ARKS are brave warriors defending the planet of Halpha from the unknown threat of the DOLLS in this adventurous video game, Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis (PSO2: NGS).
The game’s developer, Sega, recently announced that PSO2: NGS is celebrating its 11th anniversary, which means that you can now enjoy Stellar Graces.
PSO2 NGS: Stellar Graces
From Wednesday 26 July 2023, players can enjoy the Seasonal World Trial: Stellar Grace Recovery Operation. For this activity, you have to procure Stellar Graces which pawn in the Exploration Sectors of the Aelio Region.
Although it may seem like a tedious task, you can earn up to 450 Star Gems by collecting the Steller Graces.
Based on the amount of Stellar Graces you collect, you will receive a boost effect for the Rare Drop Rate and Seasonal Points Acquired Rate.
The Stellar Grace Recovery Operation will take place 3 times during the campaign period:
| First time | Second Time | Third Time | |
| Trial Period | Wednesday 5:00 PM (GMT+2) to Thursday 4:59 PM (GMT+2) | Friday 5:00 PM (GMT+2) to Saturday 4:59 PM (GMT+T) | Sunday 5:00 P, (GMT+2) to Monday 4:59 PM (GMT+2) |
| Boost Period | Thursday 5:00 PM (GMT+2) to Friday 4:59 PM (GMT+2) | Saturday 5:00 PM (GMT +2) to Sunday 4:59 PM (GMT+2) | Monday 5:00 PM (GMT+2) to Tuesday 4:59 PM (GMT+2) |
Trial period
The Seasonal World Trial consists of different stages, namely the trial period and boost period.
Players can collect up to 30 Stellar Graces during one trial period. For every Stellar Grace that you collect, you will receive 5 Star Gems, amongst other items. Players will also receive the Boost Effect, S Grace Boost (Personal).
You will benefit from the Rare Drop Multiplier boost, which increases with every Stellar Grace that you collect. Keep in mind, though, that the maximum boost you can receive is 10 percent.
Boost period
If PSO2: NGS players achieve the overall objective during the trial period, they will receive the boost effect of S Grace Boost (All) for 24 hours from the end of the Trial period.
The effect amount of S Grace Boost (All) varies, as it is determined by the progress toward the overall objective achieved for every ship.
You will benefit from a Rare Drop Multiplier Boost for up to 20 percent. However, the seasonal points that you acquire will also increase by up to 20 percent. Keep in mind that these boosts are limited to the seasonal event period.
Star Gems
Star Gems can be used in varying situations, such as to recover stamina for Gathering or to recover Egg Synthesis Points for Pets. Moreover, you can purchase items from the SG Shop and play an SG Scratch Ticket.
However, your Star Gems will expire a year from the date they were earned, so you should remember to use your Star Gems before they expire.
