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.

Event Boxes

The Tymora's Gift, Coins of Waukeen and Challenge of the Gods events feature boxes that drop from random enemies but do not require Enchanted Keys to open. These are [Gift of Tymora], [Waukeen's Coin Purse] and [Gift of the Gods] respectively. The Waukeen's Coin Purses can be traded for [Waukeen's Strongbox] and [Waukeen's Treasure Chest], which are also categorized as lockboxes, but also do not require keys.
