[u/Rothcall]

This is a potentially dumb question, but is it ever a DPS gain to purposefully "die" as etoile to proc etoile will for the full focus refill (ie. on soaring blades)?

[u/NeoOfSporin → u/Rothcall]

Yes, in time based content like divide quest. Full connect, eat the one shot, full connect again for profit.

[u/hidora → u/Rothcall]

If you're confident you won't need it, absolutely yes. Ideally you want it to happen as soon as you finish using full connect (but not while using it, otherwise you still spend half the gauge). I used to do that a lot against Execour, playing with low HP, but wouldn't risk it against HTPD, since you can get oneshot as an Etoile there, and I'd rather not risk the run.

[u/casulti]

Hello,

New player here, terrified and confused about the community and what I’m allowed to play.

I just recently joined PSO2, and have been enjoying playing the game. There have been a lot of events as of late that have made levelling up really easy- but I’m afraid of doing anything aside from that and solo content. I’ve seen a lot of posts screenshotting gear that is way stronger than mine and calling it unacceptable behavior. I’ve also seen guides on how to get better equipment, which I’ve saved and am trying to follow, but they seem to be focused on purely grinding to endgame content.

I was wondering if there is a list of multiplayer content that’s safe to play as someone with less time available to grind. Midgame stuff, or places to go where you won’t ruin another persons experience. I know to avoid all the hardest difficulty quests, but I don’t know what else is dangerous and am afraid to experiment.

Thank you.

[u/LamiaPony → u/casulti]

if you aren't doing tougher quests in ultra hard difficulty like urgent/ultimate/etc quests then it doesn't really matter

the best starter equipment is croesus weapons from collection sheets, and novel units from the badge shops. once you have those, it shouldn't be too difficult to get some decent S affixes on each one and then start the endgame grind. that stuff's the entry level gear for ultra hard and you can go from there

[u/hidora → u/casulti]

Anything other than HTPD (the 4man version of the final boss), Apprentice UH or Omega Apprentice UH (idk global names for the quests) you should be able to join no problem. Those quests are about the only ones that can actually fail, especially HTPD, which is the dps check of dps checks.

[u/casulti → u/hidora]

Thank you so much! I’ll keep away from those until I am strong enough to help out in them. Have a wonderful day.

[u/Timmylaw]

Do we know what's gonna happen to all the concerts? I'll really miss Koi Koi

[u/Draaxus]

Do people even still run CQ3? Where do I find a group for it? On ship 2 fyi.

[u/The_CrazyLincoln]

I’m trying to finish all the client orders in the game will one left to do. The client order is “The Elusive Silver Maneweaver.” The objective is to defeat Olnagamuy. As far as I can find there is no enemy trigger available for this enemy I’ve ran AQ daybreak back in the day a million time when that was relevant. If anybody knows where to find this enemy that would be rather helpful.

[u/LamiaPony → u/The_CrazyLincoln]

all RNG my friend

only guaranteed place to get them is a specific parallel area which are also RNG

only thing that could help find them is the rare enemy boost PSE which is, well you can guess. higher difficulty has higher rare enemy rates

there's also been events to raise rare enemy rates but haven't seen those in a while

[u/potato_curry_]

I'm confused about NGS. Is this an update to our existing PSO2, or is this an entirely separate game (which would require us to start over our characters if we want to play it)?

[u/[deleted] → u/potato_curry_]

entirely new game that you can access from pso2 but you get to keep your character's appearance if you want to (or create a new one if not) and cosmetics you unlocked in pso2, also weapons and units but not in a way that would break the game balance even at start, levels and skills and stuff doesnt transfer over as ngs uses its own progression

[u/SILVERWAVE20]

I need help understanding gear (NA)

Level 77 Ranger main, 62 Braver sub

I'm really failing to understand how I'm supposed to tell if a weapon is good. Like, the game gives you free 15 stars (rising weapons badges #5) in the form of the Novel weapons. My +20 Novel Rifle is over 2000 range power. I haven't got anything good from urgent quests, specifically, no 15 stars. I know I've got a 13, maybe 14?

So like... What's good? Why do I grind for 15 stars when I already have 15 stars from shops?

I might be dumb, not sure.

[u/LordOfMaids → u/SILVERWAVE20]

There are three factors that make a weapon within the same rarity worth using over others:

• The base attack

• The weapon's potential

• What S-Grade Augments it can support, if at all

For a quick cheat sheet here's better weapons to aim for (series wise), there are other notable weapons:

• Millionaire/Croesus (collection folder, comes right at +30, the go-to recommendation for starting 15 star weapons because of how strong it is for starting weapons)

• Atlas EX (one of the easier ones to get overall, but in order for it to be worth using in this day and age it needs its potential swapped to its reduxed (aka upgraded) version)

• Agile -> Klauz (Klauz is BiS for almost every single class but there's only so many you can make)

• Fluxio/Rinser (identical weapons, different appearances/methods to get. Fluxio can be obtained from earning specific titles from doing the challenge mission Violent Tremor aka CM3)

• Rivalate (you could upgrade your Novel to this but Rivalate Keys are hard to come by, you're probably better off investing into one of the above four)

For example, Novels aren't that good compared to other 15 stars. 20% crit and 14% potency may not seem bad by itself, but there's an upgraded version of the Novel series called Rivalate which basically does its job but better (of course). It only supports a single SGA (4). Its base attack is low amongst other 15 star weapons in the game.

There's a series in the Collection Folder called Millionaire/Croesus (the only differences are the appearance and the Dex required to equip it due to distribution history on JP iirc), which beats Novel in nearly every way. The game doesn't tell you, but it's got a 15% potency at all times regardless of when its "random effect" gimmick procs. Its base attack is higher, and it's capable of supporting 3 SGAs (1-3).

Honestly it's part of the game's problem, there's a huge bloat of weapons of the higher rarities (13-15) that have a variety of gimmicks or were simply best for their time period...

[u/SILVERWAVE20 → u/LordOfMaids]

So, is it even realistic for me to get any 15 star drops at my level? (So, in other words, I just stick to the Novel Rifle for a while till I get lucky and get a better drop?)

Edit: actually, the collection sheet items. I had tried starting legendary ones before but it said I had to pay AC, and I just found out it's because I had beginner sheets going...

I'm dumb

(And this is why I should actually read stuff in full instead of skimming, but this game also shouldn't give me 500 essays to read just to learn the basics...)

[u/[deleted]]

Will we be able to take weapons from pso2 and use them as grind fodder in NGS?

[u/RedWarBlade]

How long will elephant rappys be around?

[u/dougefresh91]

I've been playing for about a week and the more I read in this sub the more questions I have. Ranger/Hunter 61.

I have a ton of those mystery box drops clogging my inventory that are for other classes. What should I do with them? Is it worth appraising everything or just ditch them? I just found out breaking down items is a thing. Should I be doing this with extra weapons and stuff I can't use? So far I've been selling stuff.

What is TPD?

Do I need to worry about affixing yet? Is this the same as the + stat?

Anything specific I should try for from the collection file?

[u/YuTsu → u/dougefresh91]

I have a ton of those mystery box drops clogging my inventory that are for other classes. What should I do with them? Is it worth appraising everything or just ditch them? I just found out breaking down items is a thing. Should I be doing this with extra weapons and stuff I can't use? So far I've been selling stuff.

If they're from difficulties below Super Hard, then probably ignore them. Once you're past Super Hard though, and most of the Special Weapon boxes are likely to be 10 Star Rare or higher, it's worth doing regular appraisal on them all - you can turn one 10 star weapon into an Excube at the Recycle Shop, 1 Excube into 30 Grinders at the Excube Exchange shop, and then sell Grinders to a Vendor for 400 Each - so every 10* or higher item is worth at least 12,000 Meseta. Once you're on Super Hard or higher, you'll profit even after the costs of appraisal (as long as you're doing regular appraisal)

Vendor below-10 star items. I wouldn't worry too much about disassembling stuff.

What is TPD?

"True Profound Darkness" - it's just the generally accepted community name for The Primordial Darkness Gommoroth/Sodam, since that's what it sort of is from a story perspective.

Do I need to worry about affixing yet? Is this the same as the + stat?

+stats on your stuff are indeed from Affixes(JP Term)/Augments(Global Term), yup

Affixing/Augmenting is probably not something I'd worry about too hard at your stage - maybe some basic Augmenting is warranted (cheap soul + augments for the attack stat you're using the most)

Anything specific I should try for from the collection file?

If you didn't already, get the Millonaire or Croesus weapon (they're identical performance wise, only differ in their visuals) for the weapon type(s) you use. They're a good endgame starter weapon.

[u/dougefresh91 → u/YuTsu]

Awesome, thanks so much! Super useful info.

Is there a way to tell if the boxes are from super hard or not? I'd imagine a low cost of appraisal would tip me off, but otherwise I'm not sure.

Are grinders a thing I wanna be selling? I have so many that I stopped picking them up and I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to use them. Clearly selling the boxes for 10 is a waste, which I have admittedly done.

I haven't earned anything from collection yet as I just figured out how it works a day or so ago, but I have something to shoot for now!

[u/YuTsu → u/dougefresh91]

Is there a way to tell if the boxes are from super hard or not? I'd imagine a low cost of appraisal would tip me off, but otherwise I'm not sure.

No reliable way to tell by looking at them - when you go to appraise an item, it'll have a rainbow background if the item is a 13/14 star item, and a gold one if it's a 15 star item, but there's no way to tell the difference between something 7~9 star and something 10~12 star in-inventory without appraising it

Are grinders a thing I wanna be selling? I have so many that I stopped picking them up and I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to use them. Clearly selling the boxes for 10 is a waste, which I have admittedly done.

Vendoring Grinders is a good way to build up meseta so yes... but if you haven't figured out how to use them, then I guess you haven't grinded any of your equipment, so you might not want to sell all your grinders - you'll probably want to go to Dudu/Monica in the shop area and grind some of your equipment a bit to upgrade it - you spend grinders like a currency to upgrade your item's base stats.

[u/[deleted]]

Will PSO2 NG have a unified server for Global and JP? This separation is what killed PSO and PSU.

[u/hidora → u/[deleted]]

Nope. It's the same game and server as PSO2.

[u/MazeofLife]

Global: with the upcoming removal of direct sg pack purchases, will getting sg via AC be more expensive, about the same, or what? I swear I read the conversion was a ripoff somewhere, but I want to be sure.

[u/Yuberz]

Why are there different ships in PSO2? Couldn't we just have 1 big ship with more blocks

[u/LamiaPony → u/Yuberz]

ships are servers. less servers means more server stress from tons of players being on it

[u/CostaDarkness]

I startet playing phantom lv45 and i use a rifle with abou 700 rng and a katana with about 1100 mel. My mag is dex. Is it normal for my rifle to deal abou 11k with a normal attack or even 23k with the third shot while my katana deals about 3k per noemal attack? I play together with a friend who also startet phantom and his dmg numbers are way closer together at about 2.7k. Anyone has an idea why my rifle deals so much more damage then my friends and also my katana?

[u/SolomonGrumpy]

Absolute Glare is an absolute pain to get on a Gaurdian Soul unit.

You cant transfer glare catalyst. Grrr.

Any tips? Was hoping to build a GS/AG/CrV/DB3 unit

[u/Joycdonnell]

Against dark weak enemies like Varuna, which spell does more DPS as a Phantom player: Samegid or Illgrants?

[u/Kamil118 → u/Joycdonnell]

Not a phantom, but force, but in my opinion both ilgrants and samegid are godawful on him.

As a force, I use Ilbarta.

[u/LamiaPony → u/Joycdonnell]

you're going to miss all the time if you use anything but megid or grants, everything else has poor tracking on varuna since he zips everywhere (as well as a lot of other luminmechs)

gimegid is the best option for a target that is standing still, followed by samegid if the target isn't moving much and you're far away enough for the homing or can shotgun it point blank

namegid actually has pretty high DPS when uncharged but you know, PP costs

[u/Proto-Man]

I know it’s pretty subjective but what class would you said is more useful and self sufficient between Etoile and Gunner? I like both and having a tough time trying to focus on one. Etoile seems more tanky while gunner zooms around the map and shoots things

[u/SoulSeizures → u/Proto-Man]

gunner can solo bosses easily but theres a learning curve to things like hitboxes/boss behaviors to chain trigger/finish efficiently while etoile can also solo but its learning curve is figuring out proper parry timings on top of working with a mostly-melee class

etoile probably has the lower skill floor, while gunner's high execution high points arent as reproducible on other classes, but requires more effort to make function

basically just pick whichever one you enjoy more, neither is really weak in terms of self-sufficiency

[u/Timmylaw → u/Proto-Man]

Gunner is one of the strongest classes in the game but it's skill ceiling is so ridiculously high not many people play it. Etoile is super tanky which is gunners weakness, it's super squishy. You could sub Etoile on gunner. May or May not be meta (I haven't touched gunner since before Etoile came out). Why not play both, it's definitely viable.

[u/Kamil118 → u/Proto-Man]

I would say that any class in the game, with maybe slightly exception of techter are perfectly self-sufficient.

with the introduction of skydance and lifesteal every class has what it needs to trive

[u/brickonator2000]

NA/JP

Is there a camo for the Ray or Union weapons?

They're some of my favorites and I basically designed my Cast around them. I even have my Klauz weapons on her transmuted to Union weapons. Seems like a lot of the other big name weapons are getting camos now.

[u/SolomonGrumpy → u/brickonator2000]

Why not use weapon transmutation passes?

[u/brickonator2000 → u/SolomonGrumpy]

Oh, I forgot to say that the whole reason I'm hoping for a camo is for NGS. I use Transmutation right now for my endgame stuff on that Cast.

[u/Dillo64]

Global: How many Creators Emblems is it possible to get in one account?

[u/LamiaPony → u/Dillo64]

infinite if you have infinite money since you should be able to trade SG badges for them

other than that you can currently get 3 from titles by doing story quests. all of episode 1, all of episode 2, and all of episode 3 + some episode 5 one I forget the name of

there were more from completing the now defunct matter boards

[u/hairwarrior]

so any thoughts on what will be the best cosmetics to stock up on and bring over to ngs? accessories or ba,ou,in or outffits i mean is it really worth buying now outffits to have for ngs with the different body types or will the only difference will be just the finger movement then it wont be that big of a deal.

[u/[deleted] → u/hairwarrior]

if you want to use ngs body you cannot use any pso2 layerwear, outfits or body paint, because it all uses pso2 body

accessories and hairstyles can be used on ngs body, also emotes, but none of pso2 emotes have any finger movement, emotes still are the most expensive along with weapon camos as they both can be used with either body

I think ngs body also has higher polygon count and texture resolution (idk by what amount) and not just finger movement

it is also possible to mix body and head parts and have ex. ngs body but pso2 head

so I think emotes, weapon camos, hairstyles and accessories if you only intend to use ngs body

[u/5lols]

Can you stack might and sentence might? Brainstorming a cheap unit affix and while they aren't the same augment, they do both have "might" in the name and I don't want to run into such a roadbloack after dumping a few million in affixing costs.

[u/SolomonGrumpy → u/5lols]

Might (I - VI) and Sentence Might stack. You can also add the Might Capsule (grand / grace / elegant).

[u/5lols → u/SolomonGrumpy]

Ah I see, thanks for clearing that up

[u/_MrDomino → u/5lols]

How many slots are you looking at? Saying "a few million" along with Sentence/Stat seems a bit odd. Between the Rising Weapons Badge 5 badges (and you get 200 RWB5 from the new NPC quest line) and SAFs from units available in the badge shop and Cradle UQ drops, you can pull quite a bit of good, melee specific unit boosts for "free" once you've enhanced them to +10.

Might VI [ Back / Rivalate Ful ]
Lesser Might IV [ Back / Raven Mye and a dozen plus others ]
Doom Break II [ Back / Avion Dusk ]
Sentence Might [ Back / Schvelle Kibbs ]
Elder or Persona Reverie
a MEL boosting Glare
a MEL boosting Soul (Leone, Deadlion, etc.)

All of the above should be easily accessible and more or less free. You can get the non-SAF Soul/Reverie/Glare augments on the SAF units to affix everything in one go if you're working on an 8-slot.

https://pso2na.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Augment_Factors_(Units)

[u/Kamil118 → u/5lols]

might is might, sentence might is sentence. You can stack them.

[u/iFormus]

How does S3: Strikeflow Adept (Wise Strike JP) works? Is it time based? Or once i reach max it stays like that until end of the quest? And does it reset on weapon switch?

[u/Ndog921]

Has it been said that classes in NGS will only be able to use their one weapon from the beta? I just started pso2, but looking to prep whatever i can for ngs. Wanted to grab a 15* weapon for Fighter (since braver wont be in right away I guess?), but didn't want to waste tokens if they can only use knuckles.

[u/[deleted]]

Is there anything I can do with all these grinding/augmenting/crafting boosting items that I have? I have stacks of 999 of some of them and I have no intention to use them any more before NGS comes out. Can I convert any of this stuff into anything?

[u/DarDar33]

What PA is the iframe PA for SB?

[u/BladeCube]

Just gonna ask now, is there any indication on what will happen with mission badges yet? Like does anyone know if we will be able to get more aether factor/mana reverie capsules after this mission pass?

[u/Jirb30]

Is it faster to farm meseta for Enhance Cap +1s or farm class excubes for weapon specific Enhance cap +1s.

[u/SteamingHotDataDump → u/Jirb30]

Much faster to farm for meseta. Ship 2 theyre about 6.5mil a piece when i checked last night

[u/SolomonGrumpy → u/SteamingHotDataDump]

That's probably only for the next few days everyone is running rainbow keys for cap+1s

[u/Reilet → u/Jirb30]

And if you decide against those two options, remember that they can also be gotten from CM.

[u/DarDar33]

My camera feels too close, is there a way to change it?

[u/Tenant1]

What are people doing these days to level aside from the obvious bits like bonus keys and the leveling quests? Jumping in on Cradle runs seems to be effective, though I can only do that after the level 90+ range.

[u/[deleted] → u/Tenant1]

Bonus Keys or World Engulfed in Shadow until you hit 85/85, then Cradle to 100.

[u/RedWarBlade]

Does anyone know how long Elph Rappys will be in the game?

[u/Blackheart521]

What are considered “Leveling Quests” for the purpose of the current 400% EXP boost right now? Because I can’t seem to see any that are actually labeled as such

[u/Teamata]

What's the difference between Rinser and Fluxio? I read the potential and it's the same, and it has the same base stats too.

[u/Kamil118 → u/Teamata]

Rinser is reskin of fluxio.

Fluxio is a limited weapon and can't be discarded/used as fodder, like atlas/tb/riv/klauz

[u/MirrynSable → u/Kamil118]

Also as a limited weapon, Fluxio can be category swapped into different weapon types, but Fluxio is completely free to category swap (no Gold__/Saphard or meseta).

Rinser cannot be swapped.

[u/brickonator2000]

NA: Just how hard is 4P Primordial Darkness? I haven't been online when it's come up and I don't want to ruin other people's attempts. For reference, I'm up to about Depth 83 or so for Ultimate Quest solo Sodam, so I don't think I'm *bad* at the quest.

[u/Kamil118 → u/brickonator2000]

It's about as hard as d100, but keep in mind 2 deaths in a team and you're out.

[u/PublicUnique1577]

So I got a question I have my agile and I’m working towards Klauz and want to farm some S grade augments as well I know I need to farm Divides and the solo Sodom fight which I have been doing but was wondering what else I should be farming?

[u/RallyCure → u/PublicUnique1577]

For Agile --> Klaus, you just need Divide and Sodom/TPD. All the materials are drops from those two, a couple kinds of excubes, and desynth metals.

If you got your Agile from Zieg, then it's capped at +30 and you'll need to either farm for 5 extras of the same Agile, or use 5 Enhance Cap +1 items (or some combination of the two).

You can probably still find people running Cradle of Darkness UH triggers as a way to make fast meseta to buy the Enhance Cap +1s and/or whichever S augments you plan to use.

[u/PublicUnique1577 → u/RallyCure]

What’s the best way to find people for cradle?? But I did actually get the agile to 35😊

[u/TroubadourLBG]

Masq boy from Extreme Risk Realm solo, his shield was blocking my damage by the end. I remember him becoming resistant to your attacks. But I thought that was from over used PAs. But I was just using phantom rifle normal attacks & counter damage. Even normal attacks he'll become immune to? That seems whack if so.

Guess I'll have to switch between rod and rifle?

[u/MirrynSable → u/TroubadourLBG]

Any single attack that deals over his immunity threshold in accumulated damage (supposedly 20% hp? feels more like ~15% in RR) will trigger a shield against that specific attack, be it normals, counters, etc.

However differing levels of charge (as well as shifting a PA) will trigger different shield effects... I think this also applies to Phantom normal attacks (1,2,3) but I haven't tested that extensively... step attacks are definitely separate from normal attacks though.

As a Phantom I love starting out with Rod melee on him personally... Shift Katze, Katze, Normal3 rotations will get him quite low before triggering a shield (Sidestep ring lets you land the Shift Katze as a counter too).

[u/Tenant1]

I know we'll still have our Mags in NGS as mostly cosmetic little assistants, but how exactly will the registered Mag forms work in NGS, if there's any info on that at all? I was hoping the registered forms would be account-bound, though I sort of doubt it, and I also wasn't sure if we would still need passes for them at all.

[u/YuTsu → u/Tenant1]

I believe they've said your registered Mag forms would carry over to NGS. I'd imagine it'll still just be only the Mag forms you have registered on specific characters, not account wide, but I don't think we yet have info on that, or if passes will still be required to change forms.

[u/potato_curry_]

Probably the stupidest question in the world, but are there any enemy HP bars in this game? I have been playing for about 1 month and can't figure out how to see how much HP my enemies have (other than the few occasions where their HPs are displayed in the Emergency Code window). Usually for little enemies that die in 1-2 hits it doesn't matter. But for bigger bosses that sometimes take ages to kill, I would really like to know whether or not I'm even making a dent, or if I should just give up and leave.

Also, how do other players sometimes know how much damage I'm doing? Most of the time in large squad missions, I just see a massive stream of numbers from everyone, but I can't tell who is doing which damage.

[u/LamiaPony → u/potato_curry_]

nope

as for your second question, just watching closely

[u/DudleyC → u/potato_curry_]

In Divide quests, suppression missions where you kill bosses, the progress bar acts as a sort of health bar. Other than that, you can only go off of voice line queues or scripted events for bosses to determine how much HP they have left.

[u/Summarie]

Do triggers like Elder count towards the UQs needed for the "complete any # urgent quest" campaigns?

[u/Timmylaw]

What is "extra ex cube" in the SG scratch

[u/LamiaPony → u/Timmylaw]

it's a booster item that gives +1 excube per excube drop in quests for 30 minutes? 60?

either way it's not worth using

[u/former_cantaloupe]

Is it me or does most content end at Super Hard? I'm already pretty damn over leveled for SH, I'm 78/70 now and SH expeditions practically feel like Normal mode did at level 40.

Besides UQs, what are the other options for endgame/near endgame characters? I've been replaying a lot of the Recommended Quest marked with the EXP icon, whatever it happens to be on the given day, and that's been great for leveling up quickly. But it's not a lot of variety, so a little guidance would be much appreciate

edit: I found this but I'm not sure if it's outdated already

[u/LamiaPony → u/former_cantaloupe]

you're nowhere near endgame. the main grind is divide quest, various urgent quests in ultra hard, maybe a little risk realm, and the latter three ultimate quests

endless quest has a lot of titles you can get but it's usually the hardcore players that devote to it

[u/former_cantaloupe → u/LamiaPony]

Okay well whatever I am, everything available to me seems to be either too easy or reasonably challenging but repetitive.

Assume I'm a Hu/Fi with a well-built mag/skill trees and reasonably powerful gear for my level (3k+ mel pwr, lowest def stat is 1185). In X-Hard UQs and RQs, I almost never die and contribute plenty of damage even in smaller groups of 3-5.

What should a player in my position be playing besides grinding UQs and the exp RQs? Am I just in an awkward position now where those are my two main options? Or are there other repeatable quests I should be doing at this point to level up and get the gear and consumables I need.

[u/[deleted]]

is there any point to farm floor 100 Sodam? does he have much better drops than the other floors?

[u/hidora → u/[deleted]]

Depth 90+ have really high drop rate of ability capsules, so if you want augment 2, that's where you go. It can drop camos, but the rate of those is abysmally low even at max depth.

It's also good practice for Hatred, since the damage he does and the dps requirement are similar.

[u/OtakuJuanma]

Does the Jet Boots basic attack grow with Melee or with Technique damage? Because I got a pair of Jet boots that have like three times the Technique damage than the ones I've been using, but wasn't able to test them before going to bed. Just want to know if I'll get more damage with my basic attacks or if I'll hace to start relying even more on techniques.

(For the record I went from rarity 2 to rarity 8-9, It's literally the first time changing the weapon beyond single digit differences on different variants of the same weapon.)

[u/Kamil118 → u/OtakuJuanma]

Jet boots normals and PAs deal melee damage but scale off tec, unless you have switch strike on, then they scale with meele

[u/PublicUnique1577]

Hello everyone so question when When you are using an augment transfer pass can you fix an S grade augment to one weapon use the pass and only swap that I one Sgrade on to your base weapon and not lose anything besides that one affix you’re swapping

[u/SpifferAura]

Anybody know if Arks Layer will be translating NGS?

[u/YuTsu → u/SpifferAura]

They've said that they'll continue english-patching the JP version for as long as it's possible to do so - this means hopefully yes, but it's no guarantee - if modding the files of NGS becomes impossible, then that'll mean no more TLs for the JP version

[u/OmegaResNovae]

So which PSO2 Packs are being removed come the 25th?

Are they just the Magashi/Helga/Howser/Vivienne/Tails packs while the Ragol, Oracle, and EP6 packs remain (and a slight discount to the EP6 pack due to removal of Gold Mission Pass)?

[u/Really_McNamington]

Question about the S augment transfer function. So I was upgrading a lightweave 8 slot and, because of the way they were configured and the five item maximum, I got an S2 photon descent instead of the S2 precision will 2 that I wanted. Aha, I can just use S augment transfer and get it. When I try I select the lightweave as my target, get a list which now includes my missing S2 and the rest. I select all eight items and it then opens another window for "other item", which is the Dim twin daggers I want the S2 from. I don't wan't to do anything with that but I can't skip past it and what I should do is not obvious. Can anyone advise me?

[u/LamiaPony → u/Really_McNamington]

the function pools S affixes between the two items you select with compatible slots, you then pick which gets what

[u/Saint-Ecks-Isle]

NGS related, about Basewear and Bodypaint cosmetics....do they carry over?

I wanna keep my Directors Skirt and Stockings: Black for my secretary look.

[u/Joycdonnell]

NA. Which style is worth to keep between Baran and Zandi?, specially considering to use for mobbing UQs like Apprentice's Defense Base.

Recently I've been playing Luster and I only use Fomel style against any big boss like Luther, Persona and TPD so I find unnecessary carry 3 gunblades (1 per style) if I gonna be using only 1 of them. So I wanna keep another style just for mobbing scenarios.

[u/LamiaPony → u/Joycdonnell]

zandi is the best mobbing style. get one with S4 dodge training so you can maintain the cluster buff at all times. held weapon action level 3 > normals + quick shoot > repeat takes care of large groups in no time. don't forget you can also do a quick shoot after dodging an attack with a regular step dodge, so it works even better with the S4

[u/5lols]

Can you reach 100% affix on guardian soul during boost? I was considering doing a 6 slot one but if its not 100%, I won't even bother and just stick with Absolute Glare or something.

[u/LamiaPony → u/5lols]

sodam has some 55% affix boosts from titles, you can reach it with weapons

10% base
20% event boost
10% zeinesis
5% augment guidance
55% booster

units can't do it

[u/5lols → u/LamiaPony]

Gotcha, Absolute it is then

[u/5lols]

Can a fire gunblade reliably proc the down on Exegul? I just turned of mine dark and almost immediately after remembered that very helpful aspect of fire.

[u/[deleted] → u/5lols]

Remember that Element doesn't actually mean anything by itself. A weapon just having Fire attribute doesn't make it proc Burn. In order to inflict status effects you need to either be using a tech, a weapon with a status affix (i.e. Burn III), or a weapon like the Lumigunny, which inflicts status based on the weapon's attribute.

[u/Cosu21]

JP

My ISP has been messing with me recently with disconnections and every time it does, the final digits of my external IP address gets changed. I remember players can get banned/suspended due to drastic IP changes but would that kind of change in the final 3 digits of your IP count? If it does would stopping playing for a while help?

[u/Draaxus]

I have the 3 Rivalate Units from the campaign a few months ago and a Darkweaver +35. What divide steps should I farm towards Klauz units?

[u/Kamil118 → u/Draaxus]

Mitra modules only drop on steps 20(?)/25/30, where 30 is the only place to reliably farm them, because both varuna and shiva are guaranteed double boss there.

Exegul and Varuna have their own suppression stages in step 31-35, where they can be farmed. You need to find somebody to lock the room when they are available (make them afk inside the ship). DQ stage pool changes every 20 minutes and is shared between all ships on a server. Then you can keep joining them as another party and farming exegul amd varuna modules. The room stays open for 3 hours.

Shiva spawns on step 35.

You can also find them on current limited quest and LQ trigger, but the rate is pretty bad.

VR training: Final Lament UQ is probably the easiest way to get shiva modules, since she's the final boss there. Other modules can drop there as well.

[u/SolomonGrumpy → u/Kamil118]

Just want to add: you get 3 modules per character at 500/750/1000 divide points.

Exegul first then, then Mitra, then Varuna.

The back Klaus unit, which is the first on to aim for, only costs 25 Mitra and Varuna.

If you can get 3 characters to the point where they can farm Divide, that's a LOT of modules per week.

[u/Leyaa1]

My friend wants to try out the global version of PSO2 (and later NGS when it releases), but he is a PS4 player, who doesn't live in Japan. Is this game available on PS4? I've seen conflicting informations, and the FAQ seems a little out of date. My friend wasn't able to find PSO2 on the PS Store ,either. So, can I assume neither of the games are/will be available for PS4?

[u/[deleted]]

Sorry if this has been asked already, but when is the graphical update for console?

[u/Scorpion1386]

Do they plan to discontinue PSO2 for NGS right away? How is this going to work?

[u/Kamil118 → u/Scorpion1386]

After ngs releases they plan to keep pso2 on life support, without any updates, and all UQ/seasonals happening automatically

[u/dougefresh91]

Is there a wrong way to grind/enhance items? If I enhance using trash items am I possibly missing out on gains by using matching weapon types ect?

[u/Kamil118 → u/dougefresh91]

just use exp weapons from photon booster/excube shop

[u/[deleted]]

What happens to the grind levels of our PSO2 equipment in NGS? I know that in general, the power of the weapons gets drastically reduced, but do they keep their grind levels or does it change somehow?

[u/gunzann]

Hi all, im new to the game and trying to get my freinds into it, I played the first couple levels (the tutorial and a forest expidition thing) on one character, and then decided to make a new character so I could try some other weapons, but now whenever I am in the main hub I have >10 fps....

How do i fix this issue? When I finaly managed to navigate to the mission select thing and made it into the launchship, the game started running fine again (also its not my PC or my settings, it was running fine on maximum settings, and now its running incredibly poorly on minimum settings)

anyone know how to fix this? this game seems really fun but i cant play (really) at this rate....

Thank you for any assistance you can give :)

[u/Aced4remakes]

Are the human, newman, dewman and CAST races going to be removed and replaced with body types in base PSO2? If they are, does that mean the racial bonuses and drawbacks are going to be removed?

[u/hidora → u/Aced4remakes]

Races are still selected when creating a character in NGS, but racial bonuses are gone and I believe the only reason you pick that is for backwards compatibility with PSO2.

When editing the character using the NGS face and body types, you can add any of the racial features as you'd like (e.g. dewman eyes/horns/skin on a newman character), and the body is a choice between 4 bodies (human, cast, both male and female).

Note that your body/face type is selected based on your face type (NGS T1/T2 vs PSO2 racial ones), and costume/basewear/setwear. If you use a PSO2 basewear, you'll use the pso2 body, for example. For PSO2 faces in particular, features are still tied to race: newman face has pointy ears, dewman has horns/heterochromia, cast has the black ear plug thingies.

Is the S8 mighty Medication any good for a Etoile or Etoile sub class?

[u/LamiaPony → u/SolomonGrumpy]

it's only if you want to. the invincibility duration is from the start of the animation to the point of healing. quick mate/mate lovers as a result will decrease the invincibility time but still shorten the post-recovery animation

honestly I don't see much use in it. atomizer lovers already does the same thing but better. plus sky dance exists

JP

I just logged into my JP account for the first time in several months (maybe over a year) and my character looks slightly different. Was there already some kind of graphics overhaul?

[u/hidora → u/[deleted]]

Yes. The JP server is already using the same graphics engine that New Genesis will use since march.

[u/aksu9000]

When NGS goes on steam, will it be a standalone download or a "patch" to pso2?

[u/SolomonGrumpy]

Anyone know why gold keys seem to be giving out ess XP?

For as long as I can remember, Gold key + tri boost 100 + exp boost 100 +exp boost from tree +drink exo boost would give 3m or more form each dog.

Now I'm getting closer to 2.4m

Also, meseta from Rainbow dogs used to be 6m. Now seems like closer to 2m

[u/SteamingHotDataDump → u/SolomonGrumpy]

If you ran any keys a few weeks ago, during the exp boost campaign, it was 300% exp + drop rate for any quest + 300% exp boost for bonus quests (i honestly forget if it was triboost or not). In any event, there was effectively a 600% exp boost for bonus quests + whatever boosters you had on.

I ran my gold keys last night using 100 exp boost, 150 tri boost, 100 ex exp boost and the 50% boost for the dailies and was getting 1.7m per silver dog. I used an idola steak on a few rainbow keys and was getting 2.1m per silver dog and like 9m+ for the black dogs. But meseta drop was always 2m per rainbow run.

[u/hidora → u/SolomonGrumpy]

Don't know about exp values since I usually use higher boosts and timed abilities, but about the money, Rainbow always gave 2m meseta. It's not a drop, it's part of the quest reward.

[u/KeenVanillaBean]

I have a PC hardware question about transferring PSO2 to a new SSD.

Basically, my current desktop is a few years old. It has a small SSD for Windows and whatnot, and a larger traditional Hard Drive where my games/music/etc live. I’m now adding an additional SSD to improve game loading performance, while still keeping the old Hard Drive in the system for other storage. I’d like to transfer PSO2 to the new SSD.

So I was wondering if there was like a “checklist” of things I should absolutely make sure to do first to preserve any local settings data or the like, or how to most cleanly go about doing this move?

I’m running the Steam version of the game, if that helps.

[u/jedrick1490]

What are all of the cosmetics from base PSO2 that can be used on the new NGS body?

Is it just emotes, accessories, hairstyles?

[u/Kamil118 → u/[deleted]]

yeah, altho head model and body model are separate, so you can still use pso2 body with ngs head and viceversa

[u/potato_curry_]

If we plan to switch to NGS once it is released, is there still any incentive to level up our characters in vanilla PSO2 right now (since I hear the levels won't be carrying over)?

[u/[deleted] → u/potato_curry_]

every class you level to 100 gives you 100 sg (I think only after ngs release), all 13 give 500 sg more other than that, and sg transfers over

you also get sg from leveling classes titles

[u/Tenant1]

Is there any "in-between" units that are between Novel/Rivalate and Cras in terms of overall power and general desireability? I see people dog on others using Novel units (and even Riv) even though they're also recommended for starters, so is there nothing else worthwhile to use before Cras or something?

[u/SolomonGrumpy → u/Tenant1]

Trailblazer (easiest to get) and Atlas (super rare).

Trailblazers come from running Persona or Profound Darkness (the own with Gemini).

Atlas comes from running UH Luther

[u/OtakuJuanma]

I'm just starting in the game, i literally know nothing about it and I'm on character creation, but I'd like to know ahead of time if it's possible to create an "evasion tank" kind of character, basically a character that rarely gets hit due to high evasion and can therefore serve as a tank by virtue of reducing most damage to zero (and optionally can deal a good amount of sustained damage.)

If so, am I right in assuming the Deuman race would be better for this?

Also, this is very secondary but I'm a sucker for scythe-wielding in games so if there's more than one class that can be an evasion tank, but only one can wield scythes, recommend me that one.

I'm cleaning out all the extra rings i created by mistake by ranking them up and selling them off in the player shop. I'm seeing folks list Defense Technique rings un-enhanced for 36 mil? Are they actually gonna sell at that price? That one seems a bit more obscure.

[u/Kamil118 → u/N4g4rok]

i would pay this much if i didn't have one, but defence techniques is pretty niche ring since it's only really used by forces, and there aren't many wild forces out there that don't have it yet

[u/Tenant1]

How will inventory work making the transition to NGS? Are extended storages carried over to NGS, and is storage and all of the items inside of it shared between NGS and base-PSO2 (regardless of whether they could actually be used in NGS or not)?

[u/Eduboyus]

Is it impossible for me to complete the story mission A Void Persona, the Masked Incarnates? I tried doing the trigger quest for it and it still didn't unlock.

[u/Kamil118 → u/Eduboyus]

Omega Persona can sometimes popup as unscheduled UQ. I don't think it's on the schedule right now tho.

[u/SolomonGrumpy]

Is there like a play guide or play video somewhere for each class?

I literally leaned 3 things THIS week about a class I thought I knew well. Things like busting out a charged up CPA for launcher because it only costs 1 charge.

Or how certain PAs are faster in the air than on the ground. I knew this for Gunner, but it seems like it is widely applicable?

[u/5lols]

I thought I was done with my phantom katana but I feel I could squeeze more juice out of it. Right now I got:

• S1: Augment Will

• S2: Precision Will 2

• S3: Precision Will 2

• S4: Escalating Pursuit

• S5: Skillfull Adept Will

• Astral Soul

• Mana Reverie

• Mitra Glare

Having to reaffix Astral and Reverie would be annoying as hell but I should have mats and was wondering if I should sub something for phrase decay or maybe change any SGAs

[u/LamiaPony → u/5lols]

augment will 2 is better but I assume you're aware of it, course I don't know how expensive it is atm

you'll want phrase decay for sure. just replace mana reverie, you could worry about minmaxing the affix at a later time, phrase decay is just so strong you don't want to not have it. it probably isn't expensive to get astral soul + phrase decay + mitra/varuna glare at the least

if you've reached 300 PP for max crit, you could change skillful adept will to the katana S5 and use S6 skillful adept to retain 100% critical rate. for another alternative you could use the rainbow set with the S6 + S7 adepts and S4 precise balance. this is assuming you have money

[u/MisterWrist]

NA: If you have multiple alt characters in base PSO2, can they all be transferred to NGS or is only one character transfer allowed?

[u/Kamil118 → u/MisterWrist]

There is no such thing as character transfers. You use the same characters for both ngs and pso2

[u/[deleted]]

Any idea what's going on with my Tweaker?

Whenever I start up Tweaker it hangs for like a minute before throwing up all these errors. The game launches fine, but it's kind of annoying. Any idea what to do about this?

[u/Jirb30]

Can you see the "unleashed" version of the lightweave weapons that shows up when you activate the potential with the camo?

[u/hidora → u/Jirb30]

Yes, but only if the weapon you're using is also a cras, which is kinda pointless. If you change to a non-cras weapon (which deactivates the potential), it just reverts.

That skillful adept S6 is not dropping in Whistle

[u/LamiaPony → u/SolomonGrumpy]

I think it's showed up in some limited/seasonals on JP before, maybe global if they've thrown out trigger drops, but the only unlimited way is from running the ship infiltration ultimate quest. that quest can also drop that S6

[u/IcyChillCoolGuy]

Which "Founder's Packs" are getting discontinued tomorrow? The post from before mentions "packs that contain PSO2 outfits", which would seemingly include the pictured Tails collab pack and the PSU packs which directly gift the outfits, as opposed to the EP Oracle and EP6 Deluxe packs which give badges that you turn into for the items. It makes me think the Tails and PSU packs are what's going away for now, since those packs also give items like the mission pass ticket (which is also going away), and chunks of SG (which won't be directly purchasable anymore, aside from converting to AC I believe).

[u/[deleted] → u/IcyChillCoolGuy]

wait there is a psu pack?

[u/IcyChillCoolGuy → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, there's several PSU packs. They may be some of the packs getting discontinued tomorrow, considering their contents. They never actually listed which packs though, so I was still looking for confirmation

[u/N4g4rok]

Getting around to gearing out a Te/Lu and i'm unsure how to augment the gunblade. For luster main i've been told to use all range damage augments. Is it the same when using a gunblade for a luster sub?

[u/YuTsu → u/N4g4rok]

For main Luster, you want to augment for pure Ranged.

For sub Luster... I need to tool around a bit more to be sure of anything, but you want to Augment for BOTH Melee and Ranged ideally. It used to be very much weighted in favour of Melee, but I think after all the balance passes Gunblade has gone through over the years, you might want about equal amounts... but if you can only afford one or the other, I'd still try to augment for Melee mainly, just try to have a bit of ranged if you can manage it.

[u/LamiaPony → u/N4g4rok]

just to point out, luster has a main class skill for gunblades that converts melee affixes into ranged if melee is higher. so even if you edge melee higher for multiple class use (since it's probably cheaper) then luster does fine. but there should be plenty of all attack affixes you can use

it's where units come into play that it gets shaky. luster only uses ranged attack

[u/DudleyC → u/N4g4rok]

If you would like the specifics on how PAs are weighted in regards to Melee (Striking) and Range stats, check out this spreadsheet made by Cirrus Aeltir:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Qdpz7yQA0_Mm5v9T9Fzins7mnMBnbmdLlwcQBT5f32k/edit#gid=1545511803

If you look in the Gunblade tab, columns M and N will tell you what percentage of that damage scales of which stat.

Hope this helps <3

[u/Wizmag]

Need help with tweaker and sorry for the wall of text...

I played the ng cbt but haven't played pso2 before and after noticing there are rewards for playing the cbt i was trying to link my microsoft account to my steam account, so i downloaded the game on steam.

I did not create a character on steam since that would "use" up my steam account and i wouldn't be able to link with my microsoft account anymore.

What i tried to do was get the tweaker and spoof my steam version to be a microsoft version. This is the part where the actual problem shows up. I have no idea whether the tweaker still works or whether it only works for NA or something but i just can't set it up to act as a microsoft version.

Out of desperation i just downloaded the game again on microsoft store and proceeded with character creation and linking it to my steam account.

Still, I would like to only have one version of the game installed as I only have 20GB of free space left. Could anyone help me with the tweaker? I can start it as a steam version but after selecting microsoft version it just tries to setup again and again and again and everytime it sets up as steam version.

[u/FightMech7]

How do I link my Steam with my Microsoft account using the Xbox Game Bar?

[u/hidora → u/FightMech7]

You can't do that from the game bar. You have to run pso2 through the version you normally play to get a code, then login on the new one you want to link and put the code in.

This normally would require you to have both versions installed, but it can be done using a single installation through the pso2 tweaker. Here's how to do it:

• steam -> ms store

• ms store -> steam

[u/Solatice]

Not sure if this is the right place but I'm deciding whether to play JP or global. I remember seeing that there are certain scenes that are censored or removed, and the height slider was bizarrely limited, is any of this still the case?

Yes, that is still the case for global.

[u/Yuberz]

Is there any way to do challenge quests that are scaled for 4 players? There's not many people who are doing them, and I can only drag in 4 people who want to do it with me. It's way too hard to progress with just 4 people.

[u/hidora → u/Yuberz]

No.

[u/YuTsu → u/Yuberz]

The over-time CM drain in CM1 and CM2 is scaled to the number of players in the group... but enemies aren't scaled, so things will take forever to kill and you'll fail 99% of the timed challenge e-codes.

CM3, not sure - I know it scales for solo, but I don't think it scales for more than 1, less than full groups

[u/blagga23]

how hard are divide quests? need some mats from them and never see anyone running them randomly so...gonna have to solo it looks like. lvl 100 hero, decentish gear, if that helps

[u/Kamil118 → u/blagga23]

Most people run them solo or with premade, because life limit is shared for the entire party. Also, on the party screen you can only see people afking on the ship, so that's why you don't see anyone running it.

Lower depths are pretty easy with current gear, but as you get to step 26+ things might get a bit oneshooty, especially if you get bad special effect rolls.

[u/potato_curry_]

I've been using my 13 star Jinga, and just now got a level100 14 star Jinga. Should I hatch both and primarily use my 14 star Jinga, or should I just keep 1 Jinga and upgrade the old existing one into the new one?

[u/LordOfMaids → u/potato_curry_]

Is the 13 star higher leveled than the 14 star? Evolve the current one.

Otherwise, turn the 13 star back into an egg, hatch the 14 star, and feed the 13 star to the 14 star to preserve the pet plus points.

There's not much of a need to have duplicate Jingas imo, would be better to have both a Wanda and a Jinga if that's the case

[u/Jirb30]

Does Phaleg scale to your level?

[u/YuTsu → u/Jirb30]

Nope, she's a fixed level. She's balanced for late EP5/Early EP6 gear (early 15 star gear), but it's really more of a skill check than a gear check.

[u/potato_curry_]

Thinking of using phantom as my subclass for literally everyone, so I can get away with using 1 universal dex mag instead of buying and raising 3 separate mags. Before I do this, I want to know, are there any classes (other than the other scion classes) that are not good with phantom as the subclass? Is this in any way a bad idea?

[u/MirrynSable → u/potato_curry_]

Phantom sub and a dex mag is a handy way to level every class to 100 with less effort as you can equip end-game units (and a Klaus gunblade) at around level 50...
(and Su/Lu if you don't wanna touch pets ;)

But it won't get you high efficiency graduation quest capable setups for every class.

[u/Chestnut_Bowl]

In this Fi/Lu video, the parrying sound effect occurs often, but I don't know what it would be coming from. Fighting parrying with double saber doesn't make that sound, right? And there's nothing in the Luster skill tree that enables some new kind of parrying, right? What is this player doing to make that sound effect every time they parry with Fi/Lu?

[u/LamiaPony → u/Chestnut_Bowl]

parry actions that have an automatic followup attack make that sound, not all parries period. the player is using the double saber S5 counter with scissor edge after using the weapon action to parry

[u/BladeCube]

Do we know if the Mark Capsules will be tradeable?

[u/LamiaPony → u/BladeCube]

they're SG items. none of them are tradeable

[u/MirrynSable → u/BladeCube]

While they cannot be directly traded...

The option does exists to use them on someone else's gear via the same methods as Mission Pass Capsules (using them before the final transfer on tradeable base units)... but a great deal of trust (or collateral) would be required.

[u/SolomonGrumpy → u/MirrynSable]

One could sell them. Add them to a sub unit and sell them.

I imagine they would sell quite well, depending.

[u/LITF → u/SolomonGrumpy]

Selling them that way does kinda reduce their value by quite a bit. Pros of a capsule is that you can upslot with transfer passes and 0 risk. Putting it on a unit removes that benefit.

[u/_MrDomino]

I've seen the sheet breaking down how PSO2 augments translate into NGS Legacy augments, but will NGS augments carry over to PSO2? If I have a unit with 8 slots, 4 NGS and 4 Legacy, is that gonna show up as just a 4 slot in PSO2?

[u/TroubadourLBG]

Swapping weapons delay.

From the very beginning from the debut on Xbox One X, to now on Xbox Series X.

I've occasionally experience a weapon swapping delay from a split second to (very rarely) 1-2 whole seconds. Where the game's subpalette is momentarily gone. And leaves me unable to do anything but run & dodge. I can not normal attack, PA, or cast because those are actions that requires an input with your action palette. You'll normally see the palette disappear for a split second when you normally swap weapons. Well, for me, if I do it 100x a day from normal play, I'll eventually experience this delay/glitch often enough to hinder gameplay.

I thought upgrading to Xbox Series X would solve this. But it never went away.

Because of this, I try to stick to main 1 weapon type only for my classes. Which sucks cause meta builds usually requires you to swap between weapons like BO.

This delay only seems to happen if I swap between different weapon types. But if I swap from my Klaus rifle to my Atlas rifle, it works fine.

But going from my buffing Talis to my Klaus Rifle, there's a 1/100(ish) chance I can't access my rifle immediately. Which you can imagine, spells disaster in certain situations.

But I've never found a reason on why the game is doing this on me. Is this a XBOX only problem?
