While playing the game, press the START , Black , or White button
to display the Main Game Menu. From here you can access your
Item Pack, customize your controls, access tools and techniques,
chat, review your status, and change your game options. This
section details some of the most common features of the main
game menus.
Note: Gameplay does not pause while any of the main game
menus are open.
ITEM PACK
Using the Item Pack menu, you can equip yourself with weapons
and armor, utilize tools, maintain your MAG, view a map of the area
you are currently in, trade items if you are in the city, and review the
Quest Board. Your Item Pack can hold a maximum of 30 total items
(including weapons and armor) at a time. To equip your character
with weapons or armor, select
Equip .
Items
Weapons, armor, items, and tools can be found (and picked up)
inside the boxes, with their colors indicating what type of item
they are: weapons are orange, armor blue, and tools green. Each
weapon requires a certain amount of ability value to equip it, and
armor requires a certain character level to use it.
Photon Effi ciency
In PSO, all weaponry is
powered by photon energy.
The effectiveness of a weapon
used to attack an enemy will
vary according to that weapon’s
photon effi ciency level. Different
types of enemies have different
attributes, and the amount
of damage you can infl ict on each type will vary according to
the suitability of the weapon used to attack it. Also, the photon
effi ciency of weapons will vary, even among weapons with the
same name.
To check the photon effi ciency of a weapon, select the weapon
in question from the Equip or Items Menu in the Item Pack on
the Main Menu; use the left and right triggers to toggle the right
window. A green-colored weapon name indicates that weapon has
a photon effi ciency other than zero.
Native Increase/decrease in effi ciency against native
creatures.
A. Beast Increase/decrease in effi ciency against altered beasts.
Machine Increase/decrease in effi ciency against machine types.
Dark Unknown.
