Guild Wars 2

What can come out of a BL chest has changed, but is there an official word somewhere on what can be inside? I’ve searched through the forums a little and didn’t see anything. I did find some posts about things that had been added, but nothing that definitively said, here are the things that might be inside a BL chest.

You used to get a consumable or service item, a tonic and a booster. It looks like there’s some money in the chests, sometimes, now. Would that be considered a consumable? Are the 3 items now completely random or is there still a consistent formula? Will I always get a consumable/service item, a tonic and a booster, now, in other words?

If there isn’t an official post, one would be very helpful. If there was something summarizing what to expect from a BL chest, now, I know I’d be more inclined to get more.

Thanks

This is probably your best bet as to what is inside a Black Lion Chest. I seriously doubt an ArenaNet representative is going to come onto the forums and tell you what is inside of it. They have a great deal more important things to discuss.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there’s a link to the Drop Research that will not only give you items that come out, but also the likelihood you will get them.

I hope you find what you’re looking for.

This post is your best bet. There’s a section dedicated to explaining the “new” BL Chests.

“Rebalanced to reduce overabundance of some items” Which items have been rebalanced? Is it just the gathering tools or is the Black Lion Salvage kit less likely to fall? That’s a big statement for no information.

They became extremely worthless after the update, at least for me.

Most I got out of them is 1 unID dye and a bag of coins, which contained 2s.
I even saved my keys to open during this time.
Should have opened before, if I knew it would be so worthless.

1 booster, a bag of 2s coins, and something that was unrememberable, valued at 0c. was the one I just opened. The many others were not as valuable.

That’s my point. I’ve read that post, but it’s not clear at all about what to expect from a BL chest.

The mouse-over description says, “Contains a random prize, a random buff and mystery tonics.” If ANet would be kind enough to clarify what a “random prize” is, that would help a lot?

1 Copper is a random prize.

Speaking of helpful… Forgot to say thanks for this link. It is helpful.
