A costume and an armor booster is all I got from a BLC after buying one key today. I mean…really!?

I remember getting more in these chests.

They scratched the 1 copper you got from every chest with the last update.

The change means that youre guaranteed a booster of some kind plus two additional rewards out of the pool of items.

Ive noticed that, since the change, the loot received from opening a chest has been pretty poor but this could just be down to luck. A couple of days ago I recieved a Crafting Booster + 2 Mystery Tonics + 1 Mystery Tonic. Harsh but it wasnt as if I bought it off of the gem store.

Doesn’t seem like much of a change for me. Booster, bonfire, unidentified dye, and mystery tonics(not all at the same time! just some mix of them).

I don’t like the guaranteed booster…. I want some of the other stuff… not boosters, never use any of the boosters. The only booster I might use is the karma booster and that one they took out. Don’t get why they removed the name changer from the chest either, that would be one of the few brilliant things to get.

You got a costume from a BLTC chest? That sounds great!

I am pretty happy about that change since the chance of me needing a name change is lower than the precursor drop rate.

The only booster that is just completely useless to me is the crafting booster. Unless they decide to double the number of crafting professions or add another 100 levels to each every year.

I think they mean one of the one-use mystery tonics

I don’t understand why people complain about the crafting booster, it saves a lot of cash when taking crafts to 500…

Crafting boosters only work when youre basic crafting. They do not give their effect when discovering new recipes, which is the primary way to level up crafting. In addition to this fact, im master crafter on my main (with two 500s), have two 500s on my alt and two 400s on another alt so ive really no use for the 26 boosters currently sitting in my bank.
