BobaScott Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Best bet is to search for threads about this thing. Here is one. Find the people who claim to have it and ask them directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediCahlwyn Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 There are more than two in the game. On The Shadowlands there were four on the GTN (for an insane 45-75 MIL but hey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obirayy Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ahk. Well no one has them on Master dar'nala server and last year I was reading that there was only 2 out of however many billion loots. But thanks for the update though, now it could be easier to get than I thought. Also is there anyone who you can ask on your server to transfer it over?

Rolesium Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have one on my character Kaon on The Bastion server. You could make a character here and I'll demo it to you if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah kaon, I remember speaking to you once when I made a lowbie on bastion. You're the rich guy who crafts the purple crystals. Ill definitely take you up on that offer but it would be even awesome if you transfered it to the PTS and gave me a turn :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one on the GTN sometime last year, just after the ability to swap 25 Tionese crystals for artifact boxes came in. From memory a pub player had listed it for 10m and I was tempted to buy it, though when I went to check a couple of days later it was no longer there. I assume somebody else snapped it up or they changed their mind about selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I own a crate-o-matic. I paid only ten million and it's worth so much more. I'd transfer it but i am having issues with failed copies. Edited February 28, 2013 by Alec_Fortescue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevarr Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I just found one in Section X the other day. I didn't even know it existed until the achievement popped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milandur Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Crate-O-Matics are certainly rare, but not so rare that there's only 2 across all servers. That number (2 drops in 1.85 billion rolls) came from a dev post early last year, and there's certainly been a lot more rolls since then. The drop rate for Crate-O-Matics may seem insanely low, but the thing to consider is that anything that can drop a level 50 Artifact item can drop a Crate. I know somebody who vendored their Crate because they thought it was a random junk drop from some trash they fought while doing dailies. I also imagine that Crates are a lot more common on PvE servers than PvP servers. PvP doesn't offer loot drops at all, while every single enemy you fight while doing dailies has a minute but equal chance of dropping a Crate. If I had to make a rough estimate, I'd say that Crates drop at the rate of about once or twice a month on The Harbinger. I know at least 3 people with Crates, and there were two GTN listings last time I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGreggy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Got mine from a random Tionese crystal box on Shadowlands. I did a Directive 7 run on my juggernaut and popped it while we were waiting at the shuttle drop-off for the 2nd dps to load in. He saw the crate and asked "has that box always been there?" about 2s before the buff ran out and I reappeared. His reaction was priceless and it's impossible for me to use it in a guild run now without someone repeating "has that box always been there?". Would never, ever part with it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
