Buying lockboxes w/ Resources

[Zhaocore]

It really is random =/.

The ONLY orange i ever got was my first t3 lockbox...previously i bought 3 t4s and only 1 purple rest blues/greens.

I will continually buy t3s now though.

Wrong, a dev stated explicity that T4 has a higher chance for orange items than lower tiers.

It'd be nice if we were told ingame with some sort of subtext, all we got was "at least uncommon rarity" which says shtako about what it gives.
But cheers for the info.

Right, that only makes sense.

I just wonder how much higher the odds are from T3 to T4. As it stands it seems wiser to get multiple T3's instead of one T4.

Nice, just found a thread that has exactly what I was looking for.

Looks like T3 makes more sense currently.

Found 2 Legendaries in 1 T4 and another before, bought around 15-20 T4

He said it was supposed to have a higher chance but he would have to check

[Archellion]

Right, that's what I meant. Resources are used to buy the Keycodes which in turn with Scrip are used to purchase the lockboxes. Check. Resources to mod weapons. Check. Anything else?

I wouldn't spend salvage on keycodes. You get plenty of those from doing the little side events (i.e. rescuing E-Reps or squashing hellbugs on the highways.) So far, at EGO 524, I can only hold 75 keycodes, so I just dump them into lockboxes when I get close to full. There doesn't seem to be any other use for them at the moment.

I'm holding on to the gulanite for weapon modding.

No correct, if you factor total number of keys spend compaired to a 1 to 1 box ratio. Do the math both ways and you will see. Tier 3 is a bit better if you do the math with number of keys spent to orange items formula and that is what we are all trying to do here.

For the cost of 2 tier 4 lock boxes you can buy 5 tier 3 boxes. Even if the odds are better per box for the tier 4 it's not better when you have 2 vs. 5.

Math is a great thing!
