How can I purchase premium for this game in the US? or alternatively, is there any way for me to purchase 10 stars off the player shop without premium? i'll need to buy a 10+ star and 10+ grind weapon later on.


also, where can i actually do AQs? where can i unlock them?

Two method to get AC to buy Premium.

1. Buy webmoney from third party, and input that through the Sega pso2.jp website
2. Buy AC through Google play through PSO2es

There is no way to purchase 10* without premium pass.
To get Premium pass, you need a 10* weapon or Unit(Easy to get in the current EQ)
And Premium to trade in Premium pass for said type item.

oh, i didn't know premium was something you bought in game like with AC.

how much AC does it cost and how do you buy it in game?

[GHNeko]

100AC = 100YEN = Roughly 1$

3000 AC = 3000 YEN without Tax. With Tax, it was 3180 YEN. Which was 31.18$ USD.

[noobishcholo]

So, I'm still fairly new to this game and just had a quick question on the structure of purchasing premium.

I understand that the only benefits it comes with are the ability to trade, premium blocks, player shops, and a room. However, at what level or point in the game is it worth it to get premium?

Thanks!

You also get more slots for taking quests, and get 3 more for crafting, useful for daily craft that give tech PA stuff that can sell for 10k each.

Go to ac shop from menu, above scratch. Last I checked premium for 30 days was 1300 AC. Check cirnopedia for Japanese name of the ticket u need to get.

Thanks!Premium are best used at late gaming. you probably have something to sell, trade for passes at that point.

[manthisis]

so what are quest slots and what are they for? how do i do AQs and XQs?

Mid to End game is my personal answer. I'm not quite end game yet, but I'm making a lot of use out of premium.

I feel you can make a lot of use out of premium early game, but that requires more of an investment past simply getting premium.

Like take me for example. I bought an extra support partner for 300AC. Now my Fetch Quest COs get done pretty much twice as fast, unless both supports fail on a fetch quest CO (normally boss ones).

As such, I get the EXP and Meseta from those COs faster AND I usually end up with a ton of spare items. These spares I throw up in my shop and within a few hours to 2 days, most of them have been sold.

Another example. With your increased CO limit, this means you'll be more likely to pick up more and more CO items. So spending AC to increase inventory limit would help finish COs faster as you'll be able to hold more unique items.

You get the idea.

[Rendezvous]

so what are quest slots and what are they for?

Elaborate?


how do i do AQs

Stay with each other while going around the map to kill everything, search every nook, cranny, and dead-end.


XQs?

Each XQ session consists of 5 stages, each stage has their own clear requirements. Fulfill these requirements to the best of your ability and advance.

[Otokonokotron]

not really a question.... but i was just doin stage 16 of forest/dragons where u gotta fight a chrome dragon and a dark ragne together. i was like, o noes, but then the chrome dragon did the thing when he eats all nearby darkers, and he ate the dark ragne. it made me giggle hehehhe

Yeah, that happened with Zesh before in one of my runs. Chrome has quite the appetite.

If you're going Bow, atleast have Ra sub to be atleast somewhat useful to your party members.

Br/Hu is Katana/Hybrid Bravers. in which almost nobody uses bows except those who have the money to fund the units and weapons needed to be viable in mobbing.

What is the different between Photon Blast P, I, and N? and which one is the best?

[Rakurai]

There are five different Photon Blast types with three different attacks for each (Which is what the letters denote).

Which one is best is dependent on what class you're using, save for Ketos Proi, which is universally useful (Due to it increasing PP regen instead of attacking).

I'm a gunner and my mag is ajax

Ajax P (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2SbdUpCrs#t=44s) - Attacks with a bombardment of explosive bullets, annihilating anything in front of it.

Ajax I (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2SbdUpCrs#t=52s) - Fires off a photon Maser from its head, descending on targets like hail.

Ajax N (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2SbdUpCrs#t=64s) - Scatters phoenix wings each with their own will, turning into bullets piercing their target.

I prefer the Photon Shop one, ケートス・プロイ aka Ketos Proi, as it restores PP. But that is my preference, if you want more damage, any of the R-ATK base for your Gunner might tickle your fancy. More can be read here (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/mag_2.php#nav).

Elder souls are so expensive now ;_; I'm trying to elder/tech3/spirita3 some units, but want to make sure I'm doing it right to avoid unnecessary expense. I have my units x/x/x now. Best course of action now is to brute force elder/x/x, and brute force fodders with elder/tech/x and elder/spirita/x, then combine all with a 20% booster for guaranteed? Or is there a better way, since elder souls are like 100k per 3s right now?

[Dragonpie852]

If someone buys a character and would want to remake it is that possible like it is with the free chars? Also what happens to the friendslist or team a player is in if they change ships?

[omgwtflolbbl]

Dunno about remaking characters, but friends/teams are on a per-ship basis. I have a character on ship 2 that I mostly play on and is teamless, and a character on ship 10 that is on a team with some friends. They have separate friends lists and the ship 10 char has access to team ship and can see team menu, while the ship 2 char can't.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering what Rod/Talis I should get as a FO/TE for the Ice element?

[Pugas87]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering what Rod/Talis I should get as a FO/TE for the Ice element?

It depends. But you should definitely get ice element on it for element conversion.

Rods: You could get チェイドラーケン which has a latent boosting damage 20% (at lvl 3) against oceanoids (which are of course weak to ice).

Rods/talis: Anything with dragon hunter for your cave dragons (also weak to ice).
Anything with oceanoid hunter (see above).

Wand (you can craft it to allow force to use, if it already doesn't): Mace of adaman boosts ice techs as a latent... Elysion is awesome +100% boost to uncharged techs. Get that one.

I hadn't thought of using those Enemy Hunter latents, thanks for the suggestions!
Also, one more question, I notice that the Bio Rod has ice on it (although the Talis version doesn't, but I could convert it) with the JA latent, are they better than the ones suggested in your post?

[GoldenFalcon]

Yes, a latent that is good against everything would be more ideal

If you only use ice, you wouldn't want to be stuck playing 2 areas

There is no better way due to the fact that the Dark Falz Elder EQ is now rare and is the only soul that boosted both Spirita AND Technique. However, the alternative is to use another T-ATK soul and brute force 2 Spirita fodders instead of one, this will give you 80% across the board.

Elder boosts Spirita's success rate now yeah?

So basically it's:

He asked for an alternative. Since he is reluctant on buying Elder Souls, he has to buy another T-ATK soul and add an extra Spirita on one of his fodders for it to be 80%.

We both know that reading is not your strongest suit.

3 souls = 80%.
2 Spirita IIIs = 80%*
1 Stat III = 80.

1 Spirita III with Elder Soul would be 80%, if not then it's 60.

In the original post, he wants 100%. If that's not guaranteed, then my knowledge of the English language isn't as extensive as I thought it was.

Why are you contradicting yourself like that? It's unsightly.

Incorrect, 1 soul with Tech III is 80%, regardless of soul. Spirita III is only 80% with Elder Soul or 2 Spirita III. The reason you want 3 souls is for the soul itself to be 80%.

don't know why, but he does do this a lot, but i just ignore him :-?

i have a quick question: when you get a power boost/other AC affix item, it's a base 100% success rate, but if i had 3 slots and i just wanted to use the power boost to make it 4 slot, would it be affected by the extra slot penalty as well?

Like every thread that you're in, ever.

They do, since PB uses your attack to calculate the damage. The damage variance of the weapon (crafted rares vs non-crafted rares) also affects the damage variance of the Photon Blast.

Thanks guys, it seems that going a roundabout way would be just as, if not more expensive in the long run due to brute forcing affixes with 50% ish success rates. I'll just bite the bullet and manage with the elder souls. Probably cost me a few days of TACOs to cover.

He was correct at the part of Elder Soul boosting both Technique and Spirita. What I don't understand is that he insists that 2 Spirita be put on the fodder, while fact is that only one is needed. So in conclusion, you will want these:

Elder Soul - Technique III - x
Elder Soul - Spirita III - x
Elder Soul - x - x

You will end up at 80%/80%/80%. With a 20% booster, you should end up with all of them at 100%.

[Cyber Meteor]

@Kantalope There is also Malluda Soul that boost both Spirita and Technique but it has +20 TATK and SATK and PP+2 instead of TATK+30 and PP+3

[infiniteeverlasting]

Yes.5

so is it more costly to get your weapon to 4 slots or to get a +30% affix booster instead?

and for melee, is the resan set better or the uranus set?

[omgwtflolbbl]

Why are you using Quartz Soul as an example for affixing with Spirita III there? It's pretty obvious that his information is in the context of +30 t-atk boosting souls due to the original person asking for stuff that will boost, you know, t-atk. Quartz Soul and Mizer Soul both have the same effect on Spirita III that Elder Soul does but aren't t-atk souls, so your point is with your pictures is... what, exactly?

For Elder soul, you just need Elder/x/x on target, Elder/Spirita III/x on fodder 1, and Elder/Tech III/x on fodder 2, and you'll get 80/80/80. If you replace Elder with Ragne or Wolga soul as cheaper t-atk alternatives, then your base rates will drop to 80/80/60, that 60 being Spirita III. In order to increase that 60 base to 80, you'd need to have Spirita III on another of the items. That's the whole point of Rendezvous' posts - getting a guaranteed Spirita III with a non-Elder t-atk soul.

For the "1 soul with tech III is 80%", he's obviously referring to the 80% success rate of tech III, not the success rate of the soul. I would think that is obvious, but that's the only reason I could possibly imagine for you posting the tech III/elder soul image.

When he suggested 2 fodders with soul and spirita III attached, he also specified that he would use this method only if he was using an alternative to elder soul (ex. ragne or wolg). So there isn't any conflict. I mean... one of the two original questions was basically asking if there was an alternative to Elder Soul because it is so expensive right now.

[Rendezvous]

He was correct at the part of Elder Soul boosting both Technique and Spirita. What I don't understand is that he insists that 2 Spirita be put on the fodder, while fact is that only one is needed. So in conclusion, you will want these:

You will end up at 80%/80%/80%. With a 20% booster, you should end up with all of them at 100%.

The person you are trying to prove right to was looking for an alternative to using Elder Souls, which your selective reading capabilities failed to notice-yet was explained to you across multiple posts. You weren't wrong, but the context you believe you were right is irrelevant to this discussion.

I think it's cheaper to 3 slot + 30%.

Any S-ATK set for melee classes works, but I would recommend the Blitz set as you can wear a White Tail for more PP.

Because the transfer rate for Spirita III WITHOUT Elder Soul is 60%.

So what, you mean that the [Soul] that you wrote out is not Elder Soul, but another soul? What kind of fodder are you trying to make here?

I'm sorry I fail so hard at understanding this.

[omgwtflolbbl]

Instead of making a final item with

Elder Soul/Tech III/Spirita III

using Ragne or Wolg Soul as an alternative because they are cheaper, so

Ragne Soul/Tech III/Spirita III or
Wolg Soul/Tech III/Spirita III

which still keeps Elder Soul's +30 t-atk while being possibly cheaper to make overall, which I'm assuming is the main purpose.

Hence the bolded part below in his original post:

Ahh ahh, thanks for the explanation. I was getting confused because I didn't know the "another T-ATK soul"was referring to another type of soul, but rather something like a fodder of Tech 3 / Soul.

My bad.
But really, I think the cost of going through another fodder like that will probably round up being close to doing straight-up Elder Soul, and in the end, you don't get that extra PP.

Might be just my own experience with affixing luck though.

[Kantalope]

I think I'll still aim for the elder soul, but is brute forcing the fodder the best way, being that the 3s elders were ~100k each? I have never affixed my armor before, and just want to make sure I don't throw out all of my meseta getting nowhere because I was clueless.

It all heavily depends on your luck, and if you feel like it.

If you already had your destination armor piece at Elder Soul/x/x, then brute forcing might not be a bad idea, since 2s Elder units are probably half the price of 3s ones. And even at 3s, you still have a decent chance of failing your soul, because the best it could sit at when creating fodder is 50% - or 60% if you use a 10% booster. Since slot penalties are lower than they were before now, you probably will manage to get the fodders paying less using 2s than using 3s.

I have had cases where both ways result in similar cost. But it's just my luck, I can't assume it's the same for everyone.

There should be a secondary SEGA folder in "My Documents". It has your screenshots & chatlog. It's separate from the 'other' SEGA folder in Program Files/x86 that contains all the game's component files.

Each Elder fodder you try to make will have success rates of 50/80/100, assuming you use

elder/x/x as the target for fodder #1, elder/x/x as fodder #1.1, and tech/x/x as fodder #1.2
elder/x/x as the target for fodder #2, elder/x/x as fodder #2.1, and spirita/x/x as fodder # 2.2.

Each fodder will have a 40% chance of success, and requires two elder/x/x pieces each obviously.

If you use an alternative soul (say Ragne), the fodder #2 above would become 50/60/100, and you would want to put that on your main target item as well. So fodder #1 (soul/tech/x) will have a 40% overall chance of success still, but fodder #2 now has an overall 30% chance of creation, and you have to deal with another 30% chance on your main target as well.

I don't know what the current prices are but the way you go is up to you. If two slot Elder fodder is really, really cheap in comparison you could try to just expand your way into it, but the rate of success is obviously lower so yeah (37.5/60/75 on your fodder, maybe?).

Also, my own question... did they massively buff transfer/success rates in the past year? I could have sworn that a year ago you needed, say, 2x tech IIIs along with your t-atk souls AND a 20% booster in order to get 100% tech III transfer rate on final item. I could remember wrong, but I feel like all the non-Soul/Stigma/etc. stuff have like 20% higher success rate than they used to. I don't even remember being able to add 1 slot onto an unslotted item with 100% success rate.

@infiniteeverlasting:

Also, just in case you didn't know, you can take Screenshots without accessing the Quick Menu by pushing the "Print Screen" Button on your keyboard (I have no idea how this will work on a controller, don't use one for PSO2 gaming). That way, when you take pictures, you don't have a Screenshot of the Menus and what not.

Didn't you answer your own question when you said to create Elder/Tech3/junk and Elder/spirita3/junk fooder? It looked like you were aware that sega trashed the old list of soul's boosting misc stat3 for a new list. Where all single Atk boost their own atk and 2nd stat + possibly some random linked stat or from the old list. Only the hybrid soul start making less sense. The soul still give a 20% boost to their corresponding stat3, but it also include the creation of their stat3 AND stat4.

[omgwtflolbbl]

Well, I wasn't sure if I just remembered wrong or not, which is why I'm asking. I stopped playing for a year, so some things I'm unsure of if I just recall incorrectly. I understand how it works now, but not entirely sure if it was changed since I quit as I only vaguely remember how it used to be (and thus could just be memory error).

[GHNeko]

It is true that you can only open up Luther's clock via mirage 3 times total? After that you have to force it open via arms.

You can do it more than that, but the chances get lower each time and to the point where the chance of doing so is almost non-existent. 4 is a decent amount of times before it gets really low.

Search the Japanese name: リア／フォリーカット.

[omgwtflolbbl]

When you're using the english patches and whatnot, some items can be searched using their english name. You can't just directly search it, though, you have to press the button to the right of the name field, which will then do a prospective search for any actual items that fit that name. If there's anything valid they'll have the form of XXXX | YYYY, with XXXX being the Japanese name and YYYY being the English name, which you can then select your item from and delete the " | XXXX" from, and search using the Japanese that's leftover. For many items, though, this doesn't work and it's best to just use either Cirnopedia or the Japanese wiki to find the item (name) in question.

For abilities you will want to search using the full English name, though. For example, search using "quartz soul" instead of just "quartz" or the actual Japanese name.

[Lego]

Is Elemental Weak Hit worth it on Techer tree? Playing as Fo/TE mostly.

[Rakurai]

If you have multiple FO and TE skill trees to take advantage of, then yes.

If you can't change your element to suit whatever it is you're fighting in an area, then its value goes down a lot.

[GHNeko]

You can do it more than that, but the chances get lower each time and to the point where the chance of doing so is almost non-existent. 4 is a decent amount of times before it gets really low.

Is there like a formula on this or something?

In fact...is there a formula for proc rates on status effects?

Having my tech say 20 Mirage leads me to believe that that value is 20% proc rate...

Which is anything but fucking truth. augh.

[gaijin_punch]

Question about the latent that adds 10% to the element (fire, wind, light, etc.). Is it damage * .1? So if the element is light, I'm doing 10% more damage to everything with light weakness?

[GoldenFalcon]

So if the element is light, I'm doing 10% more damage to everything

answered your question.


Having my tech say 20 Mirage leads me to believe that that value is 20% proc rate...

This seems quite tough, because 22 status rate is the highest ANY wind technic can go. Razan with the +2 hits and +2 status rate seems like the best bet for inflicting Mirage, unless you can get regular Zan to work

Anyone having an issue with the english patch causing a black screen after the intro? I Just updated my game, i usually start it up first before patching (Not sure why) but after that i close PSO2 & install the english patch.

Had the same problem earlier.

2nd update: Re-installed every patches; black screen after the intro.
3rd update: Downloaded and re-installed latest EN patch from psumod and now everything's working great.


Question about Braver's Average S Charge on Shunka. Does it affect all 4 slashes or only the first one?

[Cybermynd]

My question is where do I go from here.

Currently 38/28 Br/Hu with current equips
1* Sword,Partizan,W.Lance Ex Lv1 +10
1* Katana and Bow also Ex lv 1 +10
Blitz sign and arm +5
and some Jagd Coda leg peice also +5

I'm not currently premium but I should have some AC coming in shortly if its required.

Any suggestions as to where to go from here? All I'm currently doing is trying to level but I know I'm going to hit a wall at some point in the near future.

Always +10 your gear. Run TACOS for money to do so. Start finding some cool weapons or buy them. 1star extended lvl 1 weapons are not that powerful at all. Join a team in order to find more people to hang out/quest with. Lvl up 38/28 is far from 70/70 which is truly the point to ask the question: where do I go from here.

Edit: If you do find you are hitting a wall, try a new class or make a new character. As you can see from my signature, I have a plurality of classes and characters that prevent me from getting bored.

[Pugas87]

FUN scratch is where its at. Sell some of those things you get for money, like grind risk reductions +1 ~40kish a piece depending on market. You can also get other things besides lobby actions at the FUN shop, such as grind risk reductions, but you will probably get more with the scratch than straight up buying them.

You provide the material and a set cost to the person making the tech.
You should check with the person, and see if they have the Tech 3 room deco that give 4% great success first.
Each person can set 3 recipe.

I noticed this as well. It actually does save it, except when you go to look again, it reverts to a default choice (edit: kind of like the observer effect lol). So go into the screen settings, make your pick, then start PSO2. It should be in the setting you just chose. I found that worked for me, even though every time I opened the screen settings window again it would revert to a different screen setting.

[Melodys]

Is it worth learning an Efficient II megid recipe? I have one that is -9PP but +.26 seconds of cast time. I've heard mixed opinions about it like the longer cast time making it hard to use in the middle of a fight like when you're swarmed with Goldras or something and getting less mileage from PP convert. By the way, I use a Weddle Park rod so I don't have to worry about throwing a Talis after every 4 casts.

Most people go for less PP cost, able to cast more, as the power increase doesn't really make it that strong, and it moving slower isn't that good.

[IndigoNovember]

Which one does more damage, Immediate Strike (JA Potential) or Enraged Stance (Fury Stance Potential)?

[Evangelion X.XX]

Immediate Strike Lv. 3: 5% Boost.

Enraged Stance Lv. 3: 3% Boost.

[IndigoNovember]

Fury Stance's 1.25 vs JA Bonus's 1.2 doesn't factor in at all?

[Zekester]

I tried looking up past AC/Fun Accessories to find Quartz Helm, does anyone know if it was obtained through specific means (like Ex's Helm; had to spend 5000AC)?

if not, does anyone have the text so I may search player shops.

[GoldenFalcon]

Fury Stance's 1.25 vs JA Bonus's 1.2 doesn't factor in at all?

Latents just give another small multiplier. Like Fury Stance Up 3 or a third JA Bonus

[Aurorra]

Fury Stance's 1.25 vs JA Bonus's 1.2 doesn't factor in at all?

I think Fury Stance's does, but not JA Bonus. Enraged Stance makes Fury Stance into a 1.28 bonus, while Immediate Strike is a separate 1.05 bonus making it even better.

[GoldenFalcon]

I think Fury Stance's does

From what I know, there aren't ANY damage bonuses in the game that are additive.

Just taking the English translation at face value since it says "Boosts the effect of Fury Stance by 3%" rather than "Increases damage (or attack power) by 3% when in Fury Stance".

And on a second note why is Enraged Stance just so bad, you'd think they'd buff it since it's the weakest potential out there and they've been buffing all other slightly weak potentials.

Ah, got it. Thanks for the explanation.

[Atlantis419]

Ok so I'm wondering, I've used hunter weapons for a long time I can swear the gear for those weapon really don't do anything. Am I imaging this? I mean i guess the partizan gear I do notice a little extra range but I barely use partizan anyway. For sure the wired lancer and sword doesn't seem to do anything. I'm guessing that sword gear only affect some pa's and those are the ones that aren't really used?

[IndigoNovember]

Wired Lance gear is a damage buff to grabbing PAs (aka things like Other Spin and not things like Kaiser Rise). Sword gear does a lot of things not limited to increasing charge speed (Ride Slasher, Guilty Break, Rising Edge, Nova Strike), increasing amount of hits (Sonic Arrow, Twister Fall), increasing animation speed (Cruel Throw), increasing attack range (Stun Concide), and increasing damage (Over End). Reduces amount of time needed to absorb for Sacrifice Bite.

[omgwtflolbbl]

Sword Gear level 3 is extremely noticeable, I don't know how you can NOT notice any differences lmao. On Overend, the small swings get a pretty decent damage boost, and Sonic Arrow increases the number of projectiles. Nova Strike and Rising Edge gain additional strikes/spins. Most (all?) charging PAs like the 2 above and Guilty Break and Ride Slasher charge far, far faster (like, maybe 1 second of charging vs. 4-5 seconds of charging) and generally do more damage.

Unless you use Sword only for Overend spam, Sword is like... unusable without Sword Gear.

Not that Sword is in that good of a spot right now, anyways, considering the alternatives.

[Atlantis419]

Absolutely not unusable. I mainly use guilty break and twister fall. I only use over end if a boss is stunned otherwise it's pretty much guilty and twister. Problem is sword seems to never charge gear so no, I haven't even noticed if it did anything cause everything would be dead and sword just doesn't seem to build gear. I also don't charge guilty break as 12 is enough to 1 or 2 shot most stuff. I use sword for Mobs only now a days and my fi weapons on bosses so I just don't notice it. It's why I'm asking cause I'm thinking of reseting the tree and considering which gears to drop and if fury gear boost is worth it. As for wl, I don't use the holding pa's anymore so I guess that's why I don't see it do anything either. I guess this insight does give me an idea though. I have spare sp so I'll try 1 point in fury gear boost and check out how the sword at lv3 works out first before I do anything. Alright thanks guys.

[GHNeko]

They're worth using.

Problem is, the only one of them that's actually available is J, and only as a natural ability on the full T-ATK mags.

Well getting that full TATK mag @ lvl 30 isnt a problem since I'm BRFO.

Still though...

The fact that the other 2 device cant be obtained is maddening.

[Silver Crow]

Is there any way to make use of Standing Snipe with launchers? Or is it pretty much a Rifle only Skill? (trying to consider whether to get Launcher with Standing Snipe potential)

[GoldenFalcon]

Is there any way to make use of Standing Snipe with launchers? Or is it pretty much a Rifle only Skill? (trying to consider whether to get Launcher with Standing Snipe potential)

If you want every launcher PA to get Standing Snipe bonus, you'd need to do 2 normal attacks after every PA, which happens to coincide with avoiding the 'reload' animation

[Silver Crow]

Normal attack on the ground, then use your PA.

Oh, that's true, my mind was so used to jumping with launcher I ignored the fact you could do that. I guess it's worth waiting for the long animation to get +30% dmg.

[Rendezvous]

I have spare sp so I'll try 1 point in fury gear boost and check out how the sword at lv3 works out first before I do anything. Alright thanks guys.

1 point into Fury Gear makes a noticeable difference and is a substantial buff to Sword Gear/Hunters overall due to the fact that is is harder to accumulate and maintain Sword Gear compared to the other Hunter weapons. 5 points is a luxury, but it is so nice.

1) Theres no cap on Risk, but it'd be safe to say if it IS capped, it's 999. I've been in 300 risk before so theres that. The best way to increase pyroxene drop rates though is to use items with Lucky Rise and Lucky Rise units. They'll boost the number of pyroxenes dropped. (The 3000 stone weapons are pretty worthless, not sure why you're aiming for them besides using them as 6 slot fodder.)

2) The sad truth of the matter is, Psycho Wand is utter garbage, seeing as you cannot 50 element it. Thus you can't benefit from 25% extra damage by having a 50 element weapon and Elemental Conversion which is Force's new bread and butter. The thing psycho wand IS good for however, is for spamming Il Zonde. (Spam Il Zonde to basically have triple dash speed.)

(The 3000 stone weapons are pretty worthless, not sure why you're aiming for them besides using them as 6 slot fodder.)

2) The sad truth of the matter is, Psycho Wand is utter garbage, seeing as you cannot 50 element it. Thus you can't benefit from 25% extra damage by having a 50 element weapon and Elemental Conversion which is Force's new bread and butter. The thing psycho wand IS good for however, is for spamming Il Zonde. (Spam Il Zonde to basically have triple dash speed.)

1) Well, unfortunately, I have the worst luck when it comes to getting a good bow. Every 10* bow I've gotten has been low-tier crap. While the 3000 rare stone fort buster bow isn't the best, it's still 1081 r-atk at +10. Also, I don't have the money to spend to be premium right now cause my budget is stupid tight. So for now, it's something that's better than nothing. In a few months, I might be able to relax a bit, but for now, I'm a non-premium player :S

2) So what you're saying is that any 12* weapon for force type character is legit crap now? I mean unless I get another Psycho Wand that is? What's the point of a 12* weapon then if it can't do good damage? :S

[GHNeko]

Anyone have any recommendations for a Zonde spell? I feel like they're all wack. Sans Zondeel. That shit is awesome, but it's more utility than damage and is a 2 part tech.

I'm looking for a single part damaging Zonde spell that isnt meh. Something nice. Currently using Zonde since nothing else really fits the bill.

I'd add Zondeel to my primate sub-palette and then add another zonde tech to my sub-palette, but my primary sub-palette real estate is not only extremely precious to me, but I don't want to switch back and forth between sub-palettes for the sack of damage because it's tedious as I play on a controller and I have to navigate through the weapon menu first for whatever fucking reason.

Help?

If you're level 55 you should try running SHAQs, I've gotten plenty of 11* bows theres. And the new EQ might drop a bow, not entirely sure.

Right now any 12* Force weapon is pretty much trash yeah. Even with 50 element they're lackluster because their potentials aren't really that special (compared to the other potentials ilke 16% Dark Damage). Actually. In general most of the 12*s in the game right now PERIOD are pretty bad, except Orochi Agito and a few others.

Your best bets are Zonde, Zondeel, Sazonde, and Il Zonde. To be honest though Lightning tree is completely terrible as it stands right now. Dark Fo/Te (gg Il Megid) is the Force metagame right now, along with Ice (Il Barta destroys) and Wind (for those who can't give up their Sazan16 ways).

But now I have a new question;
Seimei Kikami (+ Talis Tech Bonus) vs Weddle Park
Assuming both are at Lvl. 3 latent (Dark tech damage boost), fully grinded, 50 element and with proper abilities,

Will Weddle Park outdo Seimei Kikami, or would the bonus from the Talis Tech help compete against Weddle Park?

Looking at this, I'll assume that was pre-Elemental Conversion. But like Sizu said, more gear, the more important that multiplier is gonna be. If you're rocking 100 T-ATK units with that Talis Mastery, it's gonna help a lot more than the Weddle Perk.

Keep in mind, big hitting moves like Namegid are gonna get an even bigger booster from that 20%. Because 20% of 150k is an extra 30k. (This is basically why you can get 1m+ with Namegid on a Quartz Dragon now.)

Standing Snipe works on anything that Weak Hit Advance works on, meaning any bullet-type attack (I specify bullet-type because some ratk moves won't get it, like the kicks that some mechgun and bow moves have which are counted as striking despite using ratk). You just have to stay immobile for a period before using the attack.

Yes, but you cant level up your character through es. You can bring your PC character to TNL-1 at max. Then you have to log in to PC, get that 1 point, and then you can do it all over in ES.

It works the other way too, but only 10% of EXP gained in PC goes towards es.

edit: Also, does it usually start from stage 1, all the way through?

You can't trade or sell XQ pass in shop.
How it work is agree on a price and run, and you have enough ticket for yourself and the other person and do the run together.

How payment is make will depend on if the other person has premium or the gift box.
If no premium, you usualy put a item for sale in your shop for the agree d price. or have them deposit the money with gift box in your room.

I think he misworded the question. He doesn't meant the boost you get from Kiara... he just means Stamina I, II, III, etc. are in the slot already.

The answer to the question: If you add two more items that both have the same Stamina, then yes, the transfer rate is 100%. However, if you want to fill the extra slot, the rate will drop.

[Melodys]

What's the best way to level up from lvl 30 to 50 outside of COs? I know there's always eqs on but my friend says there are a lot of scrub players in the H-VH blocks. Any eqs involving following around an MPA is fine like Wind and Rain. It's more of a gamble with Falz arms/Elder.

If trying Apos/Luther, I was thinking that my friend should forget doing it on H-VH and do repeated N runs instead on B2-3 due to all the high levels almost guaranteeing 20-30 seconds runs whereas in H-VH, many parties could potentially take over 5-10 minutes or not even kill Apos, making it inefficient for exp.

It's the same with TD as well except there's no benefit running it on N so my friend is stuck on the H-VH blocks.

They specifically said Stamina Boost, and 100% transfer rate.
So it's safe to assume they mean the affix "Stamina Boost"

When you affix, you don't "Add" affixes to an item, you throw all of the affixes and re-roll an item.
-X Stat- Boost affixes can never be thrown into the pool by normal means. You -must- use the AC Item to throw it into the pool.

So Arada's answer is the correct one.

I find Falz Arms the best method of exp. Lots of other good Multiparty EQs I would imagine people run on their mains, so you won't get very good parties for. (TD, Earth/Wind, Luther, etc.)
But it seems like Hard-Falz is pretty easy for people's alts, so I always level my alts there.

Otherwise, there's Franka COs for extra boost of experience. Buy from Player Shop and turn in to get it done faster.

Beyond that; idk. I don't power level alts, but rather play my main more.
If your talking about different classes on your main though; Do Hans COs on your higher level class, and change class then turn in on the weak one.

I have a Calibun set and a Primula set and was wondering if I should level 5 craft them or not? What the negative implications be, besides loss of resistances and -10 HP?

[Sp-24]

Extended units have their defense stats and special abilities (like resistances and HP/PP bonuses) overwritten with those of an extended unit, are not considered a part of a set anymore and receive rather steep stat requirements in stats that no one ever increases (defenses).　You don't lose affixes, though.

And I understand crafting the Primula set, but why the Calbun units? They have a very rad melee resistance.

EDIT: And, since you don't lose the affixes after extending, why don't you craft a unit that is easier and cheaper to grind, and comes with better bonuses than a set of 10☆ EQ units?

They gain hp/pp based on the type of X-def craft. They are also still part of a set for set bonus.

uh, think about it for a minute.

example you have 150 PP, 50% would be 75, you have 75 PP left to Cluster Bullet.

then you have 100 PP, 50% would be 50.

[GHNeko]

It's a double edge sword actually.

Too much PP means you'd need to PA more to get to 50% so it'd be technically harder to proc the potential, but you'd get to use it longer.

Too little means it's easier to proc it but you'd be quick to deactivate it since it wont take long to get above 50%.

Not only because of the price people put on them but also because sometimes there's only 2 or 3 of that item on the market...

At this point, i'll take even rumors as to what sega is doing with this lol

[Gamemako]

Did searches, couldn't come up with a solid answer. Old character from around beta and early release is on Ship 10 -- I quit to wait for English release that never came. Block 20 has no English-speakers of note anymore. I hear leveling is much easier now (getting the initial 3 to level 20 took me dozens of hours), but I'm still not too inclined to bail, lose my character and bouquet rifle and so on. Is there anyone on Ship 10 anymore or should I transfer or reroll on 2?

[Evex]

Just a question about characters and ships. From my understanding we have two free character slots. The second is that it cost AC to transfer a character to another ship. I was wondering if I wanted to create a character on another ship do I have to delete a character from a previous ship ?

Let me explain using the following example.

I have a character on ship 2, which can be considered the primary character. I have a free character slot and want to create a character on say ship 10. Do I need to delete the character on ship 2 to create a character on ship 10, or can I just use the free slot I have to create a character on ship 10 ?

[Sizustar]

This is going to sound really stupid, but can someone explain to me how Il Barta works? I recently switched to an Ice tree (65/65 Fo/Te), and I don't even know how to use Il Barta properly.

It's like Il-foi(Lock on and cast, can go through wall), except damage stack, the 4th and 7th cast on the same target get the highest boost damaage, and then it start over.
So for people with Els, they cast 6 normal cast quickly, and a full charge cast on the 7th.

They've been recycling stuff for awhile now, just check the AC scratch roster, and see which one has the revival tag on it.

There might be, but most likely it'll be friend guild with less then 100 people
With the introduction of PSO2es, it's much easier to get AC now, if you want to tranfer, but getting to level 20, shouldn't take more then a few hour.

2 Character per account.
So you can have 1 on Ship1, ONe on Ship 2, but that's your max quota, if you want to make more, you eaither have to pay AC or get rid of one of the old on e.

This is just out of curiosity, but is the storage you get with a character ship wide or is it account wide ? Going with my previous example if I have a character on ship 2 can another character I have access the same storage if there on ship 7 ? The same question applies to mail as well.

Ship based.

I see. I would guess that there is no way to get the bouquet rifle back if I reroll, though?

Also, I understand that the emergency operations are supposed to be the fastest way to level, but I did a 20-minute one earlier and got only half a level through 5 emergency codes. Granted, I was solo, but that seems pretty low to be doing 1-20 in a few hours. Is there some trick to the business?

how do you take clean screens without all the subpallete/chat log clutter?

[Gardios]

You can change whether or not you want the HUD visible in screenshots in the options.

Depends on which emergency quest you are doing, and whether you are doing it with a full 12 person group, and eating the 50%~75% exp boost.

Quickest way is one that has alot of enemy spawn, like the new Rain EQ, or any of the Darker city, even Dark falz hand or Bird that can be cleared quickly is good for exp.
And if you have a team, drink the EXP boost from that too.

You mean Rafoie? Ilfoie doesn't do either of those things, and Ilbarta is different anyway. Description could use a little refining too.

Ilbarta is closer to Namegid. If you don't have a target, it will do absolutely nothing. It has almost no radius, but will damage multiple targets if they're Zondeeled together or otherwise forced in the same spot. Ilbarta does half of its normal damage uncharged, so it's very good with Elysion, getting the full damage without needing to charge. For the first three hits, it does normal damage, but for the 4th-6th hits, it does doubled damage. The 7th hit does even more damage, but resets the chain, so if you continue to use Ilbarta, you must resume stacking casts again.

Of note, Ilbarta's damage is such that you must charge the 7th hit to get full damage. The 7th hit, uncharged, is 200% what you would normally do. The final hit does 800% charged. So Elysion would still result in you dealing half of what you normally would uncharged for the final hit. As such, always charge for the 7th hit. This is a little tricky if you can't communicate well with your party/MPA, since their casts add to the chain, but if you can do it, it really pays off.

It's a double edge sword actually.

Too much PP means you'd need to PA more to get to 50% so it'd be technically harder to proc the potential, but you'd get to use it longer.

Too little means it's easier to proc it but you'd be quick to deactivate it since it wont take long to get above 50%.

For black heart, you want as much PP as possible. You have to PA more to get under 50%, but you have more PP for PAs and once you are there it's much easier to stay under 50% PP. Just think of it like this: Would you rather have 50pp to work with or 75pp when you proc the potential? It's the difference between using 2 and 3 PAs in a row.

What's the fastest way to farm Mizer Soul with 3 slots on weapons? Does Fortunate Omen help?

[Ygdrad]

I have been using the partisan's Volg Raptor PA to double spellcasting damage and am using the Soul Eater partisan as a weapon because it also had 100 t-attack. Problem is I'm starting to outgrow it and when I select to extend, the preview shows 0 t-attack. Will it really lose all its t-attack? I thought I would be able to boost both. Are there any other t-attack partisans I can use? Would a great success stop me from losing the T-attack or even better, boost it with the s-att?

[Sanguine2009]

when you extend gear it has its stats overwritten with a preset template. at the moment there are no recipes that have stats other than the standard attack stats on that type of weapon. so yes your soul eater will lose all its t att as well as almost certainly lose its all class.
(it also loses its minimum damage bonus but that wont be a deal breaker until VH or so)

Yes, it'll lose all its TATK. Great Results do not give TATK back(or boost it) for a weapon type that doesn't naturally have it. Great Results can only add multiple-classes and lowered equip requirement, at current anyway.

For suggestions of other poles(at +10).. there are only two I can think of by a quick looking around;
アメン・トゥム (10*, 190TATK)
グアルス (11*, 780TATK)

Play PSO2es on the 5* mizer stage.

Non standard stats and wield reqs get removed when extending weapons. You'll never be able to have an extended partisan with a t-atk bonus. The class wield req will also go to hunter only unless you roll an extra class or all class as a great success bonus.

There are two other partisans with a t-atk bonus, Amun Tum a 10*, though the t-atk value is barely higher than Soul Eater, and Guarus an 11* that actually had a fairly sizable t-atk bonus.

This makes sense, but I'm finding that I usually don't get more than 2 PAs off in a row due to the rest of the party having killed everything by then. Thanks for the clarification though.

Yeah that's understandable in the case of how it's implemented.

I was thinking of what Sega was probably trying to get at when I posted originally lol.


With that being said...

Does anyone know how to bring up the transfer code in PSO2es code?

I want to test PSO2es on my phone but I have it on my tablet and I dont want to make a new ID JUST to try es on my phone.

I just want to give it a shot on my phone and then transfer back.

[IndigoNovember]

Guess I'm just a horrible RA/HU then. This is what I get for playing on gamepad and not using Third Person Shooting I suppose.
