It's nothing at all, man. I appreciate the help. SMILEY After all, just because I made the forum doesn't mean it belongs to me! Put in all the input you want!

Same for the rest of you!

Thanks so much, guys. I was getting frustrated with mission after mission in 1.2 until I heard there was 17 of them.

Much appreciated guys!

To get every org's clothing item and every special chapter effect, you must do a total of 424 missions.

If you take on average six minutes per mission, that's 42.4 hours of missioning.

An offline game is said to be "short" if its worth 10 hours to beat. You say it's great if its worth more than two days. So.... the matrix online is much more than great! lol

Sorry double post SMILEY

I'm useless :womansad:

Hey, I don't wanna be mean or anything, but I've come accross certain... demerits in your guide. Thought I'd post them.

First of all, some formatting would be nice. You know, bold, underline, different sizes and stuff. Looks prettier and a bit more convenient to read.

You can start off by picking up each piece (mission) of the chapter you'd like at your organizations archivist, I'll explain it by using the first chapter.

Then go to a district of your choice, and start up the first mission in the chapter(1.1.1). Do this mission 3 times, and you will recieve the Completion Token 1.1. Once you have completed the first missions, and recieved the completion token, move on to the next mission in the chapter(1.2.1). Do this mission until you get your completion token, and then do the next and final mission in the chapter(1.3.1). Until you recieve the completion token for this mission as well. Once you've completed all the missions (*this is correct*) for each chapter, head back to your archivist to pick up the next chapter. Fire up the mission until you get the token, and so on, and so forth.

I think you've made it artificially complicated here.

First of all, a few adjustments concerning the classification:

- 1 is the chapter, 1.1 - 1.3 are sub-chapters. I've underlined the according passages.

- In the passages I've marked red, you're talking about "doing this mission until...". In fact, these are different missions in a sub-chapter, so it should be rather "do all of this sub-chapter's missions".
Again, a bit classification: 1.1 is the sub-chapter; 1.1.1 is this chapter's first mission.

The Archivist Broker sells ticket's for each sub-chapters first mission. After completing 1.1.1, you receive the ticket for 1.1.2. After completing 1.1.2, you receive 1.1.3. And after that one, you get the 1.1 token.

(Also, as one in the Missions forum pointed out, you need to hold a free inventory space for the arriving tickets, otherwise you'll have to redo the whole sub-chapter.)

Secondly, there's no need to merge the sub-chapters into chapters. The Archivist Brokers offer the sub-chapters separately (well, the initial missions actually, but for the simplicity's sake), so you'll only need to purchase one sub-chapter at a time, and when you've done with it, move to the next sub-chapter.
Also, saves more inventory space SMILEY

P.S.: Oh, it's spelled "receive". I don't wanna clamp on misspellings or typos, but pointing them out is all good, I think.

Once you've completed all 4 chapters for your organization, head to one of the locations below:

You will need the following completion tokens to recieve your organizations article of clothing:
Completion tokens 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 *ahem?* Ok, ok, just a typo SMILEY

Ikebukuro Northest - Machine Trader
Kaede Central - Zion Trader
Sai Kung Southwest - Merovingian Trader
(There's also a trader for each organization in Richland, Westview, and Downtown, I believe)

One district is sufficient, but here's the listing of all the others.
Also, the "Traders" are officially called "Collectors" in MxO. Again, somewhat nitpicky, but I thought it wouldn't hurt.

After you've traded your completion tokens for your items, you can move on to the next organization if you chose, but keep in mind that you also have to run the missions again for your org. (so if you're machine and you got your shades, you're gonna have to run all of the missions from all of the chapters again to get another one of the orgs items)

Hmm. A bit confusing.

Basically, you'll have to run all the chapters for Org A if you wanna get the reward for Org A.
If you've done the Machine archive and got your glasses, you'll have to run the Merv missions to get the Merv reward and the Zion missions to get the Zion reward. "Your" own organization doesn't matter. Well, probably what you meant aswell...

Also, I just wouldn't use the term "again", because, well, those are entirely different missions SMILEY
*thinks*
*deletes last paragraph*

Completion Tokens for Chapter 1 for all three organizations
(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3)
-Noninfectious Flame Virus-

Completion Tokens for Chapter 2 for all three organizations
(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 2.1. 2.2, and 2.3)
-Noninfections Fly Virus-

Completion Tokens for Chapter 3 for all three organizations
(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3)
-Fly Storm-

Completion Tokens for Chapter 4 for all three organizations
(Zion, Merv, and Mach Completion Tokens 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3)
-Blue Headlamp-

Perfect!

The Archivist Broker sells tickets for each sub-chapter's first mission. After completing 1.1.1, you receive the ticket for 1.1.2. After completing 1.1.2, you receive 1.1.3. And after that one, you get the 1.1 token.

Oh, and it's "nitpicking", not "nitpicky".

Anyone heard anything about lack of edit? SMILEY

Anyone have pics of what the various items look like? (and are the permanent? o.o)

I'm just attempting these now, and this guide is loads of help. Credit to those who went through the trouble of posting this up.

I don't think a concept like re-doing all the storyline missions would work in any other game. But for some reason, it totally works in this game. I have been out the game for almost a year thus I missed a lot of story progress. This allows me to not only get fancy items (I love the System Glasses and Suit) but also emerge myself in the story from all three sides.

At the same time I can take lower levels with me
