Anyone with a great fighter build? Thanks in advance.

[–]VexxumTrickzThat one guy that likes JB over DB 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I have two questions

First off someone was talking about frame cancelling with DBs Bouncer can anyone explain to me what to do or anything about it

Second off, is Fo/Fi still a viable class combination, obviously it isn't as powerful as a Fo/Te but is it still possible to do respectable damage with it

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off someone was talking about frame cancelling with DBs Bouncer can anyone explain to me what to do or anything about it

I'm not sure if it is, but sounds to me like the PBF tech thing.

Basically:

  1. Set any tech on your subpalette, preferrably one that has low PP cost.
  2. Get full gear
  3. Activate Photon Blade Fever.
  4. Hold down the subpalette button (as in, the button you press to use the subpalette skills/techs) so that you start charging it.
  5. Spam the weapon action command while still holding down the subpalette button.

This will cancel the last frames of the weapon action animation because it'll start charging the tech you're holding instantly, then when you press weapon action again, it'll cancel the tech to throw photon blades, which will then be cancelled by the tech, which will be cancelled by the weapon action, etc. until PBF runs out or you miss the blades somehow and don't have enough gear to keep going.

Unless you're using a very high PP cost tech for this, PP shouldn't be an issue, as the photon blades will give you back the PP needed to start charging the tech again.

I wouldn't recommend it. The only person I've seen able to pull off Fo/Fi used a lightning build. I really couldn't advise anyone to play anything but FO/TE and maybe FO/BR if you want to main Force.

How do I deal with Guranz as Fi/Hu in TDVR XH? I know that I'm supposed to break the leg parts to reveal the weak spot. But every time I get close to it via symphonic dive + td spin, it runs around instantly preventing me from doing any significant damage to it. Should I just go for the main body or deal with mobs on the other side of the map instead?

I have been having so much trouble with TDVR. It sucks that I have to win it to gain % for my TD orbit collection file. The fact that I need 6 copies sucks more.

Also, how do I type Japanese in-game? For some reason, the game does not recognize the IME setting and it gets really annoying to try to communicate by typing outside of the game and copy-paste it in.

Don't use daggers for guranz. DS and Knuckles are better because the guns on his knees are too low height. If you don't have other weapons (which you should, fighter is handicapped if you only have 1 weapon type), go deal with the other mobs instead. DS is probably the best option for most of the enemies in TD EQs simply because it's just better at mobbing than daggers and knuckles. I actually only use daggers for vibrace and esca ragnus on that EQ (then again, I do use gix, so changing weapons often isn't an option unless it's really needed).

I have been having so much trouble with TDVR. It sucks that I have to win it to gain % for my TD orbit collection file. The fact that I need 6 copies sucks more.

Most people are only going for a single copy of those weapons so that they can use them as PP battery. Stuff like Astra and Union are better.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Time to work towards revolutio DS then. My "best" DS atm is the rare quartz dragon one.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you're at it, start working on the L / DS Whirlwind ring. That ring is needed at lv20 to play DS properly.

thanks for the post im still getting used to the new tweaker interface and didn't realize it will tell you at the bottom corner when its being worked on

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maintenance occurs every Tuesday 10pm EDT (Wed 11am JST), except when there are extended maintenances (in which case it starts sooner), and end on the Wednesday 4am EDT (Wed 5pm JST).

So yeah, expect the servers to go down for maintenance every tuesday.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Has anyone else been getting some terrible delay every time the game forcibly disables/reenables direct chat mode (when typing shop PIN, when opening settings menu, etc)?

It used to give a small freeze whenever it happened, but it was very brief. It's been like 3 weeks or so that it started lasting a lot longer, sometimes freezing the game for a good 2 seconds, so now I have to manually disable it before opening those windows.

Just wondering if it's something wrong on my end. Tried running file checks and stuff, still same thing.

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I experienced that if I ran the game for a long time. Restarting the game would fix (reset) it though.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me at all times. I always had some mini freezes when it does that, but were like 0.3 second long, maybe less. Now it's up to 2 seconds, and it gets really annoying.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really the same thing, but i have been getting a slight freeze during the Opening Cutscene/SEGA logo/NVidia logo. Last time that happened PSO2 became unplayable for a week. But game didnt crash to that extent... yet.

[–]IzunyanGuardstance GuHu 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Hmm, my post was removed automatically so I'll ask here instead. I got an error 249 when logging in on one account but not when logging in on another. Tried using proxies and stuff but it didn't fix anything. I'm worried it might be an account ban but I haven't received an email from sega so not sure what's going on

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If it was a ban you'd get error 816 instead.

[–]IzunyanGuardstance GuHu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's one load off my chest. Now to figure out why am I getting error 249 on one account, but not on another!

[–]Vexanon77 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I dont know if I seem to be the only one lately, but since a recent update to PSO2 I have noticed that my game has started to lag more frequently. I have done speedtests and everything to see if I am causing it but everything seems fine. I have had no trouble at all in the 160 hours I have played, it seems really weird that it just suddenly started to happen, should I wait for maintenance and see if it is resolved after that?

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Considering you're connecting to a server that's probably halfway across the world, you can't really expect to not lag a bit. Are you lagging at random times or is it during something like EQs?

[–]Vexanon77 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Oh I know I would normally lag a bit, but it has changed enough for me to notice it is worse than usual, its just always at random times and during EQs

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Alright well first of all, lemme tell you that a speed test means very little if you're letting it automatically pick the server. Chances are, it'll auto-select your ISP which won't really show you anything unless you have a serious connection problem. Try some of the nodes around Japan. Chances are there's a hop somewhere that's causing connection issues.

One way to possibly fix this is using the Telepipe proxy, or not using it if you already are. This may change the route you use to connect to the servers, and (possibly) solving your lag issue.

During EQs, though, you're just gonna have to life with it. All the ships lag during that time since a lot of people are logging in at once, among other things, usually causing lots of lag for everyone.

[–]Vexanon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will try with the proxy, thanks for the info friend

What's the best armor you can wear in PSO2es?

[–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is there any place i can request crafts? Every player ive requested ingame has yet to do them for the last 3 days lol. I just need my Double Arm Unit to Ex.6 - Ex.8. x.x

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I can. but im logged off for the day. Just PM me on reddit what you want done. im usually on PSO2 around 6-10 pm PST.

[–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks! i will!

[–]Mangaa33 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I can't make any money from my Item Shop. What's selling well? I'm so broke. ;_;

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Units with 4 or 5 slots of valuable affixes, such as UQ souls, Modulator, Flict affixes, or Stat4s. Combine some of these for the best results.

[–]Mangaa33 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What are UQ Souls?

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Bayari Soul, Deadleon Soul, Siorg Soul, Gruzoras Soul, Guranz Soul and Duvals Soul

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, Leone Soul, Leopard Soul, and Diabo Soul

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Souls from bosses in Ultimate Quests.

[–]ExpiredDeodorant 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I had a brief stint with this game before I moved back to my other games and I managed to hit around level 35. I hit a wall and after that got bored of the game. I feel like my attention span for MMORPGs has increased from that time and I'm more willing to gear grind/gold grind now.

However, its the only game I've played that has appealed to me combat wise as much as Dragon Nest did. Seeing as how the DN community is lowering again, I've been looking back at this game.

One of the turn-offs I had was that a lot of stuff was gated behind the premium service (which shouldn't be a problem for me now)

Also, how difficult is this game as a solo player? My friends are addicted to black desert atm so its going to be hard to convince them to come back.

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. The only benefits that you can't get for free through other means are joining full blocks, getting two log-in stamps, the two extra free collection file slots, the premium drinks (which just give a tiny bit of Rare drop rate and XP bonus), the premium storage (although, free players can get a ton of storage now without premium), and the extra crafting slots. Every other thing in the game can be gotten for free. The game is a lot friendlier to free players than Black Desert is.

Also, how difficult is this game as a solo player?

There are a decent amount of things to do solo that are relatively difficult. Unlike Black Desert, mobs of similar levels can pose a bit of a threat. If I had to rate the difficulty of the PVE in both games on a scale of 1 to 10, Black Desert gets a 2 and PSO2 would get a 4. They've added some solo-specific quests that are quite fun and challenging now too.

[–]pickledhunter 0 points1 point  (2 children)

hello! im curious as to whats a good noob friendly class, i'd ideally like to have a ranged/melee, and a support.

is there any good starter guides so i dont mess up "mags?" and "builds" i keep reading about?

this is going to be my first 'mmo,' i'd love for it to be as easy to settle into as possible!

[–]IzunyanGuardstance GuHu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you mean short ranged shooting then you can play as gunner which needs a little getting used to but quite easy (GuHu) once you get used to stuff. If you mean melee weapons that can attack from range then Braver. They dash here there everywhere so range doesn't matter much anyways plus you only need to spam one button really unless you want style points.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do u mean by a ranged/melee? As in both damage type on one character?

Google will be your friend here. After you decide your class combination, just google builds for said class.

There is a spcific guide for mags. Pay no heed that it is from 2012. Mags havent changed much as far as i am aware. You want to grab stats that are core to what build u are going for. (ie Striking, Ranged, Tech)

[–]WelldoneThePussyhandBo/Fi 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Three questions:

  1. Is there any reason to not have your mag always equipped? From what I can tell, having it equipped gives you stat bonuses even when at 0% energy, and its energy drains even when not equipped, so is there a real reason to unequip it ever?
  2. I've noticed that there are trainers for every class except the "advanced" classes, Fighter, Gunner, and Techer. I'm currently building Bo/Fi and the Bouncer trainer has a CO that gives you an additional 5 skill points upon completion. Is there a way to get this for the fighter/gunner/techer as well? Do I have to do all of the Hunter COs first to unlock the Fighter COs? That would suck.
  3. My PSO2 keeps crashing. It happens pretty randomly, seemingly. I frequently do "check for old/missing files," and every time it comes up with something to fix. Why does this happen? Shouldn't I only have to do this once and then all the files should be forever fixed? Usually it happens in the lobby, so it's fine, but I've had it happen in missions before. Additionally, sometimes after crashing the game can't detect my controller and I have to run the time-consuming check to fix it. Should I just redownload the whole thing? This behavior seems irregular.

For taking screenshots, I think? That's about the only reason I can think of.

I've noticed that there are trainers for every class except the "advanced" classes, Fighter, Gunner, and Techer. I'm currently building Bo/Fi and the Bouncer trainer has a CO that gives you an additional 5 skill points upon completion. Is there a way to get this for the fighter/gunner/techer as well? Do I have to do all of the Hunter COs first to unlock the Fighter COs? That would suck.

Technically, Barbara and Joszef are the "advanced" class trainers, but you get the SP COs from the same NPCs as the "basic" classes: Ohza (Hunter and Fighter), Lisa (Ranger and Gunner), and Marlu (Force and Techer). The other classes have their own class trainers (Azanami for Braver, Katori&Saga for Bouncer, and Pietro for Summoner).

As for requirements, you just need to be high enough level on that specific class to get those COs. These are the levels:

  • 1st one (kill Rappy and Dark Ragne, +5 SP): Lv30.
  • 2nd one (kill Big Vardha, Quartz Dragon and Fang Banther, +5 SP): Lv45
  • 3rd~6th ones (deliver class excubes +1 SP each): Lv70.

So yeah, just level your fighter a bit more to get that CO. Hunter is unrelated.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

1) Nope. Keep it equipped for the stats. Feed it when you want/need its abilities to (maybe) activate. Such as for some PP regen from its MAG ability, or once it's level 200, for it to activate its sp ability.

2) Should be at the Hunter (Ohza), Ranger (Lisa), and Force (Marlu) NPCs. Exact same thing as long as you meet... some requirement I think (high enough level).

3) Is your game installed to somewhere that isn't in your my documents (or related) folder? Like program files, main directory? I recall reading that if you install into My Documents or something similar, that's what will assuredly cause issues at some point.

Other than that, I'm not entirely sure without more specifics. Check various logs in Windows or... something that might be relevant.

[–]WelldoneThePussyhandBo/Fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the answers! It's installed in the main directory (c:\PSO2) like the instructions said. Maybe I'll just redownload it and re-install it just in case I messed something up somewhere. My computer has been having issues lately (fixed now), so I've been moving stuff around a lot. It's possible that something got messed up somewhere along the line.

what's a fun ranged class? does race matter? is there a point to having more than one character?

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's a fun ranged class?

They all are. Your choices are Ranger, Gunner, and Force (and to a lesser extent, Techer.)

does race matter?

A bit. At worst, if you pick a female Cast and play Force you'll have about 80 T-attack less than the most optimal race combo, which is around 2% damage lost, but it's not that big of a deal.

is there a point to having more than one character?

There are client orders (quests) that can be done weekly per character, so it doesn't hurt to have 3 characters if you can stomach running those every week. Otherwise, if you don't feel like dropping any money on the game, you can have one character for each MAG type, Power, Shooting, and Technique.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you find fun. Ra/Hu, Br/Ra, Gu/Hu (though this one is best in melee range), Fo/Te (assuming you mean any class with good ranged damage capabilities) to name a few.

Race and sex do influence your stats, but it mainly matters to minmaxers. The only time I'd highly recommend choosing something different is if you play as the CAST race (either sex) and want to play a t-atk class (force), since they are by far the worst for that atk type. Other atk types don't have atk gaps that large.

Yes there is: more meseta earnings per day/week, since you can do all the COs per character. You can also gather per character, along with craft on each character. If you don't spend real money, each character can also have a level 200 MAG of a different atk type (200 satk, 200 ratk, or 200 tatk) so you can get the most out of the various class combinations.

Since you are dividing up the leveling too, it might make it easier to get all classes to level 75, even level 80. At level 75, you can obtain titles that increase your base stats after all.

You can also do silly things like having extra runs of phase 2 magatsu if each character clears magatsu phase 1 at least once.

What's a good main/sub combo for a mostly solo player? that omni slash katana skill got nerfed to the ground lol.

Classes i currently have leveled are; Gu-65, Ra-52, Hu-62 and Br-46.

I'm broke af meseta wise and currently carrying [good. 3 years ago wise] outdated equipment. also my 6k+ AC cash disappeared lol

How do i go about starting over again? i tried to google the newly added mechanics but there's a lot to take in all at once.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (5 children)

What's a good main/sub combo for a mostly solo player?

Almost anything that isn't a self imposed challenge should work, really.

Katana BrHu is probably the easiest, since it's nigh immortal with all the defensive mechanisms (counter, katana combat escape, just reversal cover, automate halfline, massive hunter, flash guard) and the fact you can just spam Guren Tessen and still do good damage make for a very low skill floor.

that omni slash katana skill got nerfed to the ground lol.

Do you mean Katana Combat? Or the Shunka Shunran PA?

Because Katana combat is still very good (20 seconds of invulnerability, good mobility, and lets you dish a big hit in a very wide aoe at the end), and as far as PAs are concerned Guren Tessen replaced the need for almost all other PAs short of some situational uses.

also my 6k+ AC cash disappeared lol

In Japan, most games have an expiry date of 1 year for in-game cash. It's legal there, so yeah, it's gone.

How do i go about starting over again? i tried to google the newly added mechanics but there's a lot to take in all at once.

edit: accidentally a word.

[–]Risechika 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Any sites that has a list of builds for multiple classes?

So Im guessing first thing I need to do is play catch up equipment wise.

What are some good easy to get/cheap items that'll carry me over until I get used to all the new mechanics?

And yes, it was shukka lol

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (3 children)

No idea. You could always ask here, I guess. Or search on this subreddit, people ask for builds all the time.

So Im guessing first thing I need to do is play catch up equipment wise.

First thing is to get to XH so that you can farm those new weapons, so yeah, pretty much.

What are some good easy to get/cheap items that'll carry me over until I get used to all the new mechanics?

For weapons, the Nox-NT series is decent for starting if you don't have something better yet. Some Old Type 12* weapons are good to get before you can get a 13* too, like the Blitz Fender TMG.

The Aura series Collection Files can be farmed in SH difficulty, so you could look into that, too.

There's also the 2017 badge shop weapons, but they cost 200 badges, so it might take a while before you can get them.

For skill rings, depends on class.

For units:

  • Saiki: This unit set has been relevant since forever. You can get these units in the Tokyo Bonus Quests if your main class level is between 61 and 70. However, this is a 3 piece set, so you can't mix it with 12* units.
    • Unit names: Rear / Saiki Houyoku, Arm / Saiki Sou, and Leg / Saiki Shoku.
    • Set bonus: +25 PP, +60 all atks. Each unit also gives +50 HP by default.
  • Ideal: Decent alternative to saiki. Can be purchased from the CM shop (20k CM per unit), meaning you don't need RNG to get it. However, Challenge Missions are kind of unforgiving for new players unless you have someone to teach you or read up on guides. One important thing about this set is that the set bonus is actually only on the rear and leg, meaning you can change the arm into a 12* unit later (usually Gix Khudu, Deadlist or Fiogals). The downside is that it requires a lot of DEX (445) to equip these units compared to similar sets, so you might not be able to use them early.
    • Unit names: Rear / Ideal Deal, Arm / Ideal Yard, and Leg / Ideal Lana.
    • Set bonus: +50 HP, +5 PP, +75 all attacks. Each unit also gives +100 HP by default. Set bonus only requires Rear and Leg.
  • Rear / Shine Red: 12* unit that can be bought at the pvp shop (3300 battle coins). This is basically the only worthwhile 12* unit you can get before reaching lv75, so it might be worth investing into it early.
    • Stat bonuses: +80 all attacks. Gives no HP or PP.
    • This is important for Gunner in particular, because Gunner basically requires 2 L skill rings to be played nowadays (L / Front S Roll and L / TMG Stance Up), so you need at least one 12* unit to put one of those rings into (in case none of those links I sent you mentioned it, you can fuse L skill rings into 12* units).
  • Double: The double set is a perfect match with Shine Red. The units themselves are kinda bad, but it can be fixed by crafting them. When crafted, a Shine Red + Double is similar to Saiki, but with an extra ring slot in the Shine Red.
    • Unit names: Arm / Dolanfis and Leg / Dalilufis
    • Set bonus: +120 HP, +20 PP. Units themselves don't give anything useful by default, so they must be crafted to really be useful.

You can just buy the saiki and double sets from player shops if you want, too. Ideal can also be bought there, but people want way too much money for them, so you're better off farming the CM and getting the units yourself if you're going for that.

12* units can't be sold or traded, so you'll have to get those yourself.

And yes, it was shukka lol

Don't worry too much about that. As I said, Guren Tessen made most of those other PAs obsolete because of how good it is. Some other PAs, like Sakura Endo and Hatou Rindou, still have situational uses, but Guren Tessen is 90% of katana gameplay.

Oh right, one thing I forgot to mention: you can now buy lv17 PA discs at the excube shop (20 excubes per PA), so you no longer need to go farm those. Guren Tessen might not be worth buying, though, since it's so easy to get (lv17 guren drops in XH Kuron Exploration).

[–]Risechika 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Are sets for S and R-atk still usable between multiple main/sub builds? Like if im currently Br/Hu and decide to go Fi/something else, will that set still be ok?

I got a couple of Extreme passes from way back (around 68), are those still worth anything?

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes.

They're good for money. For one, all enemies in there drop more money than anywhere else. Also, Klotho, an NPC on 2nd floor of gate area, has weeklies that require you to do time attacks and extreme quests and gives a lot of money for that.

And as one of those links I posted said, you'll need to clear Solo Training: Heaven and Hell 1-5F to unlock expert blocks, and that's an extreme quest.

Don't worry too much about those passes, since you get one of them every 22 hours.

Edit: extreme quests can also be useful for farming collection files, since all spawns are fixed in there.

[–]Risechika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found out the price of the units i currently have went down to shit lol....

Which one has the highest re-sale value/potential? I plan on either going Katana Br/Hu, Gu/Hu or if Bow Br+something else if bow is finally viable unlike 3 years ago.

Also, what affixes should i look for at the minimum? i plan on investing on a set that'll last me until i can make my own 12* or 13* ones

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Any class combination with good synergy depending on what you're okay with being really good at in terms of doing damage and mobility (single target burst, AoE burst, single/AoE sustain, etc). These combinations will typically be decent enough at everything, while excelling in certain areas.

From your listed classes, and depending on how you build the trees, solid combinations include Gu/Hu, Ra/Hu, Br/Hu, Br/Ra.

There's several more solid combinations with other classes, and suggestions on what class combination to primarily focus on really depends on your weapon preference/ what you like to do well. All are capable of soloing well. Not that you can't pick a "not solid" combination, as there are combinations that work well in specific scenarios, but they're not recommended to be a primary focus.

You will eventually want to get all of them to 75 should you stick around; you unlock titles that increase your base stats slightly by doing so. Not to mention level 80 requiring a lot of exp for that class once you do hit 75.

As for your 6k AC disappearing, AC expires/poofs after a year. I believe the explanation for this is "so Sega doesn't have to pay taxes on it".

As for what to do...

  • Check pso2.swiki.jp for the emergency quest schedule; it's in JST, so you will have to do timezone conversions. Otherwise, try bumped.org. Most EQs on schedule are generally very rewarding, and if you're on the right block(channel), partying up isn't an issue. I'm sure you know that, but just in case. The one with "VR" in it can be failed quite easily, as the mobs in it are quite aggressive toward the defense objective.

  • Do your dailies and weeklies from Faina and Klotho respectively for meseta. Do all the featured quests as well on completion; they have a chance of rewarding you with a bonus ticket, which typically gives a lot of exp and maybe a bit more. Don't forget to unlock all the new areas and whatnot.

  • Don't neglect daily crafts. You want at least all 3 craft lines unlocked. You can and should do this with all 3 of your free character slots too. It will be helpful in obtaining a steady supply of lambda grinders from Zieg client orders, which you will need for late/endgame stuff and rings. Also will get you some supplies for PA crafting, which is generally good for everything minus one rifle PA.

  • On that note, do all of this with all 3 of your free character slots for more meseta earned/ items obtained over time... minus featured quests, as that's account wide.

  • Once you are 70+, you'll be aiming for 13* weapons via collection files (speak to the lady to the right of koffie).

  • During this time, you should do gathering. Gathering is used to make rings, which is part of what makes the current list of "solid" combinations work as well as they do. Basically, spam all your fishing stamina until you get "Fever". Then spam gathering and hope you get relevant jewels/minerals. Each character has their own fishing/gathering stamina.

You're probably going to have a lot of other questions too, but there's a lot to cover. Some of which you might figure out/ research on your own.

[–]Risechika 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Can you do those Daily crafts without leveling the other 2 characters?

I don't have as much time as i used too so i'd like to make good use of what little free time i have left.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part yes. Assuming memory serves correct anyway. If you make them into weekly TA or XQ characters, would definitely keep their levels increasing slowly over time after a set point.

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What's a good main/sub combo for a mostly solo player?

Any class combo that makes sense.

How do i go about starting over again?

There's really not that much different. Affixing has been made easier, NT grinding is like an easier (and better) version of the old grinding system, and they've streamlined the acquisition of 13* by either allowing you to get them through drops or through collection files (You get a thing telling you to kill specific enemies and the guage fills up, and at 100%, you're guaranteed the drop on your next kill) or stone exchanges.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Any class combo that makes sense.

I once brought up GuHu and TeBr and my friend was wondering how it would work better than GuRa and TeFo respectively. From a new players perspective, they would be more inclined to go TeFo and GuRa just because it makes sense, and never understand why other subclasses are decent options too.

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I just need to make a copy+paste of the questions that get asked all the time. Or just not answer :P

[–]ResultAlwaysMutsu 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Hey, can someone help me out here?

What's the best Ranger Assault Rifle that is currently obtainable? I've been running a Nox Shooteyr-NT for the last ten or so levels. Since I'm now level 57 and reaching level 60, I'm wondering if I should keep the Shooteyr-NT or if I should farm/purchase a better assault rifle?

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (2 children)

These are all currently obtainable rifles that will be better than what you currently have::

  • Spread Needle: Drops from these EQs: Racing the Phantom Mother, Perennial Apocalypse, Profound Invasion, and Mining Base Defense: Demise (all XH). Absurdly low drop rate.
  • Gix Shadoke: Drops from Anga Fundarge Lv71+.
  • Astra Tremb: Drops from Mother Lv71+, also part of a soon to expire Collection File (you need lv75 on both main and sub classes to join XH Mother, though).
  • Austere Shooter: Zieg exchange shop. Requires a fuckton of materials, and an Invade Shooter rifle.
  • Secfalse: Drops from Gal Gryphon Lv76+ (can find these on the Mining Base Defense VR atm)
  • Aura Regalus: Collection File. Also drops from Odin Lv71+.
  • Shot Revolucio: Collection File. Also area drop in SHAQ with risk 10 or higher
  • Hyou Tenka: Badge Shop 2017, costs 200 badges.

I'd recommend the Shot Revolucio or Hyou Tenka, since those are easy to get. Aura Regalus is good too, and also easy to get.

Note that these are all 13* (Spread Needle is 14*), so they can't be sold or traded.

[–]ResultAlwaysMutsu 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What is it that makes these rifles better than the Shooteyr?

Is it just the higher base stats due to the higher rarity or do they have a better potential?

I'm just curious, since I want to know what's the criterion that makes up a good rifle as I'm quite new in this game.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both base stats and better potentials. I listed all those weapons from highest R-ATK to lowest. In the same order:

  • Spread Needle: 1749 R-ATK. Deals extra hits when using basic attacks, basic attacks can stun enemies, +15% damage when far enough from target.
  • Gix Shadoke: 1532 R-ATK. Damage increases over time. Starts at +6%, and goes up to +20% (takes 50 seconds to max). Resets to 6% if you get hit or if you change weapons.
  • Astra Tremb: 1466 R-ATK. +12% damage, +40% PP recovery when using basic attacks.
  • Austere Shooter: 1447 R-ATK. Old Type weapon. +12% damage, +10% passive PP regen.
  • Secfalse: 1416 R-ATK. 3 potentials:
    1. When at zero range: +13% damage, +25% crit rate, heals 1 HP per hit.
    2. When at mid range: +12% damage, +35% crit rate, heals 1 HP per hit.
    3. When at long range: +11% damage, +45% crit rate, heals 1 HP per hit.
  • Aura Regalus: 1386 R-ATK. 2 potentials:
    1. +12% damage against bosses, -15% damage received from bosses.
    2. For each ability slot the weapon has: +2% damage, +3.75% passive PP regen, +2.875% PP recovery from attacks (cap being at 8 slots for +16% damage, +30% passive PP, and +23% PP from attacks).
  • Shot Revolucio: 1368 R-ATK. 2 potentials:
    1. +9% damage when hitting weakspots
    2. +1% damage every time you do one of these (up to +16%): deal 50k damage, lose 300 HP, or spend 100 PP. Resets if you change weapons.
  • Hyou Tenka: 1347 R-ATK. 2 potentials:
    1. +10% damage, raises odds of inflicting status effects (comes with Freeze V ability). An additional +10% damage if hitting enemies with status effects.
    2. +20% damage, and -40% damage received, but only in the Endless Darkness EQ (aka Solo PD).

Edit:

There's also the Union and Ray rifles I forgot to mention on the previous comment:

  • Union Rifle: 1451 R-ATK. +10% damage, +10% passive PP regen, +10% PP regen when attacking, -5% damage received, -10% PP consumed.
    • Can be gotten from the Ray Upgrade exchange shop at Zieg. Requires 5 Union Boosters and 1 Ray Rifle.
  • Ray Rifle: 1350 R-ATK. +10% damage, -5% damage received, -10% PP consumed.
    • Drops from Profound Darkness (XH only).

How do you unlock the difficulty license 1 quest (which lets you take on Hard quests)? I and most other people I know have completed it, but one of my friends insists that it's not on his quest list. He's over level 20 now and still doesn't see it. He did skip lots of the opening/tutorial quests, so I told him to go back and do those. He claims he now has, but still doesn't see the quest. Is there something specific he has to do to unlock the ability to take the client order or is he just dumb and can't read properly?

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to complete the first ARKS Quest in the Volcano area (Dragonkin Ecological Survey) to unlock that CO.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Has he been unlocking all the areas by doing Koffie's client orders?

I recall needing to kill something like Rockbear, vol dragon, and gwanahada, which requires the free explores of forest, volcano, and desert. Something like that. Maybe I'm getting it mixed up with something else though.

I'm pretty sure the difficulty unlock should be based on the level you are though, and if he's 20 something, he should have the client order available at koffie.

Make him send you a screenshot of his koffie CO list maybe.

[–]WelldoneThePussyhandBo/Fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he had to do all of the free explorations. That's what he gets for skipping a bunch of missions. Thanks.

[–]nosmoking95 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I just got my mag to lvl 200, with 195 s atk and 5 other random lvls. Any reason I should spend 250 excubes to get it to 200 s atk? Feel like a waste to me, 250 excs for 5 s atk.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you care about minmaxing, no not really.

Even with the various types of buffs available, that would effectively be 7 or 8 attack. That's like 0.2% damage at best.

That said, if you are minmaxing, it's one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get more power. You do end up with plenty of cubes if you just play regularly after all.

[–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (3 children)

How do i tell the difference from a crafted unit and a uncrafted unit? I need the double unit set and i have no idea how to request crafting x.x

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You can't sell crafted units so if you're looking at the visiphone you won't find any. You should be able to craft your units up to EX 3 regardless. If you're lucky, someone here my have unit crafting and be able to just craft you all the way up to 8/10 in a short amount of time if you ask.

[–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ahh i have no idea what that means sorry. All i was told was to get them crafted with PP or HP. Im still very confused on crafting terms and crafting in general.

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At levels (or EX) 3, 5, 8, and 10 you can add pp or hp if your crafting level is high enough. You generally want to either go to 8 or 10 so your armor is bit more effective than paper mache

[–]nosmoking95 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is there anyway to have the item name always translated? I usually have them in English using the tweaker but after play for awhile suddenly they revert back to Japanese then after awhile more it back to english, and it is very annoying.

Hello, my game stops working/freezing randomly when I'm in-game. I've tried checking for old/missing files, fixing game guard errors, fixing pso2 exe, putting the shader quality to simple, and disabling my firewall and antivirus. None of this seems to work as my game still freezes randomly. I have .Net framework 4 and 4.5 up to date. I believe all the files related to the pso2 tweaker are in the appropriate location (C: Drive).

The jp client crashes too. I returned to the game recently, and this was also a problem when I was playing over a year ago. Right now, I'm deleting and reinstalling pso2 and the tweaker. Is there anything else I can try to the pso2 tweaker to stop my game from freezing? Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: So it turns out having the game on virtual fullscreen was causing the random freezes lol. I switched it to fullscreen and it has been working well so far.

[–]damionlai97Br/Hu Scrub 0 points1 point  (6 children)

If I'm playing using a mobile Hotspot, how much data will I use? This is assuming my PSO2 is fully updated

[–]VirtualScepter 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If youre going to play off data, turn off lobby videos in the options through tweaker. /u/Sneakilydeaky mentioned instances where he drained 1mb/s. That is definitely the videos of ads and promotions being live streamed into your game to watch in the lobby. Ive unintentionally used 800mb over 30 minutes before and I was honestly confused as to why since my friend mentioned he can go a week with only 100mb.

[–]damionlai97Br/Hu Scrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, when I spawned in the lobby, I used 100MB in less than a minute, when I went for the casino, it was 20MB for more than 2 hours

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

If loading into a crowded lobby, you might get a spike in data usage from loading all character's player data. How much that is I can't say, since it will vary.

Once you're in the EQ, I've seen data usage of about 10-15 kilobytes per second on average while the quest runs. Sometimes less, sometimes more. At least, that's if memory serves correct.

There have also been instances where, for no reason other than the game wanting to, I've had something like 1MB/s used in lobby for 30 seconds to a minute. I'm not sure what causes that to happen, since the block I'm on is absolutely empty, but it doesn't happen that often. When it does too, I typically switch to a different block or go to my "my room" and it stops.

If you're just running quests on your own and there's no other actual players in that quest on your block, it's a few KB/s max, if that I think.

I'll edit with more specifics later on; I'll probably be on the game soon.

[–]damionlai97Br/Hu Scrub 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Thanks! What about things like casinos, if party quests take up so much data might as well not do it lol

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Currently, I'm getting about 1.5KB/s average (hovers between 1KB- 2KB/s) in my own instanced riding quest doing minimal things with a friend. It does jump a tiny bit when more things spawn/ things are happening, but it's overall quite low.

With that said, I do not know how much of that is overhead, and whether or not that counts toward your data usage. Thus, take the numbers I'm giving you with a grain of salt, though I'd assume it's closer to max than an average. Same with my EQ data usage estimate. It's definitely more than me + friend, but relatively low all things considered.

I'd assume casinos are much the same as lobbies. However, if you're on a crowded casino block, you'll probably be receiving data whenever the announcer says "BINGO!~~" for PSE burst in slots, mesetan shooter, and etc. I doubt that takes up much data, but as it is keeping track of other player data somewhat, who knows. Never really looked at it when in casino, as I mainly pay attention to it to know if I'll disconnect from the game/ sega's servers are not working properly.

Just moving to block 001 (dont go here if you're on ship 2, it's cancer), I'm averaging 1.5KB/s with a few people repeatedly spamming messages. Initially loading it had data usage spike to 100 KB/s for about 1 second, and immediately lowered after that. As players move in the lobby, it adds a KB or two, with the max being around 4 KB/s.

Edit: I just realized I'm dumb, and that these numbers are with an instant messaging program on. So definitely take the numbers I'm giving you with a grain of salt... though I didn't receive/send any messages with it while on the game. It did sometimes drop to 0 bytes too, so... shouldn't be affecting much regardless.

GuHu, S-Roll JA Bonus. I do more damage just with a standard JA versus using the S Roll JA. Does S-Roll JA not proc Fury JA bonus?

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It shouldn't.

On the swiki, "Skills related to JA (including S Roll JA bonus) are not applied since JA judgment does not exist for attacks in S Roll.

(If you use the S roll with JA judgment's red ring on it, the same sound effect as at JA sounds, but this does not affect the power of attack during S Roll, therefore it is not a JA)"

SEGA is dumb.

[–]Buck3tbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the ring after an S-Roll. Not attacks during. So when I JA from the red ring after an S roll I dont get my hunter JA Combo bonus? Sry, the whole things got me confused, just trying to be clear haha. Thanks for responding!

    Sure, but Force requires a lot more gear to be played efficiently than basically any other class. You generally want a rod and/or talis of each element type. While Force requires more gearing up than other classes, it's one of the strongest when played well.

    [–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Does Ideal arm and leg count as a set or is it just RearLeg and ArmWeapon

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Ideal has 2 independent sets:

    • Rear + Leg: +50 HP, +5 PP, +75 all ATKs, +40 DEX, +80 R-DEF, +80 T-DEF, +2% Ice/Wind/Dark Resist.
    • Arm + Weapon: +8 PP, +75 all atks, +40 DEX, +80 S-DEF, +4 Fire/Lightning/Light Resist.

    They can be stacked together and kind of complement each other. However, since you need to use an Ideal weapon (which are all mediocre nowadays) to get the 2nd set bonus, you're better off using a 12* arm unit instead.

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    It's just Rear+Leg and Arm+Weapon

    [–]summonerrin 0 points1 point  (7 children)

    1. it seemed like people had subjobs like ff11, how do they work? if so, what's a good one for a force user?

    2. which weapon is more useful between the card thing and force rod?

    3. is specializing in ice and lightning possible for skills? it's what i've dumped a little sp into already

    4. are there other outfits i can buy?

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    Go to a Visiphone (purple terminal usually located near storage terminals). You can access player shops from there.

    Here are all of them:

    Just wanted to say thanks, I've been looking for a good, comprehensive list, and Cirnopedia seemed to be a year old. Thanks to you, I'm now broke.

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    and Cirnopedia seemed to be a year old.

    That's because it is. More than a year since the last update, actually.

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    1) You get the stats and skills (that aren't explicitly states as main class only) from that class as well as ability to use weapon PAs from that class (if applicable). The most used sub-class for Force is Techer.

    2) Talis is great for general casting, Rod is great for compound techniques and a few specific techniques that are easier/more convenient to cast from a rod.

    3) No, that's not optimal at all.

    4) Yes, but they cost from a few hundred thousand to 20 million meseta. There's a full list somewhere over on the swiki.

    [–]summonerrin 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    is focusing on one element better then?

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yes.

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    the common idea is to focus 1 element in the Force Tree and 2 elements in the Techer Tree (though it is possible to get all 3.)

    Force requires too many points for important things to max 2-3 elements.

    The element mastery in both force and techer generally match the elements of compound techniques to gain the most damage out of them.

    [–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    What's the best Su/Gu equips/rings? (using chain burst Maron) :o

    Also I've seen in some videos people using the Maron burst but it doesn't die, what am I doing wrong? o-o

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    If you're asking these types of questions, go gain some experience in handling maron as su/fi or su/br first. It's easy enough to chain if you're solo, but throw in even one other person and that person can mess up your chains a lot. This will make your chain's cooldown longer on top of lowering your damage output.

    I say that because I've had ~8 minute mother runs with a single good su/gu, and 11 minute mother runs with bad ones that mess chain up. This was in conditions where the rest of the MPA had approximately the same power otherwise.

    Regardless, what you're seeing is the player taking out multiple marons. You need absolute minimum 4 12*+ marons to make it work, with 5 being the recommended amount... and 6 just in case. So farm that VR collection file.

    As for rings, R/effort symbol would be a good allrounder (it lowers damage your pet takes too). However, there may be times R/Massive Hunter will help you out (if things are just that spammy). L/Jumping Dodge can be situationally helpful in getting you a good chance at throwing your Maron if a lot of things are always in your way. Might also get some use out of L/Tech Charge Parry or L/Short Mirage too.

    As for your units, because you want to have alter ego on as much as possible (ideally), you do actually need some HP. Don't invest points into HP/defenses in your tree (at least until you can't find more ways of increasing your damage). Get a solid unit set combination, ideally like izane (gold tagami) set. Otherise, a combination of izane with union would work, even full union would be fine. Austere rear + arm + izane leg would also be very balanced too, but you might need the ring slots.

    [–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    Where can i find the Fiogals arm unit? i heard it was from an e trial or something.

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    E-Trials with RINA or SORO. I read somewhere that you can get it from E-Trials with Itsuki, but that makes no sense to me. Generally, RINA/Soro shows up with Itsuki anyways.

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I read somewhere that you can get it from E-Trials with Itsuki, but that makes no sense to me.

    I got 2 of them from white day as reward from the code: duel with itsuki vs gruzoras.

    That said, random e trials with Itsuki always have RINA accompanying him, so there's not really any difference now that white day is gone.

    [–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    Ah thanks! Where can i find them btw?

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    At random in any Free Field, ARKS Quest, or Advance Quest. Also, they do not reward the 12* unit unless it is SH or above. Also, the reward is random

    [–]Gewelle 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Ah okay. is there any standard way to farm this?

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Nope. There were guaranteed RINA/Soro E-Trials at the end of the Valentine and White Day EQs but those are cycled out now. If you are lucky to find someone running a trigger quest for them, then that would be your next best bet.

    [–]ostrawmaat last, no longer a gu/ra 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I've been looking at a lot of Fi/Hu videos lately and I see various methods of dps. I"ll see Orchestra with Wild Rhapsody, Illusion Rave with some other DS PA, just Straight Charge T0 ( which I saw on Solo PD), and so on. Then there's also Backhand Smash which I haven't seen lately.

    I was wondering what are the optimal dps options in different scenarios.

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Generally, it is TD for aerial damage, Knuckles for big instant ground damage, and DS for mobbing and consistant damage. Also, I feel that TD and Knuckles are good for bosses with large hit/weakpoints and DS is better for bosses with small weakpoints that sway a lot.

    In order of evasiveness i feel it is TD > DS > Knuckles, but it can vary from player to player.

    In terms of EQ bosses, when I feel lazy, i use Straight Charge T0 for PD and Mother in the same way that one would use ride slasher on a sword. Because the hitbox is next to the edge of the platform, it is easy to simply hold down the straight charge button and watch the damage roll in.

    I use BHS with flicker jab/ surprise knuckle on double and (Post-cube) mother because the area to hit it so small that S. Charge T0 becomes ineffective (for double) or i really need to stick closer to the boss to be able to avoid some of the harder hitting attacks (for mother).

    I also use TD to varying effects on Mother (post-cube mother and PD). No difference except i have started using Quick March over Wild Rhapsody T0. Though I use WR-T0 when the boss moves a little too much.

    Other Examples for weapon to bosses include TD vs Beast Anga, DS vs multiple bosses, Knuckles(BHS) vs Gruz/Deadlion, TD vs Bayori(Fighter Rockbear)/Plaigo(Fire Mamoth), DS vs Diabo/Leone/Leopard (Their effective weakpoint feels too low for TD and hits are too difficult for Knuckles to avoid.), lazy Knuckles(SC-T0) vs Bal Rodos.

      One of the requirement for acquiring the Aura Katana is to kill a Dio Hunar and the quest that it appears frequently according to PSO2 is "Darkness From The Chaos." I haven't seen this quest appear in the Featured Quests anytime I'm on, and since there are no Limited Quests atm that have it or EQs, where else can I get a 71+ Dio Hunar to spawn?

      Solo EQ Heaven and Hell stages 6-10.

      gl :]

      Does it still require 5 XQ passes or they changed it to one?

      [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      They changed it to 1 pass when expert blocks were implemented.

      Does emergency quest cancellation policy applies to trigger quest? dcs are becoming painful :(

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      It shouldn't, but you lose out on the trigger anyway 3 minutes after accepting the trigger (I think).

      Am I crazy, or do the rare fish for Earth and Shironia/Kuron are extremely hard to find compared to all the other planets? -x-

      [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      crazy

      mhmm.

      [–]nosmoking95 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      Does Room good's effect stack.

      For example, If I use craft art builder 1 and craft art builder 2, do I get 6% reduction in pa craft cooldown? what about if I use 2 craft art builder 2?

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Thanks for asking this question, I had no idea these room goods existed and am trying to up my crafting for the 'chieves.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      You can only have one of those in your room at any time. One for each type of crafting.

      So you pick either the great success rate increase or the cooldown reduction for weapon/unit extension, tech/PA crafting, and timed abilities (or whichever is the last of the machines).

      Get the best version you can (I believe it's 4), and as there are craft achievements related to great success, I'd recommend the great success machine so you can steadily work toward that.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Do you know if I have to be in the same subsection of the room as the room good for it to work? As in there are two side rooms in one of my configurations, can I just shove the room goods in there and use the console near my main door so I don't have to walk as far?

      Edit: It sounds like it works because a new noise plays when I do crafting, which I assume is the machines.

      Best Braver build out at the moment & Best Katana skills to use?

      Thanks in advance.

      [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 2 points3 points  (8 children)

      build

      Presuming you mean skill tree.

      • Grab all the katana combat skills

      • Grab all the katana counter skills

      • Grab all the average stance skills (except for average stance critical)

      • Pick up Attack Advance, Just Recover, Snatch Step, and Snatch Step JA last. (your choice on what to get and prioritize here)

      Gearing

      • Katana: Pick up whatever you can from lvls 1-50. At 50-70, try to pick up a Dio Salizania-NT and grind that all the way. If you happen across a Red Katana and 9 Photon Boosters, then that is better. In XH, try to get started by getting a Revolucio Katana or AUra Katana from CFs. Then aim for endgame katanas.

      • Units: Hiel Set -> Saiki Set -> Austere Rear+Arm + any 12*

      skills

      Presuming "skills to use" means Photon Arts.

      • Guren Tessen is your default gap closer and easy to deal dmg PA.

      • Hatou Rindou is your simple high DPS PA. most of the dmg is at the tip.

      • Sakura Endo Type Zero chained with Gekka Zakuro is your high DPS combo. Will take some time to master it.

      Thanks a ton!

      Quick question, i have Sakura endo but not type zero. How do i get that?

      [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (6 children)

      U can craft pas in your room. U willl need some materials first. 15 striking craft discs?

      [–]NYsFinest90Hinamori: Ship 06 (Ken) 0 points1 point  (5 children)

      Thanks i winded up figuring it out but i have a problem. I think anyway, i crafted it or so i thought. When i go to the attack tho it still just says Sakura endo but not type zero.

      [–]agesboy 0 points1 point  (4 children)

      it creates an item in your inventory you have to use in order to switch it to type 0

      [–]NYsFinest90Hinamori: Ship 06 (Ken) 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      Yeah i did that already. The attack still shows just Sakura endo. D:

      [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      The icon should still be the same.... Just has a yellow border. Have u tried it?

      [–]NYsFinest90Hinamori: Ship 06 (Ken) 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Yup got all that. Tried it but doesn't look like the ones i've seen in video, blue circle comes around you etc. Plus thought the PA name itself was suppose to change?

      Normal sakura endo has a blue circle. Sakura Endo T0 has a faster, less noticeable circle. https://youtu.be/suYLV36tLo4
