Many players use calendar guides to figure out what to do every day for RPGs, and that extends to Persona 3 Reload. Having a guide helps players unlock and max out every Social Link on their first playthrough or efficiently increase social stats. Planning out a calendar can also help players conserve time and resources for Tartarus expeditions.
Players may prefer to have a loose schedule to adjust for role-playing purposes. Others may go all out and arrange a strict schedule to unlock and max out Social Links at the earliest time. Either way, having a calendar guide for P3 Reload can minimize frustration over missed opportunities and deadlines.
To search for a particular day, hit CTRL+F and type a date (e.g., 5/23).
Updated on July 20, 2024 by Rie Takumi: January is crucial for players with still unranked Social Links. Plan the calendar wisely as some unexpected holidays might steal away critical days for social link level ups. Always remember to equip the right Persona to boost interactions with Social Link contacts. As for Tartarus, saving up money to create the best fusions for Nyx, and for hardcore players the Reaper and Elizabeth, is the best way to go.
General Notes For P3R Calendar
Always have a corresponding Persona. Having a Persona that matches the Arcana of any Social Link the player interacts with gives interactions a points boost.
The school nurse, Mr. Edogawa, will only offer medicine on days after exploring Tartarus. Drinking his medicine grants +2 Courage. Visiting the clinic won’t take up the entire After School period, so going to Mr. Edogawa after Tartarus days is encouraged.
Unlike previous games, P3R doesn’t allow players to select their clubs. These are the only clubs available to the player:
Track Team – Unlocks Chariot and Strength Social Links
Art Club – Unlocks Fortune Social Link
Home Economics Club – Unlocks Temperance Social Link
Student Council – Unlocks Emperor and Justice Social Links
On the flip side, returning to the dorm on days off no longer progresses time.
P3 Reload also shows what other players with network functions do daily. Players who have no plans can consult this to get an idea of how to plan their day.
There are three playable exam weeks in total. Passing exams requires a certain Academics rank and another rank beyond that to come in first.
Persona 3 Reload’s exam periods are:
1st Midterms: May 18 to 23 - Requires Academics Rank 3 to rank 1st
1st Finals: July 14 to 18 - Requires Academics Rank 5 to rank 1st
2nd Midterms: September 13 to 17 - Requires Academics Rank 6 to rank 1st
Becoming the top-notcher for at least one of these exams is required to unlock The Empress Social Link.
Daily Availability Of Social Links And Social Stat Raising Activities In P3 Reload
Half the fun of Persona 3 Reload is planning out daily activities. Social Links and most social stat-raising activities take up entire time periods. Some options, like Mr. Edogawa’s strange brew, pass in a blip and allow players to stack actions.
The guide below breaks down each activity, the number of points they give, and how many points are needed to rank up social stats.
The tables below are a day-by-day breakdown of movies, arcade games, social stat-raising locations, and Social Links. Note that school-only Social Links, save for the Empress and the Moon, are not available the week before exams:
P3R eases players into its RPG system during this period. Players can move around, explore most of the map, and scope out what activities are available to them. Free actions, however, are not unlocked until the 21st.
The Fool, the player's first social link, will automatically level up on certain dates. Players will be at Fool Rank 2 at the end of this period.
During this period, P3 Reload gives players opportunities to raise their Charm and Academics. Players can answer questions in class for Charm and stay awake for Academics.
Answering questions correctly and staying awake through all four chances can net players +4 Charm and +4 Academics.
Courage is the easiest to max out, followed by Charm. Academics takes the most points to reach Rank 6.
This is the first full day players have for raising stats and improving social links.
Ideally, players should aim to rank their Academics up for midterms next month.
However, players should also consider ranking their Courage up. Some Social Links that will be made available as early as May and June require Courage Rank 2, 4, and 6.
Players can split these priorities between the After School and Evening periods.
For 4/21, it’s recommended to:
Drink Mr. Edogawa’s medicine (+2 Courage)
Offer ¥1,000 at Naganaki Shrine (+3 Academics)
Play at the arcade (+4 Courage)
Twilight Fragments, the item players pick up during a cutscene, are scattered around the map. Every location on the fast travel menu has a Twilight Fragment. Collecting these won’t take time and will allow players to open locked boxes and use the restoration clock in Tartarus.
While the urge to buy equipment and supplies is tempting, players should hold off for now. All combat-related shops have sale days that drastically reduce prices.
4/22 | April 22, 2009 | Wednesday
Kenji Tomochika blocks off the After School period. His Social Link, the Magician, is the first optional Social Link the player unlocks (Magician Rank 1).
Players must hang out with Social Links to rank them up. By doing so, Personas under that Social Link’s arcana will receive a boost when fusing them.
Reaching Rank 10 on a Social Link also unlocks an exclusive Persona that can’t be obtained through other means.
To maximize each Social Link interaction, players should have a Persona of the same arcana. As an example, players should have a Magician-type Persona on their roster when hanging out with Kenji to get more rank-up points.
Social Links can now email the player for hang-outs. Businesses that the player visited at least once will also begin sending promotional emails. These emails act as fast travel points and accepting them will not automatically lock in time.
During the Evening, players should play at the arcade (+4 Academics).
The track team is recruiting members. Joining the track team will unlock the Chariot and Strength Social Link. However, players must ask Yuko Nishiwaki to walk home after the Rank 1 and 2 events of the Chariot to unlock the Strength.
Naganaki Shrine now offers relationship fortunes. For ¥100 and the entire After School period, players can improve their relationship with any Social Link. This works regardless of their availability on that day.
Fortunes can also give or take away player funds. For example, “fair luck” gives players ¥1,000.
Today, unlock the Chariot Social Link (Chariot Rank 1) and try to invite Yuko to walk home.
Players will likely run low on funds by today or Friday. It’s recommended to go on a Tartarus run on either day. For this guide, it’s recommended to go today.
Depending on their run, players can potentially earn ¥10,000 to ¥40,000 on Shuffle Luck chances and sellable loot in Tartarus today.
Floor 12hasa tutorial Wealth Hand that gives a ton of gold and exp. There may also be floors with at least three Wealth Hands at random.
It’s highly recommended to level up enough to fuse the following personas:
Nekomata (Magician, Rank 5)
Ara Mitama (Chariot, Rank 6)
Omoikane (Hierophant, Rank 7)
Valkyrie (Strength, Rank 11)
Forneus (Emperor, Rank 7)
Angel (Justice, Rank 4)
These Personas match the arcana of Social Links the player may unlock within April. Having a matching Persona boosts Social Link interactions and makes ranking up easier.
Mitsuru’s combat tutorials will appear until floor 21. For convenience, players can climb Tartarus up to floor 22 to finish the tutorial floors. Reaching that floor will also clear the first block of Tartarus.
Ideally, players should have Zio, stat-raising –ja skills, and stat lowering –nda skills. These will help with the first boss.
Since the first boss will appear on May 9, clearing up to floor 22 will free all evenings until then. P3R’s Shuffle Time mechanic also makes it easy to reach Lv. 12 without much grinding, which should help during the boss fight.
The bookstore at Iwatodai Strip Mall re-opens today. Players unlock the Hierophant Social Link (Hierophant Rank 1) by chatting with bookstore owners Bunkichi and Mitsuko. To unlock it:
Social Links will invite players out during the Early Morning period. School Social Links, save for Nozomi, will only rank up during hang-outs. Accept Sunday and holiday hang-outs if the game says the Social Link will not advance yet.
The same rule applies for hang-outs during the Social Links' schedule that won't advance the rank.
Players should beware that saying yes to an invitation automatically blocks off the afternoon of that day. Luckily, players can delay responding to texts. As long as they respond within the daytime, players can pick which invitation to accept or to ignore all of them completely.
If players want to redo a decision, players can go back to their old saves or use the Rewind function.
Ms. Miyahara will ask a question today. Answering correctly gives +2 Charm.
Officer Kurosawa gives discounts on Mondays. It should be noted that Tartarus has better weapons and armor than what’s currently available here.
Elizabeth will give the players 5 Twilight Fragments upon visiting the Velvet Room if they rank up a social stat.
Mitsuru blocks off the After School period to initiate the player into the Student Council. This unlocks Hidetoshi Odagiri (Emperor Rank 1), and later on, the Justice Social Link (Chihiro Fushimi).
Players must first go to Ms. Toriumi at the faculty office.
After signing, head for the student council room across from the player’s classroom.
Reaching Courage Rank 2 gives players access to the fortune teller service at Club Escapade
Elizabeth will start making requests on 5/10. While completely optional, some rewards are worth the effort.
Quite a few of Elizabeth’s requests can only be completed if players talk to the informant at Club Escapade. Buying URLs from the informant from 4/29 onwards unlocks items or functions needed for these requests. The first two URLs unlock:
Purchasable sold-out drinks at the Iwatodai Station - Required for Elizabeth’s request on 5/10
Lukewarm Taiyaki – Required for Elizabeth’s request on 7/9
Lastly, the Luxury Shopkeeper sells expensive accessories that can protect from all status ailments, grants more EXP, and even revives upon death.
To unlock The Moon, players should rank up their Charm. Grab a bowl of ramen at Hagakure (+3 Charm) to get started.
Mitsuru tells the player that they cannot go on a Tartarus expedition if she’s not in the dorm.
Head out of the classroom and talk to Chihiro next to the student council room. Chihiro will be anxious, so players need to talk to her a second time later.
Hang out with Kenji (Magician Rank 2). You need Rank 3 in his Social Link to discover the Moon Social Link.
Mitsuru informs the player that the dorm’s Internet line will be repaired tomorrow.
Junpei gives the player a copy of Innocent Sin Online. Aside from being a neat nod to Persona 1 and 2, this MMORPG also unlocks the Hermit Social Link.
Eat at Hagakure Ramen (+3 Charm). The shop will inform players that a special menu item is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It can be unlocked at Courage Lv. 3, Determined.
Play Innocent Sin Online to unlock the Hermit Social Link (Hermit Rank 1). This Social Link is only accessible on Sundays and days off.
The Special Hagakure Bowl is listed on Hagakure’s menu, but players can’t buy it until they reach Courage Rank 3, Determined. For now, grab a pork ramen (+3 Charm) to rank up your Charm to Rank 2, Unpolished.
Go back to the classroom and talk to Kenji to rank up (Magician Rank 3). The Moon will not unlock automatically. Players will have to wait until 5/8 to set it in motion.
Order a Prodigy Platter at Wakatsu Kitchen (+3 Academics), which informs the player of the Seafood Full Course. This special dish is offered to regulars on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday nights. But to be recognized as a regular, players need to reach Charm Rank 3(Confident).
With this order, players will reach Academics Rank 2 (Average).
The player overhears Gekkoukan High students talking about Tanaka’s Amazing Commodities. Airing Sundays, the shopping program sells gifts for Social Links, equipment, Elizabeth's requests (7/19), and expendables.
But for efficiency’s sake, hanging out with Yuko (Strength Rank 2) is the top choice today. Reaching Rank 3 for Strength will reveal the Tower Social Link (Mutatsu).
School Social Links can’t be leveled up in the next three days due to Golden Week (5/3–5/6).
Play You’re the Answer at the arcade (+4 Academics).
The Mysterious Boy warns the player of an ordeal one week from now, on Saturday, May 9. The full moon always signals a boss fight.
Players can tune into Tanaka’s Amazing Commodities. Tanaka offers the Rose Bouquet set this week.
Rose Bouquet can be given during dates with female characters for extra Social Link points. The SP-healing chocolate is a bonus.
Buying this set is optional, as the player’s money can be saved for social stat-raising activities.
Say hi to Bunkichi and Mitsuko (Hierophant Rank 3). Make sure a Hierophant Persona is in the party for the rank boost. Bebe will introduce himself and invite the player to join the home economics club.
Players should hold off from fusing Hanged Man and Temperance Personas for now. Sunday evening will be spent in Tartarus to top off funds and fuse new Personas.
Grab dinner at Wilduck Burger (+3 Courage) to rank up Courage to Determined (Rank 3).
Approach Kenji, who should be at Rank 3 by now. He tells the player of the “Gourmet King,” an infamous “foodie.”
Follow up on the rumors by approaching the student on the bench at Paulownia Mall with Courage Rank 2. Unlock the Moon Social Link (Moon Rank 1) by completing Nozomi's tasks.
Tomorrow is a Full Moon. Players cannot do anything all day save for the story-mandated battles. Purchase supplies needed for the minor and boss battles today.
Finish Friday off with House of the Deceased (+4 Courage).
5/9 | May 9, 2009 | Saturday
Today is a Full Moon. Every full moon blocks off the entire day, so plan accordingly.
The Priestess boss has no elemental or physical weakness and is immune to status effects. As such, stat-raising and stat-lowering –ja and –ka skills plus Rebellion work well.
As Hermit is only available on weekends and holidays, improving their social link today is the way (Hermit Rank 4).
Maya will warn the player about a creeper hanging around Paulownia Mall. That creeper is President Tanaka, who will only notice the player if they are at Charm Rank 4. His Social Link, the Devil, also takes several weeks to unlock.
Elizabeth will make requests starting today. She may request items, experiences, Personas, combat-related feats, and dates. Completing these requests is optional, though some of her rewards are worth the effort.
She will also reward the player with 8 Twilight Fragments. A sum of ¥10,000 will also be rewarded if players have reached floor 22 and retrieved Old Document 1 in Tartarus as part of Request #2.
Request #12 (Bring me pine resin) can be completed today. Fast travel back to Iwatodai Dorm and ask Yukari for some pine resin. Elizabeth will exchange the pine resin for a Toy Bow, a weapon for Yukari.
Request #13 (Bring me a handheld game console) can also be completed. Talk to Junpei at the dorm and he’ll hand over his old console. The reward for this quest is the male-exclusive Pixel Vest, an armor that gives +10 SP.
Even with Elizabeth’s rewards, players will still be in the red by now. Set out on a Tartarus expedition. Akihiko will return to the party after the finals, but gathering funds to spend until the next full moon is a top priority.
Buy a fortune from the Fortune Teller to boost rare Shadow rates.
Any major arcana bosses the players defeat will be added to Shuffle Time. Each arcana offers different buffs, such as boosted EXP and attack rates.
If they left Tartarus last time at levels 11 to 12, players can easily complete the first half of Arqa, the newly unlocked block. Always return to the lobby whenever there is an elevator, not a one-way teleporter, to save and regroup.
Twilight Fragments are precious resources that can be picked up in Tartarus. A good rule to have is to only use these for locked chests that require three fragments to get new equipment. Conserve fragments for the clock as well to comfortably finish Arqa’s first block.
Players will also likely fulfill the following requests by today due to natural progress and fusing Personas for Social Links:
Request #5 – Create a Persona that’s level 13 or above
Request #6 – Create a Persona with Kouha
Request #7 – Bring me a Juzumaru
Request #14 – Retrieve the second old document
Request #17 – Fusion Series #1: Emperor, Oberon
Requests #15 and #22 – Defeat 200 to 300 Shadows
At the end of the expedition, players will likely reach Level 18 to 20 by floor 43. They’ll also accumulate ¥20,000 to ¥80,000 from battles, Shuffle Time, Elizabeth’s rewards, and selling loot. Note that unlocking the Devil Social Link (President Tanaka) requires ¥40,000 and Charm Rank 4.
Don’t forget to stop by the school clinic to drink Mr. Edogawa’s medicine (+2 Courage). The Afternoon lecture will also give +2 Academics if players stay awake.

While not mandatory, these give players a chance to get to know male SEES members better. It’s an alternative to the female protagonist-only Social Links from Persona 3 Portable, which are unavailable.
Hanging out with SEES members will also raise their stats permanently. Finishing a S.E.E.S. Member’s Linked Episode questline also unlocks an exclusive Persona fusion.
If a S.E.E.S. Member has two exclamation points above them, or if the icon appears on the town map, it’s likely a Linked Episode.
Players usually have a few days or weeks to complete Linked Episodes.

However, for this guide, have a Special Hagakure Bowl (+4 Charm).
