The Arks Ship Competition "Episode 3 Cup" is set to begin on September 26th, 2014. Everyone can join in on the festivities earning stars and points by clearing the objectives in each round. Ship alliances will be different this time around, with some rule changes, and new objectives pertaining to Planet Harukotan. In addition, the Arks Ship Competition will be given its own special site containing detailed information and rule explanations.
In the first competition, the Ships were given a boost two rounds ahead based on their current standings. However, this time, the boosts apply to the next round. They also changed the way the boosts are calculated, giving ships a chance to make a comeback. In addition, they increased the cap on the amount of points players can contribute and added in some Emergency Quests related to the current round.
The final prize lineup will see some changes. Ships in first place will still get to choose from exclusive prizes. However, Ships that place in 2nd ~ 5th place will now be able to choose from the same list of prizes. Once the entire event is over, Ships who place in 1st ~ 3rd place will earn more star rewards than the previous event.
New prizes are available at the Arkuma Prize Shop. Some of these prizes include Arkuma's headphones, tail, jet boots, cushion, and poster. Keep in mind that some prizes are available after the event is over, and among those, some are available only to Ships who reach in first place. Be sure to also link up the Lillipan and Rappy Race with your friends and aim for the finish line.
Balance adjustments are coming to Emergency Quest in the form of increased enemy levels. Enemies in super hard Emergency Quests will now appear at level 66 ~ 70! The benefits of this change gives players the chance to acquire items of high rarities.
September 24th's scratch features outfits from Arkuma and Quna, along with Braver themed costumes and parts!

Are chosen works also made into items? or only 1/2/3rd places?
I sure hope so… Because that "chosen works" for the male outfit is way better than the third place male outfit. ._.
Hoping that's not the case for camos, I actually would like the 2nd place camo.
Last time everything that appeared on the page as "chosen" was made into an item.
…maaaan. sega's judges have questionable taste. that bow is godawful. making a good looking bow is NOT hard, jeez…. the weapons last time sucked too.
and some of what I've seen show up on pixiv among the non-winners has, again, been pretty sweet. even a camo that was for every weapon type, and each mode was distinct.
actually, make that two. one just went up a little while ago that's literally a swiss army knife.. might be missing jetboots or I might not be parsing what I see properly.
here, quick rehost job on some rejects that caught my eye. I'd just link stuff from the official site but seeing as routing and all… yeah.
That would be nice if they made the camos for all weapons be in it, or have at least one camo per weapon so none are left out. 🙁
I do really like the design of the scissors, cause they'd go so well with dressy clothing, but wish it were for more weapons. I honestly think they should let all the twin dagger camos work on dual blades too, cause they don't seem much different, but that's just me I guess.
Agree. I wish Ultra Hard Blade camo worked on Dual Blades 🙁
Archer's swords please. Photon Blade Fever is just too similar to Unlimited Blade Works to not make them Dual Blade camos.
Yeah this is the first thing that comes to mind. XD
the bow….it looks quite a beauty for me though
Damn love those two wep camos. But for the swiss knife i think they dont want to get sued by the owner/company anything else Sega should have atleast put them to chosen works
the basic design of the swiss army knife is so prolific these days that I imagine the original designer(s) probably can't be bothered to care, so long as their logo isn't on it. *shrug*
For the swiss knife they didn't want to make 12+ separate weapon models with extra transition animations of anything into anything.
as if any other multi-weapon camo is actually shown changing. and as if they show bio weapons changing from a card to a full size weapon. and so on. 😛
Then you would complain that it doesn't change.
Actually you complain anyway. So yeah.
I like most of the new costumes, however.. the Fenrir coat? That stuff in the back does have to be added to the ingame model. The second unisex outfit is great, not too much going on in the outfit, also less clippings.
Meant to say doesn't* I mean the outfit outstanding, I just don't care for the hangging part but the waist belts are cool.
Is it me or not that chosen works part of accesories reminds me of the old Ragnarok XD
