Lockbox

Lockboxes are containers that drop randomly from foes throughout the game. They are also purchasable from the Wondrous Bazaar for 200. Lockboxes can only be opened with Enchanted Keys, which can be bought from the Zen Market. Lockboxes contain [Tarmalune Trade Bars] and various potential prizes, including mounts, companions, and artifacts. Whenever a player receives a major prize from a lockbox, a message is broadcast across the server announcing the prize.

Lockboxes received a major overhaul with the introduction of the [Dragon Cult Lockbox] on June 14, 2022. Lockboxes now have streak breakers which guarantee certain rewards after the player has opened a set number of boxes. Players are guaranteed to receive the major prize after 250 openings.

When a new type of lockbox is introduced, the previous type ceases to drop from foes, and is no longer purchasable from the Wondrous Bazaar. However, lockboxes that players have already collected are not removed, and can still be opened or traded.

Table of Lockboxes[]

please note that the dates here are for PC, consoles were out of sync with that probably until the Dragon Cult Lockbox?, getting (as far as I can tell, at least XBox?) most lockboxes eventually, but sometimes in completely different timelines

Lockbox Resurgence[]

A Lockbox Resurgence is a period of time during which retired lockboxes drop alongside the current lockbox.

2014-08-07	2014-08-14	Lockbox Resurgence Strikes Back

After that, the Glorious Resurgence Lockbox was introduced to do a similar thing, and returned 8 times (possibly 9, it may have also returned between Runic and Giant's, since it did between all other lockboxes from Firemane to New Opportunities) for short amount of times between lockboxes.

Since the Lockbox Changes in November 2018, the Glorious Resurgence Lockbox does not return anymore, instead the Magnificent Resurgence Lockbox (which presumably does mostly the same thing?) returns periodically in the Zen Market.

Astral Lockbox, Astral Casket, and Tarmalune Mystery Box[]

Astral Lockbox

The Astral Lockbox was introduced July 2020 and returns periodically since then. It is available in the Wonderous Bazar (you know, when it's available) and does not require keys to open.
[Limited Time Astral Lockbox!]

Astral Casket

I don't know what the deal is with that, rename of Astral Lockbox?, just similar to the Astral Lockbox but with different rewards?
New: Astral Casket

Tarmalune Mystery Box

The Tarmalune Mystery Box was introduced during the Summer Festival 2025. It was available from the Trade Bar Merchant and did not require keys to open.
