Ship 1 & 3 might be the best options to look into most likely, I think ship 4 is probably the hardest to sell right now just because its population is much smaller then ship 4 so buying certain things might become very difficult and/or expensive.

Most of what i want is currently on global thanks to us getting the Fornis Fuggit outer/base this scratch. Only thing i can remember at the top of my head is Solaris Fulgor [Ba] From winners design 7, Pure Grace [Ba], Sherry Loretta [Ba], Fringe knit cardigan [Ou], Ribbon flare coat [Ou], Short overalls [Ba], Mori girl style dress [Ba] just to name a few.

Honestly just try and make friends. The ship your on will wind up not making a difference in the grand scheme of things once you do. Every ship has its share of bad players and also good players. I've had a few bad run-ins with players on my ship and i simply ignored them, moved on and in the absolute worst case: blacklisted them. This isn't something ship specific however. Crummy people exist everywhere in pso2 but so do good/helpful people. Its just a matter of finding the right people be it by chance or not. Just pick a new ship and roll with things.

Sodam is very nasty to fight in DQ not really from a difficulty perspective but in terms of how much HP it has and how much you need to squeeze out, Putting it into perspective my Etoile (main class) with full cras with 315mel power units even after nailing every possible DS counter possible Still just barely fell short of killing sodam and yet my Hero with TMG+Talis was enough as long as i played perfectly and switched to talis during down phases. I dont normally link stuff but i DID record the run so i feel like showing just how pressed for time you actually are. (my hero weapons are liberate so i imagine the windows bigger w Lightweaver weapons)

the timing is tough, I honestly dont blame anyone for failing to solo Sodam.

Bumping~

Dont see much point doing this when Cradle exists and drops factor catalysts skipping the process and hassle of actually making the catalyst. Drops were kind of disappointing so pretty much nobody in my group runs it, myself included. But Cradle is loaded compared to the easter UQ so is not really fair.

Yup phaleg can be considered a memory game of sorts. memorizing her voice lines/animations etc to know what shes going to do.

Theres nothing to be ashamed about if you cant defeat her. One of the members in my alliance is pretty good at the game and while hes really good when it comes to group content he just isnt very good at solo content (or at least claims as much).

I understand where your coming from though.

Theres no shame in not being able to beat phaleg nor some manditory thing saying you HAVE to. Regardless of whatever cheese strats exist these fights were made to be difficult to test player skill/challenge the player. I dont really care if you can cheese your way to masquerade whatever that strategy is. That wont take away from the intent of the fight to begin with. you can hate it for being bullshit and avoid it like the plague thats perfectly fine we all enjoy games differently. However pushing these cheese strats on others is wrong because again: wheres the fun in cheesing a fight that was meant to test player skill.

Its not elitism saying not to cheese phaleg.

Is the fight bullshit? Probably more towards the casual crowd who might have issues dodging and learning patterns yes, its perfectly understandable. That being said its possible to beat phaleg in under a minute with the gear we currently have so its certainly not impossible if your persistent and give it the old college try. Phaleg is a fun fight for those truly interested in a challenge.

Just dont push cheese strats on players and then call your opposition elitists , Its disgusting and im not impressed one bit.

Phaleg really tests your overall knowledge of your class and being able to get down her attack patterns. No offence but telling others to waste that long on a "cheese" strat does neither of that and wont help players learn to improve. The feeling of beating phaleg when you beat her with your best class finally is a good one (even if shes pretty easy now with endgame gear). I mean by all means you do you if you feel happy with doing that do so i wont force you to play the game differently. Just dont try and push that idea onto others just so they can beat phaleg without actually learning anything.

(this is aimed at the op)

I've gotten a few fans. Mostly people saying my character is super attractive/really cute and such. I also get constant like from the same people even though i don't really like other lookbooks.
