Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society is the new summer ship event arriving with the November 10, 2026 fifth-anniversary update. The event opens after maintenance and brings a new story, a shop, a minigame and a free one-star Chiaki (Swimsuit). You need to clear Normal Mission 2-3 before the event becomes available.
There are two different deadlines to remember. The playable event ends on November 24 at 01:59 UTC, but the shop, outstanding reward claims, epilogue and minigame remain accessible until December 1 at 01:59 UTC. That extra week is for the listed event menus, not permission to keep clearing the normal event stages after their closing time.
How to unlock Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society
Before trying to enter the event, clear Normal Mission 2-3 on your account. Nexon lists that as the participation condition. Once the November 10 maintenance has finished and the event is available on your server, open the current event from the game’s event area and begin the story. Players who have already cleared the requirement do not need to redo Mission 2-3.
Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society is also called Set Sail! Pandemonium Ship: Chair Makoto’s Lux Summer Getaway! in official material. It’s the same event, not a separate summer update.
Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society event dates
| Activity | Deadline (UTC) |
|---|---|
| Event story and playable stages begin | After November 10 maintenance |

Nexon’s times are based on Korea Standard Time. November 24 at 10:59 KST is November 24 at 01:59 UTC; December 1 at 10:59 KST is December 1 at 01:59 UTC. These dates refer to the version of the event running with the global fifth-anniversary update, not the earlier Japanese rollout.
How to get Chiaki (Swimsuit) for free
Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society has a guaranteed welfare student, rather than making every new student a banner reward. Chiaki (Swimsuit) is a one-star student earned by clearing Story-01. Clear the event access requirement, enter the story and complete that first chapter to get her. No Pyroxenes or anniversary free recruitments are needed for this basic unlock.
Makoto (Swimsuit) and Satsuki (Swimsuit) are different. They are featured three-star students on limited Pick-Up recruitments. Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society therefore gives you a free Chiaki through play, while the two special Pick-Up students are tied to the recruitment banners that accompany the anniversary.
What does Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society include?
Nexon’s release schedule identifies an event story, playable content, event shop, reward claims, an epilogue and a minigame. Start with the story to unlock Chiaki, then clear the quests and challenges you want while the event is open. Do not leave the first story stage until the final day if getting Chiaki is the main reason you are playing.
Before December 1, go back through the shop and reward screens to spend anything you’ve earned. Nexon’s schedule confirms that extra claim window, but the published event outline does not establish a best stage for farming or a complete currency breakdown. The in-game event menu shows what each stage currently awards.
How does the event relate to 200 free recruitments?
The same November 10 update includes 200 free recruitments, but they are a separate anniversary campaign with an earlier closing time: November 17 at 01:59 UTC. The free pulls are used on eligible special Pick-Up recruitments, whereas Chiaki comes from Story-01. Do not wait until the ship event’s November 24 deadline to spend those recruitments.
Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society runs longer than the banner giveaway and has its own reward-claim window beyond the event play period. Treat those as three distinct clocks. You can follow the event story and get Chiaki without using the free pulls on a banner at all, while players pursuing Makoto or Satsuki must pay attention to the earlier recruitment deadline.
What should you finish before the event ends?
For Blue Archive Set Sail Pandemonium Society, clear Story-01 first to get Chiaki, then finish the event stages and tasks you want before November 24 at 01:59 UTC. After that, use the extra claim window to check the shop, claim eligible rewards and visit the epilogue or minigame before December 1 at 01:59 UTC. If you are unsure what remains, read the event’s current in-game menu rather than relying on another region’s older screenshot.
