Clothing & Accessories

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, clothing and accessories are fundamental to personalizing your Conton City avatar. While clothing items initially provide direct stat bonuses, their primary role shifts to aesthetics once you unlock and equip QQ Bangs. Accessories, on the other hand, are purely cosmetic and offer no stat alterations, allowing for complete freedom in expressing your unique style.

Each clothing piece (Upper Body, Lower Body, Hands, Feet) comes with specific stat adjustments. However, with a well-crafted QQ Bang, you can achieve your desired stat distribution independently, freeing you to wear any clothing for its visual appeal without compromising combat effectiveness. This guide will detail all methods for acquiring these coveted items and how to best utilize them.

Accessory Slots Explained

Accessories allow for even finer customization of your character's appearance. They are purely cosmetic and occupy specific slots on your character's model. Understanding these slots is key to crafting a truly unique look:

Upper Face: Typically includes items like glasses, scouters, headbands, or specific masks that cover the forehead or eyes.
Lower Face: Covers the mouth and chin area, such as bandanas, respirators, or specific masks.
Neck: Scarves, necklaces, or chokers.
Wrist: Bracelets, armbands, or specific wrist-worn devices.

Experiment with different combinations across these slots to create a distinct look for your Time Patroller.

Obtaining Clothing & Accessories

The world of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 offers numerous avenues for expanding your wardrobe. From traditional shops to challenging quests and limited-time events, there's always a new piece to discover.

1. Clothing Shop (Conton City)

The most straightforward method for acquiring new attire is by purchasing it directly from the Clothing Shop in Conton City. This shop's inventory rotates and expands as you progress through the game's story and complete various quests. Keep an eye on its offerings, as new sets and individual pieces become available regularly.

Location: Located in the main plaza of Conton City, easily identifiable by its clothing rack icon on the map.
Currency: Zeni.
Strategy: Check back frequently after completing major story arcs or a significant number of Parallel Quests. Some iconic character outfits, like Goku's Turtle Hermit Gi or Vegeta's Battle Suit, can be purchased here.

2. Parallel Quests (PQs)

Parallel Quests are a primary source of unique clothing items and accessories. Many PQs have specific clothing pieces as potential rewards, often tied to the characters featured in the quest. These rewards are typically obtained by achieving a "Z-Rank" or completing specific bonus objectives within the quest.

Location: Accessed via the Parallel Quest counter in Conton City, or directly from the mission select screen.
Strategy:
1. Identify Target PQ: Check the potential rewards listed for each Parallel Quest. The clothing items will be explicitly shown.
2. Aim for Z-Rank: While not always mandatory, achieving a Z-Rank significantly increases your chances of getting rare drops, including clothing. Focus on quick clears, high combo counts, and minimal damage taken.
3. Complete Bonus Objectives: Many PQs have hidden bonus objectives (e.g., defeating specific enemies before others, transforming, or using certain attacks) that unlock additional rewards or increase drop rates. These are crucial for farming specific items.
4. Repeat: Some items have low drop rates, so be prepared to replay PQs multiple times. Bringing AI companions with "Item Drop Rate Up" super souls can slightly improve your odds.
Example: PQ 04 "Prepare for the Attack of Saiyans!" can drop Goku's Turtle Hermit Gi (King Kai Symbol) pieces. PQ 57 "The Cell Games Begin" can drop Cell's outfit.

3. Mentors

Training with various mentors scattered across Conton City can also reward you with their signature clothing and accessories. As you progress through their training lessons and increase your friendship level, they will often bestow parts of their outfit upon you.

Location: Mentors are found throughout Conton City. Check your map for their icons.
Strategy:
1. Select a Mentor: Approach a mentor and choose to train with them.
2. Complete Lessons: Successfully complete all their training lessons.
3. Increase Friendship: Continue to increase your friendship level with the mentor by bringing them on Parallel Quests, talking to them, or using their taught skills.
4. Receive Rewards: Mentors will periodically give you gifts, including pieces of their clothing, as your friendship deepens.
Example: Training with Vegeta can eventually reward you with his Battle Suit pieces. Training with Piccolo can yield his Demon Clan Outfit.

4. TP Medal Shop

The TP Medal Shop is a crucial source for rare and exclusive clothing items, including iconic outfits from various Dragon Ball sagas, unique accessories, and even some otherwise unobtainable pieces. The inventory of the TP Medal Shop rotates weekly, so it's essential to check it regularly.

Location: Located in the main plaza of Conton City, near the Parallel Quest counter.
Currency: TP Medals.
Strategy:
1. Farm TP Medals: TP Medals can be earned from various sources:
  - Online Parallel Quests: Offer a good amount of TP Medals upon completion.
  - Expert Missions: Especially higher-difficulty Expert Missions, provide substantial TP Medal rewards.
  - Raid Bosses: Participating in Raid Boss events is one of the most lucrative ways to earn TP Medals.
  - Daily Login Bonuses: Log in daily to receive bonus TP Medals.
  - Tournament of Power (offline): Completing this offline tournament can yield a good sum.
2. Check Weekly: The TP Medal Shop's inventory refreshes every week. Make it a habit to check what new clothing and accessories are available.
3. Prioritize: Some items are highly sought after and may not return for a long time. If you see something you want, save up your TP Medals and buy it.
Example: Outfits like Beerus's Clothes, Whis's Clothes, or specific movie character outfits frequently appear here.

5. Raid Bosses & Online Events

Participating in limited-time Raid Boss events and other online events is an excellent way to earn exclusive clothing and accessories that cannot be obtained anywhere else. These events often reward participants based on their contribution and overall damage dealt to the boss.

Location: Accessed via the large blue portal in Conton City when an event is active.
Strategy:
1. Stay Updated: Keep an eye on the in-game announcements or official Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 social media channels for upcoming Raid Boss schedules.
2. Prepare Your Build: Raid Bosses are challenging. Optimize your character's build with powerful attacks, super souls, and evasive skills.
3. Contribute: Deal as much damage as possible to the Raid Boss. Rewards are often tiered, with better rewards for higher damage contributions.
4. Participate Multiple Times: Many Raid Bosses require multiple defeats to unlock all rewards.
Rewards: Often include unique Super Souls, TP Medals, and exclusive clothing items or accessories themed around the Raid Boss character (e.g., Fused Zamasu's clothes, Broly's accessories).

6. Dragon Ball Wishes (Shenron)

Summoning Shenron by collecting all seven Dragon Balls can also grant you wishes for clothing. While not the most efficient method for specific items, it can be a good way to get a random new piece if you're not targeting anything in particular.

Strategy:
1. Collect Dragon Balls: Farm Dragon Balls from specific Parallel Quests (e.g., PQ 04 "Prepare for the Attack of Saiyans!" by defeating Time Patrollers, or PQ 79 "Great Ape's Rampage" for a guaranteed drop from the final Time Patroller).
2. Summon Shenron: Go to the Dragon Ball Pedestal in Conton City.
3. Choose "I want some rare items!" or "I want a new outfit!": These wishes can sometimes grant clothing or accessories.

7. Event Quests & DLC

Periodically, special Event Quests are released that offer unique rewards, including clothing and accessories. Additionally, purchasing DLC packs often grants access to new characters' outfits and accessories, either directly or through new Parallel Quests introduced with the DLC.

Strategy: Check the "Event Quests" section at the Parallel Quest counter regularly. For DLC, simply purchasing and installing the content will unlock the associated items in shops or as PQ rewards.

By utilizing all these methods, you can amass a vast collection of clothing and accessories, ensuring your Time Patroller is always the most stylish hero (or villain) in Conton City!
