    Like in other places where RNG is involved, very streaky results. I usually open them in batches. If I don't see a purple result in four or five tries, I stop. Once I got three +4 gravestrikers on five opens.

    I use the same method of namelesshero and i've take 2 +4 on 10 opens.

    Funnily enough I was going to ask whether the Omu treasure chests were worth pursuing - I think I have done about 20 and got two lizard masks and one + 3 ring and nothing much else.

    I opened them in batches each week (6x 4 toons = 24 per week). It took me 3 weeks to get the rings I need 2x +4, 2x +5.

    I agree that opening up big streaks of nothing appears to be a thing in this game. Short batches for everything (lockboxes too). If you want to add extra tin foil to your hat, go to an unpopulated map (my fav is weekly portal, but any number of outdated lairs serve well). My main keeps Makos' funeral ending map open for that purpose.

    I have 2 +5 and many +4. I usually open 30+ boxes in one shot. Yes, I did not open anything for weeks.

    I just don't buy the RNG figures/methods NW is using on this.

    On one hand a player is getting 0 / 216
    Another 4 / 75
    Another 2 / 10 [yes i know
    Another 3 / 5

    I know the science of luck and probability and I know that this is too small a sample - but really whatever happened on the first OP opens [0/216] seems way out compared to the other figures quoted here.

    I uphold my theory that my account is cursed. I also uphold the theory that Neverwinter has a flawed RNG system. This second theory can never be proven or dis-proven since Cryptic will never allow the players to know any details concerning how they determine 'random results'.

    My theory of flawed RNG is the Schrodinger's Cat of Neverwinter. We can never truly know if it is or isn't flawed because Cryptic will never open the box for us to see.
