Izaya Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hello everyone! I'm new to the server, I started playing 2 days ago. I know the game from dreamcast days, but that was ages ago and apparently alot of things changed. My ID is Whithill and I have a lvl 70 Racast at the moment. So some questions: 1. Is there a fast way to farm Power Mats/ Where can I find the most? 2. Are the any quests I should do as newbie? Any good quest rewards which are worth hunting? 3. Must have stuff as Racast (which I _realistically_ can get)? 4. Is there an event or something going on atm? 5. Are the monsters in single mode as strong as in Multi mode (I didn't really notice any difference)? 6. Anything else I need to know that's all for now. Thanks a lot to all the players who helped me out already! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandlebarsFakis Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 1. I think Greenill id can do a mission to earn mats fast 2. TTF and RT main mission to level up should be priority. 3. dark meteor is just amazing and isn't as unrealistic as you would think 4. Easter event starts in a few weeks 5. In single they are weaker 6. Welcome to the game i'm happy to have a new player learning to grow. i'll help as much as i can. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squish Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hey and welcome to Ultima. 1) Fastest way is to make a Greenil and farm Hildetorrs when rare monsters are active. 2) Best thing for you to do now is to just level up. Rewards wise are only sought out in Ultimate. Which is 90/100/110 on Ep1, 2 and 4 respectively. 3) Frozen Shooter, Spread Needle, a good Mech gun and a good Arms. That would suffice as the most basic of weapons. 4) Easter is coming on soon. 5) No they are not. They are weaker. 6) Make friends. Avoid drama. Find a good team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrewolf5 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Hello and Welcome to the Ultima Server. Most Materials drop on varying id's on normal difficulty, so it's easy to make a char solely for farming materials. The drop charts ( http://www.phantasystaronline.net/test/newsite/droptable.php ) will list where. Currently no event going on but easter event will start soon, events and mini events happen fairly often. Racast Gear I recommend: Frozen Shooter 30+ hit (whitill hildetorr ep 1 ultimate drops it, or black paper deal), Snow Queen (no combo pierces, use photon booster on frozen shooter) Spread Needle 30+ hit (bpd, redria chaos bringers ult, purple/green la dimenians ult, upgrades to Arrest Needle with easter event item Proof of Sonic Team), Charge Vulcans 40+ hit , or yasminkov 9000 w/ charge and hit, (for single target dps) Baranz Launcher 50 hit or Charge Arms 40+ hit, or Charge Gugnir 40+ hit, or Ultima Reaper (multi-target dps) Hell Laser 40+ hit, or Hell handgun 40+ hit, or Yasminkov 7000 w/ hell and hit, or Asteron Striker w/ hit, Ultima Reaper on lizards Gush Laser 40+ hit, Gush Handgun 40+ hit, Guld Milla, Yasminkov 9000 w/ gush and hit, usually only needed when soloing with no support Red Ring (whitill dark falz ult), Cannon Rouge 40+hit (Greenil Dorphon Eclair ult ep 4), for those pesky high dfp no zalure bosses and vol opt 1 Master Raven (single target dps no buffs, black paper deal drop only), alternatively Mille Marteux (combine heaven punisher blueful hildetorr + ophelie seize pazuzu),or Rage de Feu (because it looks awesome), Guld Milla, Psycho Ravens (use summer event black crystal on master raven) Bringer's Rifle 50 hit (demons). or Slicer of Fanatic (demons), or yasminkov 9000 w/ demons and high hit Diska of Braveman 40+ hit (especially with good %s and thirteen armor from bpd, whitill hildetorr ep 2 very hard) Excalibur (because it's Excalibur. skyly/oran dorphon ult ep 4, whitill kondrieu ult ep 4) Dark Meteor (mostly for bosses) Some other weapon I'm probably forgetting Most are not that difficult to acquire. Rare monsters will help when it's on (green names in lobby). Aside from rare monsters there are also x5 exp events, and happy hour for x3 drops for 3 hours. There are also 2 specific quests with prizes (http://www.phantasystaronline.net/test/newsite/quest_drops.php) that may be useful for gearing. Black Paper Deal 1 and 2 are single player ep 4 quests where you trade 1 photon crystal (ep 4 normal and hard rare monsters) to participate in monster battle arena to win blank rares (all 0%s) based on difficulty and route. Photon Crystals can also add hit to weapons made from enemy parts, such as the previously mentioned baranz launcher and bringers rifle, apporximately 50 pcs for 50 hit. The Restless Lion is another single player ep 4 quest where you fight other hunters and take their weapons, which always spawn with 2 50%s and 0, 30, or 50 hit, i.e. the ramarl in second room might drop hell laser 50 0 0 50 50 for you on ultimate difficulty. Or arrest laser 50 50 0 0 30. Or tempest laser 0 50 50 0 0. As these quests are in One Player mode, the monsters are weaker than in the normal Multiplayer mode. Other notable quests are Towards the Future (TTF ep 1 boss rush, good early exp), Respective Tommorow (RT ep 2 boss rush good lategame exp), Point of Disaster (ep 4 boss rush), Wrath of Forest(WoF), Forest Offensive(lots of hildetorrs followed by dragon and a simulator with lots of chaos bringers to win solferino/tp material), Path to Salvation (PTS lots of mobs in ruins in secret room, run around lasers, tons of exp). There's many more interesting quests to be discovered too, and a few do have quest rewards such as Yasminkov 9000 w/hit is a prize for the Raid on Central Tower quest (ROCT), but this is an extremely difficult quest for high level players..
