If you play in one person game mode the game is easier. Online mode is a bit "buffed" and can be harder. Make sure to work on your mag while leveling.

Frozen shooter can be really really handy specially on enemies that knock you down but there are a few other weapons that do a good job freezing or paralyzing enemies.

Hmm that Leveling Guide is probably not very accurate for a couple reasons. Ultima has buffed exp rates, buffed monsters in ultimate difficulty, and higher level requirement for ultimate difficulty (lvl 90 for ep 1 ultimate, 100 for ep 2, 110 for ep 4). Generally people powerlevel a lot on this server using boss rush quests. Also don't neglect to feed your mag (I recommend going for 5/137/58/0 on ramar, antidotes to 50, dimates 50-200. When it hits 49 ask around for someone to help you evolve a mag for twins pb)

That ranger guide also isn't very good. While pso-world is a good place to pull numbers from and look up info on, it is notoriously bad on subjective opinion issues.

Mechguns are the most damaging weapons for any class hands down. They are incredibly powerful, and ultima allows players to add specials to Yasminkov 9000M, which are rifle range mechguns (look like a pair of uzi), which are very popular. With charge special, hit%, and good buffs they are the strongest weapons in the game. Demon's (reduce current hp by 75%, or 45% if playing as robot) is also a popular special on them. Frozen Shooter is still an amazing ranger weapon, the special attack is a 100% freeze and that is far, far too useful to not have. I'm going to repurpose a previous post of mine of ranger gear I've listed for this.

For freeze

Frozen Shooter 30+ hit (whitill/purple hildetorr ep 1 ultimate drops it), Snow Queen (no combo pierces, use photon booster on frozen shooter)

For arrest

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), holy ray (requires 680 mst), ano rifle, arrest laser, arrest raygun

for single target dps with buffs

Charge Vulcans 40+ hit , or yasminkov 9000 w/ charge and hit,

for single target dps w/out buffs

heaven striker (high atp autotarget berserk), Psycho Ravens (use summer event psycho black crystal on master raven), 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 (unreduced gush), Cannon Rouge 40+hit (Bazooka, Greenil Dorphon Eclair ult ep 4),

for multi-target dps

Baranz Launcher 50+ hit or Charge Arms 40+ hit, or Charge Gugnir 40+ hit, Ultima Reaper, Iron Faust(racast/racaseal only), Arrest Needle, Diska of Braveman 40+ hit (especially with good %s and thirteen armor from bpd, whitill hildetorr ep 2 very hard)

for hell

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

for hp steal

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 for +20 ata over max (whitill dark falz ult 1/57),

for demon's

Bringer's Rifle 50 hit (demons). or Slicer of Fanatic (demons), or yasminkov 9000 w/ demons and high hit

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.phantasys...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..
