New Emergency Quest
創世を謳う幻創の造神 (The Phantom Demiurge)
Access is available to those who've cleared "The Creator Phantom" on XH difficulty.
The Phantom Demiurge can only be cleared once per ship.
A main and sub class of level 80 is required to access the quest. There is currently a bug where you may not be able to retry the quest once you've failed.
The Emergency Quest schedule will update automatically during maintenance. Please wait until after maintenance has ended to see the current schedule.
Please resync the calendar periodically to receive the latest updates, as the schedule may change at Sega's discretion.
This calendar is unable to show Emergency Quests that occur at random.
Boost Events that occur for 24 hours will appear with only their start times.
Boost Events that occur for several hours will use the "period" suffix in their titles. Please check the Google Calendar itself to view the event duration.
ARKS Leagues are typically 3 hours long. Check the event itself for details on its duration.

May 6th Tidbits
Battle Arena Adjustments
After maintenance, you can only use [Protection] one time.
Deus Esca Zephyros Nerf
The reason for the nerf was due to their failure in balance adjusting. The clear rate was worse than what the dev team expected. The difficulty was supposed to be around Mother. (This expectation was mentioned in a previous stream.)
Deus Esca Gracia
This rematch quest is available for thecharacter that cleared Zephyros. Yes, emphasis on character.
If you fail, you can re-try the quest until Gracia's EQ session is over.
The EQ Abandonment penalty will apply for Deus Esca Gracia
The gauge for the upper-left section of the Phantom God Collection, will not increase under Gracia.
The Qliphad series will drop directly in this quest.
Zeinesis, however, will not drop.
At least 2 Qliphad Fuses will drop after defeating Gracia.
Zephyros, on the other hand, has it set to at least 1 drop.
The drop rates for the ★13 Rappy Egg and ★14 weapons will stay the same as Zephyros.
Demon Phaleg Battle
Time limit: 7 minutes. HP Recovery: (-80%), No scapedolls/halfdolls.
You'll get Star Gem Title Rewards for each class you clear it with.
You can play it an unlimited number of times.
You won't be able to receive her Partner Card.
Quick Stats
Approximately 30 people have reached 80/80 in all their classes.
Prior to the nerf, there was a 4x difference in clear rate between Expert and XH blocks. After the patch, the difference is now wavering around 1.7x
In the Driving Rain
Episode 4 characters will appear during E-Trials.
PSO2es Quick Search
They plan to expand the areas in which you can [Quick Search: Gather] around Episode 5.
Las Vega & Tokyo's Night/Day Rate
The rate is completely random if you'll get a day or night version of the stage.
Who is the voice over for Emergency Trials?
Tetsuya Kakihara, who voices Huey, does the voice over for Emergency Trials.
How easy is Episode 5's Enemy Names?
In terms of how easy it is to read/memorize Episode 5's enemy names when given the following scale:
Episode 1 = Level 1
Episode 3 = Level 5
They responded that Episode 5's enemy names should be around Level 2 ~ Level 3.
Why Easter Island?
They picked that location because of the lore connecting it with the Continent of Mu.
Why can't you use Lobby Actions in Battle Arena?
The reason why you can't use Lobby Actions in battle arena is because they want to prevent Lobby Action Cancelling (and provocation among users?).
Whatever happened to Extra Female Voice 66?
They kinda just forgot about it. They want to fill that gap as if nothing happened.
They place the blame for this on the [Item Team].
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Lobby Action 51?
