Guild Wars 2

I’m in the process of map completion so I’ve picked up a few keys along the way. This weekend I managed to snag an Endless Mystery Tonic out of one chest. Other than that i’ve only picked up a few black lion salvage kits (5).

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever gotten?

I’ve never gotten anything ‘cool’ out of a BLC.

Here is a list of everything the Chest drops:

I got a Holographic Scarlet mini. That mini is priceless! She runs around after my succubus—the glowy red making her look like a kitten ed soul, forever enslaved…

I’ve gotten the scarlet mini, the caithe mini, and a quaggan killer whale backpack cover from BLC. The killer whale is just too cute <3

The mini’s and the backpacks look awesome. I wouldn’t mind having a Tybalt backpack.

I dropped $150 on keys once and got perm merchant, perm tp, and around ten BL tickets.

out of 100 or so keys (they used to drop a lot more often a year ago), the best thing I’ve got from the chests is salvage kits and boosters.

Caithe and Scarlet, ticket scraps, those Tome of Knowledge level scrolls.

1 Copper.

I wish I was kidding.

Hairstyle-Kit + Tiger-Charr-Rucksack

My favorite BL Chest drops are 5 Transmutation Crystals (Fine).

Endless Furniture Tonic

I opened 4 chests the other night , got two tickets and one scrap

A total makeover kit I guess? BL salvage kits are really useful as well.

5 Transmutation Crystals is the best I’ve ever gotten from the BLC’s.

I got the permanent bank access contract yesterday. I really don’t have a use for it, but it goes for quite a bit. So I’m pleased.

mini Caithe…bets thing so far. I never putrchased any keys.

got yesterday 1 key and in chest was 1 crafting booster +1 yellow black lion ticket (you need 5-7 for a skin and they all look bad)

what a waste

4 fused weapon tickets from 20-25 chests back during flame and frost

I got 3 of those tickets from 20 chests during that event.

During one of the aether events, I got enough scraps from around 25 chests for an aether weapon skin that I sold for an awful lot of gold. Another big gold maker was a pack of 3 quaggan back-pack skins.

Unidentified dyes. But my bestie found a tiger-charr backpack once and gave it to me!

Charr Backpack Cover

Right now, I’m saving my keys until the Halloween patch (in case there’s extras in the chests.)
Other than that, I once got a Tybalt Leftpaw backpack.

Most useful item (for me) has been the salvage kit. Other stuff:

Transmute Crystals (the old ‘fine’ version) – though these used to drop a lot more often than they do now.

Dye Packs have been a nice drop at times. I normally sell the regular unidentifieds, but since these show the rarity I unwrap all of them (and use about 80% of them on various characters).

I think I picked up a minis pack the one time. Don’t really have any interest in these, so don’t remember. I should check sometime if any of them in my collection are sellable.

Oh, and a related question from OP: ‘Worst’ drop? KillStreak Booster, followed by these odd ‘generic’ tonics. Would be nice if that booster were swapped with the WXP one.

500+ chest and I have only gotten what I would consider garbage (boosters, hair kits, mini packs etc.)

no contracts, no endless tonic.

Cheaper to buy anything from TP that you want vs. trying your luck in a BLC due to the odds, the only item you can’t get around that with is the Endless Tonic.

1 Copper.

This one really annoys me. You spent good money (gold or gems) on keys, then you get Heavy Bag of Coins only to get crap returns back. The Bags should have a higher minimum amount of silver/gold returned.

Last Halloween I got a scythe skin from a BLC. Wish I had saved it…

Best: Black Lion Salvage Kit

Worst chest ever:

• 1 ticket scrap (I only use the odd key I get while playing, so it’ll take me several years to get enough of these to buy a weapon.)
• 1 PvP glory booster (‘Deposit Collectible’ and never see it again)
• 1 heavy bag of coins (Containing just short of 2 silver)

My last few chests were all a total waste of the time it took to open them.

Actually, there was one item I was always looking forward to in the chest: more Black Lion Keys. I could usually open 7-8 chests with 5 Keys to start.

Would have been better to just adjust its droprate way down, instead of removing it totally. I find myself buying less keys due to this.

Chainsaw Greatsword Skin last Halloween which I sold for peanuts compared to what they go for now.

I only got Rubbish from the occasional in game key drop.
I save up all BLkittenil I have a full stack and then I delete it. I learnt my lesson long ago. As long as living world content design is solely centered around the Game Shop and they won’t release new armor and weapon skins which can be gotten by other means I’m not buying diddly squat from the Shop. I used to collect minis up until the point Mr Sparkles got released. If I want to gamble I go to a casino.

I got a scrap .-.

I’ve never gotten anything of note from a BLC. Not even a single ticket scrap. Not a hair kit. I guess maybe the “best” thing I’ve gotten was a few Tranmutation Crystals.

Mind you, I absolutely refuse to pay for gambling crap like the chests, so I’ve probably only opened maybe 20 in my entire playtime (key drop rate is SO bad). So getting nothing of note isn’t really out of the ordinary.
