Can someone explain to me, in detail, on where to WB the new boss. Magatsu. I got the general idea of knee caps, arms, head, and core, but there's so many heads! Lol! I don't know where to exactly WB.

Wefwq was accurate, but since you mentioned Magatsu having too many heads (which he does)...

http://lulls32moen.web.fc2.com/pso2_ss/PSO2_magatsu_DestructionPosition1
You can ignore the hand/palms in this image. Breaking the hands & smaller faces reduces the number of lasers Magatsu can shoot, but most of his laser attacks are very telegraphed & slow moving.

Oh right, I forgot to ask ....

When using Bullet Bow,

Palette 1 : Master Shoot, Last Nemesis, Banish Arrow
Palette 2 : Chase Arrow, Penetrating Shoot, Sharp Bomber

if I switch from palette 1 to palette 2 (both have same weapon assigned to it), will Banish Arrow and Chase Arrow gone? Or I can switch them freely without the risk of the PA gone?

Thank you.

1/2 both legs and then middle. Once you break the middle you keep WB on that again. This for me has been the most efficient way so far killing SH Magatsu in 1-2min. I'm hoping this catches on and people refrain from going for the other faces. I'll try and get this on video soon if there isn't one already ^^;

HEAVENLY / CLAYMORE MPA, so it's really fast (like 40-50 seconds), but it can be replicated in PUGs if everyone gets the memo, to be about 1-2 minutes like you said:

Alice, Io, Katori, Saga, Matoi, Theodore all give good stuff.

Sara, Quna, Light, Melphonsina all give nothing. Never use them.

Everyone else gives you synthesizers and low level PA discs. (Franka gives you chef accessories and a frying pan camo)

Matoi, Katori, and Saga are all easy to unlock for beginners, Do matter board 3 for Matoi. Do the first few orders from Saga and Katori to get their cards.

Anyone have more details on this or the entire memo?

Things like viable class combinations, how much damage should you be hitting, ect...
In the video, I see Fi/Bo and Br/Ra. Any others?

Anyways, considering SH Magatsu has ~29mil hp, with 12 people, each person will needs to deal ~2.4mil damage in the time frame of 40-50 seconds. I am fairly certain that a decent amount of people that join PUGs aren't capable of dealing that type of damage. Not to mention you only have about 15-20 seconds of Magatsu's down time from the busted kneecaps. So, the actual required damage rate would be over 100k per second.

See.. I went there but it didn't answer jack.

Eg. Mizer Soul + Mizer Soul + Shoot IV = a Shoot IV with 40% success rate even though it says its supposed to boost Shoot affix rate.

Affixing a Shoot IV by itself without soul is 40% success rate as well so am I to believe that Cirnopedia's info is incomplete?

That is the entire memo -- just do damage to the core. Yes, optimally you should be taking whatever classes you do the most boss damage with, this is really obvious and shouldn't needed to be stated. For classes that do the most damage on the belly, you'll want stuff like FiHu, FiBo, GuRa, etc. (only chain after second stomach break as GU) Also, Kee-Roc is just being a disgusting leech on BrRa!

You still attack the stomach once he's gotten up though, you don't start getting the rest of the parts, he'll still die in under 2 minutes in a pick-up-group, providing people at least have basic gear (eg: 50+ attack on units, at least +10 weapons, that sort of stuff).

Very interesting, I suppose the hard part would be to get everyone else to continue to attack the stomach core after its darkened. Welp, I'll see what I can do in PUGs with only my party in on this method and see what happens. And thanks abunch.

And also, was KEE-ROC really a leech? He is using a 130 R-atk Saiki set. He did pretty close to a million in the first 15 seconds of the fight. Couldn't really tell what he was doing with Homing Emission after, but I saw multiple 13k's and 24k's that looked like his damage. I am sure he got close to the 2.4m average. =/

Z-0
Feb 11, 2015, 02:16 PM
Haha, no, he's not really "leeching" in the standard definition of the term, but in my world taking something that isn't optimal is certainly leeching if you have the option to take something more optimal! :P He was just playing BrRa for the EXP, not for any particular damage reason.

EDIT: That being said though, BrRa and BrGu do more than RaBr and GuBr respectively if you have a 60 element Ares Bow, so there is that.

Aine
Feb 11, 2015, 02:27 PM
Actually RaBr(BrRa) is there just to break the folded arms and stomach with Banish, so everyone else doesn't have to waste time doing so. The template comp is TeGu1, GuRa1, GuBr3, RaBr1~2, FiBo5~6. If everyone's specced properly you can get 35~40s runs reliably.

If you want to go under 30s though you'll have to do a headshot GuBr based run (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kqx8uVFUFs). This is the method Quadrillion uses so it's pretty safe to assume this is the fastest method...

The main advantages of going for the core though are that it's easier to fill slots with randoms when we're doing Magatsu on other ships, and Fighter has a better class drop bonus than Gunner if all you care about is cubes.

Z-0
Feb 11, 2015, 02:30 PM
Pretty sure headshot GuBr based run is faster too. We do a half RaBr / GuBr setup due to lack of GuBr, and we're faster than all of the belly-runs I've seen, despite using the slower Master Shoot > LN chain setup (since 3 GuBr using Penetrate won't do enough damage I don't think). We finish around 30-35s depending on how things go.

I've been spying on the Quadrillion sheet and I notice they never have TeGu or GuTe, just 1 TeRa, 2~3 RaBr, 8~9 GuBr. Maybe it's better to cut PK and add another DPS?

Feb 11, 2015, 02:52 PM
I was thinking it's because you need someone to possibly finish the chain for the GUs? I don't know how high they build, but at really high chains I don't think there's enough time to use Banish > whatever and still set it off (but I'm not sure, someone will have to clarify). In our MPAs, the TeRa spams one point so that the GUs are able to setup all their things and still be able to use a 100 chain with all the PAs they use.

Personally, we just run with this:

You can try this build for a Hu/Fi. Bare in mind that the Fighter has some unspent SP. The reason being; Several of Fighter's skills are either niche use or require you to main Fighter (play as a Fi/Hu, not a Hu/Fi). You can change whatever you agree/disagree with. This is just a simple, quick-rough-idea.

http://pso2-skill.pwnedgalaxy.net/skillcalc.php?09fbxIkbxIkbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxIm0 jdBdBdoIbi2dBkcISfqnb2JkrAIs000000dBdAfJIdKeBGFGK6 dn00000jdoib0000000fdo000000lo00000007oIn00000000I bIo0000008doIb0000008

Should you decide to play Fi/Hu instead, you may want to ditch Striking Up3 & Wise Stance to dump points into Limit Break + Half/Deadline Slayer(s) + Crazy Beat. It's extremely risky, but: For 30-60 seconds, you will get +450 S-Attack plus an additional +20% damage... at the cost of locking yourself to 25% of Max HP (for that 30-60 seconds). All of that would be further added to the +45% Damage from Brave Stance, the +30% from Fury Stance & the various JA Damage Bonuses from both classes.

Thank you! I'm in the right direction for sure. Just need a bit of tweaking for both classes and all should be good but they look well done,thanks!

Can someone explain to me how people combo using Chase Arrow? I just found out about this PA, and I'm not entirely sure how people use it effectively, especially on bosses.

Perfect Chaos
Feb 11, 2015, 07:36 PM
@Syklo: Not always. In this case, it was more than an hour (I'm guessing it was 2 hours) ahead of PSO2, from the time-stamp of the post.

@Skize: Chase Arrow is a PA that you have to set-up by using it. It stores up to 3 shots. Then the next time you deal damage with a PA or charged technique, it will automatically trigger and fire those stored arrows at the target that you damaged. Switching to another weapon cancels out the stored arrows. If you don't have a bow camo, switching to another bow does too, from what I've read. It's useful for stacking on more damage for Banish Arrow.

So essentially, what you do is:
1) Chase Arrow
2) Switch to another palette with the same weapon
3) Use Banish Arrow
4) Last Nemesis
5) Profit

It is RNG. However you CAN plan WITH the RNG based on certain events. A common way before I quit from DDOS last year was this:
1) Sacrifice a team member to the RNG God.
2) Wait for rare drop boost event.
3) Use rare drop boost +250%
4) Use tri-boost +100%
5) Use premium drink before leaving Campship for rare drop boost.
6) Pray that the sacrifice was enough for the RNG God.
7) Profit.

Honestly, I feel the same way. I do UQ cause it's fun as heck. Running around like a chicken with my head cut off as I'm chased by 6 mobs that have SH boss hp and strength makes it challenging.

Anyway...

1) Is AQ/XQ still the best way to level up after 60?
2) Is it possible to get daily boost up to 30%? I only saw 9% from doing Daily Orders.
3) Is AQ still the best way to get Photon Drops?

Well, I can answer your 2nd question. Yes, the entire daily bonus doesn't go away after a day, so if you keep doing them they will build up to 30%.

@Syklo: Not always. In this case, it was more than an hour (I'm guessing it was 2 hours) ahead of PSO2, from the time-stamp of the post.



Well I did say usually.
From what I've seen, it always goes down 5 mins before the hour, but sometimes several hours before pso2 (happened a couple weeks ago too)

So essentially, what you do is:
1) Chase Arrow
2) Switch to another palette with the same weapon
3) Use Banish Arrow
4) Last Nemesis
5) Profit
Is that correct?Why do you need step 2? You can store 3 different PAs on the same weapon palette and use the shift key to toggle between them. Bows don't have the rotation system like Katanas and some other weapons do.
Also, you should Just Attack the 3 Chase Arrows when you set them up, as the damage bonus gets applies when you set them up. Certain other damage multipliers like Rapid Shoot Mastery will also apply when you set them up, and not when they trigger, as well.
But yeah, your order works fine, and is preferred if you have time beforehand to set up the Chase Arrows before a boss, since you can do that even before the teleporter to the boss. While in the middle of a boss fight, it might be better to go Banish Arrow->Chase Arrow (X times, up to 3, depending on the amount of PP you still have and what the boss is doing)->Last Nemesis all in one JA string.

Well I did say usually.
From what I've seen, it always goes down 5 mins before the hour, but sometimes several hours before pso2 (happened a couple weeks ago too)Now you're saying "always". :p j/k
From all of the instances when I noticed, more often than not does maintenance on PSO2es start at least an hour before PSO2's. But maybe it's because I never try to log into PSO2es within 5 minutes before PSO2 goes down, and only way before that...
It's weird how much the PSO2es maintenance schedule fluctuates.

Why do you need step 2?

Because people say to use Master Shot before Nemesis when you are starting the boss fight, as you'll have max PP.

Oh, right. You'd need a 4th PA slot for Master Shoot. But the fact that he didn't even list Master Shoot makes it odd.

Well I only say that cuz the pop up notice usually says "10:55" and pso2 maint generally starts at 11 (JST of course)....

Hello !

I'm about to create a new character (Gunner main and probably Hunter 2nd for the buff..) but my concern is about the MAG, the one on my main character is the basic R-ATK+DEX, but I feel like putting the time into pure R-ATK MAG if it's worth it, zero everywhere only R-ATK.

What do you guys think ? ( I did quick researchs before asking but only found "old" posts, so sorry for asking "again" but I'd rather be sure about this decision than following something outdated :) )

Not sure if it is completely up to date. (http://www.bumped.org/psublog/pso2-the-ac-store-and-fun-scratch-guide/)

Mags are 300AC, so roughly 2.50USD; 30 days premium is ~11USD (This is assuming AC is purchased through PSO2es under current exchange rates). No deals, but there is the occasional promotion where buying/spending AC will get you some in game items.

See, this is another reason why I would never play PSO2 in a NA/EU release. The prices are FAIR! In a typical NA/EU release, prices are jacked up by at least 2x in most if not all mmos.

To expand on that, 30 days nets you 1 100% Tribooster and 1 Casino Coin Pass, 60 Days nets you 2 100% Triboosters and 2 Casino Coin Passes, 90 Days nets you 3 100% Triboosters, 3 Casino Coin Passes, a Hair Accessory, and an Earring Accessory; all of these stack, so if you buy a 30-Day, 60-Day, and 90-Day pass, you'll get 6 Triboosters, 6 Casino Coin Passes, and the two accessories. That would cost you 6900AC, though, 300AC more than just buying 2 90-Day Premium Sets.

Today is unusual since it is a day later than usual, but I chalk up the general confusion about maintenance to the fact that most MMOs have it during a time period that isn't peak hours. For PSO2 it holds true for its target market, but for people outside of Japan, it typically falls into their normal play hours. For example, I"m in the PST timezone, so this maintenance is from 4PM to 12AM.

As far as I know the account links to your vita. You need to unlink it to use your same account on the physical version. I'm not sure if this was changed but I doubt it. I don't know how to do this though because you need to ask Sega and I have no knowledge of Japanese. It's probably some security reason why they do this.

I'm pretty sure that the only thing that is linked is your PSN ID and your SEGA ID. As long as you are using the physical version with the same PSN account as the digital version, you should have no problem.

People were often trying to unlink their PSN and SEGA IDs because you can use a non-Japanese PSN account with the physical version, thus avoiding all the loops that must be jumped through to play your region's games after playing PSO2, or something like that.

You're a Ranger right? Look for Tian Unit Set. It's a 2-pieces set (rear and arm) with 90 ratk and 10PP bonus. As for leg unit, use the best one you have for now. When you're high enough level, you can craft them to give you more defense and PP (or HP, or both!). But this'll be stuff for later. For this crafting matter, once your base s-def and r-def reach 374, you can start learning how to craft them ( You need to prepare around 3m mseta for the materials, craft cost and several support items).

Dont forget to grind both of the units to+10 too for better defense.

Dio Strauss is ok for that level, but dont forget to grind it to highest level possible (+10 being the highest). From my experience, grinding rare weapons below 10* is really frustrating, so you could try to aim +7 or 8, or +10 if u;re a daredevil.

How to improve your rifle: Make sure its element is 50 max. For example, if your Strauss has 25 Light, you need another Dio Strauss with at least 25 Light and above. Search in player shop for the right one. You will need 27 Synthentizers for that process though.

Go to Dudu/Monica, select grind attribute, select main weapon, select material weapon, hit OK and 50 element!

But what does that mean? It means it get 50% more damage regardless of element weakness. So if the rifle has 1000 ratk (for example ), with 50 Light, it actually has 1500 ratk.

Dio Strauss is ok for that level, but dont forget to grind it to highest level possible (+10 being the highest). From my experience, grinding rare weapons below 10* is really frustrating, so you could try to aim +7 or 8, or +10 if u;re a daredevil.

How to improve your rifle: Make sure its element is 50 max. For example, if your Strauss has 25 Light, you need another Dio Strauss with at least 25 Light and above. Search in player shop for the right one. You will need 27 Synthentizers for that process though.

Go to Dudu/Monica, select grind attribute, select main weapon, select material weapon, hit OK and 50 element!

But what does that mean? It means it get 50% more damage regardless of element weakness. So if the rifle has 1000 ratk (for example ), with 50 Light, it actually has 1500 ratk.

Thank you for the detailed answer, cleared up a couple other doubts i had. I'll get on it.

Yes, they are one-time use. The Gunne Ginna-gam trigger is the hot item for Saika set hunting. I'm sure by now you've seen people forming hunting parties for it; this post (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=227027) actually explains how these parties work.

Which is the best method of doing a trigger party? Everyone in an individual game with a trigger set? Would 12 straight triggers even go off back to back to back like that? Or groups and each person uses theirs one after the other just switch in leaders and remaking?
Basic before you starting up:
- You must find a group of 11 (including yourself and it's 12), it far much better if you know those guys personally and can trust them.
- Ensure that all of them have trigger item ready on their bag, and not just "i have enough CC but didn't trade it yet"
- To minimize chance of lag, move to less populated block

Play rules:
- Make 3 parties, with 4 members each (total 12 person)
- Pick 1 party to create a MPA (but don't actually create it yet)
- From the said party, pick 1 person to use a trigger (usualy the party lead will use it first), and don't forget to lock your MPA!
- After locked MPA created, the rest can join (search from quest counter) and input the MPA pass
- Don't forget, the one who use the trigger the only one that can trigger the E-Trial, so don't get close to the icon on the map before everyone else coming
- Everyone attempt to break all boss parts before killing them
- After E-trial finished, collect your loots and pops a telepipe to back to campship
- Still on party 1, transfer party leader status to member 2 and recreate MPA with trigger again (don't forget to lock MPA)
- Everyone else on group join
- After all members on party 1 finished, pick the next party to use their triggers and repeat above until finished.

XH actually still felt pretty easy if you have high-end SH gear, if you can easly solo SH content you're probably good to go.
You don't even need those fancy *12, in fact lots of *11 can easly outclass some *12.
*13 are indeed powerful, but it's extremly hard to get due to "current situation" of UQ and is really pricey to grind.

If so, maybe you should wait awhile since it looks like OTP need sometime to process the new registration.
I do have similar problem back then when i'm trying to setting up OTP on my phone, and all i do just wait until like 20 hours until it work by itself.

As for bluestack, iirc SecureOTP won't work with bluestack but i don't really know if there some people already manage to make it work.

Not really, you could try to extending it to same extend level since it'll boost additional effect such as lowering stat req, or equipable classes and chance for the said extended weapon being able to be equipped by all classes.
It may be frustating and really expensive, though.

Haha... nope.
All anyone wants from Ultimate are the 13*, due to their vastly superior stats compared to 12*. Your best bet is to convince some friends to do the Ultimate runs with you or drudge through the runs yourself.

Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear. If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat as you. I couldn't give a damn about 13* stats, I just want a ChainsawD.

Automate halfline triggers when you fall below 50%, mag can trigger anytime you take damage. They can trigger at the same time. There is no priority and they can both trigger in the same instance.

Perfect Chaos
Feb 14, 2015, 10:54 PM
Hm...
So if, for example, your Mag would heal you to max after taking over 50% of your HP in one hit, would Automate (assuming to be at 100%) also trigger and waste a mate?
Also, for another example (in case Automate is not at 100%, making Mag trigger healing more applicable), if Automate does kick in and heal you to max, would your Mag still cycle through its triggers, thus wasting their chance to activate and have to go through the cool-down before it can activate again?

It's situations like these that make me wonder if there's an order or if stuff gets wasted. If it's simultaneous, then stuff will probably get wasted... :-/

KazukiQZ
Feb 14, 2015, 11:03 PM
^It's at the same time, but not really wasted though. Automate is 100% (provided its level is 10/10) while mag heal action is not always 100%.

If automate is not 10/10, better to not spend any point there and instead take other skills. Some people do this, with the mag filled with heal actions (5 slots heal, or maybe the max 7)

If automate were to heal you to full, then it's possible for your mag to still heal you. I have had it happen to me once, but automate always uses your weakest mate, so this will almost never happen anyway. As for your mag and automate healing you that's already super rare, I have only seen it happen 3 times.

I was afraid of that.

Well with that being said....what would be the pros/cons of being a katana oriented vs Bow oriented BR (besides the obviously not being able to use the other wep lol)

I'd say .....

========================

⊡ Katana oriented (I'd use Average Stance, but it's still up to you)
Pros :
- stronger for mobbing
- better survival (still depends on your ability to side-step ..... but I'd say it's easier to do Just Guard with Katana than stepping)
- you can still use bow to kill air-borne normal mobs, since bow's still quite strong for normal mobs without investing too much for it.
- better PP recovery

Cons :
- strong enough for bossing, but if the boss's HP is too high (stares at Magatsu and Luther), you might need to rely on Katana Combat cooldown to shave a lot of the boss HP.

==========================

⊡ Bow oriented (I'd use Weak Stance, but it's still up to you. I'd go for RaBr too for SharpShooter.)
Pros :
- stronger for bossing, especially high HP one. Banish Arrow combo can work constantly without worrying on a skill cooldown. Even better with Rapid Shoot, though there'll be a down-time after every use.
- pretty strong for some group of mobs, especially the ones that make 1 straight line (Penetrating Arrow is really good for killing those)
- strong charged normal attacks. You might not need PA to kill normal mobs, thanks to Attack Advance and Charge Shoot. But, limited to single target due to the need of charging.

Cons :
- High PP cost PAs, some PA are a bit slow too.
- Not so good at PP recovery. Might want to invest on other weapon for speedy PP recovery purpose. Or you can just stick with charged normal attacks, doing some high damage while recovering PP.

====================================

Then, try asking on Braver thread again? More people will give you more info on both pros and cons :)

Mag feeding related question:

What item besides the Trimate and Shiftaride, that decrease Dex bar while increasing T-atk? IMO, those two is rather slow at decreasing Dex, so alot more time of mag feeding spent just to reduce it back to (almost) zero.

For comparison, for R-atk mag, I use Mushroom Table (5* furniture from Room Shop) which can decrease 1/3 of Dex bar (If it is still at zero level). Trimate/Shiftaride just decrease it by 1/5.

Extra question: What does Sol Atomizer decrease? It shown at mag as increasing Dex.

They both got really different playstyle, but katana in general are more preferable due to it's versatility.

Katana:
+ Moderately fast and pretty strong in general
+ Good for mobbing
+ Build-in just guard and auto-counter function
+ Katana gear, when active grants you temporary attack and critical rate boost
+ Invicibility during katana combat & strong combat finish (have to be unlocked from skill tree)
- You will real hard suck at killing flying enemies
- Almost all of it's PA has forced timing, it'll interrupt you from pulling damage sometimes

Bow:
+ Long range, and pretty great for bossing
+ Some of it's PA has pretty ridiculously long reach
+ Able to stack damage with certain PA, will result in GOAT total damage
- Shitty mobbing due to it's PA mainly focused on single target
- You will always starve for PP due to it's shitty PP recovery

Get katana for action-packaged melee.
Get bow for damage-stacking game and aim for highest damage possible.

Both can be great depending on which flavor you prefer.

I wanna try out Bouncer with Jet Boots, is there anything I need to know stat- or gameplay-wise? I've been absent a really long time but I kinda wanted to play something new.
I tried to find a good Jet Boots guide but wasn't able to find anything. I also searched in the Bouncer Class Discussion but there were mostly simple posts and discussions with players who had specific questions. If you could give me a quick overview or at least a link to a website that has one, I'd really appreciate it.
And please no "Dual Blades does more dmg huehuehue". Thank you. =)

Strengths:


Easy to control PP amount (good for PP Slayer)
Wide AoEs for a melee weapon
Fairly versatile, can handle bosses and mobs reasonably well
Aerial combat - has double jump and easy to stay in the air
TATK weapon - can cast techs offensively with a TATK build
Cheap - Boots are less popular and less bound to rainbow set despite Elemental Stance


Weaknesses:


Imprecise - Most PAs are imprecise and have a high chance to hit the wrong spot on very small targets even while standing right in front of them
Vulnerable to attack - PAs are long and typically immobile and/or have charge times. Shift action changes with every PA, so invincible frames on Shift are not always available.
Clunky - Unintentional element switching due to charged Zondeel/Zanverse/Megiverse/Shift dodging is a hassle


Stats:


Vanilla Boots Build: Stack TATK
Switch Strike Build: Stack SATK
Other stats: Consider Stamina affixing due to super armor and immobility on Boots PAs


Gameplay:


Moment Gale - Main AoE
Gran Wave - Gap closer and fast single target. Tends to veer off in wrong direction if target moves. Kicks are imprecise and can hit a Wonda shield even while standing in front of a Wonda. Okay damage if it works; suggest having alternate fast single target weapon for cases where it doesn't.
Strike Geist - slow but reasonably powerful single target; Good if not full Gear
Vinto - status applier without Shift; slow but powerful concentrated AoE with Shift; omgwtf damage if full Gear


Class Combos:


BoHu - Switch Strike hybrid with Hunter weapons
BoFi - Switch Strike hybrid with Fighter weapons
FiBo - TATK build
BrBo - Niche alternative TATK build; uses Weak Stance and Banish Arrow on TATK bow. Fights trash like a Force due to Weak Stance, except with Elemental Burst. Bosses and tougher mobs with weak points can go either way.


Gear:


Entry-level units: Crafted Hiei
Mid-range TATK units: Crafted Negro or uncrafted Midia
High-end units: Saiki or Burisa
Entry-level boots: Arestice
Anti-Darker: Starcadia
High-end boots: Ares, Zuirenheit (ズィレンハイト)
Other race hunters: Check Cirnopedia

11* TD Dual Blade with PP Save. When out of PP (after using Ilzonde), you can just step > jump > shift action to keep moving, avoiding the acceleration process while still moving at full speed.

Strictly speaking you'll use a combination of weapons, but if you only plan to use one, go with that.

I still think it takes quite a bit of practice regardless of level. Although, equipment probably plays a big part as well.

Arma Ros did a video of all Free Field bosses as Ra/Br without WB, and tends to use more elaborate (if unnecessary) Banish combos - see 2:34 for Ringa. If you need more damage in your burst, you can try looking there for ideas:

- Reduce graphic settings (turn off various graphical features from launcher or in-game settings menu, lower detailed character counts also help)
- Reduce screen resolution (if playing on fullscreen mode)
- Set graphical performance to "High Performance" instead of balanced or power savings
- More RAM
- Buy a better HDD
- Get a proper GPU
- Avoid high temp so that your rig won't throttling (better cooling method or use cooling pad if using notebook)
- Play on Fullscreen mode, it'll reduce lag spike but be warry the game will prone to crash due to it's shitty coding
- Close any unecessary background program and services before playing the game
- Adjust your Windows 7 display for better performance (pretty huge effect if you're using virtual fullscreen mode) from "Performance Options"

A character given 4 different accessory slots, maybe the slot that your mittens use are the same slot as your hat.
Try applying your accessory to different slot.

Hey there,

Would you say a class combo like Te/Br would be heavily dependant on gear? Such as needing a weapon for each element to be acceptably efficient. I don't know when, or if I'll be able to turn premium to buy the needed weapons to avoid a possibly long grind.

Would I still be able to keep up and compete minimally with other players without needing multiple skill trees and a big collection of weapons?

Also, a small extra question. What would you say would be the most viable T-Atk class combos that don't require an insane amount of gear to be effective? Being difficult to play isn't a problem.

If you want to bring out it's max potential, I would say yes. You're in luck though, cause I know the bow everyone uses is
cheaper now, and traitor cages are a nice and easy fix as well. I only use one skill tree myself, though considering getting more,
definitely not necessary though. Collection of weapons depends and what skill you take. You'll lose Element Weak Hit without having
at least five wands, and if you pick weak stance, all your hits will be lower unless you're fighting that one enemy that's weak to it.
If you can keep getting big pulls though, I'm sure it won't matter with all the wand explosions. Just something to consider.

Hi guys,

How important is weapon extending, and how far should i take it?

I'm currently working on a Dio Strauss+10, extension level 2 with 50 Light.

I should be doing VH to grab me a 10 star, but NPCs are really bad helpers due to their AIs effective combat range, so i don't really grind there a lot while i'm still poorly geared AND relatively low-leveled. 45-ish ATM, with just over 1500 R-Atk (with weapon ofc)
Team Members would be good, but we're mostly on different time zones, so when i'm starting they're usually done with Dailies and the like.

If you're set on a weapon, I would generally say as far as you can.
It being that weapon with a bad potential, if you are seeing a lot of bad damage variance, extend it to lvl 9 to use silva mats. It'll make things
nicer. If you don't care with the variance, lvl 5 extend should be fine too, that's 894 r atk, and at that lvl who can really complain.

If you can't get a better weapon, then it's pretty much an easy shortcut to get decent weapon, just make sure the weapon that you extend has good potential/latent on it.

Are you playing PSO2 using a notebook? It's actually inferno hot for a desktop build.
Aim for 50C~60C if you're on desktop, if notebook there's no much you can do.

Yes, it's because desktop has wide variety of options for cooling, unlike notebook.
It's normal for notebook to hit inferno hot while playing game, i still remember my notebook hits 90C after certain driver update by NVIDIA back then...

My notebook usually hover around 38C~45C idle, and shoot up to 80C when playing PSO2.
You can buy some cooling pad to restrain extra hot air, it can make your notebook cooler by few degree and make palmrest more comfortable.

If your notebook using NVIDIA GPU, you can limit it's temp to certain degree so it'll auto-throttling by using NVIDIA Inspector, can decrease heat but may impact your game performance.

So you mean like other rares will drop more often rather than 12*?

I'll try to explain it based on info taken from PSO2 S wiki. You asked about area drops (EQ specific 12*s or 10*s in Ultimate). I'll try to focus on area drops. On that note here is the webpage I am using: http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?ドロップ条件まとめ

Item Drops are performed in the following order:

1. Rare Drop (Native mob level)

2. Rare Drop (Under native mob level)

3. Same Class Drop (2nd chance at the items before this if you are the main class for them)

4. Class Drops 1* - 6*s (junk weapons, PA disk)

5. Common Drops 1* - 6* (mates.. maybe grinders are in this one?)

6. Area Drops (examples, Quna's 12* jet boots from FC Eq, 12* dual blades from Volcano EQ, etc)

7. Meseta

8. You get nothing

The reason I say Rare Drop Boost is a double edge sword because while it does affect Area Drops, it also affects items in section 1,2,3,4 and 5 if Grinders are in 5. Rare Drop Boost affects certain 6*s and every 7*+

If you are aimming solely for area drops you are trying to reach "lottery" 6 without cashing out. On that note I'm trying to find the perfect balance of rare boost for this reason on EQs like FC XH.

You also could just get lucky. Luck is a totally viable thing. I've found 2 12* volcano dual blades with 250% and Quna's 12* jet boots with a 50%. In the end it really is all just luck.

By using rare drop rate booster, that means you boost all possible rare drops, it including the shitty one.
In general, lower-tier rare has bigger drop rate by default making it automatically receive bigger bonus from RDR boost, in the end you won't really feel the difference since your drop table pretty much still polluted by junks.

I would appreciate it if somebody could provide possible solutions to this matter. I'm using mobile data instead of WiFi too, if that is of concern.
Thanks in advance! :-)

So I just hit Lv70 on one of my classes and I was wondering.

What are the benefits of moving on to XH Difficulty or should I just stick to SH?

Chance at 12*, higher rates for 10* and 11*, more xp.

If theres no 12* that you care about, or you want to level up a 50-69 character feel free to run SH. Then theres some EQs like Magatsu where it can be more profitable to do SH because you can get a ton of excubes because it goes much faster.
