I finally had a chance to look at the spreadsheet and I am nearly 100% certain that the Brilliance Brocade Robes and the Helstrom Ancestor Lizard are the same versions of the items retired in May 2016, not exclusive for this crate. Not that it changes the percentages significantly enough to be helpful or makes me dislike the whole crate concept any less.

Thank you @Slurg I'll look into it. Like I said I very well could have made typo's. originally I forgot to check the Shornhelm dog off as a past item even though it was (I even have it), so definitely possible

It's quite impressive what you've done, especially with all those items clogging up the loot table! I really hope your thread will get some attention and better yet some answers regarding whether this really is what was intended.

Thanks, it was pretty tedious to do which is why I wanted people to double check it for me as I obviously made some mistakes. You were correct on both parts (and I think I might own that lizard- lol) so I've updated the sheet and numbers in the post. Right now we are sitting at 33% past items which falls in line with them choosing to give about 1/3 gems for a duplicate. If you have the time, any more double checking on the sheet would be appreciated. I'm really concerned I may have actually missed items that are available as 55 collectibles and a 72 item total seem like off numbers to have. @Slurg

I found another list of current and retired items here: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Crown_Store. I think everything else looks correct but looking at the list of things I'll probably never have the opportunity to purchase made me too sad so I had to close it.

I didn't receive anything in my test crates on PTS that wasn't on your list. I'm reluctant to do more testing because I don't want it to be misinterpreted by ZOS "hard data" experts as interest in actually buying these crates for real. Do not want!

Saw the second video today. So much disappointment. Absolutely nothing worth what you spent.

Right @Cazzy ?? To be honest I'm kinda happy I'm getting a ton of junk I don't want. Makes it easier on me to know they ARE as bad as I thought, and to not purchase them. After 10400 crowns spent I was given 0 legendary's or apex rewards. Heck I even already own quite a few of the legendary rewards!

I saw they datamined goats. I really hope they don't put the goats in the crates, it's cruel.

Have you seen anything mentioned about what is exclusive or not? I haven't.

Other than the first post saying it should have "crate purchases" or whatever nothing's been said. So I'm assuming that's the answer? Quite a bit as it turns out if so....

As I said in another post; If they drop the crap potions and add:

1. XP scrolls
2. Respec scroll
3. Riding training
4. Vamp/Werewolf
5. or any of the actual useful stuff

Then maybe.....

All drinks potions and food should be removed from the loot table I played a game that had gachapon basically a crown crate and they were 1 $ each and 80% of what you got were pitiful potions ruined any sense of the purchase.
Exp scrolls riding lesson upgrades are fine but remove the potions food poisons they are as useless a crown item as they are a useless drop in crates

Well everyone, it look like some of the feedback and issues with crown crates is being heard by Zos as per this https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/comment/3384769#Comment_3384769 post by Gina. Unfortunately our calls to have it clearly defined on what IS and what it NOT an exclusive item to these gambling crates was not heard and we are still left in the dark, set to only assume the worst.
