Weapons

Weapons are basic equipment that are used to deal damage to or inflict status effects on the various monsters of Ragol.

All weapons' damage is determined by the wielder's ATP stat regardless of the weapon's type (melee, ranged, or technique). Many weapons also provide a boost to MST to improve the power of techniques (e.g. wands). In order to equip a weapon, players must meet its stat requirement, needing a certain amount of either ATP, ATA or MST to do so.

Weapon types

There are 15 types of weapons in Phantasy Star Online, split into 3 categories of weapons: melee, ranged, and technique. In general, Hunters can equip all the melee weapons, Rangers can equip all the ranged weapons and Forces can equip all the technique weapons, but many weapon types can be worn by other classes, and certain weapons can only be equipped by specific character types (such as HUnewearl or RAcast).

ES weapons

Main article: ES weapons

ES weapons, informally known as S-Rank weapons or S-Ranks, are a special category of weapon which encompass all the weapon types and a few extras, such as the Needle. They have the visual of a basic weapon with a brown photon. Unlike regular weapons, they have a few unique properties:

• Custom 8-character name (A-Z only)
• Cannot have any attributes
• Have a unique special attack which applies a random status, including buffs and debuffs such as Shifta and Zalure.
• Slowly heals the user's HP and TP while equipped

They are obtained after the completion of Challenge Mode with an S-Rank rating.

Grind

Grinding a weapon gives it an additional +2 ATP. All weapons have limits on how much they can be ground, and some weapons cannot be ground at all. A weapon's grind is shown next to its name with a + sign in front of it (e.g. Saber +3).

Monogrinders, Digrinders, and Trigrinders are the three items that are used to add grind to weapons. They will add +1, +2 and +3 grind, respectively. Template:Items
