    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"

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

    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!

    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.
