

Also, why does the game say that I can restart the trigger 3 times?

[Aexorcet]

There is a grace period for every trigger (3 minutes?), if you quit or disconnect before the grace period is over, you can restart the quest up to 3 times without actually using another trigger. I still managed to lose a VR trigger to a 630 just after the grace period ended, but it's nice that it's there just in case you have a net hiccup right after you accept the quest.

Solo PD has a few one shot attacks yeah, but I think the worst of it comes from some of the bit combos it can do. I did a few runs last week and had some bad luck with those. If you have a few spare badges you can get one of the 2017 weapons for the damage reduction (40%) potential. I don't know if that's enough to survive every individual attack, but it's a lot of extra defense.

[Tippo]

That cutscene appears after the normal [Loser] EQ (I don't think it will appear after Profound Invasion) so unlocking it the normal way is going to rely entirely on the RNG of the few non-scheduled EQs we get. You can see that scene in your Event Chronicle in your MyRoom without needing to unlock it, though. Also, judging by the fact that you don't know who [Double] is, then you may have missed the cutscene that comes at the end of the normal [Elder] EQ, too.
That said, you can also view both those scenes in their appropriate story location if you play the Omnibus versions of Ep1 and Ep2.

Oh? So you have to do EQs to get the full story, I didn’t know that. And [Elder] EQ?!?! So you actually get to fight Dark Falz Elder?! I thought he just flew off after his revival in Episode 1 and that you wouldn’t get to fight him until later Episodes -_- Well, that sort of drastically changed the story for me, ended up missing a bit of crucial storyline since the Matter Boards didn’t show that there was more to the story 😓

While I’m at it, may I ask whether Omnibus or normal playthrough would be better to play Episode 1-3? It seems normal playthrough isn’t really clear at times and can lead to missing parts of the story (or at least for me). Is there any differences between the two? Like does either one have different scenes, content, etc? Thanks~

The Omnibus Quests present everything in a more linear fashion, though it does also cut the fat in some cases (like not needing to run certain scenarios multiple times), as well as moving certain events around compared to where they are in the Matterboards. The Ep.1 and Ep. 2 Omnibus Quests do have one extra/modified scene compared to the Matterboard version each.
Also, if you are running the Matterboard version, you can always check your Event Chronicle in your MyRoom to see any cutscenes you may have missed as it has the main story on a timeline and all subevents are sorted by character.

Music discs (and the occasional Silver Tokyo Tickets when I have over 20m to spare) are the only things that I'll buy there. I use to have a great music collection back on Ship 06, but lost it all when I moved to Ship 02. I'll be damned if I pay 10m for a music disc to a scalper, so fun scratches and that shop are about my only ressources.

uh no thats terrible as it offers no damage buff at all beyond 10% from latent.. still not sure if hes getting the atra for gunner or hero (cause atra tmg for hero is bad.. val is good for hero but thats another story since thats just for super fast reloads)

but for gu for S1: double edged sword 4% damage 8% more received or the one from atra gs +35 for 2% damage no negative effect S2: 10% pp reduct S3: the crit strike one for 4% damage s4: idunnolol can skip if nothing you want

[final_attack]

Well, though depends on build ..... from damage calculator, mine's pretty close to Demonia (2% difference, I think (185 Demonia vs 150 Atra)), with S1 : 2% damage ... S3 : 4% crit-damage ... with addition of life steal on hit from S4.

The gap should be closer with S1 DoubleEdge ..... but I won't recommend it.

Usable for both Hr and Gu as far as my experience using it. Especially that life steal for Gu ._.

Necky EQ isnt even in rotation anymore, your forced to wait on TD's to show up randomly. That one horrible Shironia LQ doesnt exist in the current LQ line up anymore so TD is your only way. You have triggers you can get too but right now Vibras almost none existent

I meant like a Necky CF return. There are seriously not enough tower defenses though, maybe one every two weeks? So many scheduled EQ's making it impossible

Title Reward for getting a Val weapon to +35. They can also drop in Rematch that's getting added next week, but random drop Chronos have the same drop rate as 14* weapons.

[Anduril]

Are dexterity and equipment extensions a complete waste of time?

Unless you are a Bo or Br who wants to take advantage of each class' respective Mag Skill with no intention of being Hero (unless you have a separate pure ATK mag for Hero Mag), or are using a crafted, red, blue, Invade, or 1-6* weapon, then yes, DEX is a waste of time. Weapon extension is pretty dead with the mass availability of 13* weapons, but special recipe Unit extension can still be good if you aren't rocking a full set of 12*s or Austere Units.

[ArcaneTechs]

Thats the problem, Necky CF's already had a 2nd rotation, i really doubt its coming back any time soon. i wouldnt count on it, your either better off dropping the CF or i guess hold on to it for those TD's to show up, theyre in random EQ roll but hell, good luck with that man. I dont even think TD4 is scheduled anymore, part of the random rotation.

[Saffran]

TD4 is available in the trigger shop fairly often though. Though I guess technically TD3 would be better. I have absolutely no use for SG so I would try there, but that's only me.

※ This announcement will be sent to those who selected "【EP1 ~ 3】 mode" at the time of regular maintenance on Wednesday, January 10 (Wednesday).

In order to improve the difficulty of understanding due to the mode being divided, we will abolish "【EP 1 ~ 3】 mode" at the update in late March 2018.

Also, due to the abolition of "【EP1 ~ 3】 mode", we will carry out the specification change such as abolition of "Matter board" together.

For details, please refer to the compatibility list of the player's site "About" [Abolition of "[EP1 ~ 3] mode" 」.

So does this mean episodes 1-3 are being removed entirely?

[ZER0 DX]

According to the recent live stream, yes. The only way to play Episode 1-3 content will be through the Omnibus when that update arrives and anything tied to the original Ep 1-3 mode like certain titles, partner cards, and matter board exclusive drops will become unobtainable. If you haven't powered through it yet, now would be a good time to get it out of the way.

Just for the record, Qli got power creeped since Nemesis-NT/Slave-NT became a thing, but the power gap is really close. Atra will definitely overpower your Qliphad assuming same affixes, but Atra has the advantage of being able to be beefed up with SSAs to widen the power gap further; stacking multiple damage boost SSAs can push your power limit close to "real" 14* weapons on top of a unique S4 utility effect of your choice.

So, somebody help me out here. I have the units I desired, and I created enough fodder to make one piece with the affixes I need from long ago. I'm working with the Izane set right now, and I'm trying to throw trash fodder on it to make it 6 slot. However, I seem to be royally messing up here. I spent nearly 2mil and a bunch of +30 ability affixes boosters trying to put trash on my unit. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I really unlucky? I'm not broke, but going from 30 boosters to 9 was a painful lesson. I saved those for actual fodder with specific affixes. These down slot penalties are getting to me hard.

How many materials are you using to upslot?

[Tyreek]

You mean the fodder I'm using to for trash affixing? I'm going one at a time. Using what remains in my storage to make space. Does that affect down slot penalties?

[Altiea]

You mean the fodder I'm using to for trash affixing? I'm going one at a time. Using what remains in my storage to make space. Does that affect down slot penalties?

Yes. More fodder consumed at one time mitigates upslot penalty (caps out at 3 fodder).

[GoldenFalcon]

You mean the fodder I'm using to for trash affixing? I'm going one at a time. Using what remains in my storage to make space. Does that affect down slot penalties?

Using 2 fodder instead of 1 makes the upslot multiplier 0.55 instead of 0.45 (for going to 6 in your case)

At lv70, you get neither, just EXP FULL if you don't do Koffie's CO to unlock lv71-75. You get HR Cubes at lv75, and lv80 (which will become available to unlock once you hit lv75).

What use is there for 13* weapons you can't or don't intend to use?
Expending on what Altiea said, with the introduction of Atra 14*, 13* now can be desynthesized for gold material (strike, ranged or tech category), which you need 999 off to upgrade the Val #13* to Atra 14* at Zieg (or change the Atra weapon type, same cost). The silver variant can be made out of 11* and 12* and can be traded at the recycle shop 10->1. The weapon desynth give a 2nd material also needed, but you usually get enough when making the gold variant and it's universal across the 3 weapon types.

Side note: Why would someone want to change their Atra weapon category? Beside simply having decided to change main class, SSA #4 are weapon category unique as their SAF.

HP and PP are considered separate from the other stats, so All doesn't actually include those two. Astral Soul gives only 35 HP (and 5 PP) total.

Does Astral Soul double dip into HP with +35 all stats seeing it already adds 35HP separately?
what do you mean? if your referring to Zein/Quilph 3rd pot then yes it will double, otherwise ya, 35hp with other stats like usual

Hi, I'm having trouble finding an item that was released in a scratch 9 months ago.
If it doesn't appear in the P search does that mean there are currently none in the market?
Seems a bit odd if so since it's from a 2017 scratch which wasn't that long ago.

The item in question is: Cornrows 16 (コーンロー１６)
I'm also on ship 2.

Holy crap 51m! Thanks for checking, strange I've been checking for about 4 days, think I'm doing it wrong or perhaps it wasn't available earlier.

As soon as I saw the fan drawing for this hair in the competition I fell inlove with it but I was away in another country studying so I wasn't able to buy it in release which is a shame. 51m is steap but worthit... wonder how long it would take to earn 50m with maximum effort... hmm

Thanks again you're a star!

Last post answered my question. The +35 all stats does not add as HP on top of the +35 HP the soul comes with. Funny you mentioned Qliphad since that's what i was planning it for. +70 atk and+140 hp would have been a bit too good to be true with Antithesis.

Are the servers still down? I can't log on its showing them all offline.

[ZER0 DX]

Yep, on the second attempt. Pretty cool cutscene when you finish it off too.

[Lyrise]

Yep, on the second attempt. Pretty cool cutscene when you finish it off too.

Same on both, I liked the cutscene.

The dragon rematch is really good at exposing frauds people - the first time I ran it, there was one player who kept taking the sword, not charging it, even after we told them they should charge it to reveal the weakpoints. Needless to say, this person was the one who failed the rematch for us dying 3 times as well.

[doomdragon83]

In my runs, people were being shy about using the sword so I had to go and hit weakpoints with it. Some GU/HU ended up getting killed 3 times.I really don't mind if people not confident in dodging take the sword as long as the open up weak points with a fully charged slash; running out of HP with the sword won't count towards the limit.

[GreenArcher]

Are there any new super abilities in the Dragon rematch?

Swiki says there are orders for unlocking levels at lv65, 70 and 75. I looked further into it and the one you got should unlock lv75 for you.

so i've been kind of on again/off again since shortly after deus esca happened. my gear is pretty dated at this point (saiki units) since before taking a break i was waiting for the clear set of consensus picks for best 12* units but one never really emerged at that time.

what units do i want (and is the standard still soul/atk3/mod/boost, or is there a new "you should be doing this" standard for units?). currently i have a bunch of various 12* boss units sitting in my bank (ray stuff, mother stuff, deus esca stuff). should i be affixing those, or is there something much better i should be focused on obtaining?

There are a lot of choices with units currently. Austere 11* is buyable and still a bit better than 12* statwise (rear and arm with 12 leg, Austere leg is nearly useless now). If you're going full 12 set:

Qliphad (upgraded Zeinesis) gives you good PP and great attack with low HP. I think it's one of the better 12 sets and if you can get enough HP out of your affix it's hard to beat.

Zeinesis is HP focused with moderate defense. Low equip requirements make it great for low level characters.

Union (upgrade of Ray, which is now farmable with 2018 badges) is a nice well rounded set. I avoided using the whole set because the combined HP/PP/attack were less than Austere + Union leg.

Ray is Union with 25 less HP and some lost def per unit, upgrade it to Union if you can by doing solo PD triggers.

Astra set is similar to Ray, but it doesn't have an upgrade. Less attack if I recall, but a small gain in HP and PP.

Izane has lots of def and HP, but no PP, so it's not great in general. It might work in a hybrid Qliphad/Izane set, but I don't think the final result will end up far off from full Union. Zeinesis might be a better choice in general.

BQ set (I forget the name) has Astra like stats I think. It's getting an upgrade at some point which might be a strong set. I don't have any of these units and haven't payed much attention to them.

There are also some units that don't (yet) have a full set. They're rarer and most are considered subpar. An except is Weila Board which is like a more HP/PP balanced Qliphad with even more attack. It also drops with a Receptor Soul Catalyst affixed to make it easier to get Ether Factor Astral Soul on it.

EDIT - corrected by Altiea

You're confusng Soul Catalyst and Factor Receptor. Soul Catalyst (which comes standard on all Weila Bode) is a component for making Astral Soul, while Factor Receptor is an Eternal Tower exclusive drop that can be used to transfer Ether Factor.

Hope so, I would rather get my Class Cubes at 1.9m EXP a piece rather than getting 5 at 9m . I know it sounds strange but it feels more rewarding counting my Class Cubes that way.

thanks for the info. since set bonuses aren't really a thing right now, i'll use all the zenesis that i have (i know i have some pieces, but can't remember which ones) and fill in the blanks from there.

i assume affixing is still pretty much the same as it's always been and 4 slots is the sweet spot for getting good stats without completely destroying the bank?

As someone who hasn't delved too deeply into affixing, I'd like to ask:

How do I use Soul Receptor and Gift Receptor? What do they do?

What's the best way to get the ATK boosts up a few levels? Take, say, a bunch of Shoot III fodder items and make them into a few Shoot IV fodder items, then try to get that onto my target item?

Are there certain affixes that are considered cream of the crop? I would typically aim for an ATK stat, Spirita, a Soul that matches the ATK boost, but now that I'm dealing with 13* items, I want to make sure I'm doing my best right out of the gate.

Thanks in advance!

1. Soul Receptor allows you to transfer any Soul except Combo Souls and Astral Soul at 100% with only a single copy (Combo Souls can be transferred at 70%, Astral Soul can be transferred at 10%). Gift Receptor allows you to transfer and evolve EXP Boost, Meseta Fever, and Lucky Rise.

3. On weapons, stuff like Ether Factor, Astral Soul, Stat VI, Elegant, etc. are considered top-tier affixes. Phrase is also there, but since it's not a stat-based Affix, it's more dependent on what you're affixing and what Phrase you're dealing with.

[doomdragon83]

Awesome, thanks <3 Just wanted to make sure~

The accessories and probably the lobby action too will probably disappear and not be in the shop for the whole year. If you want those, get them asap, they'll probably get rotated out for the matching accessory in a week or two and then that disappear along with Xie.

There is no chat command to change Units in a quest, but the chat command for rings is "/sr" followed by the name of the ring with no spaces in its name. The only way to change your Units with a chat command is through the MySet chat command, "/ms#", but that only works when in the lobby.

you want to run the yamato quest. this will give you stones to make 13* weapons that have ATK6 as a SAF (get the weapon to +35 and it's a free ability with a 100% transfer rate).

if you have any of the old tokyo 13* weapons, those get upgraded with these stones and have a max cap of +35 immediately upon upgrading (so you only need 1 copy of the weapon).

[Tyroki]

When I last played it, they were mostly translated, though a few scenes weren't (though this was specifically when I was doing the Ep3 one for the recent campaign). The odd thing is that when I checked some of those same scenes in the Event Chronicle in my room, they were translated.

Sweeeet!

On the note of going through these though... during cutscenes, you tend to have to read the text at the bottom. Is there any way to scale the size of that text? I swear it's for ants D:

Or just text in general. Everything is so tiny.

(For the record, I already have text size at 1.5x. I'm just hoping there is a way to make it all bigger still.)

I've come to a bit of a halt on episode 1 of the matterboard/omnibus quests...
this particular quest has got a blue lock on it and loosely translated it says: 'Complete Client Order Koffie - Search for Gods'
I've done all Koffie's client orders besides the level cap release ones (lv80) as far as I'm aware so I'm a bit stuck, does anybody know what this is?

[Saffran]

As far as I am aware you never have to "search" in Koffie's orders. And that's blatantly ignoring the fact that there's never any talk of gods with her.
Could it be that you haven't unlocked Kuronia (Koffie gives you the order to run the quest "defeat Godetta Idetta")?
It should nt have any influence on episode 1 though...
I'm wondering if there's a story quest with an english name like "in search of gods" or so but the japanese wiki stays silent.

Yes, I was a little confused, I think this is more down to my shabby attempt at a google translate. The text wasn't select-able so I had to find an image translator, translated the whole thing to this:

" ・【遺腑索】のク'丿ァ

I could also screenshot it too if that helps. I have completed Kuronia (and all other places) so I'm really stumped on this, not sure what it's referring to. :/

[reaper527]

are there any specific L rings that people suggest for hero? it seems like most of the rings are currently geared for every other class.

alternatively, is there a list of good L rings in general that usually make sense to embed into units? the total list of rings is pretty massive. i would assume the smart move is go try to use the units for rings that are helpful for multiple classes (plus overflow for classes that need multiple l rings) and then then to wear the L rings that only help one class as rings rather than units.

i'm still rocking the tech charge ring from when my char was used as fo/te, and really should be switching that out for something that will actually contribute.

[Saffran]

The recognition is weird - probably trying to assign chinese or taiwanese instead of japanese - but I assume it means that you need to clear the CO to unlock the Ruins. Then you have to actually go there and clear the Ruins Exploration quest. It can be that you only unlocked it and never cleared it.

As far as I remember, MyShop tickets (マイショップ出店３０日) have always been available in the AC Store (for 700 AC).

-------------------------

One little question. I plan on adding S1: Skilled Brillance (+3% damage if HP >80%) on my Atra Sword but I would lose 45 S-ATK (since I can't upslot from 6 to 7 at the moment). I read 200 S-ATK ~= 7% damage (here (http://fulldive.nu/2015/05/11/jet-boots-bouncer-builds/)) and so, 45 S-ATK would be ~= 1,5%. Would it be worth the trouble/investment ? Thanks in advance.

PSO2 isnt on the list of selectable programs to uninstall in Program and Features in Windows like most programs typically do and I didn't see an uninstall EXE file within the pso2 folder.

Are you sure about that? I thought Phrase Weak worked like Ancient Oath, which to my knowledge does effect the power of Techs regardless of the Weapon's element (which is why Rikauteri was used in Te/Br builds).
Phrase Weak: 弱点属性で攻撃した時、与ダメージが2%上昇
Ancient Oath: 弱点属性で攻撃した時、ダメージが14%上昇する。

Ancient Oath: 弱点属性で攻撃した時、ダメージが14%上昇する。

Phrase Weak indeed works like that, so as soon as your techs match the right element, Phrase Weak will proc. Also for the affix question. You should do your best to cram both on weapon since Technique V and Phrase Weak are both amongst the most substantial affixes you put on a tech weapon, along with Soul and Elegant Booster. Phrase Weak should theoretically give you very slightly better damage than Phrase Weak though
