PSO Section ID Calculator
Note: Spaces and capitalization affect the result.
Your Section ID is:
Viridia
What is a PSO Section ID?
In Phantasy Star Online (PSO), the Section ID is a crucial mechanic that determines which items drop from monsters and boxes during your gameplay. Assigned at character creation, your Section ID is permanent and appears as a colored badge next to your character's name.
There are 10 distinct IDs, each with a unique bias toward specific item types, such as Hunter weapons (swords, partisans), Ranger weapons (rifles, shots), or Force weapons (canes, wands). Understanding your ID is essential for hunting specific rare items.
How to Use the PSO Section ID Calculator
This calculator replicates the exact algorithm used by the game engine to assign your ID. Follow these steps:
- Enter Character Name: Type the name exactly as you intend to use it in the game.
- Mind the Case: "Kireek" and "kireek" will result in different IDs because capital letters have different ASCII values than lowercase letters.
- Check Symbols: Spaces and symbols also contribute to the calculation.
The Calculation Formula
The game calculates your Section ID based on the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) numerical value of every character in your name.
- Step 1: The game converts every letter in your name to its decimal ASCII code (e.g., 'A' = 65, 'a' = 97).
- Step 2: It sums these values together.
- Step 3: It takes the last digit of the total sum (mathematically known as Total Modulo 10).
For example, if the sum of your name's letters is 642, the last digit is 2, which corresponds to the Skyly ID.
Section ID Drop Chart Reference
Each ID number corresponds to a specific color and name. Use the table below to see what your calculated number means:
| Digit | ID Name | Color | Primary Drop Bias |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Viridia | Green | Shots & Partisans |
| 1 | Greenill | Lime | Rifles & Daggers |
| 2 | Skyly | Cyan | Swords & Rifles |
| 3 | Bluefull | Blue | Partisans & Rods |
| 4 | Purplenum | Purple | Mechguns & Daggers |
| 5 | Pinkal | Pink | Wands, Canes & Tech Disks |
| 6 | Redria | Red | Armor, Units & Slicers |
| 7 | Oran | Orange | Daggers, Swords & Wands |
| 8 | Yellowboze | Yellow | Balanced / Meseta |
| 9 | Whitill | White | Slicers & Mechguns |
Class-Based Exceptions
In standard versions of PSO (GameCube, Xbox, Blue Burst), the formula is strictly based on the name. However, certain classes in specific server patches may have slightly modified formulas. This calculator uses the standard "Name Sum Mod 10" algorithm applicable to the vast majority of PSO versions.
