[PSO2:NGS] Arms Refiners and Strugment Farming

[@ngshighlites7507]

Funny story to the one arm refiner I got. It can from a lizard enemy. I literally couldn’t lock on and that lizard was running everywhere. Finally after a minute or three I took him out.

[@CalgarGTX]

For me arms refiner on mobs are relik lvl rare. I'm still at 0, having been farming in aelio combat zones in some way everyday since the +50 patch. Meanwhile I got 4 in DF

[@jasoncorkran6169]

I got an arms refiner drop in Magnus, but never the lab or forest.

[@ScottishDuck17]

I still expect "I will shave my head bald" to be in the intro.

[@Dsaberz]

I've never gotten a drop ever in those other drop places

[@azurablue9988]

try the mag buff, and try to go when the rare drop rate mag its full, that's 30% and if you go after the concert, that's a 10% rdr and if you join a party, a 10% extra, for a total of 50% free rdr, and, try to stay from 3 to 4 phothon bursts, ill bet by then you'll have some stugment in your inventory

[@Dsaberz]

@@azurablue9988 I did all those things trust me I got nothing.

[@The_Sykotik]

🤞🤞🤞 Here's to hoping that they add strugments and refiners to Retem when they add the rank 3 combat zones

[@emanuelporter806]

I don't think so. I think SEGA wants to have certain areas to have certain items so that people will have to return to them. Already up to 200 strugments. Retem will be our photon scale source for rank 3

[@jasoncorkran6169]

I'm also finding more Strugment C in magnus than lab or forest.

[@basedcase]

Interesting

[@TheWhiteWolf202]

What’s the best way to farm arms refiners now in 2024. Plz someone

[@cyric2010]

I still farm Veterans in Retem and Dread Keep III's dont seem to drop for me AT ALL anymore. I probably killed about 40 to 50, since I saw my last one. Not good.

[@Cerby1979]

Yep. I got my first Dread Keeper III last night since a few days and 33 vets later (5 overall).

[@basedcase]

Vet farming is so fun when you get a full 32 person group.

[@Cerby1979]

@@basedcase only good when fighting the vets in Central Retem like the Renus that everyone seems to want to hunt.

[@Morninqstar]

Is there anywhere I can go to look at the rewards for relentless training. Just need to know if this one drops special scratch tickets like the last one did.

[@emanuelporter806]

I have over 200 strugments each. Just getting them while I complete relentless. I'll be ready for 6 star upgrade. Which should be 20 arms refiners total.

[@CalgarGTX]

Thats a shtload of money your sitting on when they could become obsolete or much easier to find in April, just saying..

[@LazerRay1]

Gearing up two characters can be a pain, you just have it a bit worse then me since yours are on different ships, both of mine are on the same ship and I alternate between them so both are equally strong, it just takes twice as long to farm the materials though, but its something to do. As for farming the strugments from the UQs, Pettas and Nex are easy during the double UQ event, you need to be lucky to get two defense UQs going while the timer is up since that one can take up to 30 minutes (combining cue up, transition in and out, actual run time, and clearing quest storage). Now trying to buy Dread Keeper augments on ship 4 is much worse than before, DK1 is becoming scarce, DK2 is completely gone, and DK3 is over priced as usual, you are better off farming these due to the messed up market.

[@soloshermitshack4955]

"Gesring up 2 characters can be a pain" Me with 9: 👁👄👁 you don't say??

[@黑羽Kohane]

Hihi May i ask whr to get these limited quest?

[@bubblysharkie123]

How and where to find arms refiner?

[@yukikuran734]

I have a quiz for you all. Using default skill set up on a PlayStation 4 controller tapping Triangle,Triangle, Triangle, then square/box. Which abilities are used? For braver

[@kadjaft]

Hopefully we will see more pop up with rank 2 Retem areas.

[@xxalphal3gionxx87]

I have no problems getting a and b though c hard for me

[@mjdiaz2085]

rank 3.

[@kadjaft]

@@mjdiaz2085 yeah. That one. Lmao

[@Cerby1979]

I think we’ll be seeing photon scales drop in those combat areas instead of strugments.

[@kadjaft]

@@Cerby1979 I hope not. I would prefer them to open up the 5 scale locations in the field and let rdr affect how many drop. I think aswell they should change the photon chunk in the dailies to a scale. Look at different avenues than combat zone farming for a gathering resource.

[@maxrosefoxanime7225]

I think I have got 1 arm like ones in a week like And I always farm Lab since it just a close area and have better spawns to me

[@mjdiaz2085]

small areas are the best spot to farm. lab ruins does have some spot where you want PSE burst to happen at. course there is a down fall at lab is the drones. it attack every player that is close. another down fall about drones is it will attack mobs when you are going to T mark when there 4 bars and it end up killing a mob or two and get a level down.

[@Tkoxscorpio5190]

I got a relik from Dark falz and I never knew they drop from him

[@osopotato1698]

The Relik drop rate from Dark Falz is very very low just like the Drop Rate from other places. I gave up trying to get one and no way I'm gonna pay those bums on the personal store their absurd prices.

[@Tkoxscorpio5190]

@@osopotato1698 I feel you on that man

[@dero4378]

50 each to craft 5 arms refiners to break one weapons limit. I need to do this for 6 weapons for my second character, since he uses 6 weapons. then, there are two more characters waiting with 7 weapons each... meaning, Im gonna need 3000 strugment... 1000 As, 1000 Bs and 1000 Cs... :I Yeah, no... I'm not gonna farm that XD Imma need money.

[@GHOSTTEAM-po4dw]

I haven’t done anything to get to +50 on my stuff because of how rare all that stuff is and I don’t like the old area i like the new area and i just don’t have any will to go after that stuff ether but that’s where I’m at on this

[@KSwagger123]

2 weeks?

[@Cerby1979]

I managed to get an arms refiner drop during the last DF quest but that’s it out of 15 attempts. Getting those other than the strugments are just as rare as getting reliks.

[@ShinSoma134]

Come to Ship 4 too. You also have fans in Ship 4. Hehe
