Item box

Item boxes are objects which can be found on the surface of Ragol in the various Areas. They can be destroyed by striking them with either Weapons or Techniques (with the exception of Megid), and can produce Weapons; Frames, Barriers, or Units; Tools; or Meseta. Some areas (such as Ruins and Subterranean Desert) will change the look of Item boxes to match the area's aesthetic.

Some Item boxes may be set to drop specific items (e.g. some boxes in 1-1:Planet Ragol will only ever drop Monomates), or specific categories of items (e.g. some boxes in 1-3:Subterranean Den will only ever drop Tools).

Hunting for item boxes can be an efficient way to obtain Meseta, common weapons or certain rare items. The most efficient way to access a multitude of item boxes is explained in the box run guide.

Item box drops are not affected by any drop rate bonuses, including (but not limited to):

• Drop anything rate (DAR);
• Rare drop rate (RDR);
• Anguish common weapon rates;
• Photon Drop drop bonuses;
• Event drop rate bonuses;
• Altered weapon percentage patterns from Anguish
