From the original .hack//Infection video games, you would randomly see something flying in the sky. Whether it's a bloodied mummy spinning, a giant slug, a castle flipped upside down, or four floating eyeballs. These are known as "Legendary Lands" in the original games, you'd see them flying, and later in the post game you be given access to a special dungeon related to 3 them. But in .hack//fragment we also have a 5th one, Santa Grunty. Each of these phenomena can be seen randomly per server as listed below. The Aerial Fleet - Delta server The Inverted Castle - Theta server The Giant Creature - Lambda server The Ending World - Sigma server Santa Grunty - Omega server

When playing .hack, there's a special skill that you the main character have whether it's .hack//Infection, .hack//fragment, and .hack//G.U. called "Data Drain". This special skill removes the data bug textures from normal monsters after hitting the monster enough times that protection break appears. At this time you strike the enemy with your special skill data drain to have the monster replaced with a level 1 monster and the chance to obtain an item or virus core during the process. In .hack//fragment the way your character can get the skill is by doing the second tutorial in the offline mode with Mia. You are given and taught how to use it. You can not get this skill from online mode, however you can use it online mode. So it's entirely possible to build a character without data drain if you do not complete the second tutorial in offline mode. The special skill data drain evolves after repeated use just like in .hack//Infection starting with: Data Drain Drain Arc 2128 Drain Drain Heart Each skill has a different feature given to it starting with the basic data drain which attacks 1 monster, drain arc which attacks multiple monsters, 2128 drain which gives you the chance for a rare item, and drain heart which attacks multiple monsters for the chance of rare items. When it happens you'll see the message !!! The bracelet is shining!! after had used data drain, while still in combat.

If you are using the PCSX2 emulator to play .hack//fragment and noticed the game crashes while playing in online mode but not in offline mode, chances are it's because you have widescreen hacks (aka widescreen patches) enabled on the emulator. Be sure to uncheck the box from the File drop down menu on 1.4 or 1.6, but for 1.7 you'll find the setting under Settings then Graphics menu. Widescreen enabled Widescreen disabled

This is an essential item for the online mode of the game to create your very own guild. Otherwise without it you can only join an existing player created guild. This item item is dropped from chests, usually the end chest at the Gott Statue. There's one server in particular that is well known to farm to get this item. The original Crab Server area server save file that Crab General kept since 2005 has been well documented that these 3 fields/dungeons have a higher chance of dropping the key item Guild Seal. Level 25 鼻曲がる, 潮招き, の 天ぷら Level 51 共鳴する, 高脚蟹の, 蟹道楽 Level 68 共鳴する, 蟹 チ, ャーハン You'll notice the keywords are in Japanese. That's because the area server save file stores the keywords created by area server owner. Regardless if you have a translated .hack//fragment disc, these keywords will still be in Japanese. There was one area server that used Crab Server's save file and had it translated called Shrimp Server.
