Starry Studio provided an update on the Lightforge Loot Crate that's available in Once Human. For those not familiar, these are time-limited items with players needing what's known as "lightforge Ingot" to open them. Once opened, it contains either a Lightforge Gem or cosmetic item.

In particular, buying and opening of a Loot Crate needs one Lightforge Ingot, which is valued at 160 Crystgin. The first 10 purchases of Lightforge Ingots within the Loot Crate gives players a half-price discount on Crystgin. Players can open the Loot Crate for a maximum of 9999 times.

New Token

The studio went on to say that the Loot Crate is set to introduce a new token Lightforge Gem. This comes with specific guaranteed rules which are:

  • Every 20 openings guarantees one "Lightforge Gem".
  • The guaranteed count resets when players obtain a Lightforge Ingot and players can obtain the next within a maximum of 20 times.
  • There is no limit to the number of Lightforge Gem that can be drawn and players can also spend Lightforge Relics to redeem Lightforge Gem at Shop.


The Shop

The Shop offers cosmetic items from different Lightforge Loot Crates along with Lightforge Gems, Lightforge Ingots, and Colorful Badges. Each Cosmetic item can only be redeemed once and is removed from shop if players you obatin it from the Loot Crate. Those who draw a Lightforge Collection that's already owned have all Lightforge Relics spent to redeem this item refunded.

Probability Announcement

For the period January 3 to January 30, the Loot Crate item drop rates are:

  • Lightforge Gem: 7.00%
  • Legendary Lightforge Collection (Gold): 0.40%
  • Epic Lightforge Collection (Purple): 0.60%
