[PSO2] My Weapon Upgrade Plans

[@polymatio]

The main attraction of the Fluxio weapon is how they are very solid DPS weapons for anyone who plan to change the weapon type since it does not cost any materials. I will say after using them for a while they are especially good vs bosses since it allows you to keep the potential up for a durable time otherwise it loses the bonus quickly back to the base 13% damage boost. Its good for those who want to look for a good alternative outside of Cras Lightweaver series

[@VeryCoolAndBased]

Glad to see you're satisfied with your Trailblazer. I didn't want to spend so much time on Rivelate if there was going to be something better soon after... so I'll stick with my Trailblazer for now, too.

[@cynical_crow7297]

Trailblazers are still strong. S1: Augment Will or ATK Amp and Redux Potentials help keep them competitive. Being a PP battery is a bonus. If you got alt characters, you’ll definitely want weapons to transition to. You just have to think about your time and resources. I’m quite liking my Trailblazers on my Hero and Fighter. I’m also quite interested in the future Fluxio weapon series for my Gunner and Ranger.

[@jayhardy977]

I have been telling my alliance and my friends this for weeks.... im so glad you made a video about it. Awesome content creator telling the ppl what they need to know!!!!

[@artimusprimeutube]

The eyestone you can get from title reward, I wouldn't try to farm six copies as there should be 1+ items for your weapons (they're in a collection file on JP). I would avoid saying that anything is the ultimate/be-all-end-all, as a lot depends on play-style, need. Raw damage numbers doesn't always get what you expect, lol. Enjoying the content btw.

[@CloudyKoon]

Just made my Atlas EX weapon (Since I missed the free one) and it works perfectly fine for me lol. For now at least.

[@ProfessorPrinny]

The Divine Eyestones are the equivalent of Rivalate Keys, Chronos Eternistones etc. So the amount of Lightweavers you can make will be gated by how much of those you'll have.

[@Krispygee19]

If no one answered it yet, the Fluxio series is attained via a bunch of titles from doing the latest Challenge Mode Quest--we dub as CM3--on the Japanese servers. It's arguabley the second BiS for a bunch of classes, it comes pretty close to Cras (before it's potential anyway, after it though Cras beats Fluxio by a wide margin) when Fluxio potential is active. The big thing with Fluxio too is you can category change them for free so it makes them very flexible for what class you want to use them on.

[@faiz4280]

Fun fact : Module Varuna/Mitra/Execour/Shiva can put in personal shop.

[@MrHitmancheg]

As an Etoile that likes having his options open, my current game plan is to get Rivilate Soaring Blades, Cras Double Saber and Ayer Wand (because Etoile wand is one HUGE PP guzzler, this seems like a pretty damn good option even when comparing with its supposed upgrade). Everything else depends on how the Global progression will differ from JP.

[@AshernCaelia]

Well this was some valuable information. My highest tier weapons right now were the Novel series I got in preparation of crafting Rivalite weapons, but from this it sounds like it would be better to spare myself that grind and do what I can to prepare for the Ayer weapons. Sure, those will be released months in the future but I'm still a fairly new player. I've only got one class up to level 75 and I'm still on episode 2 for the story, so there's a lot of little improvements I can make before I focus all my attention on getting endgame gear. Still, it's good to have the endgame in mind so I know what to save up on such as the excubes.

[@thelazyfinnian]

Seiros are weapons from collection file/folder. They are good for temporary usage while you farm for endgame weapons. I'm not sure about fluxio tho

[@7894562417]

@@0rrchids its Pre-Ultimate end game weapon tho so what do you expect, after crass nothing new will came out anymore, If SEGA make its easy to drop/create then the game will died out very soon, gotta prolong the game as long as they can till NGS lol

[@peacechan4500]

5:49 uh you also need to say that you'll need to have a 6 ayer exchange weapon. Because last I heard max grind value of that thing is only +30

[@zXDaishiXz]

Can we expect ultimate booster exchange at any point? If the only significant investment for Rivilate is the booster I see no real reason to hold back. Assuming Rivilate’s damage is on par with a 200atk trailblazer. Base Rivilate offers 16% and 23% on the redux, as well as a ton of crit, and a pretty good S5 option from gunblade and the S4 utility slot lacking on Trailblazer. If we’ll only need 30 in the future, for a weapon that may not even out perform trailblazer I’m hesitant to sleep on Rivilate, considering it might be a large enough amount of time to farm ultimate boosters via shop or hopefully less tedious methods than we do now. (I still need about another 25 PD runs *sighhh*) I think a legitimate question should be: “Would a Rivilate have any value if you own a good light weaver?” Because if it’s a true in slot replacement and Rivilate offers nothing other than crit then sleeping on it makes does make sense.

[@Powzernation]

everytime i start aiming for a weapon i get diverted to a new weapon o.o

[@ChoKyuhyuk]

[@ohlawd6763]

Honestly i'm just terrified of investing into a weapon or unit and then it becoming "irrelevant" or just a worse investment than something that gets released down the line. I've just been planning to use the 15* weapons from the collections folder for my Hero, while thinking about what Units I want since i've been using the Dark Falz units forever haha.

[@keroppi]

I’ll be talking about this subject in tomorrow’s video!

[@studiesinflux1304]

@@keroppi I'll be waiting for that video as well... since I just started early enough to have the Atlas EX giveaway but I'm keeping it as a gunblade in case I like the Luster class, I'm looking at budget affixes to give my collection folder weapon better PP management.

[@drachma1651]

There is a small reason for some classes to farm a single Riv/Lib weapon as their S5 is very good (example hero TMG) so there's that to consider

[@TigerTT]

I'm going for the Rivalate launcher,but I'm not sure what I'll do for other weapons yet. I really like the redux potential on the rivalate launcher compared to the other options that are coming out soon. Though Global only has one more unit set left so we're already at end game in terms of units.

[@maverichz]

The ayer weapons fron zieg max out at +30. We need 5 copies... The materials grinding will be fun lol

[@nichryckman9093]

time to farm 1500 class cubes insted

[@Shiyoken]

Glad I reaffixed my Rivalate Rod to BiS for now as it's going to be a grind to get end game items and equipment. Not even bothered to push for Cras at the moment as the Riv is pretty strong as. Need to do my units more then anything lol. Anyone who is struggling for the new 15's, no need to go out of your way. Just use Atlas/Trail/other easy 15's, entirely up to you. But some S-augments you need are on those weps; depending on your end game class, you may need them.

[@mrkatamari]

You can completely skip this series, but it is recommended to have at least one to generate the S5 affixes. Same way you need at least one Atlas to generate the best S4 affixes.

[@ReisSns]

Cras gunblade has the same S5 of riverlate on SAF If I'm not mistaken.

[@mrkatamari]

@@ReisSns But you need to farm 6 of them to get it to +35 and reaffix the weapon each time you get a S5 from it. It's cheaper doing it from an obsolete weapon only used for that propuse, especially if you play multiple classes. If your Rivalate is 1 slot it only cost like 100k meseta to transfer the S5, but transfering from a 8 slot weapon cost millions.

[@MacDrebin]

Also the Rivalate plus potential makes Rivalate fairly comparable to the Stil weapon with that 7% more damage while being much easier to obtain. Just don't switch the Rivalate weapon category though, the plus potential will not carry over and will reset to the original.

[@rovaljax]

Meanwhile, I got all the mats ready to craft an ophistia pp battery talis only to find out that its not needed for the classes that need it and gunblade is better. Can't change it and idk if I can spare the meseta for it since i need it for other stuff. Maybe... On the other hand I got all the mats for affixing a rivalate weapon to not only have s4 lifesteal and s5 mysterious intent but also astral soul, modulator, doom break ii and mana reverie. Edit: Honestly I may end up crafting the rivalate weapon since I need a weapon with that extra Ooomph and healing to make the grind for Cras much easier.

[@LilC1deep]

If its not too late have you considered upslotting collection folder weapon for doom break 3? I understand if you'd rather not because of upslotting and the 30 enhancement cap

[@rovaljax]

@@LilC1deep I did consider it but i wanted to be more frugal. Im saving an orb rod for puras/stil though.

[@thetrigger173]

I already made rivalate katana cuz the S5 is soo good with S4 skill balance xD i probably gonna make lightweaver katana then category change rivalate katana to something else.

[@nikopineda5753]

I skipped TB Katana because I felt maximizing it requires that 200 atk and the cost to do that doesn't really match up. I'll be making Rivalate since it has S4-S5 slots and I don't have to change playstyles much from the Atlas Ex Katana. XD

[@elricvanekimus]

well since i followed your advice in crafting my atlas Katana for my braver,i will follow your guide further! anyway thx a lot for the info,now i can save a lot of mesetas and time farming for my endgame Katana!

[@alexmo9299]

I think I'm going to stick with Atlas EX for now, I've been trying to make a Liberate, but I think it's just going to be better to wait for Ayer. I've been playing around with alot of classes and I want to play and bunch of them. And Ayer seems to be just easier to get and have different ones for each class I play.

[@danikkogalang5264]

Hello I really like your video but you can farm for lumimech Emer fragment by doing divide quests higher stage more fragment you can get. And also there's a weekly point reward in divide quest that means more points more rewards. like ultimate booster, fragments, modules and tri-boosts and the good thing is the weekly point reward are bound to a specific character not account bound so can do it with all of your characters.

[@roadblock99]

I honestly think skipping rivalate until cras is a bad idea. The rivalate damage(with + potential from the free frags we get from this mission pass) is fantastic, way better than TB/Atlas, & on par w/ Still/Puras(I have all and use TB for pp regen along with genon). If you are playing the game just a bit, the only difficult thing to get is Ult Boosters and with the new EZ UH MB runs every1 is running, it's no problem, not to mention the exchange that we will have soon. Coming from JP side and playing/knowing Globals rapid schedule, it could've been: choose atlas or TB, def make Rivalate and then wait for final cras wep.

[@707zacbuster]

Its depressing when you run MB 5 times and not a single booster to drop I just stopped running it until we can trade our photon boosters

[@superkerel9]

If you break it down, Rivalate is at least 30 mil worth of materials + a ton of mining base to get the ultimate boosters. So is it really worth spending all that time and meseta on getting a weapon that will be replaced in a month, by a weapon that takes significantly less effort to get?

[@707zacbuster]

@@superkerel9 the boosters are the only thing stopping me from getting the rivalate weapon plus it's ability is really good. The other weapons special skill requires you to not get hit at all. With the gunblade rivalate skill and life steal you basically never have to worry about healing

[@roadblock99]

@@superkerel9 I can't really agree with this way of thinking ever, IF you're playing the game JUST A LITTLE(hour or two a day min), you should have the materials and continue to get them. I haven't been playing as much since we are in a limbo time and have reacquired like 60 more ult booster after my rivalate(and have 10k boosters if I wanted to exchange later, I'm sure many have much more). The rivalate doesn't really interfere with the future weps(outside of ult Boosters which won't be hard to get soon, and lumin frags IF you upgrade it's potential), the plam mats again are easy to get IF you're playing and moving forward will be easier to get as well. (And if you're thinking like Keroppi, unless Global does something very different, it WILL take some time to get the ayer then cras, and quite a lot of grinding(& meseta), which means ur sticking with the much weaker atlas/TB for months).

[@omegacloud222]

Honestly if theyre now planning on stretching out the content release schedule (were gonna be going on a full month for an update if we dont get one this wednesday) then we definitely wont be seeing Ayer come for a couple months minimum. Now that theres no roadmap to follow and we essentially only have a few small bits of ep 6 content left, i wouldnt expect part 2 to release for another month and a half, and then 2 months after that for part 3. Leaving us a couple months left for smaller updates until NGS is released.

[@omegacloud222]

like i said in my post we dont have much content left in the game. well most likely only be seeing 1 patch every month now rather than every 2 weeks. so itll be slowing down a bit but we probably wont be seeing large content gaps til NGS is released. Then well see the usual 4-6 month content drought with little actual new content unless it becomes incredibly popular and starts making even 1/5th of WoW/FFXIV figures every month.

[@omegacloud222]

@@Rem694u2 While that is true, usually the vast majority of the time when a gaming company gives an ambiguous time like "Spring" it usually means at the very end of it. So its pretty safe to assume late June. Which is 6 months. So thats plenty of time to finish off content. 4.5 months or so for the next 2 parts and gives some time for the smaller updates before NGS launch. Total speculation of course but a very possible thing if we are looking at a late June launch for NGS.

[@Dogrethson]

And an alternative opinion I got was - make Rivalate, skip Puras/Stil series since Rivalate with Plus pot was said to be good enough. Another friend told me as well that he had a real bad time trying to create Stil cause of some mat or 2 ... so yeah I guess the trend will be to stick with your current stone weapon, upgrade plus pot, then wait for the Ayer

[@exion2011]

its one of the stone that you need to get from medal shop and its only give you 1 per week (forgot the name). The general problem with still/puras is not the grinding itself but some ingridients to make the weapons are time gated.

[@0rrchids]

I saw someone @YT tested dps of the million /croseus weapon (15* collection folder) and found that its the same as atlas & rivelate...

[@studiesinflux1304]

I'm not surprised if the weapons were un-altered. The collection folder weapon is designed to give newer players (like me) or players who don't punch Persona in the face all day something to play Ultra Hard with their buddies without being dead weight. The Atlas EX weapon is essentially a holder for S-Grade Augments, so it would not be fully utilized if you just picked up the weapon from December's campaign without modifying it. However, the Atlas EX supports the S4 augment which none of the collection folders do - and the S4 is strong enough to make a difference in something other than pure damage. (That said there are S4 damage augments for fighters, bow bravers, and some others that would have caused more damage.)

[@ryuzakikazeshini4012]

is all this effort warranted since NGS is gonna get released this year tho O_O

[@omegacloud222]

Considering moving weapons from PSO2 to NGS has already been a confirmed feature, that alone makes the grind worth it. Plus if NGS is anything like PSO2 has been in terms of release schedule on the jp side, youll be lucky to see a bit of content every 4-6 months.

Another downside to Stil weapons is that you're still going to have to make a Liberate/RIvalate weapon in the end to get the S5 Augment.

[@BloodborneASN]

You only need one +35 gunblade and then just do S grade transfer

[@niconico2312]

Yeah. Waiting for the next set of weapons is ideal because the difficulty of the game doesn't really change. Atlas Ex weapons are still viable. Rivalate weapons are a pain to farm, might as well put that energy to farming the next tier weapons.

[@BloodborneASN]

Divide Quest will make farming Rivalate a lot easier. The only pain in the ass to farm for Rivalate is Plam material and Ultimate Boosters, which drop in Divide Quests.

the only issue here is that true PD is not in trigger in JP servers, the rest is just grinding like a spartan.

[@raventhorX]

I just hope that with how these weapons are being used to obtain that they end up making them easy to get later on. Like seriously, as far as i know you only get one rivalate key at the end of the mission pass. probably still easier to get than on JP but i already dont like the idea that its at the end of a mission pass. Either way it would be annoying if in the last update for the game they only give one similar item for whatever the last weapon they release is with no way to get more.
