Cofy in particular unlocks a ton of features, like subclassing and your mag. Careful using skill points until you find a decent guide, skill trees can't be reset easily/cheaply.

You can also get them by buying the Ragol Fashion Pack and exchanging one black ARKS badge for it, but considering it is tradable, you're better off getting it with meseta if you can.

Yes please Hit 100 on my Braver and Ranger, used tickets to get Hunter and Etoile up high enough to equip decent gear and the game's been barfing out lots of bonus keys as part of this promotion so I'll hopefully have those to 100 tonight.

I also need some kind of newbie guide. I played a bit when this first came out, got a bouncer to mid 40s, and then just got so overwhelmed with everything that I wandered off. (Also started playing FF14, which didn't help.) I just have no idea what to do. There seem to be a million quests, I have no idea which ones matter, and the game seems to the most important one is that I find a flower for some guy?! A Neverbloom, I think? Like, is gathering important? That was a thing I unlocked not long before quitting, but the gathering is so tedious when I could be breakdancing at robots to make them explode. I have no idea what gear is good, how to level quickly, or what I should be focusing on. I know about correctly leveling mags, how to use all my attacks, and where to find guides for spending skill points so I don't screw that up. I also generally understand taking client orders and doing daily/weekly quests. But the rest of the "actually playing the game" just escapes me.

This guy on reddit made a pretty good catchup guide: https://old.reddit.com/r/PSO2/comments/mysxoy/catch_me_up_200_days_since_last_played/gvxrygr/ This other post has a bit more on the resources you need for the Klauz units/weapons: https://old.reddit.com/r/PSO2/comments/myjo7k/what_is_current_bis_tmg_gunner/gvwx6i7/ There's also a video guide I've seen passed around but haven't watched myself yet. I honestly don't know what you'd do to level up from a low level quickly (silver keys I guess? you get those from daily ARKS missions), but if you're 60+ gold keys are being given like candy and 80+ use the rainbow keys. Once you're up over 90/90 and have some good 15* gear you can take on divide quests and even at 85/85 you can join random Cradle of Darkness triggers. At the mission counter go to join another party and look for one with space, it's an insane amount of XP and also drops 13-15* weapons and 12-13* units like candy. Then the endgame is just Urgents, Divide Quests, and the solo Omega Masquerade and Sodam ultimate quests.

You generally want to do the fourth recommended quest for xp at low levels and save keys for the 75-85 hump. Although the game is making GBS threads out keys right now so it wouldn't be that bad. As said though, save any rainbows for 80+ to maximize your loot from them. Once you hit 85 try to get into a populated block and join either cradle of darkness or drawn to darkness triggers on UH. High density quests, cradle allows for bursting and piles of xp/loot/cubes. I hope in vain it gets nerfed because it's having some pretty unfortunate effects on the economy but I'm pretty sure Sega is just kinda throwing their hands up at this point and tossing the slops before NGS.

I started a month ago and ignored guides and advice completely and the idiot randos who join me in Cradle of Darkness in the last two weeks basically need me to bail them out all the time anyway. I'm not convinced you can actually screw up your build in this game, though I haven't played most of the classes. I guess you could use your bonus quest keys badly, but poo poo they're everywhere rn and that just slows you down, it doesn't make you suck.

Well, in the end all that matters is how fast you can kill things. On the other hand, the class counter has a "Make my build medeocre instead of what I actually spent my points on" button.

I played for maybe 30 hours, felt the same way, and never once thought the game was hard enough to be interesting. So I kinda stopped? I do keep track of this thread in hopes the PSO spark that hit me once in my youth could light up in PSO2. Maybe when NG comes out.

Since levels and gear largely don't move over to NGE, is there really much purpose to grinding out levels right now? Just to try and get the free SG from quests and achievements/titles?

I finally got around to starting last week now that I have some time to waste and I'm having so much fun. PSO1 is the online game I compare everything to because I have so many fond memories and I loved everything about it, from the art style to the setting to the music. I dumped at least a thousand hours into the original in its various iterations, and I can easily see myself doing the same here. This is my first online RPG since Guild Wars 1 and while this stuff may be commonplace in other games now, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of stuff there is; there just so much to do, although I can see it getting samey after a while if you're not a fanboy like me. Fortunately I love all the weird stuff I'm finding to do. I liked the PSO2Comi screening in the shopping center, and when a concert was scheduled I didn't realize it made you into a backup dancer and turned into a rhythm game, that took me by surprise and was awesome. The first urgent quest I did had the Burning Rangers theme playing and that was when I knew I was home again. The only thing I miss is that it seems like most communication is no longer done in game but rather in private Discord channels, so it can seem kinda lifeless doing the quests with other pubbies. Also, Risa is the best and I love her so much. Coxswain Balls fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Apr 28, 2021 |

I mean if you only played 30 hours you probably got a good idea of the game, but if it's about challenge then the end-game content can definitely bring it whether that challenge is fair or engaging or not is different question, since it's pretty standard WoW clone number-stacking after you get the basic twitch game stuff down.

Yeah ngs actually features the option of downloading pso2 along side it if you don't have it already, and the first Japanese beta test was run with the intention of how its connection to pso2 worked out. Speaking of the beta test, I got into the 2nd one and recorded some fighter gameplay in the one actual dungeon in the test if anyone was at all interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n0SVD-G_p4

I honestly don't think they've planned particularly well for NGS to fail. The story's wrapped up unless they pull stuff out of their rear end, the market is in shambles (if you thought arks missions caused inflation problems, see how much money you make on a good pse burst in cradle turning your cubes intro grinders), they don't appear to have much left in the tank scratch wise outside of remaking more stuff for the new model rigging and I'd be shocked to see any brand new content at this point that isn't just updating more older quests for ultra hard considering they aren't even doing seasonal urgent quests on JP apparently anymore. Some of the changes they've done have made sense for a game going into maintenance mode like easier affixing paths from raw catalyst drops, more powerstone options, etc but it feels too early to put on the market. I feel like the only way to make any semblance of money nowadays is to whale scratches, low drop rate cosmetics like camos, spamming cradle to grinder cubes, or a bad alt army for weekly divide and selling modules. The module market outside of Mitra appear to be drying up though. Crack is in the toilet price wise and affixing big units to sell is a dangerous game due to lower demand from a variation of things.

well maybe ill be able to like, buy a god-unit kit from somebody to assemble so I too can have 4-5 armor units worth of defensive stats equipped. back in the day before we had the Loadouts/My Sets function, it was a common mistake to accidentally forget to re-equip your units after swapping classes in the lobby, then you get plastered by the first thing that hits you and you realize what happened. but now imagine it going the opposite way
