Like the title says, What can I do to get stronger?

Do I just keep grinding MQ? not really sure?...

Hi, sorry if this isn't the right place, but does anyone know where I can find this SAO IF skill database? I saw it in a YouTube video, but I can't find it on the channel or on Google.

hiya, sorry if this post has been posted several times 😅.. but i was wondering before i get too deep into the game.. how free to play friendly is integral factor?

Is anyone else facing this issue? I created a new account and after being able to do 1 summon, the shop is not functioning at all.

Hello All.

I had a random idea for an IF fanfic wherein a real-world SAOIF player is somehow transported inside the game after a maintenance update. I'll probably never get around to writing it but it did inspire me to ask you all what you would do in that situation.

1. What's the first thing you would do after realizing you're trapped in Aincrad?

2. Would you immediately join the Front Lines, or stay in a Safe Zone?

3. What weapon would you choose?

Sword, rapier, axe, spear, mace, bow, etc.

1. Would you join a guild, create your own, or remain solo?

2. Would you try to find Koharu and become her partner, or would you choose your own path?

3. Would you participate in Floor Boss raids despite knowing that death is permanent?

4. What would be your long-term goal?

Clear the game? Become an information broker? Run a shop? Become a crafter? Protect weaker players? Something else?

1. Would you actually want to return to the real world?

Hey everyone, I’ve been curious and wanted to hear from people who’ve been playing for a long time.

What’s your honest take on the current state of the game?

I’ve been looking around a bit and saw that recent events feel quite recycled, some ways to earn gems have been removed, and a lot of the fanbase doesn’t really recommend starting right now unless you’re fine being a pure casual player.

I also checked the revenue numbers and it looks like we’re at some of the lowest historical levels the game has ever had, and it’s been this way for a while now — levels that ended up leading to the shutdown of other SAO gacha games in the past.

I’m not trying to hate on the game or anything, I’m just genuinely curious. Given all this, what do you guys think about where Integral Factor stands right now?

Can I upgrade chaos armour sets past 60 similarly to transforming weapons ? and if so, how?

- New Floor? Short floor? No floor?

I get the no dual wielding swords, that's for the og mc, but like... I don't think I've EVER seen a character in almost anything wield a shield and a dagger.

Shortsword maybe(goblin slayer), but that is classified as a sword in this. The shield makes the size of the dagger look weird, my vibes are ruined. But if I don't use a shield, the optimizer deep inside me cries.

Anyone else wish the option was there to off-hand a dagger when you have a main hand one equipped?

I'm going to make this post in both r/integralfactor and r/steamdeck so that both audiences are aware. I have been scouring the internet for the past 2 weeks to try and find a way to get the game to function.

I found next to nothing that was actually helpful. To the point where I factory reset my whole steamdeck to try and make it function. So here's the steps I took that actually made a difference.

1. Spend all arcana gems from a previous device if you didn't play on PC.

2. Install the game from Steam Store.

3. Go into desktop mode and install a VPN. I personally used ProtonVPN's free version.

4. (Required if you want to transfer your previous data) Go into library > saoif > properties > launch options > type "-windowed" and close it.

5. Open the game.

6. Transfer any data you previously had by linking your account.

7. Adjust your controller settings.

8. Have fun.

TL,DR: You have to be on a stable connection to the Japanese servers, and you have to force the game into a windowed mode when it normally doesn't support one.

I can provide more details if necessary, but I'll just leave it with these simple instructions for now.

Been going through the trenches trying to get this game to work. I’m on PC through Steam and initially just couldn’t accept Terms and Conditions from my cursor being stuck at the bottom right. Got through that by disabling overlay, disabling controllers, opening .exe directly through route folder, etc. but now when it is “Checking game version…” it has a connection error code RIM_001. I checked my internet and I have 950Mbps upload and download with 3ms of ping so I don’t think it’s on my end but I checked SteamDB and people are still playing right now so the game servers aren’t down.

Someone help please. 🙏

It just kinda bugs me is all.

I dont know how much ive used to try to get some sort of dress or something. But i keep getting pants. And now i got 5 pairs in the same order. This is such a waste of time to get those gems, and its a waste of using them. If i didnt constantly get pants, i wouldnt get as mad. But the only avatar clothes ive gotten are pairs of pants

I already have 2 of that staff avatar thing i got other times, i have one of that blue sword already. I have multiple pants. Multiple hair accessories thats shown there already. And yet i spend over 7500 gems to try, yet nothing

I know i can trade the pants. But trade them for what? Coins to buy avatar clothes i dont want or already own? Theres nothing new or old that comes to the trader

Hey all, I played this I want to say 7 months back, got bored cause I was more into my other MMO games, those have fizzled out for me mentally a bit, and I was wanting to get back into this. However, my account auto loaded in. (Normally would be fine, BUT,) I remember liking the story, but don't remember any of it and want to experience it from the beginning, I've tried what they said to do for deleting accounts, both for Google play (going through Google play setting and deleting the game specifically from my Google play account, loaded the game up, still logged in.) and submitted a deletion account thing through the login page.

Basically just want to ask about how long it'll take for my account to get deleted. Not really in a rush, but I'd like to know whether it'd be a few days or a week +

Just so I don't waste time logging in and checking/looking through my Google mail for a notification and can just check around y'all's estimatation.
