Thanks for the replies! Figured that too after prying after fodder for awhile, going for Ability III instead of Vindicum as it's cost efficient and has a higher chance - may Dudu be gracious ;_;

I have quite a bit of units i need to affix for chars but guess I'll work on these first.

If you're going for a Force-centric 4 affix for units. what would be the ideal (cost effective) set up?

How about Guranz Sou/ Technique III/Stigma/Latan Fever

All is lost for me

I have a new laptop(win10) w/ new problems. I cant even install the updates w/out somethin goin wrong.

I use the torrent to download the files, cut off firewall and all, use tweaker to download the patches, cant run on the OS(it did the same damn thing on win8/8.1)

Ran the install w/out tweaker and gives me the 103-105 error, cant connect straight up.

Tried the VPNgate(slow and dc'ing from the update/download server and screws up everying)

Ran tweaker and it gave me a bin thread. :/

un and reinstall the game and went to troubleshooting check for old/missing files and/or check for empty files, no good. gave me the autofix quote and wont work on the OS.

I even tried the old and new methods on tweaker to check for updates for the pso2 when I straight up boot it, no dice.

I tried the JP site, but that suck. :/

Lastly, I even had the tweaker and PSO2 in different Folders, but in the same area (C:/ Phantasy star online 2& C:/ Tweaker)

Guys, I'm losing hope here and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm bored out of my mind and I have been workin on this for a week now. Also, I even kept the damn Firewall off (Mcafee).

Ladies and gentleman, I'm tired bros, and I cant take it anymore!!! Maybe its the new ass laptop, or the win10, or win 8, I dunno guys, I'm just tired and need some serious help!

[Gerli]

Try installing Net Frameworks again, maybe it wil fix that

[Dark Emerald EXE]

How about Guranz Sou/ Technique III/Stigma/Latan Fever

75 T-ATK and 10pp

Doesn't Stigma have a bad transfer rate?

[Spiral]

Doesn't Stigma have a bad transfer rate?

By memory, stigma can go to 50%, with guranz or any ult soul it would jump to 70%. With a 30% booster that would be used to push the soul from 80% 100% anyway (unless using a soul receptor) stigma would also be 100%.

....but finding stigma together with ult souls or good stat affixes might be difficult or more expensive. So there's the problem of needing to make fodder and possibly 2-step affixing.

Oddly enough I was wondering (prior to posting question) to do spirita III instead of stigma but if it's not bad to do it suppose i can do it this way

[Perfect Chaos]

Hmmmm seeing that the last two Compound techniques involved UQ I wonder if this is a hint next UQ will be soon.....From the video that showed it off, it looks like you have to kill 30 enemies from each of the two current Ultimate Quests (I'm assuming with Techniques as well like the other two).
They are breaking the pattern of introducing new Techs/PA at each Ultimate Quest introduction, but I'm not complaining, since I don't want to have to wait another 3 months to get the last compound tech.

[Espri]

Last compound tech.
I doubt this'll be the last honestly. Probably gonna start doing triple element techs after this.

[Mildora]

does Attribute Enhance +5% boost 5% or 6%?

[Anduril]

does Attribute Enhance +5% boost 5% or 6%?
It's +5% on top of what you are already getting from the attribute grinding, so if you are doing a non-matching weapon (like say, using the Live series Rod to grind a Psycho Wand), then yes, your total will be +6%.

[gabor100]

Do you (still) need color change pass for Cast parts recolor? Is there a way to load parts from inventory when you create a character?

[Spiral]

Do you (still) need color change pass for Cast parts recolor? Is there a way to load parts from inventory when you create a character?

As far as am aware, yes a color change pass is necessary for Cast color change (all colors) and no there isn't a way to load parts/costumes from inventory during character creation or support partner creation. You will be restricted to the default options.

[the_importer_]

Will I be disappointed with Xie's ★13 Rod?

Reason I'm asking is that when we were finally able to get ★12 weapon, I immediately got a couple of Gravilios to give me one at 50 Light Attribute. I then grinded it to 40 and gave it the same abilities as my other weapons. To my disappointed, it was barely more powerful than my EXLv11 Divine Amaterasu and far less powerful than my other EXLv11 ★10 weapons with the attribute that matches the element boosting damage (Satellite Riser with Bolt Att., Cuiplow with Fire Att., etc..).

I'm still keeping the Gravilios mainly because it looks cool, but still, I was expecting the T-ATK boost and Elemental Weakness boost to outperform all of my weapons. Should I even bother with Xie's ★13 Rod at 60 Attribute (meaning I get 2) or get the wand for my Techer instead?

Thanks

[KazukiQZ]

^Yes, you will. All the 11* elemental tech boost pot rods (including Bert Rodan, the weakest of them) outdamage Xie rod (60 ele).


The 2% difference makes quite a difference between your crafted Amaterasu and light ele Gravilios. But when you compare it to other element rod, it'll become 14.5% large difference.

I see. What about higher ★13 Rods like the Slave one? If we're lucky enough, 1 Yurlungurs could cost 500 coins. If so, using the Tickets that are worth 450 coins each could allow me to have on at 60 Attribute with enough meseta.

[Spiral]

Do race and gender still affect stats during challenge mode?

[SilenWhisper]

No.Every char has the same status.

Hmm.... My rough calculation is this:

(5000 as base damage + Rod's base T-Atk[+10])* Element Conversion value. After that, it's either (* potential percentage) or (+potential damage). Use the same formula and add another x1.2 for Talis Tech, in case want to calculate talis damage.

Take Yozakura for example; (5000+1344) x1.3 x1.03 = 8494.616

8447 Slave (pot off)
8494 Yozakura
8747 Slave (pot on)
8804 Bert Rodan
8857 Evil Rod
8863 Weddle Park
8866 Gravilios
8869 Nepto
8884 Caduceus
8888 -Max Level crafted Rod with the 16% specific tech type boost-
8917 Nyaurod
8947 Ares (non PB)
9284 Ares (full PB)

So, from this, Slave is just better than Yozakura, while been weaker than the rest of the rods, even with pot activated.


Note: This is just a simple calculation though. If someone see that I'm wrong, do correct me xD

edit: Look below vvvv

[LonelyGaruga]

Tech damage formula goes like this.

(T-ATK - enemy T-DEF) / 5 * multipliers

So in this case, let's just say 1500 base T-ATK as an example (Shifta [Drink] and affixes count here too), and only using Element Conversion and potential as multipliers, and ignoring enemy T-DEF (which averages 315 at level 80).

Bert Rodan: 745
Weddle Park: 757
Nepto Rod: 758
Caduceus: 761
宵白鳳 (Yozakura): 761
Evil Staff Nochiuha: 765
Nyau Rod: 768
Gravilios: 775
Slave Sage (no potential): 779
Ares Rod (minimum PB): 824
Ares Rod (max PB): 855
Slave Sage (yes potential): 857

More base T-ATK = more bias toward potential multipliers, but tech formula doesn't really allow for much difference there. Even 3K T-ATK isn't going to make Slave worse than an element boosting rod.

[KazukiQZ]

^
Wow. So, you're saying Slave Rod outdamage even Ares Rod when the pot's activated? xD


Side question: I remember you mentioning a tech user guide thread of some sort. Could be a good time to set-up one now? :)

[the_importer_]

Thanks for the info guys, but ya, LonelyGaruga's findings are closer to my results with the Caduceus (well Divine Amaterasu, but same power once crafted) and Gravilios.

That being said, all of these are probably based on the same Element Attribute. Taking a crafted weapon (1130 T-ATK) at ExLv11 like Cuiplow with 50 Fire and grinded to 40, how would it fair against Slave Sage with 60 Light and grinded to 40 on an enemy who's weak to Fire? What I mean is that is the damage difference worth the trouble of getting 3 more Slave Sages to get it to 60 Attributes?

[Perfect Chaos]

^
Wow. So, you're saying Slave Rod outdamage even Ares Rod when the pot's activated? xDYes. From my calculations, the T-ATK threshold where Ares becomes more powerful than Slave (with both of their max potentials active) would be 1872 T-ATK (before counting the weapon's base attack but counting its affixes), or 3365 T-ATK with Ares equipped (this threshold is using 315 for the enemy's DEF).
I don't know where you got the formula you used for your calculations, but throw that out the window, since it's horribly wrong! XD

There's really no point in calculating off-element usage when it comes to comparing max possible damage.
Max damage for a max crafted element-boosting Rod (with element matching) would out-damage off-element Slave Sage by roughly 2.5%. Again, Element Conversion makes such a big difference that you pretty much ALWAYS have to match element.

So basically, if I want to have a significant damage variance from my current set of weapons, I would need 6 Slave Sage or Ares Rod with different elements at 60 on each of them :(

Yes. From my calculations, the T-ATK threshold where Ares becomes more powerful than Slave (with both of their max potentials active) would be 1872 T-ATK (before counting the weapon's base attack but counting its affixes), or 3365 T-ATK with Ares equipped (this threshold is using 315 for the enemy's DEF).
I don't know where you got the formula you used for your calculations, but throw that out the window, since it's horribly wrong! XD

There's really no point in calculating off-element usage when it comes to comparing max possible damage.
Max damage for a max crafted element-boosting Rod (with element matching) would out-damage off-element Slave Sage by roughly 2.5%. Again, Element Conversion makes such a big difference that you pretty much ALWAYS have to match element.
I did throw it away. See edited post xD

[Alma]

about that slave rod...
which element should i choose that work optimally for slave rod and its potential?

[jesusyandere5]

Is there a site or thread which lists the final potential damage multipliers from each class' skills?
If so, please share~

Are Twin Daggers bad? The damage seems quite bad but it makes up with DPS.

With Twin Daggers: You defy gravity, multi-hits with basic attack, jesus tracking with Raging Waltz and Symphonic Drive, and decent AOE + invicibility with Facet Folia.

Sure it's terrible on mobbing, but I really like the playstyle of Twin Daggers. Really awesome to use on bosses like Dark Ragne, Fang Banther, and Gal Gryphon while aerial raving in the air.

Also, is the Xie armor and the 13 star weapons worth getting?

I have quite a bit of units i need to affix for chars but guess I'll work on these first.

If you're going for a Force-centric 4 affix for units. what would be the ideal (cost effective) set up?

Cheap 3 slot could be easier.

Guranz Soul, Tech III, Latan Fever - 75 - T, 10 - DEX, 5 - 55

Ship 2 Prices:

Soul Receptor - 140k x3
Guranz - 21k x 3
Tech III - 21k x 15
Latan Fever - 42k x 3

Full set affix:
1) Apply Latan Fever w/ 3 Tech III to base.
2) Apple Guranz w/ 2 Tech III & Soul Receptor to base.

100% all around affix no risk for result and low prices.
Note: Can switch Guranz for Apprentice if you value damage more.

If you don't mind losing 5 T-ATK, Elder Soul is an even cheaper option, as you'll only need one unit with Technique III on it for 100% success with a 30% booster.

Ctrl+Click on top item you want to store ..... Shift+Click on bottom item you want to store, it'll select every single item on the list, between 2 items you've chosen. Or vice versa.

Add individual item to the list by doing Ctrl+Click.

Then usual Click -> Store (equipped items won't be sent to storage though)

Having trouble with tweaker. I tried to change some of the PSO2 options from tweaker like the shader and such and it would always give me an error when I would try to save the settings. The error: "
Couldn't find Width3D in user settings. This is OKAY. If you notice your resolution not changing, try resetting your PSO2 Settings to default. If everything works, feel free to ignore this error.
Couldn't find Height3D in user settings. This is OKAY. If you notice your resolution not changing, try resetting your PSO2 Settings to default. If everything works, feel free to ignore this error.
ERROR - The system cannot find the file specified Done!"

After giving me that error, a popup would appear telling me about how 2 tabs would open and I needed to take the link from one and post it in the thread. Well instead of 2 different tabs opening, it would just 2 of the pastebin links lol. And now any time I try to change the settings and save them it doesnt even open the pastebin link anymore. Also any time I try to play PSO2 now, the screen resolution is stuck on 320x200. I try to change the settings but it just stays on 320x200

Getting hit a lot will build your PB gauge faster, also killing trash mobs all alone will also speed your PB gauge growth make sure to use your strongest AoE attack while doing this.

You can only have one of your character selected as usable friend partner, dude.
And i don't think your equipment matters that much to make the friend partner version of yourself more durable, as in SEGA decide to buff friend partner in near future to make them slightly stronger.

The amount of money you can gain are depending on how fast you can access klotho CO, and clear DO, maybe around 1 month and then your progress will be faster as you leveled up.

[gaijin_punch]

I assume for a 13-star grind, the easiest/cheapest/least stressful thing to do would be a to use a skip to +7, then use helpers for the next 3. For AC items, it seems the cheapest are around 225k. Does that seem right? Anything cheaper?

[KazukiQZ]

^Actually, cheapest way would be grinding from scratch. You just need the right amount of Lambda Grinder (150-180 should do).
Using 30% Grind Booster (and G. Risk Protect [+3] for eased risk) when it's +5 above is very good too, since it'll increase the grind-rate from 50% to 80% (and it will be 90% in the upcoming grind boost week). Average cost of 10-12m (not counting affix)

Using Grind Skip is for those that have limited amount of L. Grinder but has alot of meseta to use. The 30% Booster + Protect(+2) at +7 is recommended (or if you don't want to wait anymore, use 100% Grind Success). Average cost of 20-22m.

[Cyber Meteor]

Ok, i need to figure this out. Concerning Black Heart potentials or Slave's potentials, does the atk bonus is applied to your weapon's atk thus getting affected by the elemental multiplier? or it's just like shifta and it doesn't get affected by elemental value? i really want to clarify this because according to the dmg calculator, some 12* with Black heart ends up being more powerful than Ares (Double saber or sword mostly thanks to pp slayer) if black heart is applied to weapons atk:-?

[Bellion]

Gal Gryphon weapons are great for 2 weapons, and mediocre for the rest. Most of the weapons have great PAs at different conflicting ranges and you'll have to sacrifice power of some of them in favor of the other(s).
You have to know the approximate distances for each potential to make use of them, and it is rather vague.

Edit: Okay 3 weapons are great, and 1 of them are Jetboots. You can still get out of what may be considered zero range with even vinto, though. You should barely cast any offensive techs at ranges past close as Bo/Hu or Bo/Fi anyway.

How do people keep up their advance risk up in AQ? It's suppose to reset back to 0 after 1 week, so does it mean that people start from scratch every time, or is there another trick to it?

[milranduil]

You pay for it again, once a week.

You mean pay more capsules? If tried that before, it was only valid for 1 quest and went to advance risk +1 after I completed the one I paid to have at +10.

I have no idea what you even just said...

Example: July 15th 7pm, I pay 50 capsules to give me 50 risk in VH FC AQ. I keep that 50 risk for just VH FC AQ until July 22nd 7pm when my risk resets to 0 meaning I need to pay another 50 capsules to get 50 risk for VH FC AQ for the following week.

They're title rewards for clearing Extra Hard difficulty missions. Since XH missions are here to stay, I would imagine you have as long as you want to clear 1-30 Extra Hard missions.

They're never mention the title acquirement become impossible after the event ends, so probably it'll still be obtainable even after the anniversary event ending.
You only need to clear any XH quest (1,10,30 times) to obtain the title, and is not limited to only limited-time quest, according to the title description.

15 atk is roughly less than 0,5% dmg
going from elder to guranz (5 atk/dex difference) and tech III to IV (5 atk difference) on all of your unit set mean an increase of 30 atk
(roughly 1% dmg)

I'm playing Wind force mostly too, and as of now, the most useful rod that isn't 13* for Wind is Stark Katze which boost wind tech dmg by 16%, a 10* rod no need to even craft it because it has 1060 atk at +10. You could use the Evil 12* rod but with just 100 more atk, it's not gonna be a huge difference. The only real upgrades for Wind build compared to Stark Katze as of now are Ares Rod or Slave Sage (considering the low PP consumption of wind tech, the Slave potential will be useful). Xie's rod do exact same dmg than Evil rod, and just a little more than Stark, so it's not worth it

As of the release of Episode 3, they have a 1 week (minus 2 hours) cooldown, but their payout has been increased, he now has XQ COs, and you can also make decent amounts of meseta from doing Daily Missions from Faina, like a 250K Bal Rodos lv53+ kill order that comes around every few days.

I don't see why it would be? English is very bad in the first sentence, and I was tempted to disregard it by the way.
My Saika Daggers were stronger than my Nirens both at potential 1, so I would believe element does not affect it. I'm not sure what you did in Damage Calc to get to that conclusion, I would advise posting your results and maybe we can find out what went south.

[Kichi]

Black heart and other latents that say, for example, +300 S-ATK, are additive AFTER element. So, for example, Ten'imusou, with 50 element and latent 3, and just Vol Soul would have an equation like so:
(844 * 1.5) + 400 + 30 = 1696

The Ares Edge at 60 element, latent 3 and full PB guage, and just Vol Soul, would be
(1061 * 1.6) + 30 = 1726
1726 then gets added to Character + armor stats, then enemy defense stats applied, then multiplied by 1.1 because of latent

[Cyber Meteor]

@Kichi Ok thanks, so i should put the atk latent bonus in either "affix" or "bare-handed ATP" then


I'm not sure what you did in Damage Calc to get to that conclusion, I would advise posting your results and maybe we can find out what went south.

Nvm i figured it out, i was applying PP slayer bonus to weapon atk too since i wasn't sure where it was applied (thus the question about those latents) so i ended up with Lightning Espada at 1822 atk before element^^; and did the same for double saber

[final_attack]

Um .... some questions regarding Shifta ......

Recently, I decided to buy JetBoots with built-in PA (the one with Shifta for ShiftAction), and use it as GuRa (I only own Lv16 Shfita), just to maintain Shifta or probably Shifta the mpa too should needed.

My questions :

1) Should I got the buff from a Te-main or someone with Te-sub (lower level Shifta) ....... maximum duration is 3mins(?) ........ if I added mine (from JB), would the maximum duration still at 3mins (my tick only extends the buff duration by +15s per tick), or does it revert to 1min duration?

2) If I have higher level Shifta, and other people have lower level Shifta but they got ShiftaCritical and ShiftaStrike, would my Shifta overwrite theirs? Or my Shifta just extends the durations? :o

Thank you very much ^^

Is Sword Hunter a thing at all? I never really see people mention it at all. Is it viable?
Partisan replaced the sword spotlight for Hu.

[Dragonpie852]

I've been having an issue with pso2 for quite along time were sometimes my game crashes and I have to restart my computer otherwise anytime I go to the area or w/e I was when my game crashes it crashes again. Is there any solution to this besides just restarting my computer each time or am I just stuck with this forever? I even wiped my computer once for different reasons and it still happens.

[Memo]

Does anybody know what are the names of the new Posters/Room Mats/Cake Shop furniture coming from the pso2 Arks Cafe collaboration?

So I never crafted units before, how is Brisa units crafted in comparison to Saiki? what would I be losing/keeping if I went to craft the units?

You loose the individual piece bonuses (40 HP / 5 PP, per piece) but gain either 100 HP or 10 PP (per piece). Set Bonuses stay, crafted or not. Of the two (Saiki vs. Brisa), Saiki has more PP & Brisa has more HP.

I should mention that the 100 hp or 10 pp (per piece) is only for special crafts Lv3, 8 or 10.

Can I up the defense past the default +10 on Brisa (295 S def) and the same with Saiki (320 S Def).

I remember S/R/T have different routes so S def would be the HP route and R def is the PP route?

At Lv8 special craft, all units will have 323 strike & 295 for tech & range. At Lv10, I believe it was 350 strike & 320 for tech & range. To my knowledge, choosing which "defense route" only changes which Individual bonus you get & what stat type is required to equip it (S/R/T defense), which can be changed with the Requirement Change items from the casino anyway.

And yes: Strike Defense is the +100 HP. Range Defense is the PP+10. Tech Defense is the lame +4% all-Element resist, which no one uses.

is that requirement change thing the 30% boost thing? mind filling me out some more with that part? appreciate the help, if theres a guide feel free to point me to it, im trying to decide on units right now and comparing prices to things

At extend lv 10 on unts, the stats are 336S/308R/308T. To get the special recipes, you just need to get to Lv.20 Equipment Craft, and it will unlock the lv.3 versions (level 8 versions unlocked by crafting the lv.3 version once, and doing the same with the lv.8 unlocks the lv.10), and you can switch over to whatever craft type at the appropriate level, so you could do ex.1 R-Def > ex.2 T-Def > ex3. S-Def, etc. (if I'm remembering correctly)

The requirement change item red is mentioning literally just changes the required stat for equipment, so if a craft says it will be a t-def equip, you can change it to a dex equip (or any other stat) with the appropriate item.

[red1228]

Well there's that too, but that is a different item. The 30% boost thing you may be thinking of is the "Relax Requirement" item. Which reduces the number on the unit/weapon's required stat, to equip (so for example, if you crafted a sword that normally needs 600 Strike Attack to equip, with the Relax Requirement -30%, it's requirement would become 420 Strike Attack to equip).

The items I'm talking about are from the casino, here http://puu.sh/j2f2Q.png

You can use both when crafting your gear. So going back to the sword example: You can change it from requiring Strike Attack to Dexterity to equip, instead.

A few queries...

Does anything aside from "skilled trainer" affect affix quality/quantity of drops?
Is there a thread for "my room" screenshots?
What is the general picture posting format on this forum? (And recommended image hosting site, if necessary?)

As usual, thank you in advance.

[Rakurai]

One of the random effects from a non-premium Deband drink increases the frequency of items having affixes, and it does stack with Skilled Trainer from my experience.

I really wish they'd let you choose to have that effect instead of the rare drop increase on premium drinks if desired.

Yo did the heaven punisher gun drop on this game(or a variation of it?). If so I would love to see some footage of it in action. Loved that gun on pso version2 and pso episodes 1&2. Oh yeah, the spreed needle, egg blasters, and the snow queen too.

Is there anyway to lower down the in-game brightness? I deleted my old SEGA document folder which was causing pso2.exe to crash, re-launch the game and it was recreated, but the brightness is very high for the game now.
You can probably mess with the shaders to change it, like light source and bloom effects.

[xBM]

Can you only have 2 characters per account?
Also, if I login into another ship (still the same account) and create a character there, it will count towards the character limit per account correct?

I want my second character on a different ship but on the same account.

[KazukiQZ]

^Example:
ID name: xBM

You go create a character on Ship1 named 'xBM1'. After that, you create another on Ship2 named 'xBM2'. After that, you wanna create another on Ship3, but you can't without paying AC.

Also, storage is ship bound, so xBM1 and xBM2 can never share item. Iirc, only FUN points are shared.

[xBM]

Thank you KazukiQZ!

I also have another question.

Is it possible to transfer "Ultimate Buster" to another weapon?

[ChaosAngel92]

I have another question, this time regarding the Arkz Cash buying metho trough PSO2ep.
I'd already know that Google Play Cards (as well Google Play credit) is not an option. I was wondering if anyone has managed to purchase via Paypal, since I've heard other pre-paid debit cards are not working.

After the current LQ is over on Aug. 5, more than likely not. The shop exchange always stays longer so people have time to use up any trade items they have; for example, Arkuma is still in the lobby even though you can no longer collect stars.

Good to know. I think I'll have enough time to get 600 so I can get the element of my 13 star maxed, but that's likely it. Will have to decide what 12 star to buy, and what 13 star to take.

[gaijin_punch]

Next question:

I've never used Elysion/Boots of Serapy. Assuming I've got their respective matching skills maxed, what is the damage differential per hit between those, and a similar strength rod where I'm chargin? I know you get way more hits in, and then have to fill up on PP, but I'm trying to get a high level view of the pros and cons w/o committing.

I'm using multiple monitors with DisplayFusion Pro program.
Almost everything remembers where it was closed and opens it at that monitor, there is an option in DisplayFusoin to set the window location manually for those who don't.

Except for the Tweaker. Is there any way to resolve this problem?

To be clear, my 2nd monitor is always running and i don't want to turn on my 1st monitor everytime i wan't to log in and check my support partners. And it sucks(it's worse when there is a update/prepatch mini window) to find the tweaker blind and move it onto the 2nd monitor.

SEGA are treating this game as fully online-only game, and also why would you play this game on offline mode in the first place anyway, it'll be boring as hell.
Maybe except the dress up function part, i love dress up function!

You can't.
Mag are completelly separated on each character, the same goes on the used evolution device.
If you want to use the same evolution device on the different character, that mean you have to buy another device.

If you mean by "View quest information" is view how much rare dropped there, i believe there's none since the information are dynamic, it changes all the time.
If you don't care about how many times certain item dropped and just want to see the list of item that has chance to drop, then you might want to check swiki page for falz elder (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%83%80%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%95%E3% 82%A1%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A8%E3%83%AB %E3%83%80%E3%83%BC) and falz loser (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%83%80%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%95%E3% 82%A1%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BB%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC %E3%82%B5%E3%83%BC).

Customizing Sazan at level 3

I have one that simply adds 80-110% to damage at the cost of charge time, or one that exercises the execution interval at the cost of damage (-20 to -10%). However, it adds a maximum of 2 hits. Couldn't that potentially be more overall damage than the other customization?

[Chdata]

sazan has no such craft that reduces hit intervals

nazan does, and it makes charged nazan able to activate lilipa buttons in one hit

there's nothing wrong with offline functions. I wish steam had a real fake offline mode so I could get spamming kids and stalkers to screw off.

it has nothing to do with gameplay. it only makes you appear offline to chats, because obviously people will still see you in-game if they happen to find you. it's just to avoid chat spam. I have some guy who spams me with the same whisper every time I log in and randomly throughout the day.

Just out of curiosity, how rare are clones? Are they like super rare like a one in million chance to spawn? I've been abducted several times and completed Darkers Den solo but I have never once seen my clone outside of it. I run single areas including AQs but never seen them, so I was wondering how extremely rare are they to show up?

[Chdata]

clones are more common in some select EQs and AQs

I see. I was thinking there were specific AQs I needed to run. Unfortunately, Chrome Dragon EQ is extremely rare to show up. I've only seen that one once.

[KazukiQZ]

^There's no more 3 area EQ like that. Sega had changed them into 2 area (Multi->Boss area). Meaning no more single party area (No single party area means no clone can spawn). Another example of this would be Subdue Fang Banther.

So, AQs is your best bet, while some Arks Quest that has Single party area can also spawn clones but very random.

[Saagonsa]

all i know is the amduscia chrome dragon EQ gets them in A-1 often

Is there still an A-1 for that EQ? I thought they changed it so that it starts you in the multi-party area along with the other EQs that used to have a single party area.

Also I believe spamming TAs and hoping to be abducted is generally a better use of your time than hoping to run into them in a single party area, but I could be wrong about that.

That's too bad. I've been running AQs all the time and never see any clones so they must be a million in one chance to spawn. Oh well.

I've been moving around a lot since leaving Japan, and I took a peak at all the places I stayed. One home was definitely comcast (in Cali) and I couldn't connect... which is probably good as I was on the job hunt. I was never able to connect at any of the others (2 homes, a hotel, and ultimately my home). I could connect to pso2.jp on all of them from what I remember.

[nathanielzor]

If you check the AQ quest records for Special Abilities Urban has the highest Modulator drop. But I hear that Nab is the best place to find clones. Theres too much conflicting information so I'd just say all the AQs have the same chance for clones.. :(

Are those 13* weapons in Xie's badge shop shit if they aren't 60%? Because it takes so fucking long to get 300 gold badges, I'm not gonna have time to get two of them to get a 60% one.

[Ciciro]

Where can I find guides for new PSO2 players?

[Cyber Meteor]

@Big Olaf For striking and ranged weapon, there is roughly a 10% dmg difference between a 30 % elem and a 60 % 13*. For tech weapons, it would be 15% because of Element conversion with same element between weapon and technique , 7.5% if different element. So it's pretty significant imo, however the Xie Rod isn't worth it if you already have a good uncrafted elemental rod at 50 elem and +40(Bert Rodan, Nepto Rod, Caduceus....... or even Evil Rod) since the potential of the 13* has a too low dmg boost at lvl3 (3%) to make them significantly stronger, it's just identical in dmg without potential at 60%, 3% stronger with the potential.:-P As for other weapons, i can't say for sure if Xie is best for a specific type, you should try the damage calculator to see how it is for the weapon you want. Anyway, you have until August 5th to run the LQ and 3 more weeks to spend your badges in the shop (I'm not sure if you were thinking the LQ ended after next maintenance)

I want the double saber. I don't know where the damage calculator is, could you provide a link?

Also, 3 weeks may still not be enough time for me. I don't play THAT much, and 300 badges is A LOT, so. I only just now hit 150, after running the event many times.

Why do we have AC Tickets at 500 AC that are only for costumes? In a batch of 12 tickets, you normally end up with more costumers than anything else and they are not the most profitable items to sale. Logically speaking, we should have tickets just for non-costumes like Item Lab stuff or Lobby Action Tickets.

Gold tickets give you boxes, not costumes.

From a cost perspective, the Gold is still a bad deal. The boxes will include two to three (four if there are cast parts) items, but they mostly skew toward only two per box (taking the current scratch as an example, there are 31 two-item boxes and 21 three-item boxes, meaning roughly ~60% of the scratch is two-item boxes). For 5000AC, you can buy 27 scratch items (24 for 4400AC in a bundle, and 3 for 600AC) with the chance of getting high resale items like Lobby Actions, and the Gold bundle will net you between 22 and 33 items, but you will most likely skew toward the lower end of that since there are more two-item boxes.

All right, thanks.


Use 250. It helps with silver from bosses (7->1 gold) and getting gold from trials.

I can use 250 coins for something that costs 300?

Or do you mean given all the silvers I get, I should only need 250 gold? Because I have been converting (most of) my silvers.

He means use a 250 rare drop booster. I always have mine on and I average about 4 gold badges per run.

However you aren't bound and doomed to get a bunch of stupid grind protects. Each has their ups and downs. I did 11 golds and 22 normals this scratch. Definitely made more from golds, but this was a good scratch. :(

Can someone explain me what is Bouncer all about? Is it a teacher class or melee? Is it the spiritual succesor of the FOmar from PSO?

[Rakurai]

Bouncer isn't as good at teching as FO or TE, and is better off focusing on melee.

If you do want to use offensive techs, jet boots are the weapon of choice, as they boost T-ATK, whereas the alternative of dual blades doesn't.

What I don't want is to use other techs than the support.
I'm asking this cause I find it odd that it uses both strike and tech atk.

Could you please elaborate a little bit more on your answer? IS Bouncer a class suppoused to be used on melee? Can you survive only with support techs? How good is it?

[gaijin_punch]

Does a rare boost effect the stuff awarded after an Emergency Trial?

[Cyber Meteor]

No, rare boosters don't affect E-trial reward drop rate.

[LonelyGaruga]

Actually they do.

[KazukiQZ]

Question: Does breaking DF Loser's cloak crystals (when he's in enraged mode) increase droprate of rare weapon, or just his units?

[Rakurai]

Dual blades does fine using only support techs.

Jet boots mostly use offensive techs to change their weapon's element and build their gear gauge but otherwise focus on melee PAs.

[the_importer_]

Oh, I always thought Gold were for costumes only. But ya, I don't think it helps in regards of the most profitable items.

Read on pso2.swiki that people were using the bosts. I know they help w/ the silvers but was unaware of the golds. Thanks.

I thought RDR actually helps on getting gold badges from e-trial though?
I was using RDR and get lots of gold badges, and when i just rush there without any RDR i just getting bunch of grinders out of it.

[wahahaha]

Which XQ floor drops a lot of units?

[nathanielzor]

Question: Does breaking DF Loser's cloak crystals (when he's in enraged mode) increase droprate of rare weapon, or just his units?
Breakable parts only increase unit drops as far as I'm aware. Except for weapon breakables like Hunar's sword and etc.

[Espri]

Do the Live and Bio weapon pots increase the damage of vol/banish like additional crit damage does?

[.Jack]

Any info on the psycho wand new potential being added?

[Alma]

all we know from the livestream was it got 2nd potential unlokced with photon buster from Cmode point shop.

the new potential, at LV1, reduce pp consumption by 11% and boost tech damage by 6%

[gaijin_punch]

The latter ones where the bosses are level 70. Higher level - more items from bosses - greater chances for rare drop.

[gaijin_punch]

Is the Orochi Agito still cosidered the god tier 12-star katana, or has Yamigarasu or other dethroned it? They seem a similar price in the shop.

[KazukiQZ]

^Evil Rakuka (Magatsu 12* katana) is been said to top both Orochi and Yami. This is not counting 13*, of course.

Which Soul is optimal for Bullet Bows? Apprentice(40 S/T/R-Atk), Siorg(35 R-Atk, 20HP, 1PP) or Mizer Soul(30 R-Atk, 3PP)?

Thanks.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Id argue it depends on your budget.

Be mindful though of the 3 only mizer boost shoot but there are ways around that. (Such as having like like fang or vardha soul within fodder to help boost shoot)

Of course thats just my opinion.

[wefwq]

Personally i still prefer Mizer, because it boost shoot and gave 3PP, keep in mind it's just opinion.
Apprentice are kind of nice, but it's really expensive and kind of hard to get.
Siorg, well... i dunno how should i put it, i don't really like it to put HP on my weapon cause it's spark my autism.

[Chdata]

what even drops apprentice

[Spiral]

what even drops apprentice

Apprentice. You can (hope to) run into them in the city advance quest, much like with clones for modulators.

EDIT:
See page: http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%80%90%E8%8B%A5%E4%BA%BA%E3%80%91%E8% A4%87%E8%A3%BD%E4%BD%93
Turns out Dark Falz Apprentice can invade in -any- advance quest.
If one appears, it'll be an emergency code duel akin to one with Dark Falz Persona or Dark Falz angel.

[the_importer_]

So I regarding the checklist I made to see all of my progress, there's a few things that I don't know if I'll be able to complete:

According to Cirno, there are 3 EQ that I don't recall ever seeing:

-Urban Mop-Up Operation
-The Oncoming Darkness
-ARKS Ship Fire Swirl

All 3 seem to be in the city, so they could be older discontinued versions of Urban Recovery, I don't know.

Now regarding Daily Crafts. Is there a limit to these orders that will make them loop back like Daily Orders? Also, do you think that by doing every Daily Craft Orders that it could be possible to unlock everything in Crafting?

[Chdata]

fire swirl was a valentines holiday quest I think, or maybe it was even related to some sort of local disaster

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Just when i thought i came to understood this game.

Where the heck does Noble stuff come from? (I assume AC)

Saw this person with 6s Noble Power on his wep and units

[Poyonche]

-Urban Mop-Up Operation
-The Oncoming Darkness
-ARKS Ship Fire Swirl

ARKS Ship Fire Swirl was a 1st anniversary emergency quest, you had some water mechguns (they were already poten unlocked) and had to shot on the fire (the potent made that you were doing 122 on the fire, your normal weapons were doing things like 1)

Urban Mop-Up Operation was a quest where you had to kill darkers to collect a certain number of points (1000 if my memory is right) with a timer.

The Oncoming Darkness was a quest where you had to go in the last area in order to defeat Hunar.

They were both cancelled (and a third one where Ragne was the final boss) at Episode 3 release and Urban Recovery appeared, it is like 3 EQs in one because it features Dark Ragne as a final boss, features Hunar which can appear randomly and kick your ass and features Quest Pts.

Also, the 3 quests were always appearing together.

Ah, that would explain. I didn't do much EQ before EP3 came around, I was doing all of the other quests in every difficulties. Guess I'll remove them from my list then, thanks.

[Poyonche]

Also, Cirnopedia isn't saying it but, Approaching Dark Arms and Profound Darkness 'Kin : [Elder] have been replaced by "Raging Dark Arms" and "Utterly Profound".

[Inconvenient]

Is the Xie 11* armor set any good? The one for 30 silver?

[KazukiQZ]

^No.

The only use I've seen for it is when you want to include it with other unit set like Tian or Blitz as a 100HP leg unit. Even then, crafting a lower rarity leg unit can give the same result (often better) while Ing Plate (the original 100HP leg unit) can be a drop in Matterboard EP3-3.

[untrustful]

So I'm hearing weapons will be getting new potentials or something? Anyone got details?

[KazukiQZ]

^12* will get 2nd hidden potential. But this new pot can't be unlocked by default way.

You need to use an item called 'Photon Booster' from Challenge Miles shop. Each one cost 5k CM.
So, for lv3 pot, you'll need 3 of this item.

[the_importer_]

Can't Xie's crappy units be used to create unit exchange passes to buy better ones?

[untrustful]

Does it add to or replace the default potential?

[KazukiQZ]

^Like usual, weapons with dual potential. So, only 1 can be used at a time.

@the_importer

I've seen someone posted about that: units from exchange shops (Xie, Extreme stone) cannot be used for 11* unit passes. Although, Magatsu's 12* trade-in apparently can.

[Perfect Chaos]

So, for lv3 pot, you'll need 3 of this item.From the video that was shown, you actually need 3 Photon Boosters just to unlock lv1, IIRC. So it'll most likely follow the 3-4-5 pattern of Photon Spheres for regular potentials, thus needing 12 in total, or 60,000 CMs.

Does it add to or replace the default potential?I'm assuming it'll replace the old one, or else Psycho Wand will be saving a ridiculous amount of PP.

[KazukiQZ]

^Wow, even worst xD

[neilp4453]

Just got everything running. What mission does everyone run?

[yoshiblue]

As a new dude to PSO2, may be a good idea to do the Arks Quests and talk to Coffee every so often. That way you can unlock areas, level caps, sub class, mags and partner machines. Otherwise, it may be a good idea to run the limited quest while it's still around if you want some quick levels.

If you plan to do the LQ, it might be a good idea to pay a visit to the shopping zone to find Clara and Xie. Clara will have some client orders for the LQ and Xie is the person you give medals to.

[neilp4453]

A couple questions.

There is an event right now, correct?

How much is the game translated? I ask because I still run into plenty of non-English text.

Should I focus on getting to cap right now ASAP?

What are ark quests?

Also, I miss lasers and shotguns. My favorite weapon was the rucar.

Starting out, look for the NPC called Koffee. Anything she tells you to do, do it. After she runs out of things to tell you to-do, then you get to levelling.

Lasers = get Sphere Eraser. That's a laser.

Shotguns = Homing Emission or Diffuse Shell depending on what you have in mind.

[yoshiblue]

English patch will cover what you need. Large English patch gives you the extra untranslated bits, though I never use it so i can't tell you how much is translated or not. Most of the game should be translated though.

Arks quests are just the normal quests you can find in the mission counter. Normally under free zones when you unlock them. The event is the limited quest I mentioned earlier, Winged Boarder Breaker. Not sure how much longer it will be around.

I believe the first level cap quest should be around lv25, so its up to you if you want to do that right away. Launchers have an ability call Sphere Eraser that acts like a laser. Rifles have a shoot gun skill as well. You can also get gunslash skill called additional bullet that kinda acts like an automatic shotgun.
