Pretty sad that this is still a point for discussion. The fact that there’s still people who haven’t got a box to drop and there’s been no attempts by Funcom to remedy that says a lot about the state of the game. Have the prices dropped on the museum items at least? Or has it reached a point where no one really bothers running the mission so the supply is still low?

Take a wild guess lol
They need to make the peculiar box tradeable. That will solve the mess.

Prices dropped a lot from were it started but supply in general is relatively low.
Tank commander is somewhere around 200k, cell around 50k. With around 2ish on the market every time I looked.
Right yesterday I finally got my 3rd box from a blue dungeon chest, it was something like 3 months from my last drop.
It’s been about two and a half months since I deleted my box and I’ve not seen another one on any of my characters since.
You mean like me? I have played daily since the debut of that box. I have seen none of them. never. So far none of my characters have had a nibble on that mission. I have frankly given up on it; I consider it the same as the Shocking steps sprint: it is something that happens to other people.
Because I found myself wasting an hour every day trying to kill the Tank Commander without making any progress.

What kind of playing ? The best drop rate AFAIK is from blue chests, dungeon, regionals and lair.
It is already rare that way, in order of maybe 1% drop chanche. If you arte trying to get one from green bags the odds are much lower. I have only heard of one confirmed drop from green bags so far.
I also see "you can only carry one “PecuLIAR Box” many times, probably seen it more than 10 times now since it was active.
I play dungeons, so can confirm they seem to have better rates in the blue chests then gathering sadbags.
(from what i see mentioned, also, i have not had one from any green bag)
I really do think it should be made tradeable - not everyone wants to do dungeons and Funcom know that not everyone likes to play all the things available to do in game, (unless they are so disillusioned they really think everyone does all the things) so this box is becoming so limited it forces you to have to do something you may not enjoy just to get it.
For someone who only plays solo or through the story content and would like to fight the tank commander - but can’t coz they have to do a dungeon (or 10) just to get the box is stupid.
I mean, I have it - and will NEVER use it, i have no interest in the Museum, but others do. So why should it not be a tradeable item.
I would like to GIVE MINE AWAY - To @Onevia or someone who has been looking for a long time too.
I remember the outcry that happened when they added PVP to the list of daily challenges to complete in order to gain all of your daily marks. It was not nice for either PVPers to encounter non pvpers who would either not participate in PVP or would cry about being killed and at the same time it was not nice for those who didn’t like PVP to have to actually go there to get it done.
So, this RNG on a “Limited carry” item that has better chances of dropping in a limited place - is just absurd.
I definitely got my box from green bag from regular mission or side mission. It was right after mission release. I stopped playing soon after that.

Why put in caches?!!! I’d say we are entitled to a mission that grants the box. In lieu of any kind of 2nd Anniversary lead dev letter.
Thanks till now the only answer i got from where should i be looking was “in the game. it drops in all the zones and dungeons”. You are the first one to suggest it comes from dungeons, regionals and lairs. so in otherwords unless you are spending time in dungeons and lairs you will never see it? guess i better buy on ah. Thanks.,
Mine came from a glyph bag in New Dawn.
Various people have reported better drop rates from regional, lair and dungeon chests. It can however drop from any weapon, talisman or glyph reward bag (I believe excluding Kingsmouth rewards, but don’t know if that’s been confirmed).
I’ve got mine from a side mission in Kaidan and a sabotage (yellow) mission in Carpathian Fangs, so you don’t have to run dungeons/lairs/group content, it just seems that you’ll have a better chance if you do.
Like with Aeryl, I got mine from random questing. I forget which region, and from what I think I’ve heard, it can possibly drop from any zone?
I got like 3 from open world questing, 1 from shambala bag (of all things) and one from dungeons.
Which is no indicator for droprates since I do way more open world missions than dungeons.
As far as I now any green bag does the trick (KM not sure) and blue chests (Definitly dungeons not sure about others but than again…blue chests are always nice)
Edit: make that 6 total.
All four of mine have come from blue dungeon chests. None from regional chests or item reward bags. I know other players who have gotten in excess of 30 boxes so far, mostly from grinding dungeons every day.
Maybe a silly question but how often do you guys get blue regional chests? I usually see about 1 in 20 in the summoning group but today I was leeching a Long-Toothed and we were getting much closer to the 1 in 7 of dungeons, I think 7 total in 39 tries. Still no peculiar boxes though.
It varies for me…I think I once had three blue chests in a row and than nothing for 20-30 others. Still more reliable than other stuff.
SWL RNG is famous for being feast or famine.
