Phantasy Star Universe - XBox 360

[toxic rf]

Hahahahahaaaa.

I sold my Gudda Hon's the other week for 8 million, knowing that everyone would be spamming this mission. I'll pick up some new ones for much cheaper. I love that thanks to the Japanese servers we can see into the future somewhat.

I was going to sell my Rikauteri, but just could not do it. 6/6 is probably about the best I'll get. I think I'm good for those drops actually. Apart from trying to synth a better Frauduke, grind a better Rikau and grind a better Tesbra, all I want is three Pushans, and they are not from this part.

Apparently Paradis Cataracs drop VERY frequently. I remember seeing a screenshot on PSOW showing three dropping in one boss fight.

And HOLY SHIT. 31,000 EXP.

[Siri]

I'll take...

ALL OF IT!

*explosion* *smug richard hawk face*

I'll be running C for Paradis and Flowen's Sword, but then it's all about boards and murdering Falz over and over for bonus EXP and MP. As for S-Rank Cast Protranser armour, no clue - the only real options I can see is Serafi-Senba and Shinowa Line. Thinking about it, it's time I got a Storm/Castest Line.

[Terria]

The damned have claimed another soul. Welcome to the world of PSU Xibxang and your now level 14 Beast Hunter.

The damned have claimed another soul. Welcome to the world of PSU Xibxang and your now level 14 Beast Hunter.

Man, that was some quick power leveling! Thanks for the run through, Terria. It was a good laugh although I was near clueless as to what was going on. So hi everyone. New PSU player and all that. I'm just about to run through some solo missions just so I can get a feel for the game for myself so that I know what I'm doing.

Anyone else playing: add my gamertag and maybe we can meet up in-game at some point?

[strawdonkey]

Oh hi! Good to see we've not scared everyone off by talking exclusively in jargon

I'm guessing your Gamertag is Xibxang?

Anyway. What class are you looking at playing? I'll see if I can sort you out with a couple of bits to get you started.

As for Cast Protranser Armour - well, they're all a bit shit really. I think Shinowa Line is your best bet for an affordable armour but you'll be missing out on the body slot for resist units. If you see a cheap Serafi-Senba then snap it up, but I seriously doubt that's ever, ever going to happen.

PSO-World lists the Orpaline and the Rabol Gaim as having Arm, Body and Extra slots - so they'd be ideal for us CAST Protransers - but, naturally, they've not been released yet. nob. Typically, Rabol Cuesta, the first Protranser-Exclusive armour, is only an A-rank so we still couldn't use Paradis Cataract with it anyway - double nob!

Castest Line and Storm line are both unwearable by Protransers, and pretty much everything else currently released lacks the Extra slot.

It's quite daft that Tortoise will have an easier job getting an uber SUV at lv50-odd than Donk-Bot at lv130

[toxic rf]

So... I found my second set of DB Swords. 22% Fire this time. They look much nicer than the Lightning ones, in that you can actually make out the runes on the blade.

And hello new PSU person. I'll have a look in my PM to see if I have any things to give you a little headstart. If you need any advice then feel free to ask I'm sure one of us would relish reeling off page after page of incomprehensible nonsense!

[strawdonkey]

Euch, I just picked up the cheapest PT-wearable S-rank armour with an extra slot.

3.7 million.

Am cry

[strawdonkey]

Apologies I couldn't stick around for longer, I'll definitely be on tomorrow though.

Marc - I've got loads of striking weapons for your bot, we'll have to sort those out tomorrow.

On a completely different note, Siri, Toxic and myself decided to have a quick go at speedrunning C as a trio - 113, 96 and 92 - and did it in 7:30. How people are doing S in 7:58 is beyond me (probably lots of Jabroga and Tornado Dance), but I was pretty pleased with that. 200 kills in seven minutes.

[Siri]

I'll be out tonight, but I'll be on this afternoon hopefully. I'm hoping for the 100mil kill unlock to be this afternoon, but 2 million in the space of a few hours is rather slim.

As for Protranser armour, I still can't get my head around the fact that Orpaline still hasn't been released - It was one of the only S-Rank armours that was available in the Single Player mode, and it's still not available. Hopefully, the first update that will be released after MAG will include Fires of Illusion, which drops Rabol Lumirus (arm/body/extra), hopefully at the same rate as Al Senbas.

[Caz-chan]

Is anyone going to be on tonight?

I was running about with Marcface and xibxang and levelling up all over the place, which was nice!

I currently have a Human Wartecher lv72 and a Best Figunner lv 32so really looking to do more Maximum G runs if anyone is up for it?

[Siri]

I've just finished for the evening, although Donk is still on.

I'll probably hop on again if we hit 100million before I go out at 7. I'll probably end up bitching around my friend's BBQ if we hit it while I'm out, and then end up coming back at 11 drunk and attempting fight Falz while muttering about a 'paradis catamaran' under my breath.

Bumflaps.

EDIT: lol, hopped from 99,255,000 to 99,425,000 within the 30 minute refresh. maybe there is some hope!

[Caz-chan]

Yeah definently looking like it is going to be tonight!

I think I ran into you on Universe 5, you have a CAST called Siri?

My friend and I did a B MaxG run and got the Blue Rappies, aren't they for Easter?

Also another little thing I only noticed today, I was in my room chatting to my friend and I noticed my character started making faces randomly - she would smile and then a few mins later she would scowl at the screen.

I have never noticed this before, its a cute little touch!

[Siri]

Yeah, that was me - I think we was all in a bit of a tizzy, as Donk went to his room, and then Tokky's missus' X-Box crashed. and then everyone sodded off, myself included.

it's now close to 100mil - 99,87X,XXX to be precise, and that was rising by about 100-200k every run I did. so I'm actually going to sit down, grab a drink, and then run MAG afterwards and it will probably show up ;p

loads of people on now, 2 and a half servers are full now. pity it's going to be reduced to nothing once people discover that DF is nothing more than...

...a De Rol Le clone. watch as all of the PSO hardcore top themselves as they find out that Sega Team have reduced ol' Falz to nothing more than a flying fish reskin. Priceless!

EDIT: yeah, the blue rappies are for easter, but they're in MAG atm for two reasons:

1. It was originally there for the Japanese Event, so they're still there for equality, but the main reason:

2. Lots more items drop off normal rappies past 100 - Namely Cati/Skill Save, which is only obtainable at the moment through Forest of Illusion. I would imagine that the market would be flooded with such a rare item if the Normal Rappies were in.

EDIT 2: Oh, and I hit the counter. Again. 99,850,000.

[Caz-chan]

The lag at my end was shocking, sorry if I was really quiet - I know how annoying it can be to hear someone's mic cutting out all the time, so I stayed quiet.

Also my keyboard was having none of it either

I will be back on in a while if anyone is still about, if you need a techer give me a shout.

[Siri]

Urgh, constantly getting shafted on Dark Falz drops - I've ran one S-Run, and Three C runs.

Only just got my first Rare from it on the last C Run - a Flowen's Greatsword. Oh, and a Chicotite.

BASTARDS! That EXP is going to be nice though, once some decent runs are sorted out today.

[Caz-chan]

If anyone is going to be on say after 7pm I will be about if you need people - I can use either my Lv 40 Beast Fighgunner(thanks again Strawdonkey for the levelling up, it was happening like every 5 mins! ) or my Lv 73 Human Wartcher.

I will kick the keyboard if the ic doesn't work again - I was getting nasty lag last night

I managed to grab on a C run a set of DB twin blades Light 22% which, after me thinking they were a bit rubbish have turned out to be most beefy

Dount I will be that lucky again though.

[Terria]

I seen my first Paradise Cataract drop, but didn't win it. Also checked the prices of Shinowa Lines so I would be able to use one if I got it, cheapest was 4.5 million today, I think I've missed my chance for an affordable one.

[Siri]

First off - Willei's back! nice to see you again after all this time, it's a shame I'm going to be working graveyard shifts this week and can't play with you at a reasonable time. :S

Me and Donk finally stumbled onto our first Paradis Cataract, went to me. However... I don't really want to use it after having a few runs. Colour me mad, but it's so fucking broken it's not even funny - it does double the damage of sturm in the same radius, 'rains' heavier, and freezes practically anything that's suspectable to that particular status. It's just plain unfair on anyone else who isn't a cast ;/

I'll be using it on Solo runs for sure, though. Probably S as well, if it's a two-man job or something.

Also: As I'm on an odd shift, do you want to share the SUV Donk? I can lob it in your room at 12-ish PM, and then plonk it in a box when you're done for the evening. LMK if you happen to read this thread at an ungodly hour!

[Terria]

Hopefully we can combine and get us another 2 before the end of the event, and have one each.

Then I can spend my psycho wand fund on a Shinowa Line. ;_;

[strawdonkey]

Thanks for the offer, I'm in no rush though. I'll get one eventually and I fully intend on pissing everyone off by using it as much as possible

The great thing about it is that the whole SUV is finished within about six or seven seconds, there's no summoning a giant gun and waiting for it to settle - it's just activation, lasers, finished.

Prices have died right down now - I've seen them being sold for about 3.8mil.

Soda Riban Watch: 46% available for as little as 1mil, 42% available for as little as 400k!

[edit] FINALLY shifted those Bil De Axes for 2.5m a piece. The Deva-Zashi board sold for 1.8 - I was going to make it but the perils of making a bad one put me off - the board is expensive, but a 12% weapon is 350k...

[GViper]

Man, that was some quick power leveling! Thanks for the run through, Terria. It was a good laugh although I was near clueless as to what was going on. So hi everyone. New PSU player and all that. I'm just about to run through some solo missions just so I can get a feel for the game for myself so that I know what I'm doing.

Anyone else playing: add my gamertag and maybe we can meet up in-game at some point?

Dude, you bought it excellent! I'll HAVE to do some runs with you! Will be on for a couple of hours around say 2pm if anyone fancies it.

[strawdonkey]

Will be at work unfortunately. When are you normally on anyway? I've not seen you about for a while.

[GViper]

Will be at work unfortunately. When are you normally on anyway? I've not seen you about for a while.

Well, it's because GTAIV is addictive, I only got to see the missus on weekends, and now, I've just moved to swindon and am trying to sort a decent connection (Should be ok, pending laptop malarkey)

So yeah, expect me on intermittently for the next 2 weeks!

[Moodmon]

Dude, you bought it excellent! I'll HAVE to do some runs with you! Will be on for a couple of hours around say 2pm if anyone fancies it.

SOLD!

Giving Trucy a good hard raping recently, trying to get diiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggaaaaaaarrrrrr [drools] up to 21. Which I worked out is gonna take 1000 rocks to faces. Fun times. Still, beats spamming lasers till I can reach the heady heights of level 11 plasma cannon justice. I have finally realised just how hard it is with these weak fortetechers - I won't be able to get some A rank armour for weeks as the defence is so low. Which means I will be Har/quick less for weeks. Still, going from B rank rods to S rank stuff immediately, completely with almost doubling of damage, is maximum profit.

As for DF I want as many cubo tuma boards as possible (as I can't be bothered to buy them). Also lots of gudda gants, because I love them and they make me feel special. Not massively fussed about anything else really, unless I can sell it for big monies. I don't really use my cast, so I can use extra slots on something more suitable. Like the never seen before aura field.

Oh wait.

[Siri]

Don't worry, fortetechers get decent armour quite soon if you churn out the MAG runs - it took millia about level 50, level 3/4 Fortetecher before she could equip the lowest DFP A-Rank armour for the job. luckily, it's a Yohmei job, so it somes with a Head slot. Without MAG though, you would probably shit the bed.

and Har/Quick is so worth it. so very, very worth it. Using rods like they were wands? MOAR PLZ.

In other news: Still no good drops from Falz C, although the WIN BUTTON is proving it has a purpose. I'll have to have a quick run of Sleeping warriors S2 just to see how many Badiras I can nuke in those 3 seconds of nuclear fallout.

[strawdonkey]

Oh shit, I just hit the counter. I think it was after I fought De Rol, as well

[Terria]

I got myself a Cataract then had to spend 9 million on a Shinowa Line so I can use it. But It's worth it, I'm too lazy to farm up relic edges at the moment anyway.

[Siri]

TBH Marc, Relic Edges are not the concern when it comes to Shinowa Line making - you only need the one for the synth, something that can be easily had from a few sessions of bullet/tech levelling over at Sleeping Warriors C.

Ortapolymer, on the other hand, is the spawn of Satan, as it involves running White Beast S (or alternative Neudaiz CUNTFEST) for 30 pieces. Merculines can be tricky as well, but I'm sure Tokky would lend you some from the Gacha he rinsed.

...Sorry, had to get that one in. OH!

I've decided that I'm going to brave the Universe 1/2 crowd, in an effort to run more S-Rank missions and cap Siri before the event ends while I'm doing unsociable hours this week. tried a run today, and it wasn't too bad (although it was aided by pissing everyone off by nuking with Paradis the second I come across a full spawn of monsters with a full charge. It has the subtlety of a fucking car crash, it's hilarious!

[strawdonkey]

Cataract GET Completely shit drops otherwise though.

We had a quick run on Plains Overlord, a quick chance to flex the old muscles once again - I can't believe the difference going 130/20 has made, just silly things like hitting 6500 with my axe or 3000 x4 on the last hit of Bogga Danga. Even my shotgun is hitting 550 and handgun is criticaling for 850...

Isobel has gone Wartecher for a bit - so far so good, quite enjoying it surprisingly. Quite fragile at the moment though, Gaozoran Turbo Foie is hitting for more HP than I have...

[edit] Tell a lie - shit drops other than we found two Carriguruiciiciiciucucucuc boards in one run. \o/

[Terria]

We got a few S rank boards actually, it was just the boss loot was shit, with the exception of your SUV.

So who's up for runs this afternoon/evening? I'll be home from work around 3:30ish and should log on soon after. Will be up for some S rank runs with my techer or protranser depending on how many people there is.
