• This lockbox, and future lockboxes, will display drop rates in the tooltip.
  
• Removed the innate Drifter Salvage granted in this lockbox. In its place, added new Booster Box VI as an innate item to the Scarlet Scarab Lockbox. This item grants the salvage that opening a lockbox previously granted.
  
• The Costume Box that can be obtained in this lockbox innately grants a Lockbox Costume Token upon opening in addition to a costume item.
  
• The Aura Box that can be obtained in this lockbox innately grants a Lockbox Aura Token upon opening in addition to an aura item.
  
• These tokens will be shared with all future lockboxes. As a note, we will be looking into adding a way of transferring them using the account bank.
  
• Costume and Aura tokens can be used at the Lockbox Store located at the Lockbox Vendor. You can exchange these tokens for bound versions of featured lockbox costume items (they still unlock on your account, they just cannot be traded), or account bound versions of featured lockbox aura items.
  
• Known issue: The exchange store is not currently locking out purchase of already owned costumes. This will be addressed next week.
