Annath Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 So after reading up a bit, I think I understand the concept of MAGs and how they work: They provide stat buffs to your character based on their stats, they have an attack ability that charges up, they increase in level and get new stats based on what you feed them, and they can evolve into new forms based on their stats. My question is, as a new player, how do I know what kind of MAG is most effective for me? I see all sorts of guides for how to get a particular MAG form, but I'm not sure on how I decide what form I should be going for in the first place. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Orukei Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) To reach certain max stats you should get a specific trained MAG. But if your new, just train it to the mag. If your a hunter/Ranger try something like a 5/145/50/0 If your a FO try something like 5/0/0/195/ It it hard to train a MAG perfect but there are enough guides for this. Also, if you get some currency (photon drops or donation tickets) Photon drops are in game and donation tickets are on forum, 1DT = 7PD-ish @JADE sells mags for good prices, you can hit her up. Hope this helps Edited October 29, 2019 by Orukei 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigunman Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) If you have downloaded the mag simulator program Magatama Beta9 that I linked for you in your last thread, you'll find it also has a MagDex in it. This has stats and info on nearly every mag in the game, save the Love Rappy.(server exclusive) With this, you can see the mags possible PB bursts, it's feeding tables and it's possible actions at near death/10% health, at character death, enter a boss room or at 100% PB energy. Mags like Sato, Nidra, Tellusis, Soniti and Love Rappy all have nearly all Invulnerability actions and even Reverser at death. This makes for a great mag for many characters, namely for HUs and FOs, Satos are particularly valued for this as well as being ahem, "super cute." The main thing you want to look for is whether or not how easy it is to get Twins/Mylla & Youlla and what the mag's actions are at the above circumstances. This is particularly useful for characters who cannot cast shifta and deband, like HUmars and Casts in general. It's stats are purely what you wish them to be, save 5 def, unless you get a PPP mag that has completely zero stats. Above all, you must raise the mag's stats exactly as Magatama shows to in order to get the mag to evolve into what you want it to be, save of course with some you'll need a mag cell to trigger it's evolution. Other than that, you'd need to refer to a mag guide to see how to trigger it's evolutions to the final mag form you want. Also take note, you may need someone to help you with this if you don't have the right character class or section ID to trigger a certain mag evolution. Hope this helps, good luck!

kinso05 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 as a new player I would suggest you buy your first mag.. its a long tedious task to perfect train one, especially as a new player.. you don't wanna be alt tabbing to check a guide all the time, focus on leveling and when you are strong enough spam Int. Defense Systems quest for photon drops if you have the patience... its around 15PD for a mag from @JADE this can be as few as 15 runs or as many as 30 its RNG but the drop rate is roughly 70% from the hidden box on the quest. Here is a guide for the hidden box: note: not my video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System7 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Hey, sorry for my total dumbkoff ignorance here, but I hardly understand much of what is being said. From a comment in this thread: If your a hunter/Ranger try something like a 5/145/50/0 If your a FO try something like 5/0/0/195/ -What are those numbers? Are they the levels for each mag characteristic - DEX, POWER, DEX, MIND???? -My character is a big clunky robot called a "RAcast", and the ID is "Whitill". Does anyone know what either (or both) of those terms mean???? Thanks for any information on this But in case anyone else stumbles across this thread, I found this link online and found that it answered so many questions I had about mags, and informed me on things I did not know: https://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1034 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say mag , so common sense would say they are talking about mags , and stats would then apply to mags. Ra stands for ranger and id would correspond to what type of mag can evolve for said ID's . The link you have provided does not explain this here is a link where you can see what id will evolve mag etc . https://pso.fandom.com/wiki/MAG best of luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System7 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 thank you for this information! by the way, Zandres, I played on the Dreamcast system so long ago....did that precede GameCube? I think so, by 2 years at most, perhaps. I think it was the year 2000. Wow...that was amazing at the time. If I were to stay on late enough, I'd run into players from Japan who were logging in. Some weekends, you could NOT even get into the game! It was incredibly busy and there was no room on the server! After maybe 1 1/2 years or less, that all went downhill in a hurry - the sharks and FSOD made it miserable. Gone were the crowds of colorful characters, created by users across the globe, and the fun of a four-person quests, etc. I digress! haha But thank you both for your input on this, and thanks, Zandres for that .pdf.... I will read it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
