All manner of items can drop from boxes found throughout Gurhal, but the type of item you receive may depend partially on the type of box opened. This article will detail the variety of box drops that exist in Phantasy Star Universe.

Normal boxes

The most common type of box found scattered about Gurhal is described simply as a normal box. Generally speaking, these boxes will contain consumable items, room decorations and various photons, metals, wood and hard materials. In the case of photons and metals, the type found will depend on the area where they drop. Similarly, types of wood and hard materials depend upon the planet which they are found. These box drops are also known as area box drops.

Special boxes

Special boxes describe any box or other object (such as a tree or fruit) which notoriously drops a particular item. Often times, these box types are specific to a mission as opposed to an area. The contents of special boxes can range from rare gemstones and alloys to unique biomaterials and in the case of rare missions, they are known to contain a variety of weapons.

Boss boxes

Boss box is a general term used to describe any set of boxes which appear at the end of a mission after it has been cleared. These boxes can contain any of the items found in an area's normal boxes along with various weapons, line shields, units or synthesis boards specific to a particular mission or boss. Please note that the boxes which appear following the defeat of a major boss are identified in PSUPedia's drop charts by the boss's name. Any other occurrence, such as those that appear after defeating a mini-boss or large group of enemies in the final room of a mission, are identified as boss boxes.
