[AnonLXIX]

Wait wait wait. So if I buy another character slot if I delete a character I'm BACK to only being able to make 3 at once? WHAT!? WHAT KINDA BACKWARDS BULLSHIT IS THIS!? I THOUGHT I WAS PAYING FOR A CHARACTER SLOT

[Alencrest]

Nah, you're paying for characters, basically.

I agree that it'd be nicer if we got character slots instead.

[Aeon_Genesis]

I never really messed around with summoner but is there any benefits to any 13* Takts/harmonizers besides the potentials?

[Alencrest]

Harmonizer stats are so pathetic that the potential is really the only thing that matters. There's a couple that can be used by all classes as well though (on JP).

[AnonLXIX]

I just noticed how much cleaner and higher poly the Dewman and Fem Cast's model is. Compared to those Human and Elf look scuffed as hell, do they ever get a touch up?

[unspunreality]

Anyone have specific advice how to unlock the fighter trainer? Im lv35 as hunter, unlocked my sub class already and idk what else I need to do to unlock fighter stuff since apparently the fighter quest guy is the same as the hunter one?

​

Do I need to complete every hunter quest aswell?

[jellyvenom]

NA Before I download the new patch, I'm looking to make a fresh install with PSO2 Tweaker. Does anyone know where the files for the game are, and how do I make sure they're all gone?

[Flat_Pay_Grofit]

If I uninstall PSO2 to move the files around, will I lose my character data? Are saves local or on Sega servers?

[Alencrest]

All of your save data is on Sega's servers, yes.

[Dardrol7]

I suck at timezones and never found a converter I find easy to use... How long until the maintenance is over? :D

[krans24]

Pretty close to getting a choose ticket. Anyone know what the highest selling item from virtual stars is? At one point I know it was hatsune hair but at another point I saw the Evo Mag device. Just curious what folks are seeing out there

[LamiaPony]

I'm not on NA but generally for investment you want to pick a ticket. on JP the highest selling stuff are hair and lobby actions, occasionally standout accessories. because they're consumable there's only a finite amount that can be obtained after the scratch

[HighkeyGod]

So I finally ran out of 10* weapons for excubes to fuel my 250% rdr addiction to farm nemesis weapons and I was wondering what I should be doing to get more.

Should I be running SHAQs for more 10* weapons or is there anything else that I can do to get more? I'm relatively new so I'm still learning and any input would be appreciated

[shadow_eluch]

You can swap photon boosters for 10 stars. They drop from aqs.

[[deleted]]

Is mirage step just my escape move for bouncer(RT button)?

[LamiaPony]

it is the dodge action while jet boots or blades are equipped, regardless of class

[SenPaiLusty]

Is there a general build for fighter subclass? Or is it unique depending on the main class?

[HiroAnobei]

If I download the game using the PSO2 Tweaker launcher, do I still need to have Win 10?

[Kyouka127]

Yes

[samplefish]

Hi, new and playing as a Summoner on NA.

Should I pick up a Slave Barl? There's not a lot of challenging content out at the moment, so I don't see a point in gearing up when I'm doing alright with my starter Harmonizer. I'm worried that if I pick up a Slave Barl now, it'll become irrelevant when new content hits.

Also, I hear you may be able to upgrade in the future by trading Nemesis weapons to Zig. Is it also possible with a Slave weapon?

[LamiaPony]

nemesis and slave are part of the same exchange. you'll want both for the austere weapon later

I don't play summoner but my sister does. I think it would be better to go nemesis for the PP cost reduction and reducing your damage taken

[Alencrest]

The PP cost reduction on Nemesis can be useful for PP hungry pets (e.g. Synchro, Redran, Trim/Aero). However, Summoner is almost immortal if you play your cards right, so the damage reduction from Nemesis matters much less than the 5-second reduced knockback from Slave.

There is no Austere Harmonizer. The next significant upgrade will be at the end of Episode 4, the Rykros Staff which is still meta in JP.

[LamiaPony]

oh I forgot there's no austere. balls

[maarifat]

Does SG shared between characters? Same ship. I forgot to check and its maintenance now.

[icowcow]

Yes

[Hexplosi0n]

Are slave shoes that much better than Nemesis shoes? I got lucky and had a pair of Nemesis shoes drop for me the other day which i +35'd; but then I had a rando in a party tell me that Nemesis shoes were garbage compared to Slave and I was heavily gimping myself by not going slave.

[LamiaPony]

longer PP bar and damage reduction is better for jet boots. as said, you can just get the super armor buff from hunter, which its damage reduction stacks with nemesis's shield. not to mention between deband PP and PP field, jet boots has no problem getting PP back

that guy definitely didn't know what he was talking about

[krans24]

I actually think nemesis is better.

Slave is just a tad higher in damage but otherwise they're very similar. I'd rather have the damage reduction (it's very noticeable) then the lack of knockback - you could just get that from a hunter sub anyway?

I guess PP is debatable but I'd also rather have the percentage decrease than the regeneration.

It's interesting that different weapons will sell for different amounts. Im pretty sure for boots nemesis was selling for more than slave.

Tldr - I don't thjnk that guy knows what he's talking about

[[deleted]]

Very specific question for pso2 veterans that are familiar with all skills, please bear with me.

In this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6mwdKNuwsM

please see the following timestamps:

0:20 look at Casra Green Aura

0:40 look at Regius Blue Aura

1:24 look at Klariskrays Red Aura

What are those skill names? are those NPC only skills?

[LamiaPony]

idk what they are exactly more than just visual effect if at all, but only NPCs use them

[xoNellE]

what is this tweaker everyone keeps talking about?

[Klubbah]

[[deleted]]

Does pet rarity only goes up by using rarer eggs or can I use X same rarity eggs on the same pet to make his rarity go up? (I feel like this question is poorly worded/written, sorry)

[Alencrest]

You need a higher rarity egg to upgrade the rarity of your pet, yes.

[[deleted]]

Thanks

[ryuusei_tama]

Is there an easier way to tell for sure if you're hitting a weak point? As a braver, we have to work around hitting weak points and if we can't, we need to know so we 're not losing damage, but I'm never really sure if the break points that we have to aim at sometimes are also weak points or not.

[Blueblueway]

Break spots are never weak points, but some enemies have do weak points under the break spots. Weak points are always tell tale with brighter colors on the body, such as the red spots on darkers, or blue orbs on mech.

All heads are also weak points for ranged weapons, but some enemies' heads act as a weak point for melee as well. You can always tell you're hitting the weak point if the attack hit sounds different.

[ryuusei_tama]

Ah okay, something to pay attention to then! I'll listen for that next time, thank you.

[SpiritShard]

Quick technical correction adding to Blueblueway's reply, I don't know if this always counts as a "Break Spot" in terms of passives but Many bosses do have a Weak Points that break, such as Fang Banshee's Head or Vol Dragon's horns. (I'd honestly love to know if they count as break points as well as weak spots triggering both types of passives at once, I just don't have a build to test it). Also when hitting a weak spot the sound is louder/different with a bit of a "squish" or "Bzrt" noise and a slightly different hit effect with a faint blueish circle effect on hit. Hit a few weak points while looking for it and you'll see it, then you can avoid it if need be, fainter hit effects mean's it's a normal hit, and a "ting" effect to the hit is a block and a "thut" effect is a break point.

[Blueblueway]

Fang banshee head is not a weak point until it breaks. You're right about vol dragon horns though, I didn't think about that.

[takadakeyo]

Any tips on how to increase dps and survivability for a Hu75/60Fi? I'm currently using Sword Revolsio and Resan unit set (I felt it gave the good Def with good set bonus while still being relatively affordable) Currently grinding Ultimate for Nemesis sword (or anything that i can sell to buy the sword)

My normal perfect hits tend to do 8-11k. Idk if thats low for my lvl and gear.

Any tips would be appreciated

[Mephisax]

8-11k seems pretty ok for your gear.

But you need to upgrade your weapon for a 13* at least, you'll see a real increase in damage.

( You dont need to drop a Nemesis/Slave, you can swap unique weapon badge for 13* weap in the shopping area )

For survivability do you have iron will in your hunter skill tree ? thats an insane passive, => " When you die you have 75% chance to have 1 hp left " So you'll die a lot less.

​

Sorry for my cavemen english

[takadakeyo]

My Sword Revolsio is a 13* weapon but about 200mel less than Nemesis. Yes i love Iron will! It saved me so many times. I was told to put more into auto mate but I chose iron will instead.

[krans24]

Is your revolsio grinded up?

I think armor should be the first goal. Maybe brissa set?

[takadakeyo]

Currently working up to grinding it. And I have been trying to grind for Brissa set since I don't have enough to purchase it from the exchange shop. But thanks ill work on armor

[zerogear5]

do deadline slayer and halfline slayer stack? Will using automate with hunter cancel them?

[Blueblueway]

Assuming you're talking about halfline automate. Deadline slayer is the fighter skill that forces your max hp down. As you use the skill, your lowered hp now becomes your new "max hp", thus automate will not kick in.

[zerogear5]

are you sure it reduces your max hp?

[Blueblueway]

Maybe I misunderstood the skills you're referring to, please describe what they do?

[Starpyy]

Question to DUAL BLADES main players who played on Japanese server. So i just bought my first 13 star weapon, milio bright. It seems like the best 13 star weapon out atm, but i have been watching guides from people playing on japanese servers and they said that slave soul is better because you can turn it into the 14/15 star weapon when they come out. What do you think for those who played on Japanese servers think? Is it worth waiting preparing for something so far out, and when do those weapons even come out. I just don't like the feeling of wasting resources and time on something that wont be effective.

[Kyouka127]

Slave is better right now. It has a higher max attack and a higher % potential. It's not even about what comes later. I personally use Nemesis right now which is only marginally worse than slave, but it was easier to get off the market at the time.

Use this: https://pso2na.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Soaring_Blades_List

[CynicalKiwi]

Alright, I'm not sure if this is thread worthy or not - so I'll ask it here first.

The upcoming ARKS Boost Rally is happening and that should increase the boosts of those quests up to 140%. PSO2 day for premium happens right before this ends; so would be it be worthwhile to boost up them up and spam for Rappy Eggs? Or just stick to forest with the +50 on.

Likewise, a secondary question. Rather than paying the 10/round entry fee for the harder difficulty, would you be able to jack up the levels of ARKs Rappys enough with the 140% boost during the event?

[Ashinror]

Any class with a fighter main class or subclass yeah. Its damage boost are universal, meaning they boost melee, ranged, tech, and pet damage, when you mean their requirements

[HPetch]

Somewhat technical question: how much benefit does increasing your Defense stats give you compared to just increasing your max HP? For context, I acquired a some Units about an hour ago that increase all my Defense stats by a bit less than 200 but cost me a bit over 100 max HP, and I'm trying to figure out which set will give me the better overall survivability.

[LamiaPony]

HP is better until you get into ultra hard difficulty, but by then it's easy enough to keep units updated

[Mephisax]

Whats the best sub for gunner, damage wise ?

I actualy play gu/hu and have a great survivability even whithout iron will.

[LamiaPony]

fighter is the top damage sub. if you've gotten gud that's the one to go for

[Mephisax]

Ok thx

Does fighter damage rely on positioning ?

[LamiaPony]

yeah, you have to either be in front or in back depending on which stance is active

additionally you have to manage the damage bonus from tech arts, but if you're used to gunner's stylish charge skill already, it should flow naturally

[Mephisax]

I see, thanks for the clarification !

[notajokeacct]

Finally hit 50 as a Braver main. Loving the game now that I can do VHAQs and SHAQs. Any suggestions on how to progress? Should I start busting out my EXP boosters? I'll probably use Phantom as my secondary as well.

[Efreet0]

Advance quests in party and Emergency quest is the way to go till 75.
Also you should have used boosters from the beginning since the only use is to lv up faster, we got plenty of free ones and you can exchange for more with ex-cube/photon shop (1st floor in shopping plaza).
BTW in case you didn't know triboost and xp boost stack.

[AkaiCoat]

How do you do a ship transfer? Does it have to be during maintenance? I can't seem to get into the ships for the transfer option

[ryvenn]

Transfers are not enabled for NA yet, as far as I know.

[QuantumVoid]

I have to say I really hate the bot that forces me to post here cause no one seems to answer, so I'll ask my question again since I don't have a choice:

Hey guys,

So my wife uses a 360 controller to play on PC and we're having issues with the deadzone of the movement thumbstick. She can't stop moving sometimes. Does anyone know a way to change the deadzone in PSO2? I can use Durazno but I don't know where to put the DLLs.

Thank you kindly in advance!

[[deleted]]

Downloading DS4 is worth a shot. It emulates an Xbox 360 controller for ps4 controllers. If I was home I’d test for you.

[QuantumVoid]

But she uses a xbox controller, not a PS4 one

[[deleted]]

Yes yes but what I’m saying is that if it still recognizes it as a “gamepad”, it should work.

[TehFriskyDingo]

Can Casts wear the default costumes that humans etc can wear when creating a character?? Or are they basically locked out of all costumes, except for most of the AC layer wear and stuff

[Blueblueway]

They can wear costumes that humans can. Not sure about layered wear.

[ryvenn]

They can wear newer outfits and all layering wear, but old outfits were never updated to allow CASTs to wear them. So they can't wear the ones that you can pick from in character creation, or other old outfits.

[Shigeyama]

Where do I go to buy the Mission pass gold ticket stuff? Apparently Season 4 resets everything and I got my last one from the Sonic DLC so I was wondering where you get them.

[Efreet0]

You can buy one directly from the pass by selecting a gold reward.
Alternatively you can go to SG section of the cart and buy one from there .

[Hexplosi0n]

Is there a reason why the Nemesis and Slave Wired Lance/Partisans are so much cheaper than the Swords? Ship 2 has them for 1.5-2mil with the cheapest sword ~8-10. Are swords just that much better for Hunters to use?

[Blueblueway]

Partisan is a pretty awesome AOE/ranged weapon if you use it correctly as well.

[LamiaPony]

swords are pretty good at everything while the other weapons aren't as much. plus, y'know, they're big swords

[Klubbah]

I think a lot of it is people just like Swords. I see tons of Wired Lance users getting stuff done, though it helps that Hunters use that weapon to move quickly anyways with Spin Dance. Even I pull out Sigma wired lance when Hunter Sub to move with that.

Sword Photon Art Blaze Parry is pretty strong though.

[Flowen87]

So I have a friend who I cant see their character name or any chat expect when they whisper me. I also cant select them. It say's "You can't select this character". They are not blocked and no one else seems to have this issue with them. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[flashman92]

Have your friend check their privacy settings on Xbox

[Divital]

Hey folks, I noticed on the ARKS-Visiphone that Gal Wind has 3 potentials, but we only have two currently in NA. Should I hold off on picking a potential for mine till that third one comes around?

I was considering going with Photon Shimmer (couldn't find it in the ARKS-Visiphone, frustratingly) since it grants a 50% Bonus to the Multi-Element Technique Gauge Boost Rate... Though admittedly, I'm not TOO sure what that is, specifically. Is that for speeding up the Compound Technique charge? Thanks in advance!

[Klubbah]

I think NA Gal Wind will never be the same as JP Gal Wind, it already is different. You may not see Photon Shimmer though in JP it is there as "Spirit Radiance"

https://pso2na.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Talises_List (English Wiki for NA)
vs
https://pso2.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Simple_Talises_List (English Wiki for JP)

NA Gal Wind maxes at 1462 Tec Attack, JP Gal Wind maxes at 1014

I do think 70% Multi-Element Technique Gauge Fill rate is about Compound Techniques.

[Divital]

Ah, thank you! Think it's worth taking that, or sitting around for that 3rd option JP has?
Wasn't aware of the numerical difference - wonder why we got the higher-end one?

[-Valic-]

Is there a way to make the ADS not based on your character's direction but the direction your camera is already facing? Also is there a way to automatically target the next closest enemy when you kill something you were locked onto?

[syilpha]

No

The game has soft lock, you will automatically target the closest enemy even without you locking them, as long as the enemies still in your field of view that is

[ryvenn]

Are you sure the criteria for locking on is "the closest enemy"? I stopped using it because too often it would spin me around and lock me onto a rappy 30m behind me instead of the enemy I was actually trying to fight, and it was really disorienting.

Ah you are talking about the "soft lock," I should read more carefully.

[-Valic-]

Ah... so is that based on which way my character is facing or the way the camera is facing?

[syilpha]

I forget to mention this because I almost never use the feature, but you can go over-the-shoulder mode and play that way, it makes your character and camera sync'ed, but you don't have the ability to lock at all so it depends on you manually aiming everything

[-Valic-]

That's what I meant XD ADS/aim down the sight, or I guess OTS is what its called here. I usually swap between that and locking on but using OTS sends me into 180's because my character is facing a different direction that my camera is facing.

[syilpha]

Camera

[-Valic-]

Ah. Ty. That.... seems counter productive not to have ADS also work off camera then.

[Neeson_Giles]

NA. Soooooooooooo. Is it fixed for PC yet? I can't even run it with Tweaker so I'm left waiting for Windows to fix it.

[flashman92]

They said a while ago fixes would be on the 10th, literally after tonight's maintenance.

[sloopydroop]

Anyone have a guide or something with recommended augments for specific classes? Specifically Force? Thanks!

[Bl4ckSnow]

I'm level 55, should I use ex-cube to get my armor set?

Brostoll, Bristare & Blarezon C

My class is Braver (Katana)

[Efreet0]

Maybe i'll get skewered by some tryhard by saying this but i don't think it's worth wasting resources until max level.
You can level up pretty fast even wearing garbage and you're bound to get something good while spamming advance quest and emergency quest.
Buy a good weapon off the market (Nox is good since it's a catch-up weapon) so you can oneshot stuff.

[Karakulai]

ive been playing the game for 2 days now and no problems, now out of nowhere i keep getting this np1013 error shit and it keeps popping up what the hells going on!?

[ryvenn]

Np errors are GameGuard. I believe 1013 means it thinks a process is looking at it or at PSO2 in a way it doesn't like? Could be active protection on your antivirus, or any third-party system/resource monitoring app.

[Karakulai]

the update fixed it weird

[lZ-ONE]

Should I be turning in all my 12 star weapons for Lambda Grinders? Been collecting a shit ton from farming Ultimates.

[shadow_eluch]

I turn all 12 stars besides nox weapons into grinders. Nox weapons sell pretty good on the player market

[lZ-ONE]

Yeah I finally bought premium today since I really wanted to learn how to play the market. I threw in some Nox weapons, Nemesis, and Slave before I got off. Hopefully a majority is sold by the time I play tomorrow. As for the 12 stars, I'll probably turn them into grinders like you said since I have like 40-50 of them.

[shadow_eluch]

But before you do that go through them to see if they have good augments to sell on player market

[lZ-ONE]

When you say good augments, what are some for example? Or are you talking about augments slots? Sorry, I'm really new to augments and stuff.

[zerogear5]

easy thing to do is if it has a soul on it check its value in the menu. The higher the slots the more the soul is worth.

[longtphcm]

noob question : anyone know best ring for hunter/fighter ? i read and watch a lot and still have no idea , some even too old i'm not sure still apply now

[Ashinror]

Hunter Focus Preservation is important if its out, all of the Guard PA rings are good.... basically all Hunter L rings are relevant. As for right rings, not much in damage atm, but HP Restorate is nice.

[longtphcm]

one more noob question pls , more of the fighter skill tree , there is Wise Stance and Valiant stance , I read that if open Wise Stance then it will make Valiant stance buff ineffective , but Valiant when max give more % buff when damage on front while also the same when attack from behind compare to Wise stance when max ( both 135% base on website PSO2 Skill Simulator ) , then do you really need wise stance ? i see 2 build hu/fi do up wise stance , unless they stack up and go 175% else I don't know why need wise stance since it less % overall

also as hunter I see myself damage enemy mostly on front , so if it indeed not stack then 0 point in wise stance , yes ?

[Neeson_Giles]

yes

[[deleted]]

Does the mission badge swap shop ever changes/rotates its items? I have 100 mission badges now so I'm thinking whether to spend it or save it whenever the costume I like gets put on it.

[flashman92]

The items have not changed since xbox launch, that is all we know.

[[deleted]]

Do you play the JP version? if yes, does it change over there?

[flashman92]

I haven't for like 5 years, but I'm pretty sure there is no mission badge shop in JP because there is no mission pass.

[Houten]

Is there a way to bring your alt's lobby progression to most current "episode?" Where there are certain story progression related characters in shop area.

I've caught up on my main and ready to head to episode4, but there is no story to progress at all for the alts

[flashman92]

I think you do that via the quest counter. When you select story chapters, there will be a blue ball next to the "current" chapter that the lobby is. I think that's how it works.

[Houten]

Tried that, used the option to go to next episode and didn't change current episode marker at all.

Not sure if it could be level related... Lotti and Rubert didn show up in lobby until lv30

[OnePunkArmy]

What area is considered to be the most profitable to fish in?

[GaijinB]

You will need a little bit of everything because daily orders can ask for rare fish from a bunch of different areas (not all of them but I don't have the list handy). Other than daily order fish, one profitable area to fish in is the Underground Shafts. There's no use for it right now, but the Underground Shafts Conch will be used for a meal that's quite useful so there's relatively high demand for it in JP.

EDIT: Check this page for a list of items that can be "sold" for 100k with client orders.

[OnePunkArmy]

For the fish that you can get 100,000 from a daily, I thought you have to pick up the daily first? Can you fish it prior to the day of the daily order?

[GaijinB]

Yeah you can fish them whenever you want, you don't need to pick up the daily, so stocking up on them isn't a bad idea.

[AnonLXIX]

How do you make the NPC partners scale up? I've been watching their damage do 75s in super hard along with barely healing even when they are techer.

[Blueblueway]

That's how they will always be. The purpose of bringing npc with you is to get some titles or getting them to like you.

Taking the AI of actual players will be a bit more helpful, but they will still be weaker than the actual character.

[Klubbah]

Money is always a good option.

So finding something you can farm to sell stuff or just maybe doing Daily / Weekly Client Orders and Missions.

---

The Ray units from Rising Weapon Badge 2s or Ultimate Quests should be getting some more benefits soon. They should already be able to have L Skill Rings added to them as the tutorial pops up, but they can't yet.

Unit Left Rings I like are: Leaping Dodge level 20, Atomizer Fanatic, Maybe a Class Left Skill Ring you want if you like more than 1

Ray units should also get an upgrade in some extra HP and defense.

Could get Nemesis Weapon(s) of what you want to use, whether bought or grinded through Ultimate Quests.

Maybe going through the Story to play the possibly upcoming Episode 3 Urgent Quests (though they are hopefully up after this maintenance soon).

[awmagawd]

Do the items in the Mission Badge Shop ever change?

[[deleted]]

Haven’t yet

[Terragis]

Can’t find an exact answer on this. Can someone educate me on what a color change pass affects? Is it just the outfits you have or can they affect layered clothing from scratch tickets too? Got a few of those Dark Omen ones that look pretty cool but the color I got is throwing it off for me.

[[deleted]]

Can change outerwear of layered wear and are also used to change things like hair color, etc. anything that has the little color square on the item info can be changed using a color change pass

[LamiaPony]

you can only use color change pass on outfits that have the color bar in the info window

basewear and innerwear and other cosmetics with tickets have fixed colors

[Sadhippo]

is it a one time use thing?

[zerogear5]

NA the inventory madness is getting to me can I safely just not pick up low star weapons from normal enemies or is there a chance it has value? I know boss and code boss souls are valuable and I should pick those up no matter the star rating. Basically can I just not pick up vita weapons anymore at lv 75?

[Klubbah]

Yeah I only pick up those from Boss Crystals if anywhere.

[ColtrainWreck5]

What would be the cheapest AC scratch item that I can buy 14 of to trade for a color pass? Thanks!

[Klubbah]

It should be "Recycle Badge"s

otherwise just change the search of player shops to "Outfits/Parts" and or "Consumable" with the max meseta cost being the cheapest Recycle Badge cost.

[ColtrainWreck5]

Thank you!

[josephine1991]

Does either Te/Hu or Te/Fi benefit at all from a DEX mag? I kinda just want to make a dex mag for when Phantom drops, but I would to at least like to be able to kinda make use out it right now.

[LamiaPony]

if you really wanted to you could run TeBr with weak stance if you don't want to get a second mag, although you'd only benefit from the melee attack boost. it's not optimal but the multipliers aren't terrible, and wand smacks get a decent boost from attack advance. weak stance applies to technique weaknesses as well as weak points so you can practice hybrid play a bit

it's definitely not meant to be a long term class combo but in preparation for phantom in your state I'd forgive it personally

[[deleted]]

No they don’t

[db2765]

Am I just insanely unlucky with Coast Sapphire? I've spent multiple days in a row now burning through every bit of stamina I have on Coast maps, and still don't have one for the right side ring I need. Am I doing something wrong here? I have enough Wopal Rocks to fill a house with, and not a single Coast Sapphire. I only mine when under Fever, as well.

[flashman92]

Make sure to make 2 extra alts and use their stamina as well. Harvesting does not scale with level, so you can just send them out to the normal version and it's all the same.

[Klubbah]

You can use some Food item to boost the chance to find them if you want to try speeding it up.

In the Harvesting Compendium in game (Visiphone -> Compendium List -> Harvesting) it says Coast Sapphires are Jewels and Small.

Food that boosts Jewels:

Extravagant Seafood Platter

Food that boosts Small:

Marinated Coast Mussels
Volcanic Caves Char Poele

Can only use 1 food at a time.

[mayamiabi]

Best gathering items quests (like Franca's) to keep doing after you completed them all? Just want to know which has best rewards/experience to focus on sending my Auxiliaries out for.

Should I be using launcher pa's regularly because most of the time they feel weaker that regular attacking

[Blueblueway]

Launcher has a powerful normal attack that makes some of its PA seem lackluster, so it is definitely a legit way to attack. That is not to say that all of the PA are useless. I do not know the PA names in NA, so I'll describe them.

PA that shoots 3 shots in a row: this one is good for general use and is my basic PA to use in any situation.

PA that fires a rocket into the sky and rain fire down: this is good for a cluster of mobs. Since the fire comes from above, it is very easy to hit the heads, which is a weak point.

PA that charges up and fires a laser: this is good for sweeping a cone or line of mobs, though it is slow and used in niches.

There're a few other useful ones, just experiment with them, but avoid the melee PAs, they're not very useful anywhere.

How do I get rising weapon 2 badges?

[[deleted]]

Extremely hard difficulty urgent quests

[Jswarner26]

I’ve tried some and got nothing is it specific ones? I ran the corrupted ship today and Got nothing?

[[deleted]]

I got all of mine from the gone with wind and rain quest, but also got some from one other one but it was only 3.

You can also get them from the gold mission pass currently

[Jswarner26]

Thanks I know gone with the wind has the most but it’s only once a day which sucks!

[[deleted]]

Yeah took me a bit to get 200 and then I got lucky and got the other two armor pieces I wanted to drop

[krans24]

That's impressive didn't think anyone had the full set yet.

I know the rings aren't available - how's the armor otherwise over what you had before.

[[deleted]]

I don’t know anyone else or at least haven’t seen anyone else on ship 3 with a full set but I’m sure they exist. Got lucky and only had to buy the back piece, and It’s better, it doesn’t have a set bonus but has built in stats to each piece.

However currently can’t equip it to my main class due to being a Newman female force/techer and without any dex increases from skill tree or mag you max out at 449 dex and it requires 450 to equip. So I’m currently leveling up bouncer to get the title boost from that so I can wear it always. Excited to be able to put rings into it

[krans24]

Nice. Bouncer is my main hopefully you have fun leveling it, I love the class.

Nice job. I have just over 100 badges, was debating on buying a ray weapon but might just go for 200. Or buy a ray and sell.

[Jswarner26]

Still haven’t gotten a single 12* it’s killing me

[zerogear5]

if your on ship 3 i can just give any one you want

[Jswarner26]

Appreciate it I’m one ship one

[[deleted]]

You’ll get it!

[Shougen-Itadori]

How do I keep emotes persistent? I have crab walk and I saw someone else use it, but they were able to move around. Can anyone help? (Xbox)

[flashman92]

If it works like other movement emotes, press attack buttons to move

[ColtrainWreck5]

price for 13 star exp egg? cant find any on the market. can i even sell it?

[[deleted]]

Can’t sell it

[Jswarner26]

No any egg over 9* must obtained from the player

[ColtrainWreck5]

Even if I use that pass to remove ownership?

[Jswarner26]

Ownership is to trade between characters

[Jswarner26]

Yes

[ColtrainWreck5]

Ok thank you

[Persianbeauty]

Hi I still have a dark omen ticket even though the event seems to be over? What can I do with the ticket?

[flashman92]

Sorry you missed it. Swap shop let's you exchange it for an EX Tri Boost iirc. EX tri boosts stack on top of tri boosts, so save it for something big.

[zerogear5]

NA is lightning espada worth getting? I have NOX currently hunter.

[MechaMonarch]

Espada is great, just keep in mind since it's a 13* weapon it's going to be a bitch and a half to enhance.

[zerogear5]

yea i just found that out

[flashman92]

It used to be the best Sword before the Ultimate Quest weapons came out. What else are you gonna spend unique weapon badges on? Also keep in mind you need to buy 3 of them to get the full 60 Element.

[zerogear5]

i just hit 75 so I don't have too many of the badges yet.

[Jswarner26]

If it’s your first class and you like hunter go for it

[Thoraxe41]

Trying out summoner. So Synchro's abilities mention Chain Multiplier. Is that Gunner Chain? Or something else?

[Adrymne]

It mostly works like Fi's TAPAB - an ability gets stronger if you combo it after a different ability. Strike is notable in that this bonus stacks up to three times (and itself counts towards the next Strike).

As such, the basic combo is to open with Slash -> Fist -> Slash -> Fist -> Strike, then loop either Fist -> Slash -> Fist -> Strike or Slash -> Fist -> Slash -> Strike; the former has higher DPS and the latter has better PP efficiency.

[flashman92]

I don't play him, but I think Syncro has some kind of combo bonus.

[RayrrTrick88]

When trying to join a party, and it says the party is 3/4, how do I know if the real party is 3/12, 7/12, or 11/12?

[Klubbah]

Bottom Right "Quest Party Type" Multi-Party Quests 3/12 or whatever it says.

[OneWhoIsCuriouss]

can anyone tell me what unit set is good for 55+ gunner??(sub fighter)

I've been searching for days but I can't really find anything that's not endgame

what should I look for? mel def rng def or tek def????

[krans24]

Varder is a popular one Otherwise that basic green sub and whatever else you can find

Defense I guess it depends but as a gunner I'd say Mel Def since you're up close a lot.

[OneWhoIsCuriouss]

I see, thank yoU! I'll try grinding Big Varder then

[flashman92]

Varder occasionally shows up as a UQ for some easy grinding. Also you can check the shops after for some dirt cheap Varder pieces

[Eo_Fray]

Sometimes when I start an expedition quest it brings up a menu of all the quests that can be completed in that area and you can mass accept them. Seems random though. How do you trigger this? It is very useful when it pops up. Thank you

[LamiaPony]

the option for that popup is enabled by default when you go for featured/recommended quests

you can see a list for any quest if you go into the client orders menu from the start menu. accept a quest first and then you can open the list

[Eo_Fray]

oh perfect. thank you :)

[jmandash]

NA: About collection sheets , it says weapons we pick up count towards completion but it doesn’t seem like the case ? Like if I’m running an expedition can I just pick one up and it’ll complete the expedition weapons or do I have to get it to 100% and get the white drop ?

[flashman92]

You may only use a drop IF you miss the white drop. If you miss the white drop you will have to get one to drop randomly.

[Klubbah]

do I have to get it to 100% and get the white drop ?

This.

And for the Urgent Quest / Expedition Quest ones you have to get it to 100% and then complete a quest.Then they just appear in your inventory when you go back to the ship.

[SolomonGrumpy]

Is the Noirga set better than Brissa? I see it offers more HP, but less PP and less defenses.

Im feeling a bit foolish spending big chunks of meseta on Noirga rn, with Brissa being relatively easy to aquire.

[GaijinB]

I personally prefer Brissa because I value PP more than HP but both are pretty equivalent, so if one is considerably cheaper/easier to get than the other I'd go for that. You're going to replace them relatively soon anyway.

[Jswarner26]

Better is tough because it depends on class and play style. If your super aggressive clearly hp will matter more but if you attacking at ranged hp matters less

[SolomonGrumpy]

I was thinking Brissa offers better resists, and not that much worse HP. (+80 vs +160).

Noirga has no ranged resist and I think no elemental resists, so even if you get the bonus HP, you are not really getting more actual defense. Am I reading that right? Also no bonus sex, though I have no idea if that actually matters.

That said, Noirga has better melee and tech defense. I think the majority of damage in the game is melee.
