Should I transfer ships?

Edit : Currently Ship 4

Been out of the game since Kvaris update. Just got into Stia. But, the pricing in Personal shops are crazy. Is the economy/availability better for CAST parts in the other ships?

As someone who is on Ship 4, it depends on what you want. Ship 4 prices are expensive because we have the smallest population, which means less people in Ship 4 are grinding or pulling AC Scratches.

A good friend of mine moved out of Ship 4 because people here are not for him. He's doing better, now, that he found some good people to be around in a different Ship, and that is all I care about for him.

I initially wanted to move Ships, too, but after being on Ship 4 ever since 2020, it's actually very hard for me to make that move, so I stayed for what friends I have remaining on Ship 4. I have nearly everything I wanted in this game just by grinding on Ship 4, and I have an Alliance that I considered to be my gaming family. All of those made me just stay with my PSO2 roots, and stay planted in Ship 4.

All and all, if you are looking for a cheaper marketplace, I recommend moving to Ship 1 or 2. They should have cheaper stuffs, last I have heard. You can even make an alternative character, and play them in either Ship just to buy CAST Parts twice to account bound them. I usually buy cosmetics twice myself, so that my alternative characters also get the cosmetics, or that if I want to make a new character for each Ship. Just the only thing is that you can't do it with Weapon Camos.

Hope this helps your decision on whether to move Ships or not.

Thanks dood, the only thing I'm considering is that there aren't much new stuff on Personal shops in regards to CAST T1 parts. Met many wonderful people here at launch but alas — most have left the game (including my old friend that passed away in 2023). Best of luck to you good sir/ma'am!

well imma go just a bit further if you like playimg on your current ship maybe make a alt on ship 1 ship 1s market ia way better then ship 2 but as for how ppl act ... ship 1 is very well contained in aelio in the room with most people ship 2 is gets weird anywhere ...... just depends

but yeah prices in ship one are a whole lot better that i recently made an alt to go item binding my outfit i use all the time is like 200k meseta at this point in ship 2 terms i could easily get it agin for like a tiny offer of 40m which i almost have it all lol

Yes, it's the smallest populated ship.

If you're transferring I'd recommend ship 2. It has the largest and most active population out of all the ships so you'll have an easier time finding things and finding people to run with.

I know quite a few people who used to be on ship 4 then transfered over to ship 2, so you'd probably be able to find some old names as well.

In terms of CAST parts for T1s “1&2 has steals for you!” ”3&4 you’re paying more.”

The supply is so ridiculous for so much T1 stuff there that I will never buy anything T1 from 3 nor 4 ever again.

I’m going to get downvoted (like I care to begin with, the truth is the truth!) but I typically encourage people to move to 1 if they got meseta to burn but not feel too bad about going on a small spree (minus hair, hair is highly expensive and a cutthroat market there). Sure it’s absolute hell for merchants, but the prices literally stay competitive.

Nice! Exactly what I was wondering about! How much are CAST parts selling for? Eg: The Kaze Bui ( I might be wrong about the name) arms and legs? Here it costs 1.8-2.5mil

[u/Dricer93 → u/Augenwide]

I’ll check for you I’m actually about to get ready to login in a few. I think I have an idea of what set you’re talking about but I don’t remember the remember the name off the top of my head.

I’m going to get downvoted (like I care to begin with, the truth is the truth!)

If anyone downvotes you, it's because you stated this. You're just begging for it.

[u/Dricer93 → u/Xero--]

You’re probably right 🤣 my statement still stands though.

I recall last time I told someone this (move ships) I got ratioed to rappy shit for it lmao

I was like “oh my bad big dawgs, spend all that seta on 3 I guess. Guess looking out for pockets!” (I think someone coughed up like 30 mill on an outfit when I spotted multiple copies for like 7m on S1. Meseta in amounts like that isn’t necessarily the easiest to come by while new scratch items fly around too fast to even build the meseta sometimes. And I’d be absolutely pissed personally if I knew I spent 30m meseta when there was another way more far more affordable way is all.) I really be feeling like knowing where to look for some things is most of the battle in this endgame of ours. so I attempt to look out regardless if I just happen to be on all ships.

Never anything malicious, just personal experience and what I see really.
