Shroud's Encrypted Datacube toy?

Question

I tried looking this up online, but didn't see any information about what this actually does. I'm familiar with the 8 Encrypted Datacubes that are numbered (eg Encrypted Datacube 89-G), but I've not seen this one before.

Has anyone got the "Shroud's Encrypted Datacube" before, and what does it do when you use it?

Never heard of it, where did you see it?

Just got it out of a Grand Toy Pack

Weird.. I don't see it in the collection under toys.. maybe it gives you all the datacubes if you never did it?

Yeah I couldn't see it either. It'd be dope if it gives you all 8! :)

From the description and screenshot, looks like it. Cool to see they're back. I know people that never collected them.

There is a bundle of all 8 of the encrypted datacubes - is that it maybe? I know I bought that bundle off the GTN last week off someone. Once clicked, all 8 of the cubes were in my inventory (and not bound after the standard timer so I could resell them)

What! That would be amazing if that's what this is... I am afraid to click it until I know for sure. Or, I at least want to open it on my main toon rather than the mule toon that has it now.

Hmm...

Take a screenshot of the description. I ended up unlocking all 8 cubes in collections (400cc each, had some saved up) which is worth it to have 8 free Major Valor Boosts for every character you make.

It says: "Use: This box contains special consumables only available from Cartel Packs"

Thanks for trying to help figure this out, BTW!

Sounds from the description like it might indeed be what you mentioned (contains all 8 encrypted datacubes).

Yep, that's it. Some of them sell for a ton so you can risk selling the whole thing or split it up. I bought mine for 2 million looking on the GTN for one individual one I was willing to spend 8 million on to complete the set. :)

It contains all eight datacubes. I just went and found my screenshot from after the toy packs were released, and it's called 'Shroud's Encrypted Datacubes', implying that all of his datacubes are in it.

Nice! Do you have a link or did you get this and it worked this way for you?

2
EggsGamerTagHarbinger <Intrepid>•

I can upload the screenshot. I never used it as I had the cubes from when they first came out.

Like I said, it probably contains them ALL as it is clearly implied they all come with it, and not a random number of them.

Badass, and thanks for the research! :D

Gives you a mission to go to Nar Shaddaa and watch a brief cutscene. Rewards a major xp boost or major valor boost. Completing all 8 missions gives an armor set. http://tor-fashion.com/revered-chronicler/

Aha, my bad

Thanks for trying to help, but this isn't one of the normal 8 encrypted datacubes. Sorry I didn't make that more clear in my post! :)

Ever head of this specific one? Or, were you saying that this thing unlocks the other encrypted datacubes or something?

1
Jatne•

Sorry was a little too fast on the answer. Looks like from the screenshot and what others have said is it is just a box containing all 8.

Cool, thanks a lot!!
