Locked grand crates question

[Valsacar]

Most mythic and arcane items come ONLY from locked crates. They have always been there.

If you decided to open them using 15 plats, you will have a chance to get them. Not a big chance though and you may have to spend a lot of plats before you can get one.

Quit lying to people.

Mythics, all types, come from crates as well as either elite gold pirate (helm) or elite gold war (all others). The exception are weapons, which are limited items and currently drop from NO WHERE. This weekend they will come back, in crates and elite gold war chests.

Arcane weapons drop from both crates and chests (same two, hooks in the pirate one).

Drop rate is basically the same in chests and crates, with one difference. Chests get 3 chances to get one, crates only have one chance. That is changing (permanently) this weekend when crates change to work like chests (no more guaranteed pinks, 3 shots at everything). The only advantage plat users get is the fact that other players sell crates cheaper than elite gold chests (because they are easier to farm).

There is NO SUCH THING as old crates and new crates. They don't pack each crate, by hand, when they drop. When you open a crate (or chest for that matter, or kill a boss, etc) the game does some random rolls and decides what you get. Let me say that again, WHEN YOU OPEN THE CRATE/CHEST. So if you have 20 crates right now, you will not get any mythic weapons out of those. If you open those SAME 20 crates after the update (before it goes away) you will have a chance to get mythic weapons out of them.

Thank you clarifying this. I am sure OP would appreciate the added info.

However, you should read a post carefully before accusing someone of lying.

I never claimed that all mythics and arcanes come only from crates.
