Wait, so those MP earned are fixed to the cleared missions?
I hope we can make additional MP along the missions instead of being deadlocked on 1660 per full run.

And i doubt we able to keep all of loots once we done due to the Challenge Block nature that'll lock player stuffs, and i assume it'll also lock our original item bag.

Grab yur 13*s everyone!

Does this apply to rare drops? I wonder if this will imply that "hey that wanker picked up my Orochi Agito!"

Hopefully not.

In the video early on you can see the player pick up a Mile Crystal (small), which awarded him 10 MPs. I wonder if those will be added to the MPA's total or just the player's... And how much bigger crystals are worth.

That is stuff legends are made of. I don't think SEGA is randomly changing drop rules though

[LonelyGaruga]

That's exactly what they're doing though.

Chances are nothing valuable will drop in Challenge Mode, at least for a long time.

Isn't it only when that green flame like is on the item ? Because when they were playing, they all had different drops.

[LonelyGaruga]

Oh, VR items must be separate from regular drops. So they're more comparable to TD crystals then.

[Poyonche]

You were so close to doing it perfect, SEGA. So close!

VR items = those red crystals like that give you Miles and this recovery VR bar thing


I hope.

Edit : But It's still meh, unless Miles crystals stack to the whole MPA.

So after reading for 9 pages all I can say is that it sounds like average B20 players to me . Glad I had a pool of trustworthy people way back on PSOGC when I hunted my SJS. So glad everyone has their own drops on PSO2.

Only shame is that you can't share a drop anymore like back on PSO1. Since you have 4x or even 12x more chance at finding the rare you want if you have a party/mpa to help you hunt it.

Inb4 implementing cmode drops changes drop rules for everything and we will get emergency maintenance and then be compensated with a triboost and an este pass.

Yes, you can pick up additional mile, from 10~100 Mile that will drop as drops, like AQ capsule I believe.
