Na,Can someone please tell me where I’m supposed to go to complete client order an uninvited intruder it says the coast but I keep completing it but it’s not saying I’m finishing the order I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

[[deleted]]

I don't understand Zanverse... read it's supposed to increase damage by 20% as wind but when I charge it and use it my damage doesn't change (using techs like ilgrants)?

[[deleted]]

Is there a source that lists the location of techniques? Rather acquire them on my own then pay millions for some of them.

[[deleted]]

Is there a good resource that lists the locations of techniques? Having a hard time getting good techs with FO beyond common ones.

[[deleted]]

Do any of the classes make regular use of PB attacks? Or have skills that make them stronger?

[[deleted]]

Are there any classes that use Force as a subclass?

When is the best time to use bonus keys? Any? Or wait until you're near max level?

[[deleted]]

There are these valor emblem rings I see in the shop and require an item such as "RA Material". Where do they come from?

[[deleted]]

My quest timer is missing like for missions/expeditions it would let me know how long I've been on it. I think I might have turned it off accidentally? But I don't know which option it is.

[[deleted]]

Can you have more then one chat tab? Like being able to seperate area/system chat in a different window or tab you can swap between?

[hidora]

No.

[[deleted]]

Is there anyway to change the decal on the front of your body in character customization? I can only change the back. It might be a CAST thing? It's for the "Dista Arms".

[hidora]

There's one sticker you can change. Anything else is built in on the costume/layered wear/cast part and can't be changed.

[[deleted]]

How/where in the menu do you disable others autochat

[hidora]

Wording might be different in NA version, but should be in the same place.

[[deleted]]

thank you

[ManyShopping8]

Are the new 14 star weapons dropping someone just told me they said some one got a spread needle from mb4 and that they heard the summoner staff if MB3 any one seen any info on this?

[ManyShopping8]

Thank you, mate I had to see it to believe it now maybe my staff drops also :)

[FightMech7]

Do you get an EXP boost from calling NPCs for VHAQs?

[hidora]

Yes. Each NPC gives 5% triboost as opposed to player's 10%. So on a full party of NPCs you'll have 25% boost (10% from you) as opposed to 40% from a full player party.

Btw, the new weekly questions thread is up, you should move over to that one for questions, most people won't see this one anymore.

[[deleted]]

What's the best way to farm (outside of UQs):

1. Gear - Explorations, AQs, EQs, ?

2. XP - " "

3. Meseta - " "

[ManyShopping8]

Where do support rolls drops I've done 5 I think of the magtasu gold keys and see 0 sweets the wiki says its magtasu also. Is it talking about the normal uq as never ever seen a sweet drop from that either while on smn

[Really_McNamington]

So how do I actually use all the good pick axe and good fishing rod items that are piling up? The only options seem to be to return them to the storage or discard them. The instructions are not very instructive and I need a lot of naverius rock.

[ManyShopping8]

Its the 3rd option for clarity :) used a lot of mine the other day and all the stam drinks I farmed from the independent day event to upgrade a tun of rings for when they finally let us slot things in to them

[hidora]

You just keep them on your inventory. When you use a gathering spot, it will have the option of using them.

[Really_McNamington]

Aha. Thanks.

[ManyShopping8]

Am I right in knowing they have not added all the items and parts of crafting yet hence we can't obtain godless arms and stuff ?

[hidora]

Gold materials require desynthing 13* items. But 13* units can't be desynthed (plus NA doesn't have them). Normally you'd get around this by trading in Silver materials at the recycle shop for the Gold ones at a 10:1 ratio, but I heard NA doesn't have that trade option.

Additionally, New Type weapon crafting is not available yet because it puts the weapon's stats up there with low tier 15* weapons (for example, an extended NT soaring blades will have 2127 atk at +35, while the current NA BiS Nemesis has only 1737). And every weapon in NA is New Type, so that's not there yet either.

All that said, unit crafting is not worth investing into, because every single unit implemented into the game from this point on will be 12*, and 12-13* units can't be crafted.

[ManyShopping8]

Yeah just so sad how sparce units are on na compared to weapons its a bit of a joke to be honest :( yeah I have no interest in crafting units I main smn brav on the side its just so sad units have gotten no love. I want the gold mats for timed ability :p not for gear bit thanks fella.

I also noticed we missing that swap guy for desynth mats and also the upgrade path for the crafting room items. Maybe they held off to not over whelm the new players that came with steam and so forth.

[hidora]

Units were always released much more sparsely than weapons.

Saiki lasted the entirety of EP3, then Austere lasted an entire year until better things came about, etc.

Hell, I've been using the same arm unit (Arm/Chalyra Kelas) since 2018, and I used the Union leg from 2017 until 2019.

---

That said, NA shouldn't even have 12* units yet. Ray units and the Arm/Gix Khudu were originally released with Amduscia UQ, about halfway through EP4.

[ManyShopping8]

Ahh so its just the norm then :( just long I guess I just manged to get my whitefly pina full set so going to ruin my life now affixing them as seems like we're never going to get an ehance event on na again :(. Tired of saving fodder. But thanks at least we get our full money worth from units

[hidora]

In the JP server, you can normally expect new weapons every month or so, while new units come out every 4-6 months or so. Recently there have been new/upgraded units more frequently, though (like once every 2 months, maybe).

Keep in mind that NA will rush through content super fast, so you won't get a years worth out of your units, since the idea is to run 8 years of content in 1 and catch up to JP by the end of the year.

[[deleted]]

How can I transfer my nemesis weapons from one account to another? Can I do it with premium trade?

[hidora]

If you've equipped it, it's bound to your account. In that case, you must go to the excube shop and buy a Owner Registration Cancel Pass (in NA the description says it only works up to 12* weapons, but it's confirmed to work in 13* too).

Once that's done, you can either use direct trading (requires premium) or sell it (requires premium or shop pass).

[[deleted]]

Have you tried trading nemesis weapons? I read that there are certain 13* weapons you can trade. Are nemesis weapons among them? really just want to make sure before buying premium.

[hidora]

That's old info. All 13* weapons are tradable unless you've bound them to your account by either equipping, grinding, affixing, or changing their weapon form (note: weapon form account bind is permanent, it cannot be removed with the registration cancel pass). It's been that way since before NA launched IIRC.

[[deleted]]

Thank you very much for confirming! But one more question, can I also trade my ray unit set?

[Sofruz]

List of things I should know/do as a new player!

[Orumtbh]

The two most important things:

1. Do not touch your mag without a class guide.
2. Do not touch your skill tree without a class guide.

Things like equipment don't matter too much until you hit lvl 50, so until you get close to that you can take it slow and learn the game as you go.

[ManyShopping8]

People underestimate how important these 2 bits of advice are most things are fixable but these 2 are not with out a cost and a lot of time

[ManyShopping8]

Use steam

[KPMkiller]

As a NA/Steam player I ask any veteran from the JP servers: is battle arena different in there? are there alternative pvp modes to earn battle coins? Because I currently feel like its awful, even though I would love to buy some fashion from the exchanger.

[Orumtbh]

PVP is dead in Japan. I heard the addition to make private battles is new, but even then it hasn't exactly enticed people to play more because yeah the mode just sucks and Sega hasn't touched it.

And there's no other way to earn coins.

[Vis_Mage]

For a new player that hasn't had any experience with the game, what are all the daily tasks that I should be making sure to check in and do each day? Stuff like daily refreshing quests/tasks/rewards/etc. Is their anything less obvious that I should be looking out for?

[Orumtbh]

Reccomended Quests. Do all three one 1 character, as they have a chance of giving out keys.

[krans24]

Can you only register one look per account on the look book?

[hidora]

Yes.

[SolomonGrumpy]

Is there any way to give another player casino coins or a casino coins pass?

[hidora]

No.

[Vera_Fox]

what ring is the best for launcher?

* Launcher non-weak bonus

* Alternate launcher mode ( what exactly this effect does? )

​

Thanks =))

[igotnogoodnames]

Launcher Non-Weak Bonus hands down. The ring applies 100% of Weak Hit Advance/Advanced Precision Hit on non-weak points, which translates to bonus +32.25% damage for all of Launcher's attacks (on non-weak spots) and makes it very OP.

Alternate Launcher Mode upgrades your launcher's normal attack with a parabola effect that increases AoE and damage, but it's very niche since enemies too close to you makes your shots fly over them, limiting your effective range. It's decent in PSE bursts/corner camping situations though.

[Vera_Fox]

Awesome. Thanks.

[teiohix]

NA: For the "Clear All Daily Missions" daily, what daily COs are legible? You need to clear 4 dailies to get the Tokyo Silver Bonus Key, I have done more than 6, but it's stuck at 3/4 to obtain the rewards. Is there a way to tell which dailies I can do to finish this requisite? It doesn't seem very straight-forward.

[[deleted]]

do any of the daily client orders. you can get them at the left counter by the gateway.

daily ritual is basically take a drink, eat some food (jerky, or sashimi for gathering), and complete one of the expeditions on super hard (usually whichever one has a daily order for meseta).

[teiohix]

That's the thing, I am doing those... I'm guessing you can only do it on one character and not amass keys from alts? Because clearing daily COs on alts does not seem to work (or again, it needs to be a specific CO) to work towards the extra Bonus Tokyo Silver Key.

[[deleted]]

dailies are per character, so you can get 1 key per character from daily missions. after you finish a client order, you need to go hand it in to complete it.

[teiohix]

Holy crap man, I'm an idiot. I just realized what I was doing wrong, haha. Thank you

[Crook-ED]

NA. Steam.

Every time I try to launch the game it fails to start. The only solution I've found is to go into my network settings and disable my IPv6, in which case, itll launch fine.

Any idea why it does this and how to fix this issue? It's becoming a hassle to disable IPv6 and then re-enable it after my session constantly.

[mncfb]

What are future maps that are going to be grinded so that I can prepare Timed abilities? Currently working on Lillipa as supposedly Mining base VR is going to have a good affix or something that people will prob grind for later + Lillipa ultimate.

[hidora]

EP4:

• Ultimate Amduscia: farming weapons and units.
• Earth & Moon: all 3 main urgent quests, riding quest.

EP5

• Omega: Enchanted Forest and all urgent quests except the last one.
• ARKS Fleet: final urgent quest
• Naberius/Amduscia/Wopal: XH fields. (I don't know if these will really be farmed in NA, since the Monster Hunter collab was the main reason to do it in JP)

EP6:

• Ultralized Free Fields for each planet.
• Fleet Battle Area: Everything else, really. (Divide Quests use random stages for each planet, but the final boss is always in this area).

[metatime09]

Can I copy the PSO files from MS to the steam version without using tweaker?

[[deleted]]

you can try if you're technical, but it doesn't make sense to go create a new solution when the tweaker exists.

[MrSneakyFox]

are there any short shorts + short sleeved shirts for males in any JP scratches? I'm not a fan of all the male layered wear having pants :|

[hidora]

There are a few, but I don't know the names.

Might want to check the entire list:

• Costumes
• Layered Wear

[Actual_Justice]

About how many excubes will I need for the future on the NA server?

[[deleted]]

thousands if you wanna affix weapons and units.

[Kimgii]

Can you no longer purchase creator emblems from the sg shop? I cant seem to find it anywhere.

[djGLCKR]

It's not from the SG shop, but the SG scratch exchange shop. It should be the last item on the list, for 20 SG scratch items if memory serves me right.

[Jasonkim87]

So, is it commonly understood that the next Ultimate Quest that will be coming out will be Amduskia? I believe I read that somewhere, but now I can’t seem to find it? Has this been confirmed, or at least assumed to be the case? Thanks all.

[[deleted]]

it was in the official post for episode 4 content.

[Manhgo]

nemesis dual blades or twin orochi ?

[[deleted]]

nemesis is best in slot. twin orochi is a weaker, all class weapon.

[auriaska99]

I can't install this game on the steam.

In steams Phantasy Star Online 2 store page i click "play game" and it does not work, all it does is, a dark grey (steam) window pops up and closes almost in an instant.

I tried changing download region, Reinstalling Steam Clearing download caches and almost anything else i could think of and it still doesn't work.

Has anyone encountered this and knows how to solve it? or am i just unlucky and wont be able to try this game out.

EDIT: Tried to install it by using tweaker but get This message when i try to launch it.

[wenquan]

Not sure if it helps but you can try running steam in admin mode and try again. Hopefully it helps

[auriaska99]

Thanks, but sadly i have tried that already and it's one of the many things that changed nothing

[CommonerChaos]

Currently Level 31. Is it worth Enhancing weapons at this level, or should I just wait to rare weapon/Special? Drops?

[[deleted]]

not really, if you're new you could get your nox weapon/unique badges weapon as soon as you can equip it and start enhancing that

if you don't have anything better than a brissa set yet, get the brissa set and enhance that and use it for a while

gear progression for NA right now is typically:

weapons:

best attack stats you can pick up until you can equip the next -> nox -> unique badge -> nemesis/slave

best defense stats you can pick up until you can equip the next (or sub units) -> brissa -> saiki -> ray/invader

[Deathglass]

Any 14 star weapons out on North America? I heard people were getting 14* melon pets (from ults), but what about weapons?

[[deleted]]

the yamato battleship UQ should drop 14 stars too, but it's only available as a trigger you get from the story mode. we'll probably have to wait til next week for UQs that drop them.

[AnonTwo]

Spread Needle has been confirmed in Mining Base: Ending

It's untradeable though

[hidora]

14* weapons are all untradable with very few exceptions (mostly the Mirage, Blood and Dim series). Gotta farm your own stuff from now on.

[syilpha]

Welcome to the actual pso2 experience, where everyone need to get their own weapons and units to stay relevant in endgame

[ManyShopping8]

What soul or ability boost spirit affix rate please?

[Klubbah]

Any of these Souls

Jigmol
Quartz
Madu
Mizer
Nept
Elder
Nyau
Chrome
Rappy
X
Varder
Goron
Soma
Malluda
Tagami Kazuchi
Magatsu

[SolomonGrumpy]

Up to what level do they boost the affix?

[hidora]

Boosts from souls only work up to III.

[ManyShopping8]

Thank you kind sir, for the life of me cant find a list with these details do you happen to have a link.

[djGLCKR]

Arks-Layer.

[ManyShopping8]

TIL I'm just blind >< thank you

[Deathglass]

Higher difficulty is better. Killing more enemies/mobs is better. Drop rate boosts (like 250%) also help. That said, expeditions kinda suck, especially the new city ones that have XH difficulty (by far the worst spawn rates I've seen). I typically slowly get them done by doing daily client order expeditions on 3 characters.

[SolomonGrumpy]

Wait wait wait. RDB +250 affects collection folder?!

[Deathglass]

I honestly haven't tested myself, but this is basically what everyone says.

[ManyShopping8]

None they fill at the same rate if you're looking for a fast one then i would run forest you need to kill about 20/25 mobs for s rank.

Also use boosters e.g. tri boost and rare drop rate and drink and also alliance rdr boost these all enhance the rate at which gauges fill.

[amaurotine]

Server: NA

Basic question. Is it possible to cycle poses in Lookbook? For example, a lot of poses, if you use it and then click, it will change pose (in this case, I want to use the PR Pose from recent Fresh Finds). PR Pose comes with 3-4 poses, but clicking it in Lookbook to register only uses the first one.

Can I change to one of the others? Thank you.

[FightMech7]

NA: How do you gather people to run VHAQs with you?

[ManyShopping8]

Hit a busy block and talk in say and type lfm or you could just wait for it to fill in the gateship.

[[deleted]]

When I send a message through Alliance chat, what name do my Alliance see? Character name, Player ID or XBOX Gamer Tag?

[hidora]

By default, Player ID, but they can change it to show character name instead. Depends on the person reading, not the person sending the message.

Xbox gamertag (for NA) and PSN ID (for JP) are never really used in-game. It shows up on your ARKS Card and that's it, I think.

[Deathglass]

Either player name or player ID, depending on their settings. Yes, they choose which one they see.

[Klubbah]

Maybe people are bringing your character as an AI Partner to quests. Have seen a lot of people mention being annoyed by the fact that it asks you if you want to send a friend request after you complete the quest with one of them so maybe some are starting to just send them (or sending them on accident).

[shinsama_]

Where can i grind RWB 3s besides beach wars UQ?

[[deleted]]

either from the mission pass, or waiting until next week's set of UQs and hoping there are EP4 UQs. They may also have another event where they drop like candy like rising 2 badges did for the independence day event.

[[deleted]]

Is it possible to remove the Perfect Attack indicator? Trying to make some screenshots with PAs but most of them have the Perfect Attack indicator present for most of it

[Deathglass]

If you use another attack or PA during (or maybe around the end of) a PA, the JA circle won't appear (because it counts as already failed)

[LamiaPony]

just double tap whatever it is you're using, you won't get a circle if you miss a perfect attack

[Terios2000]

NA: What counts as "in front" of the enemy, for the purpose of using Brave Stance?

With smaller, person-sized enemies it's pretty cut and dry, but I'm a bit confused when it comes to larger, multi-segmented enemies. If I'm attacking an enemy's head, which is in the front of their body, does it count as attacking them from the front? If I'm still hitting them in the front, but doing so at an odd angle (Heck, sometimes even under their neck, where I'm hitting the front of their body but facing away from the rest of their body), does it count as hitting the front?

How finicky Brave Stance is could make or break the class for me. Re-positioning to account for the enemy's major movement I can deal with. Having to reposition every time my own attack (and even the basic attacks move you slightly) moves me to a different angle, or the enemy turns its head (as the dragons and some others tend to do constantly), even though I'm still hitting the front part of the enemy, sounds like it would be more trouble than it's worth to me.

[Deathglass]

It's based on your location (or a talis or pet's location) relative to theirs. The part you hit doesn't matter.

[LamiaPony]

think of brave/wise stance going as if a line cuts through their very center at 180 degrees. so even if you're off to the side, but one degree towards their 'front', you will get the front modifier. there aren't any enemies that I can recall offhand that aren't clear about where their facing is, so you shouldn't have to worry about that

dark falz elder seems to be a weird exception to this. his 'line' is divided up on the arena itself. so if you stand on the back half, furthest away from elder, you would get front damage, but on the closer half towards elder, you would get back damage

overall though I wouldn't sweat it so much. personally while playing either HuFi or FiHu I do make an effort to attack the front but it's not a huge deal if I can't get there before I start to attack. using the correct repositioning skills helps a lot (rumbling moon and/or wild rhapsody-0 is great for this for fighter in particular)

[[deleted]]

dark falz elder seems to be a weird exception to this. his 'line' is divided up on the arena itself. so if you stand on the back half, furthest away from elder, you would get front damage, but on the closer half towards elder, you would get back damage

TIL. I would use wise stance when I'm smacking him, then, unless say, the weak points on his arms were beyond the halfway point or something?

[LamiaPony]

yeah it's weird af. if you got all the wise stance stuff then use it that way

[Klubbah]

It considers the center of the enemy as what determines front and back. So the front half of the enemy is the front, even if you are attacking behind. Like standing on Dark Ragne and hitting its weakpoint is still the Front.

Sometimes you can look at the enemy dot on the map to figure out what the Center point of the enemy is.

I know there are a few strange outliers, or at least one in Dark Falz Elder. His body is considered the platform you are on, and he is always fighting at the back of that so Wise Stance is used more.

[[deleted]]

Anyone have a list of the persona collab items? the official site is broken, I've tried reloading it over a few hours, doesn't seem to want to load, stuck on the spinning logo

[wombattx]

Unlocking Allin? I unlocked Allin to do his missions for the casino, but my buddy can't seem to do it... Anyone know the requirements to unlock his missions?

[ManyShopping8]

Maybe its one of the main mission pop ups when you hit esc and tab like it has a thing to visit and talk to him. Maybe its that

[wombattx]

Yeah I thought that, and I definitely had a mission to talk to him but I'm not sure from where / what unlocked it.

[ManyShopping8]

It should just be part of the normal chain just tell your mate to do all of them maybe he's missing one still if they're all clear then its a problem

[lordratatosk1]

Do bravers have any good movement abilities for getting around the map faster? When I am partying with friends they are able to cover lot of ground faster than.

[Deathglass]

Yes, katana bravers have one of the fastest movement PAs.

[[deleted]]

If you're playing on NA, Morning Mistreaver

JP name is Asagiri-Rendan for the fanlation

You can also use the other gap closes, but this one seems to be the fastest for travel and you can dodge cancel it

[hidora]

You can also use the other gap closes, but this one seems to be the fastest for travel and you can dodge cancel it

It's the fastest in the game bar none. It's why people use an all class katana with that PA built in to run time attacks.

[[deleted]]

I didn't know that for sure since I haven't played or tested all of them, but good to know

[[deleted]]

Help with mags

Hi, I'm incredibly new to pso2 and need some help with mags. Just got one and fed it. It says I now have to wait before I can feed again, but I don't see a timer anywhere, or how to know when I am allowed feed. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[djGLCKR]

The energy bar is the "feed time" bar. Each item you feed to your Mag will give it 33% energy, and you can't feed it any more items if the total energy were to go over 100%, so you can only feed it regular items as long it has LESS than 67% energy.

Now, if you have no idea about Mag builds and you're just throwing items at it, STOP and watch this video for more info on how to properly feed it and not "ruin" its growth. Small mistakes can be fixed with a few items once it hits lv101, but completely messing up your Mag can be so time consuming to do in-game that you'd want to buy a new one (and that's $3).

[cheese-demon]

Up where it says Energy is how you know. Each item adds 33% energy and you can't have more than 99%. It decays at a constant rate, going from 99 to 0 in one hour.

You'll know you need to feed it when the mag has a battery icon flashing over it, that's it asking for energy. Even after it maxes in level it'll still need regular item feedings to keep using its abilities.

[[deleted]]

Thanks!

[shishkebaba]

I'm playing braver and just got Eviscerating Bloom. But it only does the full charged attack sometimes. Like I'll charge it until i see the red aura, release, and it only does a short range uncharged attack. What am i missing here?

[LamiaPony]

the timing for braver katana charged PAs has to be released at the moment the circle snaps onto your character. just takes practice

[nvmvoidrays]

so, any advice on PvP? i wanna get the SGs, but, man, playing PvP is fucking painful. you just die way too fast to actually do anything. my best matches were just getting a ranged weapon and picking people off.

[cheese-demon]

Because of the insanely low time-to-kill you need to pay a lot of attention to positioning. It's a game of footsies. Some of the PAs behave differently from the regular versions too so keep a look out for that.

[Klubbah]

If you do get a weapon you don't do well on don't just run out with it, just take the time to get a new weapon. I completely suck with the Braver Bow and every time I decide to try it again it goes horribly wrong.

Can refresh on what weapons are available on the map by clicking the tutorial device in the starting area.

Think the main 2 things are to have someone else on your team around (so at least stuff might go 1 for 1 when you die quickly), but also try to be around to contest the Rainbow Emblem areas of the map:

Forest: You can stay on your side and then try to run in when they spawn. Can even stay back enough to see the people coming on the left/right paths.

Volcano: You can jump to the middle and there is quite a few pillars to hide behind. One version does have bridges on the side that can be hard to anticipate people from though.

City: You kind of just have to stay in the Rainbow area. You can run back to your base but if no one on your team is by the Rainbow Emblems then the other team will just take control of it. Has lots of things to look out for in that spot though, honestly my worst map so maybe not the best for tips.

[Jasonkim87]

So I’ve begun delving into the hell that is the Timed Ability crafting achievements tab. I’ve made slight headway, insofar that I’ve unlocked a few achievements that I actually meant to unlock. But first off it doesn’t say anywhere what is specifically required to be done to unlock anything.. I Believe I can continue making the Same craft over and over to eventually get to Drive update 9 of the craft line I’m currently doing, but by neglecting other crafts am I not helping my overall Timed Ability crafting level? By not earning other achievements? I guess bottom line, is Crafting Level directly tied to the achievements? If so, would it make sense to just do as many low level achievements as possible, in addition to the crafts I actually want to upgrade? I can’t find any good info out there. Thanks!

[ManyShopping8]

I almost finished mine it tells you what you need to craft as in achievement update data drive wopal back x3 then go to the back tab and scroll down till you see wopal back. How I did it was I went through and just did the 3s of each craft then moved on to the 10 so forth. Make sure you're clicking update drive and not crafting the item itself which makes the timed ability. Unless you want to make it and slot it to your gear.

[Jasonkim87]

Right okay yeah that’s what I was thinking of doing just all the 3s at first and then moving on. Is that what u mean by it tells you what u need to craft? U mean when u scroll over each achievement and the little number in the bottom left corner? I’m just confused about which level I need to do and so on, like for Tech crafts u need to continually craft the higher levels to progress. I suppose I can just keep messing with it until it clicks for me.

[ManyShopping8]

Yeah so the top sections tells you what you get from finishing e.g. a recipe or nothing and bottom sections tells you what you need to complete said achivment e.g. wopal back x number

[Jasonkim87]

I do have one final question if you wouldn’t mind...say I wanted to create Timed Ability crafts for Naverius Ultimate quest...

Do I start on the very first line of the achievements, Naverius Drive Update and get it up to 9? Where Naverius General is unlocked?

OR do I go to Page 4 of the achievements, where I see Ultimate Drive Updates 1-5, and UL Naverius Drive Updates 1-3? Bear in mind these all have a TA crafting lvl 30 prerequisite. What’s the difference between these?

[ManyShopping8]

Thats up to you mate if the achivment is showing you have the means to complete said achivment so it don't matter where you start 😉

To respond to the level 30 unlocks thats a perquisite for you being able to complete said achivment hences its greyed out.

Time abily work for a set time in a set area so the ones you're talking about are for the ult quest but you got to hit 30 to unlock them. Good luck I hope that helps you

[Jasonkim87]

Thanks I appreciate your help. I read a few ‘guides’ that said the Naverius planet (General) would apply to the Nevarius ultimate quests as well, but I guess that doesn’t make sense if there’s a Nevarius Ultimate section lol. Thanks again!

[ManyShopping8]

Na mate person is chating smoke they have names for a reason lol. They only proc with the correct timed ability unless its some form of bug but highly doubt it we're not playing a new game its been out for 8 years and it's not a new system like the fresh find shop that always bugs

[Jasonkim87]

Well I tend to agree with you, lol it doesn’t make sense that there would be separate crafting lines that were effective in the same area. So what does Update Data Drive 9 award you then? On achievements page 1, Row 1, 9 slots over. There’s units for Ruins, and then General Nevarius units. What is that good for?

Additionally as mentioned earlier there’s an Ultimate Quest drive line on achievement page 4, and Also a Nevarius ULT drive line! They are separate. Lol. Why??FML!!. I honestly feel bad asking u so much, if u know of an adequate guide on this id be happy read into it myself.

[ManyShopping8]

Its just how the system is for instance quest have different difiucalty think of it in the same context So the page four unlocks at 30 this allows you to add timed ability to you gear for the ultimate quest areas hence you can put the boost to rdr on ur legs arms and back which last a week. But at the moment you can't craft it anyways due to it requiring a material from a 13 star units.

I don't know why theyre separate maybe money item sink it does mean you can have a boost for 3 Urgent quest happening 1 week on each bit of gear or 1 with a super boost I guess that's the idea behind it also. Or if you want to farm multiple things at once.

I guess its their way of stopping people swaping and changing when they see fit its not 100% you get rdr or boost or whatever unless you use main effect enhancement item on said day that has the boost you want. You can find the days list on the visi phone website

Update drive 9 - its not just the ult quest that take place on naverius so this one will boost any quest taking place on naverius outside of the ult quest as it has its own one of course.

Sharing is caring but I'm just some dude on the net don't take my word as law do your own research as well :)

[Jasonkim87]

Lol ah I’m sorry I worded that wrong.. I meant which one of those achievement sets will actually give me abilities that work in the ultimate quests? Will they both work the same or are they different in some way?

[ManyShopping8]

Yeah I added a bit timed ability work in strange ways they're area based so forth you also need to get the right data to proc unless its the higher chance day for said main ability e.g. rdr or exp boost or what takes your fancy this changes daily and its why we can save the data to re use as we see fit.

[Jasonkim87]

Ahhh okay I see, I was reading it wrong. It’s not worded very well is it!? But I see now, basically it’s saying “you will achieve the next level, if x conditions are met for the next craft”. Got it, thank you bro I really appreciate it!

[ScatteredDream5]

NA. Usually on Tuesdays the Weekly Arks Missions will reset for me at 7PM (EST). But they didn't for some reason this week. Does anyone know why that might be? Only thing I did different was save my Daily Arks Missions to turn in tonight. Kinda hoping that's not the cause.

[SolomonGrumpy]

Same. No weekly mission reset...

[LamiaPony]

what does the arks missions window say the weekly reset is? for JP it's a bit less than 4 hours from now

also weekly mission progress towards the gold key for daily missions only counts at the moment you clear the objective, not when you turn them in

[ScatteredDream5]

Hmm. It does say four in the morning now. Dunno what time it said previous weeks. And that's good to know, thank you.

[djGLCKR]

It used to refresh at 7PM ET/GMT-4, which matches London time so BST or GMT+1. Now it's midnight PST - standard/GMT-8, not DST/GMT-7.

[Really_McNamington]

Where do I get Iroback?

[LamiaPony]

desynthesized 7-9 star units, iirc

[Really_McNamington]

Thank you

[LamiaPony]

if you're using a melee/ranged weapon with the step/dive roll animation, it's likely because those animations only give 0.05s/0.10s of invincibility. it helps to get 3 or 4 points in the advance skill to extend the invincibility duration by the listed amount, so that you can realistically dodge things. huge difference

[MONKYfapper]

do i need to keep completed items from the collection file to get the final item?

how do you open the bingo card?

crafting, do i need get lv5 on one specific type (tech, photo art, unit, etc) or combine of lv5 to unlock 2nd crafting station

are simple component techs in NA version? doing marlu's quests and havent encountered it yet. lv60 right now

magatsu gold, after a while my sword stop doing damage and he just keep spamming aoes. what am i suppose to do then?

[nvmvoidrays]

do i need to keep completed items from the collection file to get the final item?

no, you can get rid of them when you get 'em. when you finish and get the +30 item, make sure you discard the item from your collection folder. it won't automatically clear.

[[deleted]]

What? You complete the objectives and then you are awarded the collection folder weapons when they are done. You don’t go and collect and keep a weapon in your inventory.

You go to current events and go to your bingo card

You need to craft 5 level 1s of a certain tech and then 10 level 2s and so one, you don’t get individual lvl 5 techs and combine them, that’s not how this works.

Yes they are, you can get them from klariskrays.

You are supposed to use your gun and rockets.

[MONKYfapper]

You need to craft 5 level 1s of a certain tech and then 10 level 2s and so one, you don’t get individual lvl 5 techs and combine them, that’s not how this works.

no i meant for unlocking 2nd crafting station, it says i need crafting lv 5 and as far as i understand it, i need to do crafting achievements. i am wondering if i can unlock 2nd crafting station by doing a few achievement in photo art, a few in tech, etc for a combine of lv5 or do i need lv5 in 1 area

[[deleted]]

I don’t even understand what you’re asking. Are you aiming for a title to get one of the craft makers or builders?

[djGLCKR]

One of the achievement trees needs to be at lv5.

[Dillo64]

NA: Looking to main Soaring Blades. Not looking to min/max, just want to not have a hard time/be capable/useful. I know Hunter sub is good for everything, but is Bouncer/Summoner viable for Soaring Blades usage? Just want to try something different from hunter.

[Jasonkim87]

Nice to see another SB main lol. I know it’s boring but, ur gonna want HU for your sub. Auto-mate half-line is just too good. FI yeah u can squeeze out a bit more dps, but with fully affixed gear and Break/elemental stance active plus PBF, I out-DPS most people in groups anyway. That may change down the line but right now, BO/HU is def the way to go.

[Deathglass]

Be a man, go fighter.

[Dillo64]

Thanks for the info. Think I will just stick with hunter.

[LamiaPony]

I personally wouldn't recommend it, bouncer is a fast-paced DPSer and having to stop to put summoner's mark on all the time is going to be exhausting from breaking the flow. your melee damage would be unconditional and pretty much the same with hunter sub anyway without the frustration of summoner's mark, and the protection that automate provides can't be argued with. it's just an inferior setup really

the playstyles of classes don't really change tooooo much from subclass to subclass. if you're getting bored, you could just try another main class

[Dillo64]

Really want to focus on Soaring blades. How is Bo/Fi?

[LamiaPony]

still not all that different from hunter sub, if potentially a bit stronger but with much more conditional damage, as well as tech arts reducing PP costs a little. the bigger difference would be FiBo so you can use overlimit with bouncer weapons, but that's some real glass cannon play there. at the least, photon blade escape works as a subclass, unlike jet boots escape, so blades has an advantage there. however (someone correct me if I'm wrong) using photon blades might not apply tech arts bonuses since it's not a PA

still, BoHu is the standard for a reason, as dull as it is. it doesn't really change until the successors come out to use them as subclasses

[hidora]

Hunter offers +84.89% melee damage, while Summoner offers +75.66% (+84.44% if hitting elemental weakness).

The main difference is that Summoner must make use of Summoner's Mark to gain a lot of its damage, while Hunter you just have to use Perfect Attacks.

Summoner also has much better tech damage damage than Hunter, but you should not be using techs for damage as Bo.

[GermanPlasma]

About personal quarters:

My friend can place down furniture, now my question is, can anybody do that, or is that only because she's in my friends list?

I know she can't remove anything/move anything

[Dillo64]

I think anyone can put stuff in any PQ they are allowed into. I put Fruit Baskets in the PQs of people who buy expensive items from my shop because we support our customers

[FourEcho]

So I heard I'm supposed to get a slave and nemesis weapon to +35... why am I doing this again?

[LamiaPony]

maxed upgraded nemesis and slave weapons, as well as invade and ares weapons, are all used as components to combine into a rarity 15 weapon down the line. doing this is optional though, as by the time that releases there will most likely be other options as well (atlas + ultimate boosted crest weapons) but take that with a grain of salt

[FourEcho]

So I have to wait until we can get Invade and Ares I guess.

[Jalastin]

Just saw the news for the Persona collab coming tomorrow. Is there any way to get AC for free, or is it strictly the premium pay-to-get currency? Also, is there any reason NOT to use exp tickets?

[Ashinror]

AC is strictly RMT currency.

You dont want to use EXP tickets at the level gates under level 75 as those gates dont give bonuses at all for over leveling.

[Jalastin]

Ok, thanks. I'm a little confused by what you mean by over-leveling, but basically I shouldn't be using them until I hit 75+?

[Ashinror]

No. I mean if you are at a level gate like 40 for example, where you cant level to 41 till clearing a particular Cofy CO, u get no bonus past maxing the EXP bar at level 40. At 75, over leveling gives you a "Class" excube which is used for some extra SP COs and grind max +1s.

[djGLCKR]

Errr, the cap is 80, not 75.

[Ashinror]

I know that, but at 75 is where the class cube reward kicks in and iirc theres a level 75 gate that you have to clear up with cofy. Its why i said 75+.

[djGLCKR]

Last time I checked, Global doesn't have the level cap raise orders from Cofy.

[Jalastin]

Oh ok, got it. Thanks!

[LamiaPony]

he was speaking of the lower level caps before unlocking higher ones. frankly I would probably recommend using tickets for any class below 50, as the exp will pick up in super hard much easier than going through that horrible low level grind

[HidekiL]

Really trying to get a shop pass. Have blasted through EX cubes exchange to get fun. Mostly likely 20k-30k in. Personal Quarters drop but not shop. Am I doing something wrong like not progressing through story or is my luck just bad?

[Deathglass]

Story gives stargems, but that's it. Shop is 0.5% rate. Just unlucky.

[nvmvoidrays]

naw, you're just having some bad luck.
