true, I was just asking if more areas to be covered for more players. already seeing players with more than 2K tokens just hunting boxes.
For future events like this, smaller (and possibly more varied?) rewards and many more boxes would be welcome.
I really liked the strong bravery, GF token, etc. extra prizes idea posted in another thread. And then like 4-5x the current spawn rate.
It would be about the same number of anniversary tokens as the current event, just more things to find.
2 hours grind time. Executed at the slowest time of the day, in my experience. Saw maybe 2-3 players total & subsequently switched channels. Searched the following zones across two channels each:
IoD
Val Aureum (Chebika & Tulufan area)
Dragonfall (eastern half of Sylvanoth)
Mistmoor Island
Total boxes acquired: 4(10 tokes ea.)
In the early days of the Blue Box event, I would grind in some of these zones and easily find 6-8 in 15-30 min. I don't know if they have reduced the drop rate overall or if they have changed the fashion in which they spawn from previous events. Either way... IMHO a total waste of time, unless RNGesus favors you. I may try once more to see if my "luck" changes.

@Spacecats As I said before in another post Tera is huge. It has somewhere close to 45 different teritories and some of them have up to 7-9 channels. When you say ''When a box is destroyed by a player, another will randomly spawn somewhere in an open world area. In any channel.'', do you understand how vast this 'somewhere' is? How many hours it would take to search them all? And is this area mountains too? Because you only excluded cities.And since clearing an area from boxes means this area won't get any other box until someone kills another box 'somewhere' else, this makes people that don't know the area is cleaned, search in vain. This model is so wrong and impractical. You may get 50-60 tokens in an hour and then nothing for the rest of the day. If this was for some big, hard to get item to make VM9 for example it would be understandable. But this is an event for fun, and people don't have fun. We ve been saying since day 1 for the box event, lower the drops 2-3 times and raise the spawn 2-3 times. Or add other rewards to water down the amount of tokens.
Can we get an answer to this @Spacecats ?
How much is quite often for you.
When there are people that has opened near the 100 boxes and some get no more than 10 each and others get... nothing?
It is flawed by design if a person that got 100 boxes end up with less than one that opened 20.
Highwatch is the exception, actually. It's the only city where blue boxes have a chance to spawn, but it's pretty freakin rare so it's funny to see that someone got a screenshot of it right away
A finite number would mean that once they're destroyed, no more would spawn. There's an infinite amount of blue boxes since the moment one's destroyed another is created.
Thanks for the blue boxes tho, made it fun.

Right, and somehow boxes are more likely to respawn around Elenea (wyrmgorge,
sienna canyon, tor) just so randomly. SO randomly.
I got 3 total, a friend got 10
I've gotten 4 and my bf has gotten 0. He's mad AF >.>;
Check these Areas more:
Frontera: Both area
Highwatch: Arx Ambura, Savage Reach
Elenea: all 3 areas.
Weaker than others but, Dragonfall: Has some ups and downs, I saw Amena got some possibilities
Hopefully on Tuesday we get some better spawn so everyone get some. Good luck
May I ask what server you're on? I have a feeling you're on a low populated server in comparison.
Edit: I ask because the areas you mentioned are the areas I've been camping. I'm still fighting to find a good amount.
If couldn't find anything in 10 mins changing area or channel fast. Something like this, I don't go off road much.
