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

Cool, thanks :-D I'll try those stages next time. Still not holding my hopes up though.

[Anduril]

I don't know what a Lambda Grinder is, but thank you. I guess I'll see what I can buy with my ticket later.

I recently noticed that some E-Codes will give the Craftsman Seals as rewards, so it's likely that's where it showed up from.

[BIG OLAF]

So how are you supposed to get them without that? I tried talking to him (I can't buy anything with just one ticket, of course), and it won't let me take any of his COs.

[Eternal255]

If maining bow, is rapid shot worth maxing out?

You need to be on an Ep3 matterboard for him to give you the COS and you get the seals from completing them.


If maining bow, is rapid shot worth maxing out?
Rapid Shoot is mostly for recovering PP and activating the +500 R-ATK from Rapid Shoot Up for PAs, so I would say if you can put the points to better use somewhere else in the tree, 3SP into it is enough.

Thanks. One more thing, does attack advance effect bows as well?

[Anduril]

Thanks. One more thing, does attack advance effect bows as well?
Yes it does, in fact that entry on the JP wiki encourages it if you main bow. It effects any attack from any weapon that isn't a "special attack" ie. PAs, Techs, SRoll Arts, Snatch Step, etc. (if I'm reading it correctly)

Whats the cheapest way to 5 slot something with the highest % of working? Also, what affixes should I go for on a katana. I normaly just 3 slot things but I figure ill try harder with a 13 star. Was thinking Power3/Quartz soul/Stam3/Spirita3/x?

[Kurome]

^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

Well, I'm not able to change the outfit myself, and it looks like I can't change the outfit for my sup partner as well, how I'm suppose to bring an outfit for my character - buy on auction house?

[Anduril]

Yes, the only place to buy the non-default outfits is the player shops. When searching, make sure you only search for 7* or higher since people try to sell starter outfits for ridiculous prices. Once you have a new outfit, you can change it from the Armor option, and for your Support Partner, you can change it in the salon. You can check out the available outfits here (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%82%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%81%E3%83%A5%E3% 83%BC%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BB%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%83%84 )or here (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/costumes_1.php#nav).

You should make up your mind of your target affixes before anyone can tell you the cheapest way to do it, but most of the time, going through extra slot penalties from 4-5 on the final affix is the cheapest way to go about it.

[Miles064]

Im not sure what I want. Mod cant be cheap and the boosts are several mils each. Most likely Mod if I can help it as the last one though.

[Anduril]

I don't remember exactly, but I think I got one while running the Easter EQ; I just remember seeing it pop up on the "Completed" reward band.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Mod 4s weapons are at least 1mil per, and you need 3 for 80% before penalties.

Most use vinculum. 10 less atk, easier to affix, less space occupied for other fodders.

[nathanielzor]

If you want to be extremely cheap, you can do UltSoul/AttackIV/Modulator for 100 ATK. If you want go a little more you can do UltSoul/AttackIV/Modulator/FlictArma for 120 attack, if you want to go 5slot UltSoul/AttackIII/Modulator/Flict/Boost is 140 ATK. None of them are too extremely expensive. But what's your budget first? And are you going S-ATK, R-ATK, or T-ATK?

Its for a slave katana. I got 3 mil atm.

I'd say save up until you can get a decent affix. Of course make sure that the Katana is +40 before you even think about spending some money on an affix. Also keep in mind that while your Slave Katana is in the 15-30 element range it's going to be out-damaged by most 50 element 11*s.

I agree, and yes, that right there is why I say the ult stone shop is a ripoff. Shoulda've come with at least 30 ele so it's worth using over an 11 for all of the effort you put into doing ult.

I do hope you have a good boulay arl.

+300? atk above 50% pp

[LonelyGaruga]

+300 to all ATK stats when PP is at/above 50%.

[BIG OLAF]

You need to be on an Ep3 matterboard for him to give you the COS and you get the seals from completing them.

That's...unfortunate. I despise the story in PSO2. I guess I have to suck it up, then.

[Xaeris]

You can skip to Episode 3 matterboards, since Sega figured people might not want to slog through Episode 1 and 2. Just open up the menu with your available matter boards, and 3-1 should be there.

[red1228]

That's...unfortunate. I despise the story in PSO2. I guess I have to suck it up, then.

You're allowed to just skip straight up to Episode 3.

[BIG OLAF]

Well, I know, but if I'm going to do the story, I want to do it from beginning to end, and not just skip a bunch and go to the latest bit.

There's a story translation, right? If I'm going to do it, I might as well know what's going on.

[LonelyGaruga]

You don't need to touch the story or anything, simply setting the EP3 Matter Board is the flag to get NPCs like Zieg and Claris to hand out COs.

[Anduril]

Just make sure you switch back and forth only when you are in front of Zeig, or you might trigger a cutscene by walking around; like just switch to Matterboard 3-1 when standing in front of Zeig, then when you get the CO, switch back to whichever one you were on before. And yeah, there is a story patch, but you need to use the tweaker to get it since they don't put out a .rar version anymore.

Yes.
Last I checked: it covers all of Episode 1, like 99% of Episode 2 & they have begun on Episode 3.

Whats our guys think its the best photon blast?. Im currently using Helix Proi, but was wondering if I should swap it for another overall stronger per hit, or more supportive.

Ketos or nifta, preferably 1 mag with each because they are both useful for melee in general.

Ooh, I see. That's helpful.

Hopefully the COs aren't a huge pain in the ass. Everyone says the units in his shop are 'must-haves' or some such nonsense, so.

Don't do it! Zieg units are a huge ripoff unless you're doing some fancy Ra/Br build with crafted Faren Bow + Faren Set.

Basically you pay a Saiki-level Dudu fee just to grind and affix that junk, but the set bonus is worse than most legacy sets. Save yourself the meseta and craft yourself a Hiei set. It's not too late!

Zieg units (and weapons in case you've heard otherwise) are garbage actually, people just recommend them because they're easy to get. The COs I do are

1) Craft a striking weapon
2) Craft a ranged weapon
3) Craft a tech weapon
4) Craft a tech
5) Desynthesize an item

Very easy to do, 10K meseta each, and give 9 Craftsman's Seals (2 each except desynth, which is 1) with a weekly cooldown.

I have no idea anything you just said. I don't really "know things" about what's 'good' and what's not. I don't craft stuff, and I don't even know what a Hiei set is. No idea what a 'legacy set' is, either.

I've still got the 10* Primula set, so anything's an upgrade, really. I'll just be sad about losing all my PP that I have on that set, since I really don't affix things beyond two slots. I purchased the Primula units pre-affixed.

Those are the Zieg COs? That's not that bad, I guess.

Question about crafting:

It says on the wiki that you can obtain Equip Condition Swaps from the Casino Prize area. Are they usable on units as well? If I were to special craft Saiki units, I'd want get them to extend Lv 8 or Lv 10, with the equip condition for Forces/Techers.

Not to nitpick, but you forgot one: craft a timed ability, for a total of 11.

Legacy set - Unit sets released before Ep3

Hiei - Unit set that drops from Ep3 matterboard, ridiculously cheap to grind and affix and has a set bonus that blows the set bonus on most legacy sets out the water.

Crafting - GDI I think I need to make a crafting guide!

[BIG OLAF]

I wasn't aware 'older' items were nicknamed 'Legacy' items. When did that happen? Also, I don't see how a 7* unit set would be better than an 11* set. I think I'll just focus on getting tickets for Zieg's shop. I don't like feeling overwhelmed with things on a 'to-do list' of sorts in games anymore. I like to keep it simple, hence why I don't craft or bother affixing things to high-heaven, and why I also don't care to try Challenge Mode and get involved in that mess.

But thanks.

[LonelyGaruga]

I was just listing ones I do. Don't really bother with the timed ability one, but I probably should. Along with the others that actually require a modicum of effort but give much better rewards.

I'm not really eager to get around to the next 25+m grinding session...

I'm pretty sure they do work considering they have ones to switch the equip condition based on x-DEF.

[Magicks]

I was curious because there are weapons that are require X-DEF stat as well, such as the イーグルフリント. So I'm not sure if it applies to units.

Equipping a unit(s) gives you:
- S/R/T def, S/R/T/element resist
- Hidden bonus
- Set bonus
Crafting = overwriting unit/weapon's stats and hidden bonus with new, pre-determined ones, but not set bonus

So basically you should craft any unit that has bad stats/bonus since special lv8/lv10 gives 100HP or 10PP (which is better than most vanilla units assuming 10HP ~ 1PP) and XH-tier def per unit. You benefits more if those units have good set bonus. Hence the Hiei set that has the cheapest grinding/affixing cost in the entire game while having respectable set bonus.

Actually, what you need to do is create a Timed Ability, not update it, so if you have a lv1 recipe in your Data Drive, it should cost no more than tech customization :wacko:

[LonelyGaruga]

Oh, I see. I never did those so I didn't know. That's...really simple then. Thanks.

I only went Dex Mag because that was for a character that already had a Dex Mag as BoFi. As Fighter main, 70% crit isn't going to make a Dex mag do a lot. You can do 50-50 S/R or swap pure Mags with no issue.

[Xaeris]

Great Sun Deity becomes active whenever there's no weather effect in map where the weather can change. So, it'll work in Facillity's open area, but it won't work in the boss room. I'm not sure about XQs. I've heard it doesn't work on XQ1 because of the snow, but I couldn't say personally.

But wouldnt 50-50 S/R be less beneficial than just going pure dex if using braver mag?

[aryus]

i just see the page in cirno about unit craft, so for unit 1*-10* can only be crafted up to lv 8?
lv9 and 10 only available to 11* unit?

[Selphea]

Nah Cirno just has a formatting issue with that table because it's hand coded. All units can go to Ex10.

[Selphea]

But wouldnt 50-50 S/R be less beneficial than just going pure dex if using braver mag?

You save 5SP, but yes I wouldn't go that route if only because a 50-50 mag isn't very compatible with other builds.

[KazukiQZ]

^No. All unit can be crafted up to Level 10 max.

1) I've heard that it works on maps that have weather, and not just rooms. It works in Naberius II, for example, which will never undergo a weather change. So yes.
2) No. XQs don't have a concept of weather.
3) Yes.

Btw it works in TD, the boosted waves count as a weather effect. It doesn't work in DFE, DFL, or Magatsu's EQ, though, because they have no concept of weather.

[Kurome]

I have one question about 2 characters on one account sharing one room, is it normal that when I log on my fighter I see sup partner of my ranger ? Its rather weird cuz how I'll suppose to make a sup partner on lv 20 with my fighter? or it is one per account only o0

and other question (just to be sure) cuz in other mmos it was common:
is it possible that after upgrade the item will be destroyed when doing it above +5 for example, and do I have to buy something to prevent it? I'm asking cuz in many mmos there was a limit for upgrade and after reaching +5 and more it was a risk cuz item could disappear without special stones.

I'm asking cuz I have rifle and Launcher both +4

[KazukiQZ]

No, weapon and units will not disappear or break, it'll only go down its grinding levels if fail. If you're a little lucky, it'll just fail without any grind level down (Very lucky is of course when the grind succeed). You can retry to grind it again after that. +10 is the max grind level btw.

As for your boxed question, you go create the Support Partner character at the salon, not the partner console inside your room. If you just have 1 partner console, and it's already occupied, you can still interact with your current character's Support Partner from the 'MyRoom Console->Support Partner'.

[Kurome]

I see, too bad I'll not be able to see my sup partner cuz of that one dam console I already have and it takes 3x space for /5 -,- So the only items I have in my room is japanese paper lantern and tree on the balcony (lol)

Buy it off the player shops or import an Ep.3 deluxe package and use the item codes.

[Atlantis419]

Kinda curious, has anyone tried Lindcray as a casting weapon? How does it stack up against the elemental rods when it's potential is active? 25% sounds huge on paper but in practice idk.

[LonelyGaruga]

It's 8-11% stronger depending on the weapon, but the upkeep makes it not worth it. Sacrifice Bite is only really practical to use on things like a boss, and even then it's not a very good idea.

[GHNeko]

Anyone have frame data for Step/Dive Roll (60 frames per second standard please)

I have 3 spare SP and I want to decide for myself if an extra 0.11s invunerability on FI or RA tree is worth it.


EDIT: Figured it out. Thanks to Walkure's research.
Step has 8f invunerabiliy and Dive Roll has 9f. 0.11s equates to an extra 6.6f of invunerability if my math is right.

Rotation will happen on Tuesday, or whenever the typical PSO2 maintenance happens for your time. It works just like the Daily Orders where it rotates at X time/day.

Alright, maybe I messed up when trying to explain it. Look at the Team Order. "This order will be available until [Insert Time Here]" - It will rotate on the minute after that.

Hey there, me again. Was wondering, when customizing techniques with the craft is it possible to add multiple bonus to a tech? Like, for instance, could I upgrade the damage AND the blast radius on rafoie?

Evil Nochiuhau Vs Slave Rod

Fully grinded with their potentials maxed and ignoring all abilities, which one would come out on top when using your entire PP meter in one blow (bunch of Rafoie in a row)?

I know there's a 336 T-Attack difference, but considering that the Slave Rod's potential if gone after your PP drops under 50%, I wonder how much of a difference there it after that.

[LonelyGaruga]

The T-ATK difference alone makes Slave Sage superior even without the potential active. Then there's the fact that it caps at 60 element and not 50, making Element Conversion 5% stronger. Slave Sage is superior 100% of the time, potential or not.

The potential adds roughly 15% in practice in case you were wondering, so the total advantage Slave Sage has with everything in play is about 21% more damage.

"1.05" は、俗に謎倍率と呼ばれているもの。 PSO2 サービス開始時には存在しなかったが、サブクラス実装頃から確認された。
ごく一部の攻撃を除き、全てのダメージには最終的にこの 1.05 が掛けられる。 現在確認されている例外はゾンデの直撃ダメージのみ。
余談だが、敵の攻撃力と倍率を赤ダメージ (大きな文字で表示される最大被ダメージ) から逆算すると、1.05 で割ったほうが切れの良い数字になるため、敵の攻撃にも 1.05 が掛かっている可能性が高い。
"倍率まとめ" は 1.05, PA, 倍率系スキル, 倍率系潜在能力など、部位倍率以外の全ての倍率を掛けあわせたもの

Too many kanji that I cant read. Can anyone help me out here?

[the_importer_]

Too many kanji that I cant read. Can anyone help me out here?

From google translate:

" 1.05 " is what is commonly referred to as the mystery magnification . During PSO2 service start did not exist , it is confirmed from around subclass implementation .
Except for a small part of an attack , finally the 1.05 is multiplied to all the damage . Exceptions that are currently confirmed only direct hit damage of the sonde .
As an aside , if you calculated back attack force and the magnification of the enemy from the red damage (up to the damage that is displayed in large letters ) , for a good number is crisp more divided by 1.05 , hanging 1.05 it is also the enemy of attack there is a high possibility .
" Magnification together " is 1.05, PA, magnification system skills , such as magnification -based latent ability , which was combined over all magnification other than the region magnification

-Subclass update implemented a nearly universal 1.05 modifier to both player and enemy attacks.
-The only known exception is when Zonde makes direct contact with an enemy.
-If you know an enemy's power notation for its attacks, you can figure out how much ATK it has by adjusting the damage formula into a "find the variable" kind of math problem, with x being the enemy ATK.
-The 1.05 modifier is handled at the same step in the damage formula as all other multipliers, so they can be put together with no loss in accuracy for shorter steps.

There isn't anything more to it than that.


Question: How much damage is your friend partner supposed to do compared to what you usually do?

It's noteworthy to see them do any sort of meaningful damage. They do a fraction of what a player can do no matter what. They're just there to spawn more enemies and give an EXP bonus for being in your party, pretty much.

I have one question about sup partners and classes are there glitches in these classes for sup partners or some kind of limitations?

Support partners will use different skills based on their personality; for example, if you have a default personality Gu SP, the only PAs they will use are Aerial Shooting and Bullet Squall. Every so often after they return from their search, you will be given the option to change their personality. Here's a overview of the personalities (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/partner_3.php#personality) and the skills PAs they will use.

So there is just a generic 1.05x universal multiplier applied to all attacks???????????????


what the fuck is the purpose of this?

[LonelyGaruga]

Probably has something to do with the balance changes in stats caused by the subclass system.

I don't know man just roll with it!

[Kurome]

So Aerial Shooting and Bullet Squall pas will make my sup partner jump around?

[Anduril]

Honestly, most times I've seen a Gunner Friend or Support Partner NPC, they do the majority of their attacking while standing, but they do occasionally do Stylish Rolls and attack while jumping.

[Eternal255]

Can someone explain banish arrow and kamakaze for me please?

How does banish accumulate damage, what's the best way to use it?

What is the damage for kamakaze based off? I know it's considered striking damage but is it R-Atk?

[GHNeko]

Kamakaze uses striking multipliers iirc. But uses Ratk for the base stat value.

Banish when it hits something stays active for 10 seconds or until the target is hit. after it's hit, for 3 seconds it will record damage, and then redish out that damage during explosion.

Best way to use it as RABR iirc is to load up on 3 chase arrows, fire a banishing arrow, and then shoot a final nemesis to trigger the 3 second recording, and have chase arrow recorded as well.

You can fit in master shot too. Preferably before final nemesis.

[Kurome]

my sup partner is on 18lv never failed a quest (probably cuz of rare boots she have lol) and still disn't get the personality option, do I have to make a quest or something to unlock this option?

[GHNeko]

Personality will show up after their relationship with you levels to the 3rd level iirc.

In order for them to level up the relationship; you have to take them with you on actual quests.

[Kurome]

didn't know that it depends on relationship, thanks!

Thanks. And what's the difference between a charged and uncharged banish?

[LonelyGaruga]

Charging Banish Arrow gives it a damage bonus to the damage it copies.

[Z-0]

Doesn't apply to Banish Arrow, that only applies to Vol Graptor.

[LonelyGaruga]

Oh I thought it was Volg that doesn't get the damage bonus from charging, whoops. Never mind then.

[Xaeris]

So to answer the question, the difference between a charged Banish and an uncharged Banish is the range of the explosion.

[Shadowstarkirby]

I have quick questions regarding 'Fury Combo Boost' in Hu's skill tree.

It states that damage increases for each successive JA, 10% being the maximum. My questions are:

1. Is the damage bonus reset back to 0% upon missing a JA?

2. How many JAs must be performed to get maximum bonus?

3. Why is it that many builds I've encountered, only 5 SP is invested into the skill rather than 10 SP? Would you not be missing out on a solid extra 5% damage doing that?

EDIT: In addition, should I try to get S-ATK skills up as high as possible after the core skills of my class are finished? Would the extra potential say, 170 S-ATK from S-ATK UPs of two classes combined make a significant DPS improvement?

Thanks in advance.

[Xaeris]

1. Yup.
2. Depends how many points you have invested, which leads into question 3.
3. Fury Combo Boost's damage bonus caps at 10%, starting from even only a single SP invested. The difference that investing SP into it makes is how quickly the bonus grows with each successive Just Attack. If you only put one SP into it, it would take ten JAs to get to 10% since you'd only be getting 1% per JA. People typically only put five points into it since it would only take two JAs to cap the bonus for all following attacks, while leaving you with five SP to spend elsewhere.

[Selphea]

EDIT: In addition, should I try to get S-ATK skills up as high as possible after the core skills of my class are finished? Would the extra potential say, 170 S-ATK from S-ATK UPs of two classes combined make a significant DPS improvement?

It's base ATK, so it's affected by buffs. 170 with Shifta Drink EX and Shifta becomes 237, which can be 8% to 10% more damage depending on your ATK amount.

[Mesarthim]

Nevermind, guess it's easier to research when I had free time than to ask.

The Slave potential is +100/150/300 all attack when PP is over 50% I believe.

What are the best quests to level up my Support Partner?

[Anduril]

What are the best quests to level up my Support Partner?
Kressida's "Can You Do Me a Favor III" has a good EXP ratio for Support Partners; you can just keep sending the Support Partner out repeatedly without turning in the CO. I also tend to grab the x99 Cyclonehda Horn and Wolgahda Belly Fangs Daily COs since those seem to be an easy, steady stream of EXP for the Support Partner.

[Cure Shock]

Newb questions:

- I sadly discovered (after grinding the pot till lv. 2, duh) that Evil Riruyupuke makes High Time almost useless. So I guess it's only worth using it with a Ra/Gu build. Someone has already tried a similar combo? How it works?

- With a Te/Hu and Te/Br build (I'd like to try both), do I need to affix to increase S-Atk?

[LonelyGaruga]

- With a Te/Hu and Te/Br build (I'd like to try both), do I need to affix to increase S-Atk?

For Te/Hu, you generally want to be able to use wired lances and partisans as well as wands, so S-ATK is preferable. T-ATK is also good because Wand Gear is a striking attack, but runs off T-ATK, so your mobbing improves a bit with T-ATK.

For Te/Br, it has exceptional tech damage and good Wand Gear damage so T-ATK all the way. If you want to use the same equipment for both builds, you can try using stuff that boosts both S-ATK and T-ATK (Ringa Soul or Anga Soul, Ability III, Modulator or Vinculum, etc). For the mag, a minimum of 735 T-ATK at base value would be a good goal, after that you can dump it into either S-ATK or T-ATK depending on whether you prefer Te/Hu (S-ATK) or Te/Br (T-ATK).

[reaper527]

as a fo, what's the best way to deal with multiple people casting il barta in a multi party? should i just charge every cast of it in that case so that we don't accidentally waste the 7th shot on a shitty uncharged blast?

also, as a ra, where should i be putting my wb on ringa? my understanding is that putting it on his rings is pointless because if you break them both and knock him down, his weak point is exposed for such a short amount of time that nobody is going to be able to actually hit it before it closes again. there isn't any obvious point on his body that seems like a better solution though, as his upper body can be exceptionally difficult to hit in free aim (and good luck locking on something other than his weapons in regular view)

[silaz1]

So I'm relatively new and mainly interested in building out the way my character looks. I chose a cast. Currently, what would be the best way to purchase legs/arms/torse etc? Is there a level limit on these items?
I had originally planned to buy AC, and then buy something with that AC to be sold off in game so I could buy cast parts. Would that work?

Thanks!

[nguuuquaaa]

I'll say you should WB his 2 rings then exposed red core next since there are 4 bullets. Or WB his front legs/head :wacko:

No level limit, it's just what you can afford off the player shops. The newer parts tend to be cheaper, but a full set including arms, legs, torso and head can run you more than a million, and that really depends if your character is a Cast or Caseal. Buying AC and pulling from the current 200AC Golden Week Revival Scratch could be a good way to make meseta since it has some high priced items in it. Without having to spend real money, though, just make sure you run your Daily Orders and TAs and you should be able to afford some parts. And general tip, always make sure to search 7* and up parts in the Player Shops since people try to sell starter parts for ridiculous amounts when those are available for cheap in the NPC shop area.

[Dephinix]

also, as a ra, where should i be putting my wb on ringa?

If it's a big mpa and you have four bullets, you minds well shot both rings then his red core. Sometimes an MPA is strong enough to kill from just that little amount
of time. If it gets up again, head isn't a terrible option. Should be able to Sat Cannon or Banish combo with some ease.

[doomdragon83]

Shoot his rings to knock it down and expose the core. From here, tag the core if you have enough people to wail on it. if not, then WB his head, lock onto his body and satcan. The attack should hit the WB'd head and kill it.

[Anduril]

Just some musing about something I'm unsure if I'm remembering correctly, though is mostly inconsequential to me:

Zonde and Satellite Cannon: Damage comes from ground up or from sky down, and do they have a ceiling cap?

[LonelyGaruga]

Zonde comes from sky down. Dunno about Satellite Cannon, but I'm pretty sure that's the case for it as well. Dunno about a ceiling cap though.

[Anduril]

Zonde comes from sky down. Dunno about Satellite Cannon, but I'm pretty sure that's the case for it as well. Dunno about a ceiling cap though.
That's what I figured. I mostly ask because I vaguely remember reading some time ago that one or both of them actually came from the bottom up and caused problems with targeting things like Vol's horn or Varhda's various parts.

[Charmeleon]

Sat Cannon used to hit from bottom up, but it was changed quite a while ago. I think it was around Episode 3's release.

[Superia]

I know that Satellite Cannon used to come from the bottom up and currently comes from above. I do not know how Zonde used to work.

[Dephinix]

That's what I figured. I mostly ask because I vaguely remember reading some time ago that one or both of them actually came from the bottom up and caused problems with targeting things like Vol's horn or Varhda's various parts.

Sat Cannon was definitely fixed, Zonde seems to be from sky too, can't remember ever using it being ground up.

[LonelyGaruga]

Zonde was ground up ages ago, but was changed before I started playing, which was a little after the Dark Falz Elder update. I don't know exactly when it was changed though, but it was after Vardha.

Just to let you know, normal maintenance is Tuesdays at 7:00PM PDT/10:00PM EDT and lasts six hours. This past week, however, was Golden Week in Japan, so last week's maintenance was a day earlier and this week's was a day later.

Have other weapons been rendered useless now? is everyone going to be using the same 2-3 weapons? Were crafted weapons given some sort of boost to help compensate?

[KazukiQZ]

^Kinda, but grinding 13* is rather hard if you did not have the resources. It use different grinder than 12* and below (named Lambda Grinder), and each try at grinding it cost around 175k meseta.

And no, crafting weapons can open more possibilities but will not beat max powered 13* (maybe except FIBO DB stuff)

Yes, *13 has much more superior stat to every weapon with lower rarity, but the problem is getting it is real pain in the ass, and grinding it need lambda grinder which is not kind of easy to collect.

When was the last time オルトロスMk.2 went on AC scratch rotation/revival?

Collab are usually gone once it's out of the scratch rotation, unless they do another collab, then they might bring back some from it.

For that one, it might be back with the shining live stage scratch, i t might not

I see, well gonna wait and see if it gets revived then since the price for those shot up suddenly before I could get 'em. And no way am I spending 17m for a weap camo lol

[the_importer_]

^Kinda, but grinding 13* is rather hard if you did not have the resources. It use different grinder than 12* and below (named Lambda Grinder), and each try at grinding it cost around 175k meseta.

And no, crafting weapons can open more possibilities but will not beat max powered 13* (maybe except FIBO DB stuff)

I thought it cost 196 000

Anyway, I have a question regarding grinding attribute. How do the Attribute Change item work anyway, does it change your main weapon or the one you are using as material?

It change your final product.

So it'll be goes like this:
Main Weapon [Ice 40] + Fodder [Dark 39] + Fire ele change = Main Weapon [Fire 50]
*) Both fodder and element change will be consumed and forever lost, please be careful before doing so.

Hmm, does that mean that using an Attribute Change item with the same weapons that my attribute grinding will fall under the rule of "Same Name and Attribute", meaning that the attribute values will be added and not just add +10?

Example:

Vasetail Att: Fire 30 + Vasetail Att: Ice 20 + Attribute Change Light = Vasetail Light 50

[Perfect Chaos]

No. In that case, the result without the item would be 40 Fire, so all the item does would be to change the final result to Light instead of Fire, so it'll be 40 Light. Do the attribute grinding as if you normally would to get max element without the item, but apply the item (during the step where you can use it) to change the final result to have the element of your choice.
The game should tell you what the final results are when you do go through the procedure before you actually do it.

You can also get the +7 grind skip item, you can trade for it with AC item, that would reduce the number of Lambda Grinder.

Ya, with my luck in this game, I'll probably buy 4 of those and trade in like 240 Cubes to get 12 Grind +30% item cause 196 000 meseta per grind adds up fast when you fail.

13* Success rate is 50% if I remember.
But with the current golden week annivesary scratch, giving alot of voice ticket, it's posible to buy them cheap and trade them for +7 skip

So in that case, I've always wondered what's the best AC items to buy for exchange at the Recycle shop? Because most of the fashion items aren't THAT cheap. Buying AC items in bulk that are 300k+ can get a bit pricey.

sorry fashion items are pretty much the lowest next to bad accessories tickets.

got to look for items that have 7 stars AC on them and work in the recycle shop. in any case a new update is about to happen on the 13th and it should drop fashion price to 150k if you are fast enough.

also if you need a particular item from the recyle shop it could be found in the free market as well. 20% grind boost and 20% affixs boost can be found in the free market.

This is because you've probably sent a Good Job the the seller and he gave one one back from his character menu. BTW, do you have an Android phone, if so, download the free Google Translate app, this is what I use since I can take a picture of what's on the screen and the app will translate it (that's what I just did with your pic).

usually that could come from a player who has used your character when playing in free field or used your character on a mission.

other than that you get some fun points.

also some people after emergency quest from TDs will leave a thank you or a good job for some points.

not sure about the message though

What are some things to know about when running with multiple characters? I have 3 characters that I am planning on using for TACOs, but am curious if there are any other multi-character perks I should know about.

[red1228]

What are some things to know about when running with multiple characters? I have 3 characters that I am planning on using for TACOs, but am curious if there are any other multi-character perks I should know about.

Pros:
+More TACO money.
+More Klotho XQ money.
+More Skill Reset Passes (when Sega gives them out).
+More variety when designing / editing your character's appearance (you can't change your character's race or gender once they are made).

Cons:
-Puts a tighter squeeze on your already limited storage capacity (150 item slots really isn't enough in this game... Extra is locked behind real-money transactions).
-You have to level up each of those characters. This becomes even worse if you have multiple class ideas/builds in mind for EACH character.
-Getting decent gear isn't expensive in this game. But getting good gear can be. Now you gotta save up for good gear multiple times.
-While Lobby Actions are shared among all characters on a single account, Cosmetics & Accessories are NOT.

alternate option is make a super char aka they do absolutely everything but that requires some more ac for mags and trees and use the alts just for extra magatsu runs or more taco/faina money or something (oh and most importantly zieg orders for lambdas) and just letting them temporarily use your mains gear while playing as them

[Z-0]

Yeah, nobody gets separate gear for each character (unless one character plays FO, one character plays RA, etc...), so extra characters does not create a storage issue at all unless you're not playing multiple classes already.

Anyone who gets separate gears goes across ships anyway, where you get another 200 storage slots, so no big deal.

Yeah...No... I AM one of those "nobody" players. I have a melee user (Hunter, Fighter, Katana-Braver & DualBlade-Bouncer), a technique user (Force + whatever) & a gun user (Ranger + whatever). And no, I've been on Ship 02 my entire time in PSO2. Plus Elemental advantage is a thing in regards to Force, Techer, Weak-Stance-Braver & Bouncer (so you need multiples of the same weapons).

And unlike so many of the lucky bastards here, I have never had a 13* drop (couple of 12*, but either irrelevant to my playstyle or lack of 50% element) and I always get rubbish players in Challenge Mode (I'm talking empty VR before M6)... So I don't have one weapon to rule them all (and thus save inventory space).

Cool, I actually forgot about the XQ money. Thanks for the list as well!

I'm a premium user, w/OTP as well, so I have tons of storage. The gear situation could be annoying, as I'm sure I'm going to want multiple sets of armor with different affixes for each character.

I'll probably just relegate the alts to TACO/Meseta farming slaves and keep my main character as my main focus. I also upgraded his inventory to 100 and he has 3 pure mags for S/R/T-ATK and 3 support partners, so really don't want to spend that much AC again for my other alts.

I'm not arguing that point, but the original question was "Where can I find an up to date list of all the pso2es character chips?," so the fact that it is not up-to-date was my point. If I was someone who was just looking for the info, I wouldn't exactly be adding in chip info that I don't know, right?

I created a makeshift blue screen using the back side of the Sporty Locker (スポーティロッカー) since the pale blue is easy to detect as a single object when editing images, and it leaves relatively clean edges for a novice like me. Lighting in the MyRoom can be a bit of a pain, though.

The patch translates that latent as Immediate End. When you just attack, you have a chance to stun the target.

[red1228]

welp gg, that is completely useless skill. =.="

With the exception of bosses/mini-bosses (possibly Infected Ultimate enemies aswell), Stun will stop an enemy instantly (even mid attack). While it would wear off the instant you hit the enemy again, the fact that Stun will stop an enemy dead-cold is useful.

But again, I couldnt tell you if it works with JA'd Photon Arts. If it does, I would consider using it. If it doesn't, then only a Wand Techer could appreciate it.

It could very well be a moot skill in the eyes of players though, since all ANYONE cares about is Damage in this game (not without merit, the way the game is designed).

Sell fodder are the best way to make money off the shop pass these days, and reselling old accessory if you still have it on ticket form but people won't instantly grab it so it feels more like investment.
Runing XQ with meseta booster or triboost for 30 mins can also net you a bit more money, almost equal to your average DO payout.

[Z-0]

It's more like people use it to level over modulator farming, it's just that people pick up Modulator on the way.

I got 7 levels in the space of about 3 hours (60 → 67) using this boost, and got a few modulators while doing it.

[Kiyokaze]

i actually dislike boost day because the prices in the shops tend to lower a lot because all of a sudden everyone is doing it.. wish sega would do them less often tbh

Since there's more of an incentive to run AQs during boosts, not only can I buy the cheap ones up, but anything I find I can hold on to to sell after the prices reset a bit. It's not that bad...

I'm not only talking about being a market jew. I mean if you actually need them you can get them cheaper also.

Well, if you only care about selling them as fast as possible that day, then yeah boost day is terrible and ignore everything I said

It can drop from any mission, beside the daily quest thst gives upgrade chip and Rappy event.

The current special quest gives a 3s Soul receptor Rod, and a 3S soul receptor unit

However once he does his sword attack its alot harder to mirage him but you can still damage him.

Do I need to use vraolet + monkey king bar? or just monkey king bar?

Thank you all ^^

[KazukiQZ]

vraolet only affect rare weapon, while MKB affect both.

In Vraolet case, besides the chance of choosing the element you want on a weapon, it also give chance of higher affix slot on that weapon due to already having 1 slot via tekking (either Meseta Fever 1, EXP Boost 1, or Lucky Rise 1). If you, lets say, met Emergency Code: Clone, you can have chance of higher affix slot for Modulator fodder weapon (If 7* above). MKB then raise the chance even further.

If 6* and below, just apply the MKB effect. Same as unit.

[Dammy]

I had both vraolet and mkb combined with deband special abilities effect
result: 8 slots untekked anga soul :D
so yeah, use both

[Will_2_Power]
