ER Pass “Royal”
  • The ER Pass is currently priced at 1,250 NP. But for a special opening celebration, it'll be on sale for 890 NP for the next three weeks. Additionally, the ER Plus, which includes an additional 19 levels, will be available at a discounted price of 2,520 NP, down from 3,150 NP for three weeks.

    • After purchasing the ER Pass, you can upgrade to ER Plus by paying the difference.

  • You can earn free rewards without purchasing an ER Pass, but buying one can give you additional rewards.

  • ER Pass Missions are split into 8 weeks, and new mission series will unlock every Thursday at 3 AM (UTC).

    • Players who have yet to purchase the pass will have access to the basic 5 missions per week.

    • Purchasing the pass will unlock access to additional 5 missions per week to help progress along the ER Pass.

    • Even if you purchase the ER Pass late, you can still claim missions from previous weeks!

  • The new ER Pass Royal will be activated automatically at the start of the season and will be valid for two seasons.
