    I just showed that some pretty cool stuff can fall out of crates in the open world. I don't run after every box. On the way, I just open it when I spot the chest. Of such gains, it falls to me about 10-15%. No, it's not a prize from a thousand chests. It was only a few days (about 30 boxes). I have attached this post with photos to show you so as not to miss crates in the open world. Of course, on the level of the heroic world, It matters.

    @Category - It was a semi-joke.
    But yeah, based on what Ociwap says above, that's lucky compared to my case. In 300 hours play in end-game, I got ONE item that was good enough to bring it to max stats with little intervention.
    After a while I stopped looking for those crates, opening only if I run into them.

    They're lottery tickets, plus Mats for Optimization. I always figured I had a 1% shot at something well rolled, and a .1% shot at something I'd actually keep.
