Lockbox - open now or wait for resurgence?

I'm trying to get a handle on the game, and was wondering if it is worth trying to get new gear from loclboxes now while the markets fresh, or wait till a resurgence box drops that will have more options in it.

    Not sure when the resurgence boxes will hit ps4. The level less equipment is what you want from these boxes. However, you get trade bars from all lockboxes, which can be used to buy armour and other equipment, so even if you open some now you will still accrue trade bars which can be used later. The lockboxes are rng so it's luck (good/bad/meh) of the draw what you get out anyway! I

    Lockbox RNG is kinda getting on my nerves. I'm probably going to start stockpiling keys. I did get an artifact belt yesterday, nothing else of particular value. I think the server wide announcement f people opening mounts is what gets to me. I've opened 50+ boxes and got 1 really good item.

    I opened 50 the other day and no sign of the legendary mount or anything other than just basic packs. Considering what you have to pay to get keys it seems a little low on the percentage chance to actually get one. Anyone know what the actual % chance is?

    While it's nice to get special things the other things in the boxes aren't valueless. At least true of this particular box anyway. They contain valuable items for refinement and kitting up your newbie toons. A good portion of the time the contents are also decent resale on ah

    Mine are just building up in the bank, not sure if any will be getting opened. Is there a way to get the keys without buying them with zen?
  • spookymoo#7778 spookymoo Member Posts: 69 Arc User
    There are only two ways to get Enchanted Lockbox keys .
    1. Buy keys with zen at 125 zen per key.
    2. Buy VIP for a month. This costs 1000 zen per month. VIP benefits Include a daily enchanted key - this is a more efficient way to get keys. Keys are character bound.
    You can spend real money through ps store to purchase zen.
    Oryou can convert astral diamonds, save up and sell them for zen - it's time consuming but doable.

    I got the burning blade main hand and burning grimoire off hand from the Elemental_Artifact_Weapon_Choice_Pack
    They came in epic/purple already. and boosted my gear score above 2000 so i could start earning my Seal_of_the_Protector and Twisted_Ichor I'm now able to work on my end game gear already, because i opened my lock box and got lucky. it could have been weeks before i could run 2000 gear score dungeons without those items.
