I keep all my duds on my mule so I can give anecdotal evidence once I log on.
Edit: 16 nq, 3 +1, 0 +2
i got my 3rd +1 2 days ago. At the time my numbers were 13:2
Sortie Release - Info
Sortie Release - Info
I've gotten 1 Old Case +1 out of around 40 total non-bought cases.
[+]
The bought cases should frankly be +1 for their absurd cost. Would actually provide a much better incentive for doing Sortie if you could afford a +1 case every ~4 runs.
[+]
Just did a count from my mules. 2/48 +1 cases, so around 4~5% drop rate so far. Low sample size though.
I would like to think that buying a case should give a chance for a case +1 but I doubt SE is feeling that generous
[+]
I was going to ask if someone spent the 80k Gallimaufry to try it and see if its a typo , but too pricy to chance it (at least right now)
Case bought. It's NQ. The case stacked with another NQ Old Case that was in my inventory, so it's the same exact thing as if you were to get an NQ Old Case from a chest.

There better be a trade in feature coming.
What is this even from? Sortie +3 isn't until Dec...ish
My guess is all 4 bosses in one run unlocks new area. Once you enter on job you cleared on you can upgrade to +3.

OK we just had some bug where we got all #A chests but it didnt give us the Shard, however we got the Metal so we couldnt go to fight #A boss, even said 7/7 on #A objectives.
You probably got blue and brown on the same kill and opened one and forgot to open 2nd or just missed opening 1st brown completely.
I was in that run and they had to have all been opened since the #/7 count increase only triggers upon opening it, we went back to the area and there was no chest
This is FALSE. The count #/7 increases when chest spawns, not when you open it. Don't just make stuff up.

A new area will be added to sortie. To unlock a jobs upgrade to +3, you must reach the new area, it is not immediately accessible after entering
Whats the thoughts on this? 4 bosses unlocking the central elevator?

Up to 6 cases bought between mules/alts, all cost 80k, all were nq cases, and one nq case gave me a +1 earring case, I was extremely lucky.
Got old case +1 from Blue Casket #B1

They said it's 16 and there's only 15 in the picture. It's anybody's guess what the 16th will be.

The 16th one is obviously the shield. The shield is one of the few featured in the official TVR artwork and it was shown with the rest during the TVR cutscene that first mentioned them in game.

SE has referred to prime weapons specifically as "weapons, instrument and shield" in previous announcements. Whether or not it will be size appropriate with +skill? That's the real question....
Super hyped for my Primal Bow quiver to feed my Gandiva.

I killed more than 3 Bhune elementals in under 30 seconds from aggro without seeing the blue chest, so something else must be required in addition to quick kills.
Maybe it's something like 30 seconds from the death of a previous Bhune mob?

Using MNK or SAM self skillchain on umbrils we always get the blue chest.
One time we took sch + 2 blms and a smn - did sch self sch and 2 blm + smn MB - killed in well under 30 seconds in single SC each time (was careful not to magic agro before the skillchain) and no blue chest this way. I think a real weaponskill must be involved somehow to get the blue chest.

So my group only has 2 real dd's (nin/sam), originally I was doing sanguine/Savage on Elementals and we weren't getting blue prob because of magic aggro, since switching to hybrids and skill chaining between chi-teki-chi I've been regularly getting blue withing 3-4 kills on umbrils while Sam is doing his own thing in Elementals. Like 3 minutes to get shard/blue/metal. Idk if it's skillchaining that's doing it, or possibly killing them with the skillchain but every umbril I fight is dead before voke is back off of CD.
