Editing Box run

[[Box run]] refers to a strategy of accessing a multitude of [[item boxes]] in a short amount of time. This can be achieved by playing the quest {{Quest link|Phantasmal World 3}} and progressing through 2 rooms to gain access to an area with 44 item boxes. [[Box run|Box runs]] are a quick and easy method of obtaining {{PSO icon|meseta}}[[Meseta]]. Additionally, it can be efficient for [[hunting common weapons]] and certain rare drops.

=Quest=
{{Quest link|Phantasmal World 3}} is a Episode 2 quest. To access the area with the [[item boxes]], the player has to progress through the left door in the first room. From there going straight leads to a warp with the item boxes. 

A few [[monsters]] have to be defeated along the way. Without the right gear, it can be challenging or time consuming to deal with them. Using [[Weapons#Instant kill|instant kill]] methods like {{Megid}} for [[Forces]] or high [[Hit]] [[Hell]] weapons like Hell [[Raygun]] with {{Unit|rare|V501}} or {{Unit|rare|V502}} is an efficient way to defeat the enemies.

=Meseta=
{{PSO icon|meseta}}[[Meseta]] can be acquired quickly by picking up {{Frame|Frames}} and {{Shield|Barriers}} and selling them to the Pioneer 2 shops. In Ultimate difficulty, this is the fastest way to accumulate Meseta. However, in lower difficulties it's still a good way to acquire Meseta if funds for purchasing replenishing items like {{PSO icon|fluid}}[[Trifluid|Trifluids]] are running low.

=Common weapons=
[[Item boxes]] can also drop common [[weapons]]. Additionally, all [[monsters]] that have to be defeated along the way can drop them too. Entering the left room from where the item boxes are located grants access to four more enemies that can drop common weapons. 

[[Seabed Upper]] also has one of the best [[Weapon_attribute_drop_tables#Pattern_selection|common weapon patterns]], which increases the chance of obtaining common weapons with high percentage [[attributes]] like [[Hit]]. One additional strategy is to play the quest in [[Anguish]] level 1 to push the common weapon pattern to the best possible in the game. This pattern push only applies to common weapon drops from monsters though. Common weapons from item boxes can only have the original pattern selection.

Every [[ID]] has its own [[Weapon_attribute_drop_tables#Common_weapon_drop_table|common weapon drop table]]. {{Viridia}}, {{Skyly}}, {{Purplenum}}, {{Redria}} and {{Whitill}} are considered the best IDs to hunt for common weapons.

=Rare items=
[[Item boxes]] can drop rare items too. {{Redria}} and {{Whitill}} are the best [[IDs]] for item box rare drops in [[Seabed Lower]] as there's a chance to obtain {{Sword|rare|Diska of Braveman}}. Additionally, on {{Redria}} ID, {{Sword|rare|Monkey King Bar}} and {{Sword|rare|Yunchang}} can be obtained from defeating the enemies along the way. {{Redria}} also has a very good [[Weapon_attribute_drop_tables#Common_weapon_drop_table|common weapon drop table]] and is thus considered to be the best ID for [[Box run|Box runs]]. Note however that [[item drops]] from item boxes are unaffected by any [[Item_drops#Item_box|drop boosts]], therefore playing the quest on [[Anguish]] won't have an effect on item box drop rates. The chance to obtain at least one {{Sword|rare|Diska of Braveman}} is <code>13%</code> per box run on {{Redria}} and {{Whitill}} ID.
