Okay, first thing's first... I'm OFFLINE in Extra Mode, so please note that before responding. It's totally different from online mode.

Okay... I recently came across a weapon I would like to synthesize, the Svaltos Sword... but I have one small problem. I need one more piece of Kabaru Wood. Is there any free mission in Extra Mode that it's particularly simple to find this rare wood? I need it to finish the weapon and I've been trying to track it down all over the place, I have no idea where I got my first 2 pieces of it from.

Any help is appreciated.

I recently synthed a 6 star Yohmei longbow called the Hikauri online and found that my ranger can't equip the type. I have the official strategy guide for the game and it clearly states that rangers can equip B&C rank longbows for network mode. So there's obviously a misprint there. But whats the deal with rangers who cant equip a longbow?

I have PSU on the PS2 so I cant do the motion capture thing. So instead I drew my characters. Let me know what you think.

I just bought it for PS2, but we're not online. I was wondering if it even is worth it offline, or if there's even an offline mode you can play. I guess I got spoiled by PSO....but we're going to not open the game until we can decide if it's decent offline. Any help is appreciated! Thanks~

nearly done and cloud should be doing pics once he has read it and faulkie will be editor .....if i let him get his grubby little hands on it



it will be serious and if it goes well ill make a slightly less serious one but /we haha what do you think ??? good ieda or not ..or should i just finish writing it rather than tlaking away on this............ thought so see ya

I don't know if this is so much a trade as much as a proposal, however, any hunters in need of a Calaud or a Halbenata (Both of the 5 star Yohmei weapons, Longsword, and Spear.) I am more than willing to split the funds with you so that we can synth ourselves some. The boards for the two are in total, 9k. so we would both contibute 4.5k and either of us would synth the items (depending on higher PM level, mine is around 50.) If anyone is interested, let me know, I have a shop, so you can visit my house as well if you like.

I just found put that .hack//roots is coming on Saturday on the Cartoon Network. For those who don't know //roots is the new addition to the .hack story, roots taks place in the G.U. universe. I can't wait

I've been doing a little experimenting recently and I decided I may as well share a little info with all of you here.

You know those pesky spells that take so darn long to level? Well... turns out you can abuse the programming of several of them to raise their levels a lot faster! This will be especially good for Forces (once they get the stat increasing spells unlocked) so they can provide much better support faster!

The first set of spells that can be upgraded easily (if you have some spare meseta), is the stat decreasing spells such as Jellen, Zalure, etc. Here's what you do...

1. Get a bunch of rods/staffs and make sure they're full.
2. Find a large group of enemies that do little to no damage to you (and won't make you flinch)
3. Continually cast the spell you're trying to improve on these enemies, make sure to hit as many as you can.
4. Keep putting the spell on a new rod/staff when you drain the one you're working with so you can continuing using the spell.
5. Once all of your rods/staffs are empty, finish the stage.
6. Wash, rinse, repeat!

What you'll notice is that despite the fact that the enemy is still suffering the lowered status, you'll still gain spell EXP from casting it on the enemy repeatedly. Thus, you can gain spell levels ultra fast on this particular set of spells.

The next set of spells are stat increasing spells! Please note I've only tested "Megistar" and not more basic ones like Shift and Deband. If they don't work as I describe below please tell me as soon as possible.

Okay, now for leveling those pesky stat boosters. This is easiest with a large party, the more people the spell hits, the more EXP it gets! If you can, round up 5 friends that are willing to stand right beside you for large periods of time. (This is of course, whenever these spells are available online, offline just bring 3 NPCs with you.) Here's how we go about this one...

1. Get a bunch of rods/staffs and make sure they're full.
2. Get as many people in your party as possible and enter a stage.
3. Have everyone gather close to you.
4. Start casting the spell you're trying to level on them repeatedly. The more people the better.
5. Keep putting the spell on a new rod/staff when you drain the one you're working with so you can continuing using the spell.
6. Once all of your rods/staffs are empty, finish the stage.
7. Wash, rinse, repeat!

Much like the stat decreasing spells, even though your friend has their stat boosted, you'll still get more spell EXP for using the spell again! Just keep on casting and you'll have better stat boosting spells in no time!

The third set's a tad more complicated and much slower... not to mention will require plenty more PP to get the spell into its highest levels. These two spells are the spell that nullifies one physical attack, and the spell that nullifies one TECHNIC attack (I forget their names. One's a ground type, the other's light type.)

The main reason these are slower is because of the fact that you can't merely repeatedly cast the spells on yourself. You've got to get hit by the respective type of attack that the spell nullifies first. Here's what you do...

1. Get a bunch of rods/staffs and make sure they're full.
2. Go to a stage with an enemy that attacks slowly and predictably with the attack type you're nullifying.
3. Kill off everything but that one enemy and prepare your spell.
4. Each time the enemy destroys the barrier, cast a new one.
5. Keep up this process until you run out of rods/staffs.
6. Finish off the stage.
7. Wash, rinse, repeat.

This will take significantly longer than the other spells... but it's the fastest way possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now then... that was a mighty spew of tips and tricks. XD A couple other things to note... spells like Resta and Reverser only gain spell EXP when they're actually doing something! You'll gain nothing by casting them when you don't need them. Resta and other such support TECHNICs also gain more EXP when they aid multiple team-mates. Use it appropriately to gain the most spell EXP.

That's really all I can think of... other than the basic, attacking spells will gain EXP faster if you hit multiple targets each time. The fastest way to level one attacking spell is to use it, and only it, as you play.

Hopefully someone will find all this info useful. I'm fairly sure someone's already come across these tricks by now, but hey, let everyone else know about it too. XD It'll certainly be nice to have a few less spells to worry about taking forever to level. Enjoy everyone!

Ok so I had this idea ages ago for an amazing group effort fanfic... but I couldn't find anyone willing to do it with me. I still think it should be quite cool though, so I'm gonna ask for opinions here and... well, fingers crossed!

Ok, basically there's one main story that each person's chapters will be based around. The story itself will be slightly short, but the thing is that each person's story reveals new things because they were in a different place, knew something someone else didn't, etc etc.

For example, Faulkie is walking in the forest when all of a sudden he sees Ross being beaten up by Cloud from a distance. By the time he gets up there, they've gone. Then when it get's to Ross/Cloud's bits they will explain what was going on. (Basic example with random names. )

Um... does that make sense?

Basically different characters will reveal new parts of the same basic story. It will require quite a bit of planning so I want to see if anyone's interested. You don't have to be amazing at writing or anything, just a nice little PSUniverse activity!

First Story Arc, By Ross.
story line could be everyone takes a simple misisons and get implated with a bug which makest hem think the other hunters are bad guys and they do it fight each other but then somehow find out whats goign of well jus the 5 or w/e of us then we all need to band to getter and figth a greater evil to free all the other hunters and also in teh final battle everyone can do all there own accoutns from the real one which could be up so you know who much each person varies it

Important events
-At some time in the near past, many hunters have been hospitalised. What they don't know it the bug/virus (which is it? :S) that has been implanted in them on these visits.
-Day one, 1200h approximately - The bug starts to take its effect, judgment between friend and foe has been clouded. It continues to get worse.
-Day one, 1400h approximately - The hunters now attack anything that moves. Including each other, innocent people, etc.
