One more thing to keep in mind: probably stick to Lv10 or below disks for mag food, since 11+ are dismantleable and that’s generally more useful.

I have a personal shop pass but no idea what I can sell effectively.

If you're not grinding out tech crafting levels then all those tech fragments from dismantling/dailies is easy money. Decent, high augment units are worth a bunch, too.

My "is this worth selling" breakpoint is around 15k minimum, which tends to include:

10* weapons with an enhancement of 2+
12* weapons
Some pa/tech discs
Tech fragments
Summoner Eggs
Brissa/Saiki units

Cosmetics and furniture from FUN scratch are a crapshoot, but sometimes you get lucky.

Brissa/Saiki even with Ray being so easy to get due to plentiful, plentiful RWB3s?

I am engaging in the tech crafting grind, though. When you say "decent high-augment units" is this just "has a high number of augments" or "is a good unit on its own AND has a high number of augments?"

High augment count, with good augments. Upslotting is very hard, but affixing doesn't care about weapon rarity or power.

They're not worth millions or anything, but were still worth 20kish (at least for the crappy ones I've found). Even if it's gotten easier to get Ray units, they're still nice to use when you're leveling another class and don't have the stats for Ray.

Better but I don't know if it's worth driving yourself insane over if you can't do it. Without L ring slotting honestly Ray units are kinda crap. I'd wear brissa for now.

Units with 3+ slots and a good augment sell for pretty decent amounts. Something as simple as a 3x slot unit with Might III can sell for a pretty decent amount.

It's super unforgiving, you can only get hit twice and there's some special modifier on that fight that makes healing really weak.

It's definitely endgamey stuff. I got kind of close fighting it as Ra/Hu just now without knowing all the stuff to dodge since I'm not used to having to watch out for everything, ran out of mates and atomizers. Bet it'd be doable as Fo/Te thanks to healing techs.

I got through it thanks to Fighter's Iron Will and Auto-Mate.

Auto-Mate saved me from being owned repeatedly by the final stage's stunlock, and I think I failed the DPS check, too.

Still, doable as Br/Hu at the level cap.

As others noted unit rarity doesn't matter for affixing so anything that's either 5+ augments, no matter how poo poo, or a 3+ with a single good augment are worth a solid amount. The real money though is a 5+ with 2+ good augment unit. Unit augmenting is nuts expensive for anything really good.

Although laughably global already has affix transfer passes which I guess answered my question of when the hell we're getting all the other pso2es affixes. No need for them when you can just smash affix insurance for the big poo poo and then transfer it away eventually I suppose. Though having the receptors would certainly make cooking easier.

Well, it looks like I'm not good enough to do the solo UQ. I'm guessing that means this is the end of the line for me since that's locking me out of upgrades.

The union upgrades aren't even the current best in slot units. This buffed PD, both solo and standard, drops Ophistia units, which blow pretty much everything out of the water until the units from the final boss of EP5, which are only slightly better.

Solo content in this game is almost always meant for people who've played for several hundreds (if not thousands/tens of thousands) of hours and have decked out endgame gear. Don't feel too bad if you're relatively new and can't get it down yet.

Are your affixes, rings, skill points and discs in order? What class are you playing?

There is always more power to be had, and it doesnt have to come from an emergency.

IIRC Ophistia is only worth it once you have two for the set bonus and the legs were not great or something.

It is a very nice set bonus though.

Yeah, the rear and arm together make what is one of the best sets you can get for quite some time. The leg just has a set bonus with the weapon, which we aren't going to get until the end of EP5, and even then it isn't very good, so yeah you'd want something else for the leg slot.

Yeah the upgraded Ray units (Circunion iirc) aren't a huge deal. They add +25 HP over Circuray and some very minor defense boosts.
Also, it takes five union boosters to upgrade a unit, which can take anywhere from 2 to 3 (to 5 if you're struggling) solo-fights.

Thing is, I get the sinking feeling that I'm going to have three full sets of Circunions before I ever get those drat Ophistia arms (I got the back unit ages ago after an unannounced PD battle).

Hu/Fi (Fury Stance + Automate) at 80/80 with +35 Nemesis (also have a +35 Raven), +10 Ray Units, maxed Hunter Focus Preservation and Perfectionist Melee rings, all PAs at max level.

The only immediately obvious options are: 1) grind out the extra 5 skill points for Fighter 2) work on the affixes for my gear (the Rays are stock and the Nemesis doesn't have anything amazing).

I know it's not the end of the world (I think most of the people in my Alliance also failed the fight, though on much later stages) but it was still kind of demoralizing to hit a point where it was clear that my skills are lacking AND it blocks a path for upgrades that might make up the difference.

Evening, patrolmaaan.
At the rate they’re updating the game, it won’t be long until the Ray/Union series are powercrept anyway so it really doesn’t matter if you can’t clear solo Profound Darkness.

Plus if you wait the fight will be easier when they increase the level cap and better weapons get added.

Nobody wants to die except the suicides. They're no fun.
Solo PD doesn't seem that bad to me, oddly. 80/80 Bo/Hu with straight from the badge shop Ray units and a +35 Nem boots that I haven't looked into affixing at all. I'm not as good at the Gemini portion and those clown cars loving suck, plus my timing is real bad so I keep missing jetsweep kicks on the big guy. Still I can comfortably beat him in around 13 minutes.

I'll probably need to do some affixing or something to S-rank it because I have no idea how I make up over a minute with what I have. Also I only started playing with the MS store release so I don't have years of experience on the JP servers or anything.

Solo PD wasn't too bad as Fo/Te. Just tons of dodging and Ilgrants spam whenever there was an opening. The dps check is just saving up compounds and isn't an issue. Ilzonde to get away from the cars and reposition quickly is probably the biggest boon for the first phase.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So I've not played PSO since the first one way back on the Dreamcast but I thought it was great even if the level variety was a bit limited.

Does PSO2 give you the exact same vibes/gameplay but just more of it. Or has the gameplay been hugely revamped too?
