Heyo! If you've seen the announcement you'll know Luster is confirmed for February 3rd! If you did not see the announcement. SUPRISE!!

Some things to keep in mind that you may or may not have known.

1. Luster uses different "styles" bases on the element type of the weapon. If you are thinking about trying the class know you will need 3 Gunblades each with a different element if you want to try all the styles.
2. The styles are: Fomel using Fire or Dark element - Baran using Ice or Light element - Zandi using Wind or Lightning element. I say this to you know so you can go ahead and get an element changer from the player shop before the prices skyrocket. I got mine a few weeks ago and they were like 400k each for a dark and a lightning. Alternatively you can find any 13 or 14 star weapon of the correct element in the player shops but that might be more expensive than getting a free millionaire weapon and just changing it's element.
3. A lot of Lusters style and class upgrades are locked behind level. So I recommend saving any exp tickets and keys to try to level your new class fast!

That's about it. I am not a JP player so I know little about luster other than what I have read in guides. This is just a small heads up of some things you might wanna scrape together this week. Hope it helps someone.

Wow, I'm on the list?

I'd recommend choosing a race/class/or gender that you haven't used before. I tend to do that so I can hoard more outfits from mission pass and so your alt can use a different mag than your main. It's a fun little challenge for me cause I pick classes I'm not that great at. If I wind up loving the class after all, I'll take what I learned from the alt and apply it to my main. So an alt can be a great "test" character for whatever you might want to try. Also there is little to no reason to get an alt past level 50 for the weekly quests so you don't have to spend a lot of time on them if you don't want to. Just make what you want =^.^=

Yup B1 on ship 3 but as other said you gotta be running one of the more popular ones and by filling fast we mean 10 - 20 minutes. Though I had someone in my alliance wait 40 minutes before for a MBVR to fill. So time of day also seems to be important. I do recommend joining an alliance though. It helps to know there are people about that will run things with you, and I guarantee your fellow alliance members will appreciate any triggers you bring them, even if they can't always run them.

I love UQ's for several reasons. Decent exp, collection folder, knowledge that everyone is running at the same time, and testing my damage. There also aren't always triggers for me to run. Not to mention all the 10 star and up drops that I can turn into ex cubes <3.

I joined the floatinf facility one Caught like.. one sardine. Why couldn't you judge me on the billion squid I caught?!

If I recall you can't trade anything 13 star or above in those capsules. So earlier when I wanted to give my hunny a val weapon with a S3 on it. I wouldn't of been able to use the capsule machine and though I didn't know premium trading was down I'd or been properly pissed if he had premium and I still couldn't trade with him.

Shoepy is a rappy is a santa boot/stocking. Also Here is the most complete mag list I've found.

Between the two you should be able to find whatever you are looking for @Cedusa

We're not getting NGS till "Spring" It's still winter awhile longer. So we're gusstimating Luster by later January early February and then NGS around April which keeps up their tradition of major content updates every couple of months. So hopefully we have at least a couple months with Luster before NGS hits but keep in mind despite the initial rush to NGS there won't be tons of content available at release. So we'll still be playing PSO2 plenty. For those like me at least I still have a ton of titles I've not gotten and quests I've not touched yet and don't forget SG is shared so gonna wanna do mission pass and any other SG grinding in PSO2 as well.

Well now I know I'll just buy the AC and then wait for a throwback scratch. Still sad though I wanted about 90% of the stuff in there specially the hairs T.T I'm too broke from affixing and such to buy it outright with Meseta and as soon as the scratch poofs the prices will hike up again.
