[Sizustar]

yea we are both hardwired to the same router. I dont have connection issues with any other games tho, think my driver could just cause this game to be shotty?

It's possible, update display driver, install all window updates, update direct X, run a virus and malware/adware scan, and defragment your drive.

[GHNeko]

Anyone know what the hell "Attack Interval" is about for Rapid Shot?

[Sp-24]

It may have something to do with the interval between attacks. EDIT: specifically, that much delay is added to each shot while Rapid Shoot is active.

[GHNeko]

So no one has a clear cut answer right now?

I supposed I'll have to recheck swiki x_x

EDIT: Is magatsu phase 1 like luther, where you have to fight it 4 times to max your drop rates for phase 2?

[Aquanos]

so can a craft still come out all class if I use a Relax Equip. Conditions +10%?

[Sayara]

That just changes the requirement for using the weapon.
Like, if it originally wanted Dex 540 it can drop to like... 486

You can get all class/or multi-class at random with great successes (repeat the same craft level), or use a item that Adds class
Example クラス追加（ハンター）
Add Class (Hunter)

would give the weapon Hunter as an equippable class.

It's 4 runs max per account. It means that you can do 4 runs on 4 different characters or however you feel comfortable about it.

And attack interval just means you attack faster with the reduction in recoil of a normal bow.

[GHNeko]

Yeah I know about the 4 per ship thing.

Im asking if the drop rates for magatsu sai are variable depending on how many times you fight magatsu on a single character.

[LonelyGaruga]

It isn't.

[GHNeko]

Great thanks.

[Pirrip]

It's not under troubleshooting, but I've found it. Even after that, the tweaker has made PSO2 just a black screen with a loading mouse icon. After about two minutes of black screen, I ended the process, restarted the computer and tried again. After the same issue, I've come to the conclusion that it might just not work for me.

I appreciate the quick response and support though. :3

Pertaining to the black screen with loading mouse icon, it means the program is not responding. Something is wrong with your installation. Can you go into the folder where Tweaker is and copy your logfile for PSO2 Tweaker into a spoiler-box here or in a PM to me, please?

According to this website, a DEX mag is stronger than a Pure S-atk MAG can someone explain to me why that is, and also does DEX really give dmg or atk because this site says dex gives about 190 Dex x 0.95 = 180.5 Average ATK without the braver/bouncer mag skill : https://worldsojourner.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/pso2-is-a-dex-mag-worth-it/

[LonelyGaruga]

That's just for crafted weapons. Also it's not stronger, because 190 > 180.5. You have to use a crafted weapon, which isn't useful for a lot of classes, and for those that are, they usually specialize in critical hits, which make DEX irrelevant.

The DEX math is also a little outdated, as far as I know. Basically? Go pure ATK unless you play Bo/R or Br/Bo (not that that's recommended to do so). Only exceptions are to equip stuff, which are really rare exceptions lately.

As the guide says, dex is useless if you're using a 7* or higher weapon (which everyone should be at this point, excluding low levels), or if you're doing a critical strike based build. However, the guide is a bit outdated as high extend level weapons now have less base damage variance.

The "average atk" thing just means that your average damage is going to increase, not your maximum damage.

Did you even read the guide though...? It specifically says when a dex mag would be useful, not that it always is.

[Selphea]

That's my site and yes on high Dex targets with a lower Dex set (e.g. RaBr with Crafted Fahren Bow + Fahren Set + Braver Mag), a Dex mag can do better, although it's in specific situations. General rule of thumb is non-crit X/Br or X/Bo build using high ATK weapons like Bows or Dual Blades, since X tends to not have Br or Bo weapons with good latents readily available. Incidentally, neither Bow Br nor DB Bo have very compelling main class skills.

By "Average ATK", suppose the following:


You use a crafted Fahren Bow and you have the vanilla 474 Dex + 60 Dex Fahren Set Bonus, no other Dex sources.
You're shooting a Lv80 high dex boss like Diaboi which has 484 Dex


Your Average ATK on the bow with an RATK Mag would be 589-1115, or 852 Average ATK
Your Average ATK on the bow with a Dex Mag would be 969-1115, or 1042 Average ATK.

That's a difference of 190, but adjusted to 95% of 190 = 180.5 due to base 5% crit chance.

[Selphea]

the guide is a bit outdated as high extend level weapons now have less base damage variance.


The DEX math is also a little outdated

I wrote it in February, waaaay after the high extend buff. I even have a spreadsheet in there to show that even with the extend buff, a Dex Mag might still not be able to reach the cap on high Dex bosses o_o; I demand proof! :O

[LonelyGaruga]

Oh, I guess you have it up to date then. JP wikis had some incorrect information previously posted. Didn't really notice that the data on the blog post basically ensured that it was up to date, given that you've probably seen that stuff and took it into account.

Never mind then.

Another question. I have a fi/bo with a pure s-atk mag and i have 600 dex atm. would that be sufficient enough to account for variance or should i add more through affixes.Or what number would be a good number for normal variance?

Hello, I just came back to this game to play with some friends expect this time around Im having 2 fairly big issues, one is sound being extremely jagged and the second issue which is MUCH MUCH more game breakng for me, whenever I do quests in parties with other people I get lag that literally puts my 5 to 10 minutes behind my party, they will have already downed the boss and here I am not even at it yet. I dont understand what could be causing this second issue. Im playing with my brother most of the time and we have the exact same computer expect I have a newer hard drive and we are also using the same internet. anyone have any idea what I can do

can anyone help me?

The bigger question would be why you don't want to make a crit build in the first place, but 600 is high enough that a Dex Mag wouldn't be worth raising if you have an SATK Mag to begin with.

For zanverse, if multiple hits in rapid succession from one player hit a target, zanverse adds its bonus damage per hit together, and deals it at once after a period of time?

[nathanielzor]

For zanverse, if multiple hits in rapid succession from one player hit a target, zanverse adds its bonus damage per hit together, and deals it at once after a period of time?
Pretty sure it just deals the damage on a hit by hit basis. If theres a ton of hits in succession and stuff you won't see all the numbers though. From what I can recall I remember seeing consecutive hits by players when I use it. It doesn't explode after a set amount of time or anything like banishing arrow if thats what you're asking.

[Perfect Chaos]

No, Maninbluejumpsuit was correct in saying that, as it sort of does "explode" in a way, actually. There are actually "ticks" of sorts (for lack of a better word right now) for Zanverse, each 1 second long. It adds up all damage done within its field every second, and deals 20% (times any applicable multipliers) of all the damage in the last second, for each second that it's out. This helps the server take much less load in a large MPA, and also prevents ridiculously high Mirage proc rates.

This could be for a variety of reasons, however, including your own speakers, but the usual cases are lag on you end and/or something wrong with the connection of your speakers in the back (or speakers themselves). I'll assume the sound coming from your speakers are normal elsewhere?

Having a new hard drive has nothing to do with your CPU / GPU performance unless your HDD is full. Your HDD is used for memory storage and most new computers come with at least 1TB of space on an HDD. Are you using a proxy? Try playing the game without one, if that's the case.

Souls that increase the affix rate of stat effects, do they boost a specific level of the stat effect affix? To how much % before extra slot penalties?

Most soul pretty much give a 20% affix booster pre extra slot nerf. For Stat affix, it's lv3 transfer. And lv3 and lv4 fusion IIRC (too lazy to double check if true, been a while). Ult soul boost stigma, and anga vinculum, by 20% also iirc.


I'm planning on making new units for my ranger and I was wonder if I should go Tian or Saiki.

9* Tian give 90 Ratk + 10 pp as set bonus, base unit are crap, so ideal crafting target. 10* Tian base unit are somewhat ok, but are all about hp.

Saiki require farming, faster with organized triggers MPA. Much more tankier in base form, but the PP crafted version is best PP pre affix'ing.

If you are buying from PSO2es, you'll be paying ~10.86USD plus whatever taxes will the added to your total; this is the total that will be reflected on your account. I pay 9% tax for the purchase through PSO2es, so on my last charge of 5000AC I paid 5450JPY which showed up on my bank statement as 45.46USD.

Well, even if your brother can access the game, computers can be finnicky at times, and with you already running the game below recommended specs, that doesn't really help your situation unfortunately. :c

If your OS is Windows 7 (edit: just saw your post above and see that it is), try turning off Aero and go to Windows 7 Basic.

To do this, go to Start > Control Panel. In the Search Box, type "personalization" and click on it when it appears in the Window. Under Basic and High Contrast Themes, click Windows 7 Basic or one of the High Contrast themes. Then, try to boot up the game and play it again to check for any issues while you play.

Hope that helps~ ^^

Techer has the better mob-killing capabilities. On the other hand, the only ultimate difficulty quest features monsters that are weak to ice, and the Force class has ice on it's skill tree.

Depends on the stage/mission that you do.

Megatsu Phase 1, Techer with a strong Zanverse is probabely more useful then a Fo.
But for Mining base defense, Fo with it's long range might be more useful for Mining 2 and 3, while 1, Techer's mobing skill might prove more useful.

thank you for the help, i decided to continue leveling as techer.

[Rakurai]

Techer makes bosses get wrecked a lot faster, but in terms of actual damage output, FO is better.

There's also the fact that having multiple FOs around isn't an issue, whereas having more then one Techer is redundant due to their Zanverse and buffs not stacking.

[Selphea]

They'll both need to be 75/75 and you should have a bunch of skill resets in your bank anyway.

Techer is less gear/crafting-dependent though. It's alright to go something like Techer/Fighter then transition to Force/Techer later on. You have the skill points to invest in Wand melee and Techer main skills without major loss to Tech damage by doing Fo/Te with the same Techer tree. And when you're ready to optimize, just use your reset pass.

As Te/Fi, just have rainbow wands and you're more or less good. But don't do Techer/Force, read the Techer Guide (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=226714) for how to build one.

Stat buff on mag was barelly relevant at all due to it's extremly short duration, and they can't cast deband toughness iirc.

You keep everything until the end of the quest, if you retry the quest, bail out/returning to lobby, everything you get from challenge quest will automatically gone for good (except it's CM payment).

You can use stuff you don't need for trading on interval area, or you can just drop it so the others can pick it up and use it if they need/want it.

It's varied on how your MPA fare against the challenge.
You can get like 15K+ per run if you reach and clear mission 10.
But being worst, you get paid sub 1k because entire group suck so much.

So it'll be around 20 hours to 1,5 week assuming that you running challenge quest regulary.

[K.O. Kazjivo]

Depends how you play and how your party is. Good party can get 10-13k in 90 minutes. Normal randoms party gets 0.5-5k in the same time. If you go with randoms on average, and get 1.5k in an hour (mission 5), it would take 120 hours to get one weapon. If you play two a day for two hours, that is two months you're looking at.

Good party is 2-3 days with no life powers.

[LonelyGaruga]

Is force or techer the better end game class?

Force is. Force is one of the most versatile classes in the game, with multiple boss killing options and excellent mobbing abilities for every element. Its range, damage output, and variety of options basically guarantee that you'll always be able to perform extremely well in any quest, provided you have the skill trees and equipment to suit the elements you're using.

Techer, on the other hand, is basically a melee class that can use techs, surprisingly well but not even close to a Force most of the time. Te/Br, in some cases, is even stronger than Fo/Te or even Fo/Br, but only for its elements. Overall, fire is the most versatile tech element, and Force does fire best, so yeah. As a tech user, Techer mainly uses techs just for bosses. For mobbing, it's basically an instant death radius everywhere around Zondeel range (unless the mobs can't be Zondeel'd), but not much further than that. Force, on the other hand, can devastate enemies regardless of their position on the map, something Techer's just not as good at. Techer does have extremely useful buffs like a max powered Zanverse or Shifta Strike, but you only need one Techer player to get that stuff done, while you can practically never have too many Force players in an MPA.

All that being said, Techer's a pretty solid class, just not as good as Force.

For instance, if I'm in the middle of a PA and it brings my gear up to the next level will the rest of the PA get increased damage? If I get hit mid PA will the damage decrease? Or does it only apply at the start of the PA?

Damage is calculated on the moment of impact and not when the attack was executed, in your example you would get a damage increase in the middle of a PA, or lose damage if you get hit.

Usually on MPA there's one designated VR picker, if there's aint any you can just ignore the rules but just make sure that you don't waste VR charge by picking it too soon.
If you still don't understand after reading what i said, simply just don't pick it at all and let the other do it for you instead.

If the MPA has a VR manager, no one else should pick up unless told to.

You could end up picking something as they do, and waste potential VR.

You could end up grabbing a VR cap that would cause them to stay behind the group waiting for guage decay to grab VR longer than they should have by messing with their 'pick up plan'.

And so on.

Just don't do it unless you're the manager/told/literally seconds away from gauge going empty.

The first Arks quest in the Desert Tunnels has a better than average chance for rappies. I found them for all of my characters there usually first or second try.

Really? I need to try that myself sometime.


yea i got this http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4265821261

It's definitely not your Internet causing the problem.


this is what has me so confused, my brother an I both play on the same internet. He has virtually no lag. As for me everything runs smooth looks smooth etc. but I get stuck in the past without even realizing it, the only way I can even tell that this lag is happening is when Im playing with my brother and he tells me that hes long past the boss im just arriving at.

As for the sound, is that normal now as well?

I'm going to propose sone ways to rule out what this may be:

First, try playing the game without your brother using his laptop at the same time to see if it runs with minimal (to no) lag in an EQ. If it does still lag, then it's an issue with your computer. You mentioned earlier that your laptop doesn't meet the recommended specs to play the game, but it could also be possible that, if it isn't a tethered connection to the Internet, you may be experiencing lag due to the wireless usage.

If it doesn't lag, try playing again in an EQ with your brother and see how it goes. If it still continues to lag, go the next step.

Play an EQ in the game without your brother running in the same MPA and see how it goes. If it still lags after that, after the EQ is finished, go ahead and exit from the game and boot up PSO2 Tweaker.

Go into the Orb Menu > Troubleshooting > Open Diagnostic Menu and get the following data to me in multiple pastebins from there:
- System Specs
- PSO2 Install Info
- Files in pso2_bin

Thanks in advance~

can anyone tell me waht mag/photon blasts are good for a te/hu? im getting mixed results when looking around so im not sure

some say cetus proi others say julius nifta and im not sure how to get either because from what i see both are listed as having more tech atk than other stats

Just use a photon blast device from the Excube shop.

Cetus Proi is more of a general purpose photon blast, while Julius Nifta is nice if you have high T-ATK and want to be be able to clear out a mob of enemies in a hurry.

Te/Hu should get Julius Nifta. When you have a level 100+ mag, look in the EX cube shop for PBデバイス／ユリウスN, and use it on your mag to change its PB to Julius Nifta.

How does that work exactly i can change my blast with the item?

ok earlier today I did an EQ while my brother was sleeping, and I had some lag but it wasnt alot. Also Im not sure if I was behind in time like I normally was since I had no way to ask someone where the group was currently at. I didnt get removed from the quest before I got to the end like I had done while playing with my brother before.

Which stage in the wyverns XQ is the best place to farm for a Southern Cross?

[Anduril]

How does that work exactly i can change my blast with the item?
Let's say you want to change your PB to Julius Nifta: you take 8 Excubes and buy PB Device / Julius N (ＰＢデバイス／ユリウスＮ) from the Excube Shop, then on your Mag go to Use Device and select it.

Does it matter what type the mag is already?

[Anduril]

Does it matter what type the mag is already?
Nope, but mind that the power of your PB (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/mag_2.php#nav) is dependent on your ATK stat, so Julius Nifta will have more power with more T-ATK.

[EspeonageTieler]

Nope.

Cool thanks

Glad to hear it! Try it with more EQs like Banther and Darker Den next and see if you still experience any lag. It is normal to sometimes see players skip a few steps because of minor lag, but being 'minutes' behind is certainly not normal.


heres the paste bins

k I'll tackle these one at a time to prevent confusion:

Everything here is fine.

PSO2 Directory: C:\Pso2\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2\pso2_bin

Make sure PSO2 Tweaker is closed and move the entirety of the PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA only after you read through this whole post, because there are other issues existing with your install at the moment that could be a culprit to this whole mess.

Size of PSO2 data/win32 folder: ~32GB

~28GB is the size for mine. There is something creating an unnecessary ~4GB of extra space being used within the Pso2 folder you had (remove that Pso2 folder after moving PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 to the SEGA folder as mentioned above, btw, from the C:\ drive).


http://pastebin.com/1vY1FZ83

Now, I'm gonna base the following from my end where PSO2 runs both optimally and at the highest settings with no issues whatsoever on my computer. This is what a normal list of your files in pso2_bin should resemble:


Listing of pso2_bin files: boost.txt | cudart32_30_9.dll | edition.txt | GameGuard.des: 393848 | gameversion.ver | lua_license.txt | pso2.exe: 24453688 | pso2download.exe | pso2history.txt | PSO2JP.ini | pso2launcher.exe | pso2launcher.exe.bak | pso2launcherboot.txt | pso2predownload.exe | pso2updater.exe | stlport.txt | tolua _License.txt | translation.bin: 1342956 | translation.cfg | translator.dll: 69632 |

This is yours:


Listing of pso2_bin files: cudart32_30_9.dll | edition.txt | GameGuard.des: 393848 | gameversion.ver | pso2.exe: 24453688 | pso2download.exe | pso2download.exe.bak | PSO2JP.ini | pso2launcher.exe | pso2launcher.exe.bak | pso2predownload.exe | pso2predownload.exe.bak | pso2updater.exe | pso2updater.exe.bak | translation.bin: 1342956 | translator.dll: 69632 |

The text files don't matter, but you're likely missing them due to the location you've saved PSO2 in and that is causing other specific game files to most likely be separated from the pso2_bin. I actually won't be surprised if you have two pso2_bins and already have a SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 folder in your Program Files (x86)! ^^;

Missing from your list are the items bolded in my quote, and mentioned in the list below:
- boost.txt
- lua_license.txt
- pso2history.txt
- stlport.txt
- tolua _License.txt
- translation.cfg

These missing files will likely be fixed after you're done moving the PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 folder into the proper location, as mentioned above, run the file check in Tweaker, and then run the install for the English Patches. Make sure to search for the new location of the pso2_bin in PSO2 Tweaker to reflect the new location at C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2\pso2_bin before committing to the file check and installing the patches. The option to do so is at the very top of the Orb Menu.

Files you don't need and should be deleted to free up space and correct potential issues with EQ lag:
- pso2download.exe.bak
- pso2predownload.exe.bak
- pso2updater.exe.bak

The biggest offenders here are these backup files most likely. Single-click on them (or hover, if those are your selection settings in your Windows Explorer) to see how large each of these files mentioned here are in your Details Pane. Trust me when I say you may never want these on your computer...EVER. SEGA had a huge problem where people like yourself faced this issue since way back in September 2013, iirc.

Backups of the game files have sometimes caused the game client to randomly crash, infinite loading screens, the same type of lag you mentioned, and worse at times (it corrupted my game data once!).

Tweaker creates backups of your files by itself. There's really no need for them any longer through the JP launcher and there's a huge potentiality that one of the backup files listed here could also be part of the culprit in causing you to run into an issue while questing by causing lag.

Go ahead and fix these issues with the backup files that should be deleted above first, then move PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 to its normal location.

Then, run a test with your brother in the next EQ and see if everything is running smoothly afterwards.

Sorry for the long post all, but I hope that helps you, Trevor! Let me know the results~ ^^

ok so it seems that just the pso2 bin and the uninstall stuff were in a separate PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 folder, for some reason I had 2 of those. so the separation of the files may have been causing my issue?
I took those 4 files and added them to the other PHANTASYSTARTONLINE2 folder that had msot of the other stuff in it and deleted the old folder

[trevorwhatever]

k Let me know how it goes after testing!

ok now every time I go to install the english patches it tells me to select the directory, but its not working i guess? so it keeps telling me to do it every time even tho Im selecting the pso2_bin

Which old folder did you delete? You mean "Pso2"?

And, please make sure you mean that you moved the files to C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2. I'm not surprised you had two pso2_bin files given your situation, though.

I didnt have 2 pso2_bin files, I had 2 folders called PHANTASYSTARONLINE2.
the things I moved were the pso_bin and the 3 unis000 files.
once I put those in with all the other PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 folder things I moved the SEGA folder to the C:\Program Files (x86)

That folder is to contain various logs and screenshot related data. The game creates it on its own with a file check and once you boot it up and log in.

Good, that clarifies things much more as you were vague in your previous post regarding what you exactly moved over (files ≠ folders, remember that ^^;) and I thought all you meant by that was the three aforementioned backup files and the uninstall. It was just a minor confusion regarding wording, so no biggie.

Keep running the check and install the patches, then try the game again. Let me know how everything goes afterwards! xD

Log into the game first and configure your settings in-game. If the game doesn't work because it's too l33t for your laptop to handle, you can open up the original pso2launcher.exe in pso2_bin (cancel the download or check for files that it may automatically try to run), then go to select the third option from the top (second from the bottom). This should open up your Options menu. Configure the settings there to be the bare minimum, then save your settings and close the JP launcher.

Launch the game through PSO2 Tweaker again afterwards.

[Poyonche]

I am about to run a FO/FI, I have a Negro set in my storage, I don't know if I should add the PP Craft on all the 3, or at least 1 +100 HP and the 2 other +10PP ?

My dodge skill is pretty good.

Thanks. :3

[KazukiQZ]

^What I do: use PP Special Craft on all of them, and put HP related affix on the units.

Cheapest plan can be Ragne/Tech3/Stamina3. Effect will be 60 Tatk and 70HP.
Or if you have a rather deep pocket, go for Diabo/Tech3/Stamina3 (Effect will be 65 Tatk and 80HP)

You can opt for 4th affix, if you want. Personally, I would go with either Spirita3 for more PP, or Latan Fever because it's easier to transfer xD)

I'll ask this again since no one answered it when I asked the first time a few weeks ago-

How does the latent system on units work? Can anyone link a guide or something?

Latent system on units? You mean a unit has yellow outline like weapon unlocked potential? If that's what you mean then it's timed abilities craft http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/craft_6.php#timed

[K.O. Kazjivo]

Question: How much attack affixes should a lv. 75 have? On that note, how much attack should a lv. 75 braver have?

I just do not want to think I was okay, as in back at lv. 60 I had 1.3k attack.

You create "timed abiliy data" from your craft console (or whatever it's called), and then apply it to your unit.
It's only active for a limited time, after it's expire you will need to make a new one and use it again (or leave it as is).

If you mean a guide to make one/limited time ability in general:
[spoiler]Actually i have read your question back then, but i was too lazy but today i'll show you a few ropes
You may want to read bumped crafting mini guide (http://www.bumped.org/psublog/pso2-crafting-system-mini-guide/) to make yourself more familiar to crafting system.

It is highly recommended that you try and read few things on your own screen as you read this guide to prevent some minor confusions.

1st menu:
[Create Timed Ability]
Produce an usable item (or "timed ability data") that let you to insert an limited time ability (or latent for unit if you prefer to call it that).
In order to make it, you have to create and save a set recipe for it (read "Update Data Drive" below).
*) Making this item need 1 craft line, and will give a very small amount of wait time (cooldown) for each used panel.


2nd menu:
[Update Data Drive]
Before can actually create an item to insert limited-time ability to your unit, you have to create a "recipe" for it, you choose this menu.
Category will be break up to a few sections: rear / arm / leg, and each will be broken up to per planet basis.
Some of them are only works on certain quest mode (free exploration,advance quest, ARKS quest, etc), while there's some that works on any quest mode (keep in mind it's still limited to an planet).
---
On recipe selection menu, you can see recipe detail.
It contain Sub effects and the planet where it'll active.
If it's said "any of these" S/R/T ATK, that means you'll get one of those, you can't pick atk bonus so you may have to keep trying if you really want certain ATK bonus.

There's also "Probable Main Ability" (on different window) such as "Rare drop bonus", "Randomly Prevent Knockback" and such, grant you with even more unique ability. This will be broken to several level (Rare drop bonus 1, 2, etc.), available main ability changes every 13:00JST.

After you pick what unit parts, planet, and quest-type restriction you'll move to the next window that let you use various support items (it's similar to add weapon ability), which can add some additional effects and whatnot.

After prompt all your options, you will see the result, what kind of main/sub effect you get.
After that you can either save your result or discard it.
*) You need to save your recipe in order to make an timed ability data
*) You can only save 1 recipe per unit parts (rear/arm/leg, in total 3 recipes)
*) If you choose to discard it, it'll gone forever (a very long time)
*) After a recipe saved, you can produce it as many as you want with exact same effect at least until you decide to overwrite it.
*) If you're really lucky, your timed ability can receive a effect duration that will prolong it's active duration (it's 7 days by default).

After you choose to save it, you can create a real one from "Create Timed Ability" menu.
You will get item like "時限能力データ／リア", it's under consumeable item tab on your item pack.

Try to use (consume) it, and you'll get a prompt along with information regarding all of the effect your ability has. Confirm to apply it to your unit.
It'll register to the unit corespondent to recipe (rear data for rear units, etc) automatically.
Be warry that doing so will bind your unit ownership! You can't undo this--Accept it and it will became part of your fate.


3rd menu:
[Check Data Drive]
You can check all saved recipe you have (rear/arm/leg, you can't modify your recipe with this menu)

I just do not want to think I was okay, as in back at lv. 60 I had 1.3k attack.
Affix usually fly on 60~130 ATK, but you can make more if you have deeper wallet, 100 are good but 70 are acceptable.
130 are gangsta-tier, i don't really recommend you go that high unless you have a bank to burn.

As for stat ATK, kinda depends on your build, weapon, affix and mag.
2100 are "good enough" depends on what weapon you have, since there's *13 which has a pretty significant difference in terms of stat compared to the other weapon with lower rarity level.

Also for reminder that your damage output doesn't rely solely just on your ATK stat, there's ton of modifiers (mainly comes from class skills) and don't forget about your weapon latent ability.
Equipment set bonus will give you a small stat boost as well.

Around 60-130/unit or weapon base on your meseta. You'll have more than 2k attack

[LonelyGaruga]

Thanks for your help, as I am quite poor atm, I guess i'll go for Ragne/Tech3/Spirita3 and Latan Fever :3

Go full T-ATK and PP. At the very most, and only if you aren't confident in your dodging skills, use 1 HP crafted unit. Diabo Soul is also good, you could use that instead of the HP unit. But no more HP than that.

I got no idea what pic i have to gave as explanation since lots of stuff in there are pretty much self-explanatory.
Giving an pic filled with text that written on the guide are feels like losing it's point also.
That's why i said to try the stuff when reading the guide.

This (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/craft_6.php#info)should explain the logistics of the abilities and sub abilities to some degree, specifically the third main bullet point.

The craft I did in the video was a general Forest lv1, so it has the effect active on any Forest field, be it Free Exploration, ARKS Quest, the first areas of Nab TAs, Fang Banther EQ, Rainy EQ, or Forest AQ.
The probable main effect was listed as Rare Drop Boost, but I ended up getting Recovery Item boost; my sub effect was T-ATK +10 out of the possible range of +10 to +20 of any of the ATK stats, but since I didn't get a great success when creating the drive recipe or the consumable timed ability, there was no bonus effect, which for this craft would just be an additional +20 to an ATK stat.
Timed Ability drive creation is a lot like Tech Customization in that there is a lot of RNG involved in getting the effects you want.

300 is pretty bad, 100 and below is good, jp peeps got around < 10 o3o

Yes, that helps a bit, thank you. I thought you did it at Dudu/Monica's counter. I didn't realize it was a crafting thing. So, once you put an ability on a unit, it;s bound to you, right? Also, can you put different abilities on a unit once the first one runs out?

Half an hour kinda sucks ass, like that's enough for maybe one or two runs. I take it the levels I see (1-5) on other people's stuff has to do with crafting levels? Mine's like six or something, lol. I don't care enough about it to level it or get specific things; I never leveled tech crafting either, I had a friend do mine for me. I just wanted to put random stuff on there to see what it does.

It is bound, yes, and, yes, once it runs out you can put a new one on. The effect lasts 7 days normally, but a great success can boost it to 14. Any Timed Ability craft can have any of the main effects at random, though they are limited in the level of the effect, so you can just keep making them and trying them out since there are a bunch that are unlocked by default (I've only ever done Daily Crafts on Charlotte, yet you can see that I have the Lv3 versions of the general field recipes); the only limiting factor is that each new data drive you save overrides the last one you made for that unit type.

Hey all I'm coming back for the first time since the DDOS that led to the "ip block" (I know it's not technically one but I couldn't connect without a proxy so I gave up).

As far as good things happening are concerned, EP3 brought quite a few new exciting changes. Bouncers are pretty fun to use since you get to rain down hell and kick the meseta out of things. The Magatsu EQ is quite entertaining compared to Elder or Luther too since it requires more teamwork and is more epic (not to mention the absurd amount of Excube fodder).

An even more recent update would be Challenge Mode. I haven't tried it personally, but you get stripped of all your equipment and have to rely on skill to progress. Sounds fun and you can earn 13*s to boot!

Thanks for responding. I'm only level 13 so I don't think I have access to most of the changes. I logged in for about an hour and I'm really at a loss right now for what I should do. What should I be doing to level up? Where can I find more players to play with? I didn't see anyone during my time logging in except a few in the lobby. I heard that the old EN block (20 I think?) is dead now.

[Perfect Chaos]

how do I CHANGE subpalettes (not edit it, CHANGE it)?????Default PC settings has 7-9 on the number pad to change between the three sub-palettes in the active sub-palette book. (I personally swap it so that the numbers above the keyboard changes weapon palette and sub-palette, though.) To change to different sub-palette books, the fastest way would be to set chat shortcuts to say "/spal4" or something like that. #4 corresponds to book 2, palette 1, so once you're there, numbers 7-9 while switch among book 2 sub-palettes. Use "/spal7" (8 or 9 works, too) for book 3, etc. You have to pay AC for extra books, though.

Challenge Mode can be done regardless of level/gear if you're interested. EQs are a great place to start to meet both people and level up! B20 is dead (even during EQs) but there are still plenty of English players running across most of Ship2, so you can try your luck in the first few blocks or the shared PC/Vita blocks.

Other than that, Story mode has some really fun cutscenes and decent rewards as well, so you can try completing the matter boards.

I've bought WM from ARKSLayer quite a couple of times with no problems, so no worries about getting cheated. But yea, it's better to PM AIDA directly about that.

As a FO/FI (again me :3 ), should I use a rod with splendid recovery or a rod with a damage increase potent like Immediate Justice ?

[PokeminMaster]

As a Bo/Fo, would it be worthwile to re-spec my tree as Fire once Ultimate Lillipa is out? I currently have 20 points in Ice then 10 in both Fire and Lightning... not sure if switching over would be worth it or not; I could also just move the 10 points from Lightning over and specialize in both Fire/Ice... I don't use Lightning all that often

[milranduil]

What do you even do as BoFo....

[PokeminMaster]

What do you even do as BoFo....
Use Jet Boots in their natural state, using a combination of point-blank casting and Photon Arts... mostly Moment Gale

[Sandmind]

As a FO/FI (again me :3 ), should I use a rod with splendid recovery or a rod with a damage increase potent like Immediate Justice ?

My main usually roll around as an ice FOFI using the 5% JA latent 10* Talis that Falz Loser like to drop like candy. For PP recovery, use a gunslash, preferably with Atk PP restore latent, that's what I do. I was fine in the past with 140pp. Just make sure your mobbing tech of choice is PP efficient (in my case, gibarta).

Obligatory: not optimal for eitheir melee or tech'ing.

Now that this is out of the way, before we can help you, it would be nice if we could know your current build and playstyle.

(Note: I have nothing against BOFO, I'm just honestly curious on your playstyle and overall effectiveness.)

Edit:

Use Jet Boots in their natural state, using a combination of point-blank casting and Photon Arts... mostly Moment Gale

If you're not concentrating on mostly casting, you could be better off with a FI sub, which would massively boost the PA side and still be decent at tech damage. BO aren't exactly short on way to regen PP anyways. That is what I rolled when I was playing that style.

I'm aware that it's not the most effective thing, but I honestly started to set up this build well before Episode 3 was actually released... I raised a Fo/Te for the sole purpose of switching over to Bouncer when it came out.

For equipment, I use Zieg's T-ATK set, all at +10 and 90 T-ATK on each. I also have the Ideal Walker+20 with +100 T-ATK.

I'm aware that this isn't the most effective build, but it isn't weak by any means... As for how I play, I use a combination of casting a Photon Arts, generally based on what exactly the situation calls for. I primarily use Rafoie, Gibarta, Gizonde, Sazan, Ilgrants, and Ilmegid (with a little bit of Ilbarta and Namegid for specific situations), as well as Moment Gale (and a little bit of Strike Gust and Vinto Gigue for single targets). To be honest, I know there are stronger builds out there, but I just like the overall style of being a point-blank caster... I'm a bit odd like that

I know I could switch to Fighter, but I really don't have the drive to level it up... I probably will at some point though, but for now it's just level 1

Yeah, I can fully understand not wanting to level up yet an another class. It was a real chore when I switched from generalist FOTE to pure spec FOFI as a freemium. Not gonna argue with you, I know I myself subbed FI with BO since it was already lv70 and optimized to be subbed for both FO and (melee) TE.

-Tried the Proxy
- Made sure the game is 100% up to date.

1. What isuses are you having with gameguard? If you're using the tweaker Gamegaurd should pretty much crash 100% of the time.

2. See if she can connect to pso2.jp and let me know she can't. If she can't it's likely that she will need to use a VPN or Proxy and you might've done the proxy wrong.

Yeah Gameguard usually crashes with the Tweaker on hers. I guess it's not effecting anything because the game still opens lol. I just dont have that happen on mine so I didnt know.

I'll check the site and see if she can connect when I can. I use the proxy at my own house so I'm not sure I could have set it up wrong, but I'll double check. Thanks for the help

You should test connecting to pso2.jp without a proxy as well because most people no longer need to use the proxy since SEGAs routing issues were mostly fixed. But yeah Tweaker basically force crashes Gameguard so don't worry about that.

[LonelyGaruga]

Damage increase. Splendid Recovery is basically TAs and that's it.


I'm aware that this isn't the most effective build, but it isn't weak by any means...

Bo/Fo is weak because Force gives you literally no boosts to striking damage, which is what jet boots rely on. You could be doing well over 50% more damage just by subclassing Fighter instead of Force, and you would have better tech damage in every element you don't have maxed mastery skills in whichever Force tree you'd be currently using. Quite frankly, Bo/Fi is by and far the superior class for your own stated playstyle than Bo/Fo is, so you'd be doing yourself a favor in the long run by leveling Fighter.

You should test connecting to pso2.jp without a proxy as well because most people no longer need to use the proxy since SEGAs routing issues were mostly fixed. But yeah Tweaker basically force crashes Gameguard so don't worry about that.

She can connect to pso2.jp just fine without a proxy

She won't need a proxy at all to play then. If the problem with the Unknown status is persisting, i'd do a check for missing files and etc. Try using the troubleshooting in the proxy to check for missing files is your best bet.

Checked for missing files etc, it did a lot of "fixing", still having the unknown ships issue D:

Craft Builders or Craft Makers? If I don't mind the cooldown should I just go Maker?

Craft Builders are useless with how easy it is to obtain Lilliparium. It's only sometimes useful if you are mass crafting simply to level up craft levels, but it would only benefit on the rare chance that it bumps the time down so that you can use one less Lilliparium. So overall, there's really no point in using Builders.
