Ways to get cosmetics in PSO2 while waiting for NGS?

(Also, secondarily, any tips to get a ton of meseta for the personal shop as a level 60-ish character?)

I came from FFXIV, and naturally I wanted some bunny ears to remake my Viera.. And the cheapest in the player shop were around 25 mil, so I set out to earn some meseta as my primary goal before NGS launched. I managed it in only a few days, surprisingly! There's a ton of sources of money, especially if you have some time to burn.

What I did was basically work on doing FUN scratches to get access to the personal shop (3 day access ticket), to sell things of my own. Between selling as much as I possibly could there and getting as many rainbow keys from various promotions, I got a good 30 mil up to this point.

You can sell all sorts of stuff, including loot drops. I've been selling miscellaneous 9 star and higher gear, a lot of which dropped from the rainbow and gold keys I was given for doing just about anything. Selling stuff from FUN scratches also seems decent, I found a rug today that might sell for 200k+, and there were some sweaters I bought from a shop that went for a mil a piece.

I think the hardest part is really just being there to manage your gear and how much it's going for, and getting access in the first place. But, now I have some bunny ears, and I'm working on a necklace now too! Hopefully I'll have the necklace by the time NGS comes out, too. At this rate though, it's bound to happen.

Cradle of Darkness to farm cubes to fund your cosmetics. Pepeg

Titles.

And there's a couple for playing on Steam and earning titles.

Also the current event.

Player shops are the major source of cosmetics for numerous reasons. Current scratch stuff self explanatory, but also old scratch stuff is only available that way (unless it's in one of the permanent scratches), crossover stuff is also only really available via player shops since those have come and gone, and there is no info on whether they will ever return.

Some (few compared to total amount) cosmetics are available via various badge shops (like 2021 badge shop). A lot of badges can be converted into older badges and so on. Some pretty good weapon camos can be found there.

Then there is a minor amount of stuff (compared to total once again) available via "other"eans that you mentioned and maybe a few more. Generally I would just look it up on swiki of you are on JP - it's really good and helps you find the stuff you may want. Alternatively, scratch archives on bumped.

For money - a whole bunch of things you can do, but IMO the best way is to hit 85 and run cradle triggers (although you are a bit late to the party, insane loot boost is gone now) that other players often post. It's not the best money farm probably, but it's very accessible and farmable if you don't mind monotony. You get loads of high level loot that can be traded for excubes (and those traded for grinders and sold to the vendor) or picked apart for useful affixes like the ones you use to build Guardian Soul. Basically want to set aside anything with Glare Catalyst, Factor Catalyst, Reverie Catalyst, Photoner Glare, Omega Memoria, Ether Factor, possibly Crack I-V (cracks been getting damn cheap). Then you just make Guardian Soul affix on a 4 slot unit with those and make sure to put it into something sellable in personal shop (any low star unit really). With Perma boost it's really easy to build Guardian Souls or components and they sell for ok money. Rest of the junk you just excube.

If you are on JP and love mobile games you can play PSO2es and farm receptors whenever they are around (although next receptor farm probably won't happen until NGS release) and sell them. Soul+Glare receptor 4 slot unit can sell quite well and is only obtainable in es.

If all above fails you could just do Yerkes turn-ins on 3 characters a day, then delete 2 of them (aka throwaway alta) and repeat the process next day. That's a lot of gathering and it's a chore for pennies though, granted cradle trigs simply existing.

TL;DR on money farming: Cradle of Darkness triggers are literally a money printer, but you need to be level 85 on both main and sub class (or just main if you are successor class).

Good luck!

Just wondering if I get cosmetics in pso2 and bring them to ngs, will the cosmetics( body, arm, legs) using the new model in ngs? Or just same cosmetics with higher resolution not new model

Campaigns also reward cosmetics but the good ones are all long passed

You can buy most AC cosmetics on the player shop and meseta isn’t hard to come by at all
