Its good to confirm it can be epic - though we know the item itself can upgrade and that items can upgrade from containers, so it was pretty likely that it could.
The real big (and still unanswered) question is if it can scale to 19.

I am farming this and am wondering if you mailed your 19 rogues boxes to a higher rogue to unlock and sent back, or unlocked via consumables or trade window on the 19. Specifically in the instance where you looted the assassin blade.
Its some real manual labor unlocking boxes 1 by 1 via trade but that’s what I’m doing for now till I know more

unlock on high lvl, open on low lvl is the tech afaik

So it should be safe to actually trade / mail them and mass unlock you’re saying? Sorry just making sure. I’d check the twitch op linked but it seemed to be inactive when I tried. The vod of it isn’t there anymore which I had watched around when he posted it

I mass unlock them on my 101 rogue, then just send them over to my lvl 19, easy peasy
and open them on my lvl 19 ofc, boxes stay unlocked through mail[doublepost=1564268907,1564268425][/doublepost]Been very inactive, since i started playing Rust again

so idk if this is known or not, but dont bother opening boxes on PTR in an attempt to test without farming. i got the same items 4 times in a row opening 250 (some shitty level 17 ring). same box each time. same stat weight. idk
Big brain edit:
So you could maybe open all of your boxes you farm on PTR first, and then if you get BVB, you can keep trying to proc epic, or test scaling i guess, then you go back to live ready to open your BVB

That's still 250 more "tests" than you would've gotten otherwise... but yeah, no "redo's". The question now becomes: "Would you get those same items if you then open them on retail?"!

yep i edited post i think it could be interesting. opening the boxes on live now expecting to get the same ring i gotThat's still 250 more "tests" than you would've gotten otherwise... but yeah, no "redo's".

[doublepost=1564435031,1564434565][/doublepost]Okay opened them on live. each test on ptr and the final on live gave the same amount of green gems, and the same ring, always in the same CRATE. the amount of greys was MAYBE different, because my gems and ring sometimes ended up in dif spots in bags.
last "easy" thing to test will be to get a box with a ring in it, by testing boxes on PTR, then save that box for a large PTR patch or in game patch and see if the loot changes

Dude! We've now demonstrated that it's possible to "peek" inside the crates before opening them! How cool is that? Now we just need to figure-out if there's a way to "re-randomize" them... Mail? Delete/restore? Server transfer? Who knows?
Nice work!
I suppose that if a crate is pre-defined as "just something shitty", then there could still be a bit of randomness in that particular result.

I used this method of checking if items could drop as epic for a while, but the page/s seem/s to have disappeared now.

Does anyone have an up to date link to the area of the battle.net site (EU pref but US is fine) where items reside please?
