New Genesis: Item Lab

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. 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.

Limit Break

Weapons and Units come with a Enhancement limit. Using a specific material and Meseta, you can raise this limit to a certain amount.

Add Special Abilities

Also known as Affixes, 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, Abilities are now added to equipment by using Ability Capsules. When using one copy of a Ability capsule on its own, the Ability from that capsule will have a very low chance of successfully affixing to the equipment, however if you use multiple copies of the same capsule, you can improve the success rate for that Ability.

For example, if you wanted to add the " Foms Soul I" ability to a weapon, using one " C/Foms Soul I" capsule will give it a 9% chance of succeeding, but use ten of the capsule, and the chance to successfully affix to the weapon increases to 90%.

Equipment comes with a Ability limit cap that determines how many different Abilities that can be affixed to that piece of equipment. So far, weapons and units have only been seen with a cap of 2 Abilities. This can be increased with Grinding/Enhancement.

Multiple Abilities can be affixed at the same time in all of the slots available. A limit to how many capsules can be used at the same time is not known.

PSO2 Special Abilities

Special Ability Conversion

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.

In order to combine weapons, they must be of the same 'series', and the weapon being merged into the base weapon must have a equal or higher Grind Level than the base weapon.
