Lockbox Vault Tickets

If you're a new member to DC Universe Online, many of the choices in Promethium Lockboxes can be useful. The style drops can help with feat completion as well as save marks from vendor sets. But if you've been around for years, a lot of the choices start to lose value. However, since the transition to Augments, salvaging gear for the new exobytes has become important, thus giving value to the vault ticket drop.

You do have to be careful about how you use them though. Here are some tips:

Scaling Gear
The box that's 2nd closest to the exit carries the scaling gear along with Mark of Victory. The gear scales to your character's CR. With the vault tickets being account bound, you will want to move it over to your highest character in order for the gear to max out. When you salvage it you wil get the highest MK exobyte, which you can then pass back to any other character. Passing a high MK exobyte down to a lower tiered character can jump an augment several levels!

Event Drops
You may also want to save up vault tickets for use during seasonal events because additional items can drop. Some of these items can be sold for a lot of in-game cash offseason.

Keep these in mind when you get vault tickets from your lockboxes. Don't just use them as they drop on the characters that get them!
