So for the divide quest boost, what exactly do you have to clear to get rewards? A series of steps or all the steps?

if you're referring to the campaign going on, you need to clear steps 1-30 twenty times. (i dont mean run through it exactly 20 but any of the step courses a total of 20 times) example being you can clear steps 1-5 twenty times and get the stones.

DQ itself is just clear its objectives, get rewarded for doing well


Arks Max: The ability can be synthesized with ARKS Fever.

How do I get this ability?

buy it from player shops or get it from Ark Rappies on PSO2 days, 3x Arks Fever = Arks Max, yes they both can be added on to w/e you're affixing to. It's a budget affix

you can run the daily Featured Quest for 2020 Exchange badges and exchange them at the Badge shop for Novel Units near the Recycle Shop npc, from there, you can go to Zieg and look up the remaining materials you need to upgrade to Liberate. You don't have to upgrade them all for Liberate units (since these units are equivalent of Izane units) but you can decide from there. Check out swiki for the stat differences.

Any new player has access to 13* Novel units as long as they grind the daily FQ or some source of receiving 2020 Badges.

Thanks here as well.

Another question, how does DQ progression work?
I finished step 15 a couple of weeks ago (all steps I did in all DQs I ran got S-rank) and then a few days ago did another 2 DQs with some randoms and we had to start at step 1 but finished step 10.
Now I can again at the quest counter only pick step 1-5, why can I not pick step 16-20? I only ever got s-rank and I don't even have someone in the party that is at an earlier step, in case that matters.

The steps reset every wednesday when the maintenace is usually. So basically every week you start from 1 again.

Yes, once you accept the title for getting a class to 75, the bonus stats apply to all characters. You do HAVE to accept the title though, getting there and leaving the title unclaimed will not get you the bonus stats.

So I tried the Destroyer of Light Solo Trigger in UH for the first time. Neither Mother of Deus are considered deadly or anything, but they are a lot spongier than on XH for obvious reasons. I didn't get the title for the S Rank, but I was close (needed 1:12 minutes less to the counter). Any tips on the best techs to use against each opponent? Anything that could shave-off some precious seconds?

I'm assuming you are Fo/Te? If so, use Illgrants. Grants when you can't Illgrants. Those are all the techs you need right there other than compound of course. If you can, Zanverse and Ramegid-0 on downs.

Just as UniverseLover said, Ilgrants will do for the most part. What helps saving a lot of time on Deus is locking on to his little blue attacking spot when he is down
and then spamming Grants when he goes back up. That way you can deal damage even when he is out of range.

If you are playing on PC, then you do not have to pay for XBox LIVE Gold; that is only a requirement for playing on the XBox.

The game is free; the $60 package is the digital "Founder's Pack" which includes the Sonic cosmetics and $100+ of AC items, including a month of Premium, Inventory Expansion, Character Storage Expansion, and various Boosters.

you get modules from running Divide Quests and killing the end Step bosses, you are awarded Modules for clearing point goals PER character PER week. So get grinding on that DQ, you don't need people to run this, solo works just fine (which comes down to skill) or if you can't solo for some bizarre reason then run with friends or teammates

I maxed all but I was just worried there be be some gap where it doesn't proc that I need to be careful about.

Also, one more question:
What's with Etoile's Overdrive's cd? You start the quest with the cd at max duration and then after first use the cd counts down normally?
And there is a 1 instead of a 0 when I can use it, that's doesn't mean anything or? Not like if I do something or other I can get more than 1 and then be able to use it x times without cd inbetween?

NA won't have phantom for a while (likely only later this year), so their only options are the older classes.
I guess Te/Fi would be their best bet for a hybrid approach? Or maybe even Te/Su? (Though I have no idea how Te/Su compares to Te/Fi).

skill stuff is on the Simulator so use that instead if you want, same exact thing for the Affix simulator

I started playing the NA version like a few others here but they switched the conformation button so going back and forth between the two versions is a headache. Has anyone figured out how to get the NA version to use the same conformation button as the JP version? I looked at both key configs in the options but it looks the same to me. I'll look at the user file and maybe I can find something there.

You can change it in the in-game control settings options, under the Menu Settings. I personally changed it a long time ago to make my confirmation button the Western-style on the JPN server, and the only thing that requires the Japanese-style is the Ship Select screen since your control settings don't kick in until you log in.

For the NA or real version? If for the real version, the skill simulator here (https://arks-layer.com/skillsim/skillcalc.php) is up to date. And as mentioned a few posts up, Swiki is virtually up to date for an item database.

If you're playing the NA version, you're SOL until someone decides to make something that's compatible. Good luck waiting.

The way the shop works is not "exchange these items agaisnt something". it's "I want this item through an exchange with this item". Which means you have to look into the listed options in the store to find one that says something about "Excubes" and "10 stars armors" or so.
You can't pick an item in your inventory and assume the game will be smart enough to understand what you want out of the deal.

NA server? on the JP server weekyl missions give a ton of meseta, did the NA server change that? Did they at least leave Klotho ta cos as a backup to make money? If not, try daily orders. Helps to have more characters (wih all methods and for getting more all tree reset passes) but dunno if you can have 3 free characters on the NA server as well.

learning melee/ dex up you mean s-atk / dex up skills? never spec those unless required to get other skills because the amount is minuscule and worthless most of the time, NA server is already at the point where most flat stat boosts are pretty weak. There are a few cases where it's worth it if you have no other good skills or % damage increases left like s-atk (melee) up 2 and 3 on fighter though usually only spec if you are 100% all other skills are not important for you (e.g. fighter has chase skills but even on jp server they are far too conditional to be worth spending more than a couple of sp).

If you mean mag stats, mainly go for single atk for the class you play, e.g. pure melee for all melee classes as it helps for a good amount of classes, bo and br also benefit from pure dex becuase thats turned 1:1 into melee + tech (bo) and ranged (br) though bo has little use for it because bo offensiv e techs are too weak to bother with, br however can max all bow and katana skills and become a true hybrid so it's good.

As for armor (units), tbh in PSO2 lvl 50 should not be mu ch of a concern because lvling is absurdly fast, just do some AQs with a couple others and you should get logn PSE burst with tons of enemies and tons of exp (boost properly, always have boosts active cause you can pause boosters in quests where you don't want them) and the featured lvl up quests also give good exp, not to mention eqs (uqs in NA?) giving lots of exp, meaning lvl 50 and such should not last long enough to really care, unless NA is very different from JP in this aspect.

Can't say much more because no idea how hard or easy it is to get 10-11* units on NA. But swiki has all stats and drop info which should be the same on NA so just use google translate (chrome provides a button for 1 click translation) since all you ever want from swiki are numbers and the occasional short potential description which even google is good enough for.

you're going to need to hit Lv50 before you start seeing the maximum pay out by whenever the next maintenance is (or weekly reset), it'll show you in the menu's when the next reset is. Thats why you're getting a lower amount because your character is still new. Roughly 2mill a week from there

As Kril said, lvl 50 + will mean a bigger payout for missions, if it 's the same as on the jp server it's 600k for desynthing / grinding an item (changes each week) and 1mill for getting a total of 200k (instead of the 100k needed below lvl 50) meseta from client orders. So per character per week it's 1.8m meseta each week from lvl 50+.
Because of this it is best to create all free characters ASAP and start doing missions on them since you can do that from lvl 1 and the moment any other chars hit lvl 50 you'll get even more money, not to mention more daily orders and lvl 20+ zieg cos for lambda grinders.

Since you can change literally everything besides race and gender for each character you don't have to worry much about what to do with the other characters later and even race and gender are 99% cosmetic (always recommending dewman girls cause they're the cutest and male casts for egular male fashion and also being a Gundam).

Featured quests (w/e they're called on NA) require to finish with A or S rank and then in campship you get a reward in a box, can't break it but use the accept button, includes trash like low rarity candy and great stuff like bonus keys for absurd amounts of exp or boosters or crests for 13* weapons, etc. depending on luck. If you finish the quest with A / S rank and go straight to the lobby via "abandon quest" options you will not get it and have to do the quest again with A / S rank. Don't have select a featured quest via the menu, e.g. if forest exploration is featured and you start it right from the gate and finish with a/ s / rank you'll still get the reward.

12*s don't require Lambdas on the NA version. Grinding anything over 10* just requires a lot of EXP, so it is best to use the +30s from the Collect File since that reduces the number of resources and fodder needed.

Item rarity does matter since higher rarity fodder have a higher base EXP amount, but then it is a fine balance of using what you already have and how much you are going to spend to get your fodder grinded. For example, using a +30 9* will give more EXP than a +0 12*, but less than a +20 12*.

you want Dex because you may come up short on some of the Dex Reqs Katanas are asking for

Doesn't matter what Atk stat you're putting into your mag for Hero, it's Mag skill is going to give you the same amount of points into the other stats you're not invested into (like if you did 200 R atk, you're still going to get 200 in S/T atk)

Te/Hu is support, you're going to need to learn those skills whether you like it or not otherwise don't play the class, Wand smacking on it's own isn't super OP enough to ignore everything else

Only one stance from the same class can be active at once. Brave Stance is a passive stance, so it is active as soon as you take the Skill on your Tree; when you active Wise Stance from your subpalette, it disables Brave Stance.

Some weapons are mutli-class or all-class. This comes in handy when trying to level up subclasses by running them as your main*, but not really any other time that comes to mind.

The main point of subclasses is access to their Skills and getting 20% of their stats added to yours; the whole PA and all-class Weapon thing is a side benefit.

You want to take a subclass that benefits and meshes well with your Main class. In this case, Hunter is a great subclass for Ranger since it has Skills that enhance Ranged damage and has various survavability Skills.

RaHu is actually considered a pretty good class combination, due to Fury Stance and all of the other benefits of the Hu skill tree. If you're making a RaHu to use both swords and guns you're doing it wrong.

For a bow-using tech caster, Braver main with either Techer, Bouncer, Phantom, or Etoile would accomplish this, since it's much easier to add the tech-casting ability than it is to find a end-game quality all-class weapon.

There is an option in the in-games graphics settings to adjust the visibility of other player's effects, but even when it is set to display them, they are still reduced relative to the effect that you would see if you cast it yourself. This was implemented a while ago because the effects were quite bad at one point where enough things going off basically made it impossible tot see anything.

For the same reason renaming a character costs more than creating one, eventually you will be at max amount of mags(or characters) and you have no other choice than reset(or rename). SEGA wants to make money.

asking to make sure before i raise new mag : do ranger and gunner use full Ratk mag ?

and how to increase affix LV in a cheaper way ? like tech 1 + tech 2 = tech 3 ? is it possible ? since the price on NA is insane for a new server, it's 200k+ for a LV3 2-3 slots affix unit...

Yes, they use full R-ATK/RNG-Pwr.

Tech II + Tech II = Tech III with a 30% success rate. Tech II + Tech II + Tech II = Tech III with a 50% success rate, Tech II + Tech II +Tech II + Nepto Soul = Tech III with a 70% success rate. I recommend playing around with the Affix Simulator (http://arks-layer.com/abilitysim/na/) to start seeing how transfer rates work for these things.

Ya, but before they announced SAF for units, there was no need to upslot units that you weren't going to use. Also, we have no idea of the SAF that they're going to have. I'm just sad because it's going to be expensive if it turns out that those SAF are going to be worth it :(

Big assumption, but lets say Austere Units do get Astral Soul. That would be a big deal. You can upslot to 4-6 slots and affix stuff on it, then use transfer passes to your real target Unit(say Lightstream or Liberate or whatever they released next). You still keep the austere unit after transfer, so you would have an infinite Astral Soul(or whatever other SAF) generator for units.

Also keep in mind that when you transfer, you can use an "add ability" item(Nobles, elegants and such) plus SSA arent counted, so thats 2 extra slots freebies. This means that at most, you only need to affix "hard" stuff on 6 slots, then during transfer you upslot with the Noble/Elegant and the SSA you reach 8 slots. If you have enough passes, you can repeat the process and use stuff like Add X Mark too, though whether is worth to uses so much passes for a single unit is debatible. Honestly, the worst part its upslotting the target unit to 8 slots, but on the bright side, you can fill it with crappy affixes.

Aware of all of this, but the issue will be getting 300 transfer passes. SEGA has been soooo generous with their 5 FREE passes lately (◔_◔). I think it would take less time to get enough decent 13★ units with good SAF, upslot them to 8 and just affix them the old fashion weapon way with 5 SAF, Grace, SSA and whatever else.

If the SAF are any good (like Astral Soul, Ecofaith's example) then the cost to create an Astral Soul via SAF + upslot will be infintely lower than making all the coumpound affixes and the more slot on your target, the more saving you're actually doing.

Problem is not the class cubes, problem is the time we have to wait to get our 40 passes.

300/40 = 7.5 months. Now let's say we're being generous and say that SEGA will throw us a bone once in a while along with the probably 1 or 2 passes per 30 day logins we'll be getting, we're probably still talking half a year to get 300 fucking passes.

thats why you're suppose to do one really good super affix and then transfer over instead of blowing through your tickets which sounds exactly what hes going to do because he doesn't do his research

i do agree with this slow process of getting tickets even though Rainbow BQ keys are another source of getting them (and likely not very much) where instead sega could have done some sort of once a month, get 3 tickets to transfer stuff up to a total of 3 units but its dragged out further for no real reason

I personally consider the 8 months wait for 3 units at 8 slots fair. We usually have to wait over a year to get units that can be considered a real upgrade over the last BIS. I think I went from Austere/Double+random 12* mixes, to Rappy Shine+ random 12*(then LS), then full 13(which wasnt worth in the long run), so around 4 changes in the past 4 years for me. I guess it would be a problem if you wanted multiple sets focused in single atk affixes, but you still have the choice to get 7 or even 6 slots which drastically lowers the time needed.

It comes down to a difference of opinion of course. What can't be debated however is that by the time 6 to 8 month goes by, you can probably build 8 slot units with 5 SAF + Grace + SSA + a traditional one.

The point was that NA, at Episode 3, has better gear available than JP did, at Episode 3. The names and rarity may be the same as what is now considered low-level equipment in JP, but the NA stats are better. Don't forget, JP had only old-type weapons back then, only grindable to +10.

You're missing the key takeaway point here. At the time JP first got Ultimate, 13* weapons were just first introduced and the majority of us were running with 11* weapons, and some with 12*, because the drop rates were absolutely horrendous back then. Meanwhile on the NA servers, even before ultimate, access to 13* weapons was already available for some time.

But his point is fair. Most of them had only 2 weeks to gear up for SH.
Most probably, many of them are still learning the game (even if using correct class combos) and probably still don't have end game gear either.
So saying "potentially you should do bette because with the power creeped gear" is true but probably only a minority have it.

It's not only the end game gear, even easily accessible equipment is considerably better than the common equipment we had when ultimate quests released on JP.

And then there's the player shops restrictions we had at the time, buying 10 and 11* weapons was locked behind weapon passes (which needed premium and 10~11* weapons to be traded for passes of the same rarity), and 12* weapons were untradeable.
Only more than half a year after ultimate quests released that we got our first accessible bottom tier 13* weapons.

Also, NA got the already nerfed ultimate quests, not the tougher original ones we got on JP back then.

you played JP, idk how you forgot you're entire experience there but I don't think you realize how good NA has it with the current content that us on JP didn't. Right now, if they released UQs back like they did initially, you guys would be doing nothing but farming for Ares weapons from Anga, Nem/Slave weapons wouldn't exist yet Sega released that series which idk who could complain with that level of power creep. Who even knows if PD drops will even remotely be good at all. You can't give NA the Austere NT versions, because thats a massive power creep right there, can't give them Novel/Liberate, so you guys might be stuck maining Invade NT at best since that series is the best 13* gear in JP.

You even have the ability to buy better gear out right out the door from player shops no prob. Doesn't matter if PC players had 2 weeks, most of the hardcore would cap week 1, casuals be casual so not going to try and guess when they hit cap. You have a weaker version of Ultimate Quests which somehow is still too hard for people, what more do you want? You guys have it easy and don't even realize it

God sometimes I wish Sega would bring backed the old UQs and certain AI that was deemed to hard, current content on JP definitely would need it so I don't have useless mobs standing/circling around doing nothing

I'm guessing that PD will just drop Invade NT and maybe Union Boosters? (They have Ray weapons and units available on a badges shop, while the weapons are nothing special when compared to Nemesis/Slave/Invade, the units are the best ones they'll have for now I guess, depending on when they make it possible to merge rings into them).
Austere is indeed not gonna happen, something similar happened with Anga, since Ares NT are 14* weapons, NA's Anga was changed to drop Gix instead.

I wonder what they'll do about challenge quests though, maybe they'll upgrade Ideal weapons into NT versions (like Elder Rifle and such)?

JP Anga dropped Gix as well... Specifically the Ult Amd and doggie Anga.

On JP it's not a drop from Anga, but an area drop from Ult Amduscia.
I really don't think they're gonna get 14*s already though.

I opened the tweaker to see if there was a patch update and my plugins settings tab is completely empty. and when i click on Plugin Check i get the following error on the log window "Plugin Reload Exception - Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException - -2146233088: Error reading JObject from JsonReader.

Does anyone know how to fix this? :c

Bouncer Mag makes your DEX Mag give MEL-Pwr and TEC-Pwr in equal amounts, effectively being as if you have both a MEL Mag and a TEC Mag equipped, so using Switch Strike just comes down to whether or not your Augments are more MEL-Pwr focused since all it does is make your Jet Boots use MEL-Pwr instead of TEC-Pwr.

Break Stance D Bonus has been there from the get-go on the NA server. Keep in mind that it only applies when using Soaring Blades.

Cool thx. So only got 1skill point atm but break stance says undestroyed potency 103% and non destroyed 90% aka minus 10%. I know it will go up when maxxed, should i complete break stance for 21points? At lvl59 atm so just enough to complete break stance with class Xcubes. I’m Not looking to get a bunch of different element soaring blades for elem stance so if break stance is trash i won’t bother with S.blades.

Edit. Just realised with break stance D bonus i will get max benefit of break stance on S.Blades on mobs aswell >.< wish i could just delete this post lol

You don't get the full amount of Break Stance on non-breakable parts with BSDB, rather a portion of it, calculated as such:

(100% + Break Stance's multiplier) x 90% = the amount of damage you do on non-breakable parts with SBs. Note that BSDB does not take Break Stance Up into consideration.

At lv1 Break Stance that makes it (100% + 3%) x 90% = 102.7%, while at lv10 Break Stance it is (100%+35%) x 90% = 131.5%.

This basically puts the full BSDB multiplier at just 0.5% lower than Elemental Stance+Elemental Stance Up (not taking into consideration the natural damage bonus from matching element).

I just did my first round of story missions; are they all just short chat scenes with one being a random boss fight? In PSU story missions were like a normal mission + story talking.
Did they remove something to make the NA conversion easier?

They were like PSU at the beginning but it was changed during Episode 4 to what you have now.

Sorta confused about Bo's Elemental PP Restorate Field.
It shouldn't be proccing on dbs if your weapon's element is not the target's weakness, right?

I tested several times and for some reason I recover more pp with it active on db (light element) e.g. on Rockbear than when the field is not active despite presumably conditions being the same except for the field.

ALSO
How do you get Luminech Emer Fragments to unlock the new Atlas Ex potential (18% damage boost)?

If you're using Rockbear during the Damage Tally then it is weak to all elements despite it not being displayed so EPPR would apply here. Otherwise it's never really worth it on Dual Blades.

And you can get Luminmech Emer Fragments from running Divide Quests on higher steps. I'd suggest Search and Destroy to increase your income of them.

There's 3 parts in the AIS phase.

The first one is a regular looking Magatsu that is weak to shooting attacks, so everyone should use the rocket launcher attacks and the regular shooting attacks to recover PP. The laser should also be used in this phase.

The second regular looking one is weak to melee attacks, so everyone should use the sword attack and the dashing sword attack (only use the regular shooting attacks to recover PP). If a 2nd laser gets ready during this phase, don't use it, save it for the golden phase.

In the golden form there are red marks in its belly, each one represents one part of its body that needs to be broken (2 knees, 2 shoulders, head). Everyone should attack the belly only when the red marks are all gone.

I save them to use as for grind fodder for my 14* and 15* weapons; they have higher base points than lower rarity weapons. If I'm short on Lamdas (not likely with well over 100 in the bank now), I'll convert them for that.

Photon Boosters are used to unlock potentials on some 14* (and likely 15*) weapons, I know. Other than that no idea.

A bit additional info:
Photon Boosters don't directly unlock potentials but you can exchange 90 photon boosters for 1 ultimate booster and iirc it costs 20 ultimate boosters to grind that new potential from scratch and 12 ultimate boosters if you have the old potential at lvl 3 and just switch potential.

Also pretty sure only 14* weapons use ultimate boosters for potentials and 15* use those new Luminech Emer fragments you apparently get from Divide Quest later steps.

8 rounds is enough, sadly all the sectors don't give the exact same number of points so you probably just need to redo that but with better sector RNG (i know it's dumb)

But is there a title behind this? Reason I'm asking is that I don't care about achieving it if there isn't since Varuna is almost as hard as Demon Phaleg (saying almost because attacking him slowly and from far away will eventually grant me a victory).

Anyone using Liberate Rod's S5 Calming Bullet?
How is it? Does it make Rod Shoot good again when using L/A. Rod Shoot Mode?

Also, anyone using S5:Instant Invocation and found a good use for it? The -40% dmg and only reducing charge time for the 2nd tech of the same element is pretty steep so the only thing I can think of is fire tech (e.g. Foie / Rafoie) > Ilfoie alternating spam but tbh no idea if this is actually good.

S5 Calming Bullet is garbo and unless you're meme'ing on people, you shouldn't be using it.

S5: Instant Invocation might be okay on Fo/Et but I don't recommend it
