Phantasy Star Universe -- The 1-Up Cup: Wrap-Up.

We've reached the end of the 1-Up Cup within Phantasy Star Universe. The month has been good to us overall. There were some frustrations at not being able to get everything. Mostly rare items like the Blackbull dropped from the final set of boxes in the EX missions. S-ranking them proved harder than anticipated. We come away from the event in rather good positions going into the expansion come Tuesday. We're all at the level cap. The event allowed Riddel and Neo to catch Magus and myself. They wouldn't have likely been able to do so without it. Most of us are in S-rank armor and we've got some S-rank weaponry. Stuff available before the event but stuff remaining out of our reach previously. We're also all considerably more wealthy then we were before the event. I came away with eleven million Meseta. We've all got boards for armor and weapons waiting to be synthesized. We're awaiting the bonuses awarded to us based on our communal point total. We got further than expected in that regard with over four-million points. We unlocked all but the final bonus. We've got our unique event rewards like clothing and special weapons and armor as well. I would call the 1-Up Cup a great success. In the four days we have before the expansion we'll be taking it easy and just messing around with our alternate classes and counting the days.
