It's doable, I tested it during Beta.
But I don't know why yours record the desktop.
What are you running PSO2 in, Full screen or Virtual Full Screen?
If you have a Nvidia GPU, you can try out Nvidia Shadowplay.

Are all voice cards available still or are some not anymore? I wanted voice card number 1 of course (The voice actor for Natsu from fairy tail and Simon from gurren lagaan). I want to know if it can even be found at all anymore. So can it? If so where would i get one?

What do I have to do to unlock the matter board bingo square. I think I've done like one matter board thing... Ever.

[manthisis]

what PA's should I use as a hunter from levels 18-30? im having trouble dealing damage and soloing bosses and such even with fury stance, grinded gear, etc.

i cant seem to get a low enough level over end/guilty break/sword rider/ the recommended PAs from the build thread

[ShinKai]

What do I have to do to unlock the matter board bingo square. I think I've done like one matter board thing... Ever.

You need to unlock the newest Matter Board, which is currently Matter Board 16.

Why is Dark Falz called "Loser"?

[Horo The Wise Wolf]

Why is Dark Falz called "Loser"?

It's weird.

His name in Japanese is "Ru Sa" Which is Luther.

Loser is in place of the English Patch just because it is funnier I guess.

K. Is there a guide anywhere? I assume the Japanese Wiki has it. Will check when I'm not on my phone.

[Gardios]

Why is Dark Falz called "Loser"?

DF Luther is written "Loser", but pronounced "Luther". Same with Elder, he's written "Colossus", but pronounced "Elder".

I think the EN patch went with Loser at first because they didn't have the pronunciation when it was translated? It should be changed though.

To unlock MB 16? I think Cirnopedia has a mostly translated guide to the MB squares, I don't know how updated it is.

Once you get to MB 15, What you need to do to unlock MB 16 is to finish both story mission paths, and also, you need to make a Support Partner if you haven't. Then Xion should give you the new one.

its literally like impossible to solo the cave boss dragon at level 16 as a hunter. any tips? i cant seem to get the more powerful PAs like Over End or Guilty Breaker at that level

[Shadowth117]

Its hard and it may take a while, but it should be possible. If its really too much for you, I'd suggest leveling in emergency quests when you can and doing client orders so that you can get to a higher level to fight it. You could also try seeing if you could get help somewhere like block 20 maybe.

[ShinKai]

its literally like impossible to solo the cave boss dragon at level 16 as a hunter. any tips? i cant seem to get the more powerful PAs like Over End or Guilty Breaker at that level

Take some time to learn his patterns, and try to either dodge or block them. This stuff takes practice. His weak points are the horns and his tail.

Focus on not taking damage and you'll be in good shape for when you get more powerful stuff in SH.

[Evangelion X.XX]

I would recommend using a grinded gunslash if you're truly having trouble. Just keep yourself at a distance and keep shooting the tail.

[rpgstar1]

its literally like impossible to solo the cave boss dragon at level 16 as a hunter. any tips? i cant seem to get the more powerful PAs like Over End or Guilty Breaker at that level

My suggestion, use a gunslash so you have access to some range and melee. Also use to npc's or even friend npc's, just bring some cpu help, and I'd suggest since your the hunter, bring rangers and force.

Or you can just look and see if someone is running it and join their party, or even see if someone wants to join yours

[gigawuts]

The trick with vol dragon is staying mobile. Most hunter PAs - especially early ones - are slow, giving vol time to start a new attack before yours is done.

When the game launched vol was pretty much the toughest boss. Now he's much easier, but that's mostly because of the newer moves. Try buying some of the 6* PAs for the cheap prices, but at a nice level. Some will be pricier than others, so don't feel like you need all of them. Good ones for this would be Wild Round and Cerberus Dance for Wired Lances, which do not need wired lance gear at all to do their best damage, and Over End on his head for when he's regenerating his tail. If you deal enough damage to his head you can stumble him, which will interrupt his tail regeneration. Breaking his tail breaks his armor, which will prevent him from using his flying fireball move until he regenerates it again. You can also just run and stay behind him to avoid it.

Wild Round and Cerberus Dance can both be guard cancelled: If you think you're going to be hit, do this early, not late. Better to cancel a move and take no damage than not cancel a move in time and eat the ground.

Other good moves are Ride Slasher (sword gear preferred for faster charging), Guilty Break (great gap closer, fast animation, but again sword gear preferred for charging), and Sacred Skewer (snipe the tail or horn).

But again, all of these are only good here because of their quick animations and generous cancel frames. You can pick Vol apart with the PAs you're finding now, some are even as fast as you need. Grapple Charge comboed into Heavenly Fall is an excellent combination to close on his tail as he keeps turning to face you, and HF is very quick too so it's good all the time here. That was one of the original choice moves for this because it was so fast back before all these other moves were added.

[NexusAZ]

Why is Dark Falz called "Loser"?


To quote somebody:

"The new Dark Falz's name is a pun. He is called Dark Falz [敗者]. This kanji literally means "failure person" or "one who loses or has lost". Though it could be rendered as [The Defeated] or [Vanquished], it's most common translation is "loser". When this kanji is read in the game, it is pronounced ルーサー. This is how the NPC Luther's name is written, because (spoilers) he is Dark Falz Loser. However, the word "loser" can also be written in katakana as ルーサー (although ルーザー is more common).

So, the pun is that Loser and Luther are all but identical when written in katakana or pronounced in Japanese. While the enemy itself is named Dark Falz ルーサー (Luther), we have chosen to call it Dark Falz Loser, so as to preserve the pun. Likewise, the soul is Loser Soul. This is, in our estimation, the only way to preserve the pun in English."


This is what I've been told at least .3.



what potential Zero Effort does?

Cirnopedia says Boost point-blank attack power

ty

Withing a certain distance of the target, you get a damage boost. It's a pretty nice one too. It activate at the same range Zero Range Advance does. You don't have to be all up in their face, but you do have to be pretty close.

It means what it says. It boosts point blank damage, so it boosts damage if your enemy is close to you. After a certain distance from you, you won't get the damage bonus.

Thanks to NexusAZ and ShinKai for answering my previous question.

May i ask another one? lol

as for extending unit

cirnopedia says
http://puu.sh/8HJgR.png

the parameter..

so as extending lv 2 i'll get +20 hp and +2 pp or +40 hp +4 pp?

and im a gunner should i extend ranged (since stat requirement) or tech just for more pp bonus?

It will always be either 30 HP/1 PP, 20 HP/2 PP or 10 HP/3 PP no matter the extend level. As far as how you should extend... it really comes down to how much HP/PP you want. Ranged is a good middle ground and I would say is probably the best unless you really need PP/HP.

Try it in virtual full screen mode, although you might have better luck asking at the MSI forum, as most people here use Frap or Nvidia Shadowplay. Some use Bandicam too I believe.

Sub-class do not give you the ability to use said job weapon, you need to get all class weapon.

Hmm, now that I look, they did add it in this update (thought it was a later one). It's after you log into your account and when you select your character, there's a "Settings" option you can select before you go down to the lobby. It's the 3rd option in that menu. It will cost AC.

2x questions.

1. I'm in ship 02, best place for English speakers?

2. I'd like to join a "guild" (no idea what its called in PSO) how do I go about looking for recruitment, would like to play with other people. (I live in Japan, so I'm hoping to find people within the same timezone :P if I'm lucky)

[relentless]

Block 20 has most English speaking people. Also it's called teams on PSO2 and not guilds. Just ask around, you'll probably find people quickly.

Block 20

Sorry for clarifying, block 20 on Ship 02 yes? :)

hey is there a wiki or something for what all those little things that pop up during runs? like sometimes on ur screen ull see a bunch of things that look like theyre a reading of something or other.

[omgwtflolbbl]

Does Mizer Soul boost the rate of Spirita III? Thinking about 4 slotting and using cirnopedia and the affix sim on arks-layer and I thought I had read it does, but it doesn't seem to boost Spirita III. I know the souls were recently changed, so I don't know if its just out of date or what.

Thinking about using a Mizer/Shoot III/Spirita III/xxx fodder with Mizer/xxx/xxx/xx fodder/target to affix Mizer/Shoot III/Spirita III/Shooting Boost. Will that work 100% with 30% boost?

Assuming you have Mizer Soul on your target item, you'd only need a 20% booster to get to 100% with those fodders.

If you don't have Mizer Soul on the target item, not even a 30% will make it reach 100%.

[omgwtflolbbl]

Thanks.

I know that element is really not all that important on weapons that aren't used for techs or have stuff like Ancient Oath, but what's generally the most desired element? I'm guessing Light and Fire from the prices of the attribute changers?

Light is pretty good against Darkers (if you have a weapon with bonus damage against Darker it's just plain awesome). Lightning and Fire are also a common and good. Especially Fire.


what photon art setup should you use for twin daggers?

Depends heavily on playstyle. Probably a mix of Bloody Sarabande, Facet folia, Symphonic Drive and Raging Waltz. As for the setup itself... well, just do what suits you the most. I'm not the best Fi player ever, since it's more a sub for me.

[Sureiya]

Does anyone know the actual chance of a custom tech to have -10 PP cost? I have crafted the tech so many times but the best I can get is -9 PP cost. I'm not sure if I'm unlucky or its like 1% chance.

[Bellion]

You should generally pick an element that complements a weapon and not just go with light only.

Fire for fire rods
Fire for native killing weapons
Lightning for machine killing weapons
Light for darker killing weapons
and so on.

Light is alright, just don't turn every single weapon into light if you can guess that you've found a certain weapon that complements a certain element. If you're only going to use one weapon fire/lightning/light can be good. If you want to sell something, light is what usually sells the most unless you have a weapon that....you know, I think you should get the point by now.

Just to clarify, how exactly does the Great Sun Deity latent work? Thanks.

[Bellion]

Works anywhere in which a weather effect can take place. However, no weather effects must be active for the potential to work. It will always work in boss rooms even though no weather effects can take place.

It will never work in the Dark Falz quests nor in extreme quests, and the red waves of the tower defense of quests in which it turns a bit dark.

Partner characters seem to be exempt from all of the extreme quest orders save for the ones to kill enemies.

Note:

Be forewarned, there are certain T.Daggers that cause really bad frame drops for other players with older PC, for example like the All-Class T.Daggers: Twin Reaping & Nishiki.

Also, there are some Dagger Camos that cause FPS loss as well; I'm not sure which Camos are to blame, but I remember a Thread discussing these Camos and T.Daggers (do a thread search for them).

Please refrain from using these T.Daggers and Camos for courtesy's sake.... else the Blacklist awaits you.

Crystal are only breakable on second phase

Unless you aren't interested in those drop, then just put all attack on center clock after breaking it with Mirage type tech or attack.

Yes, it's not too obvious visually - but when the game starts letting you lock onto the little crystal bits, that's when you should start gunning for them.

Bit of a question for people who've had to fight Bird Falz the slow way: After you've broken his beak off, can you still still stun him in that phase of the fight?

[manthisis]

is there a fighter guide somewhere where i can learn all of the mechanics and such? dashing and using the right PA's is confusing.

If not, can somebody answer these questions for me:

how do i utilize dashing? should i put a point in step attack early?

what PAs are the best to use in order on the weapon pallete? this might be just up to preference, but wondering if theres an actual best (im using only twin daggers, btw)

how do you stay aerial for a while as to utilize the twin daggers the best?

any other mechanics i should know?

[KatsuraJun]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig-4y0rcNQM

Staying aerial with TDs revolves around using Symphonic Drive and your shift command (the tiny spin).

[KatsuraJun]

yeah, people say fighters are all about dodging and dashing and staying in the air. is there any part of their kit that revolves around dashing besides being mobile?

it depends on the weapon you're using at the moment. daggers won't be dashing as much as knuckles or TD's because they can block things so they don't always need to evade.

you're supposed to use all 3 weapons though since they all have a different use.

[infiniteeverlasting]

how much are the rare drop boosts on random enemy attack rankings?

[manthisis]

People say Symphonic Drive is a good Twin Dagger PA, but how do you stick to your target and stay in melee range after using it? Do you have to press shift and sacrifice the second half of the damage of that PA?

[infiniteeverlasting]

symph drive gets good when you have the level 16 version of it, its damage is pretty ridiculous, especially at full t. dagger gear. Its a good PA because you fill up gear when you use it and at the same time it does very decent damage. Symph drive's only draw back is it brings you away from the enemy, so dont use it on mobs, its more of a boss/single target PA.

[KatsuraJun]

People say Symphonic Drive is a good Twin Dagger PA, but how do you stick to your target and stay in melee range after using it? Do you have to press shift and sacrifice the second half of the damage of that PA?

You're supposed to time the shift press to cancel the backwards launch but not the second part of the damage, if that makes sense. In other words, you'll launch backwards, but only slightly depending on how well you time it since you're cutting it off with the shift command.

[larthejust]

I have a question regarding the cathedral suit costume. I have seen a cathedral suit that was all black and had black where the purple is and white where the gold is. I was wondering does anyone know about this?

Ahh, okay. So like would a common combo be:

Symphonic Drive--> cancel after 2nd hit ->> Bloody Sarabande >> other attacks?

also, should i rush step attack in my skill tree then just put the rest of the points in?

where do you get level 16 PAs? i never see them on the player shop

[Evangelion X.XX]

^You cannot get lvl. 16 PA's in shops... you have to find them from enemies that drop them. In shop, the highest lvl. that you can sell/buy is lvl. 10.

Bloody Sarabande is more of an AoE mobbing tool. Stick to spamming 16 Symphonic since that offers higher single target damage with TDs. Or Deadly Archer/Backhand Smash with Double sabers/Fists respectively depending on the situation.

11+ level PAs can't be bought, unfortunately. You have to get lucky and have them drop. 11-15 drops on VH, 11-16 drops on SH.

As for skills, these are the core skills you should probably be rushing for. Flesh out into other things afterwards based on the builds posted by other users in the forum and what you're aiming for.

ah okay. thanks a ton for your guys' help. i just thought bloody sarabande was good cuz when i watch fighters on youtube solo bosses on SH, they constantly spam both Symphonic Drive and Bloody Sarabande depending on their situation. And also, what use does the shift button have besides cancelling symphonic drive's knockback and blocking? i heard it resets combos and helps you stay in this air, is this true?

[infiniteeverlasting]

Edit: the discs drop apparently drop from SH rappies and rockbears.

[KatsuraJun]

Bloody Sarabande is also situationally good in boss rooms but not for damage (not that it does bad damage) - it has auto guard frames so if you're not feeling particularly safe, it's a lot safer to use than just about any other offensive photon art.

The shift command helps you stay in the air in the sense that it keeps you levitating (but you don't gain height.) You also can't use it twice in a row without attacking inbetween. It also adds a bar to your Twin Dagger gear, which if maxed out gives you like a 30% damage boost I believe?

I want to add that Symphonic's damage isn't impressive until you get it to level 16. It gets a huge damage boost at that point, before then, stick to Sarabande for your TD damage on bosses and Symphonic just for mid-air mobility.

does it reset your combo bar? like if you have a PA set as your first on your weapon pallet and youre on your 2nd attack, if you press shift will you go back to the first PA?

[KatsuraJun]

That, I'm not sure, since every line in my palette is 3 of the same PA so I can't tell. <_<;; I can't hop on and check right now, sorry.

oh, okay, thank you. last thing, is having 3 of the same PAs on your pallete better than having 3 different ones (ex. symphonic drive, bloody sarabande, facet folia)

[KatsuraJun]

I prefer having 3 of the same because I don't really have to worry about which step of the combo it's on. Generally there won't be more than 6 PAs you need (if even that many), so as long as you bind the 1-6 palette slots to 1-6 on your keyboard, it's really easy to swap inbetween them, even mid-combo.

i cant seem to figure out how to bind weapon palletes to the 1-6 on the keyboard. IK its bound through the numberpad but i cant use that while using a mouse so..

[Ephidiel]

you can change it in the settings to switch the Shortcut to 1-6 and change the Subpallete short to the numpad

[KatsuraJun]

Well, I can at least show you that without having my laptop overheat.

You're going to have to swap your subpalette binds though since they're on 1-10 by default, I put them on F1-F10

so whats the sequence for step attack dashing? i know its just dash-step attack- dash and so on, but sometimes the step attack goes off and other times it doesnt

I'm on the lowest setting possible (tweaked from the launcher) and all weapons make me lag, it's hell in mpas as well, tbh I shouldn't be playing this game.

I just kinda get used to the lag and predict where the goldradahs end up after the next frame skip.

It's not a program, it's called downsampling, and you just have to use custom resolution.

If my mag is level 174 and I level up 3 stats at once, does it become level 177?

[Kikikiki]

You most likely won't be able to level all three stats at once, because this game still keeps track of fraction values, i.e if you have 174 R-ATK on your current mag, and something around 0.98 DEX and 0.99 S-ATK, then when you feed the appropriate items, the one with the higher fraction will level up first.

[GoldenFalcon]

You most likely

Your post is wrong btw

[Kikikiki]

It's not my wrong if you keep the little shit side to yourself and refuses to listen to other people's opinions.

[GoldenFalcon]

[Kikikiki]

Well I'm sorry for trying to be helpful.

[milranduil]

Kikikiki is 100% correct though, so it's not really an opinion... the stat that is the closest to leveling is what goes up from 174 -> 175.

When the higher stat has more percent, a lower level stat could still be closer to leveling

The lower stat that is closer to leveling will level up.

The mag's level will become 175.

What else?

Or am I misunderstanding your point somewhere? Please elaborate.

That's what else lol

[Kikikiki]

First you said the "higher fraction" will level up, and now you contradicted yourself

That's what else lol

I think you're misunderstanding me.

The fraction here is what's behind the actual points needed to level up.

You know that feeding items to your mag gives it points right?

Here's an example:

Say your mag is at 174 R-ATK, with 2.89 points remaining to level up to 175 R-ATK

Meanwhile, the DEX value is 0.99 point remaining to level up to 1 DEX.

If you feed it a ranged weapon, the DEX value will inevitably raise up to 1.

So you're left with a Lv.175 mag, with 174 R-ATK and 1 DEX.

Am I clear?

You can stop your childish self-assumption now.

Do it must be a standard Rappy Suit? Or it can be other colored / version of Rappy Suit?

Thank you.

[Arada]

Technique crafting, worth anything?

Yes, some techs gain large benefits from it.

Zondeel has a lvl2 recipe that increases its range.
Shifta, Deband and Resta all have a recipe that decreases the time between ticks and has the side effect of making these techs have 5 ticks instead of 4.
Sazan and Foie have recipe that decreases dramatically their PP cost (to 10PP or so if you're lucky).
Zonde has a level 2 recipe that reduces its casting time making a near-instant charged cast (it's become my fastest tech to charge).

Things to remember:
Loss/Gains in Power are marginal except for Namegid lvl 2 recipe so don't try to get them or do not take it as a super bad demerit.
Reduce Charge Time and Reduce Interval are the 2 best things you can get out of crafted techniques.
PP Cost reduction comes next (it's sometimes very significant).

Most of the recipes are worthless but there are really good ones too.

Last thing to note: it's a long and costly process to level up your crafting level so don't expect lvl 2 recipes very soon (unless you make requests).

[Sizustar]

Technique crafting, worth anything?

What do you mean?

Do you mean is it worth the time to craft tech?
Or the item that is required to craft tech?

First one, yes, Crafting can reduce PP usage, reduce cast time, increase range, or damage on specific tech.

2nd one, you can just do a search in playershop to see the current price of said item.

[branflakes325]

Everything about Shifta that I can't seem to find anywhere:

1. How does Shifta increase overall damage output? Is there a base percentage increase or is it a fixed number based on the level of your Shifta that gets added to all attacking stats?

2. How does Shifta Advance work? Is it a percent increase of the previously mentioned fixed number or a percent increase of a percent increase?

3. Does Shifta Critical stack with other critical hit modifiers by directly adding the percentage? Or is it a maximum 25% increase after factoring in a hypothetical 50% increase? (thus being a 12.5% increase for a total of 62.5% crit rate vs. a simple 75% crit rate)

4. Is it possible to have the merits of both Multi Shifta and Concentrated Shifta, or do they automatically replace one another entirely? I assume the latter, but I would like clarification anyway.

5. I assume Extend Assist applies to all players affected by Shifta equally, so correct me if I'm wrong. Lastly, with Long Time Assist does it take 12 ticks (15 seconds each) to reach the full duration (180 seconds) of Shifta/Deband?

Whether or not Shifta builds are viable, I would like to at least know how the technique and its modifiers work lol

Thank you, and hello!

[azuremobius9]

Afraid so.

[Agastya]

shifta increases attack based on the target's base attack stats. since it increases the "base" stat, it also increases how much you heal with resta.

the 'power' displayed for shifta is the amount they're multiplied by. shifta advance multiplies this multiplier (so if it's a 120% increase, and advance is a 20% boost to it, it becomes an overall 144% boost)

i believe shifta critical stacks with others.

multi and concentrated shifta replace each other. multi is generally more useful.

extend assist increases the maximum time shifta/deband can be applied. by default, it's 60 seconds with +15 seconds a tick. until recently, it could go from 120~180 seconds at 15 seconds a tick, until long time assist happened.

long time assist adds 30 seconds to each tick, making each tick be worth 45s base. this makes shifta a lot less of a chore to keep up, if you plan on maining techer anyway.

shifta is useful. don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

(correct me if i'm wrong on shifta advance/crit stuff, i rarely use them beyond required levels.)

[branflakes325]

Thanks! You've answered all my questions except for one. How much is the initial attack increase of an un-modified Shifta? I assume the increase is based on the Shifta level, but I still don't know how much the increase is for each level. Cirnopedia lists the "power" of each level, ranging from 180-195. Those numbers don't make sense if its anything other than a fixed ATK increase, and I doubt they're accurate.

Thanks for clearing that up, GoldenFalcon.

Discovered the answer to my own question with in-game calculations. 180 power Shifta is an 18% increase, while 195% power Shifta (level 16) should be a 19.5% increase. I don't see why they would make the differences so small between level 1 and level 16.

Correct. Unless that spear already had S-ATK and T-ATK
What you can also so is craft you weapon to make it usable by different classes.
This is done by obtaining a great success once your weapon has been crafted.

[Totori]

so your saying crafting weapons always have set stats and I can't say make a spear that has S-atk and T-atk for example?

Yes in a way you can, by adding abilities onto said Spear. I feel like people aren't giving crafting weapons enough credit, in a way they do have set stats, but these stats can be an complete buff compared to how weapon was.

Technique I-IV will add some T-Atk onto any weapon.

Crafting 10* losses the 90% minimum damage bonus, adding ability as you stated, doesn't add enough to justify using sword/spear/wirelance as a casting weapon.

The talis is slightly better for dark damage, but rods don't have to deal with the inconvenience of replacing the talis every four techs or if you need a heal.

[milranduil]

The talis will do 8-10% more damage assuming you have Talis bonus maxed, same affixes and both 50% dark.

[Miles064]

Well the rod is like 15mil for a +10 and latent lvl 1 while the talis is 4.2mil with +10 latent lvl 1 so if its not that big of a gap id just get the talis cause the most ive ever had at one time is 12mil... If the gap was huge then id just bi the bullet and try to save up.

Oh, talis it is then. Sucks for rods i guess.

So, I guess quick question(and yes, I'm new here)

I'm working on getting all the quests in the game done(OCD, don't judge) and I've been working on the weather observation quests since I got them.. however some of them I simply cannot complete.
Are there any necessities that one must complete in order to see certain weather effects?

Thank you, thank you, and Dammit xD

Is it possible to just stand still.. afk for a couple hours or so, and get the weather effects? xD

It's possible, but it seems more likely for me if something's going on, rather than just sitting still in map, I know I've seen a lot in TAs, even though the quest is scripted, the weather is not.

[Gardios]

I believe the weather is influenced by PSE? I know that I've waited in Floating Continent for the weather for over 5h once and it didn't trigger.

[manthisis]

are EQs announced 15 till the hour and start at the hour every time or just at common intervals?

example: announced at 2:45, starts at 3:00

or could it do something like this: announced at 3:00, starts at 3:15

[Ephidiel]

always 15 before the hour

[manthisis]

always 15 before the hour

thanks. also, is there a way to translate the twitter EQ bot into PST? or perhaps is there some english/american time EQ announcer out there somewhere?

[Cyber Meteor]

@Gardios

Weather only changes if you are fighting ennemies. If not, it will be the standard weather (or it will get back to after a random amount of time, can be 3 seconds or up to 30 seconds, if you already have a special weather) until you fight again. So if you just "wait here", weather will never change.
And PSE is influenced by weather (occurs more frequently under special weather) not the opposite.

While fighting bosses as a fighter, should you avoid damage with dash or shift? im pretty sure its shift since it can both block and keep you airborne, but just making sure

[Dnd]

In the air and with daggers, shift action everytime, to keep airborne.
On the ground, depends what the attack is and what weapon i have equiped at the time.

thanks. also, is it possible to use twin daggers for everything? bloody sarabande for killing mobs/damage on bosses and just everything else for boss fights? i find twin daggers REALLY fun and im JW if the twin sabers/knuckles are really necessary.

[Dnd]

I do when im lazy hahaha. Bloody sarabande is great for trash killing and symphonic drive (16, at least) is really nice dps on 95% of the bosses (and for the other 5%, im lazy and still do it).

Double sabers are nice and offer huge dps with deadly archer, but small range and no guard-frames unless you time acro effect perfectly or dodge right. (Double sabers have quite afew nice PA's, but you dont see them at all because deadly archer trumps them all in damage)

Knuckles.. im not the person to ask.. i just use meteor fist and pray for good RNG >_>

Unless i'm missing it, why doesnt PSOWorld have a PSO2 database similiar to the other installments? With the news being 100% PSO2 stuff on the main page, I find it curious.

[Naimmis]

Hello,

I've been on hiatus from PSO2 since the beginning of the year because of RL reasons. So I'm finally back and am really confused about some of the new changes.

My main class (FO) is currently 48 and fire specced, before my day consisted of completing as many AQs as I could while finding groups for TACOs. This was how I got experience primarily.

What has changed? Are there better ways now of leveling? Did they add any other solo content I should be aware of?

I also do not have the latest weapons, my rod is a ragne soul vita striker. My talis is a Blue Crane

What should I be searching for now? How should I be building my character?

if you're still stuck in VH mode at level 48, you should first worry about getting to SH mode, because thats when the changes that recently happened actually matter.

New level cap, current max is level 70
Force recently got a new skill called element conversion, which convert the element of weapon to tech damage.
At level 5 Element conversion(Max) if the weapon element match the tech element, it's 25% more damage, if it does not match, it is 12.5%
This has made Force go rainbow element weapon(Rod/Tali) with the 16% element lv.3 latent bonus.

The current most popluar spell is dark, the Il megid, dark hand.
It is a spell that is anti-mob, and is popular with the tali bonus and element conversion, with Techer focusing on Dark.

And since you're element is fire, these are the two current fire latent rod

Quick question about a particular Bullet Bow:


Mercy of Lillipa is a bow that (according to cirnopedia) has +10 grind stats of 0 S-ATK, 367 R-ATK and 350 T-ATK. Its potential ability known as Harmonic Conversion "converts 40% of your weapon's S-ATK into T-ATK". The weapon has no S-ATK, so does that mean that the potential ability is stupid and does absolutely nothing?

Thanks

Question about XQ's stone farming.

-I haven't really done much with XQ's so I was wondering what are the general best floors to farm stones on. (specifically the Forest XQ for crimson stones.)

-Is it worth while to do full runs 1-60 for the bonus 15 stones?

-or would it be best to wait till the Forest XQ gets the floor 1-70 25 bonus stones to farm stones for units?

I would personally say wait a week as it will make is much easier. Considering a full unit set is 150 Ores, that would be 100+ passes to get all the ores with the 60 floor clear bonus, probably closer to 110-120 with no boost used. Next week, it will be closer to 80 passes for a set.

Edit: Just realized you said Forest and not Tundra. In that case, it's really up to you on how long you wish to wait.

[AkumaYouji]

Is perfect keeper for gunner activated when YOUR HP is at 100 or the ENEMIES, cause the description says increases damage dealt against enemies when HP are at 100% which to me implies that it applies to the enemies HP (since the are) but it wouldn't make sense because you would get one shot for 20% then it just goes back down which seems kind of pointless. which leads me to believe that when your own HP is at 100 you get the boost. thanks for any info.

Your HP at 100%--meaning if you take even just 1 damage, you lose the bonus until you're back to full.

[GoldenFalcon]

100% Player HP bonus is what Perfect Keeper is (as answered above)

100% Enemy HP bonus is called First Hit on the Ranger tree

[.Jack]

It's not a program, it's called downsampling, and you just have to use custom resolution.

Thanks, I looked into it and it seems I don't have that option available. Since I'm using Optimus technology the Nvidia control panel's display settings tab isn't there but in the Intel resolution settings which don't go any higher like the Nvidia panel would have. Looks like I'm stuck at 1080 shots unless there's a program that allows me to tweak that. :/

hmm well it's true that I can wait a week and get a R-atk 11* armor with the Scarlet ore's. The only thing is that the themed set that I would like is for Crimson ore's, the only question is to wait or not to wait.

Question: Anyone else bumping into Ragnes as often as I do? .__.

Almost every exploration map I go to (say 75% of them) I encountered AT LEAST 1 damn Ragne.
I meet up to 2-4 Ragnes per day in like 5 free exploration maps and there was this one day I met 6 in 6 different free exploration maps in 3 planets.

Am I the only Ragne magnet here?

[Rakurai]

I've noticed that Darker bosses in general seem to have a higher chance of appearing on the first map of free fields, due to the main boss of the area typically not spawning there.

I've had occasional Ragne plagues in the past, as well.

[Skye-Fox713]

Why not the Tian set?

Because the 11* units come pre-affixed with some pretty decent abilities for those who don't like to take risks affixing their own units. In addition the Set bonus for all 11* units is +90 atk to all atk stats.

They affixes aren't GREAT, but they work. Even so, two slot affixing usually isn't expensive unless SEGA really has it out for you. A Tian set is +90 R-ATK and 10 PP for it's set bonus. It has no inherent bonuses, but you can always craft them(which you should). It also gives you the option of a leg unit. Either way works though.

You're not really risking much since they increased the overall success rate of [stat III] and [Spirita III] with [Quartz/Mizer/Elder Soul] effectively making it 80% across the board with 3 Souls, 100% if you use Ability Grind Sucess +20%.

( for the sake of this discussion I'll use 3 slotting as an example)

Yeah, they come pre-affixed, but you lose out on 25 of your [stat] and 7 PP per unit ([Ability III + Arma] vs [Soul] + [ Stat III] + [Spirita III]). Besides, you asked for R-ATK, which the Tian gives 90 as well as 10 PP while boasting higher defensive stats and room for a White Tail.

And you save your ores for Spellstones.

Since we're talking units, i really need some melee units, for rupi (lolbraverwithuncraftedvardhaset) and raven2 (fi). Is there any set in particular i should be looking at? As i can't find a decent tian equivalent with s-atk

You'll just have to go with blitz and/or gloam, or XQ sets.

Gloam/Blitz with White Tail for maximum PP for spammy spam, but anything works for Braver. If you want high defense, the new Dark Falz set is pretty nice and has lovely hidden bonuses. Either those or settle for the 11* XQ ones for the 90 stat bonuses.
