Since I'm kinda bored, I'd like to share my story of how I went from a middle class (no mythic, legendaries, tarlok set, and architect blades lv 36) to where I am today (elondrian bow, full mythic, samael, medusa set). I've played for about a year and can say getting rich is a combination of luck and hard work. Let me explain...
Getting my mythic armor was about hard work. I joined The Collective and farmed elites about 5/7 days for about 3-4 hrs a day. I distinctly remember candlicks, bigoggy, and fadedtwo being my close friends and we farmed a ton together. I remember I got a good drop within a couple days, it was a magmatic totem of brutality lv 41 worth about 1.4m at the time. I was like wow, elites are cool and eventually I should get rich. Boy was I wrong, the drop I got was very rare and it took another week of farming to get another one and eventually after grueling farming I got enough for the mythic armor.
Getting the elondrian bow was luck, but I was able to make money during the elondrian event as well through farming and selling drops such as the gyrm egg. It only took about 1.5mil to run the event and make a profit once you hit gold tier and started to get gyrm eggs which sold for more than the cost of running. It was smart of me to save and maximize my money for the event. Every so often I would do some plat offers in hopes of getting lucky. I did one plat offer for swagbucks that gave me 350 plat that got me the chest with the bow. The offer itself took nearly 2 weeks of work on its own, but eventually I took a chance and got lucky.
Lastly I want to talk about the Halloween event. Boy this was a ride for me... I had stopped playing AL for a while after the event and got on a couple weeks before the event and realized The Collective wasn't so active. So i sought out guilds and chose Karma as a guild. I was decently rich, I had mythic armor, fangs, blood ruby, and the bow so I was somewhat equipped to join the guild. I had about 5 dova bears, a gyrm egg, and about 2.5mil from farming the elondrian event and thought okay cool another event that I could make profit on. However, it turned out profit wasn't easy to make after all. Grimm prices and witch vanities stopped giving me profit past about the third day and I started to lose money. I decided okay maybe I just want to make top 50 in the leaderboard for this cool banner... So I kept on running and running until I realized hmm maybe I can make top 25 for the vanity which could make me 10x richer than before. So I ran and ran and ran some more because I new at the end if I was top 25, it would be all worth it. By the end of the first week I was top 25. Now, lets take a step back here, counting my total money I only had about 6mil in eggs and money so how did I eventually end up in top 25? This is where I had to spend money, and I decided I had to in order to make it into the top 25. I used it wisely though and I invested some in energy and some in locked, and this is where risk pays off. I was able to get a ghoulish sceptor and sold it for 9mil which funded the rest of my runs and got me to where I am today. I have sold some vanity and have gotten samael.
While I have spent money, it was only to an extreme to compete with the top rouges of AL. I didn't have to spend to get rich though. Hard work, merching, and a bit of luck from free plat offers is mainly how I got rich and I decided the Halloween event is where I would go all and invest everything. I sold everything, my lep pendant, my fangs, and almost my ruby in order to run the event. I went down to 500 gold at one point just waiting to get my next 1100 points to sell a grimm for about 420k. I farmed wt4 and km4 and had to work very hard in order to get rich.
So that's my story haha...hope that it's not too long.

These armors are good only for twinks. They are designed so they scale gradually from the lowest to the highest level. They still give a good armor boost so they are not as bad for casual players, they allow you do elites and if you add a para gem then you will have almost the same damage as a upgraded myth set.
I agree they are not the best item but really good items should not be limited time only.
If you have a myth set then enjoy it while it lasts. If new mythic armor is released then it is going to be really expensive. The current mythic set is affordable and reliable. So care what you wish for, many people complaing about new armors not being as good but if sts releases new myth armors im sure many of them won't even have the gold to buy it, myself included.
@dogoeswoof cool story bro, you opened a few locks and got new myth bow and scepter.
Lol well the locked crate system is based on real life lottery system in my opinion , yea we all open crates and get common gold or something useless at points but it's not even profitable sometimes it's like a waste , and even the elite maps nothing be dropping, the market sucks too.
Crates drop prices because they suck...
Elite hardly drops nothing and it eats our potions and potions are quite expensive since we burn more than 100 #the struggle
Shooting cannons for 1 gold is useless....
Begging got useless....
Event didn't even benefit for the poor players =\ it was just based for the high and alrighty people
Mobs got extremely powerful over the last updates like something changed .....
Elixirs seem to have no effects in elite at all....
I see why people are scamming , even the rich players are scamming others and tricking them...
they even said game was focused on pve yet pvp is ruined.. They need to add like 4 truelees in each pvp map to balance it out imo....
F2p yes but there's absolutely no balanced between paid and free.
Merching is useless now i can't even merch any locked crates anymore lol. Basically what should really happen is if the game is all based on crates why not increase the prices on crates so money will be balanced in game, just like how the prices of energy suddenly raised.
Thanks, I enjoyed writing it.
Also a word of advice for anyone. Running the event is a grind and I sorta made it sound easy lol. It is actually not easy... Stayed up til like 3am for like week and got only 4-5hrs of sleep each day. Exhausting but well worth it in the end
+1 on getting arcane or mythics on PVE. It's fun.

Yea you shouldn't need a lottery in real life to succeed
The new mythic armor should not drop in locks, it should be farmable.
Ikr so why do we need a crate in AL to succeed
Thats what most of the population wants but we know sts doesnt always do what we want.
@Amvulpix
There are problems in the economy of AL but in every economy, there are problems, and there is no such thing as a utopia friend
If locked crates aren't your thing, don't touch em XD
If elites aren't your thing, you don't have to do them
The event did help poor players, those who stayed with it and farmed with friends for energy and ran probably got enough for at least a vanity or grimm
Merching is not easy, I am terrible at it and its definitely not for the impatient like me haha
Remember, getting rich is not going to happen in a day and its not easy. Unless you open locked which is completely optional
Also, you don't have to get rich by winning the crate lottery. I did it through farming elites and km4 and eventually through events. I believe that crates are only a shortcut if you want to spend money. My advice - wait til new season and new maps and farm a ton of those new elites.
And remember, have fun and stay positive, if you want to take a break take a break like I did and rejoin when there are events and new updates which are always a blast!

Doesn't have to be a utopia. I'm saying mythics and arcanes should be farmable, and like you said, you should have to grind for it. It's not like everyone is going to get the new amulet in a day even though it's farmable. STS would lose money.@Amvulpix

i am a non-plat user and i made millions from this event
Sts don't work for free..They earn money from games (plats)
U cant blame them for it
It's their job
( m a non plat user too, hate it but it's ok

LOL ignore my posts and other peoples posts and just keep crying, thats how us hard working people who dont open crates and still have the best endgame gear see you.
What i say is simple, you dont need platinum to make it here, it just has the possibility to make you rich alot faster.

There are many individuals in game who succeeded financially in game without the use of Platinum. Look at Basketholic, for example. Probably the top 5 or top 3 richest person in this game. How many locks did he open? Zero. I think I made my point.
And Obee, there is a farmable arcane item as well as a mythic item coming in the near future.
Sts is a company. Companies make money.
"Mythics and arcanes should be farmable" Ok lets say like this, if myths and arcns was farmable, the drop rate would be lower than an arcane egg from locked, and everyone would be complaining anyway.
And people that complain about that the event is for richer players, sit up, farm for 7h day, and you will for sure get a good amount with gold
If you are to lazy, blame yourself for being poor and stop complain on rich players, events.
