Unlocking new maps and quests

So after you read the last article you should find out that you quest list is quite lacking. As a new player you should only have a few ARKS quests on your list and now I will show you how to unlock quests and maps.

First your target is to unlock Featured quests and daily orders(to be mentioned soon).To do this follow these steps:

Clear ARKS quest Subdue Za Oodan and then Subdue Fangulf.
After you finished these two find Koffie and take her "Free Exploration: Forest" order.
Clear the just unlocked "Forest exploration" quest.

Go to the bridge after that and clear the EP4 story quest "Guardian’s Awakening". And you should found that "Phantom Annihilation: Tokyo" is available to choose from your list. Clear that, find Koffie for her order "Free Exploration: Tokyo", clear this order and "Tokyo Exploration" then you unlocked Featured quests and daily orders.

After unlocking Featured quests and daily orders you should work on ALL of Koffie's orders, If you need help refer to this page here.

You should come across an order from Koffie to obtain your first mag after unlocking "Forest exploration". Check out how mag works here. You are recommended to raise either Ranged. Strike or Tech attack only to level 200, which is the level cap of a mag. Again, check out the guide in the above link to know more.

Things are starting to get busy for you, but if you are interested in more of the game's content you should also check out the in game walkthough "ARKS road" for more info.

Different types of quests in PSO2

This post will be about the different quest types available to play in the game. Check the detailed quest list here.





















From the top to the bottom of the list are:

Emergency quests-They are limited to play in a certain time every day, check out the Emergency quests timetable here at the sidebar. Random emergency quests not listed on the timetable will also occur, please check here for those Emergency quests. Although it's in Japanese but the twitter bot includes all ships, so its handy to know if an EQ is coming up soon or not. Emergency quests usually provide more experience and loot compared to normal quests it's generally a good idea to play in emergency quests if they are available. To join an EQ you should be at the quest counter BEFORE the EQ starts to make sure you are on time and accept the quest as soon as the EQ hits, as people want to start the quest ASAP. If you come late for even 20 seconds there are chances that your room will not have max players, and you will be at a disadvantage.

Limited time quests-They are available for a limited time period, usually from two weeks to a month. These quests are usually for grinding loot that is only available in that time period.

Featured quests-They refresh every day and if you clear the quest with an A ranking or an S ranking, you would get a present and it will contain items inside. Getting an S gives you better probability to get better items. The first 3 are free field and ARKS quests, if there is a fourth one it is a "level up quest". This quest changes map every day and provides a 50% exp boost. As it is a Mutil party area map(12 players) you get a lot os spawns and you also get weapon badges to trade for weapons. I will talk more about gearing and power leveling soon.

Free field-Fields that are available for gathering. Check out the gathering guide here.

ARKS quest-Quests that usually have an objective, operators will guide you through the quest to clear them.

Bonus quest-You can only play in bonus quest with a key to the respective quests. Keys can be obtained by the present boxes from Featured quests. They give good experience and it is recommended to stack keys and have multiple runs at once with the highest boosts available. Note that keys have a expiry date so make sure to use them. Also you can stack boosts which have a different name. For example you can stack tri boost with exp boost and rare drop rate boost. But not exp boost 75% and exp boost 50%.

Time attack quest-Self explanatory. It is mainly to used as clearing client orders weekly for making money now. I will write a post about making meseta soon.

Riding quest-Featuring the Las Vegas map and is used for filling gauges for "Falz Mother" collection files. Check this link for more info about collection files.

Advance quests-Quests that have a 100% EXP boost on them. Used for power leveling if level up quests are not around.

Extreme quests-Maily used as clearing client orders weekly for money, but people can also farm for special abilities for weapons and units here for selling purposes.

Utlimate quests-Used for farming 12* units, and only playable for players which have both their main and sub class level 75.

Now move to the block eveulator and you can see there is a choice to move to a "shared ship" where every player of PSO2 can go. You can play "Challenge quests" there and in the future the PVP mode "Battle arena" will also be playable on the shared ship.



  Since new player need to do client orders to unlock all the quests I mentioned above, I will write a post about unlocking game content next. See you next time
