Wedding Lobby

The Wedding Lobby returns just in time for June with new decor, including a wedding arch and pillars topped with floral arrangements! Ring the wedding bell beneath the arch to see a shower of pink petals fluttering down.

New Team Room

Explore the new [Aquatic Ruins] Team Room! Floating above the water’s surface, these ruins have become home to overgrown vegetation. Tall trees wind throughout the weathered architecture.

APSY Collaboration Characters

Red Oni-hime Shiki, a new character created by prototype model designer Masaki APSY, will appear in the lobby for a limited time. Her partner card can be obtained through clearing her client orders.

Players may spot her in Emergency Trials as well, along with fellow APSY designed character, Red Oni-bō Oudo.

Advance Quest Update

A new feature will be added to Advance Quests that allows you to manually increase the Advance Risk by paying additional capsules. Doing so increases the enemy level cap, making it possible for enemies to reach level 80.

Players can experience emergency trials with enemies such as [Persona] and doppelganger [Apprentice]! Those who defeat them will gain the chance of acquiring these ★12 weapons!

LIVE Weapon Series and Zieg’s Client Orders

Players can also acquire new ★12 weapons by trading in the required Large Pyroxenes at the Pyroxene Exchange Shop. The chances of obtaining these stones can be increased by raising the Advance Risk as high as possible.

Once they obtain enough LIVE weapons in different categories, players can show them off to Zieg to receive a ★12 weapon drop from Dark Falz Elder and Loser.

Lavis Blades, Psycho Wand, Niren Orochi, Magical Piece… these weapons could be yours by showing Zieg the weapons specified in the Client Order.

Other Adjustments

• Added Extra Hard difficulty to the [Ocean of Death] EQ.

Sacred Witchcraft (AC Scratch)

Show off those legs in a new wedding dress sporting a partial miniskirt, or cover up with the dark coats and ethnic ceremonial robes included in this scratch. Featured also are Cast parts designed by Masaki APSY, following a warrior monk theme.

Take a trip down memory lane by transforming your team room into [Pioneer 2], the spaceship at the center of operations in Phantasy Star Online.

Pick up new costumes and weapons camos designed by manga illustrator Suzuhito Yasuda, also known for his work on the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor series of video games.

~ Some contest details will be added later ~

 ~June 10th, 2015~

Sonic Collaboration

The Sonic Lobby returns until June 24th, transforming the lobby with statues of the all-star cast. Gold rings are spread throughout the Shopping Area! What will happen after collecting them all?

Sonic Nyau will appear dressed as the titular hedgehog, wielding the Extreme Gear from Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. Defeat him for a chance at nabbing the [＊Extreme Gear ] weapon camo!

New Limited Quest

As part of PSO2’s 3rd anniversary celebration, a new limited quest will be added to the game. Taking place in the Darker’s Den, this quest will feature an assortment of enemies comprised mostly of Darkers. Previous Nyau variations will appear, with each summoning various enemies upon defeat.

New ★12 weapons in the “Nox” series can drop during the limited quest for lucky players.

Maximum Attack Event

The 3rd anniversary Maximum Attack Web Panel Event will be held through July 22nd. During the event, players will be tasked with defeating bosses in a targeted quest for points. The accumulated scores will be updated on the official site periodically. More details on the event can be found in our previous post.

＊スターライラ (Star Lyra)

3rd Anniversary Xie will be present in the lobby until August 5th with new client orders. Clearing her orders will reward players with the Star Lyra weapon camo.

Xie will also open an exchange shop with new ★13 weapons to collect! Players can obtain Gold / Silver / and Bronze WEAPONS Badges within the limited quest to trade in for various items at her shop.

Casino Game: Li~Li Roulette

An exciting new game is coming to the Casino! In Li~Li Roulette, players must try to guess which space the spinning wheel will stop on. Place your BET on a certain number, color, or a space with both, and cross your fingers!

Collect those coins for a snazzy new Lillipan Suit available exclusively at the Casino Prize Counter!

First-time casino goers can also familiarize themselves with the lobby by clearing Alto’s client orders.

Present Gauges

A “Present Gauge” will  appear for certain NPCs in the lobby. This helps to visualize your progress as you raise their friendship ratings.

NPCs will also hand out new presents like “meat” and “fish” rations, which temporarily boost your ATK and max PP.

Transferable Ultimate Buster

It’s finally here! Now you can transfer Ultimate Buster onto your favorite weapon for that extra advantage in Ultimate Quests.

You’ll need to bring five weapons with the Ultimate Buster ability. The transfer is a guaranteed 100% success! However, keep in mind that you won’t be able to transfer the ability onto ★13 weapons.

Set Effects Confirmation

You can now check whether an item has a “Set Effect” from the Item Menu. Opening this menu lists information about the set effect, and which items are required for its activation.

Quest Counter: Available Item Improvements

The [Available Items] section of the Quest Information window will now give priority to weapons of the highest rarity.

More Skill Point Client Orders

Class trainer NPCs are receiving new skill point client orders. Gather up some Class Cubes and push your character to the limit!

10x Fun Scratch

Now you can play the FUN Scratch 10 times in a row in one go! This handy new feature makes repeated scratching less tedious and more FUN!

My Shop Search Improvements

Fine-tune your item searches with new My Shop sub-categories! Now it’s even easier to search within categories with new settings specifically for Face Paint, Body Paint, Stickers, Voice Tickets, Lobby Actions, and more!

Recycle Shop from the Main Menu

Avoid the post-Emergency Quest stampede with this new Recycle Shop update! As long as your character is within the ARKS Lobby or Casino, you may now access the Recycle Shop straight from the Main Menu.
