With the latest patch, is it worth to open Black Lion Chest ?
I have a bit more than 60 keys… !

-For a limited time, every Black Lion Chest contains an additional Crystallized Magic item.
-For a limited time, all super rare Contract items in the Black Lion Chest have three times the chance to drop.

From patch notes as well.

Please note: they are still very rare.

Perhaps now is a better time than before but it is still a gamble. Good luck with your keys.

It’s not bad. You’re unlikely to get a permanent contract as they are still extremely rare but you’ll get 60 gold back guaranteed from the cystals, plus the usual stuff.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Really !
At this moment, Crystal (1) is 100% drop when opening a black lion chest ?

Yes. I opened a few and got a crystal each time as well as the usual drops.

There are only three reasons to save BL Keys:

  • To wait for unpredictable special drops, such as this week (or two).
  • To wait for predictable special drops, such as usually happen for Halloween and/or Wintersday.
  • To wait until you have ‘enough’ to get at least one ‘fun’ drop (for me, ‘enough’ is usually ~10).

tl;dr might as well open them today, unless you want to hold on to them for another 4-5 months.

I have around 10,000 of these in storage. Are there actually any keys out there for these chests are do you just dump them?

Keys are available from:

Area Map completions (does not include Cities or Southsun)
Three specific Personal Story episodes (Levels 10, 40, 60)
Heart of Thorns (Act 3)
Gem Store
The process of ‘Key-running’ (Once per week/account)
Black Lion Chests
Particular Achievement Chests
Daily Log-in Black Lion Chests
Drops from foes
PvP Reward and Rank Tracks
WvW Reward Tracks
Etc.

Do be aware that most of the above sources for Keys are chances, and not guaranteed, though a few are guaranteed drops. Check the Wiki for more precise drop information.

Good luck.

Yeah. It just adds another chest slot filled with the Crystal.
