Crystal boxes/gold boxes

[Hamish_bf 2]

Hey all, just wondering how do crystal/gold boxes spawn. I hear talk about them all the time, and i've seen many forum posts/youtube videos on collecting crystal boxes and how it's a fast way to get crystals. Yet I haven't seen any in my career of tankionline. If anyone could tell me how these things spawn in, or if you have to be a certain rank/gametype or whatever it'd be greatly appreciated.

Crystal boxes are gone. Developpers removed them from the game.

 

Gold boxes are rare, you will see more when you'll rank up.

Crystal boxes may be gone but here is a hilarious topic about them.

    The gold box is a box that falls from the sky with a parachute (like all other supplies), but it does so very rarely - the probability of it dropping is 1/7000 for every crystal added to the battle fund. It looks like a supply box, but looks golden, has rounded corners and 1000 written on it. Before it drops you'll hear a siren and the text "The gold box will be dropped soon" appears. After that you have 20 seconds to find the sign on the ground that shows you where the gold will drop, which can be in many places on the map (even on the bases). The gold box will drop, everyone will rush to the spot and a lucky player will catch the box.

    I saw this good example to help you understand this in another topic: Every time the battle fund increases by 1 crystal, it's as if a roulette has been spun with 7000 slots, one of which makes the gold box drop. So if you capture a flag and 10 crystals are added to the fund, the battle had a 10/7000 chance of a gold box dropping. Since the battle fund increases faster in battles with higher ranks, the gold box will drop more often, so you'll see those boxes more and more as you progress through the ranks. 

    There is no specific fund at which the gold box falls more often, since it's a random chance. In theory you should have one gold box for every 7000 crystals of battle fund, but in reality I've seen 3 gold boxes fall in 5 minutes when the fund was below 500 or no boxes at all when the fund was 30000. The gold box can even fall after the battle ends in which case no-one will get it :(

 

You can read all about the gold box on this wiki page

 

    The crystal boxes used to be in the game for a very long time. They were basically small bonuses that dropped on the map like supply boxes and when picked up they added 10 crystals to your account. They were removed because people would sabotage the battle by riding around collecting the boxes and not helping their team.
