Dark Flow will never be unlocked on this server (as long as Matt is around, at least). You are right - unlocked DF is stupidly broken.

I think Cookie's argument is kinda the point, also. Because they did things like unlock Dark Flow, they had to make better and better merges for Forces to "keep up" (well to be honest they didn't), and also unlock weapons on Ranger for them to keep up as well (they didn't though).
So if Dark Flow was unlocked here, it could very well go down the same path because people would feel like their classes which don't benefit from a gear change have now become weaker and require buffs.
And that is one of many reasons why things are not changing here (apart from HUnewearl being able to equip Clio because that felt like a very massive oversight).
Also I personally believe the original merges are far more balanced than what SCHTServ and other private servers pumped out. While I can personally see merit to 20% Si/Gi/Ra (I actually am in favour of this, I've thought about it before), I dunno if we'll ever do that, maybe if the community at large wants it.

What is the best Heaven Punisher and Handgun: Guld hunts?

Amitie's Memo is obtainable on Ephinea. It is available from events.
The following mag cells are also available, they appear in events:
- Pioneer Parts
- Heart of Morolian
- Yahoo! Engine
The events they appear in are not fixed, so be sure to pick them up if you're around for the event, or you'll have to buy them from another player.
Since it might also be asked: Tablet is obtainable from Coren and Liberta Kit is obtainable from Shambertin.
Skyly MU3 for Heaven Punisher, Whitill FoaM for Guld.
There's also Bluefull Ego for Heaven Punisher if you want something less effort, but it will take more time on average.

This is a really subjective question overall, since some people want certain items and other people don't, and different people have different plans in how to obtain the items. For starters you can take a look at this guide. Note that some IDs has drops that are good for a character but not good for the character to hunt on, e.g. RAmar/RAmarl is probably the best character to hunt Towers for certain Hunter gears. A huntable decent battle unit such as V101, H/Battle, or G/Battle is rather nice early on, but less useful later on. A huntable V502 is also nice, but that's kind of difficult to hunt solo and you might not want to hunt it on a Hunter character. Long term hunts for Hunters are good slicers (Diska of Braveman; some people use Charge Diska and skips this), good swords/partisans (Zanba, Yunchang, or TJS, and Flowen's 3084 for non-androids), good ATP-based multi-hit weapons (Jizai/Sange&Yasha, Black King Bar/Vivienne/Double Cannon/Girasole, Daylight Scar).
tl;dr: This question is really subjective, if you just want some random IDs thrown at you, could try Yellowboze (good stuff all around, has good VH addslot hunt), Whitill (has both V101, V502, RR, and some nice stuff), Skyly (if fancy swords are your thing; might want to put this ID on a RAmar/RAmarl though).
Apart from what Matt wrote, Purplenum has LDS first room Mericarols hunt, roughly as hard as Gibbles PW/Gi Gue SJS hunts. Girth's Spaceship quests is also good for Guld, since many things are vulnerable to Hell and delsabers are fairly common there.

Armor - Try to hunt or buy a Luminous Field or Lieutenant Mantle, both have pretty solid DFP for their level. Lieutenant Mantle also has built in Trap Vision, which is a double edged sword if you play with Casts who don't appreciate getting their traps det too early.
Shield - Get yourself a Ranger Wall from Gallon's Shop and never look back.

Dress plate - EDK armour
Stealth suit - lv120 EVP armour (can be obtained for free by completing gallons plan a few times on vhard or ult solomode)
Paired with lieutenant mantle (and a dfp armour if you like them, many don't. - virus armour, aura field, luminous field) you'll be geared out completely.
Ranger wall is the only practical shield choice till RR.

The thing with Spirit is it has limitations. Once you are low on TP you are required to use a fluid otherwise you will keep missing (like when you forget/run out of meseta for Charge). Ofc you can stack multiple adepts to reduce TP cost, and use Parasite instead of Aura, carry 10x TFluid etc but Beserk is limitless. Also, if you make Spirit your restricted to two classes with Needle (Ramar/Ramarl), if you make Beserk, you will be able to use on any of the 4 Rangers in the future. If you are HC Beserk can be risky but I still prefer it on my sranks.

It's about as viable as Berserk, although Spirit is always harder to use than the other two sacrificial specials, and restricts usage of techs. Getting Berserk also means you can share it with an android ranger if you happen to have one or plan to make one.
Sacrificial Needles have less ATA than Sacrificial Arms, which is always an issue; Androids with Berserk Needle can freeze a group with a trap and do two combos while they're frozen, which is one situation where they fare "better" than Arms; meanwhile RAmarl may have to rely on her natural ATA. On the bright side it's safer than Berserk. Overall, they might or might not be more useful than Arms against certain waves, I'm not experienced enough to know that.

Is it worth using a Blue Odoshi Violet Nimaidou on HUcast/HUcaseal to possibly give an extra slot for them? (Like using POSS,Cure Unit,V502,Smartlink,ADEPT,C/Ability together etc.) or should I just stick with V101 Max Stats Plans? Would a BOVN Plan limit too much the armors I could use?
Also, what are the easiest ways to get Photon Crystals?

It's not worth as a max stat plan. You can use it above level 150 to save a slot if it makes it easier for you to level, but there are too many armors that you'll want to use when you reach level 200: D-Parts ver1.01 for some extra ATP, Thirteen to raise DoB's ATP and ATA, Dress Plate for EDK, Black Hound Cuirass for DFP, etc. Beeing stuck with BOVN isn't convenient.
