But before we start, Sakai mentioned that he will discuss areas considered for future adjustments in the upcoming days. For now we're left with the announcement of the new Chogokin Racaseal Black Ver.
With these new switchable parts, the Elenor version will have new parts to play with.
3D Printing Hits a Wall?
Early on in the game's development, Sakai was exploring with the idea of having your PSO2 characters 3D printed. You can see evidence of this within the Character Creation contest where the second place winner received a 3D physical model of their character. Back then, Sakai was thinking about the costs of such a service since it would be quite expensive for the average person to afford. (Like 30,000 Yen)
At the Arks Party Shougai attended, Sakai mentioned he has no plans to put into production the Viola Magica 3D printed figure that was shown in the background of a picture in a blog post. As for 3D printing your characters, it appears they would have to set up a production line to take on build-to-order models and for this to become a reality is quite difficult.
The ruins were recently discovered beyond the tundra of Planet Naberius. Originally it was thought there were no previous civilizations on Naberius, but with this discovery, we see strange facilities left behind. A fierce battle awaits in the ruins where a multitude of Darkers reside.
To challenge this area, you must be level 25 or higher!
Infected Grim Monolith
When Grim Monoliths are infected by Darkers, it will increase their power.
New Interrupt Event
In Code Protection: the Arks must defeat several Darker type machines called ダーカイム Darkaim (Darkyme) that pollutes the environment.
EXCube
EXCubes in your inventory!
The Excube system allows one to acquire EXP even if they are at the level cap. When you acquire EXP equivalent to one class level, you receive several EXCubes. You can acquire them over and over and save them up each time you gain a level. You must clear all level cap unlocking client orders to acquire EXCubes.

Finally, all those photon drops you've been saving up now have a purpose. You can trade them in the Photon Drop Exchange Shop. 10 Photon Drops can be traded for a Photon Crystal. 99 photon drops or 10 photon crystals can be traded to receive a Photon Sphere.
You can trade these items at the photon shop for mag devices, boost items, and items with strong abilities.

Two powerful Darker's whose bodies are wrapped in firm armor. Kyklonahda's wields a blunt cylindrical weapon, while Cyclonahda flings a huge iron ball around like a flail.

Zeshreida ゼッシュレイダ
Zeshreida is a strong darker who presides over the ruins. Zeshreida is the Ruins boss with a star shaped shell that fires powerful energy balls from its back. It can also perform high speed jet propelled attacks that torment the Arks. When Zeshreida falls over, he's defenseless, but once he gets up, he deals a powerful counter attack.
