As we approach the release of Tales of Symphonia remastered, Tales of The Rays celebrates in its own way by adding Seles Wilder, who many fans may remember as the arena superboss from Tales of Symphonia!
This new event is a real treat for fans of Tales of Symphonia.

Regal and Presea get one as well, for a total of three Overrays introduced this event. As usual, arte and costume previews are at the bottom of the article.

If you just wish to recruit Seles, there's good news. Like every other character you can simply unlock her by playing. Just navigate to the event quests tab and play through the quests there to recruit Seles and unlock her skit as well.

This event uses Rays' standard Event Shop format. What this means is after clearing the quest, you can use dedicated farming quests at the bottom of the list (costing 40 AP and 80 AP) to farm for currency, which you'll then use in the event shop. The hardest, yet most rewarding quest is at the very bottom of the quest list. There's two types of currency: a "low tier" currency and a "high tier" currency, and you'll get more of one or the other depending on what characters you use farming the quest, as well as what artes they have equipped. You'll  Here's a chart of what the currency looks like, as well as what items to you'll want from the Event Shop.

Crestoria Event Shop Items How To Acquire
Low tier currency. A meal cooked by a certain President. Acquired from Farming quest. You can get more depending on your team's currency bonus.
High tier currency. A certain young lady's beret. Acquired from Farming quest. You can get more depending on your team's currency bonus.
Seles' Event Arte. Available for 4000 Berets in the Event Shop. More copies cost 20000 each. You'll want to buy all available copies for maximum weapon level, as well as to get diamonds for doing so.
Seles' Mirrage Shard. Available for 4000, 40000 and 80000 Berets. Mirrage Shards increase the maximum character level, and are rarer to come by for specific characters once their event ends.
Symphonia Enhancement crystals. Available for 25000 then 75000 Berets each. These let you get the 6th enhancements for each arte for a Symphonia character, as well as unlock Burst Limit for them.

That's it for now. Tales of The Rays doesn't disappoint with its character representation, it's nice to see even more obscure yet well liked characters get their chance to shine.
