Halloween Lobby
The Halloween Lobby arrives to scare up some fun with spooky decorations and an eerie atmosphere. Ghosts now haunt the lobby, popping up without warning at various locations to scare players.
Xie returns with Halloween attire, handing out client orders and goodies. Clear her orders to receive item packages containing sets of Halloween treats.
Participate in this year's Trick or Treat quest for a convenient way to earn rewards in the Halloween 2015 Bingo! Prizes include booster items and the recently added Galeru Crystals.
Trick or Treat 4!
Head to Lillipa's desert for the [Trick or Treat 4!] Emergency Quest, available for a limited time. Kuron's Toy Darker enemies will join the fray for this edition, along with bosses Gal Gryphon, Zeta Guranz, and Dark Falz Double's Douran and Dourill forms. Halloween decorations like jack-o'-lanterns can even appear during Emergency Trials!
Lilipiece
Canalope
Depending on the difficulty of the quest, players can obtain Lambda Grinders and gold and silver weapon badges. Take on a high difficulty for a chance at getting ★13 weapons. New ★12 weapons themed after the Lillipans can be dropped by defeating Barbarillipans on Extra Hard.
Slip into your favorite Halloween themed costume to receive a special PSE effect during the quest!
The event that connects past, present, and future. With only a single objective, the one who has traveled through this endless story will come but to one conclusion.
Weapon Boosts
New rewards available at the Title Counter will allow you to increase the power of weapons for your main class. Each of these titles will task you with attaining a certain number of weapon entries for specific classes. Just fill up your [Weapon Record] entries at the Visiphone, and visit the counter to redeem your reward!
Let's say you're playing as a Hunter. You could boost the power of its weapons if your record contains an adequate amount of ★10~12 entries of Hunter weapons. This boost of power would apply to Swords, Wired Lances, Partisans, and Gunslashes, but only when the class has been selected as your main.
Each Title has a different requirement, asking for weapon entries in specific rarity brackets. The effect from the Title will apply to all the characters on your account based on the conditions stated in the Title Reward.
Weapon Boost Situations
- Gunners will receive power boosts to TMGs, Assault Rifles, and Gunslashes based on the number of [Gunner Weapon Boost] titles redeemed at the Title Counter.
- Bouncers will receive power boosts to Dual Blades, Jet Boots, and Gunslashes based on the number of [Bouncer Weapon Boost] titles redeemed at the Title Counter.
Just keep in mind that you do not need to hunt for Gunslashes to fill up your [Weapon Record] collection. They will still receive the effect as long as you redeem a Weapon Boost title reward.
Team Features Expanded
Check out the team room and explore new features! A Team Scarf can now be selected from the team accessories menu. Choose the color that best suits the team and increase its solidarity.
The team's Photon Tree can be grown to new heights, with the Photon Effect limits being raised to level 8.
More Zieg Client Orders
Zieg's got some new ★12 weapon client orders for players. Much like previous orders, you'll just need to show him the correct combination of "Live" series weapons to receive a fancy ★12 weapon.
Seraphy Returns to the Lobby
The beloved Seraphy of PSO2es is coming back to PSO2's lobby with all-new client orders! When you log into PSO2es with a linked account, you can receive [15,000EXP] tickets in PSO2!
[Double] Appears on the Field
Nox Riffel
Daggers of Serafi
[Double] will now have the chance of appearing in Emergency Trials during Free Field quests. Players who defeat them could earn new ★12 and ★13 weapons, or even new units based on their designs!
