Guild Wars 2

I need to get a bunch of airship parts from airship cargo so I can buy the collectibles from the merchant, but every airship cargo I open only gives me 3 airship parts. Sometimes, some very rare times, they give me 25 airship parts.

Is there something that controls how often they give 25 airship parts? Like progress of the meta event? I’ve tried at different times and not noticed a difference.

But dangit, even with 80+ crowbars, it’s gonna take me almost all of them to buy just 1 collectible that costs 300 airship parts.

Nope, it’s random. Usually they give 3, but there’s a chance, probably around 20%, to give 25 instead.
