“Each day in March we’re putting a different item on sale in the Gem Store! Save from 15% to 40% on boosters, upgrades, consumables and more! Each sale begins and ends at midnight Pacific Standard Time, so make sure to check the Promotions tab in the Gem Store every day in March to see the daily savings!”
Dear person in charge of sales,
Every day you tease me with these sales and very few have interested me. I did grab a few mini pet bundles and ended up with some rare ones-thanks for that. But you and I both know what we all really want, its shiny, its kinda expensive, and it opens boxes. So please if you can soon add the Black Lion keys on there for me and my fellow players. Every day I log in to see what is on sale, its easiest to tell if it is a good item or bad by simply clicking the transfer page. If gems > gold skyrocketed, then I know you have put something nice up there. I’d imagine a good indicater of future pricing for these less popular items would be the gem trade factor. This might help determine what people desire most in game, and what they are willing to spend cash/gems on. As for me, I’m just waiting for that one thing, please don’t make me wait 24 more days.
Sincerely,
A loyal customer.

Why… just why!!
Everyone knows there is nothing remotely of value in those BL chests that is worth the price of the keys, how many XP boosters do you need in a game that gives you silly amounts of it during your leveling process already.. I have 300+ sat in bank doing nowt, just like countless others. Do ya think its worth buying enough keys in the sale maybe…….

Short answer? Yes.
Long answer: For me they are worth it, what isn’t in the pics is the 35g I made off 10 chests from backs, the 7 g off the coin bags, and the countless keys that opened even more chests. But to each their own, I made more off the chests than I could have directly transferring to gold. On top of that I have tons of items for it.

Still shows me it’s not worth it in the grand scheme of things.
I want fine transmutation stones to go on sale.

Yeah me too! It’s the only thing I ever consistantly convert my gold to gems for.
I consistently beat my head against a brick wall farming blk’s and hoping to get fine stones. I use the lvl 10 story method for keys , but the rng of getting a stone is horrendous. ( I have a personal objection to buying them directly)

If what you say is true, I think you just answered your own question. More gold from chests than gem exchange means less money for them, especially if keys are on sale. You could theoretically buy discounted keys, make more gold than gem exchange rate, then convert back to more gems than you had, and that is real money lost on their side.
Although it is only the 8th of March today, so we still have plenty of time to see what happens.
I haven’t had an extra key in one of the chests for some time. Are they still in there?

Ah, I was going to ask if they have gone on sale yet because I keep forgetting to check the sales each day. Phew!

Based off of people who post on it, not off every opening. I myself never posted to that chart either and I’ve probably opened 400 chests in the last 2-3 months. Just sayen.
I’ve gotten 3+ of all the makeover/hair style/dye kits as well. If I can do a mass opening perhaps next time I will post results on there or here.

Yea, I’ve had no keys for a bunch of chests and then get one from almost every one heh I’ve had some pretty strange results but overall was always fun and worth it.
