Here's something worth necroing the thread for: a former guildy of mine "Tyranis-Vex" on Jung Ma just got the crate from the final boss of HM Kaon Under Siege. Lucky nerf herder.

 

Indeed. Interesting!

i just got the box out of the tionese vendor boxes

So I was fiddling around with the crate-o-matic I got yesterday, and it doesn't seem like it has much practical use.

 

1. You can't use it during combat.

 

2. Outside of combat, you can't move around in the crate (though, as I read somewhere else, you can change your outfit while inside).

 

3. The crate does not shield you from damage. Nor does it apply any stealth mechanic as far as I can tell.

 

4. If you hop into the crate, send your companion at mobs, and your companion dies - the mobs will target you even if you're in the crate.

 

5. If you hop into the crate, and a patrol passes by, the patrol will attack you.

 

6. Using any abilities while inside the crate will immediately pop you out of the crate.

 

I do have to say though, that it is rather hilarious to be in front of a GTN terminal with a bunch of people nearby and just pop into a crate.

 

Also, a note - even though the item tag still says "Binds on Equip" in my inventory, I can not sell it on the GTN. Haven't tried mailing or trading it yet though (I am kind of afraid of losing it).

 

edit: fiddled around some more

 

you can use it for this

Just got one on ToFN for 17 mil... I am mad at my GM who urged me to do it now xD

I just got this to drop from a blue "Ancient Prototype Mission Box" received from a Treasure Hunting mission.

I am so spamming the crap out of Treasure Hunting now

I've been running TH missions for over 6 months....I have yet, to find one

 

BUT, I did finally see my 1st Crate-O-Matic in person a few days ago......I'd buy that sucker in a heartbeat!

 

You know someone on POT5 that has one for sale - you let me know, I'll pay handsomely for it! THAT - is my ultimate collector's toy.......

It would be soooooo much better though if it didn't have your name bar above it

Like 100M+ ?

I am paying 150million for crate just hit me up on po5

Wish you were on ToFN... No, you'd wish you were on ToFN. Two crate-o-matics were up on gnt for the past two weeks for 15m-17m. I bought the latter today after being urged to do so by my GM... -_- I hope to find an enthusiast like yourself and sell it for profit. I don't really like it!

 

I can honestly say I've achieved everything in this game now. xd

I've seen on drop on Ajunta Pall/Jung Ma. That's about it.

 

The lucky assassin who won the roll got it from the final Kaon boss. Given how many people do that boss/day I'm guessing it's more of a "any 50 npc has a 1/1,000,000,000 chance to drop the crate."

Ok, so its rare. I can remember a time when the magenta crystal and +10 datacron were not so common knowledge, but hasn't enough time gone by? For those who possess one, have you not had your fill of exclusivity? Isn't it time one of you breaks the silence? We will love you for it!

 

Saw it on gtn for 20 million once

 

Georg Zoeller said there were 2 in 1.8b drops or something and I highly doubt 1.8b of those boxes have been opened.

 

 

Ah same odds as a Throne mount from a gambling box then.

Guildie had one drop from a mob in LI HM. So it seems to be a super rare level 50 drop which can be found in world or through the level 50 item boxes.

why did you have to bring this up, they will add it to the Cartel Market now! Great!

oh no! :/

I actually got my crate for 1 million off the GTN. Of course, any others have been selling for 90 million and up so I just got really lucky @-@ I love it so.

 

But yeah, it is supposedly the rarest drop in the game despite the various ways to get one.

just saw one for 21,000,000 on my server yeasterday.

That thing is pretty great.

 

How long until it's in the Cartel Market, festively-low-class re-design included?

Its 36 million credits on jedi Covenant now.

That'd be a good thing.

I got one a looooong time ago from a crit on a slicing mission or from a purple planetary box. I cant remember. I didn't even realize its rare. Its been sitting in my bank since I got it. Saw 3 on jedi covenant for about 35 mil. If they sell for that much then I might sell it.

I was lucky enough to buy mine for 17 million the other day. Still considering it the best deal I ever made on this game.

I've been hunting for a czerka crate drop for nearly a year now.few clues. I hear one will drop from random trash mobs in Illum(what exact mobs drop i dont know,I read that a talz may drop one) anyone with clues,please chime in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LAd there is absolutely NO POINT in looking for it. It will show up on it's own... :/ Looting it borders a miracle.
