Guild Wars 2

So I went crazy and bought as many of these as I could with the karma I had, about 450k worth which got me about 100 boxes. I opened them with a 50% karma buff and the karma drops etc I got from the boxes meant all in all before I ran out of karma I opened over 200 boxes…this is what I got:

51 Obsidian Shards
3 1/2 stacks of unidentifiable objects, which I sold at 1g 25s a stack to vendor
2 Risen Priest of Balthazar mini-pets (which are non-tradeable)
2 crystal, 2 onyx, 1 molten,2 glacial and1 charged lodestones – net worth about 8g
1 warm tonic and 1 hard tonic (both endless) – fire and earth elemental transform – soulbound

So all in all about 12-13g worth of saleable stuff, 2 (albeit cool) relatively useless minipets, 51 obsidian shards (no use unless I want to do the rest of the insane requirements for the legendary) and two tonics (meh).

Draw your own conclusions, but for me at least that 450k karma represents about 2 months of gameplay. I dont think I’ll be buying more.

Its a use for karma if you have all the gear you want. Its not the best but its something.

Indeed. I’m just putting the results out there so people know what to expect.

why not gamble your karma for a chance at something of value when you have no need of it? the boxes are worth it to alot of people if you ask me just dont expect rng to always favor you

Similar for me (maybe a wee less then 200), only 1 mini and no tonics, which I hoped for.
Not unhappy with the result though.

Like I say, I’m not complaining…I’m just putting it out there. Only thing that concerns me is that future patches may introduce new karma gear….
