Return of the Explorers Event!

Since those boxes were apparently in other versions, does anyone know if they were tradable? I've been considering changing the hair and eyes of a number of my alts, but I'm still boycotting the purchase of NX and the MTS route is taking forever since I have fail luck at drops and can't solo reasonable bosses reliably yet.

Main reason I ask is simply how long it would take a perma-beginner for example to kill loads of mobs. Another reason being I'm most likely have to focus on a character I've never really cared for to get it to 50 during this event. Having a character for each and every class across my accounts, the only one in my main that I can recreate for this event would be my F/P.

I don't really see giving away things like those basic character NX items hurting their profits either. Especially not now that NX items are non-transferable between the new character types.

Pretty sure they're not tradeable.
