    Hi all,

    I was wondering, if the community could manage to create a list of odds for the items found in Lock Boxes. I've been looking for numbers on the web, but didn't find anything useful. In my opinion it would go a long way if we could make transparent what's going on there.

    Now here comes a suggestion to make that happen: Answer this thread by posting what you found on opening each lock box.

    Example to report results from four Lock boxes:
    Fleet Mark Bonus Pool, 5 Lobi
    Polarized Disruptor Weapon Pack, 4 Lobi
    Standard Duty Officer Mini-Pack, 6 Lobi
    Polarized Disruptor Weapon Pack, 8 Lobi


    or shorter:
    4 Boxes: 1x Fleet Mark Bonus Pool, 2x Polarized Disruptor Weapon Pack, 1x Standard Duty Officer Mini-Pack, 23 Lobi

    Please stick to these examples as closely as possible, which will make my analysis much easier.

    I'd go ahead and publish accumulated numbers, percentages and average Zen price (based on the regular 10-Pack price) below*:

    Based on 0 Boxes
    • Temporal Science Vessel Starship: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Cross-Faction Starship Console: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Mirror Universe Ship Pack: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Temporal Duty Officers: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Fleet Mark Bonus Pool: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Fleet Credit Bonus Pool: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Temporal Beacon Storage Device: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Polarized Disruptor Weapon Pack: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Gamma Quadrant Duty Officer Mini-Pack: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Standard Duty Officer Mini-Pack: 0, 0%, ~0 Zen
    • Average Lobi per Box: 0, ~0 Zen

    The list will be updated once during the next three days and then at least once per week until we have somewhat stable numbers. Of course, this depends heavily on a lot of people reporting their findings below. I'd expect, we need at least several hundred entries before we have reliable statistics.

    Regards,
    Rachel

    Levi3 already has a thread in Ten Forward. He purchased 250 Keys and is going to post the results there.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    It has already been done on previous lockboxes. The odds were around 0.5% chance and I doubt that has changed much if any since...

    Well, seems like a community manager decided to merge my thread into this one.

    Then let me restate, that I would suggest to crowd-source this project, instead of having just one guy do everything at once. Also, the sample size of 250 is a bit low. Will turn up good values for frequent rewards, but very unreliable numbers for rare items.

    Regards,
    Rachel

    A thread like this is the last thing I would trust. Its all too easy for Cryptic to juice the boxes Levi gets to slant the numbers in their favor.

    Yeah, because Cryptic really wants to spend the time coding just to make Levi3 happy when there's always dozens of threads about this with each new Lockbox. :)

    No, I think they do many things wrong, but I don't think they care about Levi3's 250 Keys, or my 150 Keys, or however many Rachelgarrett or you plan on using. It's irrelevant. Levi3 could open his 250 boxes and get nothing. I could open up my 150 and get 5 special ships. It's all random, and Cryptic just doesn't care enough to modify that for any particular player. The simple truth is only a fraction of the player-base even comes to the forum so no one is even going to really read Levi3's thread to be influenced by whatever numbers he gets.

    Also, my avatar is not the Fed President. He's the bridge officer aboard the Saratoga. :)

    They probably have to make the Wells class as rare as possible, so I wasn't expecting to see one so quick.

    Correct that you didn't get Lobi for the 5th box?

    That's not the purpose of the thread - the chances are low for a big prize. I really do think that this is the best Box so far - so if you wanted to try the box thing i think this one is a good one to start.

    I have to agree, that at least the box is not dropping bateries and all that TRIBBLE, I prefer to receive at least some common DOFFs than bateries or useless green/blue equipment...

    But so far, if someone used real money to buy those keys... well... we are getting into the scam territory you know?

    Other than that, I would never understand WHY Cryptic doesn't publish the REAL chances of getting the loots, that should be fair to everyone.

    Anyway, back on topic, i'm eager to see the final results of your 250 keys (250 dolars aprox, right?)

    True, but no ship for 40 bucks worth of keys ? 65ish lobis per 10 pack of keys (10 bucks) will get you an energy whip, or a buncha consumables or non-combat pets. The rapid-fire missile launcher would be cool- but not for 4 keypacks (40 bucks).

    As I said, you're convincing me that the whole lockbox thing is a scam. But I am curious how deep this well goes, so you keep doing what your doing.

    Well, through 50 boxes you've managed to get around 260 Lobi. That means I should get close to 800 in my 150 boxes. That's not too bad. That'll get me a Lobi Store ship. :)
