Yeah that's what it was, thanks!

Also, does anyone know what that musical transition means when all the melody of the music in the level cuts out and it does this one percussive loop that's matched to the BPM instead? It's the same loop and it plays in any level of the game. I'd think it would mean something like low HP or party member dead or something but sometimes it plays when everything seems fine.

Yeah that's definitely the 'danger' track but it has (and always has) a habit of playing a few bars for no reason, I tend to notice it most on zone transitions.

Okay, I have a very brief, dumb question that I still feel I have to ask because it feels SO terrible.

Can I really only get a Color-Change Ticket on the NA server by spending AC? All I wanna do is change the colors of my CAST's highlights to be a bit more standout, I can ONLY spend real money to get that?

You can buy AC scratch items off of the player shop (including recycle badges, which are stackable) to trade in for them. There's also one in the mission pass every season, iirc.

I want to make sure I'm understanding mags correctly. I want to play Etoile when it comes to NA, and I have a fighter now with a melee mag. That will be fine for Etoile right?

Also what episodes did the various successor classes get added in? It was weirdly hard for me to Google. The PSO Facebook put this up yesterday


A friend of mine wants to play the Hero class so I was trying to figure out when that will be added. Etoile it looked like was episode 6?

Etoile converts any attack stat on a mag into all attack stats, so the only mag that doesn't work for them is a dex mag (or a defense mag, but that doesn't work for any class).

Hero was EP5, Phantom was EP6, and Etoile was about halfway through EP6. So we probably won't get Et until some time early next year.

You're gonna need to get two classes up to max level to use the successor classes too, you won't be able to just drop in on e5 and play hero first thing.

I'm really looking forward to e5, It's basically all new to me, and I'm still spotty on some e4 stuff as well. It's convenient that they're starting the content drip more or less around the same time I checked out on JP :v:

The mission pass isn't the most doable thing either, since I actually can't buy AC to convert into star gems, but it's eventually attainable at least. And it gives me time to find a weapon to match my highlights to.

SG is easily attainable by the secret technique known as clothes laundering. Simply buy a cheap bodypart/outerwear/outfit from the player shops that still has the SG icon on it, wear it for about 22 hours, remove the SG and then resell the outfit if you have a shop pass or just burn it if you don't and can't spare the storage space to resell it when you do have a pass. With two alts this gets you an easy 30 SG per day without too much effort involved.

This is how I plan to keep my material storage going. The lowest price for SG clothes seems to be a little over 100k (closer to 105k). That's about 3.15 million meseta for the storage which sounds like a lot, but you get 1 million meseta per week from the weekly ARKS mission alone on top of all the dailies.

keep in mind you can also mulch the outfits afterwards for recycle badges for easy reselling, since those things pretty much always sell. you won't get all of your money back unless you snipe things below going market rate but it's something.

Oh, that's a good tip. Saves massively on inventory space while still letting you sell them later if you don't have a shop pass at the moment.

I believe that is exactly the case, yes. Also when you complete it, it should raise your level by +1. So really, you can pay to take the shortcut or do it the long way.

I figured out my Magatsu problem. I was trying to do it on hardcore. Out of frustration I bumped it down to casual to see if it was different and I destroyed that rear end in a top hat in about 30 seconds. I wasn't aware the difficulty bump was that big.

If you S-Rank the story missions on hardcore difficulty, you get titles that have a SG reward attached to them.

Steady Shot rules, Positron Cannon rules, Satellite Cannon rules, Spread Shot rules, the mobility skills are good for moving around. Positron Cannon and Satellite Cannon are your go-to "super big hits" abilities, and spreadshot is good for quick-big-hits. Steady Shot can be JA'd and is basically a heavily upgraded basic attack, good for just firing somewhat randomly.

Launcher just plain rules and everything it does is pretty much on the same level of kill-a-bility, the abilities are basically just "pick which ones fit your playstyle". Rocket Rodeo is #1 best skill forever.

Not in one convenient spot, but you can go to the pso2 site and dig through posts to look for the FUN scratch posts. The discs are listed at the bottom. There are some music discs that are acquired by trading ragol memories from the ragol fashion pack ($30) too but they cannot be sold/purchased on the market.

Here's a nice Sword Hunter guide. The Photon Arts section has a pretty detailed explanation of every Sword photon art and the mechanics section will teach you some tricks Hunters have besides run up and hit the enemy.

Is this not in NA? I hit 75 on Fighter and got the class boost for the title, but there wasn't anything else.

To that ennd, what should I do for gear at 75? I have what I think is a decent-ish weapon "Deo Felinaught +30" - Twinsaber with 778 power, but I imagine my units are a bit lacking (still using sub/weapon barriers)

Yes, they're 12 star and have the added 'benefit' of requiring DEX so they can be easier to equip pending your subclass levels and such. They're kind of transitional though, and you'll want to figure out the 13 star stuff to buy/grind.

Deo are 10 star and nox are 12 star, I think

If you're not picky about what you're getting beyond "a 12 star" you can probably get one off the player market, Nox assault rifles are about 230kish on the low end

A summoner guide I'm reading says that you need two classes at 75 to get Stella Walls. I don't have two classes at 75 so I cannot confirm but I'm guessing these are the units you're talking about.

Okay yeah, nox is gonna be an upgrade I just need to grind it a bit. But I think you're mixing up the DEX req with the weapons that trade for "Unique Weapon Badge" rather then the "Rising Weapon Badge" which is for Nox?
