Do anyone know in Nova who drops 10* [elemental type]属性ダウンⅢ mats? Used to craft with weapon core? Thanks.

I got lightning, wind and light just the 3 remaining left.

Edit: Founded dark version while farming リベルゲンテ and ギュゲンテ mats to create ギュブナード, 6 of them for elemental debut.

Forgot, the description of that thing creating core effect for ギュブナード start with Heaven "天" not sure the item name to long and it got kanji word. ^^'

There is this quest where I have to teach Atin or whatever his name is how to equip spells on his weapon bar thingy.

I took him to the lvl 5 quest, and put the spell in my slot...but the request wasn't fulfilled.

Where should I take him or what should I do to finish this quest T_T?

All you need to do is equip a "spell" to a weapon, not the sub-pallete. Can be done in the lobby.

Ah. Just fair warning then, most people here play the JPN version of the game, so a lot of the guides and stuff won't match up to the SEA version since there is somewhere around a 2 year content gap between them which includes various changes to COs, stats, Skills, etc.

Just to clarify, this means a Spell/Technique on a Wizard/Techer weapon (I.e. Talis/Rod/Wand). If you've already done it.......do it again.
Anything else aren't spells, but photon arts (i believe you know them as photon attacks?)
Completion shouldn't differ much though.

[final_attack]

Uh ... question about units ....

if I get this setup :

Rear : HP Recipe (+100 HP)
Arm : Resistance Recipe (+30 HP, +3 PP, +4% Resistance)
Leg : Ing Plate (Non-crafted, +100 HP)

Current max HP is 908, PP is 122 (I aim for 20x multiplier for SatAim spam, so, it should be enough for now?)

Should I re-craft my Rear to resistance? Or should I keep it? Kinda wondering which one is better in term of defensive capabilities (confused if I should get more HP or more resistance). HP will be down to 838 and PP up to 125 if I went to resistance though.

Thank you ^^

Note :
Current HP with Deband Toughness : 1135
HP with Resistance Rear and Deband Toughness : 1028 (I think)

Depends on how far you're willing to twist the definition of "dangerous". Sanctum turrets can generate some pretty weak explosions that inflict Panic. Seabed has exploding sea slugs that inflict Panic (why?) and Coast has those toxic flowers, but those will take off a chunk of HP. Pretty much it for environmental hazards. If you're Fighter main, you can just flip Limit Break on, but that won't help you if you're asking because of Anti.

Ahhh the coast flowers! That's what I was trying to remember that guaranteed poison (also those blumettas).
Didn't know about those sanctum turrets though.
(By dangerous, I mean something that can't be recovered from easily. Sure lava pools take out HP quite a bit but doesn't stop a resta)

If you don't mind using something different, try XInput Wrapper. It basically tricks Windows into thinking the DualShock is a 360 controller. This is, of course, assuming you are using a DualShock.

The strongest weapon I have now is wired lances, but Im finding them awkward to use on mining base since 80% of the enemies are goldradas and they are all fast and move/jump around and cant be grabbed.

Are wired lances effective here, and if so what PAs should I use?
Or should I stick to katana?

I've always felt that Wire Lance was a mobbing weapon, since it relies on grabs (which most large enemies/bosses are either immune to being grabbed or you encounter strange placeholder animations)... 'Cept for that one player on here who manages to murder anything with a Wire Lance (lots of well aimed Heavenly Falls, I believe).

I highly recommend Other Spin [ アザースピン ] since it has a vacuum effect & it can inflict stun. To follow it, you can go with Grapple Charge [ グラップルチャージ ], Cerberus Dance [ サーベラスダンス ] , Other Cyclone [ アザーサイクロン ] or Kaiser Rise [ カイザーライズ ]. Wild Round [ ワイルドラウンド ] can also be useful, but is short ranged compared to other Wire PAs.

I personally use Other Spin --> Grapple Charge --> Wild Round / Heavenly Fall.

A sword, partisan, or katana would be better for handling Goldrahda specifically. Over End, Slide End, Assault Buster, stuff like that. Not familiar with katana beyond Katana Combat, but I should think its typical mobbing PAs, besides Kanran-kikyou knockdown tactics, would do fine here too.

Assuming you're Br/Hu, main appeal for wired lances is actually their boss killing. Holding Current is one of the best DPS attacks in the game, period. Kaiser Rise is a good projectile attack that builds gear, too. Beyond that, another weapon you have access to will usually be better, but if you want to use a variety of wired lance PAs, the above mentioned should be quite fine. Wired lance PAs in general are all pretty good, though I can't say I see much use for Air Pocket Swing beyond goofing around.

So, affixing.

Haven't really spent a lot of time looking at this, I usually bought my gear good to go. I got my hands on the Saiki set though, and want to get them all done up. I had a play around with the affix simulator and came up with the following- anything you'd try for differently as a FO/TE?

--

DIABO SOUL - TATK+35; HP+30; DEX+5
- Requires 2xDiabo Soul to transfer (50%)

TECHNIQUE IV - TATK+35
- 2xTechnique I = Technique II (60%)
- 2xTechnique II = Technique III (30%)
- 2xTechnique III = Technique IV (20%)

SPIRITA IV - PP+5
- 2xSpirita I = Spirita II (60%)
- 2xSpirita II = Spirita III (30%)
- 2xSpirita III = Spirita IV (20%)

MODULATOR - SATK+30; RATK+30; TATK+30
- Requires 2xModulator to transfer (30%)

RETURNER III - SATK+10; RATK+10; TATK+10; DEX+10; HP+10; PP+3
- 2xReturner I = Returner II (70%)
- 2x Returner II = Returner III (50%)

Don't even try returner. Get latan fever before prices get much higher.

Use a boost item of either spirita (特殊能力追加（ＰＰ）) or technique (特殊能力追加（法撃）).

The specifics of how much PP you want, and if you're stopping at 5 slots is up to you, but something like

soul
modulator
stat3
boost
fever

is what you'd likely want.

Fevers, and boosts apply at 100% before extra slot.

Modulator, and soul is 80% at 3.

Soul receptor can take a single soul and apply it at 100%.

http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222415 should help give you an idea of how to realistically accomplish this without having to be as rich as jack.

The new boss souls do not boost affix rates of stat 3s, so consider making technique3/ragne soul/latan fever/xxxx 4s unit fodder if you go the 4->5 expansion route as I've briefly mentioned on the 4th page.

[Chigun]

Something I'm confused about with the UQ boss Anga Fundarge. Does breaking the floating orbs increase drop chance? If so, does it only matter if you kill all of them? Is there something special with killing it when the main orb falls out of its body?

Have you already bought webmoney? That's something you have to do outside of PSO2s various web pages, and there's a whole long list of options. For this step you do need a credit card and all that jazz, but if you have that handy it's not that bad.

I use google checkout at CN-USA--because [expletive] paypal--but they also take a large sum for themselves. If you get that android PSO2 app (I have yet to get this but I SHOULD) you can get it without paying a middle man.

Once you have a webmoney code it literally couldn't be easier, but if you still need help just post.

Same rules apply as if you were affixing with 2 other weapons for percentages. The other 3 slots is to add more skills and/or increases chances that were not on the 2 items.

Like adding
1.)Pow3+Stam3+Mod
2.)Stam3+Vol Soul+Mut
3.)Vol Soul+Mut
4.)Mod+Mut
5.)Vol Soul+Pow3+Mod
This would allow you to have higher percentages of the following without resorting to affixing it all to 2 fodders.

This is probably frequently asked but searching around feels like I'm looking at outdated information, so: how significant is a point (or 50) into S/R/T atk?

[Selphea]

Take your current ATK, add 50% of your weapon's base ATK (for 50% element), subtract 330 for average Lv80 enemy DEF (refer to el-ci's thread in walkthrough forum for exact values) and divide 1 or 50 by that number.

It'll be slightly more complicated if you throw Shifta in but that should be a good estimate.

[LonelyGaruga]

This is probably frequently asked but searching around feels like I'm looking at outdated information, so: how significant is a point (or 50) into S/R/T atk?

Take the damage formula relevant to the weapon you want to check. Take a weapon from the relevant category and use its ATK without calculating a potential. Then, by reducing its ATK and adding % to the damage formula, try to get the same result, and you'll get an idea of how much ATK is equivalent to %. Make sure to put affixes and your skill tree in.

Generally speaking, 20-50 ATK can be equivalent to 1% depending on how much ATK you already have between affixes and the weapon. The lower the weapon's natural ATK, the less attack required to get a benefit equivalent to 1%. Twin Daggers and other weapons with low ATK will get more meaningful gains from static ATK bonuses, while swords, TMGs, rods, not so much.

Ship 9 & 2 My User name on ship 2 is Obito(Bouncer Lvl 20), and on ship 9 its ChiLLzz (Braver Lvl 40ish). I would really appreciate it if someone can help me out with any questions i may need answering thanks.

[Syklo]

Take your current ATK, add 50% of your weapon's base ATK (for 50% element), subtract 330 for average Lv80 enemy DEF (refer to el-ci's thread in walkthrough forum for exact values) and divide 1 or 50 by that number.

It'll be slightly more complicated if you throw Shifta in but that should be a good estimate.

Having a bit of trouble using this calculator you seem to have referred me to.
What's the "rate" parameter in the Skills&PA section?

[Selphea]

@Garuga:

Ah yea tech formula is slightly different because elemental % doesn't affect it without Ele Conversion.

I just remembered there's a damage calculator at http://4rt.info/psod/ though. Turn off the 5% On button, set PA power to 500 and leave all multipliers off. That should get you a 1:1 ratio between ATK and damage so it's easier to see the % change per ATK at your current ATK value.

My quick question: What's the 5% in that calculator for?

@Syklo

Rate? It seems to be a master multiplier, maybe for future-proofing or to check for mystery multipliers. Since ATK is additive, it shouldn't affect the % change of a fixed amount of ATK.

It'll be slightly more complicated if you throw Shifta in but that should be a good estimate.Works for striking/ranged damage weapons (jet boots meleeing falls under this). Either ignore the attribute or account for Element Conversion depending on tech class.

Shifta is some percentage of your base stats (equip requirements-level stats). You can assume 18% for shiftarides and ~19.5-6% from player shifta if they don't have any boosts to it.



My quick question: What's the 5% in that calculator for?
It's a universal damage multiplier. It's just there, much like the divide by 5 that's in the damage formula.

For a 10* pass, you need to purchase Premium then trade in another 10* weapon at the Recycle shop.
Depends on what level you are. Until you hit SH, it's probably not the best idea to invest in a weapon that you may quickly outgrow, either way.

How does Break Stance D Bonus work? It says the effectiveness is 45%. Is that just a straight 45% damage bonus to non breakable parts like the stance itself or does that mean 45% of the time, youll get the 45% damage bonus on a non breakable part.

[LonelyGaruga]

It means 45% of what Break Stance does. It ignores Break Stance Up and latents that buff Break Stance.

45% of maxed Break Stance is 15%, so it's a 15% unconditional bonus to non-breakable parts.

It also only works when you have Dual Blades equipped, by the way.

No, you won't get the bonus. Your horizontal AND vertical axial position can't change if you want the SS bonus.

However, you can trigger SS with a perfectly timed Add. Bullet or some GU PA (not sure about that, I don't like gunner).

Is crafting worth getting into?

[PokeminMaster]

Is crafting worth getting into?
If you have to patience (and resources) to reduce your weapon's stats until you get it to higher extend levels, then yes, I would say so

But it really depends on the weapon you're using; websites such as Cirnopedia and swiki have guides that show you exactly how high the attack stat of a weapon can go through crafting, so I would advise comparing your weapon's stats to what it will end up with before starting.

Also know that higher-level recipes take a while to unlock (Unlocking the ability to extend an 11* weapon to EXLv.8 requires you getting an 11* weapon of that same type to EXLv.7 twenty-five times, for instance...)

[Selphea]

Is crafting worth getting into?

Yes if you meet one of these criteria:

Weapon Extend:
1) You are a Fighter with Crit Strike and a lot of crit chance
2) You are a Bouncer with Craft Mastery (and optionally Bouncer Mag if you don't have Fighter Main w. Crit Strike)
3) You are on a budget and there are cheap weapons with good potentials available

Unit Extend:
4) You want to fish for cheap units with good set bonuses

Tech Customization:
5) You cast techs and need to customize them.

Timed Ability:
6) You farm UQs 24/7 and want to squeeze out every % of rare drop you can

Oh I see. Um any chance I can get those on the 2nd most difficulty? I don't really do enough damage yet at lv39 to properly handle the hardest difficulty. Thank you btw.

[Galax]

So I'm at an awkward place, level/damage output wise - Very Hard is a little too weak to give me any of the challenge I enjoy, but Super Hard is too challenging for me to enjoy the combat.

Taking in to account that I am mostly a solo player, are there any quests I can take that serve as a meeting ground, difficulty wise, of VH and SH?

[LonelyGaruga]

VHAQs should cover that adequately. VHAQs cost 1 capsule so you have an effectively unlimited supply of resources to run them.

Keep in mind that at your point, equipment is also a significant factor in difficulty. If your damage is too low, you will be having a much harder time compared to if your damage is on par with what you need. Enemy damage generally isn't much higher in SH than VH though (I swear, some enemies hit harder in VH than SH, but that could be my imagination). Generally, AQ trade-ins or 9*s with JA latents are good to go here. If you have something better than that already, then leveling up should set you up for SH just fine.

Weapon Extend:

I'd like to add that some crafted weapons will still give you the highest DPS even without 1) or 2) -> usually max crafted racist weapons with high % latent.

I'm a RAHU using a crafted コスタブル (low tier 10* AR with +20% oceanid damage latent), pure R-ATK mag, no saiki set that should give me something like 100-70% variance, yet only a 50 elem yas7kv or a 13* could outdps that crafted rifle.

Unit Extend:

IMO, the best unit sets are lv10 crafted sets with PP/HP, but that's far from cheap: saiki or +90ATK sets. And fuck resistance, it's for pussies (yes, I'm being a little cynical here).

How is "using the best dps weapon" being a "budget player"?

I'd rather have something like:

3) You are a budget player
4) The weapon has a good or unique latent

I wouldn't like someone to call me a budget player simply because I'm using a crafted rifle. No, I'm using one because there is nothing better (minus the yas or 13*). And when the weapon is 10503 affixed with +100 attack and changed element, I don't think that item falls in the budget category anymore.

As for units, when I said expensive I meant the craft cost: it's close to 9m for the set of lv10+10PP crafts (more if you want to unlock the recipes).

[Kiyumi]

I wanted a new set of twin daggers, and the best one I could find (that I can get) was from advance quests called "Amber Seeker". So I looked some stuff up and it says I have to farm SHAQ on volcano area, but it takes 10 capsule e? Which requires 100 capsule b. Which I have to farm somewhere else. So its like...inaccessible unless I run the forest VHAQ 4 or 5x? Am I reading this correctly?

Couldnt I get these pyroxenes faster if I just traded in the VH ones 100x for 1?

Im so confused ):

[Walkure]

SHAQs drop more of the VH stones and have a small chance to drop the SH version stones.

For getting your first 10*s you could probably just farm VHAQs hard for them. I especially recommend this if you're flying solo since you can have a hard time breaking even on capsules in solo SHAQs.

[Syklo]

Your other option is to spend your casino coins on any advance capsules -including d/e/f
250cc for one cap.

Oh okay. But it still seems I have to do a whole bunch of VH to get the capsules for SH.

I had the VH ones before but got rid of them because I made a crafted one. Now Im only looking to upgrade.

What about extreme quests? Can I solo that?

I think it's a question of perspective here.

I use 10* crafted racial latent weapons at 10350 myself and I think they're okay for now but going to be junk soon because of UQs that ignore racial latents and 12-13*s with extremely high ATK and/or very good potentials like the SatCan 12* Rifle.

When a Vopar UQ is released that rifle's latent is going to be useless. Same with Lilipa and Machines, Amdu and Dragon Hunter etc, so I had that in mind. At this point I'm not going to affix my racial weapons further or invest heavily into new ones for other classes anymore.

[LonelyGaruga]

UQs are the only quest type that ignore racial latents, and even then, the enemies do qualify as natives/darkers for COs (Anga's a darker for this), so it's not like the enemies there will ignore racial latents once they spread out to other quest types in the future (Dark Vibras Yuga is proof of this, though it did come before UQs). And with XH around, XH EQs, and other XH quests in the future, racial latents will still be relevant. To say otherwise is simply ignorant of the importance of other quest types. UQs are just Anga farm anyway right now, no reason to believe the other UQ types won't be the same deal.

While 13*s are the best to use, can't buy them, so there's nothing "budget" about not using them. Heaven's Punisher is also only superior when using Satellite Cannon, any other attack and it's worse than a bunch of 10*s would be. And of course, it isn't something that can be bought either. A crafted Oceanid Hunter Rifle is about 3rd best to use against Oceanids for every other PA (assuming Yas' latent is in play), and pretty much the best possible one that can be bought right about now. That is not a budget weapon in any form or fashion. It's not a matter of perspective, that's simply fact.

We won't be getting Lilipa UQ for at least another month by the way, so it's doubtful that Wopal UQ will even come out by April or May. Especially since we also have Harkotan's second area coming up too. I wouldn't call that "soon", we're talking about half a year at the very least.

By the same note though, assuming 2 weeks per EQ and EQs for a map coming in the same sequence they show up in the free field list, an XH Vopar EQ would be 13 weeks away, and Vopar Free Field even longer, so that's more than 3 months to hunt an Ares rifle or Yas7k or have another better rifle included in an update.

[LonelyGaruga]

There is no Wopal EQ to get an XH update in the first place...there would have to be a new one introduced. Summer Wars is time limited so it won't get an XH version until Summer hits. No such pattern has been established with XH EQ updates anyway, so that's just WMG.

Neither Ares Rifle nor Yas 7K existing has anything to do with something being a budget weapon when neither can be purchased. A budget weapon is not used to describe one of the best existing weapons to use within its category. Better exists, sure, but that doesn't make worse weapons a budget weapon. That's the point. Otherwise literally everything that isn't the best is a budget weapon. That's not how the term works.

Now, hunting Ares Rifle would make more sense than actually making the rifle now, but there's absolutely no fault for having done it before it was implemented, nor would it make sense to call it a budget weapon when it's one of the most effective weapons to use, even if it isn't the apex of available weapons.

Ocean of Death? Or is that seasonal too?

But they released Fang Banthers, they're releasing the Caves EQ next week, so if the next map-based EQ is released in sequence (F. Cont?) then that'd be a pretty certain pattern.

The context of the original question asked was whether the player should go into crafting now, so I had to answer the question based on how the game is right now. The rifle in question is not a budget weapon but as you said, at this point hunting Ares Rifle would make more sense than making a racial one.

[Kiyumi]

[Selphea]

Run VHAQs to get a pool of about 200 capsules of each type, then convert them to 20 SH capsules across 3 types. Do 2 D runs and 3-4 E runs, and you should have a pool of SHAQ capsules that can sustain itself with 3 NPC partners.

[LonelyGaruga]

Ocean of Death is preschedule only, so might as well be seasonal, because most of the time it will never happen (I think it isn't even being scheduled anymore). So far, all prescheduled EQs eventually become part of the random selection, but I was ignoring Ocean of Death in the first place because it's an All-Star LQ morphed into an EQ, so it doesn't follow the standard trend of "darkers" or "planet natives + darkers" that every other EQ has (barring ToT3 and Christmas 3 with adding alien species for no good reason besides gameplay). Species latents are pretty irrelevant in quests like Ocean of Death.

In the context of "I have premium and want the best possible RNG-proof weapons", crafting does give some of the best options to use. Some people might not care about RNG, some do. For the RNG-proof people, crafting is key to getting some of the best options, so there's nothing budget or even outdated about that. Until 12* passes become a thing, Yas 7K and Heaven's Punisher are irrelevant to the ability of RNG-proof weapons, and 13*s probably won't be seeing an equivalent pass until 2016.


Okay Ill have to check that out.

Save your casino coins for better things, run VHAQs instead. 100:1 small - large stone ratio, so you only need 300 for Amber Seeker (900 if you want to 50 element). You can also run SHAQs, but your gear probably isn't good for that in the first place if you want Amber Seeker, so VHAQs would be more efficient.

Well Im using the Heretically WLs so its not that bad, but I havent been lucky with any good daggers drops and no prem life so I cant buy any. I actually wanted the fully affixed one that cost 30 large stones, but it looks like that would take too long? And all that time spent farming stones could be better put to use farming some boss that drops something.

[LonelyGaruga]

Pretty much, yeah. The 6s ones don't add much more damage than the 2s affixes you get from the 3 stone trade-in and aren't really worth that time in the first place. Back when the level cap was 70, some of the trade-ins were among, if not, the best option available for some scenarios (mainly species hunters like darker/dragon/oceanid trade-ins), so the 6s 50 element option was worthwhile for those weapons, but that doesn't apply to the VC trade-ins, so going for the easy 9 stone route for 50 element and then going to find better weapons would be a better use of your time.

Okay that sounds like a good route thanks. One more question. I want a katana too but the only one from the AQ shop is some sucky one for oceanids. Where can I get a good katana? Extreme quest?

[LonelyGaruga]

You can try the Loser pyroxene trade-in. 100 pyroxenes, and you can get 20-30 per Loser EQ. Apos Dorios drops a couple per kill and Loser himself drops a ton. The potential is absolutely awful though, and it's one of the weakest 11* katanas in the game, but it's very easy to acquire and 50 element, and it's all class, so you can use it to level any of your subclasses for Braver.

Whats the drop rate like in extreme quests?

I want a Sange or Sacrifice Darker or the Bio weapons earned with stones. Are they easy to get? Do I need a party full of max geared max lvl people?

Whats the drop rate like in extreme quests?

The drop rate isn't bad at all, particularly on the last 5 floors. In a couple of runs on the last five floors of Oceanids XQ, I got 2 Dream Masters, 1 Sange, and 3-4 11* units. Not too much in the way of stones though.

Sange is pretty bad, so I wouldn't recommend aiming for it, but Sacrifice Darker's decent enough I think. Bio weapons still take a while to get, but the full clear bonus ensures that you'll get there as long as you keep running. As far as party goes, you can pretty easily clear everything with just two people. Solo can be difficult if you don't have a good plan for some of the floors that pit you against multiple bosses, so try to bring at least one person with you if you aren't confident about that.

Oh Sange is bad? I thought it was better then that one from the Loser stones. Oh well, it or the other stuff can be consolation while I try to get the Bio katana.

So Ill need to get all the way to the final area to get good stuff, and stones are rare to come by. I guess Ill have to make friends with these Japanese people and see if they want to run this thing.

IIRC, RDR applies to 4*+ items, so for normal PAs I would assume LR + weapon would be the way to go since, again IIRC, it increases drop anything rate which should increase the likelihood of finding a 3* PA.

Sange is better than the Loser stone one, but Sange is still overall pretty bad. There are actually 9* katana that have higher S-ATK than what Sange has (I should have kept that in mind for everyone I told to get the Loser katana, forgot that one was even weaker). You'll probably get one before you get enough stones for Bio Katana anyway, so you can use it if you'd like. The real prize among rare drops from Oceanids XQ is Trident Crusher, still the best all class partisan. Sacrifice Darker's not too bad, but TDs are pretty bad as subclass options.

I should clarify, it isn't that stones are rare, but that the amount needed is absurd. It's a 90:1 ratio for tier 1 > tier 2, and a 30:1 ratio for tier 2 > tier 3. That means you need 16,200 tier 1 stones to get one Bio weapon, double that for 50 element. Full clears, however, net you 25 tier 2 stones per clear, which is equivalent to 2,250 stones. You can average about 20 (more depending on the floor, 20's just a good number to go with) basic stones per XQ run, and it's 16 passes per full run, so typically, you can expect 320 stones from just running XQs normally. The full clear is several times that, so as you can see, that's where the bulk of your stones is coming from. Even if you get a mid tier stone (maybe 1-2 per full run), the full clear is still several times more what you get from random drops.

If you haven't already, check into the titles that give away free tier 3 stones. IIRC, there are three, and every full clear of Oceanids XQ nets you a catalyst that you can use to convert a Tundra/Forest tier 3 stone into an Oceanids tier 3. The title giveaways alone put you halfway to your goal, very handy.

Is there a way/macro to quick switch to a different mag without going through menus?

Is there a way/macro to quick switch to a different mag without going through menus?

No, there is not.

[Vinnchente]

Is the skill Braver Mag level 1 any good say for a lvl 100 mag? Is it worth spending my points into it?

[Rien]

Depends entirely on your mag's stats.

If it doesn't have any dex/abl, it's a bad idea.

If all you have is dex/abl, it's a good idea.

Generally you would just max out s-atk or r-atk depending on which type of weapon you prefer to main then just forget about Braver/Bouncer mag entirely

[Vinnchente]

Ah I see. I put mostly S-Atk and theres some on dex.

I got it working. I read a thread saying that if you run the game as admin that it could possibly reduce lag. So I had the "run as admin" option checked in the tweaker properties (this was before the maintence Tuesday night so I hadn't logged in to test it out until today)

I went in an unchecked the option just now and it works fine for the time being.

This is more of a "have you also experienced this" than a question, but whatever. I was messing around with katana guarding during Elder and noticed that when he throws his arms toward the platform, if you stand exactly between the two arms he throws (if they haven't been broken), I both blocked the attack and took damage. If it stood slightly off center, I just blocked and was fine. Haven't tested with with any other weapon's guarding action, just katana.

It has happened to me a few times before.

You'll hear the JG sound effect from countering the palm (and your katana gear will activate), but you'll be hit by the dark orb behind your block at the same exact time.

Seems to happen right where the palm ends and the dark orb projectile begins.

DDoS happened.

ISPs losing routing paths to SEGA servers happened.

Ult may have helped that along by giving some people something to do between EQs.

Any group of people that may resemble former occupants of b20 are usually on the back--end of the XH blocks.

Also if you're not playing during JP prime time, it will be empty.

I'm interested in playing as a braver but one of the things that holding me back is fact that most of the katanas, while looking cool, often look goofy on my character because the weapon is so short. I've already checked Cirnopedia but I know sometimes it isn't always updated as well.

So anyway, anyone know of any long-bladed katanas that I may have missed? (if any)

if you like looks you can always craft a weak weapon to make it stronger.
crafting means extending the normal weapon to a more powerful status that can be par to a 10 star or 11 star.

also this site below has the best update but is in japanese. They provide pictures with lots of katanas.

some of these katanas are not cheap and can be hard to get as well

Do the emergency quests when they come up (not Dark Falz or mining base) and that emergency code is really common in there. For example the "suppression on Amduscia; Naberius forest/tundra".

Dont go hunting for it on your own.

Short...? Most katanas are odachi-tier in length. The blade length of the two boulay's are the only two comparatively short-bladed katanas among the high level.

[Kiyumi]

What happens to my room after the 3 days pass is finished? Can I still keep my room A? Will it revert to the default room? Can I access my jukebox and put in or change songs? Can I still move stuff around or add things?

[final_attack]

It'll go into Mini-Room. To move things around, you'll need another 3 days pass or any that enable it to change into Room A again and move things from there.

Room A layout won't be changed though. You just can't access it.

They're short compared to, say, what Vergil, Sephiroth, or MH LS users are swinging around. I would call PSO2's katanas short, honestly. It kinda kills the flavor of them for me, iaijutsu just looks kinda goofy with how stubby the swords are.

Not that they're universally puny. This camo (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%EF%BC%8A%E9%9C%8A%E5%88%80%E9%9B%AA%E5% A7%AB) is probably the best example of a good sized katana. Most others are scrawny or not katana at all, but some exceptions do exist.

the room just goes back to default and you just need to use another room pass to use your room again.

Kinda like how the 3 shop pass works.

I second what fusion said. Also, everything about that camo is exaggerated from the curve of the blade (should be more gentle than that), to its sheer length. Boulay length is somewhat reasonable (though irl, people would still wield a blade of boulay's size with two hands).

So, crafting. I've played a lot with tech extensions, but not so much this, and this came up in discussion today.

There's a particular kind of craft I can do to my Saiki units that will give me an extra 10 pp per unit, at the cost of the Saiki units' hidden bonuses (+50 hp and a couple resistances). It might just be my ingrained vague 'crafting 11*s is bad' feeling speaking here, but as a FO/TE, you reckon this is worth it?

[Zorua]

Since I'm going to be crafting for PP, is there any reason to farm the Saiki set over grabbing my Hiei set from storage?

[KazukiQZ]

^Better set bonus, I guess. Hiei set gives 10PP as set bonus while Saiki set gives 25PP (Correct me if I'm wrong)

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

it is 25.

I personally wouldn't craft saiki under the assumption that 11* units would been sellable soon(tm)

[Zorua]

Ah, I thought the PP was coming from the set effect. Turns out it was from the individual pieces.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Ah, I thought the PP was coming from the set effect. Turns out it was from the individual pieces.

Not sure if you're referring to hiei or saiki, but saiki's 25pp is from set bonus. Each unit gives 50hp and resistances.

As a ranger, what potentials should I be aiming for?

[Ordy]

As a ranger, what potentials should I be aiming for?

- Racist potential on racist elem'ed weapons (Native Hunter, Machine Hunter, Negative Hunter, Dragon Hunter, Oceanid Hunter) > AR and Launcher if available.

- Steadfast Reaper > AR (I don't like SS Launchers)

- Zero Effort > AR

- Great Sun Deity > for AR and Launchers are good but weather dependant, so make sure to have a backup weapon for when it's not sunny.

- Black Heart, Celestial Cannon, Holy Cannon > are top tier for Launchers Edit: OH! I forgot the new Arm Legacy with Ancient Oath, it's pretty good ... just need a rainbow set ww

Mid tier potentials are all the JA/fury potentials (Immediate Destruction, Strike, enraged...), Crushing Blow and Discerning Eye.

Shit tier are PP potentials, Negative Emblem and other situational and useless latents.

Twin dagger spin move skill is helpful here.
it's advised to have at least one pursuit PA (i.e. Waltz or Symphonic) ready to use. I generally have it in the first PA slot.

TD gear is really simple to charge up though. Jumping in combat mode, twirling, using a PA that lifts you up, all do it. A really quick way to do it is Jump>twirl>waltz/symphonic

Oh okay thanks. I saw something about switching PA palettes while in midair? Thats how to stay in the air I think. Ill have to practice it more, I kept falling down while trying that on apos dorios.

You'll have to land a few times when fighting Apos. When it spins across the screen, Raging Waltz and Sympho will both be out of range and send you to the ground.

Some people prefer to set their palettes with all slots in the sequence of the same PA, but each palette using a different PA, all for the same weapon. I personally don't do this, unless I have the space for it.

It's not really necessary to switch PAs while mid-air very often, since gear is so easy to charge up. Though, when need be, I just use some PA with a lengthy animation so that I change it on-the-fly (pun intended) through PA selection in the weapon windows

Still the most efficient PP:damage katana PA, though it's DPS is noticeably lower than hatou and sakura now.

Sakura end is worth using.

New skills.

Direct braver related questions like this to the braver thread in the guides section; they will get more attention than they will here. Also this thread can move a bit fast.

More like 60% nerf if you played Br/Hu or Hu/Br, but it's okay! It's only a 55% nerf if you manage to find the level 17 PA!
Initial Shunka nerf was 40%, then Fury S Up 1 and 2 got cut in half for 10% total, and Fury Combo Up from 20%->10%.

Kanran, Sakura, and Hatou are top 3 most used katana PAs now.

with so many nerfs when is the buffs coming back?

I really would like to waste only a .4 second on monster not a entire minute.

3 minutes for boss not a half hour.

can some explain why nerfing is a good idea.
it just looks like it takes longer to kill monster and waste time and makes some players frustrated.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

How do I go about unlocking the 4th matter board for episode 3?
Atm, only 3 MBs for EP3 are included.

@Fusion
It just mean Braver is not your easy-to-play class anymore. But it's still easier compared to Hunter and Fighter main.
Braver SH solo bossfight is still fast as ever, but you don't depend on just Shunka only now, Katana has other useful PAs at the right time.
And all those Hunter's Fury nerf, iirc, the power got shifted to the class' weapons (Sword/Partizan/W Lance). Fury nerf didn't affect other melee class too much, except Gunner/Hunter...

Because it was an outlier, and so is Ra/Br. They just don't know what they want to do about Ra/Br, especially since the devs trapped themselves behind balancing the game around WB.

ohohohoho~ poor pe... gunners!

Some people prefer to set their palettes with all slots in the sequence of the same PA, but each palette using a different PA, all for the same weapon. I personally don't do this, unless I have the space for it.

It's not really necessary to switch PAs while mid-air very often, since gear is so easy to charge up. Though, when need be, I just use some PA with a lengthy animation so that I change it on-the-fly (pun intended) through PA selection in the weapon windows
It's really nice to have Symphonic Drive off your stationary rotation, since you have to shift-cancel the rebound in order to keep attacking.


Oh okay thanks. I saw something about switching PA palettes while in midair? Thats how to stay in the air I think. Ill have to practice it more, I kept falling down while trying that on apos dorios.Even if you use a controller, it might be worth just hitting the hotkey for that. :-?

I know of one video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTVFIWkiseY), but is there a higher-quality version of the game's fourth opening?

Not necessarily.
If the enemy does get bounced from the kick, just twirl and do a second symphonic; enemy won't bounce again!

Q: How do I get access to Zieg's weapons?

[PokeminMaster]

Q: How do I get access to Zieg's weapons?
By completing all of his crafting-training client orders, he will then offer one client order per weapon; in order to complete any of them (no reward other than the weapon itself, and I believe the element is random, though it seems to always have no affixing):


Craft any weapon of the same type to EXLv.15
Turn in 50 Silvania/Silvadest/Silvagrimo (based on weapon type)
Turn in 1 Swordsmith Emblem (only 4 per character, from his last 4 client orders)


These client orders are all repeatable with a near-instant cooldown, but Swordsmith's Emblems are hard to come by, as only his last four client orders give them, and therefore you can only get 4 per character

Best quests to farm Soul Receptors?
relatively new to PSO2es, but I'm in need of 4 slot+ units with Soul Receptor and can't afford to just buy them.

Emergency Quest.
Play like to fight Malmoth, I fight the last Ruin boss since there's usually 2 boss<Rock bear and darker turtle.

It is better that I keep a Perfect Keeper potent mechguns or should I go on a Zero Effort ?

#satelliteaim

Someone plz :c

[final_attack]

Someone plz :c

Personally, I'm using Zero Effort tmg specifically for Satellite Aim / Messiah Time purpose only ..... and Perfect Keeper tmg for general runs (I changed between Launcher or Rifle for some cases)

Getting both should be nice too, of course. Since Perfect Keeper boost all kind of damage (helps with Dead Approach + Reverse Tap as GuRa because Zero Effort didn't boost them), also, it affect long range attacks (looking at PSE Burst + Shift Period + Standing Snipe).

If you're low on budget (can't get both) and not aiming for maximum damage possible as Gu, just keeping Perfect Keeper tmg is cool.
