I can be impulsive at times and this box/key thing was no different. I have always liked the look of the Galor
and Keldon class of ships so the chance to use one is nice....especially in a game that is starting to feel like a pair of old britches.
Given that the chance to get a box with anything of value (based upon MY experience) seems very remote, perhaps cryptic should announce odds. My state lottery web site lists the odds of winning plus the number of prizes available and the amount that remain "in the wild" for every game offered. This helps people to decide where their best chances are in terms of winning.
I suggest cryptic do the same, or something like it.
Back to my being impulsive...
I bought 5000 points (hence the impulsive part) and picked up 50 keys, plus I acquired 3 more for a total of 53 keys. I had 15 "rare" boxes and the rest were "regular" boxes....this is a breakdown of what I received for these boxes....
First, the high value items....if you consider these "high value"...(I do not).
2 rare regenerative shield valued at 83,000 credits
1 rare covariant shield valued at 83,000 credits
Subtotal 3
Next is the mid value stuff...
6 various personal shields valued between 7,000 and 9,000 credits
1 pollyalloy weave armor valued at 6,500 credits
1 lot of 5 ship consumable engine/aux batteries *the value says 20 but I would value them higher
1 lot of 5 ship consumable shield/aux batteries *the value says 20 but I would value them higher
1 lot of 5 ship consumable weapon/aux batteries *the value says 20 but I would value them higher
1 lot of 5 personal combat module health/weapon valued at 640 credits
1 lot of 5 personal combat module shields/weapon valued at 640 credits
1 lot of 5 personal combat module health/shields valued at 640 credits
1 lot of 5 personal combat module damage resistance valued at 640 credits
Subtotal 14
Next up is the completely useless junk...
2 very rare 10,000 CXP bonus pool placards
7 rare 2,000 CXP bonus pool placards
2 rare 1,000 CXP bonus pool placards
*These are useless to a level 50 player with 1.5 million points saved
5x DS9 costume packs (I already had one, can't recall how I got it but none the less, can't use more
than one!)
4 lot of 5x batarat incense
1 lot of 5x unrefined ketracel
2 lot of 5x ferasan leaves
1x very rare cross fire tribble (not sure if this is useful or not)
7 dilithium horta non combat pets
5 sehlat cat cub
Subtotal 36
I have since decided to do what I should have done from the beginning, talk to others that spent time opening boxes and many people have opened more than I have only to have very similar results.
My suggestion to everyone, especially those that might be impulsive, don't spend one nickle in the store and don't for one instant think your missing out on anything of value.
