How much are Lockboxes worth?[edit]

This information is likely inaccurate — it has not been reviewed or updated since Summer 2012.

Since lockboxes aren't tradeable, what we really want to know are how much are Ministerial Commendations worth, since you can buy and sell those.

  • 22Platinum 600Gold / Zaishen Strongbox.png → 2Platinum 500Gold / Ministerial Commendation.png if the current mini drop rate holds.
  • 10Platinum 800Gold / Zaishen Strongbox.png → 1Platinum 200Gold / Ministerial Commendation.png if minis drop at a rate closer to that of other gift-like boxes.

Data[edit]

Caveats[edit]

  • The data on the wiki is sparse.
    • I suspect overreporting by those who have found minis because their drop rate is much higher than for other gift-like items.
    • The value of the boxes is very sensitive to the mini drop rate.
  • Most of these items are hard to find in Kamadan and the markets haven't stabilized; I expect the value of the items will drop from those I have posted.
