Bumped.org Update

Now that the site has a small community, the question remains if we should upgrade to a commenting system. If we switch to Disqus, you can sort, rate, and reply to comments. The main drawback is you MAY not be able to comment anonymously.

It's not our intent to force someone to sign up just to comment, however it will be easier to keep track of your comments and responses site-wide. This will also allow for a mini forum which people requested a while back. The shoutbox will continue to remain open for anonymous commenting for the time being.

The voting is now closed, we will tally up the 286 votes.

  • Standing Death Lv1 = Standing Snipe 107%
  • Standing Death Lv3 = Standing Snipe 111%

Weapon Potential Abilities Procedure:

  • First grind the weapon to +10 because only weapons that reach +10 can unleash their potential ability.
  • A menu in the Item Lab will allow you to release its hidden ability.
  • When you unlock this ability, it resets the grind to +0
  • Upd: When you unlock the ability, it costs photon spheres and meseta.

Leveling up Potential Abilities:

  • Each potential ability has a LV attached.
  • To increase this level you must grind the weapon to +10
  • At the item lab you can increase the level of the potential ability which will then reset the grind back to +0
  • You can do this again and again, it is unknown at this time if there's a cap for how high your potential ability can go.
