PSO2 Tidbits

  • Some Prescheduled Emergency Quests will soon appear at random. It's currently unknown as to which ones will switch over to this format.
  • With the new Ultimate Quest on the horizon, they're thinking about having blocks that only players who meet certain conditions can enter. While this is not finalized, the current idea is to allow players who've cleared Solo Extreme Training (Floors 1 ~ 5) to enter these blocks. Please keep in mind that this is subject to change.
  • They're planning on introducing a new Solo Quest that's said to be harder than Heaven and Hell (Floors 1 ~ 10). No date has been announced for it, but it could arrive before the end of the year.
  • Though the Ride Roid is unsuitable for battle, it can apparently damage enemies when disembarking from the vehicle. This is done by pressing the second button in its Action Palette.
  • Ride Roids have a "Just Timing Boost" which allows for faster traveling speeds at the cost of draining PP. The boost ends when no more PP is left. Just Timing Boosts can be initiated when the JA ring appears.
  • You can recover your Ride Roid's HP and PP by flying through green Energy Rings.

Ride Roid Image

Riding Quests & Ride Roids

  • Riding Quests are a new type of quest where you aim for a high score within a limited amount of time. Increasing the score raises the rare drop rate for the items that appear at the end of the quest.
  • Players can travel across the map using flying vehicles called Ride Roids. They can travel at even faster speeds by pressing the [x] button on the Gamepad or the [□] button in PS4 when the JA ring appears. This will activate the [Just Timing Boost] which drains PP while the boost is active. Pressing those buttons from the back palette will make the Ride Roid do an 180° turn.

Shop Update

  • Added items to the product listing of the Skill Ring Shop, Recycle Shop, and Culinary Shop.
  • Removed 4th Anniversary Donuts from the Badge Exchange Shop.

Balance Update

  • (XH & SH Only) To regulate the number of pet eggs obtained from Type 15 Tank, Train Ghidoran, and their rare counterparts, they reduced the drop rates for ★7 and ★8 Wanda Eggs. In response to these changes, ★10 and ★11 Wanda eggs will have increased drop rates.
