==Mission grade==
==Mission rank==


Each mission has up to 5 different grades available, ranging from the lowest at C Rank, to the highest at Infinity Rank. The higher the mission grade, the higher the level of the [[creatures]] and therefore the difficulty of the mission. Naturally, higher level creatures means higher rewards in terms of both experience and items dropped.

Story Missions are main story line of ''Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity'', and are required to unlock almost all other missions and items. These missions have varying objectives and can only be played in [[Story Mode]], as there are various cutscenes and mandatory partner characters.
However, this is not a hard rule, as many missions have different thresholds.


The creatures in story missions scale to the player's level up to a certain point, so the player cannot just gain a few levels and overpower the creatures in the mission easily.

The mission counter.

Missions are the various assignments that players can go on to earn experience and items. There are many different types of missions, each having differing objectives and requirements, and reward the player with different rewards accordingly. Each mission is split up into various difficulty ranks, meaning every mission gets increasingly harder, with appropriately better rewards.

Missions can be accessed at the mission counter on Clad 6, which is found on the player's ship. The mission counter will have different missions available depending on if the current mode is story mode or multi mode, and how far through the story the player has progressed. Some missions also require the completion of other similar missions to be accessed.

Mission rank[edit | edit source]

Each mission has up to 5 different ranks available, ranging from the lowest at , to the highest at . The higher the mission rank, the higher the level of the creatures and therefore the difficulty of the mission.

Depending on the mission rank as well, a certain character level is required to access the mission. In general, the following requirements and enemy levels are followed:

Rank Player LV Creature LV
1+ 1-24
20+ 25-74
60+ 75-124
100+ 125-174
150+ 175-250

However, this is not a strict rule, as many missions have lower/higher requirements, along with different level creatures.

Mission clear[edit | edit source]

At the end of every mission, a mission clear screen is displayed which outlines the player's performance and grants them a score ranging from 0 to 1,000 points. Depending on the score achieved, a certain rank will be obtained, with higher ranks granting more meseta, Type Points and chance for an item rewards. If playing with partner characters, there is also a chance of them granting the player an item if S Rank is achieved, with the item depending on the character taken.

Performance can be judged on many factors, such as creatures killed, time taken, traps activated, times returned to Clad 6, and more.

The general points required for each rank are as follows:

  • C-Rank: 0-299 points
  • B-Rank: 300-699 points
  • A-Rank: 700-999 points
  • S-Rank: 1,000 points

However, this is not a hard rule, as many missions have different thresholds.
