Meseta is the standard unit of monetary currency used in Phantasy Star Universe.
Meseta

Obtaining Meseta

Meseta can be obtained currently in one of three ways.

  • Finding it in Missions - sometimes enemies may drop Meseta, represented by a yellow box, similar to its representation in Phantasy Star Online (but flatter)
  • Selling Items, both at normal Shops and Player Shops
  • Completing Missions, Meseta is then rewarded at the end.
  • In special events such as the closing of Closed Beta Trial, 100,000 meseta was distributed to each player.

The retail version of Phantasy Star Universe may offer more ways to obtain Meseta, such as mini-games.

Uses of Meseta

In the Closed Beta Trial, Meseta could be used to buy items from shops (both run by the server and other players). Possible other uses of Meseta have not been disclosed yet.

Meseta appears to be more useful than in Phantasy Star Online, however, and it is possible that it will be a viable trading currency, although other currencies (an equivalent of the Photon Drops in PSO, perhaps) might appear as well. It also appears to be more difficult to get than in PSO.

Limits on Meseta

The carrying limits on Meseta, both on your person and in your Partner Machinery's storage are expected to be 99,999,999, based on the maximum prices in player shops in the Beta.

Item Meseta values

Items that can be bought and sold to NPCs for Meseta have Meseta values associated with them. These values seem to depend on both the item type, and the star rarity value. Items can be sold to NPCs for 5~50% of their actual value, depending on on their item type. The rate at which they can be resold is called the selling rate. This does not apply to starting equipment, which can only be sold for 4-5 Meseta a piece. As for prices in player shops, in most cases it would be wise to sell items at a price both higher than the selling rate, and lower than the original value, so that both players involved in the deal would be able to benefit more from dealing with NPCs.
