When is it going to be changed? These items, excluding possibly Eternity, are literally the hardest items to obtain in game, which is obscene. They have a droprate of something like 1/1000 from BLCs (see http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Chest/Drop_rate), and at about 2g a pop for a key, that is almost 2000g on average to get ONE RANDOM endless mystery tonic. There are THREE possible (furniture, tree, creature), and I want one of them in particular, so I’m basically screwed. Throw in the fact that gem prices continue to rise, and you have a nearly unobtainable item.

I have personally opened 700 blcs and only got one of the three varieties (tree version)… and that was before the December update to blcs, which appears to have made the droprate even worse: regular mystery tonics only drop rarely now, and I believe that endless tonics are triggered to drop only a small percentage of the time that regular ones do.

Either make these non-account bound so I can buy them on the trading post, make the drop rate bearable (like 1/50), or create other ways to obtain them (mystic forge, or laurel vendor). Please, for my sanity…

i found mine at about level 41 after previously finding 1 or 2 of the regular sets of 3 mystery tonics… i figured it was common :$ then i found me some white dye soon after.

edit: it was the creature endless m.tonic

I’d rather just see them no longer account bound, so players can buy them with money if they want. Halloween and Wintersday tonics can be traded, so why not these?

Or maybe that’s me wanting to be able to cash out on one of the few times the RNGods favored me haha

Wow – I had no idea they were this rare. I just opened a BLC for the first time in ages (got one free from the promo) and got a furniture mystery tonic. Thought to myself “meh”. Then I checked out the drop rate and went “Woooaaaah!”

I wouldn’t trade gold for gems to buy keys, it’s just not worth it. Having said that I have one of these tonics (the furniture one) that I got last year when I was farming keys. All up I have probably opened up maybe 100-200 chests from farming keys and clearing maps on my 8 chars.

I think you are right the drop rate has probably got worse for them in the last couple of updates to the chests. Having a 1 in 50 chance tho would be a bit silly. Because if you open chests often it would not be long before you have too many that you can’t do anything with and thus these would be wasted chest rewards and you would soon be moaning about that. Maybe they could make them tradable to fix that tho.

PS, good luck getting your tonic! (mumbles to himself how dang annoying they are when you want to use them to turn into a SPECIFIC piece of furniture but due to the rng of how it works it can take up to 100 times trying before you get that look you want, and then it only lasts 5-15 mins!).

Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?

Personally, I’d like to see MORE endless tokens, like endless owl tonic, endless fiery tonic etc ….more of them, in the mix, with slightly higher chance of getting one would be great
