Crates are a loot-based reward system on Cobblemon Islands (CI). They work like mystery boxes—when you open one with a key, you’ll get a randomized prize. Rewards can include exclusive items and cosmetics, and other valuable in-game resources.

What are crates?
There are two types of crates on CI:
* **Core Crates**: Always available and easy to get keys while playing the game! [View the Core Crates](https://wiki.cobblemonislands.com/crates/all-time-stay-crates)
* **Featured Crates**: Released every 2–3 months as special highlights. Each featured crate follows a unique theme. When a new featured crate arrives, the old ones are vaulted in the Museum. [View Past Monthly Crates](https://wiki.cobblemonislands.com/crates/monthly-crates)
