Photon Drops can also be | [[Photon Drop]], commonly abbreviated as '''PD''', is a unique item that is used as a common, valuable currency between players. Photon Drops can drop from any enemy or box in the game on any difficulty. They can also be given to [[Paganini]] in exchange for items and weapon enhancements. Paganini will trade various items for PDs, at prices ranging from 1 to 99 Photon Drops; he will also add specials to [[ES Weapons]] for set amounts of PDs, and he will add attributes to non-ES Weapons at a rate of 5% per 20 PDs. | ||
==Uses== | |||
In {{PSO link|quest|Gallon's Shop}}, talking to [[Hopkins]] with at least one Photon Drop on hand and selecting "Yes" will prompt him to bring the player to his father, Paganini. "Exchange for an item" is the only available option by default, but others can be unlocked after completing special prerequisites in other quests. | |||
== | ===Exchanging for Items=== | ||
Selecting "Exchange for an item" will allow the player to trade all of the Photon Drops in their inventory for an item from Paganini; the selection of items he offers depends on the number of PDs in the player's inventory. | |||

If the player brings Paganini the data from the terminal at the top of {{PSO link|quest|The East Tower}}, the "Modify ES Weapon" option will be available for the character that completes this sidequest, though it can be completed on any difficulty. (Paganini will no longer be accessible in this quest for that character once you have done this, as an alternative method of checking completion.) | |||
* Start the East Tower quest | |||
{{ | * Talk to Hopkins in the lab (he is in the same place you would find him in {{PSO icon|quest}} Gallon's Shop for accessing "Modify ES Weapon" after sidequest completion) | ||
* Kill Epsilon at the top floor of Control Tower, then interact with the terminal (you will receive a Quest Board item). | |||
** Upon killing Epsilon, player teleporters (via {{PSO link|tool|Telepipe}} or {{PSO link|disk|Ryuker}}) can no longer be created, and any that are active will be turned off. The gate in the Lab leading to the Central Control Area will also become locked. If you use the provided teleporter before interacting with the terminal, you will be forced to redo the quest to properly complete the sidequest. | |||
* Return to the lab and talk to Hopkins ''before'' ending the quest | |||
This allows the player to add a special attack to their ES Weapon, with the available specials depending on the number of PDs in the player's inventory and the ES Weapon in question. | |||

<sup>* HP Revival and TP Revival refer to passive recovery over time, similar to the [[HP/Revival]] and [[TP/Revival]] units.</sup> | |||
Note that [[ES Knuckle]] cannot receive HP Revival and TP Revival, [[ES Psychogun]] can ''only'' receive HP Revival and TP Revival, and [[ES Windmill]] can only receive HP Revival, Jellen, TP Revival, and Zalure. | |||
===Adding Attributes to Weapons=== | |||
As a prerequisite, first the player's character must collect the {{PSO icon|quest}} [[The East Tower|East Tower]] data for Paganini (see [[#Adding Specials to ES Weapons|Adding Specials to ES/S-Rank Weapons]] above for directions). | |||
Then if that character also brings Paganini the data from the terminal in Seabed during {{PSO link|quest|The West Tower}} quest, the "Enhance weapon's Photon" option will be available. This allows the player to add and boost [[Weapon Attributes|attribute]] percentages on their weapons for a set amount of PDs, at 4 PD per 1%, or 20 PDs per 5% on an attribute. A [[Photon Sphere]] can also be used to add 30% to an attribute, but only if the attribute in question is at or below 70%. There are some restrictions to adding attributes: | |||
* a weapon cannot have more than three attributes ([[Excalibur]], [[Lame d'Argent]], [[Sealed J-Sword]], and [[Tsumikiri J-Sword]] cannot have more than two, and ES Weapons can't have any at all), | |||
{{ | * Hit % cannot be added to a weapon, | ||
* an attribute cannot exceed 100%. | |||
