In addition to Gallimaufry, you will need the items below to enhance your Prime Weapons.
Octahedrite
Hexahedrite
Mesosiderite
Voracious Psyche
Elijah in Upper Jeuno (G-6) now grants voracious psyche as a reward for completing Peculiar Foes objectives in Records of Eminence, as long as you have fulfilled the following conditions.
Complete all the Peculiar Foe objectives at least once
Complete The Voracious Resurgence
Note: You may only obtain up to 5 voracious psyche per month.
hmm. well then.
Quote: Certain Sortie notorious monsters now behave differently depending on the stage of the Prime Weapon you are carrying.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
reposting from the other thread. very curious how this will work, what it will do, etc.; could make the NMs weaker for easier solo/lowman, or it could make them stronger to allow them to drop stronger materials.

Thanks Funkworkz as usual, this double update stuff is confusing, but this is a HUGE one so far from what I can see, 2 new songs... and lots more
Hope to see you in stream soon
Will edit with what I find, Big spoiler warnings with my links guys!
2 new songs? Where? I only see Aria

2 new songs? Where? I only see Aria Think it was just a typo on early .dat mined instrument, had different song names on different stages so I know at least some people thought there was more than 1 song being introduced.

If you have stage 5, NMs will ***themselves and die as soon as you are in aggro range :D

Now jokes aside I think it will just alter they drop rate, nothing more. It's wrote like it's changing them more, but I think it's just weirdly written in SE style.

It made me slightly change my opinion about needing to buy the stones via muffins. Been thinking for a min now that depending on the stage it'll just force the NM to drop the specific stone you need for the stage you're on.

Only reason I think that's unlikely is because saying that it changes their behavior is pretty explicit. If it were only about their drops, they would likely have said that. For clarity, the JP side alludes to behavior as well as far as I can tell.

"Note: You may only obtain up to 5 voracious psyche per month."
This is where the 6-month comment for Prime completion came from maybe? Depending on the amount required, this might be the time gate for primes.

NM's now have one(1) line of dialogue when aggroed by someone holding a stage two prime weapon! Enjoy everyone!

There's a good chance the bosses will be more difficult in addition to dropping the better materials. They'll probably get an Ilvl boost to make them harder to take down. We'll have to see if they get new mechanics or abilities. This is where the initial weaponskill wall bug (one eaponskill max every 10 seconds) gets reintroduced as an intended feature isn't it. I'm mostly not serious with that suggestion, but this is s-e. Anything is possible.

Who wants to take bets on how many "emergency maintenance" there will be?

Oh holy hell. The prime weapons got a massive overhaul on their looks. There are a bunch of new dat files for them. They look amazing. I'll post a few pictures in a couple minutes.

In the interview (posted by you I think) Fujito referenced Sortie being limiting factor because it's time gated, so it's unlikely that Psyche will hold you back here.

I think that was just banter with the interviewer -- they sorta spoke vaguely about "end of the year" and then that led to six months, but he countered by saying some may finish earlier, so.
time will tell i guess

You need to remember Fujito said the process is soloable (and I doubt he meant some cheesy SCH strategies), so I doubt NMs will be harder. In fact they might be somehow debuffed to make it easier to solo.

Now THESE are some BADASS looking weapons

I guess we have different taste then. They look horrible.. EDIT: beside red Kraken Club

I mean. They're generic models but red. And not Primes.

They're the weapons the new master trial enemies will have.
(Basically a copy paste of Iroha's fight, with more heroes)

What is the final boss for TVR? Don't see a new Chaos model or anything
By Shuko 2023-05-24 01:22:11
There is a copy of chaos in the data
By Bosworth 2023-05-24 01:22:45
You talking about the recolored Bahamut? We already fought that
