Can you connect to pso2.jp (http://pso2.jp)? If you can, then you don't need a VPN or Proxy.

Not necessarily. 75% of the time I still can't connect to patch or game server, but have been able to connect to pso2.jp for months now.

O jesus i didnt think people were willing to shell out money for that, more than likely you will have to way till the revival scratch comes out or use them when you click 500 AC for the current scratch as it will prompt you to use a ticket or ac

Agreed with adios on this.

There have been numerous people that were able to access pso2.jp, but have problems connecting to PSO2 for some reason. The reasons vary from Game Guard to server connection issues that people had the past few weeks. But, as I said, it differs for everyone. Some people may even 'think' their connection is good until they get into an Emergency Quest with 11 other people and realize they're lagging terribad, too. Other times, you can just end up with random Error Code 630 messages in the lobby. It differs depending on your situation.

I'd say the best thing to do is to try playing the game without running a VPN or proxy first. If you have any problems with connecting to the game's servers after installation, please let us know or feel free to PM me and I can help you further as well~

when was this feature of disabling notifications for rare items below a certain treshold added? also , if I see correctly , it works with untekked items right? So if I dont see the notification I could even stop lotting a red mass altogether right?

Server's are up. Are you trying to login without a proxy? If so, try with one. Your ISP might be blocked or you're just having connection issues.

I believe it's killing a 1/50/100 of the specific boss.

Killing 1 = 5 Stones
Killing 50 = 10 stones
Killing 100 = 30 stones

Fast question, if someone can help me please !

What are these towers for? The description says that I have to mine a lot of samples, interacted with it but nothing happend. I'm trying to complete this quest 2rd time and nothing, nothing to collect.

What exactly do I have to do with these towers?

Press E alot while next to it while the light is flashing.

[Kurome]

did, then the light goes out and nothing happens.

[Sizustar]

did, then the light goes out and nothing happens.

If you try to activate it without the light, it'll reduce the charge, you only use it repeatedly/press e alot when the light is on, and fill the bar to complete mining on the required number of drills.

[red1228]

did, then the light goes out and nothing happens.

You should notice a progress bar on/above the small lil mining tower device. Pressing E fills it up slowly. Unless you have a macro script (rapid fire), you will not be able to fill the bar up in one go. You will have to wait for the tower/device to light up again before you start mashing the button.
Trying to fill it when the device is NOT lit will empty the gauge. It's like a mini-game of "Red Light, Green Light" or "Simon says".

[kabutozero]

where in hell are people leveling to 70 when no eq's are up right now ? I feel like there is no one doing content pre level 70 ...

Don't get it, so fill when light is on or off? Cuz u both talk in a different way. I don't know this game anyway xD

[Anduril]

When the drill is shining and making noise, repeatedly press E and the bar will fill up; when it isn't shining and making noise, don't press E, or else the bar will go down.

You have to be right next to it; if you are doing it right, you will see your character "typing."

Are you doing it on Normal or Hard? When doing unlocks, it's usually best to just do it on Normal so that the enemies are just hindrances rather than threats.

[Kurome]

nah its normal, I was with 2 npc's before but failed, went 2-3rd times alone and failed again cuz of mobs. So I have like 4 from the back and whenever I kill 2 or 3 mobs more appear and the interaction with object is interrupted. I know that it sounds crazy (it is btw) but idk I just can't do it right now ..

Then the best advice would be to position yourself so that the drill is between you and the mobs, and constantly be moving around when you are not interacting with the drill; take as many NPCs as you can and don't persoanlly attack any of the enemies so that your NPCs can aggro them.

[Kurome]

I can only take 3 npc's and they couldn't protect me even with (tested), when I take more npc's there are much more mobs like 10+. It looks like I need higher lv to kill it faster or just spend hours on it to be fully done but finally, I know how to operate these towers, anyway thanks for help.

The thing is, you can do the entire thing without attacking a single enemy since you don't need to S-Rank it to clear the CO.

EDIT: Ugg, video is still processing, but the short and the long of it is that as a Fi/Ra 22/13, I was able to finish the quest in less than 6 minutes without attacking a single enemy and only being hit once. There is a limit to the amount of enemies that will spawn, so as you run through the map, the number of enemies you encounter will go down as long as you don't kill any.

Hey I just got to 70 and unlocked XH, I've been doing EQ Oceanic Menace for a bit now, with boost, trying to get the "Lindcray", just wondering if it's really there or if it's super duper rare, or is it even the right place to farm it? Cirnopedia said so, but idk how accurate that is.

PS: why does XH mode loot suck so badly, can't get above a 7 star, I tried asking the damn global, but some guy told me "cause, fuck you", it didn't bother me, but i'm still wondering about it

It does indeed drop there but that eq has an exceedingly low drop rate on everything. However it alao drops in easter eq with a much higher rate. Good luck.

Wow really? Easter XH? do you know who drops it?

[LonelyGaruga]

Lindcray is an area drop. Every enemy present in those EQs can drop it. Most 12*s function on this principle in EQs.

[Anduril]

Wow really? Easter XH? do you know who drops it?
If it does drop there, it is most likely an area drop, so any enemy can drop it. The big thing, though, is that 12*s just have a relatively low drop rate in general. The best you can do is pray to the gods of the RNG to bless you with what you want.

[KatherineAlexandra]

Which Photon Blasts are considered to be the best for each of the three attack types (S,R,T)?

[Superia]

Ketos Proi

[KazukiQZ]

Julius Nifta is cool too, arguably top tier with Ketos Proi.

Julius Nifta scale off the Tatk, it creates a Zondeel-ish sphere and the creation point will be the target that you lock-on to (or the one you look to), sucking all enemies available around it, dealing damage while also stunning them.

[Kurome]

I'll have a lot of questions so.. anyway sorry about that. Might be annoying. I started to like fighter, especially daggers combo and thought that I'll make 2nd character but not sure what is his damage due to the new update? is he worth playing now cuz I like the playstyle of this class.

I received only this answer:


I'll let someone else tackle the majority of this, but using only daggers will result in "I do good single target damage, and suck elsewhere", so definitely use Double Saber or even Knuckles for mobs.

But what does it means? I'm new to game and I'm surprised that there are so many different classes and these with awsome combo attacks are meant to be weak. I just don't get it. Thought that in this game u can choose whatever weapon u want and just enjoy the game but from this answer I can assume that there are weapons actually useless.. How is it?

[Xaeris]

We have a variety of weapon types, and each of them has an assortment of attacks available. They're not all balanced though, and each weapon has pretty clear winners as far as effective moves go. What that person was trying to explain to you is that twin daggers' best attacks excel at dealing damage to a single target, but are poor at dealing damage across multiple targets. So, while you can use twin daggers against bosses, they'll be rather poor for clearing out hordes of smaller enemies compared to double sabers, which is basically the opposite: good at mobbing, kinda meh at killing bosses, relative to other options.

You're not really meant to use just one weapon type. I mean, you can: twin daggers has Bloody Sarabande as an okay solution to killing the hordes of smaller mobs, but your gameplay will go so much more smoothly if you build your character to take advantage of two or three weapons.

The point is to use on an auto word. That way when the a mission starts, I can use it like a spawn animation like the intro and even like Mega Man in a way.
Because of this, I need the command. I even made it into a Keyboard Shortcut.

That's for the female version, which is the drop down version. (Note: The capitalized S is necessary)

Only the rare version of Gigur drops them AFAIK, so if you're lucky to encounter shiny Gigur, he has a chance to drop them.

But if you're farming Saiki, you're better off farming coins for that trigger IMO. There's a casino boost on Sunday (JP time), and a black nyack boost on Wednesday, so your best bet to farm coins is during those times.

[Xaeris]

Normal Gigur can drop the units. The odds are just abysmal.

I have no idea how to play Black Nyack and I always seem to lose more Coins than I gain when I play the other games. If there's a trick to the games then I'm clearly missing it. I don't spend much time in the Casino for that reason. I have enough CC for 2 Triggers but, with my luck, I'll need a lot more than that.

As for the Trigger Party my current gear isn't that great so I'd end up just being carried by other players and I don't really like doing that :(

[Shadowth117]

Yeah, regular Giggle Gum Gum can drop his saiki crap. As everyone says though, the odds are abysmal. Despite that, I have won out against them once so I can certainly confirm it.

you don't actually need your best gear for a ggg run. remember, you're a 12/12 MPA trying to break all parts (some runs ban WB because ggg dies without parts breaking). as long as you bring your best dps (you actually do decent damage) and don't break the crystal instantly i think you'll be ok.

Think I'll maybe try and join one then even if I lack CCs for multiple Triggers. I do have a +10 ExLv9, Dark element Katana I can use and I'm sure I have a Lucky Rise 3 weapon somewhere I can use for the Crystal. Just need some luck. Would it be worth using a RDR boost ticket or a Triboost for it?

[Dephinix]

I got 3 pieces from normal GGG spam runs. Of those spam one was rare. If you get a good team set up, you can kill him in maybe 12 seconds full break with ease. Shironia Exploration
RDR timed abilities help imo. If you're doing Trigger runs, minds well use a RDR boost ticket at the least. You're spending 5k casino coins on it after all.

[emeraude]

with boosts stacked (250 RDR, 100% triboost, daily boost, tree boost, shironia timed abils, also it was rare boost week) i got 2 sets and a couple of extras so yeah, use whatever boost you can. saiki units will last you a long while, and the triggers are due to rotate out in june, so better use whatever boost you can when you can run trigger runs.

[Requiem Aeternam]

I'll give that a go then. Thanks everyone ^^

They're practically opposites. Saiki has the highest PP set bonus, Brisa has the highest HP set bonus. So with PP/HP craft respectively, you have the highest attainable PP/HP from units with those sets. In other words, Saiki is an offensive set, Brisa is a defensive set.

Since you play Force, stick with Saiki.

Like I said, I'll take either one, but when looking at this chart that I've made:

[spoiler-box]http://i62.tinypic.com/6oinn5.png[/spoiler-box]

It will give you 50 more HP, better R-Defense (for those annoying missiles), an increase in attacks and full elemental resistance increase. The PP difference is only 5, not much of a difference if you ask me.

[Requiem Aeternam]

Where do you get the Fire/Dark combination Technique? The wiki says it comes from a CO from Claris Claes like the Electric/Wind one but doesn't list a second CO.

[LonelyGaruga]

Like I said, I'll take either one, but when looking at this chart that I've made:

I guess I should have expected something like this.

1) I said crafted units. Those aren't crafted when they should be. HP craft Brisa has 380 HP and 5 PP. PP craft Brisa has 80 HP and 35 PP. HP craft Saiki has 300 HP and 25 PP. PP craft Saiki has 0 HP and 55 PP. The HP difference is 80, which is less than two Stamina III affixes. The PP difference is 20, which is equal to four Spirita IV affixes.
2) Comparing DEF and resistances doesn't help if you don't know how much of a difference they make. Instead of comparing the numbers, you should plug them into the damage formula for enemy attacks to compare them.
3) The resistance chart has multiple typos, which doesn't give the impression that you put much effort into this basic comparison to begin with.
4) Elemental resistances are almost meaningless. Only a tiny fraction of attacks even have an element to begin with, but they still get reduced by one of the three DEF stats, so DEF is substantially more important than elemental resistances. Additionally, elements are very unevenly distributed. Almost no enemies have wind or light element attacks, for example, so those resistances are virtually worthless.

You're assuming that everyone has the time and cash to craft 11* units. After doing Zieg's CO (which cost peanuts compared to crafting 3X 11* units), I had enough of crafting to last me a lifetime. Even crafting this by someone else would cost close to 20 000 000 when adding materials.

[Xaeris]

I'm not sure how you get 20m to contract someone else's crafting services. Could you break that figure down?

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

The new stat boosts cannot be used with the old ones, right?

[the_importer_]

I'm not sure how you get 20m to contract someone else's crafting services. Could you break that figure down?

doubt it would be the same person for every level, but crafting by someone who's already unlocked all 9 levels of an 11* unit would cost you per craft level as well as whatever extra fee you need to pay him. Mind you my math my be off on that part since I'm not that big into crafting.

[Xaeris]

You only need to extend units to level 3 to do the special crafts though. You can extend them further, but the crafts and 8 and 10 are identical, apart from the defensive numbers on the units. You could special craft all three units from scratch for...maybe a million, by my napkin math. I mean, if you don't want to, that's fine, I'm not here to tell you how to play your game, but if cost is what's prohibiting you, it's really dirt cheap honestly.

[Sizustar]

The new stat boosts cannot be used with the old ones, right?

Yes, as you only get one slot for the X-stat boost when puting affix, and they don't carrry over with new affix.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Thanks just checking. Sold off old power boosts already.

[nguuuquaaa]

From exlv1 ~> special exlv8 costs ~1mil fee, 1.1mil if requesting crafter(s), while materials can be easily obtained from Magatsu. If for some reasons you don't have enough materials then add in another ~1mil for 8 gold-mat and some PA fragments. So that's ~2mil for an exlv8 piece of unit, which is the popular due to exlv10 costs ~1mil more and provides a tiny 13def.

[Sizustar]

Thanks just checking. Sold off old power boosts already.

No problem, it's the same with the protection item, although there are different type, you only get 1 slot to put 1 in.

There is no extra fee. All you have to do is buy the materials (don't even need to do that necessarily if you desynthesize the right items) and request the crafts and the person takes your money and materials and you get the craft. It's also actually preferable to do the same person just for communication purposes, but that part's not too important.

But you don't really need to go past level 3 outside of defensive purposes anyway. Only differences between 3, 8, and 10 are higher defenses. You can start at level 3 and work your way up as you save up money for it.

Only Lv3? I'm surprised SEGA's so generous, hence why I probably ignored unit crafting. Guess this is worth taking a look if I ever find that Rear unit.

Thank you

Actually, request for crafting takes 5% more meseta than crafting it yourself. And yeah, lv3 is plenty, lv8 is the most preferable, lv10 is overkilled.

I actually think you might have to do the lv3 special craft first for the lv8 to unlock because that is the regular lv8 R-DEF craft (20HP 2PP), not the special.

EDIT: Just verified on the JP wiki, you do need to do the lv3 special once to unlock the lv8, and the lv8 once to unlock the lv10.

[KazukiQZ]

@the_importer
You didn't use the right recipe. You used the normal R-def recipe, giving you 2 PP, and combined with Stigma (5PP), that's your 7pp coming from.

And as Anduril said, you must do at least one time the 'special craft lv3' before unlocking Special craft lv8 (same case for level 10, you need to do level 8 at least once).

For example: Special Craft PP level 3 unlocks Special Craft PP Level 8 ONLY. For Special HP Craft, you have to repeat the unlocking process.

And no, you're not close enough yet. You didn't do the Level 3 Special Craft (PP) yet, hence the 0/1 achievement.

Just go craft it on random cheap units, like on Hiei, because it has 3 parts, and you might wanna use the same Hiei unit to unlock Special Craft. Craft Hiei to extend Level 2, then use the respective Special Craft.
PPLv3->PPLv8->PPLv10.
HPLv3->HPLv8->HPLv10.

To put in simpler term, go craft Arm Ranged Defense (PP) Level 3 to unlock Level 8. Repeat process for other parts.

[Nyansan]

And how much would it cost to get to Specialized ExLv8 per unit type (arm, leg, rear) when staring from scratch (as in didn't unlock anything)?

Unlocking Ext6, 7 requires you to craft Ext5 10 times. IIRC when I attempted to unlock cost me roughly 3m for 1 part/unit type and spend quite a lot of lilipariums to get all 3 crafting lines to CD. (not counting crafting mats, which I had plenty of)

So yeah, unless you really want to unlock it for yourself or have meseta to waste I suggest just getting other people to craft Ex6 and 7, then special craft 8

[Anduril]

And how much would it cost to get to Specialized ExLv8 per unit type (arm, leg, rear) when staring from scratch (as in didn't unlock anything)?
Meseta cost for just the actual crafts themselves would be 1,497,000 meseta (1 unit costing 547K due to needing to use special recipe at lv3, and 2 costing 475K each). The total cost then varies based on your materiel costs.

One fast question: whats the best mag for Fi/Hu dagger&saber?

[KazukiQZ]

^Pure S-Atk mag. To raise S-atk, give your mag 9* satk weapon for best result (sword,partizan,wired lance, knuckles,twin dagger, double saber, katana, dual blade, and gunslash).
To reduce Dex, feed your mag 4* furniture item. If you check NPC Furniture Shop you can get it for 3k meseta each. Pretty costly, but rather effective, because it raise abit of S-atk and reduce Dex.

[Kurome]

thank u a lot :)

[Requiem Aeternam]

One fast question: whats the best mag for Fi/Hu dagger&saber?

To add to what KazukiQZ said you can also use Monomates to reduce the Dex if buying furniture is too expensive. Monomates raise S-Def as well as S-Atk but the 9* weapons you feed it reduce that. It's a slower method but it's much cheaper.

[Anduril]

Not really. Even with Break Bonus, you will be losing out on damage when attacking non-breakable parts. Especially as a hybrid (assuming DB/JB) Bo, Elemental Stance is going to be the superior stance in its consistency, though it can be more expensive gear-wise.

Like, he will still see all the enemies and all the players where he is, but in reality we are all far ahead of him. Is this just some really intense lag or can this be fixed easily?

my brother has had this problem for a while and after the last patch (or maybe the one before) it started happening to me and a friend we have not been able to find a fix yet :/

Kill lots of bosses. 10, 50, and 100 iirc.

[ArcaneTechs]

You can view the titles in the reward title counter, it tells you the amount needed and rewarded

Kill each boss 1,50,100 Times for 5,10,30 each at a total of 135 Stones I believe

So why does it tell me my 13 star was bound to me when I tried to grind it? They can't be traded or sold right?

Well, you can't anytime soon anyway, so...

It was just weird i guess. Never seen that msg before. I assume one of you that gets showered in 13 stars would know something. >.>

[TheszNuts]

So why does it tell me my 13 star was bound to me when I tried to grind it? They can't be traded or sold right?

They said when they first announced 13*s that they would be bound upon doing anything to it. Basically once you grind/affix/equip it you cant sell it after.

Must have missed that. I figured it ment I couldn't sell it but I wondered why just 13 stars and not the 12 stars. Guess that means they might stop uping the stars at some point then. Thank you both.

Just give it some couple of years when 13 stars become irrelevant. 13 stars aren't the end since 15 stars have been accidentally left in the game during the beta.

If I wanted to farm armor off Gigur, would it be best to just run straight to him & break all his parts for quick runs, or is it better to get S-Rank? Does S-rank effect drop rate?

Rank affects droprate, as well as broken parts.

[Eternal255]

Rank affects droprate, as well as broken parts.

Hmm... is it significant? If I were to be able to get 10 runs in 30 minutes with boosters as opposed to 2 s-rank runs in 30mins, which would be better?

Also, unrelated question- when crafting timed abilities, that does the FR & AR mean for specific zones? example: Forest, Forest FR, Forest AR (i know that says arks, so my guess is arks = arks quest and fr = free field?)

IMO that's the problem with trying to farm saiki without triggers. It tends to waste up boosters since you need to S rank, which guarantees max drops, and do part breaking raises your chances of getting the particular part you are looking for. And the chances of getting good drops are abysmally low even with s-rank, all parts broken, and 350% rdr boost. So even if you are able to get 10+ runs, it wouldn't even matter if it ain't max drops since every crystal broken would only be meseta rings.

If you really want to do it, I suggest getting a party to do the farming with you since more people generally means faster kills.

As for the timed abilities, yes the ones with ARKS are the arks quests while the FR are the free field ones.

I see. Well I have a few triggers but I was planning on waiting until they have a rare drop boost going on to add to it. As far as the triggers, do they guarantee max drop chance, or must one still acquire S-Rank prior to killing the trigger?

Triggers guarantee max drop even without S-rank. If you want a rare drop boost to improve your chances you can do the following:


Shironia timed ability with rare drop chance
Wait til after Magatsu for the 100% RDR clear bonus
Organize a trigger party with 11 other people who also have GGG triggers

That last one will be hard to do lol. I'm on ship 9 so its difficult trying to organize anything here.

But thanks for the info!

does anyone has any suggestion how to make universal units?

[Nyansan]

does anyone has any suggestion how to make universal units?

By universal units you mean jack-of-all-trades ones right? If so then Anga/Ability3/Modulator/Mutation would be your go-to setup. Take note though that for the price to affix those on your units, you can make separate sets for each attack type with even better stats than those on your 'universal' sets.

[Valen13]

Are Bo's blade throws affected by Gu's attack pp restore?

[Selphea]

Are Bo's blade throws affected by Gu's attack pp restore?

Nope.

Edit: Actually it might, just that the default throw amount is so low I never noticed :O!

Edit 2: It does o_O

That will be 10 ATK less, but it'll be WAAAAAAY cheaper to affix.

those new boost items

its only available from GW scratch?

i mean it would'nt appear again in the future?

[Remz69]

if memory serves me right, the normal atk boost started like that then 6 months or so later they became available in the regular scratches

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

It should show up again in the future...

Likely at the next special-occasion scratch (my guess is PSO2 anneversary would be the next time), then probably normal scratch at least another half year after that.

[Kurome]

Will there be any skill change in the nearest update?

[Anduril]

Will there be any skill change in the nearest update?
Most likely not; they just distributed free skill resets on the 22nd, so I don't imagine any changes for a while, possibly with a level cap increase (is that even on the roadmap?).

idk but eh, just wondering cuz making a character from the beginning would be too much for me. is there a reset skill point on max lv? (doubt) cuz obviously, I put 1 skill point into Chase Advance (fighter) which is likely to be useless and 1 to s-atk up ..

[Anduril]

No, the only other way to reset is to use AC. But hey, maybe they'll notice some thing they want to rebalance in a couple of months and give us passes.

[Kurome]

Well hope so :) Anyway it won't make a much difference in the damage.. cuz 903 s-atk on human male, so even if i'll put that last one to s-atk up it won't make a much difference i hope, and as for striking up, is it really that useless for a fighter using dagger& double saber? Wouldn't be any better choice anyway, maybe max out the Deadline Slayer, have no better idea.

The only stat up skill that is worth the SP is Technique High Up, the rest don't give enough for their cost, but it's not the end of the world if you ended up putting one there.

[Kurome]

Technique High Up? Sorry but don't understand.. which stat is it? Still stupid to these things lol

by Technique High Up u mean S-atk up (striking up) and R-atk up (shooting up) skills? Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a T-ATK boost on the Force Tree; for 5 SP it gives 120 T-ATK, as opposed to the other x-ATK Up skills that only give 50 (for Up 1) for 10 SP. I just mentioned it in regards to ATK boost per Skill Point cost efficiency.

[Kurome]

I see, well can't use force tree, I'm Fi/Hu on my other character, and still have problems with some skills anyway. And I have no idea of force nor techer xD

[Mildora]

Excuse me for asking a repeated question but whats the PP Special Ability Boost give?

Assuming you mean the item, it adds Spirita Boost (PP +5) at a 100% rate (unless up-slotting) when used as a support item in affixing.

It is a booster item, so it should be if you aren't upslotting.


I mean the ATK ones
The single stat ones give 25 x-ATK, while the new noble ones give 30 x-ATK and 3 PP.

How does Standing Snipe work exactly with certain PAs like One Point? If I use the PA while standing still but then start moving after a couple shots during the PA do I keep the Standing Snipe Bonus or do I have to stand still for the ENTIRE PA?

[Sacrificial]

SS will work at activation for the entire pa if the condition is met for one point, but if you move you will lose it for the next one pa.

From what I recall, it does hold for the entire PA, but then you have to stand still for another few seconds afterward for it to kick back in.

[KazukiQZ]

^Before, there was a trick to activate Standing Snipe faster, by putting at least 1 point into Moving Snipe, but SEGA hated convenient thing to an annoying-to-activate skill, so it got removed. :(

At least, the Moving Snipe should have been buffed to scale with 50% of Standing Snipe bonus. So for example, full point Standing Snipe (30%) will give Moving Snipe 15% at level 5/5.

[Anduril]

So, I've been playing with Bows regularly again (haven't really been touching them much since before EP3), and I was wondering, how many Chase Arrows can be queued up at a time and for how long?
Thanks in advance.

[LonelyGaruga]

Three. Dunno how long, think it's as long as you're in the area until you launch them.

[loool]

If I skip the Unit Special Extend Lv3 and extend it normal. Do I still get to unlock Special Extend at Lv10?

[KazukiQZ]

^Yes, if only you had done Special Extend lv3 once before (on other/same unit). If you never done it, you can't unlock the Level 8 one (and doing Level 8 unlocks Level 10 btw)

You only need to craft this one time to unlock them at later levels:

(Craft level20) -> 'unlock' Special Extend lv3 -> Special Extend Lv8 -> Special Extend Lv10

Sorry if I did not fully clear my question. I meant to make other people craft for me. Can I skip the Special Extend Lv3 and just craft it normal then get people to Special Extend Lv10? Will it work or do I need to make them craft Special Extend Lv3 -> Lv8 -> Lv10?

Yes, you should be able request any recipe even if you haven't unlocked it.
Just curious, though, if you are going to extend it to that point anyway, why not just do it yourself?

[loool]

Yes, you don't need to ask for special lv3.


Daily Crafts are your friend. :D

Time. It should takes several months if you rely on Daily Crafts alone :wacko: If not, then it should costs you at least 5mil to unlock lv6 and lv7 on unit crafting, not counting those be used to achieve lv20 in craft :wacko:

is standing snipe working in the air? Or it is moving snipe, cuz I actually have both and I'm not sure, I usually jump into the air and shoot (it's easier when I have obscales for example or when I'm hiding behind something so that ranged attacks won't touch me (it helps me when there are many shooting/ranged enemies). Or most of the time where there are many enemies (and if its possible) I'm shooting from the rooftop and usually move avoiding attacks.

wasn't that Craftsman Seal (from Zieg) o-o

So, Zieg related items.

I don't know who Zieg is. The only person I talked to was the lady at the Daily Counter.

[final_attack]

Um ..... Shop Area, Quna stage area ...... when facing giant monitor, a bit on the right.

Black Cast. It got shops, the currency is the item. One of the shops that sells Lambda Grinder o-o

[Requiem Aeternam]

If you're doing an XQ solo and you die, what happens? Do you get to continue the quest or do you fail automatically?

Also, for the drops listed at the bottom of this page (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/quest_extreme_3.php#drop) (and the ones for the other XQ stages), can any enemy drop them or is it only the enemies that drop them originally?

[KazukiQZ]

^If you have halfdoll, you can continue but no more 'continue' after that, unless you spend on Scapedoll which is advised against. If don't have halfdoll, then it's game over.

Bottom as in the unit drop or the whole drop chart? For 7-9*, iirc, mobs can drop them while the 11*, only boss can. 10* is both mobs and boss.
Also, XQ has different drop, that only those listed can drop. For example, Falz Hunar in XQ can never drop Elder Pain nor Yasha.

I figured as much. Suppose I could try the first 5 stages and see how it goes.

For the drops I was mostly looking at the 10* weapons. Even if they are outdated I would still like to get a Yasminkov9000M and Demolition Comet for nostalgia purposes and both drop in XQs according to that list.

[Kurome]

Kazuki QZ do u know something about this:

And other question: Is it possible to buy a costume for support partner?

[KazukiQZ]

^If in the air, its almost always Moving Snipe that got counted, with some exceptional PA that can make you stop mid air, which can activate Standing Snipe. So, to proc Standing Snipe, it's better on the ground, and not moving for 2-3 seconds. Somebody, correct me if I'm wrong tho.

Costumes for Support Partner? Yes you can. You bring the outfit in your inventory, go to Salon counter, select Support partner Salon, equip outfit from there. I don't remember if this is doable from My Room though. It's been a while since I saw them xD

@Greedy Chibi
Then, any enemies can drop them in their specific stage set.
