Item Lab (NGS)

The Item Lab is the place to go to enhance your equipment in several ways.

Item Enhancement

One of the easiest ways to improve the power of your weapons and units is through the use of Item Enhancement (also known as Grinding).

Weapons and Units use the "New Type" Weapon Grinding system found in PSO2. By feeding other weapons/units to the weapon/unit you want to Enhance, the Grind EXP on the equipment increases. There is a base 10% chance of Critical Success, which doubles the Grind EXP gained. When the Grind EXP bar fills, the equipment gains a Grind Level, and the equipment name shows a +# at the end, showing the Grind Level of the equipment.

'Fodder' EXP and Cost per Item

The cost of Grinding depends solely on the rarity of enhanced (Base) item. For example feeding a Gold Prim Sword to any Weapon will always cost 5,200 N-Meseta and provide 800 EXP, while feeding a Gold Prim Sword II to the same Weapon will also cost 5,200 N-Meseta but it will provide 100,900 EXP. Therefore, it's more efficient to use higher rarity Material items.

Base Item Rarity	Cost per Material Item	Material Item Rarity	Base EXP per Material Item
	5,700		1,300
	5,500		1,200
	5,200		1,100
	5,000		1,000
	4,700		900
	4,500		800
	4,200		700
	4,000		600
	3,000		350
	2,000		200
	1,000		100

Limit Break

By default, all Weapons and Units can increase their Grind Level up to a limit inherent to their rarity. However, by expending N-Meseta, Minerals and Arms Refiners, this limit can be increased in increments of 10, up to a maximum of 90.

PSO2 Special Ability Conversion

Capsule Exchange

Also known as Affixes, Special Abilities are like enchantments that you add to Weapons and Units to increase their damage, increase max HP & PP and grant other useful effects.

In New Genesis, Special Abilities are now added to equipment by using Ability Capsules. When using one copy of a Ability Capsule on its own, the Special Ability from that Capsule will have a very low chance of being successfully added to the equipment. However if you use multiple copies of the same Capsule, you can improve the success rate for that Special Ability. Up to 10 Capsules of the same type can be used.

• For example, if you wanted to add the Foms Soul I Special Ability to a weapon, using one C/Foms Soul I Capsule will give it a 9% chance of succeeding. But use ten of these Capsules, and the chance to successfully affix the Ability increases to 90%.

Equipment comes with a Special Ability slots that determine how many different Abilities that can be added to that piece of equipment. The number of slots depends on the item's Enhancement Level.

Enhancement Level	0 ~ +19	+20 ~ +39	+40 ~ +49	+50 ~ +60	+61 ~ +80	+81 ~ +90
Number of Slots	2	3	4	5	6	7

Multiple Abilities can be added at the same time as long as each of them belongs to a different category. Abilities can be replaced on individual basis, without compromising all other Abilities. A failed attempt to replace an Ability will result in its slot becoming empty.

• For example, Ability LC belongs to category A8. An item that already has it affixed cannot receive another category A8 Ability, such as Ability IV in another of its slots. In such a case, Ability LC would be replaced by Ability IV in its current slot.

A list of these Special Abilities can be found at the List of Special Abilities page.

Support Items

• Ability Success is added to the sum of all used capsules. For example: Ability IV (8%) x10 + N-Ability Success +15% = 95%.
• If multiple Abilities are added at the same time and at least one addition fails, Ability Protection will automatically fail all additions and refund all Capsules used. When gambling with very expensive Capsules and Ability Protection is used, it's better to attempt adding them individually rather than all at once.

PSO2 Special Abilities

When importing equipment with Special Abilities or Super Special Abilities from Phantasy Star Online 2, they will be replaced by Legalo Special Abilities of corresponding value while in New Genesis. These changes are temporary and the original abilities will remain upon returning to Phantasy Star Online 2. A list of what abilities convert to what on the PSO2 Special Ability Conversion page.

Release Potential

Weapons have inherent properties called Potentials which can be considered as an additional skill for the player, so long as the weapon is equipped and drawn out; they range from damage buffs, to utility skills like improving healing items. These must be unlocked on each of your weapons by using Photon Chunks and Meseta.

PSO2 Weapon Potentials

New Type weapons imported from Phantasy Star Online 2 that have unlocked Potentials will have their Potentials converted into equivalent New Genesis Potentials. These changes are temporary and the original Potentials will remain upon returning to Phantasy Star Online 2.

Multi-weapon

You can combine two weapons of different types together to create a "Multi-weapon", a special weapon that allows for the use of both weapons from one weapon pallette. This includes using the normal attacks, Photon Arts, Weapon Actions, and class equip requirements of both weapons.

In order to combine weapons, they must be of the same 'series'. For example, while you are able to combine a " Terseus Sword" and " Terseus Rifle" together, you cannot combine a " Terseus Sword" with a " Troward Knuckle".

Note that the weapons used in a multi-weapon will retain their damage types. For example, a Sword / Rifle multi-weapon will do striking damage when using the sword, and ranged damage when using the Rifle. The base weapon of a multi-weapon will also be equipped by default when swapping to the multi-weapon. Used Techniques will be cast from the currently equipped weapon in the multi-weapon, if it is capable of casting Techniques.

The process of creating a multi-weapon cannot be reversed to return the weapons used to their original state.

Different Potentials within the same weapon series

All weapons in the same series usually have the same Potential, which means that when creating a multi-weapon, the resulting multi-weapon will have the same Potential regardless of how they were put together. However some weapon series, such as the Relic series, have many different Potentials depending on weapon type.

When creating a multi-weapon using two weapons from the Relic series for example, the multi-weapon's base weapon will determine the final Potential. Other aspects behave the same as any regular multi-weapon.

Preset Abilities

Preset Abilities can be transferred from one piece of equipment to another, provided the equipment has an identical name. Depending on the Preset Skill level and the equipment, the cost to transfer Preset Skills will differ. There is no Meseta cost associated with adding Preset Skills.
