I'm trying to amass a nice mag collection from all section id's now that I have access to online play (so i can transfer them all to my playable characters), and just now read up on the andhaka force only mag (when def is > 45).

Since I never played forces, and i hardly knew about this rare unlisted mag, i didn't even know it existed / any mag would ever need to be made with more than necessary defense points.

But while reading up on it, some sites said you have to have the def > 45 before the mag hits level 50... which seems like tedious and annoying work.

If I make just a pow mag and increase its defense as well (standard di/trimates), and then finish off with just defense increasing post 50, won't it re-evolve (like most mags re-evolve a few levels if their stat allocation shifts)?

Or is it absolutely necessary to keep all other stats in-check while making def 45 before level 50?

awesome you play online sweet dc or pc?

i don't really know much about mags only what they do for people maybe there is a guide on game faqs?

I'm on dc ftw

Mags are the tiny tamagotchi-like item-hungry critters that hover over the pso character's shoulders. They're actually the reason I got hoooked on the game, theres 21 standard ones (and the andhaka makes 22) avaiable, and more if you can find specific items to evolve them. (well in theory there's also more with lower evolutions...)

Its a vanity thing really, but i'm trying to make one of each and have all 23 spread across my 3 characters (a force, hunter, and ranger). Having this many is pointless other than the fact that I have them all...



While on the topic, if anyone has much experience, I'm at a random standstill while working on another specific mag. I want to make a Ravana for my Ranger, which would have the final stats of
10/170/10/10 (so it has access to shifta/deband)
but at level 199, it will have
10/170/9/10, so that it will not shift into whatever mag requires pow>dex...

I can't remember exactly, but i think its that the mag would evolve 5 levels after the stats have shifted, so would keeping it at those stats make the mag stay as a Ravana from level 199 to 200 (when i give it that last single dex point)? Or will i screw myself and it will evolve as soon as I make pow>dex

(again iirc, it goes in order, so even if dex=mind, since dex is first, it would count first?)


I'm also trying this same strategy on a kabanda from my ranger with 170 mind.





Also also also... all my characters typically are in the black attire, so the mags all have the same black color scheme. I know that when they are lower level they are sometimes open to color changing when I change the color of my character's outfit & level up, but if they are all 200, they won't change color will they? Or is it that every 5 level stat-checking thing again?

hmm i have a quick question why would you wan't to make a pure dex mag. dex online increases ata if im right and all that does is make you have higher hit % and use better guns. but atp increases dmg so wouldent you want to also lvl what up atleasts thats what im doing im at 10/40/38/9 and im making a magic mag to use spells which is close to 30 mind now

well, being able to equip a powerful weapon might out weigh the small amount of atp. this goes double if you are in ULT mode. you wont even be able to hit the monsters at first. so having higher hit and being able to equip a red hand gun might be just what the Dr ordered.

Mag farm download, test your mag and feeds before making the real deal
Ignore any 4th rare evolutions because those are GC only

Hmm... that is a fun program, it helped re-establish that my kabanda & ravana will be ok.

The program is aware of the andhaka because you can set it's stats for later feeding, but i'm having some trouble getting a sumba to evolve into one. Sites that I've been reading say that for pinkal force (or any force), power > dex + mind, and def of 45.

I've tried putting the following in the program;

~all power + def, (apparently def would'nt reach 45 by just dimates )
~going back and forth between dimates & difluids after level 10 & 35 evolution to make def go up with minimal power (very annoying...)
~+ lots of fiddlings

Neither of these methods made an andhaka with the program, maybe the program doesn't know of its evolution since its one of those random/rare defense based ones?

i don't know why it doesn't evolve to one, that is one hard mag to make indeed.
I also tried and i couln't make one

Ragol.co.uk does list the mag as a force evolution, but on pso-world the mag ins't listed on the possible force mags.

Weird.

I was using pso-world for their mag data, and they had it listed here;

http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?o ... artid=1016

which was tagged as ver.1 & ver.2 dreamcast available. From what else I've read, there are just 3 "rare" force only mags that happen when def is over 45 (some people claim that it has to be 45 before level 50...which I'm unsure about since mag's can still evolve if stats are changed?)

One is andhaka, the other two are just bana's with a stat variation with lower power (since bana is typically a hunter mag).

In my quest for all 22 mag's, I already have a very pretty bana, and will end up with 8 force mags (giving my hucast and racaseal only 7 each), so I hardly care about the rare force bana



Since everything else is lined out and I have oodles of work to do for the other mags, and my inevitable force will be pinkal id, i might just wait to get the other 21 finished before I jump on this andhaka. That might give me time to hunt down that video on youtube I saw with the person with an andhaka, and ask them about it

3rd evolution mags can evolve at lvl 50,55,60,65,70,75,.....200
50 is just the mininum

Maybe mag farm has that bug, but not the game.
