Enter your character’s name into the calculator to determine the section ID in Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst (PSO BB).

PSO BB Section ID Calculation Formula

The section ID of a character in PSO BB is determined by the character’s name. The section ID influences the type of items the character can find, affecting the gameplay experience significantly.

Section ID = Character Name Sum % 10

Variables:

  • Section ID is the identifier determining item drops
  • Character Name Sum is the sum of ASCII values of the characters in the name

To calculate the section ID, sum the ASCII values of all characters in the name, then take the modulus of this sum with 10.

Understanding Section IDs

Each section ID corresponds to a different set of item drop rates. Here’s a brief overview of each ID:

  • Viridia: Known for finding a variety of rifles and shotguns.
  • Greenill: Best for finding rifles and a variety of shots.
  • Skyly: Excellent for hunting swords and slicers.
  • Bluefull: Known for finding polearms and rods.
  • Purplenum: Best for finding mechguns and daggers.
  • Pinkal: Known for finding wands and tech disks.
  • Redria: Excellent for finding armor and rare units.
  • Oran: Known for finding daggers and cards.
  • Yellowboze: Balanced ID, known for finding meseta and a variety of items.
  • Whitill: Best for finding slicers and cards.

How to Calculate Your Section ID?

Follow these steps to calculate your section ID:

  1. Enter your character’s name in the designated field.
  2. Click “Calculate” to determine your section ID.
  3. Refer to the section ID description to understand what items you are likely to find.

Example Calculation:

Let’s say your character’s name is “Hunter”. The ASCII values for each character are:

H = 72, u = 117, n = 110, t = 116, e = 101, r = 114

The sum is 72 + 117 + 110 + 116 + 101 + 114 = 730

Now, 730 % 10 = 0, so the section ID is “Viridia”.
