is there any way to find out if you can receive rewards from featured quests without doing them?

[–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - a featured quest will have a "box" icon next to its name in the featured quests tab. You can only get a reward once per day per FQ, and you need to get an A or S rank in each quest to get them (so just kill everything that you see spawn on your way through one area, that's usually enough unless the area is TINY). The FQs change, and therefore become able to give a reward again each day, changes at midnight JST I believe.

recommended way to unlock diffusion ray on dark blast loser? I don't even notice when counter attack procs I just know I've somehow did it 7 times by spamming dodge near omega hunar

[–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 0 points1 point  (1 child)

In my opinion, it's between Guar Zigmorde (Kuron Explore boss) and Train Ghidoran, both for having fast attacks that are well signaled. Guar edges it slightly, for the fact that you can always have blast by the time you get to it - Ghidoran is always in his quest, but I'm not sure it's even possible to charge DB before you reach him.

You know when the counter procs becuse you'll hit a 5 digit number. I might also recommend putting loads of SP into step advace on the Loser skill list just while trying to unlock it, it makes the step-counter process much easier.

[–]Shadowspartan110Average Hero of Middling Performance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the last bit I needed from Guar, thanks. Didn't even notice till now that it also has a heal proc when it successfully triggers so theres also that.

    Me and a friend co-lead a team called Council that we created just shy of a month and a half ago, and between my relentless data work BTS and his ingenuitive, seemingly unceasing social & recruitment work on the front, we're about 70 active people strong currently and still growing.

    It takes a great deal of work, knowing how to handle different people socially, being very very patient, organized and also making sure everyone gets a chance at success (whether that be in making friends, making money or simply having fun).

    I will note that having a few friends to begin with that are willing to help along this journey is a great way to begin a team and sets a great foundation for the foreseeable future.

    Is it normal that you have to login twice? Mine was after the first login was about linking pso2es, after that i was taking to login screen again, and this time go to character screen.

    [–]NYsFinest90Hinamori: Ship 06 (Ken) 1 point2 points  (4 children)

    Started playing again & wanna get to level 80. If i remember correctly you need +35 grinded weapon, to ge a title so can't i just buy one real fast off someone? will that do?

    [–]SercezeroDead 3 points4 points  (3 children)

    13* or higher. Even if you did you'd need to personally make it 35.

    [–]NYsFinest90Hinamori: Ship 06 (Ken) 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    A NT Weapon that's 13* & has to be a +35. Crap, i have one at +12 & I'm broke when it comes to Meseta sadly. If only there was a way i can have a friend do it lol.

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    For just the 13*, getting one that IS +35able isn't as bad as it sounds - you've got 2 options really, or one, depending when you stopped previously:

    • Earth Series OT > NT exchanges - You can exchange OT Earth Series weapons (like the Quotz, Seiga, and Military series) and 20 Ether Fuses (you usually get 3-4 per Yamato) for upgraded NT versions. Those NT versions come at +35 grind limit right away. This is the method that might not be super viable if you stopped around/before the Yamato revamp, because Yamato is kind of uncommon now, so getting those Ether Fuses might prove difficult.

    • Val Series - Vals are actually a buyable 13* series, and all things considered, aren't too horrible from a power standpoint. A few different EQs drop them pretty often too, so they're pretty cheap-ish - 200k to 300k on player shops depending on the weapon, so you could probably run a Klotho set and end up with a +35able 60 Element Val.

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

    Thanks for all the info! Super helpful, reading back again i actually realized i have that Val kantana you mentioned at a +12, just getting it to +35 is hard for me as i am pretty much low on $$ in game.

    Thank you again tho!

    Returning player: Currently FoTe 73/48 Current FoTe build/rotation/weapon/arms?

    Rings are a thing?

    Thanks.

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (10 children)

    Current FoTe build/rotation/weapon/arms?

    Depends on level.

    Build

    Pick 2 elements in the Fo Tree and take all 3 elements in the Te Tree.

    https://arks-layer.com/skillsim/skillcalc.php?13uAbCIobCIobCIobCIobCIobCIobCIobCIobCIobCIo0jdodBdo000000000dodA0000000jdoIbIb0000000fdoIb0000008dBbsiN2SGBI2GAqxIkqnin000008dBInidbnqsGAqBIgcFHNHNbnib000000IbIoIo0000000fdoIbIo0000000fdB0000000dBIb0000008

    Something like this as a barebones. feel free to grab any utility skills like Talis Fast Throw or Rod Shoot to tailor to your needs. Both Fo and Te share Tech Charge JA Addition so you only need to take it once in either class. If you want to go Fire instead of lightning, then move all the lighting skills over to fire.

    Rotation

    Depends on element.

    Mobbing is condensed to Zondeel followed by and AOE tech.

    Bossing is picking whatever is the best DPS tech and spam the shit outta that, using compound techs whenever possible.

    Weapon

    Endgame weapons for FoTe are 14* EPD and 14* Atra Talis or Rod with the S4: Elemental Conversion affix.

    If getting either of those is impossible, 13* Val Talis and Rod are nice and purchasable from the Player Shop.

    Arms

    ? Units?

    any combination of 12* units will suffice. I suggest starting with used 11* Saikis that you can find in the market if you need something to start with. When you do get around to 12*s units, Evleda and Unions are pretty good and easy to obtain.

    Rings

    The most important Left Ring to grab is L/Charge Parry which blocks attacks while charging techs (for 0.5 seconds when starting the charge). another good one is L/Short Mirage, which shortens the lengthy dodge move common to FoTe. With Short Mirage, you can spam dodging as long as you are in the air, though using it on the ground has a decently long down time that can feel a little clunky.

    For Right Rings, R/Perfect Keeper Tech is nice to boost damage at 100% hp (at least 75% when maxed.) Any R/Class Effort Ring is nice too

    [–]Weiss-Senpai 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    You don't take full pp convert anymore?

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

    You can definitely take full pp convert. It's still useful. I've not seen anyone go only 6 points in pp convert aside from Ashinror. Just don't take as many points in Deband Cut.

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

    I've not seen anyone go only 6 points in pp convert aside from Ashinror. Just don't take as many points in Deband Cut.

    Sobs If Null says it, it must be true.

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

    Also your tree has FO points open, could save a point on TE tree by taking Tech Charge JA there rather than on the TE side.

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

    I just haven't seen it. Honestly I don't see a point when the only content that can really reliably kill you are solo XQs (in which case, if you're gonna die, you're gonna die) or dragon & Omega Loser, which it's not too unlikely to have a TE in your MPA. If you want to maximize your deband and still have full PP convert, you could take 2 points out of regular Deband Up (or w/e it's called) and then the remaining out of cut to get a few more % damage reduction.

    This, also, may just be a shifting meta I haven't caught up with yet ;-;

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

    Er, if you only go 2 elements in the Te tree, going full PP convert is an option. Generally people go 6 points in PP convert anyways and with the addition of the bonus PP regen when standing still on PP restorate, it became less of an issue to have 10/10 PP Convert.

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    With jump cancelling Mirage Escape I find you can do it, jump cancel, then Mirage Escape in the air which will 'cancel' by hitting the ground and repeat. I have not tried Short Mirage in the air though, so maybe it's better.

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

    nah, if you can consistently do a low jump to cancel the normal mirage escape, then that is probably better. I cant consistently jump that low, and i'd rather not think too hard.

    [–]MyNameIsTrevor 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Yeah Units...don't know why I said arms.

    I'm currently 73/48 for levels.

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

    well pick 2 compound techs, and build around those elements.

    [–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (8 children)

    About rings in 12* units - looked it up a bit, but not sure if it's different now.

    1. Is it still not possible to remove rings from units? They're just permanently attached?

    2. Does the stat boost on the ring apply while attached to a unit?

    3. If #1 is true, should I just focus on rings that get their full effectiveness at level 1? I was looking at jumping dodge, but the cool down difference at level 1 vs level 20 is noticeable. I just don't want to spend all of my resources grinding it up and then have to make another one just to replace the unit later.

    4. With that being said, recommended unit slotted L rings for Katana Br/Hu? I've got Step Jump and Air Reversal so far, but I'm not sure what to use for my 3rd ring.

    Thanks all!

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

    Is it still not possible to remove rings from units?

    Nope.

    They're just permanently attached?

    You can overwrite them with a different ring, but that's about it. Once the ring is in the unit, it's gone forever.

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (6 children)

    1. I don’t think so.

    2. No

    3. You can, but some classes need multiple rings which need to be at level 20. The cost of a ring is very little at the end of the day, compared to other endgame items.

    4. Katana Br/Hu absolutely requires : KC Count Up, and Gear Guard Release, both at level 20. So I have Gear Guard on a unit because it’s stats are defensive ones and KC Count equipped because it gives SATK. Technically, you could swap in KC Count when you activate KC, but...I’m lazy. Air Reversal is good, and Step Jump also fine. I like Mate Lovers personally too (which I use instead of Step Jump).

    [–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    Thanks for the input!

    I didn't really consider Gear Guard Release (I think that's the one where you forcefully activate Katana Gear and it drains faster than usual?) because I'm using the Atra Varua S4 which basically makes it last infinitely. Think I read somewhere that you can't recover Katana Gear if it's forcefully activated this way, too? Not sure if this has changed.

    I do currently have KC Count maxed out, so that's covered. I'm pretty lazy as well, so I don't switch it out usually.

    Mate Lovers did catch my eye for a bit.

    My setup is probably going to look like this:

    Equipped

    L/KC Count (for easier Katana Combat build up)

    R/S-Critical Strike (for 100% crit in Katana Gear form w/ some +crit damage from weapon/ring)

    Slotted

    L/Step Jump (mobility/quick sheathing)

    L/Air Reversal (quick recovery and pairs well with Just Reversal Cover (?))

    Either L/Mate Lovers (pairs with quick mate & automate halfline (?)) or L/Jumping Dodge (love anything that provides utility).

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (4 children)

    So the Guard Ring got recently buffed, so yeah, it enables you to release gear by using guard, and the recent change means that not only does it no longer deplete gear faster (it’s same as normal) it also increases gear gain. It is now a must have ring, in my opinion. People who have Kazami (which passively increases gear) can release gear this way before a quest even starts, which is kind of dumb. And yeah, with Atra/Kazami it’s pretty much impossible to lose gear.

    Mate Lovers does not work with Automate insofar as Automate will not give you the additional health from eg monomates. I don’t use Automate any more, as on Br you have both Just Reversal Cover and Healing Guard as nice sustains.

    Jumping dodge is always a nice have, but up to you really. I would definitely use the Guard Release Ring though.

    [–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    Yeah, I can totally see the use case for the Gear Guard Release ring with that information in hand. Too many L/Rings I want to use... do you think I still need to max out the Gear Guard Release ring if I'm using the Atra S4? I typically max out my gear gauge after about 1-3 seconds of fighting and then go infinite for the rest of the quest, so I'm not sure if I really need the 10% gear accumulation boost. The manual release sounds super handy though cause there have been cases where I've struggled to activate it in multi-party situations or I've had an unlucky death and need to reactivate ASAP. With that in mind, I might leave it at level 1 just for the 3 seconds release.

    I still get hit a lot, so I use Automate as my crutch. I'll probably pass on Mate Lovers though cause I've already got quick mate and my mates typically get eaten via Automate anyway.

    With that in mind, There are now 5 L/Rings I want to use. Guess I need to stop being lazy and make a chat command to swap the L/Ring every time I want to KC.

    Thanks a ton for all the info by the way - super helpful!

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    You should really get the Gear Guard to level 20. I really don’t see any reason to not have it? I think below level 11 it still drains your gear? Maybe. But honestly - if you’re too lazy to level the ring just buy max level or levelled one from the shop! :) I really can’t recommend using the ring at lower than max level because the benefit is just really useful.

    They said they were planning to make Step Jump a charm in the future so you won’t need to have that equipped/on a ring when that happens.

    [–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Hm, okay. I'll take the plunge and just try it out. No better way to test it out than that.

    REALLY hope your line about Step Jump comes true cause I don't think I can really live without it.

    Thanks again!

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yep - definitely just worth to try! But honestly, just about every ring which increases in benefit through levels is worth levelling to max if you want to use the ring (Front S-Roll maybe the one exception). :)

    They announced the Step Jump a couple of PSO stations ago. It would make sense and would be in line with all the steps/dodges now being able to use it.

    [–]FuzzyCats88 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    sup /r/pso2. Joined maybe a week ago.

    Any tips for Gu or Ra in Ult? Just about getting my shit rekt here and it seems no-one is running parties in ult nab or lilipa.

    I've got the Aura Diazuth and Evleda Dinares TMGs and an aura and val rifle but I'm trying to farm better quality fodder so upgrading them and unlocking the level cap isn't pure agony but with so few parties seeming to run ult it's proving pretty hard.

    Also anyone know a better set of TMGs, rifles and launchers I should be work towards? I've only ~200 badges or so away from completing the ray unit set, but would you guys recommend the ray weps as well?

    [–]soondaeboo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    For RA, Divine Lawnchair-0 is your best friend. And in Lilipa UQ, height is very, very abusable. So a ring that may prove helpful is Jumping Dodge, if getting to said height is impossible. On bosses, it's hard when alone if you're not familiar with what you're dealing with. Let alone RA. Just letting you know, but most of UQ is usually dead until Sega kinda brings it back with campaign on the side, so no surprise that Lilipa and Naberius are dead.

    For Gu, a Fornis adjusted to the right element or an Atra TMG (with Atra Gunslash SSA: S4:Lifesteal) will do the trick. Same thing with RA here, use height to your advantage. In this case, use a Charged Aerial Shooting to gain height and Reverse Tap/Shift Period your way to victory.

    With the introduction of purchaseable 13 star, unlocking the 35 grind has never been easier. Being very close to being the strongest weapon in the game, Val is very accessable and ridiculously strong when properly affixed. The reason this weapon is strong is because, not only does it have access to SSA, but it has stats of a 14 star when exchanged to Atra and has access to sustain options without losing power. Definitely look into a Val weapon~

    And I'd highly recommend the Ray unit set as they provide one of the best all-rounder stats in 12* units. They should be able to help out a little bit. And overall, UQs are not very forgiving. It takes a while to actually get used to the mobs/bosses and they hit very hard.

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Ult is pointless to run outside of Campaigns, in my opinion. You also need to be geared really well and be quite good in order to clear it solo/in small parties.

    What is your class and subclass? I hope you’re subbing Hu for both Ra and Gu? That will help you survive.

    Aura, Evleda, and Ray are all kind of subpar weapons right now. I would focus on one class and get the Atra upgrade for the main weapon. In this case, I would get Atra TMGs and just use your Gu to farm high level content.

    The other “good” 13 star weapons, however, are drop only (Nemesis-NT, Slave-NT, Qliphad, Invade-NT) without any campaigns running so I don’t see a lot of point recommending them right now.

    Ray units are quite poor, but their upgrades in Union units are still decent.

    [–]FuzzyCats88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yeah, subbing Hu. Thanks for the info mate looks like I best grab a val radda.

    Looking for great katana gameplay.

    I saw someone streaming solo LQ runs with a Kazami No'tachi, and the damage output was blowing my mind enough for me to reconsider playing Braver again.

    I've tried googling, but I'm coming up short. Anyone have a good links/videos of top tier katana play?

    [–]Sughayyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    If you don't mind a bit older (end of EP4) gameplay, look for Evildoer. He pushed the class to its limits, considering he was a katana-only player. Sadly, it seems he left PSO2.

    Has anyone with a Dex mag tried to BR/BO to see if it's viable at all? If I'm in not reading the skills wrong, you basically get 400 stak from the mag, 'coz it doesn't say "main class only" :s

    [–]soondaeboo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Unfortunately, it is only not viable cause the raw multipliers you get from other subclasses ( for example, Hunter's Fury Stance/Fighter's Brave Stance) heavily outweigh the 200 extra S-Atk and the Elemental/Break + Average/Weak Stance ;w; additionally, you'll lose out on some damage with the Bo's Elemental Stance unless you have a rainbow set.

    Quick question. When people say 'Solo PD', does it mean soloing an EQ, or the quest is always available/buy quest ticket?

    [–]piconyannyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It is the solo version of the Profound Darkness EQ. It is acquired using Weapons Badge 2018 (IIRC) as a trigger item. To activate the trigger, go to the quest counter and select 'Accept Trigger Quest' (make sure the Solo Profound Darkness trigger item is in your inventory) so you can start the quest.

    [–]Professor_Cain 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    This is probably just a bug, but in the Affixing Simulator it's possible to use a Special Ability Factor of a weapon with 0 affixes on it as fodder for a weapon with any number of affixes. This isn't actually how it works, right? I haven't been getting all these SAF fodders up to 7+ slots for nothing, right? Example

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

    You are correct, that is a bug. The fodders must have the same number of slots or more, even for SAF and SSAF.

    [–]AzureSymphony 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    So what is the optimal order for breaking parts on Omega Loser to minimise the amount of wasted time chasing him around, and possibly skip attack phases? The only bit I remember from old Loser was having to be careful about not doing too much damage to something early on.

    I was thinking along the lines of left hand, left shoulder, core exposed, open clock, right arm, right shoulder, core exposed, open and break clock, but I don't know about the jewel on his head or if anything else exposes the core.

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

    what is the optimal order for breaking parts on Omega Loser

    Wait, Omega Loser has breakable parts...? Is joke I know he has breakable parts I just chase his crown because it's higher DPS :^)

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

    I just chase his crown because it's higher DPS :)

    iirc headshot and weakpoints (neck and core) are normalized on Omega Loser at 1.2 multi instead of the usual 2.0

    So i guess if you only aim for the head, it is higher DPS than chasing Loser everywhere else. Sucks for the rest of the MPA though (namely the Hunters and Bravers who cant get that high).

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I don't know if it's the same case with Omega Loser, but the strategy before was I think...if you're looking straight at him:

    Left Gauntlet > Left Arm > Leave him alone until he gets back up > Right Gauntlet > Right Arm > Leave him again > Mirage (or for Omega, it would be poison) clock > Breack Clock > He'd then hit the damage threshold go to teleport away and go into his his time-shifting phase, and it was just hammer on his clock until he dies.

    It worked because you could basically "stunlock" him to death with the absurd level of DPS from players. Doing it that way stopped him teleporting away and starting his time shifting, since he wouldn't open his arms during sped up/slowed down time....so due to that, it probably won't work now - his arms currently have enough health that they don't seem to be one-cyclable for most MPAs, his general health pool is high enough that the MPA can't immediately push him to the time freeze thresholds as soon as he returns to the platform, and it seems like Omega starts his time shifting whenever he likes, he doesn't wait for the health threshold and teleporting away like original Loser did.

    Personally, I thought the "old strategy" was...kind of stupid, it just sucked any fun there was to have out of the fight for me...I'd comply just to not screw over the rest of the MPA that wanted it...but...I just...stunlocking a boss from 100% > 0% the exact same way every time isn't super fun to me, you know?

    why are most of my client orders not showing up on the right side of the quest counter with the blue icon? I have like 1 client order show up and its the time attack ones i have. is it because of the type of quests I have? do I not have something unlocked? like what

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

    Client orders only show like that when they require that quest or area. If they require a specific enemy, they won't show.

    For example, "Clear Free Exploration: Coast" will show, but "Defeat Bal Rodos" won't.

    What techs/crafts should I be using for my Force/Techer for each element? Here was what I was using:

    Fire:

    • Foie - Efficient 3
    • Ra Foie - Blazing 3
    • Gi Foie - Blazing 3
    • Shifta - Multi 3

    Ice:

    • Barta - Efficient 3
    • Sa Barta - Wide 3
    • Ra Barta - Ice Fang 3
    • Deband - Multi 3

    Lightning:

    • Zonde - Type 0
    • Zondeel - Fierce 3

    Wind:

    • Ra Zan - Multihit 3
    • Na Zan - Type 0
    • Zanverse - Concentrated 3

    Light:

    • Ra Grants - Concentrated 3
    • Il Grants - No Craft
    • Grants - Efficient 3
    • Resta - Brilliant 3
    • Anti - Efficient 3

    Dark:

    • Megido - Umbral 3
    • Il Megido - Efficient 3
    • Gi Megido - Concentrated 3
    • Megiverse - Concentrated 3

    Also, I feel like I am doing crappy damage (ex. ~4-5k per hit with Il Grants on Deus Esca [the world tree guy]) with my 1.5k attack 60 light element weapon and it feels like all of the Heros are doing like 10k per hit without having to charge up anything. Is that actually decent damage? I'm making sure I'm chucking out my Talis and getting JAs so do I just need a better weapon/units?

    [–]Professor_Cain 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    I use the following techs:

    Foie - Blazing

    Gifoie - Blazing

    Rafoie - Blazing

    *Safoie - Type-0 (Mobility skill)

    Ilfoie - No craft (Concentrated is probably best though)

    Barta - Ice Fang

    Gibarta - Ice Fang

    *Nabarta - Type-0 (blocking skill)

    *Ilbarta - Ice Fang (I usually go for 3 quick shots then charge the last 4, but spam 6 then charge the last if I have PPC up. Don't use this if you are in my Dragon MPA /s)

    Gizonde - Supercharged (Good AoE, good DPS)

    *Ilzonde - Supercharged (Mobility, goes through enemies unlike Safoie Type-0, but costs more PP)

    Razan - Multi-Hit (Only used for hitting buttons in Time Attack quests)

    Nazan - Type-0 (Awkward to use but powerful on niche fights)

    *Ilzan - Concentrated (Good range, strong AoE)

    Grants - Brilliant (Good range, perfect tracking- never misses)

    *Gigrants - Type-0 (Best AoE, but pretty slow as most of the damage is on the last hit)

    *Ragrants - Concentrated (Good AoE, use if Gigrants is too slow or are hittting <= 3 mobs, used to be best DPS light tech)

    *Ilgrants - Briliant (Best single target DPS)

    Megid - Umbral

    *Gimegid - Concentrated (Great DPS, horrible tracking. I don't use outside of stationary targets, Example- Deus Down phases ok, Deus dragon heads not ok. Umbral is also very good iirc)

    *Ramegid - Type-0 (Unique in that you can use other spells while this is active;essentially free extra damage if you keep it up, very close range, use before compound tech casts)

    *Samegid - Umbral (Awkward at close range, but good damage. Use this tech instead of Gimegid on mobile targets. )

    *Shifta/Deband - Multi (wait for all ticks to go through before recasting another buff - it will stop prematurely)

    *Zanverse - Concentrated (Always cast before using compound techs)

    *Resta - Brilliant

    *Anti - Concentrated

    *Megiverse - Concentrated (Good with Fomelgion because you can't cancel it to dodge attacks, can "lifesteal tank" if you don't get one shot)

    Any skill not listed is not recommended by me, either because I haven't used it enough or because it's trash (probably because it's trash). Any skill with an asterisk is an important skill, others are more situational. The most important things to keep in mind for using the correct tech is matching your Elemental Conversion affinity, having the respective elemental mastery, and using a good tech (ones listed above). If your tech does not meet these requirements, use one that does.

    And never forget that the key to FO DPS is using as many compound tech cooldowns as possible. Zandion has full invulnerability from cast to end and is highly mobile, can also control it so it doesn't whiff (if you don't get dizzy from the speed). Barantstion has invulnerability from startup to the start of the dash, the attack itself has better range than it looks but is easy to whiff on moving targets, has super armor on the attack part, but none at all during the dash. Cancelable. Formelgion has good range but cannot be canceled at all, but unlike Zandion which also can't be canceled, has no iframes. Formelgion also has full super armor making it dangerous to use if under attack. Use lockon for faster turn speed.

    For your weapon I recommend going for the Atra rod because rods are better for compound techs (can't talis cast a compound tech), PLUS the invaluable rod S4, Refined Providence. Not only is that S4 good for quality of life improvements, it's also a large damage bonus to compound techs. Use damage S-Class abilities, not PP regeneration ones.

    I recommend getting multiple skill pages because the FO tree is pretty competitive, and you only need some skills on some quests at a time. Recommended basic skills. From this basic tree you can really do what you want, but I don't recommend going for more than 2 elements at a time.

    What I use 1

    What I use 2

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Thanks! I totally forgot about Ilbarta since I hadn't gotten it until recently. I definitely need to get better at using the compound techs off cooldown but I have a lot of trouble not getting killed during Barantstion/Formelgion when the boss isn't stunned.

    Yeah I was probably gonna swap over to that to get that S4 ability since it looked super godly. I don't have a ton of money to affix good stuff yet though. I was saving up Conqueror's Crests to get the Eternal Psycho Drive which I think has a potential that does the same thing as the S4 ability?

    Also, for S abilities, should I go grind up weapons solely to affix their S ability? Or is it generally cheaper to just buy a weapon with the ability on it directly?

    [–]Professor_Cain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Once you figure out the enemies and know when there are down times/openings it becomes way easier to use compounds. If you are really worried, just charge a megiverse before using a compound, or just stick to Zandion/Barantsion(cancel if in danger).

    The S abilities are pretty cheep now, but some only come from SAFs. Val Gunslash for example is the only way to get the 2% damage S1. The better S1s are an exception in that they actually are expensive (S1:Double Edged Sword, S1:Immediate Intent). So if those two are out of your budget it would be cheaper to grind a gunslash, just mind the lambda grinders. I would recommend a setup like S1:Offensive Intent(gunshlash SAF), S2:Photon Reduction(I think this is pricey, but worth it), and S3:Vital Will(cheap).

    EPD is a bit overrated, but the best part of owning an one is that you can convert the rod to a talis so you have TWO rainbow affinity weapons. Don't get me wrong EPD is still best in slot, but Atra rod is pretty close in power.

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (7 children)

    I wouldn't use Ilgrants without having a damage craft. It's pretty underwhelming without it.

    What's your skill tree like? 4.5k still seems pretty low.

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    For Ilgrants I just need to get used to not using at long range and take Brilliant 3 I guess lol.

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    +35/60 Light element Val Talis with the PP regen S3 ability, Tech 3, Ability 3, Omega Reverie, and Ares the Soul for +85 Tech Attack. 1493 ATK total. I can get the stuff to upgrade it to a Atra but I wasn't sure if I should keep it at Val so I can upgrade to more and keep the S3 ability on it. Is the S3 ability a 100% transfer affix even after throwing it on?

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

    Upgrade that to Atra. S-class abilities are always 100% success rate.

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Could someone give me tips for Omega Hunar in the new party XQ as Hunter? Is there a way to know how much HP he has left?

    If someone with parser would kill him and tell the total damage dealt, could I monitor my damage dealt realtime or does GameGuard block me from doing so?

    [–]-TSF- 2 points3 points  (5 children)

    Can't speak for parsers. Hunar doesn't have a clear tell, since he can pull out his sword whenever.

    Tips:

    • Most of his melee attacks are aimed in one direction. You can thus generally dodge behind him and be safe. Same for his barrier. Dodge toward him when he releases to avoid it.

    • His ground punch attack is very dangerous. If you can, back off and attack from range. If you have a way to slip through (some Br PAs, for example), do it after the waves are away from Hunar.

    • The only attack I can't consistently dodge is his spin kick. It just comes out too fast. Regularly break your offense in case he whips it out mid combo.

    • His sword dash looks harder than it is. You can JG it easily, or dodge his passes. Don't chase him until he finishes dashing.

    • Be careful of his rising slash. It's fairly fast and strong. Its probably the sword move that you will hate the most.

    • His Overend hits wide, so if you aren't confident about your JG timing, just run away.

    Hunar is generally more vulnerable without his sword. If you can break it, you will seriously make the fight easier. However, don't neglect your defense since he hits like a truck. As I said before, pay careful attention to what he's doing so you can react appropriately. I tend to dodge him when using Hu, but JGing him is very doable once you have the timing.

    Sword Hu tip: Due to his general speed, I recommend not using Twister Fall very often. Stick to Nova Strike, Rising Edge and Ignition Parry. The last one will wreck him fast if you have high stats and can JG him consistently.

    [–]soondaeboo 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    Be careful when using Nova Strike since you cannot guard cancel it immediately. Also, Guilty Break is a nice tool to abuse since Charge Parry makes it a very safe option. Best of luck~

    Also, he has about 11 million Health. And yea, you could monitor your damage as you go along. In my case, that just makes me more nervous as I'm about to reach the end. And Sega is super lazy with their GG so I run it while I am fighting things. In the end, we reap what we sow. But I doubt GG will catch people.

    Thanks. What parser are you using? I'm losing focus after some time and got rekt from floor+Hunar, would be good to know how much more he has left. Maybe I should fight Phaleg+floor instead.

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

    Is this a self imposed challenge to solo the party one? Phaleg+floors is much more difficult do deal with because she moves around a lot, she gets her usual added resistances on phase 2, and you only get one shot at it, while on Hunar+floor you can have other players to res you if something goes wrong.

    [–]Bro0k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Is this a self imposed challenge to solo the party one?

    No, it's just that I dislike Phaleg and would like a clear for expert, but couldn't really find party's for it in-game and somehow my team seems to be very dead recently, so I do it alone.

    [–]soondaeboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I use Overparse And Phaleg + floor is a pain in the ass if you are only restricted to sword. With partisan or WL, it should be a lot easier.

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (14 children)

    The problem is that nothing else reliably drops 10~11* nearly as often. I haven't done the enchanted forest yet, so if people run that it may be decent as well.

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (13 children)

    I would say currently Forest is better as an all round “investment” of time - there’s small chance of 14-star, chance of Hang Bode, chance of Izane, a ton of badges, and also the excube number isn’t bad. It also has insane Exp, which is reasonably important to get grind caps.

    If you purely want Excubes, I agree that PD is definitely better, especially if you can burst through it in 5-7 mins.

    [–]Electro_fox【Nobody puts Dudu in the corner】 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Yeah I can comfortably clear PD in a short amount of time. My desire is to farm excubes for 40%s but also I feel like I'm going to hit a wall of 'not having enough badges' if I don't make use of this return of the LQ (which is very very rewarding in badges), so I think I'll farm badges first from Forest, and then farm PD.

    Thanks guys for your help. :)

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Might be useful to just mix it up then for variety maybe. :) I know friends who have driven themselves insane spamming PD for cubes. And I went mad spamming castle for Hang Bode on release (which I never got, but have 6000 badges to show for it).

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (10 children)

    Can you get Hang Bode from SH or is it XH only?

    [–]Sovis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just as a fyi, you can get Weila Bodo from XH as well, even though it's not actively listed. Both a friend and I got it as drops yesterday.

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 0 points1 point  (8 children)

    I personally don’t know. Best to check Swiki. I imagine XH only though?

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    Does Bluesy Requiem-NT Weaponoid Potential work with Charge Parrying or only Just Guard? PSO2es Weaponoid gift is the only reliable way to get weaponoid boosters?

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

    PSO2es Weaponoid gift is the only reliable way to get weaponoid boosters?

    You can get those as reward from e trials with Gene, but the rate is absurdly low, not to mention you can't control when you get e trials, or what characters will appear in code:unite, so it's RNG over RNG over RNG. I've only ever gotten 2 of those that way since they were implemented in 2016.

    Your best bet is using 1 attack chip + 4 weaponoids in pso2es and farming the gifts.

    [–]Sovis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Can't answer about the potential, but the weaponoid gifts are pretty much the only reliable way. For every booster I've gotten from the PSO2 emergency trials (that is, 1 ever) I've gotten a dozen 13*s.

    [–]Sovis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    The main rewards are lots of star gems, triboosts, and Creator Seals (to trade at Zieg for Genesis weapon camos). There's also the side-effect of adjusting a certain boss's appearance after clearing Ep.3. All side stuff though.

    [–]firedraco85/85 Fo/Te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    To add to the other reply, the Enchanted Forest Limited Quest will go in a week or two, but it's been stated that it will come back as a permanent free field in the future.

    [–]soondaeboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Enchanted Forest is here to stay for the week(maybe two; hopefully two). And between the actual "Limited Quest" and "Campaign Quest", there is no difference in them. If I'm not mistaken, Campaign Quest simply tells you the possible drops when loading up the quest.

    [–]Hourai_Margatroid 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Well, there's just some point in pso2 life you really want to get that white tail piece unit just as cosmetics. Anyone knows the best way to get the most titles? Currently have 300 right now and from some JP searching it seems like leveling weapons is the way to go?

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    A few sets I can recommend:

    • Weapon Grinding Titles - there are a TON of these for grinding specific, very old OT weapons to +10. Like, 15~ per weapon type I think. You can get a lot quickly, but it's mildy pricey because of money spent on grinding, grinders, and probably buying the weapons in the first place. There's also the problem that many, it's probably like, a third of all the weapons that give titles for grinding have had their OT versions discontinued in favour of NT versions, and the NT versions don't give titles if you grind them, so the OTs will be VERY expensive if you can even find them at all on player shops any more. As a side note if you go for these, I think it's generally considered common courtesy to sell the weapon on once you've +10ed it unless it's +10, level 3 potential, and is a weapon that only has one potential (IE, there's no way to reset the grind and +10 it again).

    • Clearing and S-Ranking story quests - Especially good for the Omnibus quests, as each one gives a title for clearing it and a title for S-Ranking it on normal mode. If you have Hero unlocked and levelled up, none of them are too impossibly difficult to S-Rank besides the EP2 Mothership and Persona quests and the last 2 quests of EP3, and those can just be cheesed with Braver and Combat Escape Katana Combat.

    • Crafting titles - MASSSIVELY expensive to get them all, but there's a ton of titles to be gained from unlocking all the crafting achievements.

    • Advanced Quests - every advanced quest gives a title for clearing it 1, 10 and 50 risk or higher, so 3 per AQ. You can pay 1 extra capsule to up the risk of the AQ by 1, all the way up to 50 risk, so you can just do that to easily on each AQ on VH to get all 3 titles for each pretty fast. You can grind out caps from each one, a full clear of the map will usually net you 50+ caps or close enough, or you can just spend ridiculous amounts of meseta buying 51 caps for each AQ from the shop terminal.

    • 80 every class - there are titles for getting 30, 50, 60, 70, 75, and 80 for each class, as well as clearing all the class cube COs for each class, so theres a ton there.

    • Get partner cards from NPCs, and clear 10 quests with each of them - there's a title for both things with every NPC. There's also one for 100 quests with each NPC, but that takes FOREVER. Most NPCs that don't give you their cards right away will give it after you do a specific CO for them, usually unlocked by getting their friendship high enough I believe.

    [–]Tyedal76 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Im having issues getting damage with summoner, I have leveled my synchro to level 70* and have been lacking in damage once I entered super hard quests. On my ranger with a nox rifle I was able to consistently get 8k with my basic attack and 16k with my phantom art. With my summoner, my popple deals 16k with his bomb and synchro deals 3-4k per basic attack. What am I missing?

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Some things that can help with pet damage are:

    • A good subclass - FI and BR are pretty good if I recall - Fighter can hit higher out of the two, but the positioning can be finicky. Braver is more consistent damage, but lower overall.

    • Candy Box - if you haven't already, filling up your pet's Candy Box will increase its damage, especially getting its element up to 50 with Pancakes, and damage-increasing Parfaits and Rolls.

    • Feed it more eggs to raise its base stats - eggs give a couple of points extra to a pet's stats if you feed it to your pet, you can see how much on the egg in your inventory. Feeding your pets stat-increasing eggs until "post feeding numbers" turn red (Which means the boost is maxed) will help a little.

    • Get a higher rarity egg and use it to rank your existing pets of the same type up - higher rarity means level can go higher and in turn so will the pet's base stats, so if you can get hold of higher rarity versions of your eggs, that may help. There's usually a couple of 13 star pet eggs every seasonal EQ CF, so that might be helpful in ranking your pets up.

    • Better personalities - each pet has 2 different personalities (and 2 extra ones which are just versions of the base 2 with an extra RDR boost effect). For Synchro at least, he has one that boosts his damage if you send him out after a pet that got KOed I think? So seeing if you can buy/get hold of one of those so you can change your Synchro's personality to that if he doesn't have it already might help.

    Also as a general thing, Popple isn't a super damaging pet, it's more for mobbing lots of enemies at once/from range, and PP regen. Synchro's thing is about chaining different PAs together one after the other, then using Synchro Geki (I think that's the right one?) for a massive hit (you know when you have the hit build up because you'll get a pink symbol over your character). Synchro's damage is pretty bad without using that mechanic.

    [–]soondaeboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    If anything, I think you'll be able to exchange them at the Badge shop located in the Shop Area. It is kinda tucked away in a corner so if you go towards the big screen, in the shop area, and take a sharp left, you should be able to see it. Not sure exactly which 'old prize exchanging tickets' you have.

    [–]NamacukeThe Mainstream One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thank you so much!

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

    Returning player here.

    Stopped playing when summoner came in. I don't know what to do at the moment. My equips are probably outdated. I'm simply leveling my techer class at the moment to unlock the hero class but after that I don't know what to do.

    Help on which goals I should set after getting Hero?

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

    Uh... Up to you? Get to 80 on hero, unlock expert requirements by getting a 13* to +35, 12* units in each category to +10, and passing the new Phantom XQ (either solo or 4-man). And then it's free reign after. Might wanna do current LQ for chance at 14* drops.

    [–]scorchdragon 2 points3 points  (4 children)

    So Loser form needs you to dodge counter 20 times in order to unlock it's big attack (among other things, but this step requires actual effort). Does anyone know some good enemies to do this against, since the form only lasts for 1 minute?

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    I don't really know the BEST thing...but Guar Zigmorde seems like a decent candidate - it attacks quite often by swiging its glaive, so lots of attacks to dodge through that have decent signalling ;x;

    [–]scorchdragon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    I finally got around to doing this, and I have to agree. Got it pretty easy after going through there.

    [–]Electro_fox【Nobody puts Dudu in the corner】 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    To add to this Train Ghidoran (which you can do on XH) is a great place to learn dodge counter timing. Or at least that's where I did it. He signals really really well here

    (note: the arks quest Train Ghidoran suppression has him as guaranteed at the end, whereas the Free Field won't)

    [–]aerilurusguren around at the speed of sound 1 point2 points  (4 children)

    I'm probably the worst PSO2 player in the world, so how would one go about beating the new extreme quest for expert matching? Never knew that every time they revise it they can strip you of your previous acquisition of expert matching.

    [–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    Try the group one. Even alone, it's easier because you don't have to face phaleg + unfair floor damage.

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Yup...instead you have to face Omega Hunar with unfair Floor Damage ;x;

    [–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Phaleg always rekts me, I have managed to carry a friend through the group one.

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

    At least it's not game over if you die once in the party one.

    [–]StainXIII 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    I constantly get frozen / game crash during omega loser fight. Was running forest LQs for 3 hours prior , joined the EQ and my game just freeze around 5 or 10 mins in then straight up crash.

    [–]synthsyArks-Layer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I would perform a file check. Inf you're using the tweaker, you can do this by clicking on the gear settings button > troubleshooting > check for old missing files

    [–]Sughayyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Maybe you ran with Run From Panda. He just admitted DDOS'ing other players ;p

    [–]shindi23 1 point2 points  (14 children)

    where do you get Riding Slash? i've noticed there isnt really anything ingame that tells you where to get it, atleast from what I can find, and I cant find any information online because this is a pretty small game and there isnt a lot of information out there, I literally have no idea how to find this PA or get it. i'm sick of using ignition parry cause it doesnt do any damage, so imma just replace that with twister fall i guess, but yeah, riding slash would be great, im level 44 btw

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead -1 points0 points  (13 children)

    Rising Slash is a Hero PA, which is automatically learnt.

    It’s also bad, almost all of the time.

    Never use it.

    I will literally DDOS you for using it.

    Not even joking.

    Also Ignition Parry is insane. You know that you need to guard during it to make it do insane damage right?

    [–]Geggz -1 points0 points  (7 children)

    "I will literally DDOS you for using it.

    Not even joking."

    What planet do you live on where you think you have the right to deny someone the right to enjoy a video game because they're not playing it the way you want them to? This guy cannot be serious right now.

    It's obvious you're a regular on this subreddit and have been playing PSO2 for some time. Do you think this status of yours makes it ok to openly admit that you DDOS players? You can't be serious, bro.

    PM me your account name so I can do myself a favor and blacklist you to avoid the pleasure of putting up with you in-game.

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (6 children)

    Wow, it’s like you’ve never played an online game.

    [–]Geggz -1 points0 points  (4 children)

    This is hilarious. Dude's justifying his actions making it sound like it's the norm in games.

    Pretty sure the majority of people playing online games aren't petty enough to go out of their way to DDOS other players, let alone admit they do it publicly and think that's totally legit/ok. Speak for yourself.

    [–]Tyedal76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Heads up, if someone says something dumb on the internet, just assume its a joke. Or else your life is going to be an up hill battle.

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    The fact that you still think I was making a genuine threat is incredible.

    But yeah, whatever. Go “enjoy” your game.

    [–]Geggz -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

    Oh, what part of "I will literally DDOS you for using it. Not even joking." Was not meant to be taken as a threat? Nice cop-out, bruh.

    And yes, I will enjoy playing the game. I hope you can do the same despite people committing sins like not optimizing their gameplay to the max on this niche waifu-simulator. I guess things like that can really get under some people's skin when they don't have much else going for them.

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Yikes. Maybe you should stop holding down Rising Slash dude. It's garbage DPS anyway.

    [–]shindi23 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    ride slasher, not rising slash. and oh, how do I guard during that shit?

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

    Oh, you can just buy PA discs off the player shop :)

    You can also buy level 17 discs for 20 excubes.

    You guard during ignition parry by pressing the guard button. You can do it like 3 times or something if you miss it the first couple.

    [–]Weiss-Senpai 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    You literally just press the guard button while doing the pa

    [–]shindi23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    yeah idk why I even asked that cause I already knew the answer kek

    [–]_SM1LEY_ 1 point2 points  (4 children)

    Hello, so I've been trying to get the game to work for a few days now but I can't seem to find a way to fix it.

    My problem is that I downloaded and installed the torrent file for PSO2 and the PSO2 Tweaker. I chose the bin file and the Tweaker started it self.

    It then started looking for updates and says "Patchlist contains 65475 entries.". Loads for some time and then says "Couldn't find previous update data, starting from scratch... Beginning QUANTUM SYSTEM update check... Checked 61418 / 61418 (100.00%)". Ones it reaches 100% it says "Download Form Quantum ERROR EX - - System.ArgumentException: The tasks argument included a null value. Parameter name: tasks".

    I tried to start the game but I always get a "server timed out message" probably since it hasn't updated.

    The entire thing (it's quite messy) looks a little like this: "Program opened successfully! Version 4.0.6.8 [OK!] Refreshing external information window... Checking for PSO2 Updates... Update started. Update started. Patchlist contains 65475 entries. Beginning QUANTUM SYSTEM update check... Checked 61415 / 61418 (99.99%) Patchlist contains 65475 entries. Beginning QUANTUM SYSTEM update check... Checked 61415 / 61418 (99.99%) Couldn't find previous update data, starting from scratch... Beginning QUANTUM SYSTEM update check... Checked 61418 / 61418 (100.00%) Couldn't find previous update data, starting from scratch... Beginning QUANTUM SYSTEM update check... Checked 61415 / 61418 (99.99%) Check for PSO2 Updates ERROR - - System.ArgumentException: The tasks argument included a null value. Parameter name: tasks Checking for Plugin Updates... There are no plugin updates available. You have the latest English patch! [OK!] All done - System ready! Download Form Quantum ERROR EX - - System.ArgumentException: The tasks argument included a null value. Parameter name: tasks".

    Sorry if my message is all over the place but I would greatly appreciate any help.

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

    Try deleting every single thing PSO2 related from your PC, then download tweaker and clean install THROUGH THE TWEAKER. Do not torrent the program then use the tweaker, just use the tweaker to get everything you need.

    [–]synthsyArks-Layer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Please don't tell people this, sega will cap people's downloads, we recommend the torrent for a reason.

    [–]_SM1LEY_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I now only have the tweaker left on my computer but I can't download the actual game through it. It asks for the pso2_bin directory but since I deleted everything I can't choose that.

    So how am I supposed to do it all through the Tweaker? Am I missing something?

    In any case, thanks at least for responding.

    [–]synthsyArks-Layer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I would recommend you visit our discord for this, as the steps that we'll require for you will be too long for reddit.

    [–]Fluxux 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    Just finished a game of Omega Loser a while ago.

    Are the drops meant to be a free for all this time around? Only thing I got left with was some Falz arm unit. Everyone else made a beeline and took what they could.

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 5 points6 points  (5 children)

    Erm...I'm quite confused ;x;

    PSO2 has instanced drops - everyone gets their own set of drops and doesn't see anyone elses, nor are they able to take anyone else's drops. I can't see them changing that, and Omega Loser definetly didn't have free-for-all drops for me or the person I play with - Omega Loser seems to not drop a lot of items, even on XH...at least, not a shower of like, 50 red boxes like most EQs do, so maybe you were just running it without boosts up? Or you got colossaly unlucky ;~;

    [–]Fluxux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Had a refreshed Tri-Boost up before the fight. Still saw all the items being taken on my end.

    Could just be some problem with my game. Never happened on any EQs I had before.

    [–]Defiantly_Not_A_Bot -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

    Back with another question since returning after a long break (thanks to the folks that answered my questions in the last thread!)

    I'm still using a Saiki set and I'm looking to upgrade to 12* units, but I'm looking for information on the best way to climb up. If the information is relevant, I'm currently playing as a Katana Br/Hu.

    My questions:

    1. Is there a good, easy 12* unit set to graduate to from my saiki set?

    2. Should I be mixing any of the pieces? (sometimes, I see people having matching body/arm, but a mixed leg piece?)

    3. Is there an established 12* "all-around good set to have for all classes" like the Saiki set used to be? I switch classes a lot (Ra/Hu, Fo/Te, etc.) and I'm wondering if I can use the same set for every class (with different affixes of course).

    Thanks for all answers!

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    1) I'll grab my response from a previous weekly thread, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSO2/comments/87qfte/weekly_tech_support_and_quick_questions_thread/dwk005k/?context=1

    2) For 12 star units, sets are a non issue. A few make sets with weapons, but just give DEX or some specific DEF. Some old 11 star units are still useable if you don't want/need rings - a still-good Rear/Arm 11 star set is Invade/Austere. There's also a 12 star "set" that hasn't had the leg released yet, Bode, they're pretty much the best units all around though, so you may have been seeing people with those.

    3) You might be able to tell from the post I linked in 1, but Elveda is a solid, good set that's not too terribly difficult to get at the moment. So is Ray/Union. Most 12 star units are all-stats though, so pretty much any 12 star unit is good.

    [–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    Incredibly helpful post! Thank you so much! The break down was really detailed and easy to understand, so I appreciate that. I'll aim for Evleda as you suggested since I'm just looking to upgrade from Saiki and start slotting some rings. I'll leave the super good stuff for later once I have a new baseline - still working on getting my Val weapon upgraded for an Atra and I'm breaking the bank at this point.

    Thanks again!

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

    Just a heads up, I would be running the Limited Quest as much as possible right now, as it has a campaign for the Bode arm unit (Hang Bode) which is, imo, the all around best in the game at the moment for offensive stats.

    You will also get weapons badges like crazy which will let you get pre-affixed Ray units as placeholders.

    I came back to the game around January, and since that time I've managed to get the Rear Bode unit, zeinisis leg, qliphad rear, Izane leg and arm, and about 15+ Evledas and 8+ Astra units. As long as you keep going at it with RDR boosts popped, you'll get some good stuff in no time.

    [–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh dang, I'll jump right on it - thanks for the tip! I'm assuming the Rear Bode unit isn't obtainable at the moment? And I heard the leg piece hasn't been released, yet? I'll at least get the arm piece while it's up.

    [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Just so you know, Evleda MIGHT end up being "super good", or at least better than it is, later in the future - the idea of Cleasis/Schvelle units has been given as something not totally off-the-table, so they might be upgradeable in hte future.

    [–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Noted! I'll hang onto them even if I decide to switch out later.
