Available at the Arkuma Prize Shop

The Arks Ship Competition (Episode 3 Cup) will be returning on September 24th, 2014. Not only will we have different ship alliances, but certain rules will be changing as well. Some of these changes include; boost periods applying to the next round and not the next day ahead, and adjustments to the way the boosts are calculated so that they aren't increasing too much.

Additionally, they increased the cap on the amount of points you can contribute to your group. You can also expect to see some pre-scheduled Emergency Quests, appropriate for the current event. Lastly, ships who place in 2nd ~ 5th place will now be allowed to purchase from the same prize lineup at the Arkuma Prize Shop.

In addition, the footage showed players performing a Stylish Roll, which was impossible to do in the Demo.
