"Ragol Memory" Acquirement Procedures

Players can acquire "Ragol Memories" through the following methods:

  • By ordering from the PSO2 Arks Café
  • By participating in the PSO2 Net Café
  • By touring Okinawa with the Phantasy Star Crew

3rd Anniversary Exchange Shop

Last week players sent feedback over how excessive the prices were in obtaining ★13 weapons from the 3rd Anniversary Exchange Shop. In response to this, Sega has decided to allow players to trade in a set amount of Silver Badges for 1 Gold Badge. During the live broadcast, the pricing schematics were revealed to be 7 Silver for 1 Gold, and they plan to implement this sometime in June.
