When players start using the skateboard in Lost Judgment, they’ll notice small icons scattered about (perhaps when trying to find the Kappa Statues), which can be picked up to earn Skateboarding Points. It’s not immediately apparent what Skateboarding Points are used for or if there’s actually an incentive to collect them. Fortunately, there is a point to collecting them, which we’ll explain below.
What do Skateboarding Points do in Lost Judgment?
In Lost Judgment, Skateboarding Points can be exchanged for items once the Skateboarding Prize Exchange has been opened. Players will also need to collect points for some TownGo missions as well.
Of course, the trick to this whole thing is finding out how to unlock the Skateboarding Prize Exchange. This is totally optional, so it’s not impossible for players to miss out on it.
To unlock the Skateboarding Prize Exchange in Lost Judgment, players need to complete the School Stories quests (which we thought were excellent) until they get to the Skateboarding Club section. While hanging with the Ijincho Hounds, Yagami will gain access to the skate park in Hamakita Park. Here, players will gain access to the Skateboard Prize Exchange.
The following items can be found in the Skateboard Prize Exchange:
- Back Protector: 60,000 pts
- Dance Textbook (Breakdance): 5,000 pts
- Elbow Protectors 1: 6,500 pts
- Extract Recipe – Senzun of Fighting: 5,000 pts
- Free Pass Voucher 1: 25,000 pts
- Full Shin Guards: 24,000 pts
- Hemostasis Booster 2: 40,000 pts
- Knee Protectors 1: 6,500 pts
- Play Pass: 18,000 pts
- Purple Drop Skateboard: 100,000 pts
- Skateboard Rocketeer: 35,000 pts
- White Horse Skateboard: 50,000 pts
- Yellow Lizard Skateboard: 20,000 pts
In addition to running over icons in the world, Yagami can gain Skateboarding Points from completing events. Both Park Missions and Race Battles can be started by talking to an NPC in Hamakita Park after the skate park is unlocked. If players perform well in these events, they can accumulate points a lot quicker than by just collecting the icons.
