Try doing the quest with dr montague again in normal mode (to be fast). Talk to montague until he repeats himself. Finish the quest. Then do claire's deals in normal mode. I've had to do this before with characters to get the option to come up. Sometimes it can be picky. Also make sure you have PCs and the actual enemy weapon (not the enemy part) in your inventory when you talk to montague. To be safe, this is what you should be doing.

Adding hit can be a bit picky... Make sure you do these two things: In government quest (I think it's 9-5 or 9-6) when you see Dr. Montegue and elenor together, talk to both of them repeatedly until they start repeating themself. Then finish the quest. Make sure the difficulty of claire's deals is the same difficulty you were in when you talked to Dr. Montegue. Then he should be willing to add hit. It's all in japanese, so make sure you follow the link in the first post of this thread for how to add the hit %. This should work. If it doesn't, maybe I can collect PCs and PDs to give you special 50 hit booma claw.

The prizes are not very good. The only reason to do them is for learning how to do something new. No one uses works guard or green ring.

Which weapons are you referring to from black paper that need improvements? Most of them cannot have specials added to them (as specials can only be added to weapons that do not already have one). If you're talking about adding hit, that's an entirely different matter. To even consider doing this, it would need to be challenging and limited to not cause imbalance to the server (unless it was to weapons that are not very powerful). And if this is the case, I'm not sure it would really help newer players like you are suggesting. If you do have a suggestion of how to benefit everyone better, let me know. We're always getting feedback from the community for ideas. Side note, this is the first mini event where we have charged 10pds for a special (normally it's always 20pds). One of the reasons we did this and with booma claws is because they are very, very easy to obtain. Anyone complaining about adding 50 hit to a booma claw during a rare monster event must not know how easy it is to obtain photon crystals right now. An hour of PC hunts = 50 hit on booma claw. There are also quests to earn PDs. A new player could do all of this on normal and hard mode.

Two spanish translations. ^^ Thanks guys. At least this way if one of you screwed up, the other will be correct haha!

Update 10/21/2013 - Due to a lot of users experiencing bugs, I will extend the event through Thursday, 10/24/2013. For those who got bugged, you now have through Sunday 10/27/2013. If your bug is still not fixed after 10/27, feel free to send me a forum PM to request your special (though Andres is really fast... You aren't likely to be bugged for that long). Special Halloween Mini Event: Flowens and Claws of Death Enough users are asking questions that I feel this deserves a proper topic. You can add specials to a few weapons until Sunday, 10/20/2013. About the Event "Flowens sword sucks." "Claw weapons suck." These are things people normally say. For a limited time, let's make them not suck. Why not have a flowens that rivals a Zanba? Why not have a claw that rivals more powerful and rare weapons? Well now you can! For 10pds, you can add a special to: 50 hit Booma Claw 50 hit Gobooma Claw 50 hit Gigabooma Claw For 20pds you can add a special to: Morning Glory Flowens Sword AUW 3064 Flowens Sword AUW 3067 Flowens Sword AUW 3073 Flowens Sword AUW 3077 Flowens Sword AUW 3082 Flowens Sword AUW 3083 Flowens Sword AUW 3079 Specials you can add: Arrest Berserk Blizzard Burning Chaos Charge Demons Geist Gush Hell Kings Spirit Tempest How to redeem: Find a GM in game. You'll know they are a GM if their name is blue. Simply ask for a special on your claw or flowens. Bring photon drops and the weapon to exchange for special mini-event loot. The GM will magically add the special for you. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Can I add specials to my yasminkovs/type m weapons/nug bazooka? A: No. This weapon is only for flowens and the claws listed above. There will be other mini events where you can add specials to guns. Q: Can I add zalure to my weapons? A: No. The game only allows you to do that with s-ranks. Get an s-rank weapon. Q: How long does the event last for? Sunday is the last day (10/20/2013) Q: Why does the booma claw need 50 hit? A: Once I add a special to the weapon, Dr. Montegue will not recognize it as an enemy weapon anymore. If you try to add hit in claire's deals, he will not let you. Asking for 50 hit up front prevents people complaining later that they cannot add hit in game. The only way to add hit to a special booma claw is through donations to the server. Q: I can add hit to enemy weapons??? How? A: See this guide. Since rare monsters are on, it's really easy to find photon crystals to add hit to your booma claws. You have a few days to do this. Q: Why can't I add special to other flowens besides the ones listed above? Non "AUW" Flowens is too common. We can't have 900 flowens on the server with specials. Flowens AUW 3084 already has spirit on it, so if I added a special to that it wouldn't work. Q: Is booma claw with special actually good? A: You tell me xD Q: Is flowens with special any good? A: You tell me! xD Q: After the event ends, can I add specials to these items in Gallon's Shop? A: No. That only works for s-rank weapons. Q: I don't have enough photon drops or a weapon to add a special to. When can I do this again? A: If this event is a success, we may choose to do it again in a few months. We'll see. For now, get hunting and trading. Q: Will you ever do additional weapons that we haven't added specials to before? A: Flower bouquet is hilarious with charge. This alone is motivation to add specials to new weapons. If someone can add a Spanish translation, I would appreciate it.

Mines, ruins, and seabeds are already hard enough for most hunters and forces. The quest idea seems like the better option. It offers a challenge without making ULT too frustrating for players without amazing weapons for hunting items.

Insanely hard quests with rewards at the end would be awesome. ^^

Done. Both issues are fixed. Stop getting bugs. xD

Yeah... Joking aside, I prefer P wand to dark bridge. No confusion/paralysis/freeze/etc, same TP saving benefits, more useful tech boosts. And if you know how to do shambertin without grants, it's far faster at killing shambertin (as he won't run back into cave if you only use GI/RA techs). So in order to be more useful, it really does need a boost and to remove the status effects. Otherwise its only purpose is "look at me. I'm rich. I can afford to use a PGF on this crap... Hold that thought. I'm confused. Now I'm paralyized, wow but I look cool while sucking."

He posted "for real this time" because he already posted he was quitting like a month ago. Posting multiple quitting topics probably is worse for credibility than the wording. Side note... Why is me being a troll the first thing you said in this topic, pushan? Hahahaha

LOL

People will complain until we make DM for forces, then people will complain that we made DM for forces.

If you had one, would you use it instead of playing pso2?

If there is a security flaw with users handling this, we could implement something like 5pds payment to a GM to move characters or slots for people. Just a thought.

If it were up to me, this is what I would suggest: Longer zalure range so that it's as good as glide for debuffing range 100% grants boost (200% with hylian and DB) This would not be overpowered since grants is slow and only hits one target. Remove random confusion/freeze/paralysis, etc. I don't think we can totally remove hp drainage, as that might be hard coded into the game. Either change special to something useful like penetrating megid 30 or change animation to be partisan so the zerk can hit multiple targets. Frankly, however, I think charge would be much better than zerk considering horrific force HP. No one would be upset as I have never seen a force zerking with dark bridge. If possible (but I don't think it is), reduce tp by 75% instead of 50% so that it's more efficient than psycho wand. I would not change from the three techs that the weapon currently has, as people who have wasted a PGF creating dark bridge would not be happy to find out that they no longer have megid penetration or grants boosts because we randomly decided to screw with people and change the boosts to something totally new. Bottom line, however, it's not up to me.

What I think we can do is stuff like: Make zalure range longer (like glide) Make grants boost greater (like hylian) Change weapon animation to be like a sword so hit hits multiple targets when zerking Remove random confusion/freeze/paralysis, etc Change numbers of defense/evasion/etc boosts What we cannot do: Completely change the weapon Add more than 3 techniques to boost Add things that do not exist natively in the game Crazy boosts like 500% gifoie (like broken hylian) Divine punishment

The code of the game cannot do this. It only has room in the code to boost THREE techs.

It can only boost 3 techniques. Currently we have grants, zalure, megid. Special is currently zerk. Are you suggesting special be anti 7? (Zerk does suck horribly.) I should clarify that me asking the community for feedback does not mean dark bridge will change. But it would help to know what people like and do not like in the event we ever consider changing it.

I so knew this was going to come up when we gave this shield awesome stats. What "reasonable" improvements do you guys suggest? Don't say divine punishment, 500% boosts, etc. There's no anything crazy is going to happen to it.

Try not using the common back for a few weeks and see if your luck changes. I used to get corrupted all the time. When I stopped using the common bank, I have had almost zero issues since. (Though I need a lot more items in game to avoid large transfers.) If you ever need help transfering to avoid using common bank, let me know.

Two things : 1 - you have to play Claires deal in the same difficulty that you beat 9-5 in. 2 - you need to talk to Dr montegue in 9-5 until he starts to repeat himself. After doing those things, you should be able to add hit.

And no shifta

It's official. Xander's curse is now contagious. :-\

Should I invent a 4th prize? xD
