I'm waiting for the day when people finally realize there is a reason PSO has more than like 500 weapons and not just the 3 Dark Weapons. If you can't be strong without the use of a Dark Weapon, it's because you're a scrub and you don't understand how the game works. You raise your character correctly, you feed your mag correctly, you learn your character's strengths and weaknesses, you learn the enemy's attack patterns, when to attack, when to fall back and run, when to dodge, when you can't dodge, where to be and where not to be. You learn the maps, know where to go, whats the fastest way there, whats the safest way, what enemies NEED to be killed, which ones DON'T. It's understanding the game. If you properly raise a character, say a HUcast for example, he can make a Diska of Braveman deadly even on ultimate difficulty. You don't need to be super strong to hunt a DoB, now do you? There are loads of weapons that work well just with HUcast alone, Vjaya is one of the most damaging weapons in the game with it's charge attack, Daylight Scar actually has one of the highest damage per second rates in the game for a melee weapon; neither of these is hard to find. Hunt one with hit and then the rest is left up to skill, you learn when to attack and when to dodge so that you don't leave yourself open, and you can literally take down ANY boss in this game with just those two weapons alone. Also PSO is a game that can have up to 4 players in a room, say you meet a friend who is a Force; that alone takes half of your load away. Now this FO can boost your attack power, heal you when you make mistakes, and make enemies easier to kill by debuffing them, not to mention any extra damage they put in while you fight. worst case scenario, this FO is drawing half of the enemy's fire away from you. There are so many ways to exploit this game to attain power without going on crazy hunts. One way, going back, raising your mag is one of the BEST ways to achieve a high power early on; ironically mags are often the most neglected piece of equipment a player has. Mags don't have an equip requirement, so any character level 1-200 can wear one. All you have to do is have the patience to raise the darn thing. When I first came to PSO ultima, before I even went into hard difficulty, I roamed normal difficulty finding things to feed my mag and using mag guides so by the time I was level 20, my mag was level 200 and I could DESTROY anything hard difficulty and up had to throw at me. I didn't have super strong weapons, but my mag had my back. And yet, I've seen characters level 150+ walking around on Ultimate Difficulty with a neglected Kalki or some other form of underpowered mag and they don't understand why they can't deal any damage. ULTIMA server makes PSO about as easy as you're ever gonna get it to be powerful in a short amount of time. Right now, with the Xmas Event active, you have 5x exp active, Noob/HP dropping, rare monsters on (which when killed give a high exp bonus in addition to the 5exp active) so raising a character to be powerful isnt even a hard thing to do if you take a few days to push at it. Use all of the different characters, don't stick to one class. Each character is made to fight a different way, use this to find different items and make your other characters stronger. Look in my signature, I have so many characters because each one serves a different purpose. I know the strengths and weaknesses of each class, each ID and I know how to use each character. I'm not saying I'm the strongest player on the server, but I'll be damned if I can't deal damage to something or get through a challenge. I asked a lot of questions, asked for a lot of help, learned more about this game than I have any other and learned how it works. I've figured out ways to make my level 10 characters do more damage than most people's level 100's and this is all without the use of a Dark Weapon. Even basic weapons can be made extremely powerful if you know what they are good at and how to use them. Being "weak" is never an excuse, not in PSO /rant

the skin itself is cool, its the stats under the hood that are gamebreaking, as long as our mods here aren't idiots, they could re-create the skin without it destroying the game as long as they make it within certain parameters

FOmar Force / Human / Male With low defensive power and low HP FOmars are challenging to use. Their combination of techniques and quickness in combat make them unique. FOmarl Force / Human / Female Besides excelling in support techniques FOmarls are competent with weapons. This gives them a more balanced growth potential. Both of these classes were created to use weapons and techs in combination to allow them to whoop ass. This is offset by their naturally lower stats, and lower HP, but thats why forces are described as an advanced class. You get good equipment, then you git gud scrub. Allowing a weapon like Psycho Ravens to come down to forces wouldnt be any more OP than allowing Hunters to use Master Sword. It's balancing, not overempowering. I'll be the first one to tell you, I refuse to have any of my forces just be S/D - J/Z machines. If I bring a force out, I'm trying to whoop some booty and stack some damage, I'm not there just to keep the hunters and rangers safe. I think I do a pretty good job of protecting my team, but a force that cant fight is a dead force

A high grade weapon with worse ata than zanba? GG, zanba needs max hit to even touch enemies lol

dont think many people on the server have these, I might have the only pair, and they're not exactly for sale y'know?

honestly, have to agree, badmar is still bad even with godrics

Hundred Souls or Heaven Striker?

ofrezco una DF 0/50/0/50/70

lol hit zanbas are worth more in the 40dts range

I offer 25 dts

isnt that close to the drop rate of what pgf is year round for schtserv? I'd hope its lower than that lol

Viridria heart of morolian from Gal Gryphon confirmed

this is what I do, I'm strong but I'm unlucky every event, so I just buy them from other people lol

@ serverus : (Dec/Tue15/2015 09:54) pgf only drops 25 to 6 dont waste time hunting now does that mean PGF isn't active until Dec 25th? D:
