Skill Ring Grinding
Skill Ring Grinding
- You can grind Skill Rings at the Item Lab.
- Skill Ring Grinding requires materials and grinders.
- You can select which stat’s grind values you wish to increase prior to grinding L-rings.
- S-ATK, T-ATK, or DEX were given in one of the examples.
- Each Ring has a Ring EXP value.
- You can increase its EXP by defeating enemies while the ring is equipped.
- Increasing the Ring’s EXP, increases the number of possible grinds you can perform on the ring.

Alright, where the hell are our new PAs?
Safe guess would be somewhere after June.
Still waiting for my ep4 Matoi outfit
Wow.
The more I see of Episode 4, the worse it gets.
Wait, it can get worse…? Then again… if they can make such a plot happen…maybe it can..
Do they even care anymore..? That EP4 “connection” is just a recap of 5 episodes and the opening.
People have been complaining about anime cliches and terrible plot during ep1. Its four years of being surprised that water is wet.
All we need now is a class trip to Kyoto and the list of anime cliches is complete!
Dude that’s super optional, the atheltic and culture festivals are the big must-haves! o3o
It’s funny. Earlier I was just discussing about the possibility of other pets on Reddit. And here they come! It’s interesting what they’re doing with these new ones, btw. And I’m very disappointed that that little boy’s sweater won’t be wearable with bare legs for men… What’s even the point, then?
ikr
i wanted to get that sweater only because of that, but why would i even get it? (i will still get it tho damit sega)
Idk, pretty sure that shirt’s outerwear. If you looks closely the female version isn’t exactly going barefoot either.
I’m guessing we should be getting some kinda bare-legged basewear for men by the summer at the latest, so be patient with your shota fetish needs I guess? :v
I’m having a problem, my pso2proxy is enabled, but i can’t connect to the server. It says :” Server connection timed out” . Can someone help me? Thanks.
Turn off your antiviruse software and re-enter the proxy address. Server proxy isn’t saved and needs to be re-entered every-time you load the tweaker. Antiviruse software will block changes being made to the syshost file
So summoner with get a crapload of “weapons” while the other classes are stuck with what they have, adding the fact they forgot completely about PA crafting.
Also seems like every outfit will be layered from now on except maybe collabs (altough if sega owns the collab material maybe they will pul layers on those as well)
These aren’t pets. They’re just prinnies.
If that’s their idea, then maybe it’s good we don’t have any PA-related thing yet.
Would be kinda normal for the new class to get stuff added fast so as to round them out properly you know…
Shhhhhhh…
Get your logic out of here.
other classes don’t run into battle and get their weapons killed, so….
Nice new stuff
wonder how many millions those outfits will cost
lol
well its not SEA so it will be affordable :3
>gathering only in four areas
one wonders how long they plan to dodder about before making it an option in more places. and seriously. no mining stuff in caves or complex is pretty silly. those would be like. the obvious spots to go for minerals.
as for that scratch, uh… sega really needs to stop trying to realworld fashion, because they’re not good at it.
is the anime’s site romanizing “koori” (コkoオoリri) as “kohri”? game companies and being bad at romanization…
If by “caves” you mean the Amduscia surface, it’d arguably be rather too unstable and volatile for that (and the Magical Magnetism of the place prolly screws with equipement anyway). And if by “complex” you mean the Lillipa tunnels, wot. That’s self-evidently the portions that were mined out long ago and turned into infrastructure for the actual mineheads (wherever the fig *those* now are).
…don’t ask me wtf we’re supposed to be foraging in Tokyo though. Orphaned cellphones and old manga?
( ´◔ ‸◔’)
I got nuttin’.
I guess the “Find rare minerals” and the “Use the drill machines when glowing” arks quests in those 2 areas must be wrong then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
if by caves, yes, I do mean volcanic cavern. the first area of amu-amu-amumumu amduscia. and what are you on about, too unstable. if that dump was so unstable you couldn’t smack a rock off any of those protruding formations we’d have all drowned in lava the first time ol’ trogdor went for a dive to build up his lava armor. or even noodledragon going for a dive.
by complex I do indeed mean the place the game calls “UNDERGROUND COMPLEX” in english when you visit it during the story. there seem to be quite a few bins full of rocks and such strewn about. there’s no telling just what state those things were in when the civilization that built the place died out, thus it’s worth a look. and are you forgetting the “weather” effect that periodically has shiny mineral dusts fill the air? it’s got to come from somewhere, and it’s got to settle somewhere. dust settles, it’s what it does.
why would you call it tunnels after looking at it, anyway. there’s nothing even tunnel-like about it. more of a giant cavern than a tunnel.
“Amduscia”. As in King Amduscias (also “Amdusias” and several other spellings) of the Ars Goetia fame. (Other names that might ting a bell therein are Marquis Naberius and Duke Vepar.
Also you have to dodge random rockfalls and magma eruptions just *walking around there*. That sounds pretty damn unstable to me…
And whatever the big dragons do sure af isn’t any kind of normal digging, they basically just dive into the ground like it was freaking water. Buggers probably use some kinda specialised photon majick trick to pretty much turn the rock semi-liquid or smth. And seeing as how they’re native to the environment they presumably have some means of sensing the local geology (prolly related to the strong Magical Magnetism of the planet) and, you know, not bury themselves under a massive cave-in by accident.
Could also be theorised the ARKS are deliberately limiting gathering of whatever local minerals might be found near the surface in for diplomatic reasons, ie. so as to not annoy the uninfected Dragonkin who only reluctantly tolerate their presence there due to the Darker problem…
“Subterranean Tunnels”, sometimes “Underworks”, is what the Eng patches call the Lillipan underground. Deal with it.
Also, place looks like mostly mothballed transport infra at best; the piles of whatever lying around are likely mostly slag and other detritus. (The Lilli UQ zone would presumably be what the system looks like fully functional and powered.) Not really promising for resource foragning, and the Collection e-codes would arguably largely cover what useful traces are left.
And does that mapset even spawn the mining-machine e-code? I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen it there…
maybe fishing the small lake in the park?…
hope we can fish in lava one day…lava tuna
Been waiting for that Hitsugi hair ever since I saw her.
Fuh… Still no clue of where is Matoi.
… I’m missing this girl in the lobby and Quna too.
… Hey Quna, didn’t you wrote SOME NEW SONGS IN TWO YEARS TOO? (Oops sorry.)
Anyway, I wish the Storyboard parts were released more often than that. These things can be completed in an hour, worst than Matterboards with 100%…
Matoi’s prolly still stuffed into the fridge or smth.
I guess so, too. That, or maybe she went with Sukunahime? Doesn’t she give the idea to Matoi in a past Matterboard or something like that?
there may be some interesting points regarding the gathering update stuff in 4gamer’s article about the sapporo event and the screenshots therein: http://www.4gamer.net/games/120/G012075/20160212063/
of course, it’s in .jp, so…
Should be up tonight.
☞skill ring dedicated to further trying to fix sword gear
let’s be honest, neither partisan or wiredlance have major issues related to needing gear like sword does; this is another case where sega is admitting to a problem but being too stubborn to fix it directly. it’s actually rather annoying how they do that so often.
maidoll tends to depict sword gear as a ball n’ chain in her four panel comics, and hunter gearboost as a rollerskate under it. I wonder how she’ll depict this ring, as sega makes sword HU have to give up interesting upgrades in order to try to fix something that sega should globally fix to begin with. kinda like gearboost, where you have to burn five points to again fix something that sega should just fix from the ground up, while other classes/weapons suffer far less with gear maintenance.
maybe we’ll be lucky and have sega give us a second slot per ring type (L/R) before the year is out.
then again, I’m still waiting for them to give subunits a legitimate function as equipment.
Skill ring UI window is twice as wide to fit extra ring pair.
But we should focus on having seventeen dedicated people that could simultaneously draw self-derogatory comics about how their preferable weapon/class is bad. Maybe that way it will become obvious that absolutely all aspects of this weapon system are broken and abandoned, no matter how many lazy uninspired dripfed updates Sega throws at us in between bath scenes about summoner?
phew. Did I get all meta in one post, or there is still something missing?
>F.Gear Boost
>Band-aid skill for sword gear only
Sure, k.
Really hope that’s not it for L rings
It’s not. Here’s a list an enterprising fellow on pso-w compiled: http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3334773&postcount=28
…and given that what’s known thus far clearly doesn’t cover all the classes I’d be rather surprised if there wasn’t more coming.
