Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus

[dogsout]

As I said, I'm lvl 3 luck today and it's showing. So many Marlines, Par Ash etc droping for and I've had gd luck with grinding and synthing so far today. Synthed another Halbert and stuck it straight up for sale and in 5 minutes my third and final attempt will be ready, just hope it's another Halbert and not a monomate or something.

EDIT: 3 out of 3, get in! It's going straight in the shop window.

Luck lvl is represented by some glowing stars next to your name, it changes daily.

www.psupedia.org shows the luck levels for the current date (may have to refresh page a couple of times).

I read that site before but I still had no clue how to see my luck ingame. Didn't know the site was keeping a log though and I also didn't know that the Japanese players were on different servers!

[Riskbreaker]

Japanese PS2 and PC players are on a different server to their EU and US counterparts. Xbox 360 players of all regions are on linked servers.

LVL6 Hunter
LVL2 Ranger

Got my Calibur, Vullseye, and Gatling...

Need Dual Beatguns and Durandel (eventhough it'll be a while before I return to Hunter) for now and I'm set. Then I need to start producing loads of guns whilst my MAG evolves into battle status which hopefully shouldn't be too long off.

Looking to have a full set of synth-onlys ground to 3 in every element before the update comes along.

Ranger is tons of fun. I love just standing there and letting rip with the Gatling. I can't wait until it's up to level3 on the grinds.

Which reminds me, I've never even had lvl1 luck on the game so far. Yet I've seen Newmen with lvl3 luck most of the time.

Just been reading up on Figunner and it sounds a bit **** tbh. I think I'm going to lvl both Ranger and Hunter to lvl10 and then just keep switching between Fortefighter and Fortegunner... but then I can't use S-rank machine guns :/ **** it, the way it's going I might as well take Force to lvl10 and be done with it and then I can do everything.

Lvl 4 Force, Lvl 3 Ranger, depending on how effective my Dual Beatguns are I'll probably switch back to force when ranger hits 5.

You're fecking obsessed man. I don't mind synthing the odd item but the constant costs wear me down.

My new(wo)man had luck lvl 3 on the day we all got the game, have had pretty poor luck since

I dont understand the races, ie If I create a CAST for melee type weapons, wont he/she be as good as say a beast at melee?

[dogsout]

I managed six successful Halbert synths out of six attempts in the end yeserday. Just got in and am popping on now.

Beast = Melee
CAST = Ranger
Newman = Force
Human = All rounder

6 Hunter
3 Ranger

Made 2x Dual Beatguns last night and ground them up to 2 and 3, also made another Vullseye and bought nearly every bullet PA... So close to lvl.30 now ><

Can't believe Kanon made 2x Grinder B +10s ... That's insanely lucky.

What Fallows said, but it also goes deeper. Because each class can be either progressed to an advanced class or you can opt for hybrid classes, which will mean at some point changing your class for a brief period of time. Which hybrid classes you choose along with the classes to mix to achieve them is best based on each races strengths and weaknesses.

Humans are generally all round full stop so they can adopt any class/expert class and be generally decent with them. They excel in Endurance and have very good defense, evasion and tech stats, but their attack power and accuracy is average.

CASTs excel in accuracy, but even though you start off as a Ranger, they have excellent attack power making them decent hunters. This means they can make the most of the Hunter and Ranger expert classes as well as the hybrid class. They can also use techs now allowing them to choose a path that throws self healing onto the mix.

Newman's excel in Techs and Evasion with excellent endurance and attack accuracy. They have extremely poor health and attack power however, so whilst they can mix up any force and ranger classes, the hunter classes are best avoided.

Beasts are just that, they have superior attack, health and endurance stats with poor accuracy and average techs. Beasts will make excellent advanced Hunters and perhaps decent Hunter/Force hybrids providing their own tech support. But ranged classes are almost completely pointless.

Can't believe Kanon made 2x Grinder B +10s ... That's insanely lucky.

Tell me about it, I've had zero luck for 7 days in a row. Bought just two B grinder bases and a board just to improve my Beatguns, stuck both bases in at the same time and next thing I know two +10s. I was even happier when they sold for 30k in the space of 30-45mins

Before I logged out for the night I was talking to Ichigo in my shop and the guy who bought them showed up asking if I had more. He then showed me the B class Durandal +7 he managed to grind using the last two I sold him. So all round everyone was a winner

Made a +6 and +8 last night which are sitting in the shop as I type. Spent most of the money on...... wait for it ....... new clothes !!!!!!!

That was a good run on Neudaiz last night, I think its time to give Parum a break for a while. Wish they'd hurry up and patch this, I want to know what lies ahead in that tower. Could probably find out in the single player mode but thats beside the point

Jesus, 7 times. What percentage elemental status was it? Or was it non-elemental?

Think I'm gonna get into buying some higher lvl grinders myself at some point, rather than chancing making my own crap ones and then breaking my weapons. :/ I want all my guns on (5), and then I can look for +8 - +10s to take them all to 6/7. I need to get back into synthing melee stuff as well so I have a massive pile of swords waiting for me when I go back to Hunter.

[Riskbreaker]

Didn't see the elemental status on it

I've got a plus 8 for sale

[dataDave]

How much? Oh man.... do I have the balls to grind up to (5) with normal 3s and 4s?

[dogsout]

Oi Kanon, you've got level 3 luck today mate so get grinding.

[Riskbreaker]

I know mate, gonna make some Dual Beatguns to put up for sale in my shop and to give to the cast I created yesterday.

Fallows, its up in the shop for 8k I'll let you have it for 7k.

[dataDave]

I'll have to see if I can synth up to 5 with standard Bs 1st matey.

lvl.3 luck... what is it with Newmen getting all the damn luck!?? basts.....

I fancy some constant Neudaiz runs tonight.... Robot boss and weirdo skinny tribal boss plz.
