[PSO2:NGS] New Player Gearing Guide

[@Thriftshoppin]

"For Takiness" ----> For Tankiness* I'm too lazy to fix it LMAO.

[@fathe3217]

I totally would like to be more of a Taki myself.

[@KiteoHatto]

Don't buy the elemental stuff like the video tells you. In Retem, Guiden gives you Evolcoat+49 weapons and armor and asks you to +50 them and augment them. You get the mats too. Thats good enough for Kvaris. Retem gives you a 10m exp quest that boosts you from 25-40ish and then Kvaris gives you another one with 20m exp that makes you go from 47 to 60. At that point, just grab the seasonal weapons (currently tenebrous+40) and you can hit 70 max cap comfortably. As for armor, Stia(60+ zone) has red boxes and there are 3 max upgraded and augmented armors you can get from them.

[@Jacob-bj2ps]

What lvl for quest start

[@Mystra]

He gives you 1 armor but it's Catleya not Evolcoat. Evolcoat armors does not exist lol. Edit: He gives you 2 more armors after... Valto and Qual +50

[@Mystra]

​@Jacob It's after you completed Retem and go back to Central City

[@momoiroyui]

It pains to see he even suggested using the other 5 star weapons, its just wasteful Also limit breaking renaissa weapons twice (+50) is nice cost wise, since you can unlock potential those upto level 5 for free, and higher base atk than evolcoat at +50

[@nickpleasant247]

Just starting on ps5. Have been enjoying your vids to get up to date before it dropped. Keep up the good work.

[@Thriftshoppin]

I appreciate the support and kind words! Hope you enjoy the game. Shoot me a message/comment if you need any help~

[@cheezybones8164]

Mad respect my guy! Thanks for the guide! My friends and I were overwhelmed with the game mechanics thanks for the video guide!

[@Thriftshoppin]

Gotchu fam~ More vids this week.

[@blint1794]

Your content is easy to understand, easy to follow and it really helps new players! Keep it up, very well built up video and script! Shared with all my PSO noobs!

[@Thriftshoppin]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@ForceKG]

Absolutely killed it on this guide, Thrift. I appreciate this so much as someone who loves a great guide to reference when progressing through a game.

[@Thriftshoppin]

Thanks force!

[@1Ksheffi]

I literally downloaded this game out of curiosity last night on my workhorse PS4 Pro. Your videos are helping tremendously, thanks.

[@icemaiden9534]

my ship 4 character i went full renaissa series (full pot, good caps, +50) took me from aelio to kvaris, im so glad the newbiw players get the free gear once per account it was hell before having the renaissa series is monry saver. Awesome and informitive vid as always thrifty great job, getting a forward to my PS4 ducklings today too.

[@Thriftshoppin]

Renaissa carries HARD.

[@icemaiden9534]

​@@Thriftshoppin it really does and cheap to upgrade to full +50 too, id saved enough meseta on my ship 4 to be able to buy a colour variant (clean)sechetyl harmonizer, which is just bonkers XD

[@uzakikena8294]

This helped a lot. I have the 6 star weapon an got 2 of the missing armor I needed all level 40 an have some of the suggest augments on them. All that's left to do is grind to get more arguments an arm refins. This guide helped me through the game very much

[@Thriftshoppin]

Love to see it

[@jacobburnette6345]

As someone who's never played these games and is playing it on the PlayStation 4 for the first time I would like to make a comparison this game to me is a much improved version of Sword Art Online fatal bullet and I absolutely love that game and so far this game has fixed all the problems that I had with fatal bullet and honestly I'm really looking forward to my time with this game if you have any tips that he doesn't cover in his videos be more than welcome to share them I'm wanting to learn as much as I can about this game

[@B_Kerson]

Same for me….couldn’t have said it better

[@joshuasquires2551]

New as well but on PS5 playing it and I really like it. I have one issue that is getting a group to go do Psy burst with .. team up in a party it says you get more from it but everyone seems to solo group 🤷🏻 am I missing something 🤔?

[@AcheliusDecimus]

I am starting fresh today, so plan on taking it slow. I used to play PS1 back in the day. This is just a nostalgia install to see if I like it, but I like how you present content. So will check out more if I do.

[@Thriftshoppin]

Enjoy the game! Its breathtaking and feels wonderful to play. Endgame stinks but thats a different story :P

[@AcheliusDecimus]

@@Thriftshoppin Noted just finished downloading jumping in now.

[@jollygreengiant7070]

My kid and I just used the free +29/+39 stuff until we hit lvl 53 for the evo's that were buyable with points at the last event shop. Then did the 3 red boxes in kavaris for the decold buff units. Clearing up to/thru kavaris was pretty doable with free gear. Then having event wep maxed out when ya bought it Saved up mats/caps for next units/weapons when they finally drop. 👍 ( New one will most likely be the same way, great filler til ya farm your "BiS" at that time.)

[@Thriftshoppin]

Good stuff! It's a real tough MMO habit to not upgrade ANYTHING that is an upgrade. You just breeze through so many of the levels in NGS it turns into a huge money sink. Glad you and your kiddo were able to zoom right through to Kvaris!

[@jubez187]

I already have my Kaizer weapon abut still watched the whole thing lol. It's just a good vid, glad to see you getting views on this.

[@JCH979]

I found some of your videos while researching some stuff and now watching this one. Your videos have been very helpful while I slowly get back into it, It's been over 2 years since I last played pso2 so I may as well be a new player.

[@Thriftshoppin]

Welcome back! I hope you enjoy your time in game. Big thanks for the watch and support friend

[@Thriftshoppin]

Thanks for the kind words friend!

[@OnyxCyanide]

@@Thriftshoppin My pleasure, good sir, and back at ya! 😊

[@delightXD]

Thrifty capsules like super statech I from snowball thing are quite cheap as well, they are good replacements for new players.

[@Thriftshoppin]

YUP I totally spaced out on this.

[@pyterson]

Those videos are help me a lot thanks

[@Thriftshoppin]

Youre welcome!

[@Renvaar1989]

I had a few days off over CNY and took a new character to max level with an 8-star event weapon, 3 Sestato armor and half-decent augments. Even bought some expensive cosmetics. They literally throw stuff at you to get you to the end-game.

[@Thriftshoppin]

That they do! It def helps having events with worthwhile weapons/gear

[@profitmuhammed]

Another tips: Enhancement and Potential unlock give more Battle Power than affix, dont waste your capsule

[@Thriftshoppin]

I disagree with this. You should be doing BOTH so you can get through story quests easier. You will loot so many useless (and i really do mean useless) capsules that have no value, so simply augment them and get the extra battle power. It costs 100meseta per capsule attempt, its the cheapest battle power you'll get early on

[@bboy458]

Why are you the only NGS CC putting out quality content with clear concise info?

[@Thriftshoppin]

xD! I always strive for high effort videos. Thanks for the kind words! There will definitely be more content with the Stia update from many creators.

[@xstackcityx1979]

What a great guide for the new players getting into pso2 ngs 👍

[@Thriftshoppin]

[@SakaiCross]

👍 great guide and as veteran player I feel kinda jealous of those new player because of recent changes most augments got really cheap and offer new player benefits for a quick start while saving a lot of meseta.

[@Thriftshoppin]

The new capsule change definitely makes it easy to upgrade, but also makes it a nightmare to make meseta. I'm really hoping new capsules are introduced soon. There really is no solid ways to make meseta to afford anything currently

[@sanfransiscon]

I'm super grateful for this! Really gives me a peace of mind going through the game for the first time knowing I don't need to constantly worry about new equipment. Does multiweapon change much in the way of how to augment a weapon?

[@Thriftshoppin]

Nope! Check my multiweapon 101 video for a detailed rundown of the multiweapon system

[@mpmoonpig]

the new seasonal 6* weapon will be lv40 (436atk), according to 0:28 in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpPFhH5noqaSfac, that will be huge because when new player gain that 10M exp from the quest, they should be at least lv41(from my personal experience) and they can switch to codeck series immediately

[@Thriftshoppin]

I'm failing to see anything that suggests its level 40 to equip, unless you mean its +40 enhanced? Yes, its gonna be the prioritized weapon for players once the event is here.

[@mpmoonpig]

Thriftshoppin you can see the small “equip condition” when the cursor is on the codeck weapons, although it could be changed when the event drops.

[@Daleoss90]

It'll probably be lvl 53 like the Evolorbit 6*. lvl 40 seems too low for a 6* weapon, I know it's in the video, but that may be a placeholder, we'll see though :)

[@ironv7872]

Thx u Dude a good Guide for new players

[@Thriftshoppin]

I appreciate the kind words! I'm glad you find it helpful~

[@stephenmandel3469]

Great guide! You deserve a sub 👍

[@saintsaber8491]

great guide and will follow it i just wish i could make up my mind as to what class to take to end game.

[@net_spider]

What about harmonizers? Seems to be lacking for a lot of choice if your main is a Waker...

[@khonsux5240]

What you recommend those same augments for Kaizaar?

[@Thriftshoppin]

It's up to you. The nice things about augments is you can REPLACE them whenever. So you shouldn't feel obligated to go all out on augments. You are more than fine putting cheap augments on the weapon and replacing later when you have better funds. Its so so SO important to save money. It's easier to make money flipping items in the market when you have some funds to invest with. With all that being said, Kaizaar is a weapon that definitely deserves great capsules since you will be using it for months. Now we just got the recent headline and were introduced to new capsules so as of right now I would recommend (for an expensive but strong build): Gigas Stat IV (Releasing October 5) Mastery IV Boss Soul III Addi Capsule (deft,gua,sta,spi,staspi) Deft Stat

[@hywolfgaming8932]

great video. subbed

[@OGC93]

Haven't played this since the first few months of release I had did all they had to do at the time but i thought about redownloading this... Only mmo with action combat I enjoyed

[@Thriftshoppin]

Yup exactly. It may not have everything right for endgame but DAMN is the action combat just perfect.

[@Praxama]

nice vid!!

[@Thriftshoppin]

Thanks!

[@ShouVertica]

There is an upcoming event with 6* and amazing event potency stuff on it.

[@Thriftshoppin]

Absolutely, it should be the primary weapon new players focus on due to it being already upgraded. Easy money-saver.

[@Zhaiyarlord]

Shortcut: Save your meseta for marketplace

[@Thriftshoppin]

Phashion is the endgame :P

[@YusufKhan-ti7sr]

What is batter fighter for main class and bouncer for sub or bouncer main and fighter sub (I just started today) and what is batter the boot? Or the sword from bouncer or fighter duel sword?

[@Thriftshoppin]

It really comes down to preference. Find what weapon you REALLY enjoy and then subclass with something that will support that playstyle. I have a video on skill trees that can better help you create main class/sub class skill trees

[@YusufKhan-ti7sr]

Thx

[@Fl4kTheTerminator]

My main weapon still a 1 star and my sub class weapon is 3 star and I think I'm level 16 or 17 I just fought Next aelio Boss

[@nikkopaolopagar9967]

Bruh I play on PS5, completely new to the game and the first thing I did was check the personal shop for outfits and checked the prices of outfits and accessories I want. Once I got the money I used all of it for fashion lmao I guess I have to wait til I can finish my weeklies for money. I look good but I can’t progress the game smh 😂

[@Thriftshoppin]

Naw you just express-mailed yourself to endgame! City-sitting and flexing fashion is the true endgame~

[@lands8805]

Im a new player and they gave us like 3star lvl60 weapons esp on main class (gunner) so i was able to easily level thru up to 50 without ever spending on anything LOL and the dmg is pretty good for a 3star

[@Thriftshoppin]

For sure this is an outdated gearing video. There's currently a seasonal event handing out level 40 weapons that are galaxies stronger than anything suggested here. Enjoy NGS!

[@kakashidragon2]

So does this guide still apply if we just started the game a few weeks ago? Cause me and my brother just recently started this game last week, and we are both around lv15. Idk if anything in this video will help since this video was 5 months ago?

[@liodamellos7582]

what abt evolorbit?

[@DeathTheKid24555]

Got to retem and did some quests till the 1400kbp level 18 and guiden still hasent given me my evol weapon what do i do now

[@jollygreengiant7070]

Are all cocoons/towers in Aelio done? Did you unlock potency to lvl 4 on your free weapon? ( Shouldn't cost mats on all given +29 weps) also double check you have all your skill points used. 3 quick things that "might" help.

[@Thriftshoppin]

This reward from Guiden is a one time per account reward. Have you made a character before? This could be the case. Also check and make sure these rewards werent sent to your storage due to your inventory being full?

[@Johnnie2g]

Question was race are you playing as? I don't any with that stance and running animation

[@Thriftshoppin]

Idle and motions are items you can buy in the scratchers and add to any character

[@LunarBloodRose27]

Does Guiden not give an Evolcoat Katana +39? I only got a few weapon types

[@Thriftshoppin]

He gives you +39 weapons that associate with your main and subclass as of talking to him. Note that this is only for the first character of your account that talks to guiden.

[@LunarBloodRose27]

@@Thriftshoppin Braver is my sub, I only got the bow from that class. I even made sure I had enough inventory space as I was thinking I'd get all Evolcoat weapons

[@mellyz8877]

hey thriftshoppin im new which class the best?

[@Thriftshoppin]

I would recommend trying Fighter (any weapon), Braver Katana, Bouncer Jet Boot, Force Rod, and Waker Harmonizer. Rifle is nice for ranged + support too. I personally play Braver Katana right now. It's buttery smooth and strong

[@dorkywaffles]

Me and my fiancee reached retem last night and she received the evolcoat weapons but I didn't... Not sure if I missed something or not. I did get them before on other characters and was wondering if maybe it was only once per class per account?

[@delightXD]

Renaissa are very cheap for unlocking potentials so they are still kinda viable. I was using it till getting to kvaris on my ship 1 char XDD.

[@ystolamurmur8432]

just came back to the game after 2 months since kvaris released means im poor of messeta after investing my stuff for my 6stars gears i just want to know if the kaizaar wep really worth for the long run i dont want get power creep in the future after i build my kaizaar,60 blizzardium right now.... still working on the ice cube if its not worth my time ill stop hurting myself

[@Thriftshoppin]

Who knows when the next rarity of weapon will show up. The beautiful thing about Kaizaar is it requires practically zero meseta, rather just requires a lot of time. You can get the Kaizaar in about 5 weeks of casual gaming. Do an ancient daily and exchange for 20 blizzardium weekly and its yours. In the meantime participate in Arks records for the Mk.1 Kaizaar. You might be able to get that version (albeit a little weaker) earlier. Protip: You can multiweapon the two Kaizaar versions together. So as long as you make the TRUE Kaizaar the BASE ITEM and the Mk.1 Kaizaar the MATERIAL ITEM, you will get the better stats on both of the weapons.

[@ystolamurmur8432]

ok ill try to get the mats as i can what units u would recomend beside 3 sesatos,ill use 1 and whats the other alternative for the 2 units cus i dont like how the sesato cost for just armors?

[@ano2101]

What camo is that ? The double katanas you have?

[@Sodisna]

New players: Please don't waste your meseta on phansion.

[@Thriftshoppin]

Why play then? Fashion is what carries this game! As it stands, you can do all of the content in suboptimal gear and mediocre augments.

[@berzenef]

Fashion is the true end game in any mmo ;)

[@djmack6474]

Wait...no mention of the mastery Aug? Isn't that the best offensive aug in the game?

[@Thriftshoppin]

It sure is but its also unreal for a new player to expect to put this on their gear. This guide is to supplement a new account and the achievable goals that you should aim for. Of course months down the road if you have the money you are more than welcome to minmax to your hearts content but I would never recommend augmenting Mastery IV to anyone new. It's a huge waste of money

[@brandonv9422]

So I only wear 1 sestato armor and sell the other 2? Why not wear all 3? abit confused

[@VoltageComics]

I assumed he meant whichever one fits your play style. Use it. Sell the other two as they go for a pretty penny with the specific augment they have. Then buy two more of the one you picked as they don't cost much without said augment. But that's just what I assumed he meant

[@brandonv9422]

Are the event cosmetics hard to get for a f2p?

[@Thriftshoppin]

Event cosmetics are super easy to get! All you have to do is defeat enemies for seasonal points and buy them. You will be able to buy all seasonal cosmetics/fashion in less than a day of playing for sure

[@Ok-md3be]

How can I get my character to look like yours?

[@Thriftshoppin]

Tons of accessories! Honestly most of the fashion in this game comes down to collecting over time. For example, my skirt in game is from a few months back, the baswear was just from a couple weeks ago and the weapon camo was a few months back as well. Just be super good with your money and when accessories and outfits come out that you like, buy one! Money making is super hard right now but that will change (hopefully) in October.
