PSO2:NGS has several different currencies that players collect. This pages goes over each of them.

Free Currencies

The following currencies can be obtained in-game through defeating enemies:

N-MesetaN-Meseta

N-Meseta is the primary currency of NGS. This currency is relevant to all content, from strengthening equipment in the Item Lab to buying/selling items on My Shop. This currency is used in all manner of transactions throughout the game. You can earn it via defeating enemies and selling items, along with My Shop-related activities.

N-Meseta earned via Enemy Kill.

The calculation is as follows: Meseta Earned = [(Base Amount + All addition boosts)xMeseta Boost effects(addative)]xUnique multipliers.

Base amount of N-Meseta earned VS Level 1 enemy is 10 for a Mob, 100 for a Boss.

All addition Boosts are as follows:

Currently the Unique Multiplier being known is Nex Vera, a 2x multiplier. This is due to the fact that in it's own Emergency Quest. All mobs aside of Nex Vera do not count for any drops of any kind, an unique effect for this quest only.

All boost effects for meseta are added to each other via addition, not multiplication.

This means, as an example, a level 65 Megalotix Large Class Boss in Aelio Region was killed with full Party Buff and all Add On Skill buff, this means a calculation looks as follows:

Meseta Earned = [(100+120+100+100+60)x(1.09+1.1)]*1=480x1.19=571.2, rounded down to 571

The following stuff were added into the equation:

  • Base Amount = 100
  • Level Bonus = +120
  • Megalotix Bonus = +100
  • Aelio Region Large Boss Bonus = +100
  • Boss Bonus = +60
  • Full Party Buff = 1.1x
  • All Add On buff = 1.09x
  • No Unique Multiplier active

N-Meseta earned via Item Sell

You can also sell items to the vendor or via "Convert To Meseta" button inside Inventory/Storage. The amount what you get for sale differs depending on the item sold.

For weapons and units, the amount of money is standardized at 50 N-Meseta as a base and then going up by +5 every star of rarity. If an auto sale feature is active, the item is converted into N-Meseta instantly, with Meseta Boosters multiplying the amount, which doesn't happen at a regular sale!

There are also Tool (NGS) Valuable Items, items of high value. Those sell at standardized amounts, Auto Sale does not affect them:

  • Stellar Seed = 2,000 N-Meseta
  • Alpha Reactor = 3,500 N-Meseta
  • Snowks = 3,500 N-Meseta
  • Beta Reactor = 100,000 N-Meseta

For other items, the amount of money is standardized as such:

Seasonal PointsSeasonal Points

Seasonal Points is a currency you earn during events, primarily from Seasonal Enemies, but also from various Quests. You can then spend it in the Seasonal Shop for a lot of prizes.

Seasonal Points earned via Enemy Kill

The amount of Seasonal Points earned is determined by simple formula: Seasonal Points= Base Amount x All Mutlipliers.

Base Amount is determined by the type of enemy you are facing:

  • Mobs = 8-42 Seasonal Points
  • Cragbear (and it's variants) + Emperrappies = 62 Seasonal Points
  • Other Medium Class Enemies = 125 Seasonal Points
  • Large Class Enemies = 250 Seasonal Points

Multipliers come mostly from Seasonal Point Boosters in Exchange Shop and in form of boosts from fighting specific types of Enemies, which give following buffs:

  • Silvered, Megalotix = 1.1x
  • Golden = 1.2x
  • Dread Enemies = 1.5x
  • Golden Dread Enemies, Gigantix, Ancient = 2x

As an example, killing a Medium Class Dread Enemy with +100% Seasonal Points booster active, the calculation will be as follows:

Seasonal Points = 125 x 1.5 x 2 = 375

The following values were used in the equation:

  • Base Amount = 125
  • Dread Enemy Boost = 1.5x
  • Seasonal Points Booster = 2x.

Seasonal Points earned via Quest Clear

Quests also grant Seasonal Points. The primary way of gaining Seasonal Points from quests is via Season Quests, with amount being diffirent from event to event.

However, all Emergency Quests also give Seasonal Points. For most of them, you get 1000 Seasonal Points for clear regardless of rank. However, Mining Rig Defences have their amount vary by rank:

  • S Rank = 1,500 Seasonal Points
  • A Rank = 1,250 Seasonal Points
  • B Rank = 1,000 Seasonal Points
  • C Rank = 500 Seasonal Points

They are unaffected by any booster items. If a Campaign Boost occurs, it typically just raises the amount gained by an appropriate boost to compensate.

Those currencies might require paying real cash to obtain. Both of the below currencies have full connectivity to base PSO2, you can earn both of the currencies mentioned below on base PSO2 and spend in NGS and vice versa.

If you do not exchange or gain more of the currency within 1 year of last gain of the below currencies, you will be put back to 0 of that currency!
