It begins with Rare potential but it cannot be Star Forced. If you redeem the Cosmos Ring on a Cadena, it will have an additional 5 attack/magic attack and 10 all stats for 30 days. You can use the Cosmic Atom to scroll it, and each one will give the ring 1 all stats, 1 attack/magic attack, and 100 HP/MP.

To proceed with the next Step Up Mission, you need to complete your current mission and reach the level requirement. Certain Step Up Mission rewards can only be redeemed once per world, other characters who complete these missions will receive alternative rewards.

Meso Splash Water Tank Riding The Meso Splash Water Tank Riding event will run from July 6 to July 19. It is not available in Reboot or Reboot 2. This event is made for rich people to show off haha. Basically, every day from 10am to 10pm, a Water Tank Riding will appear in Henesys and Leafre in channel 17. You can click on it to ride it, but it costs 100m mesos PLUS another 200m mesos that you will splash all over (so a total cost of 300m mesos). One character can ride it up to 3 times per day. After getting on board the tank, you can move around and rain mesos down periodically to the peasants below. You can also press the Spacebar to rain down a large amount of mesos one time. Once the entire 200m mesos is shared, the tank will disappear. You cannot get off the tank early. If you disconnect while on the tank, your avatar will continue to drop mesos while you are offline. Other characters can pick up the meso bags you drop. But note that pets will not pick them up, you have to do it manually! If you use the Water Tank Riding at least once, you will receive the Meso Fountain Chair! When you sit on it, it will show the total amount of mesos that you have shared with other people using the Water Tank.
