I always pop elixirs but don't buy platinum. All it takes is a single locked and a luck lix is paid for (or in my case, one elite drop pays for 50hrs+ worth). As for opening crates, if you plan to join the super rich of this game you will have to at some point. Most likely you will get trash but if you happen to get lucky you gain millions in gear within minutes. Below is a list of the rough value of arcane drops (in millions of gold):
Eggs:
Hammerjaw: 6-7
Glacians: 7-8
Samael: 24
Singe: 9-12
Gear:
Maul of Ollerus(Warrior lvl31 weapon): 18-22
Ker'shal Scepter (Mage lvl36 weapon): 24-25
Arcane Shard (used to craft lvl41 arcane ring): 80+
-the arcane ring is worth 90+ once crafted
