Let's all participate in the [Phantasy Star Festa 2014 ~Online~] event! Everyone can earn points by clearing the targeted limited quest over and over. Periodically, these points are tallied and used to unlock rewards posted at the event's official website.
Targeted Limited Quest
- 1 Point = Normal
- 2 Points = Hard
- 3 Points = Very Hard
- 4 Points = Super Hard
Every week we'll get a new mission, where if we earn enough points we can unlock rewards distributed to us in the future! Points are accumulated through the power of all ARKS members, let's aim towards clearing the missions!
※ Missions are somewhat like weekly goals that list the rewards we can get if we achieve certain scores.

With this new feature, you can merge two teams into one. The team points from the other team will be added into the main team, but their acquired team features will not carry over. You are only allowed up to 100 people in a team. If the total members of both teams surpass that number, they will not be able to merge. In addition, the other team will be prevented from merging until they remove all items from their Team Storage Box. After the process is complete, the other team will be deleted.
Everyone will be able to perform a victory pose after defeating Dark Falz Elder. This option is available in the [Chat Settings] menu.
The crafting level cap has expanded to level 50! This update increases the extend level cap and adds new level 3 recipes for Technic Customizations.
