Crates are the gamble. You spend a key, you get something from the pool, and the better crates hold gear you cannot buy at any price. Keys are physical items — they sit in your inventory, so you must be online to receive one and you can lose them if you die carelessly.
The main ladder
| Crate | Roughly |
|---|---|
| Common | Everyday gear and materials. The starting rung. |
| Rare | Better tools, useful enchants. |
| Epic | Strong gear worth keeping. |
| Mythical | The top of the ordinary ladder. |
Common, Rare, Epic and Mythical, plus the Vote Crate, also hold Shards, the currency that buys spawners in /shop spawners. The better the crate, the more Shards it pays. Each of those five crates has a second page of prizes: Shards, money, claim blocks, keys, spawners, Safari Nets, fly time and a Shard Generator (Level 1 from Vote and Common, Level 2 from Rare, Level 3 from Epic, Level 4 from Mythical). Every prize name starts with a symbol that says what kind of prize it is.

How to get keys
Be online when a key is delivered. Because keys are real items, a purchase cannot be handed to an offline player.
