About the Xanmeer Crates

So every crate season I buy 30 Crates (except the Halloween ones cause there really isn’t a point). This season however I have had the worst drops I’ve ever seen. Out of 35 Crates I got 4 extra cards all purple items, all things I already had. I got the drum collectable EVERY SINGLE IF NOT EVERY OTHER DROP. Not once did I get any of the gold items, only purple items I got were the 4 bonus cards the rest were all blue and no apex rewards. Granted I wanted the lizard guar mount but I also would have been happy with the voriplasm weapon styles and the skins or at that point literally any of the legendary rewards (except exp scrolls) but I got junk every single time for $80. I’m really confused if this was just my rng that was particularly awful this time or if other people are experiencing similar rng with these Crates.

    I open 90 and got lizard horse, mechanical spider thing, all voriplasm weapons, most if not all the pets and the frog drum thing, two costumes as well i believe.

    Edit: These were all bought through the gifting system not through the IRL shop. Don't think that matters, but want to add in case it does

    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    I usually open 30 every season as well, occasionally 45. This season I think I opened 60-75. Drop rates for me were horrific in comparison to previous seasons. Most were bought on the account I opened them with, but 15 were gifted to my main account by my second account. I did not get all the things I wanted out of all those crates. I even had to buy the skin I wanted, neither dropped. I did get the apex lizard senche out of my gifted crates though.

    You might want to look at this, because Zenimax refuses to publish the odds as they should considering crown crates are basically gambling:

    They are gambling as you are paying money for a random item..

    They will continue to adjust the drop rates until they start making less money than the previous crate. So don't expect the odds to get better anytime soon.

    I opened 62 crates and got 2 mounts and they were the exact same spider one :P

    I bought 15 crates and got a bunch of tattoos and that nix ox fabricant spider thing, the terodacytl (my spelling this early will be bad) pet, and the sabre sblack senche pet (which is probably what I wanted most other than the chilled radiant apex and the black sabre senche mount).

    It was a pretty disappointing turn about, oh I got one of those flowers too and some exp scrolls.

    I am always annoyed that the return on gems per item is like 33% rather than like 50% or 75% so blah to that. In any case, that's all.

    I bought the sabre mount for 100 gems.

    No intent to buy more of these, did notice these Xanmeer seem to have placed the motifs up as legendary rather than blue or purple like Psijic had.

    My friend gifted me a xanmeer crate and from that one crate I got a potion, poison, an outfit (I forget which one), a mimic stone, and a cliff strider pet.

    I doubt RNG has changed from previous seasons.

    For xanmeer, I bought 45 crates. 150$ worth since i love the theme. By the end I managed to get all blue, all purple besides feather hat, both skins, all gold stuff besides voriplasm, firepot spider, clockwork nix ox. I got two of each murkmire plant. I also had the Lizard senche mount drop TWICE

    Which kinda irked me that a repeat apex only gave like 130 gems but they cost 400 gems...

    I bought three of the 4 packs of the xanmeer crates (as I typically do every season) and got mostly junk - potions and stuff almost exclusively from the 16 crown gem tier... The only top tier things I pulled out from those 12 crates was a booger staff (which wasn't a huge win for my own personal tastes) and a couple of grand Gold Coast Experience Scrolls. Cashed in what I could for crown gems and bought the few things I wanted that I could afford. Then a week or so later, on a lark, a friend bought me one crate for a christmas gift. Out of that single crate I got two gold legendary cards - the Lustrous nix-ox mount (which is the mount I most wanted in this season's crates) and a Grand Gold Coast Experience scroll - which I promptly traded in for gems. So yeah RNG is a funny thing *Shrugs*

    It would be gambling if you pay for boxes and you could get nothing. As long you receive something, the debate about this will last forever.

    Great news. Now I can open a casino anywhere in the US as long as I give everyone a penny for making a bet!

    No, but you can open a Carnival. They've been practicing loot crates by converting your money to tickets and handing you a big stuffed animal nix-hound when you win. It's not new.

    I just bought a crate but the khajiit didnt show me any cards to click. He still took my crowns though. Is this a new bug?
