Things I have observed:
The good stuff is only given within the first dozen or so boxes of the day. I've gotten AEEs, Chaos scrolls, Pet Attack, Accessory Attack, and 60% 1h att, always within a dozen or so boxes, the first I open that day. After that, I open another couple hundred boxes, and all they contain is potions (Milks and Dews), 60% Accessory STR (I have over 100 of those already o.o), level 90 warrior weapons/gloves/shoes, and trait items (Hair Wax, Carrot Juice, etc).
To those who say "it's all random" - clearly it's not. 3 days with the same behavior is way too consistent. My guildies have also observed the same thing. We know the boxes are "smart" because they only give you equips for your class (I don't even get spears or maces, only swords and axes!) and accessory stat scrolls for your class, so having them keep track of how many you've already used is not too farfetched. (Relogging doesn't help, btw)
So yeah, unless you're like me and want the trait items, or intend to fuse all those free equips into some good ones, don't bother hunting Eregos after you've opened, say, 20 boxes that day. (Not sure of the exact number)
