I appreciate the replies and a reminder about a brutal scene in Hereditary. Thank you. 

[When will the Valentine's day event start?]

Will there be a Valentine's day even this year?

[Best way to level solo]

I have mostly been doing TTF for most of my solo leveling. Is there a more efficient or more recommendable thing to be doing? Let me know and thank you in advance. I greatly appreciate it. 

[Best quest to farm Christmas presents]

Thank you for the help. This seems pretty good and thank you

[Best quest to farm Christmas presents]

I'm getting back to Blue Burst again and thoroughly enjoying the 5x experience rate. Does anyone know what the best way to farm Christmas presents is and which quest? I'm happy to take advice and I look forward to any and all responses. Thank you in advance and happy holidays.

I have no idea what any of this means

There are also the Master Raven and Last Swan on this Valentine Event.

You gotta try getting MR with good stats for a later upgrade [the Item upgrader Is from another event], while the Last Swan combined with a Master Raven [make sure the MR has no good stats :v] to create Dual Bird, which Is as good as Mille (I think..) [also, try to get good stat on ls, I guess ;l ]

There's also the Heaven Striker, a handgun with rifle range and berserk special (unless you're wearing a striker unit during even third digit times),;second strongest handgun of the game (I think Lindcray Is the strongest, but not usable by rangers -_-)

How would I also get MR / LS?

[Do the retrieval quests ever give you the item mentioned?]

As I make my way up with my main character, do the retrieval quests that you can do ever give you the mentioned item? Or is it just a gauntlet with enemies?

What class ranger are you

Ramar, my fault for not adding

[Greenill ranger chasing new weapons as well as power]

As of writing, I am a level 112 greenill ranger chasing power as well as weapons. I need a better shotgun and I cant seem to locate anything to chase from here. I have a standard/shotgun/AoE gun to use, but where or what can I do to get a better weapon for this? I need a better AoE weapon that's realistic for me to obtain. Any recommendations or pointers? As the server being up many years and plenty of content it's hard to find up to date guides for ranger weapons. I can do up to Very Hard relatively easily. 

TL;DR please point me to find a better Aoe/Shotgun as a greenill ranger

The vanilla speed boost items are the same as they have been on gamecube here. Now there is an addition of Centurion/Battle that is insanely fast compared to anything vanilla BB or GC had to offer.

How would I get this centurion battle? And thank you as well. I was using a lower tiered version of the battle items on my character.

[What happened to the attack boosting items/gear?]

Were they ever toned down in a time you remember? And thanks for your help. I swear they were more noticeable some time ago

[What happened to the attack boosting items/gear?]

Howdy howdy, I got back on PSO because I really had nothing better to play. I equipped the general battle and v101/ but still remembering that they cannot stack to add the attack bonus. Now it doesn't seem like they effect anything at all, am I just stupid or did something drastic happen? Thank you to any advice or help with this in advance. I feel dumb.

If you have any specific questions about it too, just let me know

[Changed purplenum badge to greenill, still got an ophelie seize]

Were you in solo mode? Drops are determined by the room leader's ID, not each player's individual ID.  Just something to check before we dive into finding a bug that may just be a misunderstanding.

Ok that makes much more sense. I was in a game with my purplenum friend. My fault.

[Changed purplenum badge to greenill, still got an ophelie seize]

I'm just trying to grind for the heavenly battle and I got a purplenum (Ophelie size) drop yet my guild card says I'm greenill. What can I do to stop this from happening? For clarification I killed a pazuzu for the drop on very hard. And in game when I load in, it still mentions purplenum as my section id

Why can't people answer the question without feeling the need to mock the guy? The manliness is not with you.

Answer: If you want to experience the offline side of PSO while on this server, then play solo (One Player) mode. You can select that option upon creating a room. (Play Mode).

That being said. PSO never really was considered one of those (easy) games.

With the numerous exclusive weapons and changes this server has seen, the difficulty of the server needed to be boosted to an extent in order to balance the game. Especially considering how old this game is. Nearly everybody here has some form of experience with this game. So it would seem that most folks are in favor of the extra challenges. I doubt it could have been avoided. A GM told me one time that in episode 1 only monster HP has changed.

Either way, welcome to Ultima. Have fun wit it, and may the manliness be with you.

Feel free to let me know if you need help.

Thanks for defending me. When I get attacked for pointing out enemies that are sponges it's never fun. It would be a different story if they had base stats but did 2x as much damage, but they did more than just change one enemy. I'd rather have a voice discussion about this, and if you guys are up for it add me on discord. click2winipod#2761

noobs still complaining about Utlima...the subject never dies....THE GAME is free...THE GAME is challengingly fun....THE GAME makes alot of friends...point Made....i dont get why people complain

Because there isn't any other way to play the game, rather than a "newer" player to slog through it. No other difficulty modes which makes the game easier. My argument is game flow, and how easy it would be to transition. I'm not asking for no grind, I'm asking for an achievable one. I love rpgs. I don't want it to be easy either.

I could have sworn the game is only buffed in Ultimate lmao. Dude believe it or not but Hard has always been for the lack of a better term... HARD lol. It's just that players get here and get carried or get handouts that they shouldnt have in lower levels making the game look easier than it actually is. I know you only need to be level 20 to play Hard but even playing it at lvl 40-50 which is the minimum for the next level is way to low to be playing hard especially alone. The good thing about playing online is that you can play with others, i am sure there are other players who wouldnt mind playing it vanilla with you, if offered the chance.

But even on the gamecube and dreamcast version-(to some extent, monsters were harder in the dc version than the gc version) you could probably go to the next difficulty or area without any trouble. Independently. The hard part is getting to the next area, and getting better equipment. With rares, and handouts, it made the process quicker. The gap between normal ruins, and hard forest is gigantic. That's my problem. Even with a level 55~ ranger I was still struggling to kill things quickly. And a level 40~ Human hunter with a photon claw and a 45 pow and 50 dex mag, and normal ish equipment.

> Makes game harder for the challenge.

> Complains about game being too hard.

But it's not a fun kind of hard. A hard game would be fair but punishing, this is punishing and spongey. Literally the only work around is by not playing the game to achieve rares and taking items. That's avoiding the game for it being too "challenging"

[Why is hard so hard]

But isn't taking money from GMs avoiding playing the game to achieve that? 

 

[Why is hard so hard]

So uh apparently trying to independently clear hard w/o handouts and stuff is a chore with basic gear. Why is this a balance change without an option to take it off? I've always enjoyed progressing by myself. The new difficulty changes are incredibly spongey. Any ideas to help besides getting carried with items and help?
