Nope i'm stubborn. I have a tendency to wait until the last day before using gold (if i even want to use gold)Quote:

Same here, usually cash open for #9 and then follow with gold for #10. Normally 120 gold max to get itQuote:

Looks like we are all waiting on the same thing. I thought that by now i would have 8 or 9 but GREE wanting to makeQuote:

Alright, so you are saying to open the first crate at an hour, then the second in an hour and 15 minutes etc. etc., or open them at the closest 15 min interval of the hour?Quote:

Just got my 8th. I'll be lucky to get 9 at the rate I'm going at
Yea thats the idea. Either do your reset but don't open until the new :15 mark....or open your crate every 1:15.Quote:

I seem to get a better chance halfway through the 15 min intervals instead of on it, hardly got one using that method you are talking about... hmmmmmm...Quote:

Which is the reason i think people pay Gold to open instead of just opening with cash and paying gold to reset timer.Quote:

But I did just open one the second I could, halfway though the interval and got my 8th Eiffel so I don't know if this is just lucky or a stratergy to do, so you would open at :07, :23 :37 or :53. So far it has worked with :07 and :53, someone else will have to try the others thoughQuote:

But one very general observation is while raiding hundreds of rivals I have only come across like 3-5 players possessing the 10th loot. Concluding Gree is not gonna give it any easy,cash or gold way !!!
Don't do it thief. I've personally spent 400 gold on day one within the first two hours to be stuck at nine, and since then have put in 3500 gold and received nothing but cash, helicopters, and valor. I'm still on 9 back to waiting it out for cash hits.Quote:

I know the probability of opening the 10th Crate is somewhere between 1-2% (Quote that dates back to the time of CJ).
Assuming that information still holds that means the average person needs to spend 3000 gold to get the 10th item. (as i'm going to assume it's really just over 1%) Obviously that doesn't garuntee you anything...just shows you what the average person needs to spend.
315 gold = 21 gold open took me right to 10/10. Best box event ever. Ever!
Congrats, when do u used your gold ? First day ?Quote:

I got 9 boxes open not one bit of gold purchased more than enough time to open the 10 box yall crazy spending real money on a game i hope none of u heavy gold purchasers ever go broke or come up on hard times cuz gree dont give refunds.
You obviously have little experience wirh those events. I know numerous people who tried the tenth box for days without getting it. Not saying its impossible without gold, just very very unlikely.Quote:

Actually i have opened up ten everytime except twice once was for the 30% percent off all construction and another time when the reward wasnt worth it. Medium chance or low chance only, got me to the top 10 in box events for over a year and some months.
It took me about 1300 gold to get 10. I figure if I bought all the LE units available right now, it would cost me 1415 gold, and the most I could get from that is 4478/2411 increase in stats (with rare unit). The final unit in this event gives me a 14000/11773 boost in stats plus 15% boost in air defense. That's not including the units for towers 3, 5, 7 and 9 as well as all the units, cash, and concrete from boxes that didn't have towers. To me it was well worth it. However, if I dropped 3k+ gold it'd be a little tougher to justify.
As an Insomniac and someone who always uses Cash opens who hadn't gotten 10 up until 6 months ago let me tell you that you have been very lucky. Generally i average 17-18 opens per day during the events and almost always got 9...but 10 would generally never be seen.Quote:

I have never gotten lucky in getting the 10th box in modern war. However in crime city and kingdom age I have gotten it a total of 4 times with cash option. No gold spent. It comes down to luck however you look at it.
I have done 10 before using no gold so it can be done.
I got it last night for free with cash or middle option all the way. i was like "YESSS!" is like i made the winning shot in last seconds of a basketball game..:cool: Priceless baby..! Zero gold spent..!:):D

On 9, all free
Hit 10 on Friday night on my main account and hit 10 on my LLP on Monday night!
Still no sign of 10th tower...m getting too much desperate now.
Can I say "this random pop chest event sucks"
I got 10. Did a few free video gold opens. Otherwise, just cash. Gotten all ten each time since Egypt.
5 on HLP, 9 on LLP, no gold, seems like lower the level, the better the luck, I'm earning gold to try to get 10th
Spent 45 gold to get to 10. I opened with cash at :00, then reset and gold opened. There it was. Made at least 40 attempts to get from 9 to 10.
Wooohooo....got it guys. Wow...it's a kicka$$ unit for sure. Me and my faction mate got it at same time almost....rare thing to get on last day though....best of luck for the rest. ...m outta here.
It surprises me to read through this thread and see so many people dropping thousands of gold on this event. This is the 4th consecutive Collect 10 event I've completed for free. Not sure if it's luck, patience or strategy. Either way, I'm happy with the results.
http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1379483795
Took me exactly 80 Cash Open attempts to get the 10th Eiffel Tower. Last event it took 91, so this event was bit more successful.
Must be nice homie, stuck on 9 for days...eehhQuote:
