Dragon Balls and Shenron Wishes

Unlike the first Xenoverse, Dragon Balls in Xenoverse 2 drop from defeated Time Patrollers who randomly appear during Parallel Quests. You need a Namekian ally in the party for the drop to register—bring any Namekian preset or a Namekian CaC. Each PQ run can yield zero to several balls; collect all seven to summon Shenron at the Dragon Ball pedestal in Conton City.

After wishing, balls scatter back into the PQ pool. Guru's House quests expand Shenron's wish list over time, adding TP Medals, attribute resets, new characters, and upgraded level wishes. Track ball counts on the HUD during PQs.

• I want a new character: Hit, Shadow Dragons—four cycles for all Shenron fighters.
• I want a new Super Attack / Ultimate Attack: skill unlocks on separate cycles.
• I want medals!: 200 TP Medals—efficient mid-game.
• I want to grow!: level boosts until high level when Tosok is cheaper.
• I want a second chance: reset attribute points once per wish type.

See Get Dragon Balls guide for farming routes and Guru's House for unlocking every wish tier.

PQs 44 "Dragon Balls of Patience" and 45 "Off-the-Charts Energy" are community staples—short objectives and high Patroller spawn rates. Run with AI Namekian allies if your CaC is not Namekian. Ultimate Finish conditions are not required for ball drops. Online co-op increases clear speed during double reward events.

Dragon Balls also tie into Distorted Time Eggs and Unknown History unlocks—see Time Eggs item page and Unlock All Characters guide.

Early game: use wishes for characters or skills you cannot obtain elsewhere yet. Mid game: switch to medal wishes and attribute resets once Guru unlocks them. Late game: save wishes for rare skill duplicates or level boosts when Tosok costs exceed your medal income temporarily.

Guru's House quests in the Namek Time Rift expand wish tiers—complete every Elder Kai mission before judging Shenron useless. Some wishes are one-time-only per category—read confirmation dialogs carefully. Dragon Ball farming remains relevant entire playthrough because wishes repeat infinitely after re-collection.

Namekian requirement frustrates non-Namekian mains—keep Piccolo preset on standby for farming sessions without swapping CaC.

Patroller spawn RNG feels streaky—sessions average out over hour-long farms. Wishes cannot duplicate characters already owned—game prevents redundant picks. Some wishes require minimum story progress beyond Guru unlock text—finish Unknown History if blocked.

Additional Xenoverse 2 context for this topic: Parallel Quests remain the backbone of skill and Dragon Ball acquisition even in 2026 with Future Saga content live. Expert Missions 16 through 18 still anchor TP Medal economy for Tosok leveling and weekend shop purchases. Conton City layout places critical NPCs away from spawn—use Conton City map page before hunting mentors or rifts. Time Patroller fashion and emotes do not affect combat outcomes but improve hub navigation enjoyment during long farms. Account-wide unlocks mean alt characters inherit PQ completion and skill libraries—leverage alts for racial exclusives without repeating entire story on each slot unless desired for narrative replay.
