Is there a guide for RA anywhere? I'm currently 64/49 RA/HU and I feel like I hardly know the class since there's so little information out there. The build guide on this site doesn't even list good PAs for assault rifle or launcher for some reason.

More specific questions:

1. Is the best way to deal damage (weapons wise) using enemy hunter latents (for RA at least)? I currently have a +40 Vibras Cannon and Sadiena Launcher (crafted) for darkers and dragonkin, and am wondering if it's really worth it to hunt down the trade weapons + stones for the machine + oceanid hunter weapons since I don't have premium. Opinions on using a crafted weapon for endgame? I know about the damage variation, but it's one of the only two dragon hunter launchers and they're both 8*. And since there's no native hunter launcher, should I just aim for a 50 fire Red Scorpio or would something else be better?

2. Concerning assault rifles: are they useful outside of SC on bosses? I've tried a bunch of different PAs and they don't really seem good to me. The only PA I ever use is Diffuse Shell when I'm walking around Chaotic Silence with WBs loaded and don't want to lose them.

3. Do I really need more than one assault rifle? Which ones are even worth getting? I'm thinking Grizz rifle since there's no way to recover PP without losing weak bullets (besides ketos proi) and I'm wondering if there's a better option.

4. What launcher PAs are good? I generally just spam Concentrate One since it seems to be the most PP efficient PA, and Divine when I want to kill things quickly (such as a zondeeled mob). It also seems to be the only PA that can activate Killing Bonus more than once, although I'm not sure about that. Cosmos Breaker seems decent sometimes (such as wave 4 of primary base) but it's obviously quite situational.

5. Non RA related: If I main techer, does weapon element affect techs at all? I assume it doesn't because of element conversion on force tree, but just need clarification. Still waiting for level cap rise to equip Elysion as FO main without s-atk mag. lol

Edit: Retracting my old statement since I don't want to come off as rude. I just meant to say that this doesn't help with anything because I've looked at everything there already and there isn't much information. I'm just asking here because I couldn't find the answers to any of my questions there. But Bellion has answered all of my questions; thank you. Thanks Z-0 too.

[Bellion]

1. The race latents are pretty much the best if you can get all weapon types for each race. Some of the already strong ones are the best damage. Sure, you've got variance with the crafted Dinian type launchers, but it'll still be really good and on par with some of the high end weapons against dragons. Although, I've been lazy and went with the raccoon XQ launcher and a Red Scorpio.

2. Homing Emission is still a thing, but only on a few enemies. The banther types to name one it is still effective on. Homing Emission can lock onto 6 different targets(parts or any other enemies) and you can release it point-blank on a weakpoint(or wb or both) for huge damage. How fast HE locks onto targets is impacted by your ping.

3. I personally have Grizz, Signo Head, Nifretron(Dragon killer), and Arao Cylinder(generally for Homing Emission shotgunning). You can survive with one all purpose rifle, but I prefer killing everything faster. WB is a one pp bar boss killing thing, so besides killing bonus or ketos, there's not really a good way to recover PP. There are specific mags you can raise and just feed it for pp regen.

4. Consider Rodeo Drive and Cluster Bullet. Cluster Bullet has the widest AoE and hits things from above so it's effective for headshots on many enemies or landing weakpoints on annoying enemies such as micda types or malmoths. Rodeo Drive is good if you manage to learn the distance and curve onto an enemy. Killing Bonus is only activated by your distance to whatever died.

5. Nope, FO only with element conversion.

[Sizustar]

Thanks for not being helpful. I specifically said that the guide there didn't list good PAs for launcher or assault rifle, and it doesn't answer any of my other questions. I'm not looking for a skill build, which seems to be the only thing I can find there.

From the guide section. there's already a discussion with other user posting their subpallete, you do know there's a search function?

1. Here are the weapons you should aim for:

Grizz Rifle (Native Destroyer)
Sanctum AQ Rifle (Dragonkin Destroyer)
Anti-Android Rifle (Mech Destroyer)
Ruins AQ Rifle (Darker Destroyer)

For Oceanids I feel like there's no reason to play those maps anyway, but if you're looking for a Rifle for them, could get Arao Cylinder or Bio Rifle, or anything with a general latent.

Red Scorpio
Ruins AQ Launcher (Darker Destroyer)
Crafted Sadinian Launcher (Dragonkin Destroyer)
Quarry AQ Launcher (Mech Destroyer)

Red Scorpio is more your general use Launcher, however, it's best used without Killing Bonus due to its latent (or a low level), so you may want to opt for a Launcher more like Bio, Launcher Legacy or Final Impact.

Gunslash is useful, but I never find myself using it anymore as I feel like Launcher can fill-in for it completely now. If you want a Gunslash, I recommend general ones, or go for some with destroyers (such as Noire Slash).

2. They're useful occasionally, but yeah, I usually find myself only using Rifle for Sat Cannon these days. I use Homing Emission on certain bosses, along with Diffuse for a few spawns and Impact Slider for some bosses, but that's more a TA thing.

3. You never "need" more than one weapon of any type at all, but if you're looking for doing as much damage as you can, you should try and look into multiple weapons. As for a general rifle, get Bio Rifle or Arao Cylinder, IMO.

4. Killing Bonus activates when anything around you dies, even if they all die at the same time, so 10 enemies dying at once gives 100PP; this means all PAs can activate Killing Bonus more than once. For Launcher PAs, go with these:

Divine Launcher (long-range, high damage shot)
Rodeo Drive (mid-range for higher HP enemies; make sure you will spin on their weakpoints)
Cluster Bullet (mid-range, high burst damage, great AoE, hits top-down too, so will hit a lot of weakpoints easily)
Cosmos Breaker (Launcher's best and strongest PA. TPS it and aim at the ground, but it's harder to use than everything else)

Concentrate One does the same damage as Divine Launcher in total, but Concentrate One has a longer animation, doesn't input all of its DPS out at once, can miss if targets are moving, etc. etc. Apart from PP efficiency, Divine Launcher is superior in every way.

5. Yes, the skill element weak hit works for weapons. Misread.

I've been using motion joy for my ps3 controller, but I want to map more than three things to one button... Is there a way to do this with motion joy?

I've tried using Xpadder, put it doesn't work with PSO2 specifically. Running Xpadder with admin privileges doesn't solve the problem either. So, how do I get Xpadder to work for this game?

Thanks! It all works now ^^
I had that program just forgot about it...

Out of curiosity, were you running xpadder as an admin before opening PSO2? Because it won't work if you don't do xpadder first.

It doesn't really matter, aside from the trigger issue joy2key is pretty much universally better.

The trigger issue is just that you can't hold both triggers at once. PSO2 doesn't actually use xinput, it uses directinput, and microsoft intentionally created the 360 controller to work wrong on directinput to push devs to use the newer xinput standard.

The triggers share an axis (like a thumbstick's direction, up vs. down is an axis and left vs. right is another), with one adding to the axis value and the other subtracting from the axis value. If you hold both they add and subtract at the same time, leaving the value at 0, which is the same as if you don't hold either trigger.

Joytokey also uses directinput. Xpadder uses xinput, and detects the difference. If you never have to use both triggers at once this isn't an issue at all and you can ignore it. I use both triggers at once because of my bindings, so I use xpadder for triggers and joytokey for everything else.

When merging teams, does the leader of the team that should be preserved need to initiate, or should the leader of the team that is being liquidated do it? Also, are there any other requirements that I'm missing? I tried to have another team merged into mine and tried sending requests from both directions and neither of us received a pop-up. Our total members are less than 100 and only my team has team storage unlocked, so that can't be it.

Hello

I'm wondering ...... how much is the damage of Na-Megid + WB on Falz Arms at end-game dedicated FoTe (70/70) without Photon Flare?

Just wanna know how I far my offense is from dedicated Force user, since I sometimes need variation or a little break from playing with Gunner ^^; Having a knowledge about dedicated FoTe damage is nice, since it helps to know how much I should go (currently 52/51 FoTe)

I rarely change to FoTe though, since my mag's broken due to it's a left-over build from All-Around Braver (140-ish Dex, 20-ish T-Atk) Only using it on Falz Arms and 1 or 2 times on TD 1 in the past.

I usually go for support (Zondeel and those affected with TB), and cast other offense Tech in-between if my PP pool is a little bit higher. I mainly use Dark based Tech (have been using it since Na-Megid is out)

Thank you.

My weapon craftings is level 2X, it took me around 70~ attempts. Luckily I got it all-class, was about to give up in 5 more attempts.
Of course, PSO2 is pretty random, so YMMV.

Can someone tell me if the story patch doesn't translate events outside the field, like in the lobby? Or does that go under the english patch? Been waiting ages to get a move on with MB16.

Kind of a silly question though since i've seen things translated outside of field only using the story patch. Or are we just done doing that? :/

Namegid and il barta are both extremely weak (like 90% resisted) against Falz Elder.

Not to mention, you'll most likely never be able to fully charge namegid on a WB'd falz arm before it breaks.

(Unless you mean the miniboss, il barta and namegid do normal damage there, dunno about namegid on him though, probably over 100k).

Ah yes, I meant Falz Elder's Arm Phase ...... Currently I'm dealing 100k-ish (320k with WB) using Na-Megid ...... So, kinda wonder how far I fall behind dedicated FoTe ^^;

I see .... so, 100k+ .... Thank you for the reply ^^

Elder/Ragne+T-atk III/IV+AbIII+Mutation

Why would this be better then say? Elder/Ragne + T-atk III/IV + Spirita/Stamina 3 + Boost

Just trying to see your reasoning. Is ability 3/ mutation really worth it? Also if going this route and say Tech IV is on the weapon does that mean you need Shoot IV and Power IV to make ability III? Or could you still use Shoot III and Power III with Tech IV to make it?

It's up to you if you want extra attack or a bit more pp/hp. Either is fine, they are both good options.

No, you'll still be needing the 3 III's in the mix being power,shoot,tech or body,mind,react to create the ability. There's also fever which is a good alternative to ability/mutation and is very easy and cheap to work with.

No Hu max T-Def at lvl 70 is only 387.

I.e. can I even quip Susano Hiki as Hu without a mag with lots of T-Def?

How about units, what counts towards their equip requirements?

Uppercase katakana and now "homo emission" hahaha my sides xD xD

anyway *crying* the Homing Emission alone aren't that strong compared to other PA, but when used properly, you can deal more damage than any other PA (maybe noｔ Satellite Cannon ^_^ ... or at least faster)

1. You WB ONE part, weak spot if possible.
2. You lock on as many parts as you can.
3. Run to the WB to fire all the bullets point blank to hit one part and not all the locked parts.

Vol: WB Tail, lock parts on Vol body, run to the tail and break it in 1 PA (IS works too, was just an example).
Fordoransa: lock the 2 horns, head, body, jump to shoot the head and kill it in 1 PA
Ragne: WB core, some 360° HE, fire, repeat
Fangs: WB head, lock HE on head, body and legs, fire = stun

Just have fun with HE or watch some RAHU videos to find new HE tricks (⌒ v ⌒)

I don't even have MB10. I obtained 9 and 11 at the same time.

11 also seems to be about the battle championship thing.

11 is the chapter EX and about the battle championship thing. you'll get 10 after completing 9.

11 is the chapter EX and about the battle championship thing. you'll get 10 after completing 9.

Which is great.

I'm curious as to why 9 and 11 were obtained at the same time, mostly, as it makes no sense. Even with 11 as an "EX Chapter", I can't find any reason to give me two MBs to work on at once.

3rd time I've DC'ed in like 30 minutes. Taking a break.

[Aurorra]

okay, seems like someone is ddosing/hacking server or something

Seems that way, can't believe Sega's servers are vulnerable to that amateur hour bullshit.

[Dooflux]

Sega pls ;_;

[KatherineAlexandra]

Looks like I don't even need to ask. These script kiddies. I swear.

[red1228]

I have 630'd four times within the last twenty minutes. Three of those times were from long Lag Spikes where nothing was moving or loading for a good 20+ seconds (promptly followed by the error code window popping up). The fourth time I was immediately kicked from the game without any lag (mid combat, nothing was stalling & damage numbers were popping up on time).

Trying to log back in either takes a full minute or give a 249 error.

Fix your shit, Sega/c.

[Dammy]

now i wonder if its just ship2 or all of them

[Aurorra]

now i wonder if its just ship2 or all of them

I think it's all of them given that they all appear as offline when you try to reconnect immediately.

[Xaeris]

Tri-booster incoming.

[Dephinix]

At one point when I was kicked after getting a 601, it showed me all ships were offline. Most likely all of them, and wow, never seen an mmorpg crash like this. Well, at least we have GameGuard... :-?

[Rakurai]

Whatever's happening seems to be affecting all of the ships, because ship 6's population is unusually low, plus I just got 630'd for the first time in weeks, as well.

[GoldenFalcon]

The official site is telling people to wait (and not connect?) until the issue is resolved

Quick question.. What exactly does gameguard do? I thought stuff like this shouldn't happen with gameguard..

[ShinobuVamp]

Ship 10 here...got dropped 630 for 4th time in the last 20 minutes...

[Dooflux]

Should we just wait until it stabilizes? If that's anytime soon?

[Greyvorg]

The servers are farting. Yes, it's all ships. My whole friends list DC'd, as well as full blocks. B209 for example dropped from full to about a quarter. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Quick question.. What exactly does gameguard do? I thought stuff like this shouldn't happen with gameguard..
Gameguard is software which attempts to protect the game's memory from being manipulated by cheat programs.

Ddos'ing is something else. Gameguard cannot prevent this.

You just need to have it equipped before the crystal is opened.

Oh, so it's just "client protection" then? Well, even worse. But really if it's someone overloading their servers intentionally.. they really need to up security. You outta have better security than anime stream sites and whatever else in the muck.

Sega can't do anything about the internet carrying the DDOS to them. It's the internet's fault.

[red1228]

Quick question.. What exactly does gameguard do? I thought stuff like this shouldn't happen with gameguard..

A better question would be: WHY is anyone still using GameGuard?
It couldn't stop people with HomeBrew on their Wii's using simple hex edit codes & it didn't stop GameShark or Action Replay codes from working on 6th gen consoles (ps2,gamecube, xbox). Hell, it couldn't even DETECT players using these cheating devices/programs. The ONLY way players got caught was if someone saw & reported them.

It's a shitty anti-cheat/hack root toolkit that simply doesn't work. No idea how nProtect/INCA is still in business.

Been getting a 520 "CloudFlare" error from Cirnopedia for the past day or so. I sent the link to some friends & they accessed it just fine.

[JanosA]

what is "pugging"?

[Galax]

what is "pugging"?

From what I've gathered, it's the latest popular term that means 'bad player' in some way. From the classical "noob", onwards to "scrub", and I've seen "pleb" used this way, now we've got "pugs".

And "Shunkaspammer". Don't forget that one.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

what is "pugging"?

pick-up grouping

grouping with random players

typically bad and uncoordinated players

[Alma]

pug stand for pick up group
or partying with random or people you dont know on some quest or mission in MMO

cmiiw

[Gamemako]

pick-up grouping

grouping with random players

typically bad and uncoordinated players

It's not that pugs are bad, it's that there's no quality control. You join MPA with 12 others and there's no telling if any of them know which way is up. You'll have some good pugs and some bad pugs. Only among certain elitist players, who are usually not very good themselves and therefore use others as a crutch, are pugs universally bad. I used to giggle about how people complained about PF groups (non-random recruitment including gear level requirements) failed so much against hard/EX primals in FFXIV, but my DF groups (random pug) succeeded pretty frequently.

PSO2 is down. (http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=3835)

Google it if you want, but otherwise keep it off the boards is my advice. Things referring to nudity - or screenshots showing such - are generally frowned upon. I wouldn't personally call PSOW "kid friendly", but it's a lot closer than other boards.

As to my question...

Did anyone else find themselves unable to access PSOW when PSO2 went down? Shortly after the attacks, PSOW failed to load for me. At first it was just "Google Chrome cannot find pso-world.com." Then CloudFlare comes in with "error 522: request timed out" a few days later.

Hell, as recently as last night, I couldn't get in. Cirnopedia has given me much the same over the days.

I think a lot of people experienced PSOW going down for a couple of days. (http://www.pso-world.com/news/02544-pso2-jp-update-ddos-pso2-servers-and-websites) All of them, to be more specific.

[Otokonokotron]

yes, whoever was doing it had a serious bone to pick with almost specifically PSO. Other than the officical pso2 sega site and the game servers being ddos'd, community forums related to pso were also attacked, such as this one, Bumped.org, and the subreddit for pso2 was even flooded with porn at one point.

[teawhip]

If you hit level cap on your main class, would turning in COs/killing grant 100% exp to your subclass instead of 10%? Or would you still need to switch your sub to main to get the full amount?

[ReverseSeraf]

If you hit level cap on your main class, would turning in COs/killing grant 100% exp to your subclass instead of 10%? Or would you still need to switch your sub to main to get the full amount?

You would have to switch your sub to your main, because even when capped, you "technically" still get exp for Excubes

[Sp-24]

If you hit level cap on your main class, would turning in COs/killing grant 100% exp to your subclass instead of 10%? Or would you still need to switch your sub to main to get the full amount?
Reaching the level cap won't help your subclass' experience gain in any way. It will still only get 10%, and will still stop getting any experience past level 50 (or whatever is the subclass cap now). So, yes, you will have to switch your subclass to main if you want to get it to 70.

The only benefit of reaching the level cap is the excube reward that you get every time when you accumulate enough experience points, but that feature's importance faded a little after we've been allowed to turn in 10☆ weapons in exchange for those.

[suzaku0zero0]

any idea when pso2 will be back online?

[Evangelion X.XX]

There's supposed to be an update about the situation in about an hour and thirty minutes...

[Sp-24]

any idea when pso2 will be back online?
I'd say sometime after anyone at Sega announces anything that may be considered something that even somewhat resembles a rough estimate of when the servers will be going up.

All that we know is that DDoS hasn't stopped and that they are working on it. That's it.


There's supposed to be an update about the situation in about an hour and thirty minutes...
They are going to run the maintenance on the main site in the next two hours, so I wouldn't count on the game servers coming back any time soon.
EDIT: And I don't see anything about the announcement in 1.5 hours. Where did they say that? EDIT: Never mind, found it. Yeah, 30 minutes from now.

[Sizustar]

I'm not seeing the correlation with the game and a site like this getting the DDos' attack at similar times. What happened here have something to do with that? It'll all be over I believe within the next few days.

[Galax]

Do we know the "proper" names of the tracks?

Like how in PSO, lots of us probably just knew it as "forest theme", but in the OST it's listed as Mother Earth of Dishonesty, Part 1?

I saw that apparently Elder's theme is "IDOLA, da Sledge of Destruction" [misspelling on the & everything], but I'm interested in more than just one theme.

The only one I can think of off-hand would be that I've seen Vol Dragon's theme labelled as "Growl from the Blast Rage," and I do recall seeing something about an "invisible sword" for Quartz Dragon and another named theme for the Banthers/Banshees, but I cannot find those two...

excuse me but i have some questions which might sound dumb for experienced pso2 players:

i guess i can use a mag evolution device like sato only 1 time?
is there something like the transmog in wow or can i only use weapon camos to change the appearance of a weapon?

I like to have a costume from the sega platinum selection, if i try to scratch it which one i should use? Do i get more items for the higer priced scratches(ac gold scratch ticket 5000 ac:-( ac scratch 2000:-( ac gold 500, sounds pretty expensive, or is the chance to get crap out of it low?)?.
Since i will begin to play after server restart is earning meseta and buying it from a player shop an alternative? I hope theyre going to sell it:( Or i should just buy meseta and shop it? Is probably against the server rules, give me a hint please n.n

Once it's used on a mag, the mag evolution device is gone.
But there is a Mag Evolution change ticket, that allow you to switch between Mag Deviced used after 4/23/2014

It is possible to order a chargeback, but this will do nothing good to your Sega ID, so, depending on when you bought that AC, it might be a good idea to wait a little before ordering refunds.

Nope there are issues still. The consensus is that ISP's are either having an issue or that a backbone provider blocked it. There are a few that are saying IP ban but we haven't seen any solid\damning evidence from that camp really. But really though, it's all just guessing as to whats going on with sega atm

In any case I'd wait a little while longer

[Sp-24]

We won't be able to buy AC for a while. Don't know for how long, as I'm not sure if Sega stated that, and browsing the site through a proxy on a different browser makes me want to kill myself.

But aren't you a 61/70 Br/Hu? That class combination isn't safer than, say, Gunner or Force, but it's pretty devastating in terms of damage output. Even without a TA party, you stand a good chance at soloing plenty of the SH and VH TA orders before Sega nerfs them.

Wait, no, my bad, that's 「ジャッジメントコート (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%83%E3%82%B8%E3% 83%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88 )」. Yellow is one of the stock colors, and it looks pretty similar in every way.

Sega is planning to reduce the meseta rewards for Time Attacks, and shift them elsewhere, likely Franka's orders and dailies. People weren't pleased with these news, but, so far, Sega hasn't retracted on that statement yet. So, we'll see how it goes.

Do you have to buy your first batch of SH AQ capsules or is there a way to get some Advanced Capsule D, E, or F from somewhere without having to fork over 700k mesetas?You can trade in your old A-B-C caps for new D-E-F ones. Though the ratio is 10:1. Meaning you'd need 100 A-Caps for 10 D-Caps.

You can trade these in the recycle shop, iirc.

this is correct 100 A capsules for 10 D capsules 100 B capsules for 10 E capsules 100 C capsules for 10 F capsules
it's 10 for 1 exchange rate

Any point in crafting units from ex lv 5 to ex lv 10? I haven't unlock the recipes to craft units to ex lv 6 and above and idk if unlocking them will take ages/expensive

[Sp-24]

Going from ExLv.5 to 10 only adds 30 points of defense, but increases the stat requirement to 500 (unless you get huge success). Every bit helps, of course, but it is still up to you to decide if there is a "point", since, on the one hand, you'd be missing extra defense, while, on the other, you wouldn't have to bother.

I've got my eyes on a weapon in the stone shop, but it requires 30 large thunder pyroxene, which means refining 3000 thunder pyroxene! On VH I get 10-20 per run, is there some trick to this? Do enemies sometimes drop large ones or will I really have to run VH tunnel AQ 150-300 times?

I doubt that large stones drop anywhere at all, so grinding AQs and SHAQs may be your only option. SHAQs are better for stone drops, but the cost to enter them is a bit insane, and I'd advise against doing them now that it's almost impossible to connect to the servers in the first place.

Just a little correction, but you trade them at the pyroxene shop.

And you can still only trade in one at a time.

Hi, does anyone know anything about the "failed to authenticate. Incorrect input" message when trying to access the sega id registration info management page? I made my account way back in 2012 and honestly forgot my email I used signing up for it.

After a series of trying various email accounts, I finally received that error, before finding out the email I used to signup.

Anyone care to provide insight on this error and perhaps info regarding this issue? (i.e. Is it temporary?)

[Sp-24]

That error means that you made a mistake typing you Sega ID, password, or captcha. Just try again.

One of the common mistakes that I saw (and made) in 2012 was people capitalising their Sega ID. Don't do that, it should be lowercase.

Story Quests require you to go a different route from last time.

Wondering if anyone has the "formula For the following

Getting Ability III on a 4-slot armor (w/ a Soul, Power III & Spirita III)
Making a 5 slot armor (Quartz Soul, Power III, SPiriita III, Stamina III, Power Boost)

I assume the 5-slot takes patience and money (a lot like a relationship). I've seen people w/ nice armors w/ Ability III but that shit never gets better than 50% no? Or is modulator incorporated somehow?

[Achelousaurus]

Is there a good PB guide?
For ages I only ever heard PBs are pointless but I just saw the opposite, a single PB chain oneshotting VH Vol Dragon.

Just how much damage can you do with how many PBs?
What does this damage depend on and against what kind of damage is it (S / R / T, which element, etc.)

And what are the best PBs for chainging, how do others get effected (like healign and PP recovery)
etc., etc., etc.,

I ask cause most guides on PSO2 are just covering the bare basics and anything indepth you either need to find out yourself or ask specifically about.

[Kietsu]

For ages I only ever heard PBs are pointless

For the longest time, they were. But a little while back they got an overhaul and most of them are actually really good now.

The type of damage they do (or the stat they scale with, at least) is based on which crazy spirit is summoned. Julius the space unicorn does Striking, Helix the squid fortress does Ranged, Ketos the wonder fish does Technique.

In the case of Julius the thing with lots of arms and Ilios the sword monkey, it goes by the second word in the PB'S name - Their Proi PBs do Strike, Imera PBs do Ranged, and Nyfta PBs do Technique.

For the most part, they all chain the same way - the summon does the attack twice with two people, and three times with four. Things like Ketos Proi and Julius Nyfta get more duration and range, iirc.

Speaking of which, Julius Nyfta was far and away the best PB the last time I checked, although sadly you can't charge your PB with your PB anymore, because Julius Nyfta's damage output was so extreme that you could spam it.

Outside of that, Ketos Proi gives great PP regen and some healing, too. Ketos Imera used to cast Resta at the end of its attack, no idea what it does now because nobody takes Ketos Imera.

[AFKei]

*The minority that has Cestus Imera :D* I don't remember Cestus Imera having a healing property, but it's a Tech-powered Railgun that does 2k+ damage per hit, and the laser itself hits multiple times. The reason why it's not popular is because you can't aim the darn laser. It's range of fire is increased as you chain (it sways left and right a little, but the laser itself has a pretty wide hitbox), but it's still a really bad offender of picking the wrong target and missing back then. (I haven't detected an aiming improvement, so I might experiment sometime.)

EDIT: Apparently I wasn't tripping about the aiming improvement. It's now smart enough to change target if it KOs something.

On another note...
My storage is pumped to the brim with 10* weapons that I want to clear out, as the majority of them are weapons I don't see myself using. Do I either...

A. Trade them in for Excubes?
or
B. Scrap them into crafting materials?

What do you think is a better choice?

.... formula for Ability III on a 4-slot armor (w/ a Soul, Power III & Spirita III)
I've seen people w/ nice armors w/ Ability III but that shit never gets better than 50% no? Or is modulator incorporated somehow?

You can get Ability III with either
Power III+Shoot III+Technique III or
React III+Body III+Mind III

the 3 will give you a 60% Ability III, then you add a +30% ability booster and you get a 90% chance on final or 100% during an affix boost week. Some players would rather make the fodders and wait for a global affix boost before trying to 6 slots units with a 90% Ability III. If you want to trust the RNG, go for it.

excubes, don't waste cubes on craft mats.
Cubes = 250% RDR
Cubes = 30% affix boost
Cubes = 1000 FUN = easy money

[gaijin_punch]

You can get Ability III with either
Power III+Shoot III+Technique III or

Does that just need to be anywhere on one of the 3 items to get Ability III at 60%?

1: Quartz Soul, Power III, crap crap
2: Quartz Soul, Spirita III, Shoot III crap
3: Quzrtz Soul, Technique III, crap, crap

With those 3 fodders, would I have

Quartz Soul: 80%
Power III: 80%
Spirita III: 80%
Ability III: 60%
?

I was sure we'd get an Affix boost. Was getting all physically aroused and then the list came out. :-/

Yes, that works. However, I'd rather try to add Spirita with QD soul and Power (QD boosts both, easier to make the fodder).

[Achelousaurus]

Thanks, I think I'll get Julius Nyfta or Ketos Proi.
Or does the damage depend on your own stats?
If I use Julius Nyfta on a Braver with Katana, will the damage be lower cause of lacking T-Atk on my character?

[Arada]

Yes it will.

I kept my Julius Nifta from TE (doing around 40k dmg per hit) while I was RA and my damage dropped to 8k per hit so yes, it's a major hit.

[gaijin_punch]

Yes, that works. However, I'd rather try to add Spirita with QD soul and Power (QD boosts both, easier to make the fodder).



Noted -- and done. ;)
Thanks. I cocked up the fodder so the overall cost was a lot, but Ability III seems to be more beneficial than Power Boost to me. I'm fine w/ the PP I got.

[Forum User Y]

Hi. I'm starting to think about trying out the SEA version of PSO2. Before i begin to look for everything i need, i would like to get my mind of a few things.

- Can i play (install, connect, play !) SEA version from Europe without use of bannable services like VPN or else?

- What's the deal with the ToS of the SEA version, am i allowed to play the game from Europe?

- Is it possible to buy AC without living in South East Asia?

I think i might give it a try if those three points aren't an issue. Everything regarding the current state of the game, translation, etc, is less important to me and i wil do the researches i need in order to make a decision, but i'm not going through that unless this is "stable" (not the best word i could use here).

Thanks !

- Nope. Areas not specified for their services on the SEA are IP blocked so there's no other way around it sadly.

- Nope. Their services are only for the SEA regions, which is why everywhere else that isn't from its respective region are IP blocked.

- Just like the JP version, I think you can use Webmoney as well.

You craft the weapon over and over, until you great success craft it and get the class you want or "all classes".

Or you could buy the "add x class" items, then craft it and use the the add class item.

クラス追加（ハンター） add Hunter
クラス追加（レンジャー） add Ranger
クラス追加（フォース） add Force
クラス追加（ファイター） add Fighter
クラス追加（ガンナー） add Gunner
クラス追加（テクター） add Techer

It sounded kind of hazy, but I trusted him. And here I am now in need of the weapon and not enough meseta or slots to continuously roll the weapon

You don't need to unlock the potential.

As was said before, recraft till you get lucky, or buy one of the aforementioned class-adding items and use them while crafting the same way you would using grind risk reductions, etc.

Also, you do know that crafted weapons will have unstable damage right? As in your hits can be around 25% lower than your crits without abnormally high DEX.

[suzaku0zero0]

If a crafted weapon have immediate strike/justice 3, does doing damage at JA compensate the damage lost due to lower dex? (Do you deal damage at the weapon's highest possible damage range?)

[Sp-24]

Which latent is it? The one that improves JA damage by 5%? Because, if so, then it won't help much. Only critical hits ignore the Dex penalties, JA simply adds a multiplier to your damage, which is still affected by your Dex stat.

[Sizustar]

If a crafted weapon have immediate strike/justice 3, does doing damage at JA compensate the damage lost due to lower dex? (Do you deal damage at the weapon's highest possible damage range?)

No, crafted weapon, especially 10* lose the inate bonus that deals damage in 90~100%.
Which will give large damage variance that currently has no way to compensate.

[suzaku0zero0]

[gaijin_punch]

The 11-star wand you get for trading in 100 Shinsesta / Cyncesta

Is it ass? The latent is faster PP restore. I'm building up a Fo/Te b/c the only thing going on now is the gentei quest and it gets rather mundane with 70/70. I only have a few 11-stars to make passes with, but have a lot of stones. Not the strongest I know, but I can get it with 50 dark element right off the bat, and probably at least take it to latent 1.

[teawhip]

What's the optimal/quickest process in getting an EQ 11 star weapon (kazanou)? Should I just spam stages 1-50?
