Finally reached Episode 4 after doing all the matter boards, anyways, I was curious how many chapters there are in Episode 4? Also what's the latest chapter for Episode 5 so far? (So I can see how far I'm behind)

Can't seem to be able to find an updated database listing all the chapters for each episode, does anyone know of one that's up to date? (JP one is fine too)

Thanks~

[ArcaneTechs]

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。
my thing is people used Ice and Light on those bows otherwise they'd get away with a fire bow for ice/light techs. if i mixed them up then i mixed them up

Do the class specific 14* weapons only drop for their respective classes? I'd Rather carry groups as Te/Hu on diarrhea shitfest dragon (Atrum) but i don't want to miss my chances on certain weapon.

Episode 4 is 8 chapters, and Episode 5 is getting it's third chapter soon.

pso2.swiki.jp has each chapter for each episode listed under "Story Board' on the side menu

They will drop regardless of what class you use. It's all RNG, though there is technically a "class boost" which should increase the chance of getting a drop specific to your class, but it doesn't prevent you from getting a drop for a completely different class.

[Moffen]

Does Historia soul boost anything? Reveries or sentence or anything? Id like to make a nice Atk/HP+PP unit affix but sim hasnt been updated for historia yet.

It's exactly Fabula Soul, except with different effects for the soul itself : combination with free field soul for Ares/Act/Till/Magi and boosts both Omega and Elder reverie by 20%

Would i get banned for livestreaming? I'm afraid to broadcast this game LOL

[エリュシオン]

Would i get banned for livestreaming? I'm afraid to broadcast this game LOL

It's highly unlikely. Lower chance to get banned from streaming than getting a 14* drop.

At level 19 with Hero Ring.... I have done the stickers round.. I have 5 stickers on me..

how many do I need to go from 19 -> 20.. ring is still @ +19 @ 19

so I am not sure

[Moffen]

Any automate hu and is experienced with it,how much HP is a safe point for you to start buying monomates instead of just dimates and trimates?

[the_importer_]

Since the small sized Crafting Room Items from the SG shop aren't as good as the Lv4 regular ones, can the be combined with the regular ones in order to get more more Great Success or Cooldown Time?

[Arakasa]

is it known how much the atra rod's S4 boosts elemental conversion? i imagine its nothing like eternal psycho drive of course,but perhaps useable in place of going through the trouble of making other rods?

[echofaith]

Rod S4 makes the unmatching element damage be the same as matching element(1/2 element of the weapon instead of 1/4). The matching element damage remains the same though, so no extra damage like EPD.

[Arakasa]

ahhh,so it would be decently viable to use as a single rod for all elements then?

[Aexorcet]

Rod S4 makes the unmatching element damage be the same as matching element(1/2 element of the weapon instead of 1/4). The matching element damage remains the same though, so no extra damage like EPD.

Just keep in mind that EPD has no damage component to the potential outside of the element convert boost. The damage increase comes out to about 11.5%. Atra with S4 is the same effect as EPD with 10% damage through the potential, it's nearly identical. EPD's damage over Atra comes from 100ish more base attack and being able to affix more attack affixes.

Yes, Atra rod S4 makes tech rainbow sets completely unnecessary for the weapon type it's added to.

It only needs one sticker IIRC.


Any automate hu and is experienced with it,how much HP is a safe point for you to start buying monomates instead of just dimates and trimates?
It depends on the content you run and the magnitude of the hits you take. I doubt I would carry monomates for the Black Dragon.

[Senshi]

So I'm trying to clear all the matter boards before they disappear forever. I'm having some issues clearing lvl 31 windira. I'm in skyscape hard and I've killed over a dozen windira, but the meter isn't progressing at all. Is there a windira in another area I'm not aware of? Thanks.

10% transfer, just like astral.

Any thoughts on this?

[Electrochemist]

Does anybody know where to find (or have a list of) all the titles in English?
Some are in Japanese and I can't translate them unfortunately.

[Gaylar]

Any automate hu and is experienced with it,how much HP is a safe point for you to start buying monomates instead of just dimates and trimates?

Like Loveless said, it really depends on what you're running, and how much damage you think you're going to take.

At 1600~1700 HP, I'd say Monomates are rather safe for anything other than Ult and rematch EQs, as long as you're able to charge parry or dodge the bigger, more telegraphed hits. This is not factoring in TE buffs, or the HP drink.

But in all honesty, the higher your HP is, the less likely its going to be for you to use up all of your mate resources. By the time Monomates become "safe" you already have enough HP that the buildup of chip damage on you doesn't matter anymore because you're likely still able to survive a big hit even at around 60% HP or so.

[Dark Mits]

At around 2000 def, and excluding the swooping he does near the end right before lots of Laconia Swords spawn, highest damage I've taken is ~650 from him hitting me with the tail when he breaks the floor to throw pieces around.
To decide if it's safe getting Monomates too for Automate, simply allow yourself to get hit by various attacks in normal (non-rematch) mode to see how much damage you take on average with your gear, and then add 20% as a safety "net". If that +20% damage is not more than 40% of your max hp, then Monomates are safe.

[ShaadeSilentpaw]

Can anyone confirm 100% that these new years triboost foods stack with standard triboosts and drop boosts?
Because I haven't seen a single 13* drop since I started using them, whereas before they would drop like candy...

I know I may just be having a terrible streak of bad luck, but I just want to check.

If it shows up in your boost list it's working. Luck is luck, streaks of nothing are completely normal. My first Dragon run I dropped 2 13's and then had another 2 drop in the next two runs. After that nothing for a long, long time. Then yesterday I managed to drop a 13* in a VH difficulty quest with no RDR (There goes my 14* drop luck).

0_o that's a lot of SG just to save a tiny bit of space.

That's finally a reason to actually use SG...
I was disapointed that it wouldn't stack, but meh.
Wait, if the cost is only 1, I can fit them in my non-premium room...

[Dark Mits]

While we're on the subject of Crafting Machines...

If I have a crafting machine in Room Layout A, its effect doesn't apply when I try to craft from Room Layout B or from the basic layout, correct?
(I know I can test that with the cd reduction machines, but I feel kind of lazy atm)

[reaper527]

dumb question, but does the "party of toughness" ring apply to the whole party or just me?

i've had my last 6 dragon runs all end in failure, and i haven't died once. if that ring reduces the whole party's damage received i might try running one of those to help out the shitbags who keep dying 3 times.

It's a personal damage reduction perk. You can combine it with the R-ring from RINA/Itsuki for a total 9,75% damage reduction.

It means it's preferable to put it in its own folder in the C drive.

I did it months ago, and tweaker generally works more consistently. I don't know why, but it just does.

[Halaniwa]

but that's where it is though, its in the path it reccomends i just got this error today randomly. I have never moved this folder.

i try moving it from the first location to desktop, then back just now

[reaper527]

Just you. It's a personal damage reduction perk. You can combine it with the R-ring from RINA/Itsuki for a total 9,75% damage reduction.

well that's a shame. so there's really nothing i can do as a hr to stop people from dying other than not reviving someone if the same person dies twice?

[Saffran]

Play Techter and get them some sweet deband cut and copius resta?

[manthisis]

Can someone give me a quick guide for grinding NT weapons?

I'm just now getting back into the game after almost 3 years absence. I have a level 74 Gu/Hu. I heard I should try to get an Atra Radda as an endgame weapon. How might I go about purchasing the right materials and meseta to grind (since the system is now new) and also grinding a 14* weapon to +35?

[Tyreek]

So I need my memory refreshed. Did a Profound Darkness(not solo) trigger exist? And does the SG shop have that in their list?

[Saffran]

Tyreek> There's a PD trigger in the shop for 200SG but I don't know if it's the solo version.

Manthisis > basically you sacrifice weapons to grind your weapon. You have to stop every 10 lv to unlock the potential you want. It costs lambda grinders for each weapon you sacrifice so you want it to be effective. To allow grinding beyond lv30 you need to sacrifice another copy of the weapon you're grinding. (example, You need to grind a Nox Cadina with another Nox Cadina to unlock levels beyond 30. This can be done at any time.)
As far as i know 14 stars weapons drop with their maximum lv35 unlocked so it's just a matter of feeding enough weapons.
Also, Atra Radda is a weapon gotten trhough material exchange so it's already lv35-ready when you get it.You can get everything through player shop so if you have the meseta that can be done quickly. (it will cost a lot though I guess)

[Anduril]

The SG shop PD trigger is the MPA version.

[ArcaneTechs]

So I need my memory refreshed. Did a Profound Darkness(not solo) trigger exist? And does the SG shop have that in their list?
its a random EQ now along with Mother, Badge shop is a solo Trigger and SG offers mpa Trigs

[Tyreek]

I'm aware the badge shop sells the solo trigger. I'm just concerned about the mpa version being available. I want to do the actual EQ, but apparently it just doesn't appear when I have time. I was at work when the EQ actually came up, and I just need to run it one more time. This is just for the sake of assurance. I have little interest in soloing the EQ, as I don't even have the funding for good affixing right now to deck my weapons and gear.

Just to assure you, yes, there is an MPA version of the PD Trigger and it costs 200SG from the SG Shop.

[Tyreek]

That makes good assurance. Now to get a good roll in the SG shop and hopefully find people who want to run the same. Thank you.

[TakemiShinnosuke]

My Rear defense is currently displaying tech defense as the default.. can I somehow switch that to S-def instead??

[Arada]

It's simply showing the highest def stat on your unit. If S-Def was higher than your T-Def on the unit., then it would show S-Def instead.

[Masu]

So I plan to re-affix my Atra rod since I did the mistake to not add 'phrase weak' as I thought it was only affecting weapon base element. However since SSA are priced a bit more reasonably, I plan to add a fourth one as well. So far I have s1: photon reduction (7%pp reduction), s3: radiating grace (pp reg 17% boost), s4: refined providence (baby epd).

I'm hesitating between another photon reduction (10%pp save) OR sturdy recovery (HP leech SSA Fornis style). So far I have 172pp and 1k HP without any weapon equipped...
Any thought is welcome!

I personally went S1: Radiating Grace (+20% PP regen rate), S2: Photon Reduction (10% PP cost reduction), S3: Vital Will (3% damage boost when HP is over 80%) since I usually find being low on HP to not be much of a problem, but if those are the two you are hard set on, Photon Reduction is probably better since Sturdy Recovery isn't quite like Fornis/Vampiric Blade from what I have gathered, rather it only has a set chance to proc.

Force might be one of the classes that benefits the least from lifesteal. However eliminating Resta/Megiverse stops will improve DPS, especially if you use P Keeper ring, and it's a nice safety net for compound usage. It does nothing for one shots though. I have stats close to yours and many attacks from Dragon rematch seem to be able to one shot me, or come close.

10% reduction in PP usage is a nice boost to sustained damage, especially outside of PPC. My Atra rod reduces PP cost by 20% total and it's really noticeable when using Ilbarta. It also increases the effectiveness of Super Treatment. I've been stacking all of this with TAJA ring as well for 68% PP cost.


I personally went S1: Radiating Grace (+20% PP regen rate)
I'm not sure if I really like Radiating Grace by itself. I think Photon Reduction is better overall. It provides more benefit outside of PPC, and doesn't care if techs are charged. RG seems to only over take it with PPC up and long tech charges. RG isn't bad, I just personally think PR gives more benefits.



Sturdy Recovery isn't quite like Fornis/Vampiric Blade from what I have gathered, rather it only has a set chance to proc.
If that's the case, then I'd probably go with PR too.

This ^
If anyone using 'sturdy recovery' could confirm this please?
I'm already leaning for Photon reduction but checked sturdy recovery price and thought "hey why not" :-P

Edit: also yes I'm using PK ring and yes I thought about sturdy recovery because of Dragon eq and prolly upcoming eqs.

Edit2: If this video is about sturdy recovery like I believe it is D: ... then yay PR all the way!

I just recently got back into the game. I have a level 74 Gu/Hu. What should be my first steps to get meseta and proper gear after being gone for over two years? What CO's should I do, and can I do anything alone? I know TACO's are good for meseta but I don't remember how to do half of them.

If I had to guess, they probably disliked how people would save their Dark Blast for the end and ignore everything else except hunar.

the easiest answer is they realized dark blast was a mistake.. also cant complain since that exp rate makes leveling alts less of a severe chore

this is going to seem like a strange question, but is anyone aware of any weird glitches where activated abilities won't show up? on my gu/hu, fury stance won't show up as an option for me when i go to add it to my sub pallet even though i have it at 10/10 on my skill tree. i only have my pb/dark blast/guard stance/massive hunter/chain trigger/show time.

I was having the same issue, so I just redownloaded the Tweaker .exe from arks-layer and replaced the one I already had; after that, it was able to update with no problem.

I just recently got back into the game. I have a level 74 Gu/Hu. What should be my first steps to get meseta and proper gear after being gone for over two years? What CO's should I do, and can I do anything alone? I know TACO's are good for meseta but I don't remember how to do half of them.

Grab the 2 Klotho CO's for running Extreme Quests, the 3 CO's for running TACO's "x" amount of times, the CO for running Harkotan, and the CO for running a TACO on Super Hard. Run Harkotan TA on very hard four times and once more on Super Hard then run the first five floors of any Extreme Quest 3 times. You should be able to solo all of this pretty easily too, since it's literally just kill every enemy that spawns til you win, no routing necessary like the older TA quests. Turning in all of these client orders will net you just under 2 mil meseta per character you do this with and it's repeatable every week. Then check Daily Orders and do any that are worth over 100k meseta, also Yerkes in Franka's Cafe has client orders for turning in rarer gathering items for 100k each.

Outside that, selling any AC scratch items or items you've had sitting in storage on the player market. Character fashion item tickets tend to be worth a small fortune if you've been holding on to some that have been out of rotation for a long time. If you get lucky and find a Val weapon drop in the LQ or Dragon EQ, those sell for incredibly varying prices based on the weapon type and special abilities it dropped with if any at all, so definitely research before listing it if you happen to find one.

Best way to get a +35 14* is to buy Val weapons from the player shop and mash them together until the max grind has a cap of +35 and 60 element. I can't stress that enough. Do that before converting it to a 14* Atra since you can't get another one without relying on an impossible drop rate and you don't want to be stuck with a weapon that will never be at it's full potential.

[Electrochemist]

So I 3 weeks ago I just came back to the game after around a 1 year break, I've been doing the LQ to level up Hero but there seems to be only ONE team running this at any one time (not even that sometimes). I remember when LQs came out before and there were loads of teams just running this all day... not sure what has happened? Have alot of people quit since I left? Are they perhaps burnt out from this LQ? Or am I missing something entirely? I heard someone mentioning an expert matchup but I'm not sure how you turn that on (?) I could be wrong about what I heard too. I don't get it because LQ holds arguably the best sword amongst other good weapons. AND its great xp.

(Ship 2 btw)

(Ship 2 btw)Multiple reasons:

1) Are you selecting to join MultiBlock group, or do you select to join a group in the same block as you are? In the 2nd case there will always be less groups since people do not need to gather in one block now to do stuff.
2) Tied to the first point, some blocks are "isolated" from others even when you select MultiBlock. For example the Beginner and Normal blocks do not get matched with players in other blocks (I think Solo Play and Recording too?). For best results, try to be in one of the Extra Hard blocks before you start the quest.
3) When you go the Quest Counter, the first menu has an option that says "Matching Settings" or something like that. There you can select to be paired with either players who have Expert on, or with players who have it off. Either way, there should be quite a few groups running it on either.
4) Maybe you logged in during off-hours. Even though Ship 2 has most of the English community, it's still primarily Japanese, so you have more chances of finding groups during Japan peak hours.

For example the Beginner and Normal blocks do not get matched with players in other blocks (I think Solo Play and Recording too?). For best results, try to be in one of the Extra Hard blocks before you start the quest.
3) When you go the Quest Counter, the first menu has an option that says "Matching Settings" or something like that. There you can select to be paired with either players who have Expert on, or with players who have it off. Either way, there should be quite a few groups running it on either.
4) Maybe you logged in during off-hours. Even though Ship 2 has most of the English community, it's still primarily Japanese, so you have more chances of finding groups during Japan peak hours.

1. Yes, mostly always multigroup but I do like to always check what blocks there are parties on and when I check 'same block' if Im on XH and 'other blocks' if not there is usually only one 12/12 or 11/12 running XH at any given time, which I thought was odd.

2. Same as response 1.

3. Ahh, I see, what is this 'expert on' can you not match with non expert if you have it ticked? this is something that must have been included when they removed XH requirement blocks, which must have been when I was on hiatus.

4. Yes this is most likely the problem now I think of it. Right now in Japan it is 8pm, and for me it's 11am as I live in the UK, however, I must be most active when it's like 3am in japan because I don't play properly til much later due to studies.

Thank you for clearing this up, this makes much more sense now.

Desynth about twenty-eight 13* weapons (specifically Ranged weapons for Goldest). You get 36 of each normally, and 63 on a Great Success. With the next LQ, you should just be able to fill up on Evleda weapons from Collection Sheets.

Depends on how many Collection File slots you have; if you are Premium, you have 5 by default, if not you have 3, and you can permanently buy an additional 2 for 800SG each from Pudding. Either way, you can fill up on the 4 ranged Evleda collection files in the current LQ, but you may need to rely on random Nox drops to since I don't think they are in any specific enemy in the LQs drop pool (and thus you cannot increase the gauge for them), but are area drops and getting one via drop will complete that section. Or you can wait until the LQ that comes out on the 7th, since that will have all the enemies needed for the sheets there. With the 48 hour cooldown, it should take you maybe a couple of weeks if you don't use SG to reduce it, and not counting any chances of random Val drops (which honestly, you can probably sell and get a decent chunk for buying the materials directly from Player Shops) or breaking down any Nox you find to make Silvadest (to trade for Goldest) and Saphads.

Refined Providence just raises the conversion percentage of off-element by 25%, making both on- and off-element have the same 1.3x multiplier. EOD is the one that then further raises the damage bonus to a 1.45x multiplier.

After playing Nova for a few years I decided to give PSO2 a spin on my PS4. Things are a lot more complicated and detailed than Nova was. I have figured out a lot of the basics through guides and trial/error, but need help with a few things:
-From my understanding the tabs at the counter are free missions at the top, join mission in progress in the middle, and I think story missions are the third tab. At the present it just gives me a bunch of tutorials under tab 3. Can I skip the tutorials at all? They are a big pain to go through, and I've done about half of them.
-I got my mag, but I'm not really sure how or if I can equip it yet.
-There is a red icon over the stand(thingy) where you can mess with your action pallete and put add ons onto your weapon. I don't know what it wants me to do.

This is true. It's pretty hard to map out the keys effectively without getting my fingers tied, though.

My current set-up that I'm trying out is:
Action 1 = left mouse click (mapping this on all palettes to normal attack0
Action 2 = right mouse click
Action 3 = Q
Shift = Weapon Action (S-Roll for gunner)
R = Palette Switch

I can't S-Roll to the right when I hold down R for the palette switch, though, because I don't have enough fingers.

Unless your TMG can use S-class abilities, then there is not. Aside from Jet Boots (which can change element with Jet Boots Gear) and Wand (which can do so with L/Wand E Change), the only way to make your weapon switch element without actually changing the element at Dudu/Monica is with the Atra DB's S4 ability which allows you to change weapon element via R/Status Effect Guard rings. Honestly, doing this is not worth it since it would require you to give up your Right Ring slot, and I'm pretty sure you get a more consistent damage bonus from using a R/P Keeper ring than switching out Guard rings to match enemy element as a Hero.

[TakemiShinnosuke]

Well I can use S4.. thats good.. but what you mean by resist rings ??

how does this work ??

so if I want Ice .. I just get the Atra DB S4 and one Ice resist ring .. that right ??

Atra DB S4 takes the Guard Rings. So R/Burn Guard = Fire Atras, R/Freeze Guard = Ice Atras, etc.

If I'm using the the damage calculator right, then I may actually have been wrong on this part. It looks like matching element can give a slightly higher damage output than a P Keeper +20. The only real downside to using the Atra DB S4 is that the Guard Rings lose their defensive properties since most enemies cannot cause the SE of the element they are weak against, but that is of minimal concern in most cases. Obviously, this means it gives a better damage bonus than an Effort Ring, but at the expense of the damage reduction.

@Andruil... can you explain abit in detail .. lay man style.. lol

and whats SE

[Anduril]

@Andruil... can you explain abit in detail .. lay man style.. lol
Matching Element using Atra DB S4 using R/SE Guard Rings v. P Keeper or Effort Ring:

Benefit: Causes more damage against the enemy as long as the element matches their weakness over other damage rings (for example, using an R/Freeze Guard to change the weapon element to Ice against Dragon will make you do more damage than using R/P Keeper or R/Effort ring).
Drawbacks: There are few enemies that can cause the Status Effect (SE) that corresponds to their elemental weakness (for example, Dragon cannot cause Freeze and you need to use an R/Freeze Guard to make your weapon Ice via the Atra DBs S4), so the defensive use of the Guard rings is made useless (though this is not much of a concern in general); you lose the 3% damage reduction from enemy attacks that you get from an Effort Ring.

And again, this is assuming I didn't horribly mess up something when I was using the Damage Calculator.

Most likely. Campaign rewards and compensation items usually have an expiration date for pick up and some items also require logging in during the hand out period to receive.

Don't trust the calculator I'd say. from experience plus what I know, matching 60 ele gets 20% more from 60% of the attack value. Atra DB adds roughly 1132 ATK from element alone. so matching element would add 20% of that, so 224 ATK. This is definitely not an increase "shy from perfect keeper". Increase itself doesn't really matter anyway since the whole point is also to get the full value of ele stance on anything you fight.

Since TakemiShinnosuke's initial question was about element switching with TMGs as a Hero, Elemental Stance was not a factor, just the standard damage bonus from matching element. But yeah, my initial claim was made half asleep with me forgetting that the multiplier for element matching was 1.2 to 1.3 times not 1.02 to 1.03 times. This is what I got from the calculator, using the total damage multiplier of Brand New Star (and my main focus for my claim was the difference between the means of P Keeper and 1.2):

[milranduil]

using my own damage calc (because the online one doesn't account for element matching), this was my result
this was using an element match of 20% weakness, the typical average value.

I unlocked dark blast on my gunner, but when I switch to my hunter I can't use it. Why's that?

[Anduril]

I unlocked dark blast on my gunner, but when I switch to my hunter I can't use it. Why's that?

Do you mean your separate Hunter character, or when you switch to Hunter on the same character you unlocked it on?
If the first, you need to run around the lobby a bit until you get a cut-in from one of the operators (it's either Xierra or Koffie, I forget; also, maybe you need to be in Ep.5 mode).
If the second, then are you going into the LQ? Currently, Dark Blast is disabled in it.

You're fine with just Step Jump and Air Reversal.

Other L rings are mostly for preference and playstyle so you'd have to figure out which rings are good for you and how you play.

[Aexorcet]

using my own damage calc (because the online one doesn't account for element matching)

It doesn't? Isn't that what the element multiplier is for? 1.0 for mismatched element and 1.2-1.3 for matched. Or have I been misunderstanding it this whole time?

[milranduil]

It doesn't? Isn't that what the element multiplier is for? 1.0 for mismatched element and 1.2-1.3 for matched. Or have I been misunderstanding it this whole time?

you only use that for techs. it's a direct multiplier to your damage for techs, not to your weapon's attack like striking/ranged damage is (based off of its %, usually 60). this is why matching element is so huge for techs, but very minor otherwise.

edit: i stand corrected, it seems to do the correct thing. i thought i remembered it acting like a multiplier in the past but i can't be sure as it's been a long time since i used the calculator. it still doesn't calculate my damage correctly though after testing it just now. my own calculator has been right every time i've used it for testing a crit, so for now i still trust my own one more. what's more that online calculator is horribly outdated (doesn't even have hero).

[Aexorcet]

Yeah it is pretty old. I don't really use it for exact numbers, just trends and estimates. It does that well enough. I wonder if the creator is still around, it would be nice to see it updated.

A quick question, whats is the recommendation for a poor man atra tmg 7 slots?¡
slots s1 skilled brilliance, s2 photon reduction & s3 s3 willful steel strike and s4 will be S4:Killing Shot, but this drained almost all my resources, Still have some Add Ability (Attack Fusion) or maybe able to buy a noble shoot or something based on recommendations, what you think can be done with not much $$$ (I have some fooders but not way to sell them atm)

If you have Kagaseo Stones, you can do Shoot VI from the SAF on an Ether Fuse upgraded Tokyo weapon, plus if you have 2400 2018 Badges (or some extra Ray weapons you don't mind losing), you can add Astral Soul via SAF; add a Noble Shoot and that gets you 110 R-ATK (120 if you opt for Elegant). Most of the cost with this would be getting the SAF weapons up to +35, and getting everything up to 7 slot first to guarantee a 100% transfer rate.

Are outerwear colours exact or just close? For example, merletto carina has 5 colours according to wiki. Looking in the visiphone, I see several that are off-white, but there should only be white. I even took screenshots in .bmp just to to be sure, and they are different.

Well, outerwear can be recolored, so it's possible some of the ones you are looking at have been recolored from a color that initially sold for less. The fresh-from-scratch versions of black and white tend to be a very dark grey and off-white, and also are usually some of the more expensive colors on the market, so people will buy a cheaper color (often times pink, unless it is the "original" color of the outfit) and recolor it, but will do so by going to extreme white or black rather than trying to exactly emulate the actual color they are supposed to match.

You still need a Color Change Pass for Outers; when you go to select the change color option, if you don't have a pass, it will give you a prompt indicating so. It just doesn't have an AC icon because you can't change it with a Salon Pass.

Buy element boost ..... +2 from Arena (limited 1 item for every maintenance, I think), +5 from player shop .....
use random weapon as fodder for Atra to initiate grinding, add element booster at the end. It'll boost the Atra's element by booster's used (+2 or +5)

5% element booster = +5 element.
I was using 1pc of 2% element from Arena to ele grind 58 -> 60 my Atra before.

Does somebody know if they said anything about Yamigarasu being part of them ? I need more of this (https://pso2.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Yamigarasu-NT)... :-(

[Dark Mits]

Basic Question.

How do you not screw up on a skill tree?A key point in skill trees is that some builds perform better with some weapon/unit combinations, and different builds perform better with different weapons/unit combinations. At the same time, players may have different playstyle, so adopting the skill tree from someone who is a pro at the game may actually work against you.

The basic concept is that damage is king as long as you do not die, so invest as much first in skills that multiply damage by a %, active skills, offensive stats, and the remainders in what you believe will help your playstyle.

Also, another quick question that I can't seem to find the answer of: There is an increased 14* droprate on the LQ Trigger but is that only until Feb 7th or does that boost carry on for the foreseeable future because it's a trigger and you can use it whenever?

Just get both, Hr doesn't need more mobility but playing with Step Jump is just comfy. Step JA is for even faster (OP levels of fast) TMG reload (which you will use because sword has worst PP gen among Hr weapons) while moving/dodging a bit too, that means less downtime and more charged sword WA.

R/ Hr effort symbol,R / Crit Strike for a lil extra damage buff
Only pick crit strike up iff you have weak attack critical,otherwise use effort symbol.
L/Jumping dodge helps for positioning if you want to get height elevation through jump dodge + double jump (Must do jump dodge first),cuts down on time swapping to talis for warp then sword if you wanna blast something from high up.
Keep the step jump/Step JA/Air reversal in your active ring slot (at least one of them) and slot the jump dodge onto your unit (needs to be 20 for 5s cooldown),you can grind the other rings for an extra +20 atk that way.

Anyone knows what triggers some kind of explosion after performing a just-step with hero?
Let me see if I can describe this correctly:

The class in question is Hero, and when i perform a just-step, for example, in the middle of the lava of volcanic caves, it has that frame of invincibility that even makes that stars effect. However, with a sword, when I attack using the just-attack frame that gives, some kind of explotion happens, but onyl when under attack, not if I perform the attack just after a normal quick step... I also have a Step JA Combo combined with one of my 12* units, not sure if that matters... I only saw this behaviour recently..

That is the skill Hero Counter; there is a window where if you attack after evading an attack (which includes damage from environmental hazards like lava or the poison flowers in the Coast) , you will deal a much stronger attack.

Switching weapons is the most effective way to build Gear, but it's in no way the best DPS. Sword only is indeed the best DPS, but if you want to rack up Hero Gear quickly, you need to juggle your weapons to squeeze Gear out of them (Hero weapons "stale" after a while, which sharply reduces their Gear gain if you stick to the same weapon for too long).

No, they have not. If you only need 2 L rings, then Austere Rear+Arm (+190HP, +30PP, +60 All-ATK, +50 DEX, +3% S-/R-Resist, +4% T-Resist) with a 12* Leg might be more to your liking.

Rare during the actual mission, any who could i get banned b/c of that leaving policy they put up last year?If you're using PSO2Tweaker, do a full check (first check for Deleted, then for Old files) in case some file is corrupted. Also, make sure that your connection is uninterruptible; if on WiFi, this means that your signal should be strong and there should not be significant objects between your device and router.

-=EDIT=-
Finally, and this mostly applies if you're on laptop, try defragmenting your hard drive if the game is not installed on SSD. Laptops usually have slower hard drives (5400RPM) and if files are fragmented, too much time is lost while the game tries to load files and you get disconnected.

I always have been curious, isn't Phrase Weak only does +2% if you are attacking to enemy's elemental weakness?

I know a lot of enemies are weak to light, but I have been struggling to convince myself to use it because some of the bosses are not to weak to light. Ex: Red and Black dragon with their weakness to Ice.

Can someone give me a good example how much big of an impact that Phrase Weak gives when compared to other affixes (i.e. Flict)?

I am sitting on quiet a few 8 slots Phrase Weak fodder ¬.¬

Phrase Weak's utility depends on Class, typically. For Force and Bouncer, it might as well be a straight damage bonus, so they should always be taking it. For most other classes, they're locked into one element for their weapon, so you're only getting +2% damage on 1 out of 6 enemy weaknesses.

At the margin of around 3000 ATK or so, 60 ATK = 1% damage, approximately, so 2% damage is more or less equivalent to maaaaybe 120 ATK. Don't cite me on that.

[Aexorcet]

Phrase Weak's utility depends on Class, typically. For Force and Bouncer, it might as well be a straight damage bonus, so they should always be taking it.
With Force it depends on whether you have EPD, Atra S4, rainbow sets or just one weapon. If you use the same weapon for everything, Phrase Weak will kick in when you use a tech of the correct element. However matching your weapon's element to the tech is worth 13% more damage than not doing so. An unaffixed weapon with the correct element will beat out an 8s affixed Phrase Weak weapon of the same tier (except maybe Qliphad). If you switch weapons to maximize EC, Phrase Weak is only good for the one weapons that it's affixed to. The best case is obviously EPD/Atra since that's 2% damage for matching element with no concern over Element Conversion.

I think it's around half that. So Phrase Weak is ~60 attack.

It was at the end of the year becuase of the Fornis Collect Files we had for Merry Christmas on Ice 2017; I ended up with at least two of each Fornis Weapon with their cap fully unlocked (and I wasn't even playing all available runs of the EQ) which is plenty to be able to liberally sacrifice a few for Phrase Weak.

I thought that it was a general consensus that 25 ATK = 1% of damage, how did we go above twice that amount?

[Kondibon]

I thought that it was a general consensus that 25 ATK = 1% of damage, how did we go above twice that amount?The amount of damage you get from atk increases depends on how much atk you already have because that's how math works with flat increases. 30 is 1% of 3000 and 40 is 1% of 4000. That's why comparing atk increases to percent damage increases like it's a static thing is such an easy way to confuse people. :/

The quest actually sticks you in a Free Match, but seeing as Buster Quests are pretty dead, you might not find other people to run it with. You can, however, just skip the buster quest portions of the story without losing any story content.

It was a fluke that it ended up giving 1m-1,5m per run during its last week. Current LQ isn't worse regarding exp/min.

Hi two quick questions here. Is there a place to see a list of active ship 2 English teams? And second what would the strongest classes be currently?

You can check teams that are recruiting via the Visiphone, and there should be some indication if they are English-speaking based on their recruitment message.
Hero; it is high damage output with really low effort in most scenarios (obviously, if you master the mechanics, you can do even better, and if you don't, then you can drag down others in EQs like the Dragon rematch). All of the other classes are viable to some degree as long as you put in the time and effort to learn their mechanics, and some can even outperform Hero if played properly.

Wish you could combine all the rings togther or something...

switching them around is a pain

Well, you can always set them to a shortcut; example, make your shortcut 1 be "/sr r/burnguard" to switch to Fire.

Eh sorry but what is the actual command..

what I can think of would be opening the shortcut menu under options but I see nothing much there.

other ways I can think of would be at the class counter

You can check under Shortcuts>Use Shortcut Words in Keyboard Settings; for me, shortcut 1 is Ctrl+num pad 1, but it is possible that you have it set to something else.

The only way to change rings outside of manually doing it from the Armor option is to use the skill ring chat command, "/sr (ring name without spaces)," so "/sr r/burnguard" for fire, "/sr r/freezeguard" for ice, etc, and if you have those set to shortcuts then it is just a matter of one or two button presses.

If you are using the Item Translation, then it has to be in English. and just /sr, no #.
With my settings, I would have shortcut word 1 set as "/sr r/burnguard", shortcut word 2 as "/sr r/freezeguard", etc. so when I hit Crtl+Numpad 1 it would switch to the R/Burn Guard ring, and when I hit Crtl+Numpad 2 it would switch to the R/Freeze Guard ring, etc.

Unless you also have the /mpal chat command in the same shortcut as the ring change command, then the only way that could happen is if somehow you have Use Shortcut Words and Switch Palette as the same keys.

ok this command works when I enter it

/sr r/バーンガード

but not this

/sr 4 r/バーンガード ---> Nothing happens
