Right now, you’re probably looking at that statement like this: That’s nuts!”Įxcept…it isn’t nuts…and it’s not without cause. That seems…weird, right? Why sell bonus gamble items to players when they’re still part of the Lockbox weapon-based bonus items (Weapon Packs for a while have had a low chance of dropping a Vanity Shield themed to the ship release of that Lockbox)?Īnd then you look at that 280,000 Dilithium price and go, “WHOAH! That’s 35 days of Dilithium refining on a single character. Good day, and welcome to another Joe and STO! Earlier this week, we learned that most of the Lockbox-rewarded Vanity Shields will become available to players in the Dilithium Store for 280,000 Dilithium each for a week starting with the launch of the Summer Event.

When not running, consider this piece to be a look back at the first sale period until/unless it reruns in the future. NOTE (October 1st, 2021): Vanity Shields for Dilithium are now active for a week on PC (and have not been available for Playstation/XBox players).
