Do not buy tier 4 lockboxes! Buy tier 3 instead!

[Newsin]

I believe there are named and unamed legendary items. Unamed out of the Tier 3 lock boxes and Named out of the Tier4. I believe I have seen named ones come out of the Tier4 but have yet to get one out of Tier3.

People who are actually qualified to test things like this know about sample sizes. They do not test 5 of each box and expect anything other than a random result.

A sample size of 5? Imagine doubling that and reducing the potential outcome from the various combinations of rarities and items to just 2 potential outcomes... i.e. the coin toss.

10 coin tosses wouldn't even be enough to get a reliable 50/50 rate of heads vs. tails.

If you can't get reliable data with twice the volume of data and significantly less variables, how can you expect to judge the lockboxes based on just 5 tries?

You cannot possibly think that the entire loot table can be accurately summed up in a 4 word hint - "drops atleast uncommon rarity". I am sure with enough boxes even a level 1 box is capable of producing a very rare and powerful item, but the chance of it happening is going to be much smaller than that of a higher tier box.

That said I can agree with the OP that for now going with tier 3 boxes is probably a better idea, though for different reasons. I would say that as we are all relatively new in the game that we would do better having a wider choice of pretty good items from T3 boxes and more likely get something items worth using and modding, than gambling on far fewer T4 boxes in the hope of finding some excellent item, which itself may become inferior in 100 EGO time.

Travie, I do not say duh to you, I say duh to everyone else. Why on earth would their be higher lock boxes if they didn't have a better chance for loot? Seriously, one does not have to be a mathologist

Im at 750 now and I still only get trash from them tbh.

I've bought two!!! They've been great.. One paid one arkfall code.. One to support devs cause I like the game and I want my settings key to work without it crashing.. 2. because they made it so I can buy it without having to pay real money....

Just a correction, this comment is incorrect. Please see my post below for the correct info.

Thanks

Well there you go. Thanks Athelan.

Well I'm now at 502 ego and can confirm that there is no link between ego level and quality of weapons, from a couple of T4 lockboxes I'm only getting green's and blues, not even with synergy buffs... it's all just luck I guess

[CrypticApathy]

is tier 4 the highest?
