Has anyone ever gotten any of the apex rewards ever?

I've never really bought crown crates, but I gave it a shot. I bought 15, cause I wanted that shadow senche thing that apparently, you cannot buy, but just have to "get".

Yeah, 15 crates and I got nothing cool. It really is like gambling, but honestly, it's a pretty crappy system.. just let me buy what I want.

    They will never make radiant apex rewards for sale; Radiant apex rewards are money maker. Some people will keep buying crates to get them..

    Radiant I've had the Cinder Wolf from the free ones.

    Normal apex I've had:-
    2x Lightning Horse (from my first ever pack of 15 which made me think rates were much better than they were)
    1x Dwemer Senche

    I normally buy one pack of 15 each season if they have enough items I would like in them. I skipped the nature ones as I only wanted the Daedra banner from them and had enough gems for that.

    Here's the collected drop rate data for past (and current) crates via people who used the associated addon:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n1kdrywYmgjx290QwGJj9TT1Y8z4GfEMhvQ8kQnKL5g

    In the last round of crates, 0.24% was the "chance per crate" to get 1 Radiant Apex mount (out of a sample of 13,000+ crates).

    Got the lightning bear from a 4 pack.
    Got a wild hunt horse,wolf and guar from a 4 pack.
    Nothing since....
    But then again they only get my eso+ crowns when there is nothing else interesting on the store that month.

    Have never got a radiant drop but until they bringet out something daedric I'm good. I'm not fussed about the models so far.

    I got the Wild Hunt Senche back when they had those crates return briefly. Other than that, quite a few legendary items.

    I've never known anyone who got a Radiant Apex, which is a shame. I wish there was a way to buy those with gems, but I guess they would lose the cool factor.

    I got the Flame Atronach Horse and Flame Atronach Senche from the last crates. (Includeing free crates I opened 39 of them) Sadly, I like them less than most of my regular mounts.

    The only ones I have won directly from crates (not bought with gems) are:

    1) Storm Atro Guar
    2) Wild Hunt Bear, Wild Hunt Wolf
    3) Wasn't playing mid-to-late 2017 so missed the Dwarven and Halloween(?) crates
    4) Fire Atro Guar, Radiant Apex Night Frost Atronach Horse

    My typical buying pattern is a 15 pack a couple times a season, usually with leftover Crowns from subscriptions or after a Crown sale, after I buy cosmetics, houses, etc.

    I got a Dwarven Guar mount from the free Dwarven crates. I don't buy crates, though, so I guess I was pretty lucky to get one in some of the free crates.

    I've managed to pull several of the non-apex mounts, but they were all ones I had purchased outright previously. They give 33 gems, so I've managed to save up over 200 gems from just free crates.

    I've bought about 30 crates over all cycles, plus free crates from each promotion.

    I've gotten the storm atro senche, skeletal guar, and flame guar.

    Skeletal guar is the only one I use regularly. Atro senche looks horrible, flame guar is cool (the ram's horns are awesome) but a bit much. The skeletal guar is adorable.

    I’ve gotten a couple over time, but from the free crates only. I bought one 4 pack and got all junk when I first started playing and I decided after that to never buy them again. Stick to the free ones, it’s better that way

    Got my first apex mount this round, the frostbane bear. My favorite after the senche (pure due to bouncy animation of the bear) this round, so pretty good.
    Never gotten a radiant apex one, then again I haven't opened that many crates yet, so that would have been extremely lucky as their drop rate seems to hoover between "once in a blue moon" and "when pigs fly".

    I really really wanted one of those 3 special mounts. I wished for the senche most but ok I wouldn't make a fuss if it was the wolf or horse. I bought a total of 60 crates plus the 3 free ones and not one mount. I got tattoos, clothing, pets and some other stuff but not 1 mount.

    So I gave up. In the past I often got a mount when I bought crates, now I really badly wanted the one and I bought a *** load and nothing. Although I never realised how low the drop rate was though. I must always been lucky and then I didn't even really wanted what they dropped.
    Funny that if you want something you don't get it lol

    I had 2 with free crates last year. I never used one since I don't like it very much. Every time I bought 15 crates I never had anything interesting, really.

    I had the Wild Hunt Senche drop.

    Also snagged an Adamant Dwemmer Horse.

    The senche is great, the horse is meh.

    Even so that's damn good luck at what's normally a 2%(ish) drop chance.

    True, plus I re-read the original post, and they didn't specify Radiant :#

    I have bought a 15 pack for each crate season since they were introduced and I also received all of the free crown crates ever available. Let's see:

    Storm Atronach: 15
    Wild Hunt: 15
    Dwarven: 15 + 6 I think.
    Reapers: 15 + 3 I think.
    Flame Atronach: 15 + 3 I think.
    Scalecaller: 15 + 3 I think.

    So roughly 105 crown crates opened. I received my FIRST EVER apex mount last night (I won't complain that it's a camel which was the one I least wanted too :'( ).

    So for worst case scenario if I bought each crown crate individually at 400 crowns that would be 42,000 crowns. If I purchased crowns at the lowest rate of 750 for $7.99 it would have cost me $447.44 of real cash to have received one apex mount. :sweat:

    I can't even imagine the Powerball lottery luck it would take for a legendary apex mount.
