In what way is this "rigged"?

Managed to get the 5th necklace. Will try to go for 10 but it's unlikely.

Before I would get to the 8th crate, box what have you and get BLNT. But now struggling to get 5th open albeit using cash only. Not a gold spender.

That doesn't answer the question.

Although technically you could call any event where the %'s are set by the company running it "rigged", that really doesn't mean anything.

The opening rate is the only unknown variable. As far as we are concerned everything is done by a random generator, but the odds to get necklaces are available to us.

7: 30.21% (29 out of 96)
8: 30.21% (29 out of 96)
9+: 30.21% (29 out of 96).

I estimate the opening rate for "fair chance" to be around 40% - 45%

Here is a simulation that used an open rate of 40% and a player with level 168

Code:

Box opened: Lockbox token #1 gained! Box opened: Lockbox token #2 gained! FAIL! Box opened: Lockbox token #3 gained! Box opened: Lockbox token #4 gained! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Lockbox token #5 gained! FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Lockbox token #6 gained! FAIL! Box opened: Lockbox token #7 gained!

Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Lockbox token #12 gained! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Lockbox token #13 gained! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Lockbox token #14 gained! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Lockbox token #15 gained! FAIL! Box opened: Lockbox token #16 gained! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Lockbox token #17 gained! Box opened: Lockbox token #18 gained! FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! Box opened: Other reward found... FAIL! FAIL! Box opened: Lockbox token #19 gained! Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Other reward found... Box opened: Lockbox token #20 gained! Total boxes opened: 46 Total attempts: 106 Total cost: 772800 Process completed.

You can see that there's a lot more fails that successes, but during that time you have much better odds of getting the items than in a collect 10 event. You don't need as many opens to get to the 20th item. In the collect 10 event I opened about 75 boxes and still didn't get the final prize, and this is double the items and half the opens needed.

That's an open rate of 30%, and even then it only takes about a week. That's only 3 days of overtime. You wouldn't even miss the next event. None of this "rigged" nonsense because it's really possible to do this.

1. you can open just one case / hour, but you can find more then 1 case at hour?

Because i did 5 jobs and found a case, opened it and got a jewel, but there, I was looking for another case, did more than 50 jobs, and no cases ....

Do jobs with high Xp pay out, that seems to always give a case... For me at least... Hope that works for u!

The item rate for jobs with over 400 energy per tap is around 90% drop rate. Just fight players, you'll be getting a drop rate of about 3 for every 5 or so fights.

dont give up

Three days left my friend.stay focused.

I have no luck in this Event :(
First try I got a necklace, and now 11!! trys with Money and i dont get anything :((

Finally got to 10 necklaces and the explosive. Time to bail out I think.

5 opens in a row using cash only - 4x small cash, 1x big cash
i think i'd rather keep getting blnt's, at least this way I wouldn't gain exp finding boxes

blnts whole day wat the heck:(

Stuck on 6 necklaces...all cash opens...going for 10. One thing that I hate is spending 19k to open the box and winning 10k. Gree should update their prizes, make it worthwhile to open them.
