A Mission Code!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Infinity Missions are VR missions, so in this case, Moatoob enemies can appear on Parum's field. To start the process of creating an Infinity Mission you must first acquire a mission code. You can <strong><span style=\"color: #ee1060;\">get a mission code<\/span><\/strong> by various means such as through <strong><span style=\"color: #ee1060;\">titles<\/span><\/strong>, by <strong><span style=\"color: #ee1060;\">trading them<\/span><\/strong>, or <strong><span style=\"color: #ee1060;\">downloading<\/span><\/strong> or finding them. For example, by preordering the game you get a (Bonds Mission Code) Kizuna Mission Code.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"pinkbar\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Composition of a Mission Code<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mission codes contain four pieces of data:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Boss who appears &lt;\u51fa\u73fe\u30dc\u30b9&gt;<\/li>\n<li>The Enemies&nbsp; &lt;\u51fa\u73fe\u30e2\u30f3\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u7cfb\u7d71&gt;<\/li>\n<li>The Field (Area) &lt;\u30a8\u30ea\u30a2&gt;<\/li>\n<li>Special Effects&nbsp; &lt;\u7279\u6b8a\u52b9\u679c&gt;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"pinkbar\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Special Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some examples of Special effects are, \"Monsters have Low HP\" or \"Weapons of Fire Attributes drop easily.\" The strength of the special effect is based on it's own level, and you can hold up to 5 within one mission code.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There's also negative special effects as well, for example, \"Enemy's ATK power increase\" and \"Enemy's HP increase\".<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When one synthesizes (creates) a mission code, the effectiveness of a  special effect can rise, new special effects are added, and some special  effects can disappear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">During synthesis, when two negative special effects combine, they can cancel each other out.

The first slot is called the \"Base Mission\". In the \"Base Mission\" slot, you set a mission code which will control what field you will play on.&nbsp; The second slot is called the \"Plus Mission\" . This slot controls what boss you will fight. For example:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/base-and-plus-mission.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5984\" title=\"base and plus mission\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/base-and-plus-mission-300x170.jpg?resize=300%2C170\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/base-and-plus-mission.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/base-and-plus-mission.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Code 1 [Base] + Code 2 [Plus] = New Code [Result]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To reiterate, in the above screenshot, you have 3 windows at the bottom. In the first window, you select a code that will be assigned as the \"Base Mission.\" Then in the second window, you select a code that will be set as the \"Plus Mission.\" When the two codes combine, the third window shows the \"Result Mission\" or the new mission code you just created. The monsters that appear are inherited from  both mission codes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #f5093d;\"><strong>While  creating a mission, the mission codes you set as the \"Base\" and \"Plus\"  mission do not disappear. Instead you will use up your synthesis points.  You will need these synthesis points to create missions.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Synthesis points are obtained through playing Infinity Missions or sending your mission code to someone else through Friend Search (explained below.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One big characteristic of mission codes is how the <span style=\"color: #ee1060;\"><strong>drop tables can change<\/strong><\/span> depending on the field, monsters, and boss. So what may usually drop by such and such monster in an Open Mission, will be completely different within an Infinity Mission. Using this method you could obtain items that are hard to get from regular free missions.&nbsp; Now that you could put two special effects together like \"drop rate boost\" and \"Monster's HP is low\", Mission Codes can be very advantageous to you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[via <a href=\"http:\/\/ameblo.jp\/phantasy-star-portable2\/entry-10674932658.html\">pspo2iblog<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/psp2i-code-counter.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5931\" title=\"psp2i code counter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/psp2i-code-counter-300x170.jpg?resize=300%2C170\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/psp2i-code-counter.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/psp2i-code-counter.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Code Counter in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity is in your ship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"pinkbar\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Question and Answer Session<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ec1235;\"><strong>In regards to mission code variety&#8230; <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mission code itself has a name based on the field, and the boss that appears.
