...the rewards from a master lockbox comparable to that of a master chest?

    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.

    I had a similar thought...but anything is better than a single green treasure...

    Still don't understand why anyone would farm chests/lootboxes ever, master or otherwise.

    there are achievements associated with lootboxes, and benefits to Legerdemain and your purse along the way. convenient and fun for thief-types

    You can get the Shivering Cheese out of lockboxes, but I'm not sure if the difficulty of their locks have anything to do with the chances.

    Master chests run off of an entirely different loot RNG system than the lockboxes do. The lockboxes have to be balanced against the fact that they are basically providing money to the players, whereas the master chests are providing gear, much of which has little value.

    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.

    So...they are as rare as master chests...and as stated above...slightly more "dangerous". also stated above...PC players don't seem to use them (as I never see anyone opening them but me) so it could bring them back...or you know, remove them to help with lag.
