Hello, I've just kind of accumulated a bunch of questions after playing for a couple weeks.  I searched on the forums for answers to a couple questions but I didn't find what I was looking for.  Of course, I might have just not been searching with the correct key terms.

Anyways here are my questions:

1. I was raising a mag and I gave it to my Ranger in order to get Estilla, and then I handed it off to my hunter in order to get Pilla and then later Mylla and Youlla.  However, when the mag hit level 35, it didn't switch to the Hunter mag branch and just stayed on the Ranger mag branch.  Is there anyway to switch mag branches? Also if I just only cared about the photon blasts it wouldn't be an issue, but of course I want specific stats.

2. I've played through hard mode and I have found no monster parts anywhere.  Do I just have bad luck?

3. What exactly is happy hour?  I've heard that it's 5x exp and 3x drops, but it seems like exp is always set to 5x.

4. Where do I exchange Photon Drops?  I've only ever played offline on the Gamecube so I used to just sell Photon Drops but I'm pretty sure I can do something with them.

5. What are Photon Tickets for?

6. If Pinkal sets up a party, are all the drops for the party set to the Pinkal section ID?

Sorry for all the random questions, and if I just need to look harder for answers just let me know!  Thank you for your time.

1) Only the 2nd stage mag (level 35 evolution) is dependent on your position in the tree.  All other evolution are only dependent on the feeding character's class and the mag stats.   Not sure if that answers your question or not.  You can read up more on mags here: http://pso.wikia.com/wiki/MAG

2) yes

3) Happy hour is 3x drop rates for rare item (from the drop table) for 3 hours.  Green names is increased rare monster spawn rate.  5x exp does not have a visual indicator, but is not related to either of those two.  All three and independent of each other, though they often overlap during events.

4) Photon Drops can be exchanged in Gallon's Shop after doing East and West Tower missions by talking to the fat guy by the telepipes.  Or you can trade them with other players. Or you can exchange them for a Photon Sphere (99pd for 1ps) in Lemon's Shop.

5) No idea

6) For as long as that Pinkal remains in the party, all drops for all players in that party will be from the pinkal drop table.  If they were to leave the game, it follows the order by which people originally entered the party.  So if someone else then joins and is placed in Red slot, it won't switch to their id.

Aren't photon tickets tradeable for the stealth suit? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that you need 10 for stealth suit, 15 for lollipop and 20 for Kanei Tsuho. I don't remember which quest you trade them (I think it's gallon plan).

As far as I know, the suit is the best option because of its high evp (also the transparent animation is cool)

It's the other way around, 20 for stealth suit, and 10 for lollipop iirc. It is in "Gallon's Plan" which is an ep1 1p quest (you can get 2 tickets on vhard/ult, and 1 ticket on normal/hard). Pretty short to run though.
Stealth suit has 1dfp, 300evp, and 0 resists. The evp is very high on it, and low dfp is mitigated by just having good dodging and jellen so it's a bit moot. It's possible to play around having low dark resist too (the main resist you would get from armor). The real reason it's one of the top tier options though is because the unique effect of making you transparent has a side effect of removing weapon switch delay. It is impossible to slingshot bullets when you wear stealth suit, as you don't have to wait for your weapon model to load in after switching weapons and can instantly fire them. Normally, if you switch to a weapon and fire before the model has loaded in, your bullets do not fire correctly, delaying by 5-10 seconds and then flying in from point 0, 0 instead of from your actual char, often missing because of the weird angle. If you are a good player, then stealth suit lets you quite literally play faster, by being able to switch weapons faster as the situation calls for it. You also can't see any sprites when looking through your transparent body, so you can look through locked doors haha.
