A little old-school .hack help...

[Pokemaster Ash]

Very trivial question, but if anyone would happen to know the answer to this, it would be nicely appreciated.

Does anyone know how many trades are required to max out Ryu Book III in .hack//Quarantine? I've done over 1000 and it's still going. I've maxed out the other 7, it's just this one that I haven't totally taken care of yet.

I'm trying to finish things up in Quarantine so I can get to my second playing of G.U.: Rebirth (so I can toast it this time instead of stumble my way through), then onto the other G.U. games. It's just this Ryu Book and the Item Completion quest that are in the way (and Item Completion is no issue).

I've only played part of .hack 1 so I'm not sure if my answer it right but it sounds like to max to book out you have to have 50 trades and then trade once with everyone in the game which is 76 people and heres the list of them. Hope this answers your question.

50 trades might be the limit in .hack//Infection, but it's nowhere near the required limit in Quarantine. As for the list of players I've seen, already taken care of that. I'll see what happens once I have one trade with everyone.

And, of course, you won't be able to see some of the people on that list until Quarantine as well. It IS the full list of everyone who does eventually appear, though.

EDIT: Okay, there's no noticeable max-out on Ryu Book 3 if you blow past the limit before trading with everyone. It registered there wasn't any more to be done the moment I had at least one trade with everybody.
