Glint Shop Update: Loot Chests
Many players missed the experience of opening loot chests and the excitement that came with it. You might've gotten potions, merits, and cards... and you might also have revealed a legendary gold foil or two, causing your kids, significant other, roommate, or neighbors to come running to find out what all the fuss was about when you started whooping and hollering.
We heard you. And we listened.
In the update on May 14th, 2024, we'll replace random draws with three levels of random loot chests in the Glint Shop: Minor, Major, and Ultimate.
The following table shows the chances of receiving each type of reward from each level of chest, the cost in Glint, and the max quantity per season before the price increases by 50%:
| Chest Type | Reward Card | Potions | Merits | Energy | Jackpot Prize | Cost (Glint) | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | 33% | 31.99% | 30% | 5% | 0.01% | 100 | 1,000 |
| Major | 33% | 30.90% | 26% | 10% | 0.10% | 500 | 500 |
| Ultimate | 33% | 26.00% | 20% | 20% | 1.00% | 2,500 | 100 |
Reward Cards
For chests that contain reward cards, the chances of receiving a card of each rarity and foil are listed below. Using a Legendary potion will double the chances of receiving both an Epic and Legendary card and an Alchemy potion will double the chances of receiving a Gold Foil card.
| Chest Type | Common | Rare | Epic | Legendary | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | 79.4% | 20% | 0.5% | 0.1% | 0.25% |
| Major | 76% | 20% | 3% | 1% | 0.75% |
| Ultimate | 68.8% | 20% | 8% | 3.2% | 4% |
The quantity of cards awarded by each chest type based on rarity and foil are shown below:
| Chest Type | C | R | E | L | C (G) | R (G) | E (G) | L (G) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1-1 | 1-1 | 1-1 | 1-1 | 1-1 | 1-1 | 1-1 | 1-1 |
| Major | 2-6 | 1-5 | 1-2 | 1-1 | 1-3 | 1-3 | 1-2 | 1-2 |
| Ultimte | 5-11 | 3-9 | 1-2 | 1-2 | 2-6 | 2-6 | 1-2 | 1-3 |
Potions
For chests that contain potions, there's a 50/50 chance they'll be Legendary or Alchemy, with the number of potions in each type of chest shown below:
| Chest Type | Min Potions | Max Potions |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1 | 1 |
| Major | 3 | 7 |
| Ultimate | 5 | 15 |
Merits
The minimum and maximum Merits by chest type is:
| Chest Type | Min Merits | Max Merits |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | 20 | 180 |
| Major | 250 | 750 |
| Ultimate | 1,000 | 3,000 |
Energy
The minimum and maximum Energy by chest type is:
| Chest Type | Min Energy | Max Energy |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1 | 1 |
| Major | 1 | 5 |
| Ultimate | 3 | 7 |
Rather than lose excess Energy awarded from chests, it's now possible to temporarily exceed the Energy cap. For example, if you have 50 Energy and you get an additional 3 Energy in a chest, your available Energy will be 53. However, your energy will not regenerate over time until you have less than 50.
Jackpot Prize
If a chest contains a jackpot prize, you'll randomly receive an item from the available prizes. The initial prizes are listed below, with more planned in the future.
Note that titles are rewarded from the supply found in the Glint Shop; if they sell out, they will no longer be available as Jackpot Prizes.
| Prize | Starting Qty |
|---|---|
| The Proven Title | 50 |
| The Veteran Title | 20 |
| The Renowned Title | 5 |
| PLOT Token | 500 |
| BETA Token | 1000 |
| Various GFL Cards | TBD |
