The Treasure Shop allows players to purchase items with two currencies, "Star Gems and Meseta." Items such as Emergency Quest triggers and the All Candy Remover can be purchased with Star Gems. On the other hand, EXCubes, Pyroxene Stones, Stamina Drinks, and even the Gold Tokyo Bonus Key can be yours by paying an exorbitant amount of meseta.

[notification type="alert-success" close="false" ]Players not encountering problems when attempting to connect the PSO2 can disregard this section.[/notification]

Tweaker users (and former Tweaker users) who are experiencing NP1013 errors will need to  run the following steps in order to run the game normally, as highlighted by Kyle873:

1. If you're using an outdated version of the Tweaker, please update before attempting these solutions.
2. If you're using the proxy, revert your settings:
   (Orb Menu -> Other Tasks -> Revert PSO2Proxy Settings to JP)
3. Close the Tweaker, then download this batch script and run it: http://tinyurl.com/z9m9omr
4. Restart the Tweaker.
5. If running the proxy, reconfigure the proxy using this link: http://cloud02.cyberkitsune.net:8080/config.json (Orb Menu -> Other Tasks -> Configure PSO2Proxy Server Settings)
6. Launch the game.

Keep in mind that this applies to users of the proxy and the Tweaker, as well as former users of the Tweaker. Failure to do so will result in NP1013 errors cropping up.

Proxy Users Only: If you have issues pertaining to the proxy, please check out their Troubleshooting Page or IRC channel.
