I just opened 2000 boxes (yes I used an autoclicker, what of it?) and I got an empress piece in the first 300 but none thereafter.
Now either this means that the RNG hate hate hates me, or that it's capped at 1 per day, much like how Tempest coins were capped at 20/20/10 per day from boxes.
No conspiracy thread is complete without proof, of course, and I'm currently uploading a few videos onto youtube (~2 hours in total) to provide some evidence.

This is interesting if true. What was the point in delaying Empress equips until the 16th then?

I thought we already knew this was true from KMS, and at least just needed a confirm.
Anyway.. yeah. OK.

I think its just as likely that the boxes only have 1/1000 chance of giving an empress item, and you were lucky to get one after only 300 but then the luck ran out. Lots of people on the Nexon forum are complaining about opening 1000 or more and getting nothing.

People on the nexon forums have claimed to get multiples on the same character....so it's not 1 per day. They're just rare as hell.

drop rate seems around 1/1000 but people have claimed for multiple within the day. Sorry for your luck

The sample of a single person is not enough to conclude definite proof.
All I'm going to say is you got a helluva lot luckier than most people who opened a ton of boxes.

The bit about the autoclicker wasn't necessary... but thanks for being honest?
Also, the limit is more or less common knowledge- or at least around Southperry. It's been like that in KMS, so I wouldn't see a reason why it'd change.

I got nothing from about 150 boxes if that helps.

There's no cap, but the rate is extremely low.

It should be low. How people farm that many boxes is beyond me. I must be farming wrong

So you used an autoclicker, what of it?
Hey look, that works both ways!
OT: Welp, guess I can give up on getting full Empress on most of my alts/mules.

As I've stated before, I'm thankful for the extremely low rate.

The rate is low, but I opened one box and got an mage cape. I must've been extremely lucky to get it, seeing as people opened a lot of boxes and got no empress.
