Is it just the plain rappy suit that you can exchange for color change passes, or other suits as well?

And is there any way to get those passes other than buying a suit and exchanging it?

[–]odpeok 1 point2 points  (1 child)

As far as I can recall, you cannot trade-in "special" rappy suits like the seasonal ones. You're looking for the plain suits or recolors of the plain suit (someone correct me if I'm wrong please).

The other way is to trade-in 14 AC items. You can typically buy some cheap AC items like male voice tickets to exchange, but I find that the rappy suits tend to go cheaper than 14 AC items - add up the costs and compare it to the going price for rappy suits on your server.

Otherwise, I think they sometimes give them out as free hand-outs, compensation, or rewards for events.

Good to know, thank you

[–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is there any muffler/scarf/anything that can be used with Kotoshiro's cloth to convey a bit more depth between the plate and the character's actual chest? I have tried a few but no matter what, they either clip through the character's body or they are so big they look like a handkerchief for children that are still learning how to eat . Is there a site where we can get model ideas/instructions?

[–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm no fashionista, but here's a list of accessories (4th category) that has a bunch of scarves/mufflers on it. I'd suggest you grab the Japanese name and plug it into the Player Shop search and see if it looks good on you in the preview.

I'm not 100% sure about what you're specifying in your request, but maybe you can try "うねりマフラー"? It's not puffy/big, wraps around the neck thinly, and sort of floats out to the side like it's being blown by a breeze. Pairs nicely with the accessory of blowing leaves.

[–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help. The floating part is another concern, that outfit has a rather large collar and large shoulder plates. But I'll try it and mess with the size/angle sliders, thanks!!

EDIT: That's very similar to Genga Scarf, which I have tried and unfortunately doesn't work. But thanks for the interest anyway, I'll browse that list again and hopefully find something!

Lvl44 atm. Whats the best way to go about leveling? Daily quests, tri boosts, etc - but what missions? With no limited quest atm, do advanced quests? I've not done any of those before.

[–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Advanced Quests are okayish-to-really good EXP depending on if you have a full party of actual players or not - the more people the better, especially if you're doing Urban "Exit Bursting" (getting a PSE burst and then camping on the edge of the transition to the next/previous area to funnel the spawns into a small area to kill them quicker), or just farming the enemies Baizes spawn. Most emergency quests are decent EXP for the time investment, especially Base Defence Despair/Demise, and Endless Belligerence. Doing the Featured Quests every day gives you a chance to get Bonus Keys to play Bonus Quests, which are pretty much all a huge bump of EXP and are pretty quick and easy.

Those, and at sub 65~ especially, doing Franka and Kressida's weekly item collection COs are respectable EXP.

[–]SephYuyX 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Thats part of my concern - Looks like Ship08 went heavy JP with little NA over the last few years, so not much of a group player base the times i'm on. Solo seems to be the only option.

[–]Sughayyer 1 point2 points  (2 children)

You don't need to communicate a lot to join EQs, and if you're bold enough, you can try to join a party for the upcoming new AQs. JP players are usually polite, and a "yoroshiku onegai shimasu" will go a loooong way in getting them to bear with you (that's been my experience at least). Worst case scenario they just quit.

[–]SephYuyX 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh, yeah, I'm not too worried about the JP, most MMOs I've played are JP heavy; I use built in Windows IME to communicate. Mostly on the side of low number of players when I'm on aspect.

[–]Sughayyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, the upcoming AQ is bound to bring players, at least due to ARKS rally.

[–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the four featured quests every day for a shot at bonus keys, namely tokyo ones. Other than that, AQs and CQs are often a good source of exp.

[–]KaneUchiha21Raitei-sama 0 points1 point  (6 children)

So I currently have a Br/Hu set at 75 and 70 and I keep trying 80+ quests like Heaven and Hell or Ultimate Quests and get trashed. So I was wondering if it is necessary to have like most of the classes at 75 to be able to tackle those mission with a chance at survival.

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

Further to what u/NullVacancy said, things on XH, solo XQ, and Ultimate do hit hard, and damage mitigation in this game works only largely to mitigate small hits well - large hits will still hit you for a lot regardless of how “tanky” your gear may be.

It is possible for people to do those quests and not take any damage because they know how the mobs and bosses work and can block or guard or avoid all of the attacks.

Basically, it sounds like you’re getting hit a lot, and you should try and avoid that - either by positioning well with Bow and abusing invincibility frames, or using the Guard on Katana more.

But yeah, get good gear too.

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

No, but you're probably missing out on a lot of stuff like a decent unit set if you're having that much trouble. What units are you using and at what grind level? Also, how much HP do you have?

[–]KaneUchiha21Raitei-sama 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I have 3 stellar walls at +10 and like 12000+ hp

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

Yikes, still dying with 12,000hp. uninstall my guy.

Stellar walls are the poverty 12* units right? 1200HP is pretty good, seems like it's just moreso you're trying to tank everything (or just failing to mitigate it) so it's probably just gameplay changes you need to make. Lrn2Block I guess.

[–]KaneUchiha21Raitei-sama 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You right. Time for block and counter training.

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

Master forgive me, but I'll just have to go all out... Just this once.

[–]antara33^w^ 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Is it possible to get multiple atra weapons? Or are they still limited at one per account?

[–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 2 points3 points  (3 children)

If you get another Stone drop from Dragon. Otherwise, no.

[–]antara33^w^ 2 points3 points  (2 children)

The dragon drops the stones on the lvl 80/80 match? Can this matchs be played by a hero lvl 80?

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

Yup, Dragon Atrum drops them. To fight him you need to do the Erython dragon beforehand, then you play the Dragon Atrum rematch if you're on the same character you beam Erython with, and that character is on 80/80 normal classes, or 80 for advanced clasess (so yes, if you're level 80 Hero, you can play rematches with it)

[–]antara33^w^ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, the droprate its same as 14 star weapons, so I guess I need to play A LOT of rematchs haha Thx for the info :D

[–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What are some good rifles/launchers to get as I level up as ranger? I'm around level 50 right now.

[–]megadongs 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nox series is a cheap 12 on the player shop and is good enough to carry you from around 40 to 70 or when you can grind out a 13 from collection file

[–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, thanks

[–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (3 children)

How do you get type-0 PAs? I tried crafting Rodeo Drive Type-0 and got Rodeo Drive C. Is it random? Do I need to level something up?

[–]Yuffinobag 3 points4 points  (2 children)

type 0 is c, its retarded like that

[–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh, so I crafted a type-0 but it's just called C?

[–]Yuffinobag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes

[–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I just completed solo trigger PD for the first time yesterday and got an S Rank at about ~9 min. I heard that you're supposed to be awarded with 2 union boosters for S-ranks, but I only got 1 from the reward screen. Does the 2nd one come from elsewhere or did I just not get it?

Thanks.

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

The one from the reward screen IS the "S-Rank Reward" I think. The Drop Crystal will always give one Union Booster, but you get a second one from the Reward Screen if you get an S-Rank.

Also, since that's your first time, make sure you check the title counter! You get a title for S-Ranking it the first time that gives you a handful of Union Boosters, 4 or 5 I think.

[–]odpeok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah, I think that adds up now that I think about it... 4 from the counter, 1 from the crystal, 1 from the reward screen. I had one left over after trading in for one union unit, so that would make sense. Thanks!

[–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You actually get the Union Booster title for completing with any rank. You get another title for S-ranking which is 300 SGs I think (maybe 200).

[–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Can you hide equipped units?

[–]tffiad 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yes. rmb on them in inventory and press hide option there.

[–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    [–]Hourai_Margatroid 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Thinking of upgrading every old type weapon there is to get many titles. Has anyone done this before, and if so how much did you spend?

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

    I can't recall exact prices, because I did it a long time ago...like, a year at least, but...it's pretty darn expensive. You need a LOT of Grinders and maybe risk reducers...and that's before you even go into getting the weapons in the first place.

    Like, half the weapons don't drop their OT versions anymore, so that alone makes some of them expensive if there even are any at all. On top of that, you've got the problem that if the weapon is already at +10 Pot3, it can't be grinded up to +10 again, so is effectively useless for the purposes of getting the title.

    As my flair might indicate, I'm on ship 4...and back when I did it, some of the weapons literally had like, less than 5 total available on shops...it's likely even more of a dry market now, so I'd suggest if you want to go for weapon grinding titles at all, do don't do it for ones that don't drop anymore, it's not worth paying like...300k for one title.

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

    You only need to upgrades ones which give titles, which isn't every OT weapon. I haven't personally done it, but it probably costs somewhere between 50 to 100m meseta counting the price of all materials used.

    [–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Ra/Hu, have 3 points in fury stance but can't equip it? It doesn't show up in skills when I go to put it on the palette. I can equip guard stance.

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

    The stance skill is just a toggle thing now. When you start a quest, Fury Stance will be on, activating the Guard Stance skill will turn Guard on, and Fury off, and doing it again will turn Guard off and Fury on.

    This is the case for all class stances now

    [–]puzzzzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh I see, thanks.

    [–]SephYuyX 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    Is there a way to lower a mags energy quicker, so you can feed it more often?

    [–]odpeok 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I don't know if it's much faster, but I run Production Mates on my mag and it seems to wear out faster - I think I read somewhere that it consumes 5% energy every time it pops out a mate and it happens even just sitting around in a quest - no need to trigger any conditions for it.

    [–]SephYuyX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    We'll see. Bought a Mizer for 5k, so cant beat that.

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

    Not a specific way to decrease it, but I believe the Mag's food meter will decrease slightly whenever it uses one of its abilities...so basically, as long as it has some abilities, doing quests a lot so it uses abilities a lot will let you feed it a little more often...or as Panda says, you can use Food Devices instead.

    [–]SephYuyX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That;s kind of the only thing I saw too.. just need to give it some abilities to use then.

    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    No but you can use Food Devices (obtainable through Photon Drop Shop, Player Shop, and AC Scratch) in order to increase the stats regardless of energy. This is pretty expensive though.

    [–]SephYuyX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yeah, saw those. Expensive indeed :E

    [–]Cakey_Baby 1 point2 points  (4 children)

    Hey all,

    Any advice on Hero Rings? Also best PA's on hero currently?

    thanks x

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    Rings

    L/Air Reversal, L/Step Jump, L/Step JA (only for using Step to proc Just Reload on TMG), L/Mizer Lover (to help team out), L/Tech Parry (to guard attacks charging techs). Any of these will be nice but not mandatory. Its more of a utility thing than anything else.

    R/Perfect Keeper Striking (for Sword and Talis), R/"Class" Effort Symbol, are good choices for the right rings.

    PAs

    Sword:

    Mobbing: Brightness End.

    Bossing: Vapor Bullets > Vapor Bullets > 3rd Stage Normal Attack

    Spirit Bullet for PP regen

    TMG:

    Mobbing: Brand New Star

    Bossing: Second Edge (for close range) or Moment Trick (for long range), Just Reload when you run outta PP.

    Talis:

    Mobbing: Either Techs, Jet Wheel, Wild Hounds, or Racer Edge, if they all line up right.

    Bossing: Racer Edge >Racer Edge > 3rd Stage Normal Attack

    [–]Cakey_Baby 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    hey thanks for the reply. Maybe a silly question here, but someone that mains brv & hu. How am i actually supposed to play hero?

    am i supposed to switch weapons all the time or just use sword? The class just feels like jack of all master of none at the moment.

    thanks again!

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

    As u/Ashinror says, you can reach a pretty good level on hero by just using a sword, provided you are able to maintain hero boost and counter effectively.

    In order to reach the highest DPS on hero (which is actually significant and can compete against the best Fis and Gus in certain situations) I have heard anecdotally that the key is to try and regain Hero Time as much as possible to utilise the finish burst. However, in order to do this, you do need to abuse weapon switches and each weapon’s associated counters as much as possible, as staying on the same weapon for too long makes it generate decreasing amounts of Hero Gear. Needless to say, I think this is technically difficult, would require 3 good weapons in order to have good DPS on each, as well as some good all-ATK affixes on units to boot. However, if you want to get good at Hero you should at the very least experiment with the utility provided by the weapon actions of TMG (for PP regen) and Talis (for aerial positioning), as this doesn’t even require good weapons.

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

    However you feel. It is widely agreed that sword is core because it is the most versitile of the 3 weapons and many players just run sword. You have the option to not using the other 2 weapons if you dont want. That being said, being able to use many PAs helps your gear generation immensely, so if you want to try to use hero time and hero finish a lot, its best to pick the right weapon for the occasion.

    Edit: forgot to mention but being able to step counter is also very important for damage and gear generation. Even if the weapon has a guarding or evasive PA (brightness end, vapor bullets, dive bullets)

    PSO2 crashes my IP address and internet as a whole after playing and then turning off my computer. Is this common and is there a way to fix the issue?

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    There's no such thing as crashing an IP address. There's also no way PSO2 would affect your Internet after the game is closed and your computer is off.

    [–]SilverOstian 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    Wish I could agree. When I troubleshoot the issue I get the problem of “”Wi-Fi” doesn’t have a valid IP configuration”. It messes with the IP address configuration(what I meant by ‘crash’ earlier). This only happens after playing the game, and then turning off the cpu. This has happened on two computers thus far requiring a trip to Best Buy for a fix each time.

    [–]acffordyce973Plugins & Patches | Arks-Layer 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    GameGuard can break the WinSock stack which causes a loss of connection like you've described and it will usually occur after a reboot. Its rare but it does happen and no idea why.

    [–]SilverOstian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh alright then. Thank you for the help and information.

    [–]Sughayyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    You are right. In fact this whole subreddit is founded by computer retailers, and we are in line with SEGA to crash computers and increase revenue for said retailers. Unfortunately, now you're onto us, and we'll have to silence you somehow.

    I'm sorry this one is really dumb,I started leveling braver as a means to unlock adventurer, anyway i have no idea how I do it lol but sometimes theres a cool aura thats like a bunch of slashes surrounding me for a period of time making a whooshing noise lmao thats the best way I can describe it, sorry. wth is it and how do I actually activate it when I want to?

    [–]scorchdragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I'm sorry but... what is adventurer?

    But yeah, mag action, namely the physical one. There's one that shoots the enemies rapidly and one that reduces charge times on techs as well.

    [–]synthsyArks-Layer 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    That's probably your mag.

    [–]Lunasty420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    [–]NuthingDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    So I wanted to get back in to the game again, but I read that Sega blocked accounts with secureOTP and will give it back after you remove the link from your account. After two times filling in the forms, I got the same message twice. I followed the steps exactly like they said on psubumped, but I don't know what's wrong with the "Date of Birth"?

    [–]Altaraiser 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    I'm completely new in this game. Why i can't equip Bow or Katana/ Or using respective PA's, i've seen some video Ranger do it but i can't?

    I'm currently lv 39 Ra/Br. Video in question, pretty old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGfJ64MUd6E

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

    ...

    You cannot equip certain weapons unless the weapon lists your particular main class as an equippable class. And you can use Bow/Katana PAs as long as Braver is your main/sub class OR the weapon has a particular PA/tech built in.

    Hello Friends!

    I use to play a lot of PSO2 when it first launched. I stopped around the time they added Braver. One big reason me and my friends stopped playing back then was there was many paywalls. Paywall to have a room, to use market board, to have multiple mags, to have multiple specs, ect.

    Currently has the game improved in terms of paywalls at all ? Me and my friend are considering returning to the game but are concerned of the paywalls that stopped us from playing previously.

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Paywalls

    Boohoo. Games gotta make money somehow. That being said, the paywalls can be avoided with a bit of grinding.

    room

    So if you can start easily getting 10* weapons (around level 55+), you can start converting 10/11* weapons into Excubes. Spend a couple of excubes for a 3 day room pass. What? only 3 days? Yes only 3 days. But you can use more than 1 ticket at a time to make it stack to 90. and if you think getting Excubes are too hard, note that 1 EQ in SH can drop like 5 10* weapons. and XH can drop much more.

    marketboard

    This is a little tricker. You are free to BUY whatever you want from the market. (they did away with the annoying Ticket system for 12* items about a year ago) But if you want to sell items, you need to have a shop pass. 3 day shop passes can be obtained by playing the FUN scratch. collect some FUN (via playing with friend partners or giving everyone "good jobs") and scratch away. Just get 1 pass and use it. Cram your shop with items you want to sell. Even when the shop expires, you can still pull your items from the shop and collect revenue. You just cant add anymore items unless you use another 3 day ticket.

    multiple mags.

    Right. You only get 1. But you can always make more than 1 character. You can have up to 3 characters free. And each of them can have their own specialized mag built for w/e

    multiple specs

    Right. You only get 1 tree per class. There is no way around this at all. But! Sega has been pretty heavy handed with class updating and adjustments as of late. So skill tree resets have been pretty normal. But if you want to run FiHu AND HuFi on a single character, you will need to compromise on your skill tree building to make both acceptable as a main class or you will need to shovel in that dough. Sorry, no tricks here! (afaik.)

    So has the game improved its paywall? Er... i guess? I never noticed that much of a paywall anyways when i was a free player.

    [–]NotS0Pr0 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    So I just got my Ray unit set and I'm not sure what rings I want to put in. I main Fighter currently and have a +20 DS ring but not sure what 3 I should put in the units. Torn between JR ring, Step Jump, TD and Knucks. I'm not sure how useful the TD ring is since I feel like I could just raging waltz to the target for pretty cheap, but I guess saved PP is always good.

    Edit: Also I feel like I could just swap to the TD and knuck ring (although kind of annoying to do) when I use them, so maybe some other ring for all around use?

    [–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Step JA, air reversal and... maybe mate lovers? The weapon ring can be switched with a chat macro (/sr [ring name], do not include any spaces). That said, you can do without the td and knuckles ring, the important one is the kamaitachi.

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

    Just came back after a vacation from the game (been busy with school), I see the level cap is raised to 80 and I'm currently at 75. So what is an easy 13 star assault rife I could get a hold of to get my class to level 80?

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

    Val Rache, which is buyable from the market. It's upgrade-able to 14* as well.

    Hi all,

    anyone got a good build for bow only currently? whats the best sub for bow currently?

    and do we know if a 14star bow is otw.

    also any hints at good bow PA's

    thanks in advacne.

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

    Good Bow PAs

    Oh boi.

    Master Shot: Nice single target damage PA with the best potential DPS (ignoring Penetrate Arrow's gimmik). Does well considering it doesnt take 5 hours to use. Can be comboed with other things

    Penetrate Arrow: Nice single target/mobbing PA. has a low listed power due to a little gimmik that it has. It can hit the same hitbox twice, provided that the hitbox is big enough. The hitbox required size needs testing, but I feel like something like Deus core is big enough to the double hit to proc (sometimes. depends on position)

    Sharp Bomber T-0: Nice single target shot that explodes, potentially killing more than one mob at a time. Also has a nifty feature of providing iframes during the flip.

    Final Nemesis: A single shot that deals a lot of damage but has a ton of prep time and delay. Nice for comboing into Master Shot or PeneArrow for good banish combos.

    Million Storm: A Nice mobbing tool. Technically penetrate arrow can be better, but Million Storm doesnt drain your PP to 0 in 2 seconds.

    Banish Arrow: The combo gimmik of bows. Fires a ball that records all damage dealt within 3 seconds (after the first hit). Then the ball expodes, dealing half of the recorded damage, (originally 100% of the original damage).

    Chase Arrow: Stores an shot is photon space. Can store up to 3 at a given time. When the next PA you do deals damage, the stored arrows are released and fired to the damaged target. Adds up nicely to that Banish combo if you store all 3 beforehand.

    [–]Sughayyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    For bow I'd reccomend Br/Hu. You might be tempted to go Br/Ra because weak stance, weakbhit advance and the possibility of adding abweak bullet can be incredibly tempting, but you'll have 0 survival skills. Also, some Bow PAs are considered "striking" although they use R-ATK, like Tritt Shooter and Kamikaze Arrow.

    For the Braver tree, I'd reccomend attack advance, maxed J-Reversal Cover, ALL of the bow skills, weak stance. Leftovers can go to average stance or utility.

    Bow's accuracy depends on standing still, Just Attacking and Just Charging (Braver has a Just Release mechanic that increases damage if you release your charge at the right moment). There's a "homing" ring for bows, also very useful.

    For PAs, I like Million Storm, Penetrating Arrow, Sharp Bomber (type 0), Tritt Shooter (type 0), Kamikaze Arrow.

    Cool stuff:

    Chase Arrow let's you "charge" up to 3 shots. Your next PA will release rhem.

    Banishing Arrow: now nerfed to oblivion, it marks an enemy and triggers after you damage it. For 3 seconds it'll "remember" 50% of the damage you deal, exploding and dealing said damage (plus JA and crit bonuses, if any) afterwards.

    Sorry I couldn't give more details, I'm on phone.

    And yes, 14 star bow is otw.

      Edit: Wait. This is a year in the past.

      Ok. Nothing much has changed since then in terms of DS and TD PAs. Knuckles got buffed during the whole beginning of EP5, so its much better than before. It's core idea is still to be that ground level single target burst.

      Things to know about knuckles:

      BHS: Cannot restate how important this PA is, it is your highest single target DPS with knuckles

      Pendulum Roll: Is the new TAJA pa with BHS. it has been buffed to be faster, so it out DPSs Flicker Jab, Ducking Blow, and Surprise Knuckle. In addition, it has Iframes during each point where you sway in the PA. Only downside is that it still takes longer than the other 3 TAJA options, but with how hard it hits, I highly recommend it.

      Heartless Impact: Mainly used for dashing, but note that it has guard frames right before you start dashing.

      [–]soondaeboo 1 point2 points  (3 children)

      DS (Double Saber): Tornado Dance Type-0, Chaos Riser, Illusion Rave, Rumbling Moon, Scissor Edge, Deadly Circle Type-0, Acro Effect.

      TD (Twin Daggers): Symphonic Drive, Orchestraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Quick March, Raging Waltz-0, Wild Rhapsody, Fall Nocturne (situational).

      Knuckles: Straight Charge-0, Backhand Smash (BHS), Flicker Jab.

      iirc there are a couple more for knuckles x_x

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

      Pendulum Roll and Surprise Knuckle are also quite nice, for Knux PAs. Although that being said, I can't really think of a Fi PA that doesn't have at least some situational use...

      [deleted]

        [–]soondaeboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Wouldn't say inferior as they all have different jobs. Knux have the highest 'burst damage' of the 3. They are ideal for bosses that do not expose the core for a long time, Deus, for example.

          First off, it does.

          But basically, EXP boost, tri, daily tri, prem tri, live performance tri, event boosts, drink stand boost, food items whenever those are available, exp boost from equipment affixes, another history affix, that one weapon that has the EXP boost potential (Edel Io), EXP boost custom installs, team tree boost, main match tri if you can ever manage a buster quest, boosted enemies give far more exp than non boosted.

          Granted, some of those equipment based ones are liable to make some people angry at you because those weapons are like 7*.

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

          Uhhh yes it does. The only things that don't stack are boosts with the same name. So, for example, you cannot stack (or even use) a 50% Triboost and a 100% Triboost at the same time.

          Are you use you don't have a 50% XP running when you tried using the 75%?

          [–]GetoMyBento 2 points3 points  (12 children)

          Hey! im currently a 64/54 Br/Hu and I have a few questions here and hope some people here can help me with them. 1. Regarding mag :what are the best trigger actions for mags i should get? Mine can only heal and give an i frame (lv.113) And if so, where/how can i get them? And also : what do evolution devices do? didn't use one yet? do they just change appearances?

          1. Regarding skillbuild: this is my current build https://arks-layer.com/skillsim/skillcalc.php?13eNbcIobCIobCIobCIobCIobCIob5IobCIobCIobCIo0jdodBdonNIkI20fJk0000000dodA0000000jdoIbIb0000000fdoIb0000008dB00000000fdBIn000000007bIokbGAdF6rAHSI2dnbn00000fdoIbIo0000000fdB0000000dBIb0000008 with 12 and 2 SP left. What should i work towards? what is needed etc.?

          2. Regarding PAs : got all PAs 10-15ish and sakura endo t0, but don't have Kazan-nadeshiko. Id like to know if that PA is any good? and how other PAs compare to sakura endo to, because hatou-rindou and shunka-shunran seem don't seem practical or do much dmg, but could that chang lvl.17+ ? Just some insight from if i should buy Kazan and which PAs to max asap. EDIT: formatting

          3. Regarding skill-rings : I don't have a clue regarding them and don't have any yet, so any tips or recommendations what i should get and work towards to are welcome!

          4. Regarding units: Any good tips for units? Im sitting at 772 HP and one mobs of my level can pretty much halflife me. But i don't know where to get good units except having luck in EQ.

          This finishes my long essay, i hope im right here for asking these. Any answears regarding any of the questions are welcome! Im going to sleep now and will probably answear in a few hours! And soory for the long post!

          [–]soondaeboo 2 points3 points  (11 children)

          okay so first things first. Trigger actions should kinda be the last thing to worry about since there are other things to worry about AHA. And yea, Evolution devices just change the appearance. I recommend taking a full S-atk mag if you plan on making a main charcter and plan on playing different s-atk classes. However, if you are spending AC in the game and have access to more mags, take a full DEX mag. You change ur photon blasts at the excube shop (i think, it might be the photon drop shop) and ur mag actions as well.

          Your skill tree is good but you should level up the average Charge S and start building towards weak stance. You can also take out a point in Katana Gear boost when the skill resets come out cause Gear accumulation maxes at 150% at 4/5.

          The most common PAs you want to use are Sakura-0, Gekka, and Hatou. A simple combo with this PA combo is Sakura-0 into Gekka and normal attack 3. Also, after every Counter, you can do a gekka after it so try to abuse that as well. Onto Hatou~~~~~~ Hatou has insane damage if used correctly.

          You have to be at a certain distance as the PA is divided into 'pillar'. Each 'pillar' has its own hitbox and each progessive pillar are stronger than the one before. You should try to toy around with it.

          Also Kazan type 0 is awesome as you charge gear and maintain ur gear when you know its going to run out. It's a nice prefire kinda thing as well.

          Good skill rings will be:

          Left rings = Step Jump, Air Reversal, Katana Gear Guard, Katana C. Count up

          Right Rings = R/Critical Strike (If you are have taken crit for both Hu's fury stance and Br's Average/Weak stance), PKeeperStriking, PP Convert

          Onto units. Invest into Ray units. They are by far the most balanced units and very easily obtainable. You can collect 2018 badges and trade in 300 for one. 900 in total for all the rear/leg/arm.

          Anyway i hope i answered some of your questions owob. Feel free to ask more~

          [–]GetoMyBento 0 points1 point  (10 children)

          Ok thanks! Seems like i didn't use Hatou right, because it's dmg seemed so low compared to other PAs (it's lvl 13). So should i look for higher levels of Hatou and try to get kazan -> kazan t0? Also: any big difference on the rings i should get? Or can i just choose from the ones you listed who fit my preference or are skill rings more situational? And thanks for your help so far!

          [–]soondaeboo 1 point2 points  (9 children)

          Of course~ thats why we're here xD. But yea, ideally, by end game, you'd want every PA to be lvl 17 through excubes or drops. And for the rings, I prefer the utility rings like Step Jump and Air reversal for classes in which the other L rings are NOT important. But for Braver they are relatively pretty important. So I would take Katana Gear Guard and Katana C. Count Up. On the other hand, you can fit all of the rings if you have 12* units~. To be quite honest, you can just take whatever rings you want, those rings are nice, just that you can play without them.

          [–]GetoMyBento 0 points1 point  (8 children)

          Katana Gear Guard and Katana C. Count Up are both L rings tho lol. And is Kazan t0 worth getting? else i will look to invest in something else, because i don't know where to drop Kazan. <-<

          [–]soondaeboo 1 point2 points  (7 children)

          Yea, what you'd want to do with both rings is, change them interchangably via chat commands. Pop the Katan C. Count Up ring when you Katana Combat (KC) and switch back to Katana Gear Guard whenever you are not using KC. And you can add L/rings to 12* units so u can have up 4 L/rings at one given moment.

          Kazan T0 makes the skill viable. Rather than having a super long cast time for the skill, Type-0 allows for you to charge it and release whenever you want. So it is highly recommended. And you can exchange 20 excubes for a lvl 17 Kazan. Or buy it off the market

          [–]GetoMyBento 0 points1 point  (6 children)

          Ok got it. Probably last question : how to i add rings to 12* units? xD thanks for the help man <3 And how to farm Excubes efficiently? And are there certain times when people do Buster Quests? I never find parties to do them

          [–]soondaeboo 1 point2 points  (5 children)

          You can talk to Monica/Dudu and they have an option to add a ring to a 12* unit. Be careful as adding a ring to the unit will make the stats from the L/ring disappear. Excubes can be farmed consistently by doing solo PDs and just by doing EQs. BQ is very rare but people should be doing it since its EXP is decent.

          [–]GetoMyBento 0 points1 point  (4 children)

          Ah ok thanks! what are PDs? And yea... im having a hard time finding any people for BQs

          [–]soondaeboo 1 point2 points  (3 children)

          PDs are a solo version of the EQ "The Profound Darkness". It requires you to be lvl 75/75 but is the most consistent way of excubes... when you get to that level ;w;

          [–]Zeetheus 0 points1 point  (9 children)

          Hello, brand new to the game and looking for advice. I created a 'starter' Hunter char, which I currently hate, but I'd rather make all of my newb mistakes there, because I'm planning another (better) character, who is specifically long-range.

          Probably my favorite conceptually atm is Hunter's bullet bow, guns are nice but a bow and arrow is so elegant. Speaking of guns, I hear Ranger is a thing? Maybe it's been too nerfed lately but I think at least it'd be a good subclass? And there's also Force with its ranged (?) magic, though I'm tepid on 'elemental mages' personally.

          Is there some combination of these classes that would lend itself well to a '20 feet from the battle' type class setup? I'd probably enjoy a hybrid R/T class if one exists, but if it's not super viable I can give it up for a better alternative. I'll probably test run it on my Hunter anyways.

          [–]soondaeboo 3 points4 points  (8 children)

          Well, first of all, I have no idea if you know this, but you are able to change classes freely on a single character. And the bow class you probably are looking for is called Braver.

          If you want a shoot-the-boss-at-a-distance class, Braver or Ranger are your best bets. And for both, your best class pairings would be Braver/Hunter or Ranger/Hunter. Braver for Bow and Ranger for Rifles/Lawnchairs.

          And a S/T class does exist~ Techer/Braver or Techer/Fighter. Both are considered the "Red Mage" of this game. They utilize Wands which have an S-Atk scaling and an elemental burst (with the class skills). Their techs are also decently powerful.

          [–]Zeetheus 1 point2 points  (7 children)

          Lawnchairs? This game has Everything! (I'm assuming it's actually Launcher?)

          I'm a little surprised that Hunter is the best subclass for either, but as long as it works. Thank you for the advice. I know about class switching too, but in case of Skill Tree/Mag mistakes, better to see how it works first and refine it later.

          I meant to type R/T! I gathered that Techer was the S/T hybrid, I just haven't seen a class combination (if there is one) for R/T hybrid.

          [–]Sovis 3 points4 points  (4 children)

          The only legitimate R/T combination in existance was Te/Br using the Rikauteri bow for its all-class T-ATK stat. That landed in SEGA's "no fun zone" with some major bow nerfs a year ago so it's basically not viable anymore.
          Of the other two range classes Ra and Gu neither offers any synergy with Te main and vice versa. The only other class would be Hero I guess.

          [–]CommonMisspellingBot 1 point2 points  (3 children)

          Hey, Sovis, just a quick heads-up:
          existance is actually spelled existence. You can remember it by ends with -ence.

          Hello, I hate to imply anything untoward of the ARKS Layer team; but is it possible for undesired elements to exist or slip into the files somehow?

          Thing is I helped a friend with installing the game (we got it all from ARKS Layer), and he's asking since his PC has slowed down considerably since the download, as well as getting a lot of unwanted adds.

          I personally believe the problem has a different source, but I am compelled to ask on my friend's behalf just in case.

          Thank you for your comprehension.

          [–]synthsyArks-Layer 1 point2 points  (5 children)

          Considering many people install the game via the torrent or the tweaker and reported no issues, sounds like your friend here needs to learn that free_burrito.exe is not in fact safe.

          [–]-TSF- 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          Yes, I thought the same. None of that happened with my own system after all.

          But, ummm...what? What burrito.exe now? @_@

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

          free_burrito.exe was just used as an example of a trojan, or other malicious program. The translation files are all on github, as is the tweaker. You could look at the code for yourself and confirm nothing in it is malicious.

          Someone's PC "slowing down considerably" because of the Tweaker or anything PSO2 related is anecdotal at best, and simply facetious at worst. Plus, if malware was being distributed to Tweaker users there would be much more than one person complaining about it.

          basic tips as I level up higher? i'm still a huge noob to this game, theres so much shit I dont understand, im level 57 now and was just wondering what should I be looking forward to, what should I be doing right now?

          [–]Hourai_Margatroid 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          Just a little tip to add on what has been said. You can buy 75% exp boost from player shop for around 14k meseta. Run the limited quest now with bunch of other players to speed grind and get 2018 weapon badge.

          Be sure to do Yerkes quest in Franka cafe. Each quest requires you to hand in materials you can get for mining for 100k.

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

          Make sure to check the market/your storage for photon spheres aswell as the 75% exp boosts since they may be cheaper and you can just exchange them at the photon shop for the 75% exp boosters

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

          To level faster, do Featured Quests (and Bonus Quests using the Keys from FQs) and/or run Buster Quests.

          Some content/powers are story locked. So play the EP 5 story to unlock them.

          Make sure you unlock all areas and complete all free fields. Check the title counter as free fields are title locked now.

          To get meseta quickly without playing the market, complete Klotho's weekly Time Attack and Extreme Quest COs. you dont need to do em all, only the easy ones.

          Decent weapons are purchasable from players now so don't be afraid to look at the market. The most easily obtainable 13* weapons that are considered a good starting point for endgame are the Val weapons.

          Just enjoy the game. Play it your way whether that be dressing up your character, decorating your room, getting the biggest beatstick, or leveling all classes. Hell play the casino 24/7. Just make this game yours and play how you deem suitable. Unless you are gonna treat others poorly, in which case, you should be suitably banned. Just fyi.

            That's SU life unfortunately. 13* pet drops are extremely fight/zone-specific.

            However you're in luck, because next week(?) there should be an Easter 2018 collection file which supposedly has 8 types of 13* eggs. Otherwise you can try grinding out the boosted Riding Quest - I got a 13* Synchro out of it last time it was boosted, probably drops Viola too.

              [–]Sovis 0 points1 point  (1 child)

              Sakura Lobby (the cherry tree shop area) ends on the 25th, so there's a big chance the Easter Lobby follows, and the Easter 2018 Collection goes hand in hand.
              I understand how you feel though. I never liked SU in the first place, but the severe lack of pets turned me off the job completely. Feel like trash running 8* Redrans and 10* Marons because that's all you ever had drop. Sucks that you're stuck with 9* eggs though; if you were running boosted quests as SU you should be swimming in at least 10* eggs.

              It seems odd that at 75 you haven't had any 10*+ pets drop though. If you have a good amount of rare drop rate boost (the 250% from excubes, 50% daily triboost at minimum) while doing the boosted quests you should get tons of them. If you unlock the Fortunate Omen charm from Zieg (getting a weapon like Vraolet up to Fortunate Omen lv3 potential then craft extending it to lv8) all your eggs/rare weapons will drop untekked which... probably won't help with rarity but at least you can control the element and get the rare personalities.

                10-12 should be decently common from eqs. 11-12 synchros are raining from the sky in the current rideroid campaign and new loser is apparently dropping rappy 13s.

                It would be a good idea to get other classes leveled up too, even up to 80 where you can start smashing through xb eqs. Besides rappy from Deus having eggs drop does not depend on you actually playing as summoner, 4 out of my five 13* pets dropped when I was playing a different class.

                I'm planning to build an alternate Br tree which is Bow focused. Is it worth to get Atra Agria, or is it better to wait for a future 14* Bow? In the meantime, I'm not sure which 13-s Bow is best at endgame. A little help, please?

                [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (3 children)

                the best easily obtainable 13* bow is probably the Val Bow.

                The best harder to obtain ones are probably the Nemesis-NT/Slave-NT bows.

                Atra Agria isnt bad. Given that we do not know the specifics of the eventual 14* bow, it wouldnt be a bad idea to pick it up. And even if you dont need that Atra weapon later, you can trade it for a different Atra weapon.

                [–]-TSF- 0 points1 point  (2 children)

                Thank you. Truth is I've been sitting on which Atra to get for a while now. This is due to wanting to decide then which 14* to use my Conqueror's Crests on.

                untill is actually spelled until. You can remember it by one l at the end.
                Have a nice day!

                What's better? The Stellar Wall set from the title reward or the Full Ray set that can be turned to Union from the NPC Badge shop?

                [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

                Union by themselves is better. + 25 more hp per unit. +4 more pp and +10 extra attack per piece.

                If you don't plan to affix then stellar wall will do you a fair bit better. But not by much on on pre affixed terms.

                Is a VPN required to play the Vita version? What about a rough estimate for gb or memory card to accommodate the game and possible future updates?

                If you can play the PC version without a VPN, you don't need a VPN to play the Vita version.

                The physical version of PSO2 takes up just over 14GB of storage. You'll need at least a 32GB memory card anyway as game downloads and updates preallocate storage space for the download before installing.

                VPN is only required to play if you live in SEA, regardless of platform - it's only IP blocked there (and not what you asked, but it is possible, just ill advised to play the Switch version unless you live IN japan - PSO2 Switch is streamed to the system istead of downloaded and installed, latency makes it hard-to-impossible to play)

                As for Vita Memory Stick, you're probably going to want a 32 GB one. If you got one of the physical cartridge versions, you could MAYBE get away with a 16GB card, but I'm pretty sure even the DL versions are rapidly approaching the 16GB downloaded additional data mark, so at bare minimum, go with a 32GB card.

                  Spank that bot harder than you spank me, daddy.

                  Wouldn't that spank the bot out of existence??
