Quick question - Quick answer

Does one person mode work sort of like offline mode did on GC, where monsters can't combo you to death? I seem to remember that on GC...
Nope, it's broken, because you're still online. Don't fight Ultimate Olga Flow in solo mode. His attacks still do tons of damage, as in GC offline, but you don't get respite on BB, so as soon as you stop falling down, you get instantly chained to death on form 1, just as you would with Baranz missles in online mode. Olga Flow is easier in multi mode than solo mode as a result.

Do his attacks actually do more damage in solo mode? (I don't fall down in multi-mode at this point, so...)
The green orbs do something like 200 damage each offline, and the spinning green sword does like 300 damage offline, whereas the orbs do like 50 damage online and the sword does perhaps 5 damage.

When you're offline, two or three orbs may hit you simultaneously and cause you to fall down, but if only one hits you, respite saves you from getting hit by the rest of them. The spinning sword knocks you down, and when you get up, respite gives you enough time to cast Resta before you get hit a second time and fall down again. If you don't fall down, the sword hits you for 300 damage once every two seconds or so, because respite protects you from getting chained.

When you're online, the orbs peck you to death by hitting you with 50 damage 20+ times, and the spinning swords hits you with a chain of 5 damage constantly. You can use a mate, but you can't cast Resta, since you're always getting hit.

In BB solo mode, as soon as your HP gets high enough to not fall down from the orbs, they turn into Baranz missles and kill you instantly (since there is no way to always dodge them, as they come at you from different angles). At least you have the option of running from the green spinning sword, but if you get hit, you take 300 damage in a chain and die instantly with no hope of survival.
 
Can someone confirm that I cannot get v801 as a bluefull from astarks on very hard. I was going off this but under the drop rate on the website, it shows Caduceus as the drop. Just want to make sure before I waste more time trying to get something I can't actually get.

If you are playing on Ephinea's server and check the drop list: http://ephinea.pioneer2.net/drops.php?secid=3
Then yes, the drop is Caduceus 1⁄370.68 for Bluefull Astark. I do not believe the PSO-W drop rates *for episode 4* are relevant to any server (but I could be mistaken).

*edit: clarification
 
Remember Soda did some changes regarding to episode 4 drops based on some old sources, I don't have links to that/those topic(s) but I do recall it being a thing.
 
(1) So I heard about Magic rock "Heart Key" being available from Valentine's day and White day quests. After some more searching there's also people saying that in Blue Burst the reward was replaced by Rambling May. What's the real situation here?
(2) Where can I find an accurate/up-to-date list of minimal amount of PDs to trade for a certain item at Paganini's place?

From what I read it's changed to rambling may thank god because I spent alot of time, hunting trading and saving 100 pds for my 2 heart keys to make sweetheart Armor just for it to have no value because a quest gives them out for free. That change was a smart one and I hope it's true
 
Yes, White Day gives Rambling May in BB.

Heart Key isn't "worthless" if it's given out in White Day though... it requires preliminary steps in Valentine's a month beforehand, and it's only available for one month, and it can't be done infinitely due to those preliminaries in Valentine's in February.
 
I have something weird to ask. Both FLOWEN'S SWORD (replica/military) and FINAL IMPACT have LCK+ and EVP- bonuses according to ItemPMT. But for whatever reason, EVP- bonus doesn't show up on the equipment screen. I've used Lee's ItemPMT editor to check BB's ItemPMT and manually checked GC's ItemPMT with a Hex Editor. Both show the same. GC stuff for reference:

Code:
FLOWEN'S SWORD: 4 (stat boost index)
04 @ 0x2ED6

LCK+ 5
EVP- 15
070B0005000F @ 0xDE68
http://www.pso-world.com/images/items/flowensword03.jpg

Code:
FINAL IMPACT: 13 (stat boost index)
0D @ 0x37E6

LCK+ 10
EVP- 30	
070B000A001E @ 0xDE9E
http://www.pso-world.com/images/items/finalimpact02.jpg


Shot weapon has a EVP- bonus too, and it shows up just fine in the equipment screen:
Code:
Shot: 28 (stat boost index)
1C @ 0x36CE

EVP- 10
0B00000A0000 @ 0xDEF8

Just wondering what's going on. ;)

i know what you mean but compare that to 50 pds still much much easyer to obtain
 
Why does the Del Rappy/Sand Rappy ratio seem so high on the kill counter page? According to the kill counter it appears that the Del Rappy spawn chance would be about 1/100 instead of 1/512. Did the spawn rate change or are rappy kills counted in a weird way?
 
Rappy kills don't count unless you actually kill them. Also, the people killing the Rappies are most likely using MA4 to check a huge spawn of Rappies to see if a Del Rappy is present. If its not, they just restart the quest and try again without killing them. Fairly easy to skew the numbers like that.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a guide for trading stuff. Sorry I didn't know where to ask.

Yeah! Here's how you do it.
Start > Items > Trade Window
Give everything to me
Accept. :)
 
Is Kondrieu's rate 1/10 on Ephinea or has it been altered to a lower trigger chance? I'm 25 runs in without a sighting. The server statistics show 1 rare sighting in the last 59 boss fights.

It could be even worse, if someone is explicitly farming Kondry and leaving the arena if is not him xD
Those counters are for kills

I could see people doing that on hard mode, but for me it is too much exp to pass up on ult. Still, my question remains; Is the rare appearance 1/10?
