Um ..... 1 question about ship transfer ..... how much is it for ship transfer? And how long is the cooldown for another transfer?

Thank you very much ^^

I dont know this, but you can check how much on your character select screen by clicking the option to transfer.

Ah, k. So mates aren't necessary on Bouncers with DBs, just have to get Resta?

Don't bother with resta on a DB bouncer - Megiverse does the same thing but faster.

Generally the only techs you'll be using are pure support ones, like Megiverse, Zanverse, Zondeel, etc.

As for best PAs, there's only 6 of them, try them out. they all have a purpose, except maybe justice crow, which I find somewhat useless but other people say it has a use so *shrug*

Another question ..... I plan to buy those Deluxe Package ...... there's a code for the items, right?

From previous package, you must input codes from PS Vita?
Also, does it comes as additional piece of paper inside the box with the code printed on it?

Wasn't my question, but thanks for the info. Thinking about creating a Ra/Br. Is the only thing you do is just WB + Banish Arrow weak spots, or do you also use launchers and rifles as well?

Also, are launchers or rifles better, or do they serve diff. purposes?

Actually, you are only going to use the WB+Banish+Nemesis combo on boss kills. You could use your rifle and Sat Cannon ... but the bow combo is just going to make it easier. You won't use your bow in situations where you want to save your 4 WB (switching to bow cancels your remaining WB bullets). If you are the only RA in a Magatsu or TD MPA, it'd be wiser to WB targets and Sat Cannon/any other AR/Launcher PA.

When you'll be fighting mobs, it's better to use your launcher. Bow and AR can kill mobs just as fine, but launchers will give you more range, AOE and thinks like Cosmos Breaker auto-target weak points (that's perfect for a RABR, because you rely on weak stance). It's not an ironclad rule, practice using all your weapons PA and you'll naturally find your playstyle. You just have to be aware of the capabilities of your weapons.

RaBr isn't as easy as spamming Rafoie or dispersion strike, when you'll be facing a target or a group of targets, you have to ask yourself "okay, what would be the best PA/weapon to deal with these mob(s)?"

Adaptive RaBr > RaBr spamming Last Nemesis on every single target.

I decided to not bother with Ability Affixing, too much RNG, not enough payoff in my opinion.

Anyway, new question. The Ranger Skill "Power Bullet" works alongside Bullet Keep, so if you load Launcher Bullets, but then switch to an Assault Rifle, you keep the +100 R-ATK. I've seen it reflected in my stats. However, after a short amount of time, it seems to revert back to normal if I check my stats. Does Power Bullet have some sort of invisible duration timer?

Currently, the best Launchers are:

1. Ares (13☆)
2. Vault Hauser (Fury Combo latent)
3. Red Scorpio (BH latent)
4. Arms Legacy (AO latent)
5. The Fucking Racists

Rifles ... well, the Ares > yas7KV > punisher > racists :| Oh and the Holy Ray has a new +20% HE latent, that's not that bad. And good old Arao still a nice AR.


Thanks for the insight! I'll have to see how much Vault Hauser goes when i come in the house.

Since im ballin on a budget for my rifle i went with The crafted firearms with 3 level potential. Haven't really tried it out but i have 1045 R-atk and I believe it boost Standing Snipe by 11% so....may work for the time being i suppose.

They behave the same way but they don't help each other stack to the max damage.
1% = 15 JAs in a row for max bonus. 2% = 8 JAs in a row. 3% = 5 JAs in a row. Use a different weapon, seriously.

Lucky rise 3 increases item drop rates as much as Temptation, but unlike Temptaion, it can be transferred with the help of Gift Receptor. You'll need 3 Lucky Rise IIIs to have even a average chance of it sticking to what you want it to stick to.

In my case, I managed to play around with gift receptor enough that I got Meseta Fever II and Meseta Fever III on my Klotho mechs. Meseta Fever I can't be added if you're adding Meseta Fever III and vice versa. Meseta Fever II can go with either ability.

Wild guess: Get out of whisper or put /p on your macros. Not sure if whisper actually blocks those.

In another case that happened recently, they sometimes just stop working full stop, so you'll need to relog.

(regarding Camo/Costume macros)

I tried putting /p in them as well, with no avail. Its not making an error sound, nor is it saying my text aloud, its just not doing anything... Macros with text work fine...

Would anyone mind copying some of their camo/clothing macros and I'll try and figure why I can't be a quick change expert? :(

Check in your PSO2 setting for keyboard, and see if you can find the section where you can choose your keyboard key to swap chat channel on the fly. For reference, I got P for party, L for whisper and ... I actually forgot the team and nearby chat one, I hasn't played much the last 2-3 months.

Thanks to this basic function, I never had trouble switching subpallete on the fly back when I was playing BOFI (using Ctrl+F1 to F6).

Edit: Basic function... then again I don't remember having to set it up on my main account, but I had to do it manually on my 2nd one, too used to having them.

Level 1 is going to give you the most significant increase, then close to 5% extra damage if you compare lv1 BH to lv3 BH.

It's a guess game, some AC scratch have lots of wanted and popular items, some others have one retardly expensive hairstyle/dance ... then a fuckton of 200k tickets. Like you said, you'll always need some luck, but try to list and check the price of all the AC items in MyShops to see if the odds are worth spending $$$$.

500 ac are a bad choice.

if you want the outfit of one particulate style you are better off buying 200 AC scratches because:

1. they are much cheaper.
2. the items you gain from 200 AC scratches can be resold at much higher prices (mils worth of mesta)
3. the outfit you want could be gain from 200 AC scratches.

200 AC are the better choice.

Weapon Type, Elements, Set Bonuses, and Potential's matter.

ANd these things are play style dependent.

So the amount of TATK it gives doesn't matter? As a Fo/Te I mainly use talis since I have the skills that boosts its damage, however, I'm thinking of switching to rods.

How do you know which items belong to a set? And how should I prioritize these "Weapon Type, Elements, Set Bonuses, and Potential" when picking a weapon/equipment? Potential>Set Bonuses>Elements>Weapon type>TATK ?

Will repeat what Neko said: "These things are play style dependent". Meaning we can't answer (correctly) for you.

Weapon type basically dictates most of the combat - determines the regular attacks, the weapon action (shift) and the PA's (and/or techniques) that can be used. Not to mention that it depends on the class you play (duh).

For elements, the % of the attribute is more important than the element itself.

Set bonuses are not very significant (for most sets), and only really apply if you wear the matching units anyway. If you're going to be switching weapons a lot, unless the set bonus applies for all those weapons, it's generally not a game changer.

Potentials are kind of a big deal. If you're willing to spend the money to get them, it's worth considering what potentials different weapons have. Potentials can make 9*'s better than 11*s.

Don't forget that you can always craft (extend) your weapons.

I'd just like to correct this. This holds true for pretty much every class besides force. With force, the element is actually more important than the % of attribute due to element conversion (though you should always have 50 element when possible anyway).

Question regarding the Excube levels.

After I capped my Fo class before it was increased to 75, I concentrated on getting my Te class to 70. As I'm typing this, my Fo class is now 72 and once I reach 75, I'll do the same for my Te class.

Now taking the last level cap increase as a reference, it will probably another 6 month before it increases again, so I'll have both of my classes at Lv75 before that. This leaves the new Excube levels which can give you a couple of skill points.

How do the EXP for these Excube levels work? With regular levels, the amount of EXP needed to each new level is higher than the last one, so if 6 Excube levels is required to get 2 skill points, it sounds to me like this would be wasted experience when you could just play as new classes until they increase the level cap again to 80.

It is rather difficult to obtain those 2 Skill Points, for each one requires you to gain the same amount of EXP from 74 to 75 three times (you get one cube per level), and you need to do that for each class you wish to expand. The actual amount of EXP needed is somewhere around 1,900,000 or so

So you're saying that unlike regular levels, these won't increase the amount of EXP needed to get the the next one, meaning that it won't make much of a difference if I wait for the next level cap or just get these Excube levels?

Well, the extra skill points will still be there, so it'd be better to do them now rather than later (since that EXP value for Cubes will be based on 79 to 80 when the extend the cap again)

oh softether still works just lots of disconnection problems.

good vpns links are japanese based regions ones.

if you lost connection to a good Japanese based one its it is always good to try all the others.

the ones you should try are: ones that match your connection speed.

if you try to connect to a vpn with 100mb per second, there shall be problems because your connection does not go that fast or your computer is not that fast. This has caused a lot of disconnection. people assumed that choosing vpns can be random but really it just needs to match up with the computer connection. Once matched you should not get disconnected as much.

Also avoid Vpns with zero sessions they are really bad from my perspective.

I'm a Techter/BOuncer using Jet Boots. It is obvious Elemental Stance (BOuncer) works when you change the element of you Boots using a technic...
But does this work with Element Weak Hit (TEchter) too ? I mean, does Element Weak Hit apply for technics and native element of your weapon only ?
Or does it work when you change the element of your boots too ? I was sure it worked but I'm starting to wonder. In any case, thank you for reading.

From what I noticed (TE/BO over here too o/ but going to switch to FI/BO jetboots soon), it works, you just need the good element.

OK. Thanks for the information. I would have tested it myself but my 21 Trees are used (and I can't transfer any of them at the moment).
I used to be FIghter/BOuncer too but with DBs. Never tried with JB (I think BOuncer/FIghter with Switch Strike would be more interesting).

While Poyonche's answer is probably the true extent of it, from what I gather (using my previous knowledge of time travel sci-fi) the Matterboard is essentially a tangible manifestation of Xion's power, and the reason why collecting items and seeing events matter and that characters have memories of conflicting events comes down to a butterfly effect (ie. changing the past by collecting items or being in the right place at the right time to have a meeting that didn't originally happen, thus causing a ripple that changes the future in gradual, subtle ways).

Grinding 11*s doesn't necessarily need support items, but it can get expensive without them. Either way, it comes down to the RNG.

I know it wasn't a question, but I also played Tatk based JB BOFI (up to mind 50s BO) on my tech character. FI got a lot more multiplier than TE, but will be squishier. It was fun, but I seriously lacked in the art of being a good melee character, so back to FOFI for the current time.

Also females have more Ratk and males have more Satk. Humans have above average stats for everything, but are not #1 in anything. Dewmans also have less DEF and HP. But really, the differences are so minimal unless youre a hardcore min/maxer it really doesnt matter.

The stat differences are so minor that you should just pick the race you like more appearance wise.

The only issue is that certain races lack the natural stats to equip certain items without extra stats from a Mag or skills, but it's not very common.

RA side:
-Tactics Trap combined with Stun Grenade and/or Gravity Bomb is, IMO, the best PP regain tool for RA. Just throw Stun Grenade into a crowd of mobs, PP instant gain. Even work on bosses, because it take count the damage dealt, not the stun effect.
-The last 10 points, you can spend it elsewhere where you feel the best. As for me, I put 5 into Killing Bonus and maxed First Hit.

HU side:
-Fury crit is bad, not recommended.
-Massive Hunter is really great, it makes RAHU become a tank during its period, and you can go apply WB/charge satellite cannon/attack without worrying much about damage (Automate can heal you). You also receive damage resist while in Massive Hunter mode.
-Points into Flash Guard. IMO, really good point invesment.
- No need to max Iron Will, it's not guaranteed to work even at 10/10. To make it a little better, just put one point into Never Give Up, giving you 5 seconds to recover, if it does activate.
-1 point into Warcry. You'll need it sometimes (TD and XQ are two big examples)

It is best to use support items when you hit +7 or +8.

because if you try to grind a 11 star with nothing for support your chances are very low. So low it would never be grind to the max.

also recommend support items are risk reduction +1 for 11 stars but if you have any +2 risk reduction thats good too.

only use support items at +7 or +8 thats when the hard part comes in and also %5 increase grind is always good saves a lot of work.

if you can afford it then go for grind 7 skip they cost about 2 mil to make.

Ah so mostly for TAJA? I couldnt do that since Ive gotten used to picking one PA and spamming it 4x in a row. And I can do all that in the time it takes Kazan to hit once.

Hello, is there an experienced melee battler around? I can't figure out how Fury Combo Up works. cinropedia and PSO2DB descriptions inconsistent with each other a little bit. Plus some info that I found can be outdated, since it was written back when bonus was 120% not 110.
Anyway does it work just like JA bonus or you need to chain up your damage bonus until the boost reaches it's limit? The limit is always 110 or you need to max out the skill for this? I'm asking because this guide suggests to put only 5 pts into this skill, instead of 10. http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221527

Yeah, limit is always 110%, and each Just Attack adds whatever percent you put into your skill tree. If you want to test for yourself, a katana showcases it pretty well, since each swing is the same damage. As a Fi/Hu I have it maxed for BHS spam during Limit Break. I also like it for step attack Partisan Assault Buster and Hatou Rindo spam without using an entire pallete for a PA.

Kazan has some use, like finishing off stunned enemies in XQ (Stun counts as a status effect) in one hit.

For gear, remember when you Just Counter with full Katana Gear, you'll glow in purple, and increase your damage? It'll decrease overtime, and you can make it stay abit longer by doing damage. And Kazan Nadeshiko's charging animation recharges the activated Katana Gear at a very fast rate.

Stats differences are rather negligible in damage calculation, so unless you want to have "max stats" you can be any class/race combo as long as you get good gear and build a good skill tree.

When you use a 3-day pass, you get access to Layout A and B, and let you changes things there. After that pass period is over, the access to both layout is cut, BUT things that you already set will not reset. You just need another 3-day pass to access them again.

@mathisis
That seems like a crafted Bullet Bow. Even at max level, you can't get that many Dex, unless you have a Dex mag, but so much Dex for a single weapon isn't worth it. What you can do though is reducing the Dex requirement by using a 30% Requirement Decrease item, which is a reward from Title Counter.

How do I unlock the crafting recipe for extending a R-DEF unit with the +10 PP bonus?

KazukiQZ
Dec 22, 2014, 04:27 PM
First thing you need to know, it has 3 stages of PP recipe: Level 3, 8 and 10.

1) Reach level 20 of crafting.
2) Doing step above unlock Lv3 PP recipe automatically.
3) For level 8/10, you have to do the previous recipe crafting once, so one time level 3 PP crafting for level 8, and one time level 8 crafting for level 10.
4) Prepare large sum of meseta. My estimate for just level 3 one is around 3-4m. And this is just for one type of unit.

Alternate way:

Is there anything which could be the cause of my game not rendering at the highest possible quality? I'd also like to point out a few things first:

All settings in the launcher are as high as possible; every single one
The computer was custom-built for gaming, I know it can handle it
Everything in the game looked great... until about 2 weeks ago

Specifically, its weapons and units that seem to be hit the hardest; they're much blurrier and more pixelated than they used to be. For reference, I run the game in 1080p virtual fullscreen... I always have, and this was never before an issue

Question to you gunners, would buying this unit be worth 21 million? Only thing I hate about it is how low the PP is. I could care less about HP. I only have 774 HP that I get by with. The amount of PP i have now is 124 so that would put me at 120. I want to feel some sort of power but i'm curious (if by chance I come across one) a 13* unit can give. Like 150+?

120 r atk is nice, but for the cost, I'm pretty sure it'd be cheaper to make it, since it's a lousy 4slots. I wouldn't buy it.

Unless the furniture's only other source is FUN Shop or AC scratch, you probably should sell it.

It also depends on what you want to achieve. I used to hoard EVERYTHING and only sold things that had no affixes on them. Now I only keep units with affixes that I'd need since it's more expensive to affix units than weapons.

I generally desynthesise everything in the 7-9* range. Usually ends up more valuable that way (plus it's stackable!)

That said, I'm still kind of struggling with space, and that's WITH the OTP storage (although quite tolerable now than before).

Most of the "rare" 7-9* items are junk. Check the visiphone for the price and see if its junk or not. I would say 99% of 7-9* items (that you can get as drops) are useless. Use item desynthesis on them all. 10* items are also often not valuable, and if you cant use them (ie you are a hunter and you have a 10* force weapon) then trade them in for excubes.

About the storage, I recently had to deal with that as I got a ton of valuable items from the matter board and I cant sell them until I get a shop pass. There were 2 things I did.

1) Pull the FUN scratch until you get a my Room 3 day pass. For all the random room items that I only had a few of, I put them in my room as "storage". For things like flowers that you may have 100 of, this wont work but if you get other room stuff from the FUN scratch for example you can dump it all in your room for storage. You also can use excubes to buy a my room 3 day pass.

2) I again got a full storage so I took a desperate measure. I made a new character! My new character is now 50 inventory spaces of free storage for me.

Affix is more important then item rarity.
Only a few rare weapon are worth keeping, and those usually are upgraded and affixed fully anyway.

The "countermeasures" didn't even do anything to the old farming method, and arguably made it better.

It takes more slightly kills to get the same number of drops pre-nerf (200 points is the new norm as opposed to 150), but the max number of drops has been increased significantly, though it takes about 350 points.

So what am I not getting about PBF right now?


Each Photon Blade hit seems to have ~101% power for each hit. With PBF active this would be ~202%/hit since PBF doubles the damage and gear gain per hit.
Each thrown blade seems to hit once.
There are six blades thrown with max gear (both visual and audial cues), so that should be something like 606/1212% power each weapon action.
The rotation seems to be Shift -> Basic Attack since you can't JA chain Shift repeatedly. I looked at a NicoNico speedrun and that seemed to be the rotation they used as well.
From some quick attempts with a macro, it seems like the blade throw has a JA interval of ~610ms, and the basic attack is ~320ms. The combined total is 930ms.
Therefore, Photon Blade Fever spam at a range (so the basic attack doesn't hit) has a power/time of ~1303%/s.

That's... not as impressive as I was expecting. I wouldn't really put that at top-tier DPS, especially since it can't activate some of FI conditionals, but it definitely has much less stringent requirements for practical use than most PA setups in said tier. It's pretty amazing as it is for doing PA-level damage over time while restoring PP. But I was honestly expecting from the hype of it that it'd clear 2000%/s or something crazy.

Dephinix
Dec 24, 2014, 08:39 PM

I agree though, it's awesome, but really just seems like an apply all, not better than all.

Walkure
Dec 24, 2014, 09:04 PM
It doesn't, but I generally don't like to factor in skill tree multipliers. FI has a huge amount of varying conditionals that depend on builds/playstyle, and trying to account for that in comparison makes things far too annoying. PBF itself is intrinsic to BO Shift spam, for both the gear gain and the damage doubling, so counting it as a condition is a good enough exception for me.

Counting PBFU as a generic multiplier also makes the BO tree about the same as HU tree for multipliers while PBF is active. That makes comparisons a little bit easier as well.

Selphea
Dec 24, 2014, 09:07 PM
Honestly not sure myself, but Heavenly Kite is also 6 hits for ~1212 Power. Well, 1273 at level 17 to be precise.

On Bo/Hu with minimal buffs (only Fury and Ele) and full DB Gear I'm getting ~2.2k x 6 on Heavenly Kite and ~3.8k x 6 on PBF. Regular throws hit ~1.4k. That's with 681 Dex and on Free Field Oodans so variance should be the usual 10%. The only conditional should be JA since it's Bo/Hu.

Small sample size so I'm rounding to the hundreds, but should give a ballpark I hope.

Walkure
Dec 24, 2014, 09:28 PM
I just use critical hits so that there's no variance and the formula becomes completely deterministic.

Honestly I just took FI/BO, no stances activated and whatnot, and used a Grand Cross/Licht I have lying around for movement.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/OEQ9jV0.png[/SPOILER-BOX]

If two different attack samples converge to ~253DEF on Oodans in SH Forest Exploration, and the % difference isn't that large, then it's a decent estimate. The damage is low enough that I actually should've used stances/attack boosts so that rounding doesn't mess things up, lol.

Is there anyway to check or change my contact email? I can access the site to change details. I just can't find those options.

So how do you Anga farm party anyway? Like is there a general rule of thumb for public PW-locked parties? Do you individually head in to find an Anga then advertise it or is there more to it?

Aside the obvious reach the quest points asked.

If it's individual, what kind of messages should be put into the party window if you found an Anga?

Okay, so a while back, I was asking about why my game's quality seems to have dropped... After a while of searching, I was able to find a decent "before" image and now just took a similar "after" image

Does anyone know why my game's texture quality may have gone down? All of my settings have always been maximized, and nothing has changed. I even checked just now; everything is set as high as possible... any idea on what I could do to fix it? It's... quite noticeable in story cutscenes, but it's otherwise not so bad

You sure it hasn't changed? I also had this problem around the time of the DDoS, when I had to start using the Tweaker. (I generally didn't use it) That thing's always messed with my settings when I didn't want it to. Whether it was screwing up my window placement or switching my graphics settings.

Solution that worked for me:
Go to ..\Documents\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2
Open "user.pso2" in notepad
ctrl+f "TextureResolution"
Make sure it's set to "2"
Save, boot game

Head in individually, then advertise if you find one. Example is probably the best way to show this:

I name my party アンガX, put a password in the description and tell people I'm going to 250 points (250~ポイント). I run 4-5 blocks for Anga, and if it ends up spawning in my game, I change my party name to アンガ〇, and people will join. (there are some alternatives to this, of course. Some people list the time they found the Anga, for example, so make sure you have a clock handy)

In the event that I don't find Anga, I pipe back up and check the quest list to see if anyone has found Anga, and if so, join that party, if not, do another run. After everyone joins a party, kill until said points and kill Anga.

Once a party is 8/12, people start moving. If you want more, you'll have to specify in your description, but 8 is the standard number people wait for.

As a tip, this is best done in pairs. One person looks for Anga, while another waits on the campship incase any Angas are found, as these parties fill up very quickly as there are a lot of people who don't run and just wait on campship for someone to find Anga.

You can only do each weapon quest once, but you can trade in one weapon for another in order to max the element of one of them or to get a different element.

Actually, you get 4 passes for his weapons from one of his COs.
It's up to you whether you want to turn those to 4 of the same weapons or if you want different types of em. The weapon COs ARE repeatable and cools down near instantly. Element type and values are random though.

Can anyone enlighten me how to get the Special crafting for unit?

http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/craft_2_16.php#leg

For example, Lv.10 Special R-DEF extensions for unit apparently have +10 PP instead of 20 HP + 2 PP. So basically you just craft the thing at your room crafting menu or something?

I just wanna know how to do it before I commit into building the stuff. Thanks in advance!

Posting this one for a friend: someone I know is plagued with erratic NP1014 errors on his PC, but his laptop handles the game fine. I've searched around for a fix, but most threads/posts just end with no resolution posted. Gameguard reinstalls, OS reinstalls, driver rollbacks, and disabling firewall/antivirus have not solved it on this particular PC.

Anyone have any idea what else could cause this error?

Try killing background programs? If my memory serves, that error is there because GameGuard hates program running on your PC (try disabling external software that can display FPS counter too).

I still think light is the best choice, the element is no different than any other weapon's (the basic non-Tech attacks deal that elemental damage)

The one exception to this would be if you play Force, as "Elemental Conversion" is a skill which increases the power of Techniques if they match the weapon of the current element (that applies to any weapon, even Gunslashes, Swords, Rifles, etc., I believe). So if you ever decide to main an element (generally ice or light at the moment), it might be a good idea to make it a matching element

Walkure
Dec 26, 2014, 05:30 PM
Depends on what the tech weapon could possibly be. You want to match the elemental attribute to the elemental mastery potentials whenever possible. That means light for Luther rods (because of Cacadeus), Fire for ones that drop from Dinians (because of Bert Rodan).

Was wondering if I used a mag reset device, would I then be able to use the change form pass once it reached lvl 100 to get the previous form? Say to get it back to an Akuma mag?

KazukiQZ

^Idk, but it's better to buy a new mag, and raise it to lv100. After that, just use a mag change form pass, and you can choose Arkuma mag for your new mag.

I had a friend of mine did the same thing, but with Mikudayo mag instead.

So I'm considering messing with FI....one of the reaons I shrugged at it was that you had to position yourself to get the optimal damages from the stances....

with that being said....what is the pros/con of using /HU /BR /BO as subs?

Rakurai
Dec 26, 2014, 09:52 PM
HU has the most consistent damage multipliers and increased survivability if you want it.

BR has lower multipliers then HU, but provides a large increase to standard attack damage, faster mate usage, and recovery from just reversals.

BO has high PP regen and lets you use support techs like Zondeel and Megiverse. Its stances are the most situational out of the three, however.


Most people just go with HU, as it doesn't really have any major cons over the others.

Walkure
Dec 26, 2014, 10:17 PM
The pros/cons involve weapon choices as well - Fighter still heavily leverages whatever weapons their subclass can use.

FI/HU - Hunter weapons have the clunkiest single-target damage options, but they're they highest DPS of melee weapons as far as I've seen. Also gives good mobbing options. Skill tree gives consistent multipliers, as well as defensive options.
FI/BR - Katana Combat + Limit Break could do work I guess. Snatch JA isn't terribly practical for FI weapons, and the multipliers are pretty low.
FI/BO - Dual Blades have strong sustained single-target damage while Limit Break and Photon Blade Fever are active. You need an elemental array for all the weapons that you use to get the most use of Elemental Stance, since Break Stance focus isn't terribly useful.

I am utterly confused by emergency quests. I remember in the past (before the big reorganization of blocks) I could just go to a populated block and start the quest, instantly finding a multi-party group and being dropped into it.

Now I queue up and I'm always the only one there. Not only do I have no idea what block to go to for this (Since SEGA in their infinite wisdom didn't add a dedicated EQ block) but I have no idea why I'm forever alone.

You have to go to the block for your difficulty level. If you need help finding the right block, go to "find party on another block".

^Unfortunately you can't do that. But, did you know you can create 2 characters for free? Unless you already used up both slots.

Question time: Perfect Calamity potential boost the effect of Perfect Keeper by 5/7/9%.
But, does it means (lets take the level 3 pot) 9% of Perfect Keeper (20% damage increase), which means only 1.8% damage increase?
Or is it flat out 9%+20%=29% Perfect Keeper?

Not that I know of but it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep spare discs in your storage anyways. I keep multiples of anything useful or that are kinda rare. You'll still need a certain amount of attack to learn them, but that usually isn't too big a feat.

It's a separate multiplier, just like Fury/Other Stance Potentials.

and I don't get the new block system hard , normal , beginner they were just blocks you can join they didn't specify the level is there a +%EXP if you join a higher level ?
