The weekly boosts are an Ephinea-exclusive system whereby each week, an increase to one of the various rates in Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst is active. These boosts are always the same amount, and rotate in the same order continually. The weekly boost is automatically changed every Sunday, at 00:00 UTC.
The weekly boosts rotate in the following order:
- Experience rate
- Drop anything rate (commonly abbreviated as "DAR")
- Rare monster rate (commonly abbreviated as "RER"
- Rare drop rate (commonly abbreviated as "RDR")
The weekly boost stack with the boosts from quests selected for Ragol Boost Road. For example, if the quest 
Phantasmal World 1 is selected for Ragol Boost Road during a week where the rare drop rate boost is active, playing that quest will offer a maximum bonus of 150% rare drop rate.
Certain events on Ephinea will interact uniquely with the weekly boosts:
- During the Anniversary event, all four weekly boosts are active from the beginning;
- During the Christmas event, the weekly boost is doubled for each respective week;
- While playable outside of the Halloween event, Halloween quests (which are accessed through the Halloween event-exclusive item
Halloween Cookie) will ignore the weekly boosts when they are played.
