Revision as of 18:42, 13 October 2007
The 1Up Platinum Cup is headed to the Xbox 360, PC, and PS2 servers on October 19th! This exciting global event is a partnership between 1Up.com and Gurhal Channel 5, and will take place in a virutal space: VR Gurhal. This event will be your only chance to pick up some of the rarest and most desired items of Phantasy Star Universe.
GUARDIANS will undertake missions and be evaluated on their intuition, friendship, endurance, and luck. These missions are extremely fun and will truly test GUARDIANS and their ability to perform under pressure. Strive to be the best and achieve the rank of "Platinum Perfect" and a prize so awesome, we can't talk about it here![1]
Contents
Event overview
The 1Up Platinum Cup is the US equivalent of the JP server's Famitsu Cup (aka Gurhal Crossreview) event. If the Japanese event is any indication, the 1Up Platinum Cup will be a 5-week long event, featuring 4 event missions starting from the newly opened club in Clyez City. One quest will be available for each of the first four weeks, with the fifth week featuring all four quests at once.
In each of the four quests, players will be ranked according to their performance. If the highest ranking is obtained, players will be able to play one of two (or three) special "EX missions" (each of the four event missions has three EX missions, though the third is only available on the fifth week). In the EX missions, players remain in one room, facing a continuous onslaught of two types of enemies. In this circumstance, the enemies have much lower stats (~30%), and their drop rates are approximately five times the norm. After each wave of enemies is defeated, a large number of boxes will appear, from which various rare boards may drop.
As with Operation Firebreak, completing event missions in the 1Up Platinum Cup will contribute to a server-wide point total. If enough points are earned, various prizes (such as increased item synthesis rates and periods of level 3 Photon Fortune) will be obtained. Furthermore, the special Kubara grenade launcher Song for Death may be available for players who accumulate the highest point totals.
Exchange mission
As an additional part of this event, there will likely be a special "exchange mission" (similar to the Ban-photon exchange in Operation Firebreak). In this mission, players will be able to exchange Rappy Feathers for special items, such as those listed in the following table:
| Item | No. Feathers |
|---|---|
| Rappy Mode | 30 |
| Rabol Rappy | 25 |
| Formal Wear | 20 |
| Bikini Swimwear | 15 |
| Petrified Rappy | 5 |
| Maiden's Ship | 3 |
| Rappy Figure | 2 |
| Inverter Circuit | 1 |
| Scape Doll | 1 |
The JP server also had Real Handgun and Twin Real Handgun available during this event (for 20 and 15 Feathers, respectively), but only for those users playing from an officially sponsored NetCafe. It is unlikely that these items will be available in the 1Up Cup exchange mission.
Mission overview
Assuming the Cup is the same as its JP equivalent, the missions should be available in this order:
| Time | Missions Available |
|---|---|
| Week 1 (10/19-10/25) | Parum (with EX 1+2) |
| Week 2 (10/26-11/1) | Moatoob (with EX 1+2) |
| Week 3 (11/2-11/8) | Neudaiz (with EX 1+2) |
| Week 4 (11/9-11/15) | Colony (with EX 1+2) |
| Week 5 (11/16-11/22) | All missions (with EX 1, 2 & 3) |
It should be noted that the JP server had a sixth week identical to the fifth, but this week was not originally planned, but was rather reimbursement for unexpected server issues during the event. It is highly unlikely that the 1Up Cup will have a sixth week.

NB: This page is still under construction, and there is much that still needs to be added. In the meantime, here is a useful guide that covers the basics of the event.
