Rage of the Ren'gol Sneak Peek | Ren'gol Crates

Attachment 134730

As you may have previously heard in Productor's May Producer's Letter, Locked Grand Crates of the Watch will be retired with the release of the new expansion. The good news? There are new crates coming to take their place!

The Locked Crates of the Ren'gol will come in three varieties: Locked Crate of the Ren'gol, Locked Large Crate of the Ren'gol and Locked MASSIVE Crate of the Ren'gol. As the names imply, larger crates will offer you more and better loot and will have different platinum price points to unlock them.

Locked Crates of the Ren'gol
The normal crates are the most common and can drop in any zone in or after Ydra Forest content. They will cost 5 platinum to open and drop 1 item.

Locked Large Crates of the Ren'gol
The large crates are the second rarest and can drop in any elite zone in or after the Shuyal content. They can also be crafted from regular Locked Ren'gol Crates. They will cost 10 platinum to open and drop 2 items.

Locked Massive Crates of the Ren'gol
These are the rarest crates and will only drop from Elite Ren'gol content. They can also be crafted from Locked Large Crates. They will cost 15 platinum to open and will drop 3 items.

The Loot
The new locked crates will have new loot as well, including:

• New Legendary Gear Sets
• Mythic Armor and Belts
• Pets (including a new Arcane!)
• Elixirs
• Gold
• Platinum (up to 100!)
• Jewels
• Ankhs and Respec Scrolls
• Crate Tokens

Crate Tokens
Crate tokens are a brand new currency that you may have seen teased in the Public Test Server last week. Are you one of those who opened a thousand crates only to find yourself without that Arcane item you so desperately wanted? Now, crates will drop Crate Tokens which can be exchanged at the token vendor for extra rare items in game. So, no matter what, your crate opens will always add up to something.

So locked Crates will be replaced with Crates ....

So 1 Simply Crate will cost 5 Platinum to open and will Drop 1 Item, A Large Crate will cost 10 Platinum and will drop 2 items and a Massive Crate will cost 15 Platinum and will Drop 3 Items ....

Mmmm you guys realize that farm simply Crates will be way easier than any of those two left? Also what's the difference between A Large and a Massive? I mean 3 Simply Crates can do exactly the same job than a Massive WAY EASIER TO FARM!

Sorry but I don't see any way to farm Massive and Large Crates when I can easily farm simply Crates at Forest and Gold Mine.

Edit: Large and Massive need to have WAY better chances to loot an Arcane or Mythic Rarity .... Cause if they just have a "Small" chance in comparison with Simply Crate then they'll be "Pointless"

2nd and yay

The new tokens will be available for plat. only!!?? T_T

Wow
Didn't expect that coming.
Any plans on skill sistem? [emoji14]

Totally agree with this, those 5 plat crates will be cheaper than 10k after 1 month of expansion I can bet!

Remi said that crate tokens will also drop from gold rengol crates.

I guess the post could be slightly clearer (I'll update it in a moment), but you won't be able to find these crates in any Brackenridge area zone. Not to be confused with the zone specified called "Brackenridge".

Players will still farm Kraken Mines and other quick maps instead of opting for elite maps and the rarer crates instead of actually playing new content. I think in order for this system to work, there needs to be a discount in platinum cost.

Example:
- Locked Large Crates cost 5 Platinum to open
- Locked Massive Crates cost 10 Platinum to open

This way, there is some incentive to obtain the bigger and better crates. Everybody loves to save some platinum!


Additionally, crate tokens will drop for each and every crate opened? With platinum return granted per crate, this may crash the entire arcane market. I know with 1700 platinum, I am able to open 300+ locked crates. So, a shard would cost me roughly 750 crates if tokens drop at a 100% rate.


Just some potential issues I see!

how to find this crates??
When ne cap coming??

So I guess tokens via golden Orc chest will take centuries to farm since it's seems this was how the new token system was suppose to work all along. :(

Actually, you get 1 crate token for every corresponding drop from the crate. So, regular crates drop 1 token + an item, large crates drop 2 tokens + 2 items, and massive crates drop 3 tokens + 3 items. The "item", of course, could be gear, consumable, gold, plat, etc.

I hope that Crate Tokens aren't locked crate exclusive as that'd be ridiculous...

Can a dev confirm or otherwise if there will be a final 2 x loot chance for locks before the expansion hits to allow players who have an existing stock to put them to good use and stand a better chance of getting something from them.

Or is there going to be a way to use them when expansion arrives towards crafting the new crates ??

Names are too cumbersome.

Try "[Insert Adjective] Rengol Crates."

Opening the larger crates doesn't give any advantages. Opening 3 normal ren'gol lockeds is no different than opening a massive one.

Regardless of which crates I open I can get a shard for about 200 USD...

Wow!

This is just a personal opinion, but I think this needs to be looked into or else, many rare items will be seriously devalued. Perhaps, it should be a 50% chance to grant token? Or else, we will see a serious flooding of arcanes and other valuables in the market.

It should work as a reward system, agreed, but 1 token per drop may be just a tad bit too frequent.

Yes, this is what I am afraid of. It will turn the game completely to a pay2win sort of scenario. Previously, one could toss a lot of money into crates and come out empty-handed (something I've done in the past).

The token system is appreciated, but I think the 100% drop of tokens per drop is way too frequent and will devalue the entire market.

You're already gambling with opening lockeds, I personally wouldn't want to gamble with tokens. As the crates get bigger, we need them to have advantages. Maybe restricted loot i.e eliminating belts and new mythic armors in the normal locked ren'gol crate.

Sure, that's fine. Then I would raise the token cost for items like: shard, fossil, arcane eggs.

The values set in test server would mean that I can become instantly rich by dropping $200-300 on the game.

I don't think we should be able to craft the lockeds. Also restricting the arcane vendor to only sell arcane items from past expansions to keep the value of future arcane.items. The arcane egg market has already crashed and probably won't be revived anytime soon.

I think a crate from Ren'gol elites should have a chance to drop a token or tokens will definitely make this new scheme less p2w.

That's certainly fair as well. Vendor only gets to sell previous seasons arcane items.


The only crates that should give a guaranteed chance of tokens per drop should be the massive crates. The other, lesser crates of Rengol should have chances to drop tokens - not guarantees (also a way to get people to obtain massive crates without lowering the platinum cost).

That's a great idea but massive crates should still drop 3 tokens. Although then I'd like to see the massive crates obtained in another way other than elites.

If they went ahead with the crafting idea I'd like to see the recipe be of one time use and dropped from normal Ren'gol bosses and elite mobs.

200$ for an item isn't enough? Arcane market dropped with 400% in the last couple of months. I think we should be resonable here and try to understand that a lot of people lost money and few won. With this new system everyone will win and our investement in this game will worth it ! Farming will win. Everyone will be busy getting locks . Why isn't that great?

QUESTION: Will the rengol crates continue to grant current arcane & mythics items from the locked grand crates lootable?

For an arcane item $200 isn't a lot. $200 is 3400 which is around 220-250 lockeds (depending on how much extra plat is looted). I wouldn't expect to loot an arcane in 250 normal locked crates. 500 is more realistic but still not guarenteed.

This is excellent and I predicted it! It will be a great incentive for the average person to open crates to get at least what they want! The Arcane market is already out the window and making it more affordable and common to the average player will bring their prices back down from the heavens. Let's face it, 20-150m items in the game were only for the extreme rich! At least rings can come back down to earth closer to 5-15m where they should have been. A game fair for everyone is better than a game for the very few and I think this new system can do it! Even I as a non plat player am tempted in opening crates because there is a chance to get my ring instead of just hoping before.

I do hope that the large and massive crates have higher chances to loot the items, or else opening the regular crates would be much easier.

I think 1000 tokens would still cost closer to 1k or $500 on a plat sale and not $200

For a level 41 arcane ?

In other hand I am agreed with this new Token System, And I support the idea about every Rengol Locked ( Doesn't matter it's Rarity ) drop them with guaranteed of get them.

Why?

Cause in our actual market is almost impossible get a Shard or a Fossil without spend loads of Platinum, please don't tell me about " Farm Hard and eventually you'll get it ", I am talking in a farmer perspective ( I farmed Dragon Bar, Brezes, Plaranite Ingot, Recipe, Lockeds, Elite Gear) And I am FAR AWAY TO GET A SHARD, At the moment arcane eggs are cheap and now some people that dream about get an Arcane pet can get it.

Love or Hate it, Farm is the very heart of Arcane Legends, and with this new system we ( Hard Farmers ) will have a chance to get a Nekro, Toor or Ring with hard work and get a compensation for it.

What will happen to the so many remaining locked crates of watch

For shard (750):
3400 plats = around $200
750tokens/3tokens (per massive crate) = 250 massive crates
250*15plat = 3750 plat
On average I get around 400-600 extra plat drops from crates.

Somehow i understand people concerns about these tokens. It sucks for them who actually paid a lot of $ getting arcane shard/fossil. But even if tokens are going to be guaranteed or not arcane prices are going to have a lower value than now and 2 months months from now. It's actually how market is. Demand and supply !

Remi will we be given the chance to make new locked like ursume with the locked of watch

Iv always wondered why bosses drop such little gold. +1

After reading some post here I agree that at least with these changes the high price of the Arcane Shard could possibly drop to reasonable prices and average players such as myself will finally be able to afford one. Assuming it works out this way.

I'll still hold on to the hopes that tokens from Orc Chest will not be extremely rare, though I'm well aware of AL RNG chances..

What about a non plat user we cant get token?

I fail to see how guaranteeing purchases with high level items is a bad thing. Are not people already running rampant with arcane pets, nekros? To secure yourself an item of worth by dropping a formidable sum of money is what the game needs; shying away from the RNG and assuredly getting your money's worth.

These changes won't suddenly bring every non plat spender to the pay to win club so I don't foresee much more of a market crash than has already occurred.

Also, lock farming will be viable again. Can't see any downside here.
