Actually master lockbox should have BETTER rewards than a master chest. There's more risk involved with those. Only thing I have to worry about with a master chest is some *** trying to steal it from me.

Or to provide specifics, with the Treasure Hunter passive, master chests provide one random purple piece of set gear and 2 blue gear pieces. If the master lockboxes were comparable, every master lockbox would contain items worth approx. 2000 gold.
