Amazing and very much needed update. I'm allergic to iron and I'm very glad it's getting replaced with titanium!
This update will surely enlarge the playerbase and bring more money to OOO!

So after so much anticipation
So after so much anticipation and much patience from the SK player base here we have it, TITANIUM PRIZE BOXES!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this addition for years. I mean, this will surely make me do so much pve just so I would get these boxes. It's not like I never get iron lockboxes in the spinning wheel.
I really like this addition though because it did add what everyone was waiting for and you know didn't bring out something everyone would hate(*cough*gunner update*cough*new content*cought*).
Keep up the good work guys!!
(if you didn't catch the sarcasm, this entire post is full of it)

Those are totally ugly and disgusting. Only fools would dare to sell them over 50kcr.
Yeah.
They should only be worth like 40k at most.
Yeah.

ooooh, slime promotion...
You know, while I understand that the devs need to make some dosh, I'm sorta upset that the slime armor are just costumes and not new armor that anybody can get. However, I'm more concerned about the shield/weapon. Does anyone know their stats yet?

I'm really hoping the swords are related to the Troika line, since I missed out on cleavers...

RE: Regarding Slimes
To: Spiral HQ
From: Gfjmember
Subject: RE: The Slime Family of Monsters
Dear Spiral HQ. Thank-you for your memo dated 2014-07-02. Whilst many knights should by now know not to eat slime like monsters, due in part to their foul flavour (see http://threepanelsoul.com/2011/06/07/on-survival/ ) it is always good to hear some advice from command. However, I would maintain that, solely from personal experience in the field, the vast majority of cases are not due to knights voluntarily ingesting slime family monsters, partially because these monsters rapidly dissolve into an unsalvageable goop once they are defeated. As I am sure you know, many of the creatures of the slime family attack by body-slamming. As such, it is inevitable that eventually some quantity of their body mass ends up being involuntarily ingested.
This is once again showing how out of touch HQ has become with knights in the field.
Instead of giving patronising advice on not eating slime family monsters, I kindly suggest you instead give information or equipment for the purposes of avoiding involuntary digestion of slime. Even more so, it has been some time since we have received any updates on repairs of the Skylark, or the attempts to breech the core. Would you kindly release an update on the status of either of those projects?
Sincerely, Gfjmember.
P.S. I have been occasionally feeding my battle sprite gel drops. May I continue with this behaviour, or is it also advised against?

riddle me this batman
why are the tendril icons for inventory slots displayed as lower back accessories
but they'll still remove wings if you equip them in that slot
i mean i understand why it's like that (so you can bypass the fact that most jelly armors don't have back slots available)
but why not just retroactively update the jelly armors to allow for upper back slots
this just seems like a metric %*(#ton of confusion waiting to happen

So since a few new accessories have been found in Titanium Lockboxes so far (Munitions Pack, Headlamp, Rebreather) I assume it's safe to post pictures of all of them.
Munitions Pack
Vial Bandolier (available in Curse/Stun/Shock/Fire/Freeze/Poison/Sleep flavors, this one in particular is Curse)
Headlamp
Rebreather
Also if anyone's curious and is not near a computer right now/in general can't check themselves at the moment, the Node Slime Wall is a reskin of the Ironmight Plate Shield, and the Node Slime Crusher is a reskin of Sudaruska.

Hey, you gotta pay CE for the keys so you can unlock those boxes! It's better than actual exclusive gear considering that. Plus, I'm digging the munitions pack.

Hmm
Vial Bandolier or Bomb Bandolier? Which would look better with Toasty Node Slime Guards?

@Gkku Note these might not
@Gkku
"Note these might not all be available from the Titanium Lockbox."
They are not. Only the pack, lamp, rebreather and bandolier should be available in this box (along with the typical "blanks" and a chance for a shadow key).

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
N-woo!
Just kidding.
This promo is awesome looking. Reminds me of Tenno somehow.
I wish that my SK computer didn't have a hard drive failure. For the last few days, I've been spending my every waking moment getting it running again.
Also, the Titanium Boxes are interesting.

@Spiral-Spy:
Right-o. I assumed the boosters had been found in Titanium Lockboxes because I'd seen a screenshot of someone having both on their armor and it wasn't very clear where else they could have come from. I guess they just modified the files to make it look like they had those accessories.

How did you get the odds on your site?

@Fehzor
"How did you get the odds on your site?"
The same way everyone does, I suppose: I employ an infinite number of monkies, but instead of giving them a typewriter, I let em play with dice. We simply live in a universe where they come up with the correct odds. Now, you may find that hard to believe, but it actually happens in quite a lot of universes. Personally, I'd rather have the monkies from universe #83432312434213. They come up with the numbers for powerball lottery.

So i got the first day a titanium lockbox and then decide to open it because i though would get something different than a crappy barrel belly or headband or maid headband. and what i get on my first try? another crappy barrel belly!!
if titanium lockboxes contain the 80% of the same accesories as lockbox. then for me dont worth another try to open them, when i saw they added titanium lockbox, My first though was "oh then we get another lockbox which probably drop rate its kinda low but you have a sure chance to get something nice instead a headband" and then there we would have: Iron Lockbox, Mirrored lockbox, and for this month titanium lockbox, but not.
titanium lockbox it just a ridiculous excuse to "make people" buy Silver key, because in the end you are opening the same iron lockbox with 2 or 3 new accesories inside of it which you probably wont get on your first try and would need to open 10 or even 20 to get at least 1 of the new accesories. then again OOO implemented bad this system, if they would want to make people buy more silver keys, why not then keep the iron lockbox, add the rare boxes some every pair of months, with the same rate of a mirrored lockbox, and sure chance to get a new accesory?. but not
well thats IMHO

So you made them up then? You either did that, or have access to some form of data. I'm unsure of how you could have access to said data, as the prize boxes likely only exist serverside where you couldn't possibly get to them.. I'll drop it. Like everything else.

@Sweet-hope
Not quite. Titanium Lockboxes are a variation of the iron ones. You can get accessories (mostly) or a shadow key (rarely) from them. If you get a shadow key, it was worth buying the silverkey as shadow keys are roughly twice as valuable as silver ones. If you roll an accessory, you got roughly a 50:50 chance of either getting an old or a new one. That's actually a good thing, because you kinda want to have blanks in the raffle (you just don't want to draw them yourself).
It's actually a genuis thing by OOO to replace the iron lockbox with the titanium one (and probalby some other metal the next month) as currently the AH is flooded with iron no one wants.

Please fix the Munitions
Please fix the Munitions Pack. It sits much too high. I want to get one, but it clips with my hood :(
It really should be closer to the center of the back and not the shoulders.

@GFJ
In particular, a new weapon to destroy all trace of slimes even existing. I was thinking something along the lines of a heavy Shadow sword that has a very good chance to inflict strong fire on hit and has dmg bonus vs slime: Maximum!.
