Guild Wars 2

If i find a coffer/ bl chest/ crate etc.

Is the ticket in that specific crate?

or is the ticket allocated randomly at any given point in time?

I am assuming the latter.

Only someone with access to the code would know the real answer but putting them into specific coffers/crates/… would probably require making them unstackable as well as putting a significant increase in server memory usage and disk usage(multiplied by however many backup copies they keep around). The code would also be more complicated. I can’t think of any benefits to doing it this way.

So unless ANet is a fan of burning money the item is probably allocated when you open them.

The tickets have a chance to be found in the coffers you find randomly from enemy mobs.

The contents of a particular crate (bag/chest/etc.) are created when the chest is opened, not when the chest is created. It would be a waste of resources to track the millions of containers in existence at any point in time, even ignoring all those on the TP.

There’s currently half a dozen skritt in Queensdale with coffers containing tickets and they are worried in case word gets out…

This is a blonde answer btw…

This question represents a misunderstanding of RNG.

Each time you open a box, think of it as a more complex form of rolling dice.

Lol…

It is like Schrödinger’s cat. The ticket is in the chest as long as you do not open the chest.
