MC (Main Character) = Player
+
The Matter Board takes the form of a grid with various Nodes scattered on it. The player starts at the Node labelled "Start", which is open by default. Adjacent to any unlocked Nodes are Nodes with small cube-like designs within; these indicate that the Nodes can be unlocked. Nodes with a lock icon on them cannot be opened until the Nodes adjacent to them are opened.
  
== Matterboard Cutscene Markers ==
+
There are two types of Nodes: Blue Nodes and Gold Nodes. Gold Nodes are required for story progression; unlocking Gold Nodes will unlock new Story Quests. Blue Nodes are not required to open Story Quests, but may be required to access new Gold Nodes.
There are cutscene in the matterboards which can be seen in ARKS quest. Before starting the quest, check the matterboard is selected on the cutscene node and start the quest. During the quest, you will see blue icon which are standard cutscene and gold/yellow icon are the cutscene for chapter. Cutscene can be skipped to complete the objective, quest does not need to be completed.
+
 
 +
Node types are then divided into two types of their own: Collect and Event Nodes.
 +
* When highlighted, a Collect Node will display a reward item, as well as a target enemy. Defeating the target enemy will have a very high chance for that enemy to drop that item, which it will not drop otherwise. This item is signified by its gold coloring. Picking up this item will fulfill the requirement and unlock the Node. '''Note that for the purposes of Matter Board, rare variants are considered separate enemies and will not drop the target item if defeated in place of its normal counterpart, and vice versa.'''
 +
* Event Nodes require you to find either an NPC or an Event Panel and trigger a cutscene. For NPCs, the NPC must be approached in the Lobby to trigger the cutscene. For Event Panels, you must find the Event Panel while participating in any Free Field or ARKS Quest. The target Event Panel will have a gold coloring and sparkle when it appears. Interacting with the Panel will trigger a cutscene, which will unlock the Node.

Latest revision as of 19:12, 19 February 2018

As of March 2018, this mechanic has been removed from the game. All Client Orders, Titles, and Rewards pertaining to the Matter Board are no longer accessible.

Matter Boards are a story mechanic in which the player is able to progress the Story. By unlocking Nodes on the Matter Boards, you can unlock new story elements that eventually lead into Story Quests, which can then be taken to progress the story further. By doing so, you can also receive special prizes and equipment.

Mechanics

Matter Boards are only available in EP1~3 Mode. Characters created before EPISODE 4 will have Matter Boards 1-1 and 3-1 unlocked; characters created after EPISODE 4 will only have 1-1 unlocked.

The Matter Board takes the form of a grid with various Nodes scattered on it. The player starts at the Node labelled "Start", which is open by default. Adjacent to any unlocked Nodes are Nodes with small cube-like designs within; these indicate that the Nodes can be unlocked. Nodes with a lock icon on them cannot be opened until the Nodes adjacent to them are opened.

There are two types of Nodes: Blue Nodes and Gold Nodes. Gold Nodes are required for story progression; unlocking Gold Nodes will unlock new Story Quests. Blue Nodes are not required to open Story Quests, but may be required to access new Gold Nodes.

Node types are then divided into two types of their own: Collect and Event Nodes.

  • When highlighted, a Collect Node will display a reward item, as well as a target enemy. Defeating the target enemy will have a very high chance for that enemy to drop that item, which it will not drop otherwise. This item is signified by its gold coloring. Picking up this item will fulfill the requirement and unlock the Node. Note that for the purposes of Matter Board, rare variants are considered separate enemies and will not drop the target item if defeated in place of its normal counterpart, and vice versa.
  • Event Nodes require you to find either an NPC or an Event Panel and trigger a cutscene. For NPCs, the NPC must be approached in the Lobby to trigger the cutscene. For Event Panels, you must find the Event Panel while participating in any Free Field or ARKS Quest. The target Event Panel will have a gold coloring and sparkle when it appears. Interacting with the Panel will trigger a cutscene, which will unlock the Node.

Creator's Emblems

By playing the Matter Board, you can receive Creator's Emblems that can be traded in at Zieg to receive a Genesis Weapon Weapon Camo.

  • You may receive 1 Creator's Emblem for completing an Episode. This requires clearing Story Quest 1-10, 2-7, and 3-8. You receive an additional Creator's Emblem for clearing all three. These are received as Title Rewards.
  • You may receive 1 Creator's Emblem for clearing all Matter Boards in an Episode with a 100% clear rate. You receive an additional Creator's Emblem for clearing all three Episodes. These are received as Title Rewards.
    • Matterboards 1-11 and 3-8 are considered side stories and are not needed for these titles.
  • You may receive 1 Creator's Emblem by clearing Story Quest 10-2 in Phantasy Star Online 2es. To send the Creator's Emblem to Phantasy Star Online 2, you must be playing on a Linked Character. These are distributed on a per-character basis.
    • PSO2es has 2 stories: the original one (called ARKS Story), and the most recent one (involving More, Gene, Annette, etc). This applies only to the latter.
  • You can purchase a Creator's Emblem for 25 Star Gem Items from the SG Item Exchange Shop.
