By the way I am boycotting "lucky" boxes until they remove chance items like auger/ear sets from them.

Yeah can't see why they just don't have slotted ears as a lvl A reward.

Not even sure what the rate/chance was for slotting them. If it's below 50% it's a ripoff.

No one wants the ears in period, there are enough to go around to get slotted ears, putting slotted ears in A would still get people mad lol.

You shouldn't speak for everyone because I know I don't have a pair.

Perhaps A rank would be to much but certainly B would be ok. I would really love a pair myself honestly.

[TatakaiRyu]

I sure don't speak for everyone, I'm just speaking for the majority of the people who actually buy the boxes. Also, look at the market. Ears have been in it long enough, they have been in the raffles (and it wasn't popular there either, gee, I wonder why) just because you don't have a pair doesn't mean it's hard to get. There are tons of people selling them too, how much would you like to bet if there was a poll, the HUGE majority would NOT want that crap in it. Not to mention you can't even vend it.

To stay on topic

1x 2 MCA (vagabond and chimera cards fml)
1x 8 HE Battle manual
1x 8 HE Bubblegum
2x rations
2x Auger sets
3x Slot ads
2x Twin Ribbons
2x MVP boxes

In my experience from the last two events, it's about a 15% chance of success. I attempted quite a few.

The part I find most ironic about the whole thing, and it shows just how much iRO has gone from a nice, decently structured game where the GMs cared and actually understood the community's feelings, to something much less respectable, is that two years ago Heim and co were all like "Slotted sunnies should have never been in game, blah blah blah, mid slot was never supposed to exist yada yada."

Now it's more like "Whatever makes us a buck."

1500 KPs = 5 Bunny Boxes

Class B
1x 8 HE Battle Manuals

Class C
1x Lunatic Hat
1x Power of Thor

Class D
1x Slotting Advertisement
1x MVP Hunting Box

Gonna get more if Heim decides to put in Gramma Boxter next maintenance, hopefully he'll change his mind about this.

[StyxNL]

2 more boxes

8 HEBM
Princess Knife

[AtlasThunderbeef]

I normaly spend hundreds on boxes, and matching on kafra items monthly.

This time I'm not buying any, they need to find new ways to earn money.
These boxes with these items are a rip-off.

Standing tall with you this time Azzy. They're not getting our money with this .

The pattern is so far I can see roughly like this:

Class A
12% chance, get MCA 75% chance
Class B
16% chance, get HE 75% chance
Class C
32% chance get Auger or HD 75% chance
Class D
40% chance, get Buffs or Rations 75%

Yes, I have to agree with you.
It's average noth worth the $.

I deeply regret to buy 48 boxes.
I just want to get A Ninja Scroll but got a despair.
I've got 2 Princess Knives, 4 MVP Hunting Boxes and hundred of Buff scrolls and other junks that I don't need.
GRANDMA BOXTER COME BACK !!

[ABK1986]

I'm always too excited opening them and being sad when I get garbage to record what I got I'll try again next time Azzy ;-p

[spornax]

3 Boxes:

1x Rations
1x Slotting ad
1000x Medals

Aw. Same happened to me. I wanted a ninja scroll, bought about 75 boxes, didn't get it.

[Miaa]

5 Boxes:

Moon Rabbit hat x1
Thor hat x1
Twin ribbons x1
Buff scrolls x2

[Bloodtemptation]

From like 100 Lucky boxes:

3 Ninja scrolls
10 Mystical Card Albums
3 Party packs
1 Princess sword
and 0 price medals.

So lets say around 17% chance to get a Rank A item.
I was aiming to get some price medals but after spending 300$ I think it's better just to buy 500 HE BM's instead.

[Miaa]

Annoyed with these crappy boxes, the percent chance seems to be terribly screwed towards crappy recycled headgears everyone who wanted one, already had.

10 more boxes:

3 moon rabit hats
2 thor hats
3 buff scrolls
1 he bm
1 slot ad

Really hope grandma comes back this week during maint, theres no reason AT ALL anyone needs 5+ of the same damn headgear. Not to mention Heim lied, he said eveything in the boxes were tradeable, well the Thor for one, isnt. So im stuck with 4 of them at the moment >.>

iirc, the currently non-tradeable things are twin ribbons, thor headgear, HD ores, & rations.

[EvilLoynis]

Wow I see by the notes in the patch client that they have given in to the Boycott and decided to put in a Boxter this Thursday. I am kind of sad as I wanted a PKnife and now it's going to go back up in price

[DrAzzy]

Sigh...

Boxter on a box event that gives MCAs? Are they insane?

[Heimdallr]

Miaa before you call me a liar how about you read everything I stated about the subject. Thors, Rations and Twin ribbons were going to be made tradable this Thursday. But with the Thors being in the Boxter, it will remain acct bound until the boxter leaves.

I find it especially frustrating when I do what I said we planned on doing "I'm not listening to the community" but when I change the plan based on feedback "I'm caving in to demands". Someone please post the roadmap to the happy middle ground that seems lacking here.

I think the issue is that you guys say everything is going to be made tradeable once they're implemented (aka this past Thursday), and then it turns out that 25% of the items weren't actually made tradeable. Seems to happen a lot. It just looks unprofessional.

Edit: quote during Maint.

All the items are vendable, so if you don't want them, vend them, or upgrade them.

Hats were always the problem in Lucky Boxes, they're just too common. I think I have a inventory full of Shark Hats and Snowman Hats that are utterly worthless. It's nice to be able to trade them in so that there isn't so many just gathering dust.

[EvilLoynis]

Thors would probably been better as a Mid Head Gear. I am not sure why Gravity goes insane with all the Upper Headgears all the time. Yes I know there are elven ears/Sunnies but really they are the exception to the rule. It's just that the Thors is so under powered it is pretty worthless.


I also think that the Magic Rabbit hats could have been better. Least they could have done is have the rabbit be smart about which bolt casts. for instance when fighting an Earth monster it's really annoying to see a Lightning Bolt go off on one of the VERY VERY VERY Rare triggers. Not going to complain to much though as it was basically free.

Yes, thats the post i was referring too, at the time i made that post, i hadnt read the other one about which and what was going to be in the boxter, at the time i made that post, i didnt even realise that plans for the boxter had been put in place.
