Shred the Darkness (event)
(Shred the Darkness) is an event which began on the Japanese PC/PS2 servers June 26 and will run through July 24. This is a story-driven event which connects directly with the occurrences of Episode 3 as the story is brought to a close. Outside of informational and exchange missions, three mission types will be present in this event: extermination, defense and purification. Furthermore, as with previous events, participants will earn points which go toward a server-wide total. As certain milestones are reached, various prizes will be unlocked. Also, in the event missions, enemy EXP payout and item drop rates have been increased.

Rewards
As players run the main event missions (extermination, defense and purification missions only), the total number of enemies defeated will be added to a server-wide point tally. These points will then be used to unlock various in-game rewards. As a reminder, enemies killed in the side-story mission (Magashi Eradication) will not count toward the server's total.
Individual rewards
Predetermined milestones will be set so that players who reach these marks will receive a special gift. As with the main event rewards, only points accumulated through defeating enemies in the extermination, defense and purification missions will count. Enemies killed in the side-story mission will not go toward the point total.
