About the Emergency Quest Calendar
There seems to be a bit of confusion over how the EQ calendar works, so here's a basic rundown.
- The Emergency Quest calendar can only list events that were scheduled ahead of time by PSO2's development team.
- The calendar is unable to show Emergency Quests that occur at random. There is no way to predict all EQs for the current week like the pre-scheduled list.
- However, if you are premium user with PSO2es installed, you can receive notices for Emergency Quests 1 hour in advance.
- The Emergency Quest schedule below lists both Emergency Quests and the start times for Boost Events. Things like "EXP Boost Day" and "Mesetan Shooter: Boost Period" are merely there to inform you when that Boost Event is about to begin. There are no Emergency Quests called "EXP Boost Day."
Please be sure to notify us whenever there are issues with the calendar, so that we can fix them as quick as possible. Also keep in mind that you may need to resync the calendar periodically as Emergency Quests and Boost Events can change at Sega's discretion.
