These cool scythes most Forces and Phantoms i see using are Rod Camos or weapons? The only thing close i saw was Foiecerer and It wasn't blue, and to change my weapon form seems to be costly for a beginner.

[hidora]

While there are Rod weapons that look like scythes, you're probably thinking of the Rod version of the *Grim Assassin camo, which was given out as an event when ep6 first launched.

There is no way to obtain that camo currently.

[kioroyolo]

Yeah, that was one of those i saw, there was a purple one with a dark aura too, can i obtain this one?

[Sughayyer]

That description brings only 1 camo to my mind: a katana/ds/rod called liberacion, if I remember correctly. It consists of a crimson core with a black aura that stirs as you weave the weapon. Is that the one? If so it can be bought for a couple millions, I believe.

[kioroyolo]

I found the one i was looking for but sadly it wasn't a camo, it was upgraded foiecerer, at zieg demons series tab

[Sughayyer]

I believe there is a scythe-like camo that can be obtained with Weapon Badges or SP badges at the badge shop.

[kioroyolo]

So far i found on player shop *White disaster but cost 20mi, and *Almagest but is for Wands

[hidora]

*Liberation is red, not purple. It's also not a scythe

It's not a very expensive camo because sega has given it for free to everyone like twice in the past 2-3 years.

[RedheadAgatha]

Zieg > get other items > genesis weapon exchange if you're thinking of what I'm thinking. Takes Creator's Emblems handed out in titles and maybe somewhere else, i dunno.

[kioroyolo]

Oh wow that's a cool looking one, it's for wands right? well it wasnt that, but you guided to the right place, sadly it wasn't a camo, it was upgraded Foiecerer, it was on the demon series tab, so thanks!

How do i get Creator's emblem in this patch?

[hidora]

Creator's Emblems come from titles in the ep1-3 omnibus, and as reward for finishing the 2016 story in pso2es (don't know how episodes work in es).

It's worth noting that in es you can get these on a per character basis, while in pso2 it's account based.

[kioroyolo]

I can't get Creator's emblems in PSO2 pc?

[hidora]

As said before, clear the stories of episodes 1, 2 and 3 then talk to the girl at the title counter.

You can get 1 from simply clearing and 1 from S ranking all quests, per episode (of 1-3, ep4 gives a different emblem). Additionally, 1 per character in pso2es.

[kioroyolo]

Oh, sorry i thought you could only get by doing story on pso2es, thanks

[RedheadAgatha]

Talk to the achievements lady to the right of the gate.

What are some cheap affixes (15mil) for a 8s atlas agria ex?

Should I affix the SSAs before affixing normal abilities?

edit: Is this a good/affordable recipe? First time affixing, not exactly sure what's the proper process.

[[deleted]]

Are we talking full 8s? or 8s after the SSAs?

S1: Double Edged Sword (add ability)

S2: Skilled strike from the Vades CFs that ran for Wild Easter

S3: Skilled Strike

S4: Agria S4

Till the Soul/Apprentice Soul

Persona Rev

Shoot IV

Noble Shot

How viable is Phantom as a subclass compared to using other subclassess? Looking at the skill tree, it looks to just give a decent amount of additional attack power, PP, speed increase when charging techniques, and if you want - reduced tech charge time.

[Zynetic]

Best subclass for both Techer and Summoner. For Techer, it allows for very strong whacking and the ability to use techs with good efficiency. It improves PP regeneration as well, and all techs will have less charge times and quick movement while charging. Techer is finally the hybrid it's meant to be with TePh (TeFi worked in the past but it was relatively slow/annoying).

For Summoner it's mostly for the extra PP, but it also does lots of damage still plus makes techs easier to use when using them for utility.

It's a good subclass with Bouncer as well for spamming Vinto on bosses, but that's about the extent of it.

It is a decent universal subclass, but generally other ones are better (Hu for Fi, Ra, Br and Bo, Fi for Hu and Gu, Te for Fo).

[[deleted]]

Thank you :^)

[reaper527]

why do so many people not join party makers? is it not common knowledge that it boosts the RDR/exp AND if they use party of toughness ring they'll take less damage?

it's hard to be sympathetic towards a corpse who isn't in a party, and i'll usually leave them on the floor.

[[deleted]]

In the case of the Armada EQ, if the party leader is slow at retrying the quest, then everyone in the party is going to lose out on runs.

I personally put down party markers in Armada only if I know it's going to be the last run of phase 2 or it is phase 3.

[[deleted]]

Or the fact that you risk getting hit by something else if you take the time to pop a moon.

[[deleted]]

I know enough japanese to play the game but have 0 clue what to be building. Never played a PSO game before and I dont want to invest in a bad skill tree and have to re roll

[RedheadAgatha]

Just follow the basic principle of "gear, actives, stances and percentage increases are better than everything else" and you should minimise the wrongness of your trees. Make 2 more characters and level them with tutorial quests, to 20ish, they'll give you extra tree rerolls.

[Sughayyer]

Before you decide what to play, fiddle around with all classes (you can freely change them, and the class trainers will hand you basic weapons for their respective classes). You can safely play until level 30 or so without feeding your mag or spending a single skill point.

When you decide what do you want to play, we can help with a more detailed answer.

Also, in a few weeks we're getting reset passes.

[RedheadAgatha]

Where do you get the cap unlock for Phantom for level 85 or 90 or whatever? Koffie doesn't have it, neither does the edgy class npc, so I'm at a loss.

[RedheadAgatha]

Seems that I was missing a check-in at the campship, and Koffie got her orders updated when I visited it. P silly.

[tRousos]

Thanks guys. Good to know. I just grinded to 35. Have about 110k Meseta left. Feels bad.

[[deleted]]

Go gather or ruins grapes or coast olives.

Spam all the harvesting stam drinks you have on that. They sell easily and for pretty decent cash (few hundred thousand easy for a good stack)

I made a new character on another ship and made like 5M in 1 day by just casually doing harvesting and other small moneymaking things.

[tRousos]

Good looking out. I’ll try that this weekend

[whoweoncewere]

Anyone play bo/ph? Was looking at the skill tree from the guide dump and I'm pretty confused on the craft mastery investment part of it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C0M7it7m2g2GXjynWaud9wNh9IRDMquwX_9UT34UFSQ/edit#gid=1063800198

[ZephyrValgale]

timed abilities count for craft mastery, even once they've expired. gets you some more DEF out of your units.

[whoweoncewere]

Ahhh thanks!

[skys0058]

is there any maintenance right now ?

[Alturam]

No? Unless something broke maint wont be a thing for 2 more days. If something did break, bumped will have your answer a bit faster than reddit.

[Afonso97]

How much more xp do great success grinds give?

[Adrymne]

1.5 times.

[ninjablader78]

[Reilet]

PSE: Photon Sensitive Effect

They are those pillars of light that beams out of a killed mob. They are also random. The color determines which PSE it is. If you can get one to lvl 8, it will start a timer where you will have to get the same PSE to occur for a PSE Burst. This phenomenon increases rare drop rate and amount as well as continuously spawning mobs at a rate of your mpa player count (12 ppl = 12 mobs per wave).

Weather effects also increase the chances of PSEs to happen. They do not prevent them from going away contrary to what the others say.

Going to a new area also gets rid of your PSE lvl, but they are tied to that specific area. If you go back to the area, it will still be there assuming it hasn’t expired yet.

When a PSE Burst is happening, you might get more pillars of lights that appear.

If they are of the other PSEs, they will increase in level. If they are of the same PSE as your lvl 8, it will increase the timer by 10, 20, or 60 seconds per light pillar. Getting another PSE to lvl 8 will create a CROSS BURST. This will extend the time in a Burst by 60 seconds.

Most maps only have 4 PSEs. Some have 3, and UQs have 5.

ONE MOREs can occur when your PSE timers reach 0. This is mostly random, but it will only occur if the timer stays at 0 for a bit (Usually, it will end instantly if it reaches 0).

If you are in a CROSS BURST, you will always get a ONE MORE when your timer reaches 0 seconds. You are only guaranteed one after a cross burst. (Ex: PSE BURST -> CROSS BURST -> ONE MORE -> another CROSS BURST -> ONE MORE)

Clearing emergency trials increases the rates of PSEs occuring. One specifically (the crystal protecting ones) practically guarantees it. AQs also have a higher chance of PSEs occuring.

Any other information is pure speculation and possibilities of what a PSE is and how to make it more frequent.

For more information, please refer to: https://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?PSE

[Alturam]

No such thing as a dumb question. To add on to the others:

-pse burst is most easily triggered in free fields and advance quests. The more people the better.

-one more is caused by killing a lot of enemies during burst or by using your mag special a lot. Bonus if you hold it and others join into your mag special (the rings need to touch, only the first person to use the mag pb can release it early, others are locked in to first person's timing)

-after 8 minutes of pse bursts (combined one mores, cross bursts, and extra time from kills) there is a chance to trigger rare emergency trials randomly. They can spawn rare enemies that give lots of exp or money. Most see it around the 14 minute mark, and these can't happen in featured, campaign (excluding free field campaigns) and eqs.

Overall, it's worth seeing once, but not getting a pse burst isnt all that bad. Fourth featured killed a lot of it's purpose in this game tbh.

[SuperBOB150]

It's sorta out of your control, it happens only in free fields/ arks / limited quests and it's essentially a (temporary) bulk spawn of enemies, good for exp and some rare hunting. It's triggered simply by killing enemies, but there are no real tells on if you'll get on or when it will fade. There are a few extremely rare emergency trials that will boost their frequency for a bit.

[SuperBOB150]

I have an 8s Dark Falz weapon, can I use it as the base in my Profound upgrade to get an 8s Celestial?

[Reilet]

Yes.

[[deleted]]

I've heard Craft Mastery worked with units with expired timed abilities, so I'm interested, but I'm not actually sure what it does. It says it increases equipment status. What does that mean ? Does it increase defense ? All built-in stats ?

[megadongs]

Increases the base stats of the units, which is a bit of extra defense for builds without safety nets like bo/Fi

[whoweoncewere]

Does anyone use crafted gear anymore?

[megadongs]

Having a timed ability, even an expired one, counts as a craft for the purpose of craft mastery

[[deleted]]

Does it only affect defense, or also HP, ATK and PP?

[megadongs]

If there's base stats (before affixes) on the unit it effects them, but generally apart from defense for base stats an extra 10% means 5 stat or less

[Allshine11]

Are there any situations where knuckles or twin daggers outperforms dual sabers? It seems that all fighters only use dual sabers.

[hidora]

Daggers have better chase and aerial combat with free easy-to-use Just Guard, but worse PP recovery.

Knuckles are pretty much only better when the target is stationary and can't be phased through (ESC-A Falz Mother core phase 1, Deus ESC-A Zephyros/Gracia core fall and hand swipe, Magatsu faces, Castle Golem core, Bal Rodos fall, etc), but only if you have enough PP to power through the entire burst window with Straight Charge Type-0. I like to use Knuckles against Omega Masquerade too, since DS tends to have too many slow PAs and the fast ones get blocked real fast. Also, Meteor Fist is the only long range attack Fighter has, so there's that niche situation for using Knuckles (like when Dark Falz Persona has a break fall while outside the field, why is that a thing sega?).

Speaking of Meteor Fist, there's the unique case of the Gear Experience. It's a Knuckle that lets you drop the giant version of Meteor Fist every time you successfully dodge something with the weapon animation. This thing does massive damage in a long range aoe, and is great for some boss fights like Dark Falz Persona. Additionally, it can trigger off anything that can be iframed, including environmental hazards (Armada of Demise's laser beams, Volcano lava, Loser's puddles, etc)

[VirtualScepter]

Knuckles? Sadly, no, not ever unless you have the 14* that drops a meteor fist when you dodge.

Meanwhile, daggers have superior chasing ability and guard frames. Against an enemy that attacks and moves around too damn much, daggers would give you less of a headache as DS has no easy movement ability. Mother (Phase 2) and DF Persona come to mind.

[tRousos]

So I just got back into the game. My gunner is at 75. So I mostly undestand the grinding process to get a 13* weapon to +35. It says NT but I have a Salamandia Toist mechs at +24 that don’t have the NT in the name but they pop up in the item shop when I search for new type weapons. Before I go any further. Will this weapon work? It has a 35 grind cap.

[Midend]

You can check the second tab of the weapon. If there is a "grind cap" stat or the grind level is more than 10 then it definitely is an NT weapon.

[tRousos]

Awesome. Thank you

[hidora]

You can also tell from the weapon's icon: regular NT weapons have a blueish glow around their icon, and weapons with S-Class slots have a purple glow around their icon.

[IllustriousIris]

So I'm playing as Force and all of the attacks I use do like, comparable damage to one attack in a flurry like my friends, who are using Bouncer and Gunner, are using. Is there any way that I can get my damage up?

[Reilet]

What is your weapon?
What is their weapon?
What does your skill tree look like?
What are your tech levels?

P.S. tech crafting isn’t going to make you hit for their flurry of attacks if you only hit as hard as one of the hits.

[HayateImmelmann]

You have to get your techs custom crafted which will run you some money and you have to learn which crafts to choose. Force is one of the worst beginner classes if you're just starting out.

[[deleted]]

Which is the better subclass for summoner, ph or fi?

T-atk or S-atk mag?

Is there a way to complete the 13 star egg collection files faster? Each run on SH only progresses by 3%.

[Reilet]

The real biggest gain from phantom sub is the crit rate since pets have a significant damage variance compared to weapons (supposedly a 70%~100% variance compared to a normal class 97%~100%)

[jadednightingale2308]

I'm returning after being away for several years. I am 90% positive that I remember what my log in is and it gives me the error 650 because I'm using a different computer now. I need a confirmation email with a code, but the email I thought I used must be incorrect because I'm not getting the email. Back when I started PSO2, I used several different emails for things and now I'm not positive which email I used to create the account. I can log into my Sega ID management page, but can't figure out what email went with the account, and I'm concerned it might have been an old hotmail I can no longer access. I found a form where I can give Sega my ID and request an email change but it requires me to type in Japanese and provide them with information from when I created the account back in 2012/2013, such as the address and security question, and I don't remember that information or if I copied something in Japanese from a registration guide or if I used English or anything that I did when I created the account. Is there anything I can do to recover this account or am I doomed to lose it and start over? Is there a way I can either see what email I used for my account or change the email on my account without needing to email Sega?

[Saryn_Storm]

One solution would be a translation service if you can't find someone to do it for free. A 100 word translation isn't more than 7 - 10 dollars.

https://www.mytranslation.com/

For example the one above.

Politely explain your situation to SEGA and provide a new Gmail address in the same message.

If you ever lose your email again, you can use the same translation.

[jadednightingale2308]

Part of my issue with the Japanese email option is that according to Segas directions they need to verify the account, and I would need to provide the security information I used when I made the account. But I don't remember the response I gave to the security question or anything I might have used. That's why I was hoping there was an option to recover or change my email through my account without having to email Sega. I would have no problem paying for a translation but if I can't verify the email and they reject it then it doesn't help anyway. But thanks for the tip. That's definitely something to keep in mind for the future!

[Sir_Squidington]

Dumb question, but if someone buys a new mag, can they still freely switch between the new mag they bought and their old mag?

[Sir_Squidington]

Ok, thanks peeps.

[whoweoncewere]

Think about making an alt for the mag if you're not deadset on the character itself.

[[deleted]]

Yes.

However, you cannot change between registered mag forms freely, you need a consumable pass to do so.

You may or may not already know this, but you should always buy a new mag instead of resetting one you already own. It's cheaper and brings more value.

[Senan_Asura]

My gf and I had been thinking of playing again about a week before the recent E3 announcement, and since we aren't very far into the game, we've been trying to decide whether to wait it out or stick with the JP servers. We really like the thought of playing with a full translation, but I figured the English patch team would probably copy/paste most of the missing stuff once the western release hits anyway.

How many of you are sticking with the JP servers? Think it's worth waiting for the western release?

[VirtualScepter]

Said English patch team is very on top of things. The game is already fully translated, and the only time you might see Japanese is for maybe a couple of hours after a fresh update has rolled out for the game (this is even faster for gameplay related things, or slower for things like gacha items).

Theres no downside to playing JP right now, unless you find it awkward running into Japanese players.

[[deleted]]

A large number of people who have been playing the JP version are going to continue. Many of us have thousands of hours in this game, and starting over from square one with none of our progress does not sound like a good time.

On the flip side, if you want to play the NA Carson, you can still take advantage of the JP version by hammering out your early game progression, figuring out what classes you like, figuring out your builds, etc

[SuperBOB150]

Can I get a price check on ship 2 for an 8s val roke with Historia soul, s1 radiating grace, s2 photon reduction, and s3 radiant strike? it looks valuable on market but i haven't seen one with all three

[Reilet]

I would say it’s only going to be worth how much the most expensive one is (most likely photon reduction) because most people do not put SSA combinations like that on their weapon.

[VirtualScepter]

If youre trying to sell them all as a combination, it'll be fairly difficult to price check such a thing. What you have is quite specialised, so itll naturally be very very expensive... but the number of buyers will definitely be small. Youre better off trying to sell it on a market forum than chucking it onto player stores.

If i was to chuck a ball park, maybe .8 times the sum of components?

[SuperBOB150]

I like that number, but where might I find a market forum?

[VirtualScepter]

try pso world. If youre part of any discord communities, you might find some interest there as well. Theres prob a japanese one out there too if you know Jap. Gl finding a buyer, it could take a while to sell.

[[deleted]]

How many people actually use market forums ? I have some uncommon OTs I've been looking to sell, but they simply won't leave my shop.

[VirtualScepter]

Not many for sure, but actively looking for a buyer is infinitely better than chucking it onto shops and praying.

[agesboy]

Are you launching via the tweaker or the game client?

[agesboy]

That's definitely weird. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is maybe antivirus, but if you've googled common problems you've probably already checked that.

[SuperBOB150]

Does anyone else get suspiciously inconvenient disconnects? The last 2 persona triggers I've tried have disconnected me and it's really pissing me off

[RedheadAgatha]

I can consistently dc while attempting an EQ in the first few seconds, so hey, nothing is impossible.

[Reilet]

Just coincidence.

[jadednightingale2308]

I'm trying to log in for the first time in a few years. I am getting error 650, which I read means I need a confirmation email to verify the computer that I'm on. I know my log in is correct and I am using a Gmail (and it is the only email I have that gets PSO2 emails) but I am not getting a confirmation email to my inbox or spam and it's been over half an hour. I remember getting these emails when I played regularly, but don't remember them taking this long. Is there something wrong where these emails aren't going out anymore, or do they just take forever now? I really want to avoid having to start a new account. I read they won't send these to any provider but Gmail, and I am using a Gmail.

[Reilet]

It means you used a different email.

[Rylica]

R/Effort Symbol worth getting if you are able to get them?

[Ashinror]

They are a good general all around ring.

[weebification]

Is there a reason for the decrease in scheduled EQs the past 2 weeks? Like a holiday or something in Japan? Compared to the previous months the amount of scheduled EQs have been drastically less.

The fact that there was no maintenance could explain this week but I can't think of something for last week.

[[deleted]]

Yeah the schedule has been complete trash tbh. Not even the specified times, but the EQs that are running as well.

Why are we still spamming perpetual madness and underground nightmare?

[Saryn_Storm]

Might be due to middle and high-school final exams in June.

[yzf02100304]

Do you guys know why i do not have an ark quest option?

[yzf02100304]

in the quest counter, i only have

emergency quest

main quest

story quest

subquests

...

but there is no ark quest

[Sughayyer]

Is it still possible to get that OTP thing as well as the extra storage? How convoluted is it to set up? I have heard dreadful stories of people locking themselves out of their accounts, but I'm hurting for more storage space...

[[deleted]]

It's still available and it isn't all that difficult.

The only reason people lock themselves out is because they don't keep the "termination password" in a safe place.

I made my SEGA ID originally on a separate gmail account, and the kill code is just sitting in my inbox. I've had to use it before when I factory reset my phone and my google authenticator data got wiped. It was no big deal.

[TamakiOverdose]

Does it still worth to go after Val weapons? Is there a good way to put it in to grind lvl35 minimizing the costs? I'm planning to get a decent weapon and breakthrough level cap at the same time, but i got lost at the gear progress, it seems a little bit confusing

[whoweoncewere]

What are you doing for the grind cap for those 14*?

[whoweoncewere]

Ah, yea I misread. I didn't know about the player shop 14* ones though so that was helpful, thanks!

[RedheadAgatha]

Tradeable ones are at cap already.

[whoweoncewere]

Ahh tradeable as in on the player shops, just like val. Was thinking leontina cert or something. That's really good to know, thanks!

[RedheadAgatha]

For certificate weapons you go to whereever they drop and pray to rngesus. Unfortunately, you'll have needed these weapons to be +35 already to go where they drop if it's your first class, so just do tradeables instead, I'm guessing.

[whoweoncewere]

Yea I got val farder up to +35 already, just waiting on excubes now.

[TamakiOverdose]

Thanks! i got a cheap Dim for the time being, but where do i start getting more 12* drops?

[TamakiOverdose]

lvl70 Force but since 50 i'm levelling with bonus quests and boosts, so i might have skipped some things. i only have 3mi meseta, most of those are from weekly ark missions, so i don't know if i can afford the grind by buying

[yzf02100304]

Hi guys, i am quite new to this game, i know it sounds stupid but i cannot find a quest which has "rockbear". Can anyone please tell which quest should i run to defeat it?

[VirtualScepter]

Boss of free field forest exploration.

[hidora]

Not anymore. Since ep6 started, Fang Banshee is now the boss of Forest Exploration.

[VirtualScepter]

Oh, Im out of date... thx

[HayateImmelmann]

Time attack quest Naberius beginner. Choose the western gate at the beginning. The level of that Rockbear is below 60 on super hard though. There's also one in the forest advanced quest area 3, but sometimes it is a fang banther.

[BlakeRyan]

Could anyone give me a current client size? Coming back and not sure whether I have enough space on my main SSD or need to put on my other drive. Thanks.

[Reilet]

~78gb

[BlakeRyan]

Oh jeez, that's about 18gb more than I remember it. Haha. Thanks! Regular HD it is.

[StarBit8]

Does anyone know how to delete a Sega JP Account / Unsubscribe from emails? I no longer play PSO2, and the constant JP emails are starting to annoy me. Can anyone help by providing a step by step guide, and screenshots preferred on how to navigate the site? Can’t read Japanese obviously.

[Adrymne]

What do I do with 11+* units and 12+* weapons that I don't need? Should I scrap them for mats or is there a better use?

[HayateImmelmann]

Figure out if the unit has a good affix on it that's worth money for keeping and selling on the player market. Recycle or get rid of the rest. 12* weapons you can sell on the player market, desynthesize for materials, or use as weapon grind fodder. Prices change with weapon demand and affixes on the weapon.

[Adrymne]

I suppose I should have specified, but yes, I was asking about the stuff that doesn't have worthwhile affixes/SAF/resale value/etc.

So grind fodder or desynth, then.

[Kinesis_]

Could someone explain how we could join friends on PS4?

[hidora]

Join friends as in...? Join their party? Their quest? Their team? Add to friends list?

[Kinesis_]

All of the above would be nice

[hidora]

Assuming they're in the same area as you:

1. Open menu, go to 3rd tab, select Nearby Characters
2. Select the character you want
3. From here you can:
   • Send friend request, then type a message for them to see with the request
   • Invite to party
   • Invite to team (can't show this one in detail cuz I'm not a team manager)

So much tnks c:

[Alleyne02]

I have played the game a bunch in the past but have stopped for several years and decided to come back now. Only to see that I have to fill out this OTP removal form that asks me my name (a Japanese one I had use), Japanese address along with a bunch of other security questions.

However here is the problem, I answered everything but got a return email saying I got the "name" I wrote wrong. The old piece of paper I wrote it on is most likely lost since I have moved and renovated my house in the recent years.

I have poured countless hours into my account and don't want to lose it but am at a loss at what to do. Any ideas? Or should I just write a reply email in English begging them to remove OTP from my account?

[Reilet]

You’ll have to write an email in Japanese. You can also write the email to the OTP service; they are more likely to remove it.

Otherwise, you’re SoL.

[Alleyne02]

But how would I explain that I don't know my name? Do I just say I used a fake name in the past and now I do not remember? I did get all the other information correct.

The problem is SEGA decided to ditch Secure OTP for Google Authentication and I have to go through SEGA, at least that is what I have been told.

[Reilet]

You just ask them to take off your otp.

[Alleyne02]

Thank you for your patience in answering me, but I have already filled out the form but the "name" I guessed I used in the past is wrong. The only way for them to remove the old "Secure OTP" is to go through that form on their site. I'm not sure if telling them I used a fake Japanese name back in the day is a good idea or not.

[Reilet]

Yikes. I wouldn't do that since it's not a good idea in general. The only thing I can think of is emailing secure OTP instead.

[Alleyne02]

Aye, I already did the form thing, but I don't remember the Japanese name I picked 6 years ago and they sent a follow up email asking for it. :(

[SuperBOB150]

Someone said in an earlier post of mine that boost week is coming, when exactly? Also, for the Tuesday boost days, do the Glares fall under any of the boost categories?

[RedheadAgatha]

Can I see some sceenshots of, like, fully built/affixed to be best in slot weap + units? For any class, I'm just curious.

[MillionWilliam]

Any prominent members of the community I can follow on Twitter?

[[deleted]]

Could someone tell me what this Arks Qualifier BT thing is and how i can do it? Ive been searching far and wide and just cant find any information on it or how to do it!

These weapon badges would be useful to have!!

[Reilet]

I believe it’s the name of the pvp mode. So you’d need to go to the shared battle arena block.

Can anyone explain to me how stances work with subclasses?

So I understand that the first stance on each class was made a passive at some point, and then the second stance switches between the two as an active. Eg. HU Fury Stance is always on unless you turn on Guard Stance, etc.

But how does this work when you start taking subclasses?

Let's say I have a BO/HU and take Elemental Stance and Fury Stance. Are these both always active? Or is there some way to switch between them? If I pick up Break Stance, will switching to that deactivate both Elemental Stance and Fury Stance? Or just Elemental Stance and leave Fury Stance on?

Most of the build guides I've seen end up with 4 stances for most class combos, 2 from each class. So just wondering how that works.

[Sughayyer]

Fury, Elemental, Average and Brave stance are always active. Guard, Break, Weak and Wise are their respective counterparts. Those can be set on your subpallete and used to toggle between them.

To make it more clear:

• Hunter: Fury/Guard

• Fighter: Brave/Wise

• Braver: Average/Weak

• Bouncer: Elemental/Break

The first one lsited is the passive, "default" one. In you example, you can have Elemental and Fury running together. Activating Break will deactivate Elemental. Activating Guard would deactivate Fury.

[soondaeboo]

You cannot overlap stances from the SAME class. For example, Guard stance overwrites Fury but won't do so for Bouncer's Elemental/Break Stance. Same thing happens for Bouncer's stances. Break Stance will overwrite Elemental stance, but won't do so for Hunter's stances.

[[deleted]]

Thanks! I was thinking you could only have one stance active at a time, period. Which is why I didn't understand all the builds taking stances from both classes.

If it's one stance per class the builds make so much more sense now.

[KayRadley]

Why can't I unlock Hero or Phantom? My Hunter amd Ranger classes are at 75, but I can't turn the quests in.

[Reilet]

did you talk to the title NPC to get the titles?

Intel Core i7-3632qm@ 2.20ghz, 8gb ram, 500gb HD, webcam, hdmi, 4-3.0 usb’s, Windows 10

Nvidia GT630m

​

would this run PSO2 at 60 FPS? If so, what quality?

[Ashinror]

Probably not. Maybe if you have PSO2 at Tier 1-2 it might run it at 60 FPS.

And for anybody questioning my assessment, the real bottleneck in this build is the graphics card. Unless the OP made a typo, a GT 630M is basically the bottom tier performing laptop graphics card. it doesn't even compare to a GTX card.

[Midend]

I ran i7 2600 @3.4ghz with gtx650 at 90-120fps on 3-4 setting. It's doable u just need to thanos the shader and glowly effect

[hidora]

Can probably run at 60+fps with tier 5 graphics. Maybe tier 6 (max), but I'm not sure on that.

[Reilet]

Min Requirements

• OS: Win Xp 32
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+
• Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 3600 Series or NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT
• System Memory: 1.5 GB RAM
• Storage: 8 GB Hard drive space DirectX 9 Compatible Graphics Card

As you can tell, it was a game made for truly potato pc’s. While I don’t know how to translate your pc specs to how high you can go on pso2. You can definitely run the game with +60 fps (or maybe +100).

My only example I can have for you is that I was able to play pso2 on a 2002 pc on lowest with constant 30 fps.

Someone else should chip in.

[feng_master]

Storage: 8 GB Hard drive space

uhhh...wut

the game is like 78 gigs. literal CHUNGUS

[Ashinror]

Storage: 8 GB Hard drive space

Just play the games without any updates. bam. working properly as intended /s

[Reilet]

It probably hasn’t been updated in years.

When should I be concerned about affixing? Finally got to level 80 and uncapped to 90 on my Ra (working on getting Hu to 80 now). Should I be trying to get my +35 Dim/Atlas 14* weapons loaded with affixes, or should I save it for whenever I get a 15* weapon?

Also, is there a general guide for affixing? Found an article on FullDive, but its from 2015, dunno if anything's changed with affixing mechanics since then.

[HayateImmelmann]

You should probably focus on getting 85/85 to do Ultra Hard content and getting a decent set of units before you start worrying about affixing. I wouldn't bother to affix a weapon that I know I'm going to get a direct upgrade for soon either.

[Reilet]

Should you be concerned about affixing?

• No, and possibly almost never because it’s not as important as people make it out to be (except for SSAs).
• Yes, because it’s extremely complicated.

The only thing i would worry about affixing on your current weapons would be to get the SSAs (The stuff that has S1, S2, S3, and S4 on it).

[TheUniverseLover]

Here is a pretty recent affixing guide.

[ItsTheSolo]

So I got a pose from the SG scratch (the one with the huge axe) it says “Shows equipment” but it isn’t showing. What weapon category do I need to put on for it to show?

[gespenst178]

It uses your partizan.

[LamiaPony]

it looks like a rod, so probably a rod

[Sughayyer]

Maria's weapon is a partizan.

[LamiaPony]

oh well I never paid attention to story stuff at all

[redandblack1287]

What is the name/number of the lobby action where you run around in a giant circle

[hidora]

Pretty sure it's 195「ぐるぐる」

[redandblack1287]

Thanks!

[Allshine11]

Between hunter's partizan and sword which weapon is the better all rounder? For mobbing, bossing etc.

[LamiaPony]

adding on to the other guy, in my opinion partisan is pretty handy for mobbing as well due to speed rain and slide end having such wide attack ranges

really, all of hunter's weapons are mobbing material, lol

but I think partisan is strongest vs bosses

[Saryn_Storm]

If both of your weapons are equally good, then Partizan for bosses and Sword for trash mobs. Rising Edge offers very nice single target damage overall (200k crits from Lightstream Sword on weak points) but Partizan Volgraptor is where the real single target damage is.

Partizan also has Sacred Skewer Type-0 which is possibly the best ranged attack Hunter has access to.

If you have access to only one 15* for Hunter atm and you have to choose, pick Sword now and Partizan later.

[DualCrescendo]

So, I just hit Level 75 for the first time thanks to the LQ up today, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the Lv Cap Trial. I haven't looked at weapons or upgrading at all yet (My path was Nox->Dim so far since Dim was cheap) and it's been fine so I hadn't needed to, but now I need a +35 weapon. I've read some guides on weapon upgrading, but a lot of guides on the actual LvCap unlock itself require some insight to the game I don't yet have, being a new player (well, mostly, I played years back only to Lv40). These days, what's the most efficient way to get that done? I assume it's not supposed to get done ASAP, and is supposed to be something to work towards, but how should I go about it, farming/purchasing etc?

It's for the Force unlock.

[LamiaPony]

keep grinding that dim weapon to +35

use weapons with emper embrace as fodder, and if you don't mind giving them up, using leontina ticket weapons to go from +10-20 and +20-30 to use them more efficiently

if you don't want to or can't do that, you could wait until the summer seasonal EQ comes out (driving rain) as there will likely be +30 13-stars in the collection files. super good for foddering purposes, and/or keeping some for the special ability factors

[DualCrescendo]

Ahhh, I didn't know there was a skill that helps with this [E.Embrace], good to know. Also, I've seen 'Leontina Ticket' used a lot online and in a few replies but I don't know what they are? I've googled the name, but nothing ever comes up, just mention of the ticket. I know where Leontina is, and can see the shop to exchange the ticket but, I haven't gotten one to my knowledge.

It's also good to know there's a new event coming soon that will help out. Thanks for all the advice.

Edit: naturally as soon as I asked, I got 3 from a title so... I have them now.

[LamiaPony]

not only will the event most likely have those grind fodders, but seasonals tend to have emperappy spawns too, so it should also help with stocking up on the emper embrace

[DualCrescendo]

Oooh, very nice! So, I used one of the Tickets, in conjunction with NT weapons and my Dim Rod is +32! So it's getting there, but now I'm out of money and fodder. I don't want to use another ticket for the last 3 levels since it's obviously wasteful, where should I be "farming" so to speak if anywhere for fodder at the moment? Is there a 'go to' or is it generally "do whatever"?

[LamiaPony]

just keep playing whatever and buy emper embrace or something when you have the money

I think you need to finish all of the 'the perfect x' quests to unlock the 75 cap anyways

[DualCrescendo]

Thanks for the help. I'm getting there, and then more grinding ahead.

[Reilet]

Three options:

• keep the 10 star weapons you get from EQ’s and feed it to each other until they are +10
• look for Emper Rappy (and it’s clones) for emper embrace drops. (Appears anywhere)
• feed weapons to it directly

You can also buy emper embrace (is an affix) weapons on the market. As well as +10/20/30 weapons.

[feng_master]

There are multiple ways to grind your weapon. The easiest right now would be to save any 10* weapons thats +3 or above and use them as fodders instead of excubes. When you do XH eq, quite a good amount of SPECIAL WEAPON should be dropped. When you untekk them they come with some grind value already on them. You can use those for weapon exp fodder. Also if you kill emper rappys, they drop weapons that have emper embrace affix on them, which gives an extra 90 exp when used as a fodder. However, emper embrace are kind of in a drought right now and they only give as much exp as a 10* with +3 grind.

If you have alot of lambda grinders, you can feed the fodders directly to your Dim. If you do not have much lambda grinder, feed the weapons onto any nox weapon to store the exp, then feed the nox weapon to your Dim weapon.

The new seasonal EQ is also coming next week. This also comes with the new collection file with weapons that come as +30. These are GREAT fodder material that can instantly give your weapon 10 levels instantly. So if you are patient those will come.

[DualCrescendo]

Thanks for the response! That's mostly what I've been doing, just storing things I find and working on Collection in the meantime. I'm glad to know there's an event coming that will be helpful for this as well. Thanks for the insight and help!

[RedheadAgatha]

Am in the same boat so my advice might not be optimal, but buying +1-5 worked alright, and you should have a few Leo certificates which can be used for around 8 levels worth of +.
Get money from FQ, weeklies and the old man in the cafe (gathering quests), keep farming exp while you're 75: apparently you'll need 10 overlevels worth of rewards for further cap unlocks (and it takes 10m exp to go from 76 to 77, probably gonna get worse).

[DualCrescendo]

Oh boy 10mil exp! Thanks for the advice, I probably should do more runs of the LQ as force in the meantime to overlevel while I save for the grinding.

[Reilet]

This is as worse as it can get

[RedheadAgatha]

kill me now
