Alright, so you're playing Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and you're thinking, "Man, I wanna summon Shenron! I wanna wish for more power, maybe a new outfit, or even just to look cooler than I already do!" I get it. We've all been there. It's like that feeling when you REALLY want that limited-edition pizza topping but gotta jump through hoops to get it.
The good news is, collecting Dragon Balls in Xenoverse 2 isn’t rocket science. It's more like… organized chaos. Think of it as a scavenger hunt designed by a hyperactive monkey who REALLY loves fighting.
The PQ Grind: Your Main Squeeze
Your bread and butter for Dragon Ball hunting is going to be Parallel Quests (PQs). These are basically side missions you can do solo or with friends (which makes it way more fun, trust me). Not all PQs are created equal, though. Some are Dragon Ball goldmines; others are just… well, let's just say you'd be better off training Krillin.
Specifically, you're looking for PQs where you fight Time Patrollers. These guys are your targets. Think of them as those annoying cousins who always raid the cookie jar when you're not looking. They appear randomly during certain PQs.
The golden rule? Keep an eye out for the message “You got an item!” This pops up after defeating a Time Patroller. If the item is a Material Item, well, tough luck, buddy. Try again. But if it's a Key Item, then congrats! You might just have snagged a Dragon Ball.
PQ Recommendations: The Cream of the Crop
So, which PQs are worth your time? Here are a couple of solid choices:
- PQ 04: Namekian Threat: This one is a classic for a reason. It's relatively short and sweet, and Time Patrollers have a decent chance of spawning.
- PQ 15: Saiyan Battle: Another decent option. It can be a bit longer, but offers good Zeni too.
Remember, it's all about the grind. Think of it as practicing your signature dance move until you nail it perfectly. Repetition is key!
The Expert Mission Alternative (If You're Feeling Spicy)
Okay, so Expert Missions aren't *exactly* for Dragon Ball hunting, but hear me out! Completing them can net you Dragon Balls as a reward on occasion. This is especially true when helping out newer players. Imagine teaching someone how to ride a bike and getting a Dragon Ball as a thank you! Sweet!
It's not the most reliable method, but if you’re feeling burnt out on PQs, Expert Missions can be a refreshing (and challenging) change of pace.
The Pro Tips: Level Up Your Dragon Ball Game
- Equip the "Super Spirit Bomb" Super Soul: This Super Soul, obtainable through mixing, increases item drop rates. It’s like wearing lucky socks for a big game.
- Talk to NPCs: Sometimes, NPCs in Conton City will give you hints or even outright give you Dragon Balls. It's worth a quick chat with everyone. Think of it as checking your mailbox – you never know what goodies might be waiting!
- Patience is a Virtue: Seriously, this process can be frustrating. There will be times when you fight a dozen Time Patrollers and get nothing but herbs. Don’t give up! Channel your inner Goku and keep fighting!
In conclusion, getting Dragon Balls in Xenoverse 2 is all about finding the right PQs, beating up Time Patrollers, and having a healthy dose of patience. So go out there, gather those mystical orbs, and make your wishes come true! Just don’t wish for infinite power – that's boring! Maybe wish for a lifetime supply of Senzu Beans instead. You'll thank me later.
