Guild Wars 2

Ok, so i just opened a black lion chest with a key that dropped from a monster and within it, i got the chainsaw greatsword skin (2nd chest i tried during the event). Now im wondering, how lucky was that. Anyone know the chance of getting it? Also should i hold onto it hoping for prices to eventually increase (increase more rapidly than the prices of other items) or sell it now. Any guild wars 1 players have experience with holding onto event items after awhile with a big price increase?

Uh, wow. You are very, very lucky. As in, people are opening dozens and dozens of them without seeing any skins at all. I strongly suggest not getting involved in the incoming rage about drop rates from both sides. Prices are high right now on the TC, so you might want to sell. While it’s a cool looking skin, there’s the question of whether people are going to want it after the Halloween season. That I can’t answer.

I’ve heard of people having more luck with dropped keys than bought keys, but who knows? I’d imagine the price will fluctuate a bit until the end of the event… then the longer you wait, the more it will be worth. The gamble is whether or not they end up doing something in the other phases that makes them more common (unlikely, but who knows). So I’d say either sell it now or wait as long as you can. Just my $.02

as for GW1 players, i been playing since GW1 beta… its going to be like the Wintergreen weapons bra. People are going to sell at high with little to no demand. my recommendation: Sell it now. Prices are going to drop soon after. This isnt like GW1 so dont expect people to pay alot of gold for a stupid skin like if they were mini pets. i got 3 off of 10 chests so i made a pretty good profit.

Sell fast and sell now bra, dont lose profit!

I opened over 20 of them and didn’t see a thing. Only when I exchanged the items for Mad King chests did I see the rare stuff. I got a lv400 armorsmith formula and a green rifle skin.

Congrats sir and if I liked the skin I would be mad, I dont so again grats.

lol gamefreak, i like the way you think :P
Also It really is a tough decision whether to sell or not. I will decide by tommorrow, whatever im feeling. Waiting it out could go either way, and im not about risks.
