Hello everyone,
As part of my new player experience (started in August) I made the decision to open 1,000 of each seasonal strongbox. Verified the openings from inventory on EU website and collated in excel. Each set was opened separately, ex: I opened all the Christmas boxes before starting on the summer ones. This process took place on different days, across a month, all being opened on the same day chosen, except for the Easter boxes, which was spaced out. I am not trying to 'break the code' on best times to open, I am merely sharing what I opened from each box set, so anyone new or otherwise interested in doing the same or similar has some baseline of what to expect (your miles may vary, obviously)

Dont think that when you open matters since the content is created when the boxes dropped but that just my opinion

Gotten 2 seasonals rings and recently a rare token here in around 2500 keys here

Doesn't the recent "Could not execute" box drama indicate that time of opening is at least a factor?
 
Edited to include totals in original post rather than linking off site
 
It's interesting where you lost 8ped in TT? 😁
You should always get back 10ped TT from box.
Overall I evaluate it as quite good/normal.
 
Sell all withdrawal do it again. Then you’re winning.

Thanks for sharing

You won't if you get pets or pet naming trinkets. Been that way for a while.

He's lucky it was only 8ped.

No nice ring is always feels bad, we always expect to get a shiny ring when opening lot of boxes.
But the result overall is fine. Pills itself about covers all the box mu's, rings, amps, mayhem tokens and skill pills are bonus.

Also it is strange the boxes drops again 10mg pills.

That's been proven false hundreds of times since the wave base system began.


OP sorry to see your loot sucked =/

Thanks - yeah it was pretty disheartening for me. Was told by a few people beforehand, I would 'definitely' hit something with that many, so went into it with the expectation that I would get some ring of value (1k+). Have better expectations for the future now, if I ever decide to do that again.

What was the mythic pet that you got out of interest?

Eudoracell! Pets are definitely interesting. At some point I'm going to a need a Dhampyre.... for.... reasons. ;)

I share the same reason. 😁

Have opened my share of boxes too and can confirm this is pretty good outcome and in line with what to expect.

This is the thing i hate the game most for.

People creating false image what to expect well maybe not creating but supporting the "could be".

Like it or not it is meh*

Glad to see you learned something out of it tho!

Best of luck! 👍

Well, you can get a ring from 1 box, happened once, one of my favourite story.

Halloween Ring 2019

https://www.reddit.com/r/entropiauniverse/comments/go9xcw/noob_gets_halloween_ring_2019_on_first_box/ First halloween box ever opened... I'm hooked.

Unfortunately the screenshot is lost over the time, but as you would expect a f2p player opened his first ever box, guy naked, sweat tool equipped, ped card at 0.XX ped, something like this as i remember, but it was long time ago :)

Im at 1 seasonal ring and 1 rare token in 25k boxes.
 
Thankyou for the data, so appears that 1 ring drops on 1000 openings.

So if we look at number of rings looted on a particular day, would this equate to how many thousands of boxes opened that day I wonder? :)

You can have few rings opening 100-200 boxes, all depends are you doing it when there is loot wave or not.
Many people get 3-4 rings withing few minutes.
Here is an example

Before migration i opened 5k boxes and got around 20 rings from it

A box is merely a token that initiates the loot creation, it doesn't contain anything. A box from 5 years ago isn't different in any way from a freshly looted one of the same season. If you say have an Xmas box from 2022 it could drop the 2022 seasonal ring up until xmas 2023 season when the ring got replaced, and now you could loot only the new 2023 ring from it, and so on, which was demonstrated plenty of times.
 
I will say that I'm curious to see just how far the ammo and pills take me, but my guess is the starter pack ammo refill is a better path as I wouldn't have lost ~6k ped TT of ammo.

Without external factors changing, I have absolutely zero intention, interest, or impulse to buy box keys again.

Which is strange to me, because your results are good, just not as good as your hyped up expectations was.

After all you invsted like 1250p on box mu, got back the 1250p just from pills, and around 1000p more mu from amps, rings, mayhem tokens. Sure you not received as much skill pills as you would get from 4k usd starter packs, but you still got a lot of skill pills too.
Less universal ammo is no issue. The more universal ammo you got the more 1% from shrapnel conversion you missed out.

I would open as many boxes as i could with break even after box mu and withdraw fees, if the rings would actually worth to be looted. Currently all rings are trash in the boxes.

Side note, you can convert your pills that you may consider useless, into ammo too (Neurostims B/C/Y/Y2/maybe even Easter Eggs) youve got almost 2k PEDs of ammo in it.
Just drop the pill stack into your refiner tool.

Oh yes, that is a very usefull information for newbies, i used to forget it is not a basic information everybody have as newbie, this should be in the tutorial too, somewhere between the WASD buttons and leave rookie chat.
 
Not great but not bad. But these results are the reality for the majority of us. Just certain people seem to get lucky on rings and rare tokens from boxes. In fact, 4000 boxes I'd be lucky to see 2 crappy aeglic rings. I've tried jumping on so called waves sooooo many times and it doesn't work for me.
 
well I bought over 10k classified boxes I never had any ring from them. It's quite shameful for me, but i had 5 rings in 2021 so i consider myself ultra lucky, my choice, my lost.

Lost? You cant loose on classified boxes, those are free.
Any mu is extra there, even if that is NeuroA only if no rings.
