Between today and yesterday I traded in over 500 Anemos Lockboxes. Nothing but garbage.
Tell me, how is this fair? I know people that are selling the mount to the NPCs because they’ve gotten multiples while I can’t get one single drop. I am LITERALLY trading in hundreds of these stupid boxes and have nothing to show for it but and inventory full of trash that sells for 1 Gil a pop. Again, how is this fair? Explain to me why it’s ok. Am I not doing the work? I’ve put up with the complete dumpster fire that is Eureka for over 1000 lockboxes total, and still no mount. I am owed and explanation, but I know I’ll get none. I expect this thread to be deleted before anyone can read it because I dared to question the almighty SE’s wisdom.
What a crock of BS.
500 Lockboxes.

It was worse before update for now the only thing worth anything are the Materia VI ( mainly for gear melding anemos 5 slot ) , Mount, RDM Barding, 10K gill purse and minions ( to an extend ), Cracked Crystals, . Other than that yes they are junk, well Eureka potions are useful. -.-. I had 15k in lock boxes compare to 500 I just sold extras with NPC.
Now if it is BS you can always try hunting books, Spirit bound conversions, for Materia VI....yeah I will stick with BS than do that again. -

I have over 1500 lockboxes that I'm not sure if I want to open them lol
I got the mount, barding, everything pretty much but the materia is nice. -

You are not the only one that hasn't managed to get the mount after trading what must be around 1000 lootboxes
all I have to show for it.... general trash, Meteria V and VI, minions, red mage barding, armor, song rolls and funiture
i've heard of a few people getting 10 mount -

I really wish we could trade the extra ones. I got a couple I wish I could trade to my unlucky friends. :(

RNGesus is RNGesus? I've opened well over probably 3K lootboxes during my time in Eureka - only have seen 4 t-rex horns and 2 red mage bardings. minions have only seen 3 of each one.

04-12-2018, 01:48 AMDreamAngel-RenI already have my mount only to get three more, BUT I did NOT sell them because I know SE will eventually make them tradable so I can give my extras away to the people who have no luck.Quote:

I'm still playing Eureka because I want my Emperor's Hairpin; many players were lucky to get one except for me (some have multiples of them in their inventory) X[ I WANT MY HAIRPIN, EMPEROR OF ANEMOS!! -

500? I opened over 4K before I got the mount. I also made about 5-6m profit from all the materia.
It’s all RNG. -

That was just over two days. I don’t know how many I opened before I started keeping track, but I estimate it to be over 1000. If that doesn’t sound absolutely ridiculous to you then I don’t know what to tell you.

Sorry but you're owed no explanation beyond what's already been told. The rewards from opening a lockbox are random and you've been unlucky, thats it. Its fair because its RNG, everyone has the same chance of getting the items on the loot table when they open the box. How many they open doesn't change the drop rate, it just gives you another chance to roll. If this thread is deleted it'll be because you're overly rude and antagonistic, not because you questioned SE on their loot table.

04-12-2018, 02:56 PMBesameI got 2x Hairpins the first week and have not seen one since. IMO, they nerf items and never say anything.Quote:

The "altar" Paz drops is really low budget. Why bother? Make the thing decent sized or able to stay on... dang!

Took me 2000ish before I got my mount, obviously rngesus thought it was necessary to then give me 5 more in my last 200. Everything besides eureka potions and materia(which I've made a ton of money off of from these loot boxes) is junk once you've gotten them once.
I wish more things dropped from the NMs themselves becauses even though that is still total rng it's way more rewarding to get than spamming a button 500 times until ur inventory is full of pot helmets and fireworks. Like I was legitimately excited when I finally got my scorpion harness the first time(the harness to me was what the hairpin is to a few people in this thread) it got to a point where I started solo killing scorpions to spawn serket for the train if they weren't there :P
Only thing I need now is the pazuzu alter which could take a while. -
04-13-2018, 12:33 AMDreamAngel-RenThe struggle! XD The stuff that I already have drops like crazy, but the item I REALLY want doesn't. RNG is so twisted!Quote:

I have opened 3,000+ lock boxes and have yet to get the mount. I have gotten every other item that Eureka has to offer except that mount. I am not complaining, I just think it is funny. I will get it eventually!

I didn't get any rate items in my first couple thousand lockboxes, then I started getting too many after that. This week I even had 2 boxes in a row that both contained the mount lol. My combined total of mount and barding drops is up to about 33 so far.

05-11-2018, 06:38 PMIng-DonoI just made a "macro" (pressing numpad 0) every 0.75 seconds and bound it to my headset as a toggle. got through 1700 boxes in about half an hour, did have to take some time to place the massive amount of furniture in my house to create space in my inventory.Quote:

05-11-2018, 11:53 PMAvatreI'm half dreading what all I will get out of the lockboxes I've been too lazy to open, and just throw into my saddlebags....there are only about 3500 of them(will definitely be making a pretty penny...but so much running back and forth with items to be thrown at NPCs/retainer that holds all my materia).Quote:
