Re: Death of the Event Chests
#21Not to mention that apple said they need to release drops chance percentages so people know what they will be getting
Tokens use to have a much greater drop rate 15-20 per 100 just on mount tokens alone pet tokens had the same rate. 5-8/100 would of been a hard task to outfit 6 toons to max t1 mounts and 2 to max t4, (448 tokens). About to have 3rd maxt4, Mounts been out 3yrs now? 2 events under old regime of OTM that’s 448 tokens in 2000... that’s like 1:5 chests. I did buy a few along with some from bounties, but I have also flipped some mounts when the new ones came out. It is possible the have been diminishing slowly with each new event due to adding of new items to the loot table as stated earlierI don’t think the mount tokens rate is lower. There’s just a smash and grab reason for people to collect them.
The normal need: new chars, upgrading current mounts
New need: spectral mounts
That has drained everyone. Chests aren’t even a reliable source of tokens; if you buy 100 chests, you’ll get around 5-8 tokens.
Gold sinks already exist in game, Cooking, Fishing, AH with its tax on the sales... pet food, mount summoning, whistles should be the sink IMO, 1k each... or reduce the 1hr delay to 15mins maybe.Time to insert some gold sinks?
That isn’t what this post was about, it was about the drop rates of the chests, the overwhelming loot table they now have and causing the diminishment of drop rates of items. Example 3% of 100 item loot table vs. 3% of 1000 item loot tableI agree with the person earlier, not many are buying platinum or chests at the moment, for various reason so there isn’t as much for sale.
Some people are buying but not selling the lix as they are waiting for bonus XP.
Some just can’t log at the moment while the game is updated more to make it older device friendly.
If you think of it this all would make the economy change for a bit.
I know what you are saying bit of course at the same time from the bigger pit if people are not buying then surely the stats have changed?That isn’t what this post was about, it was about the drop rates of the chests, the overwhelming loot table they now have and causing the diminishment of drop rates of items.

I edited to the last 470 Chests, also by parsing it out like this I have came to noticing the pattern of the 3 slots... the chests work in the way that when you open it randomizes which slots you get, 1,2,3 or all, or can refer to them as tiers, each tier also has its own loot table.
1st tier consists of;
Energy Sigs
Health Sigs
Knows
10k gold
60 plat
Restos
Resurrections
2nd Tier consists of ;
Combos
Heroic Knows
Most all the lixes
330plat
Tier 3 consists of;
All big winner items, gold, Plat
All Fashion
Mount/pet tokens
Dragon/ Phoenix Eggs
I’ll update the tiers and try to put them in order of their drop rates, but as you can see the addition of the Aeon has created an issue on the 3rd tier as there is just way to many items for that Tier. the Aeon fashion and all the instruments andCharms all should be moved to the Fashion vendor where can be purchased with tokens if someone so wants it. And yes this would include the Lanrik... I know people would hate this but but it’s old fashion and it’s either all or none... or move all the new fashion to the vendors like was done awhile ago but never changed, it like just died and remains as it did several events ago.
