Gallon's Shop: Hit upgrade

[R-78]

Donation Tickets are no longer the only permanent way to upgrade Hit% on your weapons.

The quest Gallon's Shop was edited to also allow Hit enhancement.

 

 

 

 

Limitations

 

Hit upgrades follow the same rules as Donation Ticket redeems.

• Hit cannot exceed the upgrade limit of 80%
• Hit cannot be added to weapons that already have 3 attributes
• Hit cannot be added to sealed weapons with 2 attributes (Lame d'Argent and Sealed J-Sword)
• Hit cannot be added to ES weapons
• Hit cannot be added to untekked weapons
• There is no refund so make sure you select the right weapon

 

 

 

Prices

 

The prices are the following:

• 1 Photon Sphere for 10% Hit
• 60 Photon Drops for 5% Hit

 

 

 

 

Prerequisites

 

The condition to unlock Hit upgrade option in Gallon's Shop is the same as the one for attributes upgrade.

You must clear Paganini sidequests in the Tower quests.

 

 

As a reminder, here are the steps to follow:

1. Episode 2 => Tower => The East Tower
   1. Talk to Hopkins on Pioneer II (see picture above), he should bring you to his father
   2. Go to Central Control Area and reach the final Control Tower room
   3. After killing Epsilon, get the data from the computer
   4. Go back to Hopkins and give data to his father (you can /lobby right after)
2. Episode 2 => Tower => The West Tower
   1. Talk to Hopkins, who must bring you to his father
   2. Go to Seabed Upper Levels
   3. Explore the map until you find a console in a small room (there are 3 possible spots)
   4. Get the data from the console
   5. Go back to Hopkins and give data to Paganini (no need to clear the quest or even go to Control Tower)
3. Episode 2 => Shop => Gallon's Shop
   1. Bring the required material (your weapons and Photon drops / Photon spheres)
   2. Talk to Hopkins
   3. Select Enhance Weapon's Accuracy, then desired option and weapon

 

• Each of the 3 quests can be done in any difficulty, but must be done on the same character.
• Paganini sidequest (steps 1+2) only needs to be done once to unlock the weapons upgrades for good.
• All 3 quests are on Episode 2 multiplayer mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please if you find any glitch or typo, report it to me.

 

Also, Paganini NPC was removed from Lemon's Shop due to recent exploits.

This is amazing!! I always wished this would be possible. Thanks to everyone involved ❤️

I am curious, how were they exploiting Lemons quest?

The vanilla way:

In Gallon's Shop, get 99 Photon Drops, talk to Paganini, select Exchange for an item, then accept as soon as he offers a Photon Sphere to trade.

Not going into details for obvious reasons.

But stacks of 99 spheres were made from that exploit.

You can thank Soly for server side checks.

I did the quest scripting part.

 

[Flerbert]

Any chance of the PS->99pds exchange being added to his menu eventually or was that the problematic part with the Lemon's npc? Was handy for trades and when sphering things above 70%.

This is super cool.  Might have to hop on and burn my Photon Spheres 😀

Both exchanges could be exploited, one was just faster than the other one.

Making it uncheatable requires server side changes and I don't know if we'd want to deal with that, so I can't promise anything.

For now consider it's no longer possible to revert Photon Spheres back to Photon Drops.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Shiida bringing hit additions and yearly event drops can we give a shout out to her! 🤩🥳

⚠️Important⚠️

 

There is currently a bug that appears under these 3 conditions together:

• You are adding % to a weapon in Gallon's Shop
• You have exactly the amount of Photon Drops/Sphere required (1 PS, 60 PDs, 20 PDs or 4 PDs)
• Your Photon item is located above the redeemed weapon in inventory

When doing so, the wrong item is upgraded and it may disconnect you.

This applies to hit as well as any other attributes.

 

 

In other words,

For the time being, until Soly can fix it:

When adding % in Gallon's Shop, whenever you have exactly 1 Photon Sphere or 60/20/4 Photon Drops left (whichever amount you're redeeming), make sure your Photon Drops or Photon Sphere are at the end of your inventory before upgrading.

(and remember weapons automatically go to the end of inventory after upgrade, which means if you have 2 PS and are going to sphere a same weapon twice, you necessarily will have to sort your inventory before the second upgrade)

 

 

 

I decided not to remove the quest so that players are not stuck without the ability to upgrade weapons, so please be careful.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Lots of thanks to @Flerbert for finding the cause of the glitch.

 

 

If you lost items that way, feel free to message Soly to recover them.

Otherwise I will message each of you to help recovering once Soly sends me the Gallon logs (until then I cannot help with lost items).

I wonder If part of the cause Involved how we were able to clearly see how one was able to watch how they were converted on the addons  It was visualizable how the photon drops went from 99 to 0 and then a Photon Sphere popped up  

 

...... wait a minute 

 

Don't tell me they closed the game right after they accepted the trade, causing the PDs from going from 99 to 0 to stop and still somehow receiving the Photon Sphere!?  (or something like that... like, doing It the other way around: when trading Photon Sphere for Photon Drops... although I don't remember If It took the Photon Sphere first then start giving Photon Drops from 0 to 99, or If It had to receive the Photon Drops first before disappearing the Photon Sphere )
