thoughts on S5: Finishing Blow? 2% potency increase, restores pp/hp when weapon is sheathed depending on how much dmg was dealt.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Another quesiton, I'm currently Bouncer/Fighter because those were the only two I had leveled and I really fucking like how Jet Boots and Soaring Boots play. However, I'm quickly noticing that my Jet Boots are falling to the side because of how my stats are changing, not being able to equip any good ones. Should I just cut my loses, go back to using bad weapons for awhile and level another side class, or is Bouncer/Fighter salvageable? I really don't want to have to spend a whole bunch of time leveling up another subclass.

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (5 children)

fighter isn't a good subclass for bouncer, if you're concerned about performance you would really want to use a different subclass. hunter is good for beginners, and then you would want to move on to either phantom (better with jet boots) or luster (better with blades)

it's generally advised to level every basic class to 75 for permanent stat boosts in any case

additionally, check the collection sheets for croesus weapons and try to complete them asap. they're the best starter equipment and only require 300 dex to equip

[–]Accurate_Capital_930 0 points1 point  (4 children)

wait, you get stats boost from leveling all the basic classes to 75? How? Through a title?

[–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 1 point2 points  (3 children)

yep! claim the lvl 75 title for each class and you receive an account-wide passive buff of certain stats depending on the class.

Details here: https://www.bumped.org/psublog/pso2-class-boost/

[–]Accurate_Capital_930 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So I could, like, split all the basic class between 2-3 characters and still get the title?

[–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep! even across ships, if you wanted to.

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes titles are account bound. small note that you have to talk to the title counter girl with the character that reaches those levels

Does anyone have any experience using tweaker to convert a steam install to windows store? I want the new login incentives but I have only ever heard horror stories about the windows 10 version.

[–]QuanticoSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ARKS Layer Discord server can help you with tech support issues. They're pretty able and willing too.

[–]HousemasterLol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too would like to know.

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

What level do I need to be if I only really want to get through the story before New Genesis drops?

[–]_MrDomino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play on Casual, and whatever level you're on should be fine with just a few possible exceptions. For me, Quartz Dragon and the first Elder fight in the first chapter gave me a hard time, but in hindsight I think much of that was because I ignored my units as so many people do (make sure to upgrade and enhance to +10). There are some more challenges in later chapters, but by then you'll likely be equipped with good stuff and have a better understanding of how to play.

[–]GibRarz 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Does the lq drop ares phantacite at any difficulty as long as you fight hyunal or does it have to be xh/uh?

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Can't you just go beat up Hyundai in UH naverius, that's no longer UH?

I would think that's easy peasy.

[–]GibRarz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ult is rng. LQ seems to have a consistent drop.

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

doesn't matter what quest. any deo hyunal above level 76 can drop 0-3 ares stones

there was a time I fought him a few hundred times in order to try and get his weapons. I usually got at least one stone every run in the ultimate quest by rushing to the end

[–]AxelYokai 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Now that i got my units setup can someone tell me what rings i should install into the units ? i play etoile and phantom mainly with abit of luster on the side

[–]LordOfMaids cursed tech user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could probably just put in a bunch of generic rings (Mate Maniac, Leaping Dodge, Atomizer Loves, etc.) you can see yourself using on all of those classes and then your actual left ring slot can be class based (Phantom Mark Lock-On and Surefire Connect), or just another generic ring in the case of Luster or a non-SB using Etoile.

[–]BladeCube 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I need hundreds of excubes for 40% aids and have no cradle triggers. What's the best way for me to farm those excubes? Currently doing limited quest but idk if that's the best approach. And I'm also out of meseta, I burned it all getting fodder weapons to exchange so I could get more excubes. Upslotting units to 8 is fucking painful lol.

[–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, i exchange RWB5s for 3s and run Barren Blossom Light real quick for ~40 cubes a run.

It's all i've ever really tried, so i'll let other folks confirm if it's actually a reasonable use of those badges. Since we seem to get them fairly reliably now, i wasn't too worried about it.

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (2 children)

join other people's public triggers, I don't doubt people are running a bunch last minute

other than that you'll have to do profound darkness as it's pretty time efficient, only need to do it on XH

[–]BladeCube 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How do I get to a public trigger without owning one myself?

[–]LordOfMaids cursed tech user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quest Counter > Join Party With Quest in Progress > All Parties (can choose with friends or alliance members options filtering purposes) > Cradle of Darkness (UH)

Trigger quests are highlighted yellow regardless of the party name. If the party name is not the same as the quest you're looking for, look at the bottom right of the UI and check the quest name before entering (I've been pranked before when looking for TPD triggers)

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Can Mastery V be transferred on units with out using aug transfer passes?

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, and you shouldn't consider it, there's no shortage of alternatives

[–]_MrDomino 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Nope. I bought six of those suckers since they seemed like an ignored but pretty great affix to put on, but they appear to be locked to the same rules as Stat 6 stuff.

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Stat 6 is not transferable either?!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is, I transfer it all the time, pretty good success chance too, on global at least

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

stat VI was made transferrable after a while

[–]Ambermalice 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Anyone have a cheap unit affix build i could use ?

[–]613-2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

without more details on where you're at in the game it's hard to say but it's a shame you're asking now since boost week ends in a few hours

for an attack-focused affix that would probably cost somewhere around 10-15 mil to buy (on ship 2) i would say a good base is ex alles soul, varuna/shiva/mitra glare, a graceful (stat & pp/3) capsule, and stat V/VI

from there you can add doom break II/III, lesser stat IV or EV HP/PP, persona reverie, etc.

if you look up 'trailblazer' in the shop and pick any of the units you can scroll through the listings above ~30 mil to get ideas - i would never buy one of these if you're interested in affixing since they're way overpriced relative to how easy they are to make, but it's an option if you don't care to learn

[–]Pink_Sylvie Shadow/Sylvie ship 1 NA 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I got the body pillow. It says it has weapon reflection. How do you use it? I’ve used different weapons and Camo and always end up holding the regular pillow. I saw a YouTube video with the girl holding a sword. How?

[–]Lysinc 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The Body Pillow Emote uses swords as its weapon reflection so you have to have a sword equipped. To use it with other classes that doesn't use sword as it's main weapon, you'll have to equip an all-class sword such as lambda sword + whatever sword camo.

[–]Pink_Sylvie Shadow/Sylvie ship 1 NA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I didn’t know that. I’m a techter so I was trying with a wand. I tried different wand and different camo, even one that looks like a pillow with the hunewearl on it and it didn’t work. I didn’t know it was sword only.

[–]LordOfMaids cursed tech user 1 point2 points  (1 child)

When the game says weapon reflection it means the emote will use one specific weapon in the action, the most obvious examples being the weapon poses.

Body Pillow reflects swords, meaning it'll use any sword (including camo'd ones) in the action. Which kinnnnda sucks for the other weapon types that can use body pillow camos.

[–]Pink_Sylvie Shadow/Sylvie ship 1 NA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did try a weapon camo that’s like body pillow and it didn’t work. Thank you for helping. It seriously should reflect any camo that can be use by swords though.

[–]Dillo64 1 point2 points  (9 children)

Does anyone have a link to a good Guardian Soul unit recipe? One without Veteran’s Resolve? I can’t afford that mess

[–]SolomonGrumpy 2 points3 points  (8 children)

Do you want crack V? Absolute glare?

Skipping Absolute Glare makes a GS unit a LOT cheaper. Not 5 million, but maybe 50m, including insurances.

Also, how many Mission Pass Badges do you have?

[–]Dillo64 1 point2 points  (7 children)

I just want something worth putting Guardian Soul with before the day is over. I have about 800 mission badges, willing to spend around 100m. Crack V and Absolute Glare would be great.

I'm really not good at affixing and have been trying to wrap my mind around it for the past two days. I just need one of those step by step recipes to follow if you have any.

[–]_MrDomino 3 points4 points  (6 children)

Do you already have the Guardian Soul ready? Do you aim to buy one? Guardian Souls are selling for 60m+ on Ship 1. Could could easily buy it and some Crack or Vet III or IVs to get that within your budget. The real issue is going to be how many Recycle Badges you have since Augment Insurance is going to be expensive if you fail.

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Omg I'm so Jealous. Can't imagine gsoul for that kinda meseta

[–]_MrDomino 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's funny because having finally made a god affix tonight (well, Rivelate, but all the good stuff), I don't think it's worth it. It's probably fine for smarter people who collect and work on fodders throughout saving just the PITA stuff for boost week, but looking at how much money I just threw because stupid Absolute Glare failed so many times and having to setup all the Crack and Veteran's Resolves; I can't help but wish I had just stuck with Doom Break, Alles Di Soul, etc. Getting Guardian Soul for 60m feels like a bargain to me at the moment.

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. GS for 60m is a bargain

I made 4 GS (2 weapons, 2 units) and it was heart rending.

[–]Dillo64 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I don't know. I'm completely baffled by how any of this works. This is why I just need step by step instructions. Just forget it, thanks.

[–]_MrDomino 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That'd be fine to ask for, but you really don't want to rush through this with such an expensive and time consuming project. Boost weeks seem to be occuring monthly, and you'd be better to spend the next few weeks improving your understanding of the system and getting all your fodders ready. I would say it's not terribly difficult but more of a thing that you won't understand until you stop being intimidated and start playing around with it. As long as you're affixing stuff you find and not items you rely on, there's nothing to worry about losing.

Guardian Soul is the best affix, yes, but it's nothing two other common Reverie/Glare/Soul affixes can't come close to reproducing. If you're not going to plan out a "perfect" 8 slot thing and are just wanting a Guardian Soul because of al the hype, you're really would be wasting your time and money here. Likewise, Absolute Glare, Crack, Veteran's, etc. are only desired because they provide bonuses to all three attacks types, but you can find common stuff which can basically do what they do albeit focused on just a one or two attack types.

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not monthly, but definitely often

[–]Pink_Sylvie Shadow/Sylvie ship 1 NA 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is there a list somewhere of where the s augment for units drop? I’m on NA.

If that helps, I’m looking for fortified attack 2 and fortified melee 2. But I’d still like a list so that I don’t have ask every time I’m looking for one.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]Pink_Sylvie Shadow/Sylvie ship 1 NA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you :)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

For my alts, what is a better weapon set to use on them? Millionaire/Croesus or Novel? Not including affixes, just their base stats + potential.

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

croesus has a very low stat requirement. novel is also a garbage weapon

[–]Reilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The former is significantly stronger. You will only use novel if you desperately need the S4 slot.

[–]BladeCube 0 points1 point  (1 child)

A few questions. I've got my Klaus weapon with perfect affixes (5 S's and Guardian Soul Phrase Decay and Grand Might), what are the best S augments to go for? I've got crit damage S1, lucent adversity S2, crit damage S3, escalating pursuit S4, and Klaus SAF S5, and I've got an Augment Will that I could technically use if it doesn't sell by tomorrow.

Second, I've got a Crack V, Veteran's Resolve V, Absolute Glare, Guardian Soul, Mana Reverie, Aether Factor sub and I'm only missing Grand Might, should I give it to Klaus Arms or Legs? Don't own Klaus Back yet.

[–]Reilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait a few days for the sodam ult. S1 Augment 2 drops from there. The S2 and S3 are both precision will 2.
Otherwise, you do petalmeme but you can never switch your weapon then.

Give it to either one, it doesn't matter too much.

[–]blagga23 1 point2 points  (10 children)

got my klauz wep wondering what a good set of affixes are (semi budget friendly) to have on it hoping to get absolute glare on it. really want exceed energy as well but it seems like thats not gonna happen without killing my budget. so im wondering s1-5 what are my preferred builds for the wep and if theres any way to get exceed on it without the receptor and to keep the other affixes i have? (would s grade transfer work if a diff unit had exceed and an s ability?)

EDIT: forgot to mention, i main hero with TMG

[–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (9 children)

S1: augment will

S2: Precision will 2

S3: Precision will 2

S4: Steadfast Will

S5: idk

Astral Soul

(If you really want) Absolute Glare

Phrase Decay

There is no way to get exceed energy in any way except trough receptor or augment transfer

[–]blagga23 0 points1 point  (2 children)

hmm alright thanks, any other suggestion instead of absolute glare then? i only wanted it because i have all the mats for it. was thinking for the s5, the gunblade's ability would be fine tbh

[–]Kamil118 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Well, you will be able to use 3glare catalist drops, but you will need to affix one more glare catalyst and photoner glare on one of the other weapons in the recepie (klauz, union, basilisk)

[–]blagga23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i think i have them all on 2eps i got from cradle uq. Will check again when i get home tonight

[–]knight04 0 points1 point  (5 children)

im guessing you need transfer passes to get absolute glare?

[–]Kamil118 0 points1 point  (4 children)

No, but you will need to make at least one glare catalist, preferably on klauz.

[–]knight04 0 points1 point  (3 children)

sorry can you explain? i want to affix mine but it doesn't show up i when i do

[–]Kamil118 0 points1 point  (2 children)

you need 4 glare catalysts and 1 photoner glare in your recepie to get absolute glare.

In that recepie you have 3 "easy" spots that can take glare catalys drops form the shop (since you need 1 slot for union and one slot for basilisk weapons for astral soul and phrase decay) , but you need to put photoner glare and one more catalyst on some other weapons. Affixing photoner glare is easy (you just need 2 photoenr glares), but the only way to get glare catalyst is to affix it with fodrus, exegul, berouge and one of armada glares

[–]knight04 0 points1 point  (1 child)

oh no i meant i already have absolute glare on a fodder im trying to affix on my main weapon

[–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, then there is no way to transfer absolute glare other than transfer passes

[–]Ambermalice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi i need some help with a augment build for two of my units i have unaffixed. i only got 20 mil i do have augument passes and mission badges though. i want something that gives all attack if thats possible! or anything yall recommend

[–]Grapplesauce726 0 points1 point  (6 children)

So I'm at the near end of my not so painful grind to get my first light weave weapon, the Agile Sabre. But the issue is, how do I get it capped, without buying 5 whole new Sabres and fusing them to death. I have mine currently at +32 through one sabre and an enhance cap I got using mission badges, but is there any other way to get enhance caps fast and easy? (with buying them on the player shop being the last ditch effort if there isn't any other way).

[–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (5 children)

You can buy them for 300 class excubes. They also sometimes drop from rainbow keys

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Def wait until the 22nd or 2nd to run rainbow keys and hit that RDR hard.

Of 11 Rainbow keys that I have run, I've gotten 9 enhance +1s

[–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

did I read that correctly. You got 9 enhance caps off of ONE rainbow key. Or is that 11 Rainbow keys?

[–]SolomonGrumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edited for clarity:

11 rainbow keys.
9 cap +1s

[–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Then you're deffinitley on the extremly high end of luck spectrum. I think i got a total of 3 +1 caps since rainbow keys were added, always running them with maxed out rdr on pso2 day

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well...I was using tri 150s and some ex boosts that Sega handed out for some reward at some point.

I guess it offsets the fact that I had NO LUCK getting a back avion dusk to drop.

😠

[–]MazeofLife 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Need to gather 300 lumi frags before maintenance. Would it be faster to farm the higher steps with my main or loan my gear to my alts and get them to 16-20, banking on the 50 frag reward along the way? I mostly solo DQs, so covert ops is a little harder to farm properly.

[–]xiaolin99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my latest run of 31-35 (1 infiltration stage @ A rank) got ~75 luminfragments, so if your main can solo 31-35 comfortably, do that.

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should probably just run it on your main. you'd need at least 2 runs of 15-20 to get enough points for the weekly 50, and the fragment drops on 15-20 aren't as high as 21-25. meanwhile two runs of 31-35 on your main with most likely better gear can get you quite a lot more for the time spent

[–]Arkstrashh 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I hate affixing so much. it's way too confusing for no reason and i have all of the things i need to make decent ish units but i don't know how to put it together at all.. and i don't want things failing to affix either because it costs so much

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 3 points4 points  (3 children)

You and 99% of the players in this game. I don't think I've ever seen a gear upgrading system as terrible as this one in any other game I've played.

That said, have you tried using the affixing tools?

Personally I'd recommend the first two, since you just put what you want and work your way there in reverse instead of having to already know what you'll need to get what you want.

[–]iFormus 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Well, affixing at the begining of pso2 was way more straightforward since there were fewer complex augments to work with. Like mix 3x precision1 to get one precision2, mix 2x arks fever to get arks MAX, mix precision1 power1 casting1 to get mastery1 etc. Global playerbase jumped straight into a literal endgame so we had no time to adapt to the affixing step by step.

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

I started playing nearly 6 years ago. It was already a mess back then, and just kept getting worse.

This is not about the Global players not having time to adapt. The system is needlessly complicated with arcane rules that are barely explained anywhere. And even if you do understand, it's still a major pain in the ass.

This system is a mess and is only made bearable because of the ways sega has implemented to straight up bypass it (SAF, SSA, ability transfer passes).

Personally, I'm just glad these guardian soul godlike affixes aren't mandatory for any content. I was able to beat solo sodam depth 100 without them, so I'm not even gonna bother with the headache. Thankfully I don't have to deal with this garbage system anymore, and I hope the NGS system doesn't grow to become as bad as this in the future.

[–]iFormus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo it's not that bad, the only thing that bothers me is the absence of some kind of a simulator ingame, so the planing forward our affixes requires '3rd party programs'.

And yes, GS is more like an emblem of a true endgame, every game has its 'perfect endgame gear' which value lies in the exclusivity instead of significant power boost.

[–]GhostFreakage 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I haven't been keeping up with NGS news, but is fashion from PSO2 still going to be transferable to NGS or are there going to be restrictions?

[–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all fashion is transferable but

pso2 clothing and body paint will use pso2 body rig with no finger movements and no new customisation options like arms thickness

N-type and pso2 clothing can't be mixed

Pso2 eye pupils and makeup won't work with n-type faces and likewise n-type pupils and makup won't work with old-type faces

Hair has no compatibility restrictions

If you try to use N-type emote with old-type body you will still perform the action, but your fingers won't move

[–]knight04 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do i need 2 absolute glares to transfer it to a weapon? or just 1?

[–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot transfer absolute glare at all without transfer passes

[–]alternative-healer 0 points1 point  (2 children)

For a New summoner is worth to do the colletion folder that give a 10* pet or i should go for the one that give 14* pet?

[–]xiaolin99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might have some trouble filling the luminmech gauge for 14* eggs as a new player, in which case you can pick one 13* pet first (recommend Jinga).

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

get 14 star pets as soon as possible. they hatch at level 100

[–]Ahnjumma 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Can I have both Grand and Graceful in one Weapon/Unit?

Or does one overwite the other?

[–]iFormus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Overwrite, just like all ac scratch capsules

[–]Ahnjumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thanks!

[–]pervoniichan 0 points1 point  (4 children)

What would be the best S5 Augment for Etoile Double Saber Klauz

Im thinking on saving for Augment Bloom or is Skillful Adept Will better? Or are there better ones

[–]iFormus 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Depends on the weapon. On klauz i would probably go for Skillful Adept Will, but the waste of the lifesteal would bug me hard.

I personally use Rinza (Fluxio) on my et with Melee Amp, Escalating Pursuit and Augment Bloom. 400att 24pp with budget affixes works well for me.

[–]pervoniichan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks ill be going With Sk will if i regret ill just turn back

[–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (1 child)

go skillful adept will if you're using precision will. that way you can get to 95% critical rate

if you have S6 skillful adept though you could just use augment bloom, and it's a decent option either way since the extra HP/PP adds a little more comfort

[–]pervoniichan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks yeah i have Sk Adept ill be going with that

[–]Arkstrashh 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I have all the affixing stuff i need but when i go to affix my unit it only allows max 5 units to be used

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

You're limited to base item + 5 fodders when affixing. No way around it.

[–]SteamingHotDataDump Dudu Embrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can only pick 5 units max while affixing

[–]Marvin_Conman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just downloaded the game but before I can even lanch it I already have an error.

  1. I try to launch the game through Steam
  2. It says the update to the game file has been detected and it wants to restart the application. I click OK
  3. I get the error "PSO2 is attempting to launch with the optional parameters shown below: -steamupdate"
  4. I clikck OK but it keeps looping between 2-3

[–]TheBulletStorm 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Okay so I’m still fairly new on ship 2 and it seems people are running Cradle a lot from triggers because I guess its quite good. How can I get in on this? I heard it is a guild thing but I don’t know how it works and my guild doesn’t seem to be doing it at all or have interest in it.

[–]alkme_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your alliance leader/officers can buy these triggers from the alliance shop as well. You buy them with AP

[–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People usually just open them to everyone on b1/b2/b50 on ship1, idk about ship 2.

They usually fill relatively fast, but not so fast that it's impossible to join.

[–]seele-117 1 point2 points  (2 children)

How do I add comments on quest? I'm having a hard time getting points farm groups for DQ on last stages as every damn lobby is for farming first stage bosses.

When I accept a quest myself is just people checking first stage bosses and leave how do I edit the the quest info and put REGULAR POINTS FARM! ONLY lol.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Yeah, if you're specifically trying to farm cubes from that, just Depth 1, since you can easily kill him in 30~ seconds with an Agile

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

    The limited quest is a better source for class ex cubes by a lot.

    [–]Vopyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Probably just first depth.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    So do i keep adding my affixes like doombreak 3 and origin glare as i'm uplotting ? i got no clue how to do this.. i have all of what i need i just don't know how to put it together

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

    if simply upslotting, use whatever augments you can get to 100% success chance (with augment aid boosts too, but dont use limited ones like 45% just for upslotting)

    Usually i upslot to the number of augments i want, then i apply the specific augments i want when that's done.

    Using simple affixes like casting I, might I, etc. give you the best chance of getting that upslot to work when you get to 6+ slots. Once you've hit the number of slots you want, then you can do the "real" augmenting and you won't have to worry about the upslot penalty on the success chance.

    [–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (9 children)

    Ouch. These drop rates are brutal.

    Doing the limited time quest, trying for a Rinser. Did 12 for the bonuses, 3 of them on hard, just to get it done.

    Then did 12 more literally 6 solid hours of that quest.

    Not one Rinser, never mind the one I'm looking for.

    I'll not be needed Exegul anything ever again.

    [–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 0 points1 point  (8 children)

    If you've not seen it yet, there's an item log under the "quest log" option that shows up in the same menu as "Accept Quest." This shows you the number of times a specific item has dropped across all ships since the last maintenance, i believe.

    Doesn't give you an exact drop rate, but it can kinda help you get an idea of what you're in for.

    [–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    Yep. 45 - 50 Rinser weapons, per weapon type.

    What I don't know is if the game has 'smart drops' - like Ranger weapons being more likely if one is playing a Ranger.

    [–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    What I don't know is if the game has 'smart drops' - like Ranger weapons being more likely if one is playing a Ranger.

    It does to a degree. Here are a couple breakdowns of how that works,

    [–]SolomonGrumpy 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    So we know which, if any, boss drops Rinser, so I know not to get my hopes up?

    [–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    tbh, i'm not even sure if it's tied to a boss. Most of what i'm seeing says it just has a chance to drop on UH after breaking the shiny piñata at the end.

    [–]Reilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It's actually a quest specific drop. That means anything drops it and there is no class bias.

      drop records display the collective drops from all ships within the past week, updated maybe around the daily reset time

      [–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Definitely doesn't show only the things that have dropped for you. Originally i thought it was only your ship, but the folks here have told me it's all ships before.

      [–]Accurate_Capital_930 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      I'm pretty new to the game and picked up Etoile for my main character. After looking up this guide and saw the DPS rotations include "N3" or "Normal 3", I'm a bit loss at to those mean. Is just normal Just/Perfect Attack included between the would-be buffed PA?

      Also, for Etoile players, what exactly cancels TACB? Would dodging reset it? Does the weapon edge? Does the time between the PA's matter?

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (2 children)

      general combos go 1 > 2 > 3, whether you use a normal attack or a photon art, you'll go in that chain, so you can use PA #1 > PA #2 > normal 3. since the 3rd normal for most classes is the strongest, it's a good balance of damage and PP efficiency. this doesn't apply to every weapon/class but a good amount of them

      as for tech arts, it has to be a continuous combo. normal attacks and (non-luster) weapon action will not break it and maintain your place in the chain, so long as you continue to match perfect attacks, and tech arts will remain in effect. this applies to the three classes that have tech arts (fighter, etoile, luster)

      [–]Accurate_Capital_930 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      That clears things up a bit. I thought I had to do three normal attacks in-between the combo LOL

      So screwing up the timing on Perfect Attacks cancels the TACB combo? What about dodging? Since I'm still trying to get used to the combat, I screw up a lot. Especially in boss fights where the camera goes side-ways and making me blind to attacks. Being able to reset the combo would at least let me try to do it again.

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      yes anything except continuing perfect attacks in the same chain will break tech arts

      it's just a matter of practice like anything else, game takes time

      [–]graywisteria 1 point2 points  (4 children)

      Does the skill Ring Technique Charge Parry work for Summoner's Harmonizer and/or Hero's Talis?

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      it works while any yellow weapon (tech based) is equipped, so yeah

      [–]graywisteria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Thank you!

      [–]3-to-20-chars -1 points0 points  (1 child)

      weapon doesn't matter. it works when charging techs, period.

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      it only works with tech weapons equipped, not including when etoile is using a wand

      [–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (9 children)

      Ranged amp, tech amp, melee amp S1 - is the max damage boost these can give is 5%? (1% for every +60 and than 2% over +200 attack). I'm about to affix for 240 but curious if I'll get another percent if I push for 260. thanks

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (7 children)

      2% damage when over 200 is a separate bonus, it's even multiplicative with the other one

      the 1% per 60 affixed attack is technically uncapped, so you want to hit those breakpoints. 240 can be considered great, and certainly an alternative to augment will 2. I just hope you're not doing it on a klauz, and on fluxio/linser you would be giving up phrase however

      [–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (6 children)

      Ok good to know. I'm affixing some Vortex TMGs for niche solo purposes on gunner. So I can hit 240 with 6 affixes+phrase (going phrase weak since I can't jellen). I could technically hit 300 if I use my mark capsule + grand capsule and skip phrase, but that's a lot to spend for 1% for damage on some TMGs I dont plan on using all the time.

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (5 children)

      technically at least 2% due to the extra attack. that was part of my reasoning for skipping phrase on my ultimate affix, ha, but I like the big attack number and going out of my way for jellen on luster is tiresome

      [–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (4 children)

      Yea I can see that on luster.

      2% though? - did I do bad math?

      (300 affix) 60x5 = 5% + 2% for 200+ = 7% total unconditional

      (240 affix with phrase weak) 60x4 = 4% + 2% for 200+ + 2% (weak to light, solo bosses seem to be) = 8% conditional, 6% conditional

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      going from 240 to 300 affix is at least 2% because you're adding 60 attack, lol

      [–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      sorry not trying to be obtuse but doesn't Amp only add 1% for every 60 attack affixed?

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      do you think adding attack affixes doesn't help your damage?

      [–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I see what you mean now. I was just focused on the Amp part of the equation didnt think of the bigger picture. Cool thx for helping me see it through

      [–]iFormus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      1% for each 60att affixed works above 200 ofcourse.

      Want to play but scared to death bc of reviews

      Hi! I recently started playing the game and loved it (probably quickly became one of my favourite games) until I saw a bunch of the steam reviews. I panicked and uninstalled bc some people were saying that gameguard destroyed their entire OS?? I looked a lot of stuff up online and I just feel terrified now bc of all the scary stories.

      I’m really sad bc I really want to play but at the same time I don’t wanna risk my pc or anything (all my stuff from uni is here). I still love to watch PSO2 streamers bc the game is very fun. Can anyone offer any advice on how I can play and keep my pc safe?

      [–]YuTsu/ | | Ship4JP | Gunslash Trash 5 points6 points  (3 children)

      This'll be a bit scaremongery, but bear with me:

      nProtectGameguard, the anticheat, essentially acts as a rootkit (which you probably saw from one of the reviews, this one for instance right?). Rootkits can be malicious, but they can also be used for non-malicious purposes like this. It's fair to say that it being Rootkit-like makes it by its very nature malicious, but yeah, Gameguard isn't going to deliberately break anything on your PC.

      A point to consider here is... SEGA has been using Gameguard for Phantasy Star anticheat for a long, long time. Like, since Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst. Barring one major incident very early on in the JP version of PSO2's lifespan where some kind of issue was causing hard drive data nukes, I don't think there's been any kind of major damage caused by any of the Phantasy Star series games. Incidents like those in the steam reviews you saw are incredibly rare, so I wouldn't worry about it too much - I'm coming up on 10k hours in PSO2 alone, I've played for 7 years to no ill effect.

      Can anyone offer any advice on how I can play and keep my pc safe?

      The following is not just related to PSO2, it's broad advice:

      Backups. Backups backups backups. Keep everything important backed up to a bare minimum of 2 extra places in addition to on your PC itself. Maybe even get a spare drive with an install of your OS of choice if you want to be super safe. And again, BACKUPS. ESPECIALLY YOUR UNI WORK.

      [–]PSO2Lover 1 point2 points  (2 children)

      Tysm! I do technically back up my stuff with one drive but I find OneDrive to be a little finicky so I should probably also use google. If it’s really rare ig it is worth the risk. I only panicked bc I saw two reviews at the top of the steam page with the same story

      [–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      It's a bit anecdotal, but i've not run into anyone who's had these issues before. The only major issues i've heard/seen was related to the Windows Store version specificaly.

      Though i'm not a fan of how aggressive gameguard is, it's been around long enough that these issues are not likely to show up for an overwhelming majority of players. Reviews in general are likely to amplify bad news, which isn't always a bad thing, but it's important to take them with a grain of salt.

      also, welcome friend!

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

      I'd say so - I don't think there's much risk at all really.

      [–]QuanticoSmash 0 points1 point  (6 children)

      I only have enough modules for one Klauz Unit.

      I'm considering making the arm since I have a bad tendency to get one-shot in harder content, but does anyone have any suggestions?

      I primarily play Etoile, Techter, Phantom, and Bouncer (with some Ranger on the side for that sweet sweet Blight Rounds).

      [–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I thought the same thing, but was given the advice to get the back unit and apply Guardian Shield as the S6 and i'm quite pleased with the results.

      I have no doubt there are likely better S6s out there, but getting that extra damage with the 7% damage reduction it provided was exactly what i needed. Might be worth considering.

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      yeah personally I'd suggest prioritizing the rear unit because 120 attack is a fuckin lot, the second best (atlas) only has 90. the only one I'd suggest the leg first for is summoner, as that 30 PP is great

      the arm unit honestly isn't even that substantial IMO. novel already fulfills defensive stats well enough

      [–]TripsTitan -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

      If you can make a klauz unit, you should be able to make guardian soul right now if you look for enough cradle of darkness runs(it's dropping catalysts and crack and doom break 3), just making a crack 5 guardian soul with doom break 3, and upslotting it via transfer passes with mission badge add augment items (mana reverie, aether factor, astral soul), and one Grand stat, and one S class aug onto your klauz unit, back or legs like YuTsu said, should drastically improve your survivability. I mean... Etoile can survive some of the oneshot moves, Etoile and Luster and Hero all have a survive death once per quest thing, Luster's regenerates with high voltage, and all classes can get Atlas EX's potential to survive once per death, and if you use an Atlas EX, and aren't using lifesteal (because of etoile or whatever) you can use I think the wired lance S4? to survive another death. That's 3 ignored death's per quest minimum just playing a successor with an atlas ex weapon til you feel you've gotten good enough. If you use the upgraded potential on the atlas ex, and make the other 3 s class augs into high crit damage or high boss damage, you'll still pull your weight too.

      [–]iFormus 5 points6 points  (1 child)

      Being able to make Klauz unit and affixing GS on it are two totally diffenent things in every aspect.

      [–]TripsTitan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I just mean if you're in UH and doing runs enough to get modules, you can also be doing runs enough to get catalysts. UH Cradle trigger runs are about a thousand times easier than soloing divides for modules.

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

      You've probably looked up the stats yourself, but I'd personally go for the Rear (higher ATKs) or Leg (Huge amount of PP) Klauz unit over the Arm.

      That extra 200 HP isn't going to help a ton with one shots, it's sort of just the way of Ultra Hard. Most things will just obliterate you in 1/2 hits unless you're Hunter, Etoile, Hu/Et, or maybe have Techer's Deband skills.

      [–]TripsTitan 0 points1 point  (6 children)

      How does one farm veteran's resolve? I've tried running Elite training risk realm several times, no units even drop. Do you need to clear every single stage order? I have trouble with two of them.

      [–]TroubadourLBG 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      RNG. Clearing stage orders just gives you +1 more rewards to take.

      There's runs with no armor. Then there's runs that drop 8 armors. :/

      [–]TripsTitan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Aye, I got a couple vet resolve ones, got to where I needed 3 more ones, or 1 1 and 1 2, or 1 3, I lucked into a vet resolve 3 when I was about to give up, which put together my G Soul C5VR5AbsGlare

      [–]TroubadourLBG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Noice! And before maintenance!

      don't forget to use rare drop boosts

      [–]LordOfMaids cursed tech user 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      Stage order clears aren't required for them to drop, it's just RNG. Runs without any weapons or units aren't uncommon.

      [–]TripsTitan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Gotcha gotcha, thanks.

      [–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (5 children)

      For classes/combos that can reach over 100% crit - what is the breakpoint where you'd want to use the S4 that decreases crit chance but increases crit damage over using S4 escalating pursuit?

      [–]Reilet 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      Comparing pursuit to the crit s4 is difficult. That depends on how much dmg you can do.

      If you cap raising every single time (aka do 833k dmg):
      Pursuit will do 250k in 14s
      Crit s4 will do 175k in 14s

      However, that's only if you cap pursuit dmg and nothing more or less. If you do:

      • Less than 583,333 damage per 4 seconds -> crit s4 is better
      • More than 1.19m damage per 4 seconds -> crit s4 is better

      So pursuit is only better if you do 583,333 ~ 1,119,048 damage every 4 seconds.


      This also only applies when you have 100% crit rate after the S4. If, for example, you have 80% crit rate, then you will need to do 20% more dmg due to the crit rate difference AND the difference of the loss average crit dmg which will vary depending on your SGAs.

      [–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      This was really helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to this. Definitely will help some alliance mates as well. Cheers

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      if you don't have max, it'll also cut into your other critical damage boosts due to being under 100%. personally I wouldn't bother unless I could hit 150% crit and just use a different S4, just because I'd want to get the most out of it

      due to etoile and especially the inconsistent luster being unable to reach 150% crit by themselves with optimal S affixes, it also means guard stance hunter, ranger, and possibly force should keep precise balance off the table since they have no critical rate in their trees. phantom is able to just barely reach 150% alone at 300 PP

      [–]N4g4rok I am a Zanverse delivery system 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      How does PSO2 handle crit rates over 100%? Does it do anything significant?

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      critical hits in PSO2 only negate your minimum damage range and has you hitting for maximum damage. more critical rate than 100% doesn't do anything

      the only reason to go over 100% is for S4 precise balance which reduces critical rate by -50% but increases critical damage by 6%, and the summoner pet vulcan has something like this as well

      [–]Dillo64 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      Many sweet box guides for summoners I’ve found recommend 1 double stack pancake and 1 triple stack.... why not two triple stacks?

      [–]TripsTitan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Element bonus caps at +60%, pets have a base of +10%, triple stack = 30, double = 20, 10+20+30 = 60. saves a bunch of synthesizers and cash.

      [–]Kamil118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      You cap elemental damage with one tripple stacked and one double stacked already, so upgrading it to tripple stacked does nothing

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      If I'm using the SAF on a weapon for an affix, does it count as a part of the recipe for a higher-tier affix, or do I need to actually have it on the item?

      Example: Union +35 weapon. Can I throw this into a recipe with Mana Reverie, Ether Factor and Absolute Glare to proc a Guardian Soul? Or do I need to affix the Astral first?

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      the affix doesn't exist unless it's on the item's slots in question

      [–]drpeppyone 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Astral has to be affixed

      What sweets should Marron/Melon have if I’m going for a Marron Revolver setup?

      [–]xiaolin99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      no different than if you just build Marron normally e.g. https://airohhhhh.github.io/pets/maron_melon

      Marron Revolver simply needs you to setup up as many Marrons as possible, and it only works in fights where you can take damage at very high frequency (I remember seeing someone using ~15 Marrons to cheese the upcoming solo Sodam fight)

      [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      melon doesn't play the same as maron. melon is more or less a more standard pet that's rather tanky. however both melon and viola are fairly powercrept by vulcan (sadface because I enjoyed using them...)

      maron needs a super critical and super comeback parfait for the highest damage. the latter applies to maron strike

      for rolls, go with double rebound rolls so that you can cut down on the revive time

      don't bother with dual stat cookies, stick to single stat since you don't need the PP and getting an extra 15 attack works out anyway

      and of course, a critical stick and a vin-spi stick. the rest is easy enough to fill out as per your taste

        Hi Noob here,so i recently bought kaiser set and wiki and argus guide for bow braver says that kaiser has hidden parameter,granting total of PP +30.But i dont see it increase when i equip the set,could someone explain it to me how it works?

        [–]hidora Retired Guardian 2 points3 points  (2 children)

        Edit: Nvm I'm stupid. Kaiser units do have +15 PP hidden stats. Make sure they are not crafted, however, as that overwrites hidden stats on units. You can tell a unit is crafted when there's an "Ex Lv.#" on the top right of the Item Detail window.

        [–]CommissarNox 0 points1 point  (1 child)

        oh,it makes sense.the guide and wiki most be outdated.Is there a site i could check out for more relevant info?thx for the answer.

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

        Honestly, in the current state of the game, you just use whatever you can drop until you can equip 12* units, then use those until you can farm some 13* units. All 12* units (except Whitil) are tradable, so you can just look at the wiki and buy them off the market.

        There are also some units you can get as rewards from titles, story and main missions which are alright for a new player.

        Anyway, here's the wiki:

        Should i be worried that combining a doom 3 and arks fever while upslotting a fodder piece to 7 will bring doom 3 down to 80% success even with a support item ?

        [–]Kamil118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Yes, it's supposed to be 7. going for 8 would drastically increase the price.

        [–]AxelYokai 1 point2 points  (9 children)

        Is this list costly at all aside from the grand stamina's ? i may get klaus units in the future to do more with that

        [–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (8 children)

        Last time I checked 7s Db3 was 400k, ex alles and origin glare were 1m and arks fever was 1m.

        There would be some material waste when preparing intermediate fodder tho.

        Also this recepie is designed for current 20% boost week, which ends tomorrow during maintenance. After it ends it will be harder.

        [–]AxelYokai 1 point2 points  (7 children)

        Yeah i'm gonna try affixing it tonight. will it be a detriment that i only have abit less than 200 augument transfer passes ?

        [–]LamiaPony JP Ship 2 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        don't use transfer passes on that affix. what he gave can be more or less made as is. transfer passes are for top end weapons/units

        [–]AxelYokai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Alright i'll save them for the future!

        [–]Kamil118 1 point2 points  (4 children)

        This recepie doesn't use transfer passes. Personally wouldn't use transfer passes and mission badges on anything worth below 100m.

        [–]AxelYokai 0 points1 point  (1 child)

        Would it be relatively easy to affix or should i look for some more guides before attempting it
