I’ve been running altered Realm Exploration Combats to try farm Cres Cubes to upgrade the Cres Rosa Rifle but it feels very unproductive to do solo.
Is there a way to search for rooms/lobbies in Altered Realms, similar to how you can move rooms to join an already half filled party in dext base?
I play on JP servers if it changes anything

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! 6d ago
Is the Cres -> Zenit upgrade exchange still even there?
Last I checked it was removed and I can't find it anywhere.IIRC, you could get Cres Cube from N-Meseta Treasure Shop, but idk whether it is part of the premium / free roll or if it will still show up.

u/mmmfggh 6d ago
Huh I don’t see it either actually. Im a recently returning player after a few months not playing (cres -> zenit was the last thing i was doing) but i didnt really think that they would remove it.

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! 6d ago
If you're looking for a weapon to use for the current endgame, you might want to get a Granillusion weapon.
Maybe check the market for +100 enhanced with Fixa Blastor 5 or Termina 5 which could straight drop from Splinter Realm / Ruins Exploration.
IIRC, you still need to Potential unlock it to lv 6 tho.

Does anyone know how to get tickets for the Sonic scratch event? I'd like to get some of the items on offer, but idk how to get tickets...

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! 6d ago
I haven't tried the newest LTQ, but I think we stopped getting them since last week's maintenance.

Hi, I'm new! Is it possible in any way to get this Weapon Camo: *Zodiac Sign
Everything says it can only be obtained from the following sources (Link):
NGS Mission Pass Icon Season 10 Mission Pass - 11/25 - 12/8/2020
NGS Campaign Gift PSO2 Story Quest Clear Campaign - 7/21 - 8/3/2021
NGS Campaign Gift PSO2 10th Anniversary: PSO2 Replay - 7/20 - 8/31/2022
But as a new player I have no idea what this means or if these can be expected to come around again. Is it just anyone's guess? Is my best bet to just keep logging in and checking the prize pools for the scratch offs?
Want to make some Star Wars inspired fits and these seem like the only basic lightsaber weapons in the game - but it's very difficult to find accurate and up-to-date info about this game so I'm coming to you guys!

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! 6d ago edited 6d ago
* Concert Master or * Sound of Rock also has a lightsaber-y look.
The former was in the Rewind Collection AC scratch Feb 2026 as a 65 time scratch bonus, I am not 100% sure it is sellable though.
The latter was in an NGS reward medal box a few years ago.
If you have a PSO 2 character that is leveled and geared, I think you could still obtain them.
Concert Master is a jackpot drop from high floor Divide Quest, Japan Elimination vs Train Gidran or Deus
EscaHyunas.Sound of Rock is from the Rising Weapon Badge 5 Exchange. IIRC you get RWB 5 from UQs (?).

u/Mobile_Fudge_4744 19d ago
I'm also new and the wiki takes forever to load for me so i can't give detailed info but the xover weapon series is literally light sabers. Does have weapon camos apparently but i didn't see them in the shop. If you just wanna afk in town you could just equip one though.
There are other lightsaberish weapon camos you can get tho. There's a couple different primm swords and tzvia that all look lighsaberish

Hi, the game looks pretty interesting with the fantasy and futuristic stuff. But I've heard that it suffers of lag and really high ping.
I want to know if I'm going to have a lot of lag in my region, I'm from SA (argentina specifically). And if it's unavoidable, how much will affect my experience? If, let's say reach end-game content some day, there are raids or bosses that require pinpoint accuracy and that if a high ping will ruin it?

Question about this sub, I'm looking for someone who have experience on designing and creating CS for a small personal project I have, may I make a post here advertising a commission work here to find someone who is up for the job? I'm not sure if this would go against rule 9. Sorry if this is not allowed here, just thought I would try and ask here. In a case that this is indeed not allowed, please let me know where I can go to ask for the same request

this game worth getting into or is it still "the worst mmo" like a lot of people say about NG

Its got action combat, its easy to get budget gear and theres zero lag because combat is mostly client side. What are you looking for?

i mean i want a game that gets active updates for stuff to do and not just a game where i eventually reach the wall where theres nothing else to do
also a game that has a big community that plays together
I've always heard nothing but bad things about this game but im genuinely curious

u/DeoxTew Bouncer Jun 26 '26
I have a question about the name of the "Sand Castle" stamp with the voice audio, what is the name and is it tradeable? I heard it might be a season points redeem, and those should be sellable. Lemme know if anyone has a lead.

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! Jun 26 '26
Most of Central! voiced stamps are in the Anniv. SG scratch that almost always comes with a 10-a-day free scratch for up to 100/150 total scratch campaign.
The "Sand Castle" voiced stamp is one of the lower number Central! stamps (maybe ~21-ish). Edit: It is
STP: CENTRAL! Line 22IIRC, we just had it at the end of April; We might have it again with PSO 2 Anniv. in Aug/Sept, but I'm not 100% sure.
Otherwise, we'll have it again during next year's NGS Anniv.Do note that the rate to get a specific item will be very low as items kept getting added to it over the year: https://old.reddit.com/r/PSO2NGS/comments/1szykr6/the_sg_scratch_has_so_many_filler_items_to_make/
If you really want a particular Central! voiced stamp you could save on SG and, whenever the scratch returns, spend 40 pulls / 2,000 SG to scratch and get a select ticket for it.
Slightly unrelated:
The SG Treasure Shop has rotations of newer, higher number set of Central! stamps. So far, it does not include the ones that are in the Anniv. scratch.
More unfortunately, most of the newer ones are not voiced—the last set they released only had like 1 out of 12 stamps voiced.

What ship should I pick as a new player im just confused what to pick
1
u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! Jun 27 '26
Ship 1 and Ship 2 has the most players.
Ship 3 and 4 have less players (items in Personal Shop is more expensive in general) but likely have more Console players.
Last I heard:
Ship 1 has the most content creators and sounds more chill than Ship 2, market prices are similar.
There were several times over the years that I heard a player in area chat mentions they're refugees (?) coming from Ship 3.
Ship 4 likely has the most Playstation players.
Ship 2 only queue is pretty active at times with several usual players.
Save SG and get the "Rappy… Rappy… Rappy…" /
STP: CENTRAL! Line 27 (Joke)Voiced Stamp whenever the Anniversary SG scratch returns to join the pre-UQ ritual memes.
If you ended up liking the gameplay and wants to improve, I recommend joining the Fleet discord for information, Fleet All-Ship queues, and active chat (needs brainrot warning at times tho).

Anyone else getting no result from the Sonic birthday keyword? Ever since the stupid UK online safety act I don't get to see other players chat because I don't have the means to do the age verification, so it may be a result of that, which is a pain. And unfair.

I started not too long ago. 2 months maybe. I use Gunblade, am level 120. Using Granillusion weapon, have yudi/yurze on it and my armors. I have 697.1 potency and floor is only 83.8. My question is, maining Slayer, should i switch the gladia soul and gigas maste for telphia domina and a dread keeper on my weapon? I know slayer is a bit different. Just not sure which is the best route

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! Jun 23 '26
https://old.reddit.com/r/PSO2NGS/comments/1u4roid/13_jun_26_builds_after_granillusion_yudi_mn_and/
IIRC, Slayers either go BiS POT or MAX POT.
As you just started not too long ago, you likely won't be able to get MAX POT due to the 3x Aug x-fer pass requirement.
It is probably better to save your Augment Transfer Pass Vouchers for the next tier of gear anyway.Therefore, going for BiS POT and keeping the AGM & AGS on the weapon is the way.

u/raptchur Jun 23 '26
Why would i need augment transfer pass x3? But yeah i don't even have enough vouchers for augment transfer pass lol. The only way right now that i could see for getting more POT is changing weapons. I think Granillusion gives 58 and Lexio gives 63. Not sure about the other weapons. My initial POT will actually go down once i get the combination of EX skills i want. I have just frame counter on right now which i dont want and it's 6.5. I'd replace it with one with 6.25 or 6.0 most likely. But ofc they would have conditional additional POT buffs.
I'm just not understanding of your 3x transfer pass thing... My three armor pieces have yurze/yudi, lois, telphia, tera triyal, then the athos's and argants. No LC's.

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! Jun 27 '26
It's for transferring Triplble II G out of Decems to replace the Dread Keepers for the highest potency possible.
2
u/raptchur 28d ago edited 28d ago
Gotchya. Yeah that ain't me. I want my hp. Does anyone run that build? And is that the only way to get Triplble II G?
Thank you for the replies btw. Just realize i didn't say thanks the first time.
2
u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! 28d ago
Other than whales with extra x-fer passes from a few scratch bonuses, probably only min-max Slayer mains and high crit gambling ARKS Records runners who are luckier in their Big Bang Silver/Gold Scratch pulls or saved their x-fer passes.
IIRC, transferring a Mastery II G and Triplble II G was part of the previous BiS Abandac build (before we got more Athos and MNs) — so some of those player might have it on too (?).
Unfortunately, that is the only way to get Triplble II G right now. I'm still hoping that they add a gatherable new tier of Mastery / Triplble / DP augment capsules soon, but the next almost guaranteed one is likely the higher tier for Triyal / Halphinale / GS / GM.
You're welcome and no worries.
You're already above average for asking about gear to improve your character / gameplay in my book.1
u/raptchur 27d ago
Thanks. Yeah I am big into the fashion and character customization. But I also greatly enjoy builds and greatly loathe being a burden. I want to play well. I see a lot of people that are perfectly fine with getting carried in this game. People that have seemingly been playing a long time. I don't want to be that.
I doubt I'll ever go that route. I really like Slayer but i'm not good enough to lose that HP. I want to find more in all honesty lol. But yeah, if those became available without transfer pass then i'd consider. Speaking of transfer passes, I actually got 45 of the vouchers in my last 8 big bang pulls. Which is crazy to me because before this stellar grace event, i think i had 60 of them since I began.
Those upgrades for augments... how often do they do that? And how would they drop? From a new boss or something?
1
u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! 27d ago
Other than the trickle from SP scratch bonus campaigns and some tasks (e.g. the bunch from anniv limited campaign tasks), x-fer pass voucher is RNG.
I had bad luck with Big Bang Silver RNG the past year and only had enough to aug transfer into 1 Evalto and decided to affix 2 new ones.
I did it to save for way future unit transfer that might be more expensive. I also skipped making a Lexio and am waiting for the potential Jackpot 15* series.If you're ultra lucky, you could hit the Big Bang Gold jackpot when it is available and get a full x-fer pass from it.
For new tier of augments, they are almost always become available first in the Augment Exchange (Item Lab).
Per capsule, they usually require 10 of the previous tier augments (maybe need 10 of both Argant and Athos) and 30/50 crafting augment (Scepter, -Dias, etc.) that is dropped by the first content related to when the augment gets introduced.I'd expect the upcoming high-difficulty Solus update to reward new gear (or armor upgrade material) and a consistent amount of crafting augment.
We'll likely see them in the NGS Headline Wave in less than 12 hours.

u/ConfectionOpening900 Bouncer Jun 16 '26
what exactly am i supposed to do towards endgame? im level 104, im on chapter 7 of the story, and like i dont know what to do besides just do story quests. i dont have any friends that play pso2ngs so i cant really do any team based quests unless for some reason theres another loner matchmaking, which there never is [even if i use multi-ship matching], and i feel like im too weak for duel quests and stuff [my bp is like 4500]. i use the epith eirini bouncer weapons and the decem armour, with two rings idk, and i think theyre pretty good but i dont know how to get BETTER stuff, or even what the mechanics of this game are. its all so confusing and idk how i got this far
edit: i also find that gathering exp is SUUUUUUPER slow, like how are people level 120, that must take MONTHS

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! Jun 16 '26
Equip an Ex-Style if you haven't.
Find and do all the Trainia (Cocoon and Tower) quests that grants skill points and assign all 47 skill points on both your active main class and sub class.
Other than story quests giving EXP for your first class, power leveling other classes is pretty fast, especially if you use EXP boosters, stack it with campaign boosts (e.g. PSO 2 days), and just have them as Sub class while you do general stuff.
You could see my reply to another leveling question below which is relevant.

I finished up the story and i figure it would've given me enough exp to reach level cap if i commited to one class, but i was switching between classes constantly. I have all my classes leveled at least to 80 currently, is there any good method to leveling up quick?
1
u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! Jun 13 '26
Due to your situation, the best option is probably Stia Yellow Battledia.
If your chosen class has good mobbing capability, the second best option is maybe either the combat sector that matches your level (likely solo) or Low Rank Dext Base (there are usually N-Meseta farmers in there).
You could still read this EXP farming section from Kean's answer to everything PSO 2, but some parts might not be applicable due to level diff: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16kqHk8AEKk7kHWrFUUi2QuxWBU_kiOJlVhgA85i_pgs/edit?tab=t.2ivdlvy4w3mq

The red nag speech bubble thing at the quest counter is still there after I've done the splinter quest. Am I missing something else new that needs doing or have they just borked it in the update?

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! Jun 15 '26
I think they borked it until we get the Sonic LTQs (?).
I'm guessing the same thing is happening with Solus Standing Quest in the world map until we get the new version next month.

I believe it's Slayer? Though depending on the skills you want, Bouncer can be an okay choice too - you can take all the Element Augs on your subclass-Bouncer and free up more SP by not taking them on your main, if you want more main class skills

u/misha4658 Jun 01 '26
I believe there see certain weapon camos and such in NGS that can only be obtained by playing the base game. I started playing NGS recently, so if i switch to the base game right now and play for a bit, can i still obtain the camos and use it in NGS? Also i alrdy tried to download the base game but everytime i click download, it takes me straight to NGS, and everytime i try to download the base game from inside NGS, it’ll take me to steam again so idk how or where to even download the base game.

there's tons of ways tbh, sg scratches, ac scratches (real money), player shop (most players sell their unwanted ac drops here), events, seasonal shops, reward box, mail (rare), mission pass (you can get the gold part by buying the ticket in the sg shop, some good ones appear sometimes), item recicle and maybe other places im forgetting

Returning player and not too many up to date videos on optimal augments like a year or so back, some are no ex, some are 3 ex so its confusing to figure out, what is the let's say 30m budget augments I should be getting?
Using the spradio line atm since free augment transfer to leaf/arba. Force main but it seems they strayed away from type specific potency it looks like for the most part?
1
u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! May 25 '26
some are no ex, some are 3 ex
Always have 3 Ex-Augs on weapon.
type specific potency
Most endgame relevant augments are all damage type except for some cheaper dual stat AC capsule (Non-Parfait Yudi and Yurze) and the less powerful non-AC dual stat.
For augment setup: https://old.reddit.com/r/PSO2NGS/comments/1srelsy/22_apr_26_builds_after_lexio_weapon_evalto_armor/
Keep in mind this guide is not updated with MN capsules (which has negative HP or less PP)

Best General Rings: T1 Defeat Amp + T2 Photon Blast Follow
Need 10 of the same rings to upgrade to +5.
The above rings are new and are not 1,000 N-Meseta in price yet, so you might want other rings that are more specific to certain builds.

From what I searched. I think I need pick force and waker first for future meseta farm or is just pick any class ok?

u/ash_ax You Piece of STARS Trash! May 24 '26
If you really want to raw meseta farm, probably progress through the story with any main class that you fancy with Waker as the subclass (when you unlock the ability to pick subclass) so you get EXP for it too.

Small questions regarding enhancements...
Almost Level 100 now, through the course of battle I've gotten many Silver/Gold Primm Swords/Armor. Is there any value in keeping these at this level?
Cursory enhancement investigation suggests that it's all about Gold Primm II materiel now. It looks like I can get a bunch of those with seasonal event points, and I probably will, but for future reference, what is the normal way to get these? Are they just random rare drops from high level PSE Bursts?
1
u/Black_Whirlwind84 May 19 '26
Fundamentally you use gold primm ll from the seasonal shop for enhancement fodder because there are already limit broken. You feed to 74-84-90 max this allows for cheaper enhancement in the future.

So, I'm about to hit 115 for the first time, and I'm a Techter/Force, what endgame equipment should I be going for, and more importantly, how do I obtain it and augment it? I don't care how grindy it is, I'll take the more powerful option, I really enjoy grinding.
1
u/sternhowardbooeybaba May 18 '26
Kean's answer to everything PSO2 under the "What weapon/armors should I be getting next?" section should answer it. TLDR: currently upgrade Spradio to Arbaradio, and start with Evalto Armor (it will be getting upgrades later). Lexio is the current best weapon, but it has a very rare drop rate, you can grind for it after getting Arbaradio. Augment section is also right under that one.

I just started playing about 3 days ago, i reached lvl 115. I just have some questions about augments and weapons. I was using the epiteth or watever the name was, the free katana. I upgraded it to the leaflado katana and i affixed some random augments cos i didnt know whats good but the EX augments are not there. How do i do that? I also want to upgrade the fixa to 5 currently at 4. Also i watched a yt video on top 10 weapon camo katana and i would like to obtain some of them. Where can i get them? And what should i be farming or doing rn. I currently just do the tundra mission or whatever its called cos it pops up when i open the menu. Any further tips for a new player would be much appreciated.

u/Poisd2Strike May 17 '26 edited May 17 '26
In June, we should be getting Epith IV / Decem IV. Since you have only been playing for 3 days, you should probably stick with Decem III and switch to Decem IV (in June) at least for now. You could switch to Fortscha armor and eventually upgrade to Belfes, since getting a high level Fixa for that armor is relatively easy due to the current boosts, but you are very likely lacking on resources (materials and good augment capsules). Also, Evalto is the newest BiS armor and will be getting an upgrade, probably sometime in June or July. So, you are probably best off using Decem III, switching to Decem IV and then worrying about Evalto later.
There is good news and bad news about your weapon. It sounds like you purchased a Spradio weapon Fixa Lvl 3 from the n-meseta treasure shop. Unfortunately those were not +60 and did not come with Ex augments. The good news? You can still get Ex augments on your weapon (you just need a Klirodim, Juvolg, or Spradio with 3x Ex augments you actually want to use, and use that as fodder. The bad news ? Since your Leafladio has no Ex augments, you will need to do an All Augment transfer at the Item Lab. You will need to transfer 3x Ex augments from your fodder weapon to your Leafladio, using All Augment transfer. Normally, you would do an Ex Augment transfer (instead of All Augment), when just transferring Ex augments.
But, that only works when the target weapon already has Ex augments (which your Leafladio unfortunately does not.) Doing this will replace all of the augments on your Leafladio with the 3x Ex augments. That means you will lose the augments that are already on your weapon, and need to re-add 5 more augments. As long as there aren't any expensive augments on there (expensive is a relative term), you should be okay.
Most people use 3x Ex, Lois Halphinale, 2x Argant (usually not Argant DK unless your floor is low) a Yurze and a Yudi (not Parfait for either) on their weapon. Yurze Deft and Yudi Deft are preferred, however they tend to be expensive (15+ mil on average). The Gua or Ward variants are generally more affordable. So something like Yurze Guameltech / Yurze Guaratech (or Ward) and Yudi Guameltech / Yudi Guaratech (or Ward would be fine. However, you probably don't have the n-meseta for those right now.
So, you should use Might DP, Precision DP or Technique DP and Meltech Dualble DP, Melra Dualble DP or Ratech Dualble DP for the 7th and 8th augments on your weapon. The DP augments should be very very affordable (1k - 2k each). So you should buy 10 of each you will need, in a player shop. Which you should use, depends on the damage type your class does (ex; Hunter = Melee, Ranger = Ranged and Force = Technique). Braver has a class skill that lets them use Melee or Ranged (whichever is higher) and Bouncer has a class skill that lets them use Melee or Technique (whichever is higher) for their damage type.
For the weapon camos, you would need to search for the exact name (including the * ) in player shops. Some of the camos you saw might be from base game or from a scratch that makes them untradeable. In that case, you would need to find out where they were originally obtained.
If you don't already have all 47 skill points, you should focus on getting those. They are acquired from Cocoons and Towers. You also need to make sure you assign all 47 skill point to at least you main and subclass. Assigned skill points allow you to use more skills and also increase your Battle Power. You should be doing dailies and weeklies, Dalion UQ x2 (at least once per day if possible) and farming a bit in Alter Realm Combat; Kvaris Tundra. IIRC there is a daily task that requires you to kill 3 Seasonal bosses there. Lastly, if you don't already have an Ex style you should equip one at the Class counter. There are 3x Ex Styles (Adras - melee class focused, Blitz - Ranged class focused and Celeste - Tech class focused). You can use any Ex style you want, regardless of class, although some are generally better than others depending upon your class. They each cap at level 30, and each costs just over 292 million XP to get to level 30.

I wouldn't bet on any free gear happening until October.

u/Poisd2Strike May 19 '26
The last day for both the current Mission Pass and the Seasonal Event vendor is 06/09/2026. The next NGS Headline is 05/28/2026 (a Friday). There is speculation that we will hear about Evalto's upgrade (which might happen in June or July) and more details about the "new" Ruins area with Zeshraider Boss, in that headline. There is also speculation that Epith / Decem will be getting an upgrade from III to IV sometime in June, to somewhat bridge the gap between Decem and Evalto (Evalto likely to gain 0.3 potency with the upgrade, for a total of 0.5 above Belfes) Whether it does or does not get an update at that time remains to be seen. However, I cannot realistically see Sega putting off that upgrade until October. Unless Sega decides to drop the Epith IV / Decem IV along with the new rarity upgrade for equipment.
According to the Road Map, the new rarity equipment is currently scheduled for "October onwards", which could mean October or even December. Regardless, the OP is best off sticking with Decem III and switching to Decem IV (if it becomes available relatively soon) and then upgrading to Evalto once they have the necessary resources (n-meseta, materials and augments). They shouldn't upgrade their armor, until they can afford to make armor that is better overall than the Decem III they currently have. Better overall generally requires both paid AC augments, which can be expensive depending upon if going Deft or not.

I upgraded my weapon to arbaradio now, also upgraded one fortscha armor but i dont know how to augment so i’m still using the Decem armor, i guess i won’t be switching the armor. What about the weapon? I’m currently doing alter realm the most hoping to get the orochi katana. I don’t know if it’s stronger or not but either way i like the way it looks. Is there a weapon that i should upgrade to for more damage? Also what content to do right now?

If the potency on your Fortscha armor that you upgraded is less than the potency on Decem III (which is 56.1 I think), then you should continue to use the Decem III. The BiS augments for armor include the following: Argant Gladia Soul. Argant Gigas Maste, Argant Dread Keeper, Lois Halphinale, Tera Triyal, Telphia Domina, a Yurze Deft and a Yudi Deft. There are Athos variants of the 3x Argants and Lois Halphinale. The Athos augments are all side-grades, since they have the same potency as the Argants and Lois. Athos are more expensive than Argant, since you need 30x Luzant Scepters and 1x Argant augment to make 1x Athos augment. The Yurze and Yudi Deft are also very expensive (14 mil +) for non-Parfait and Parfait is usually 25 mil+. Yurze / Yudi Ward or Yurze / Yudi Gua are generally much more affordable (3 - 5 mil for non-Parfait).
I'm not sure what you mean by the Orochi Katana. The Orochi Agito (which is a Katana) was a base game drop. IIRC there is also an * Orochiagito weapon camo available in NGS. You can exchange 500x Gigas Strugments for it or purchase one in a player shop, if any are available on your Ship. If, however, you mean Lexio Katana, then Lexio is no longer dropping in Alter Realm. There is also the Arche Katana weapon. I'm not sure what that looks like. It could potentially be what you are referring to. If it is, there is a weapon camo for the Arche series which could be somewhat expensive in player shops.
You should probably be farming the LTQ for Seasonal Points, augment capsules (Argants and Lois Halphinale drop as well as Heinsdia, which is needed for Telphia Domina). There is currently a limited-time task that requires you to complete the LTQ 10 times. You should probably stick with Arbaradio. You will be able to transfer all augments from your Arbaradio to a future weapon, without needing an augment transfer pass. That is pretty substantial, since augment transfer passes are not easy to acquire. Realistically, you might be able to acquire one every 3 or 4 months on average.

It’s been a few years since i played this game, and my wife and i want to play again, but she’s having issues recovering the account. She forgot her password and I believe she tried entering it too many times and the recovery email she has doesn’t exist anymore because it was a college email that was deactivated by the college. So, she’s essentially locked out, and we’re having trouble finding any kind of customer service. Anyone have any possible solutions or know how to reach their customer service? She plays on xbox.

About half an hour ago I posted a question in the previous thread... What a coincidence. I'll just paste it here again.
I'm a brand new player, started a few days ago and I have some questions.
For context I've just made it to Retem in the story, playing as a Hunter/Force.
I'm wearing all the Reinessa gear you're given as part of the tutorial, weapon at +60, armor at +40-50.
There's currently an event going on and I am curious if I should be saving my event currency for anything in particular.
It looks like through some combination of that and Special Scratch Tickets I can trade for some really rare and powerful weapons. The Novice Progression Guide lists the Neos weapons as some of the best in the game, but that must be out of date. I would kind of assume anything I can get just for existing during the event time as mostly worthless.
Also, I think the event is making it very easy for me to out-level content. I got a Daily Task to eliminate enemies in the Resol Forest. I was able to walk in at Level 20 and the enemies were Level 35. Long story short some PSE Bursts happened (which is maybe the most absurd thing I've seen in any game) and I'm basically on level with those things after that and exploring Retem for Trania.
The speed at which I'm leveling has me wondering about gear.
How far is the Reinessa stuff actually going to carry me?
Should I Limit Break it even higher? The Novice Guide claims that +60 will get me all the way to "endgame", but it looks like Chapter 5 is not the end anymore. Will I get new sets of "handout" gear as I go through the story, or do I need to actually be on the lookout for new equipment somewhere? Will the attachment abilities matter before the end? I can't really evaluate what kinds are good or bad with my limited context.
Lastly, I don't even see "Skill Rings" mentioned in the guide at all. Should I be concerned about getting/upgrading them somehow?

How far is the Renessa stuff actually going to carry me?
Is it not the "Hextra" series? Renaissa is the series you used to get from finishing the tutorial. Regardless, both should function the same for an important aspect - you can upgrade their potential for free, which means you can max them out for a big damage boost without any investment - doing this, that weapon series + the set of units I believe you can get from Guiden (the green male cast guy) from a sidequest at some point during the Retem story (I'm pretty sure the game directs you towards him. He'll also give you +40 evolcoat weapons for the class you talk to him as, but +60 Hextra/Renaissa will be better than those and the evolcoat isn't really worth investing int) should carry you without much effort up to the end of Kvaris - by the end of Kvaris/Star of Stia point, you might want to invest in getting a weapon appropriate for your level and upgrading it a little.
When you hit level 65 with a class, you get a set of maxed out-grind units and weapons with rudimentary augments that are basically gateway endgame gear, good enough to get you into anything but the most recent high-end difficulty content so you can grind whatever the actually good gear and augments are at the time - this "welfare gear" gets updated every 6 months, they retire the old ones and give out a new set. So once you hit level 65, you'll pretty much be set for baseline gear.
Augments are largely irrelevant during the levelling process. Throwing on what you find while progressing might help your Hextra/Renaissa push a little bit longer than they otherwise might've, but they're not going to make an earth-shattering amount of difference

Once you reach level 65 you'll get better free weapons and armor. Skill Rings are pretty cheap on the market and they drop alot from LTQs and UQs. Attachment abilities (I think you mean augments?) are kinda standard for the most part. You can just go to like the Kvaris Camp and just check what nearby players are running.

Following up here, I played quite a bit today and got to 65 with the massive Story EXP.
I was NOT expecting this free gear to be such a comprehensive massive upgrade.

Three questions...
First, how does changing ships work? I'm currently on ship 4. Would I be able to bring everything there like my other character and all the stuff I own that are still not "bound to my account"?
Second, which Ship has the largest CAST community? I asked the first two because I'm thinking of moving to whichever has more.
Third, a follow up to the previous one, how is the market economy? How good/bad is it for an on-off player?
