Annette Stops By

Appearing November 24th ~ January 11th

Annette, known for her role in PSO2es, is taking a short trip to the ARKS Lobby. Apart from her partner card, she offers [Flower Bookmarks] as a reward for clearing her client orders. These can be exchanged at her shop for, among other things, the [＊Annette Makura ] camo and [PSO2es Mat].

 

Second Solo Extreme Quest

The [Corrupted Boundary] Extreme Quest marks the second quest of its kind, daring players to go solo in considerably challenging scenarios. The name of the game this time around is defeating the primary foe(s) before enemy reinforcements arrive. Get your character in tiptop shape and aim for all ten stages!

 

Clearing the quest will net you a new title to mark your skillful display, and a new reward for the creation of Skill Rings with a coat of arms effect. You'll need just one Extreme Pass to participate; an adjustment that will also apply to Heaven & Hell.
