If you want to get it up to a 99% success chance you'd need to buy 459 gambling boxes. And there's no way to get a 100% success rate, just smaller and smaller chances of failure.
Also friendly reminder that there are no guarantees that they won't change the drop rates as they see fit, have no obligation to disclose the drop rates legally, and we have no way to validate alleged drop data.
Also friendly reminder that we don't even know if these use RNG at all, or to what extent, or if it changes moment to moment.
Also friendly announcement that I have evidence suggesting that some people have higher chances of getting the rare mounts than others, and will post the screenshot on request (names removed of course).
Yes, I would like to see that and the reason why.
I don't have the reason why, didn't want to ask, figured it would expose too many details about the claimant. They definitely had it all, though.

I'm not a fan of the crates, but that.. doesn't really say anything, IMO. Could be anything from being a secret billionaire to being insanely lucky to being Rich in disguise. "Because reasons" isn't really a convincing argument for either camp...

Soul-Shriven Ragged Clothing (blue)
5 Crown Invisibility Potions
Crown Lesson: Riding Stamina (green)
So as I suspected, all trash.
Also:
25 Crown Lethal Poisons = 1 Gem
5 Crown Potions = 1 gem
1 Riding lesson = 1 gem
What a trash system. Glad I only bought two. Will never buy another.
Not trying to fight with you on this. But it was 2 crates.....
Once again, I am not a fan of this system, but would you be saying something else if you got everything you wanted?? Its an RNG gambling crate... not a trash system... its gambling..

I got like 20 crown gems out of it; I don't want to effectively spend 7500 crowns for my pit wolf. Sigh.
I agree, but they won't because it would turn into a gold exchange and cut into sales.Prof_Bawbag wrote: »rhapsodious wrote: »Oh, and I put my data in the spreadsheet but here's what I got, buying 4 crates for funsies: http://imgur.com/a/JJAtL

I wish we were allowed to gift (it really should be an option). I loathe the wolf mounts and I got the wolf mount in my first four. Was more than happy with my ice mare.

It's not looking too good on the spreadsheet yet, as nobody who has received any has contributed to itThe drop rates for astro mounts are actually okay. Ty for sharing guys!

As usual, people that want to give negative feedback are much more vocal active than positive feedback.
No, but looking around the forum I have the perception that most of people are getting 1 astro mount for every 15 crates. Thats pretty okay. Tho don't really mind me, my perception is biased and based purely in the comments that I'm actually reading.

Results are very disappointing.
