Mission: Violent Tremor
ARKS HQ has released a new training program, and it is available for testing in the Universal Ship Challenge Lobby! This third iteration of a new multi-party ARKS training program will have up to 8 operatives exploring the old Mothership, a Falspawn Den, the Underground Shafts, and even the Cuento Castle Ruins environments for a total of 5 missions! For this Challenge Quest, you’ll be able to select a class set at the terminal before beginning the program, and this will determine your initial gear. Good luck operatives!
Oh! One more thing – in addition to the normal Classes, you can also select any of the SCION CLASSES for your Class Set in Challenge Quests! These include Hero, Phantom, Etoile, and Luster! So do what you do best, Arks, and nab those Challenge Miles!

The Title [VIOLENT TREMOR] BEGINNER will net you an Augment Transfer Pass, and the Title [VIOLENT TREMOR] EXPLORER will earn you a Fluxio Juran Harmonizer! In addition, this weapon can be changed to other weapon types at the Zig Shop without needing materials!
