    Remember it's pure luck bro so looting a nice mythic/arcane item isn't a guarantee. I too have opened hundreds of lockeds and got nothing but yesterday I opened 20 and looted an mythic uller helm. We all feel your pain believe me, We've all been there done that. Better luck for the future

    So you mean using 8750 and not get a thing is ok i don't think so bro . I spent just about a 1000 dollars in 3 months and not get one arcane this makes me feel more like a rip off this is like evening about 1500 crates and get nothing Plz what luck is that common it's all about money as well you put more plat you get more so don't tell me that in 1500 I should not get at least 1 mythic

    You could open 1 million locks and get nothing but 2k rewards and legendaries. Luck is luck, there isn't a guarantee. Sure it feels like putting that much plat in should give you something, but luck doesn't work that way. Sorry you put that much money into it, but that's how the locked crates work.

    You bought plat and you used that plat to gamble. For clarification, you bought plat, not guaranteed loot. You got what you payed for.

    You cant get your paycheck, lose it all at the casino, and blame your employer because you didnt win.

    If you used that 7,000 plat to buy ankhs/elixir kits to sell them in auction, you could've banked roughly 15-21m gold.

    Read my op again. It doesn't once say what you have just assumed. The problem with lockeds is that they lure people into a false sense of success and give people the belief that if they open x amount they're gonna loot some riches. As I said in my original post we have all felt your pain too. I hope you find what you desire inside a crate one day bro

    Thank you for wording that excellently. That's what I was trying to say.

    The money u spend on this game is not for real money to take back not even close I been good customer for space time and they know that first time it ever happed to me this time I don't see people selling a lot of item like last double odds weekend I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that had this issue. I understand 1750 but 8750 it's more like a ripoff on this game . It's stupid to think that it's like gamble to get stuff back I would of never gamble in that case

    The 2x will get ya. 2x means nothing at all because nobody knows what 1x odds are. That is STS fault. Gambling is yours. I pop locks as much as the next but I always assume I'll lose. You would have better luck with a gambling game where the odds are clearly stated... ie blackjack. My thoughts of why odds aren't disclosed is that some of us would pool a fairly large sample size and test/contest the odds. They likely change, whether on purpose or accident. Until they choose to clarify, the fault remains on us. Better luck next time. Or as someone stated above, sell elixirs and ankhs. You can ballpark a guaranteed return, probably better than looting HJ egg in 100 locked crates.

    It's just a matter of luck. You ready to lose all or win big, it's like gambling. And it's not STS' fault.

    So 7-8k plat is like $400-$500 right? If you were going to buy...say...a new phone for that amount, you would research it first right? Most people would do searches, read reviews online, and see what other people's experiences with the product were. After all, you wouldn't want to spend that much and get a crappy phone.

    Same goes for this. You're spending money on a product, it's worth finding out if it's going to be worth it. Less than 10 minutes of searching this forum found the following information about opening locked crates. This is just a small sample of the numerous threads on the topic:

    My locked crate opening experience this weekend
    How many does it take
    Odds
    This is not fair
    open lock with 900plat
    opening locked
    How lucky have you been
    lockeds just for money
    Used 100 dollars worth of locked crates
    HammerJaw Pet I'm not happy that I didn't get one
    You never know what you can do until you try
    There are two ways of doing something: right, and again.

    Basically this is gambling and the codes in it are random chance. At lower usage of plats and lower amount of lockeds, say less than 50 u have a better chance at myths and arcanes. From my perspective never open a single locked. U basically can use it for other things also.

    From that 5k plats u could've got 13.6m from only selling ankh from every penny of plats. Think of other things, lockeds arent the only way of richy rich.

    Lol a month before from now a guy joined, i helped him to reach level 15,then while running brackenridge brackenridge,he got a locked crate,maybe he was running with luck elixir i didnt care that much,so when we finished then he asked how to open locked that is with 15 plat,he didnt had plats,so he bought some and opened the locked crate.


    He told me he looted something called maul and it was red in colour(although i bought him some gears lol) then i didn't paid much attention then when i told him to equip the weapon I was like

    WHATTT!

    he just got one arcane item in one shot and i have opened like more than 500 locked,i couldnt believe my eyes.

    Then he just asked me if i had more ,then i traded with him for 7 lock(he bought gold with plat and then gave 70k,LOL my bad luck was going on so i didnt care to open them),he then got samael and glacian along with that legendary kraken gear.

    He gave me glacian lol

    and i Was like YIPPEEE (for long time i was waiting for glacian)

    After that he reached lvl 27 but couldnt hear him getting more than epic from locked

    sounds fishy, how does a level 15 equip a level 31 arcane weapon?
    Up and down, over and through, back around, the jokes on you!

    You have to read the fine print. It say exactly what the drop rates are in locks. Just you would need the latest microscope that costs USD 300mil to read the fine prints.

    FYI I still don't know the drop rates because I can't afford the microscope.
