Q:

Given the temporary nature of BLC drops, does it mean they’re effectively gone forever with the Wintersday patch or the patch after it? Not counting the 6 you get as achievement rewards.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they come back to fill in the gap between Wintersday and the next season. There’s still some winter left between Wintersday and Lunar New Year. They could just as easily just keep whatever they put there for Wintersday going though. Anyone’s guess.

nice hyperbole.
But on topic: its a lv 80 merchant, even if the exotics are worthless for you, there’s no reason why 79- exotics should drop.
and secondly.. it’s gambling through gambling.
you give up 33% of your gamble for a chance in a fourth gamble.. how does that make sense?

I wish they were gone altogether! They are wasting a free slot in the BLC for me. At least you can sell them to the merchant and don’t have to use them (and waste Unbound Magic along with them).

It’s not hyperbole: BL chests are exactly like lotto tickets; they drop garbage with a teenie tiny chance of something tremendous.

Regarding the exotic drops from the Jotun: they are apparently exactly the same as what you might get from the Mystic Forge, if you tossed in four exotics, with an average level of 74+.

For reasons that (sort of) made sense at the time, they changed that particular combination to offer up both L80 weapons and L75-79 weapons with other skins. The week they made the change, it increased the output value (since the skins were rare at the time, and so the items were expensive). These days, with the cheap rares spit out during AB/ML and the super cheap exotics spitting out from BL chests, the L75-79 skins aren’t worth much.

On the other hand, you can just sell the tokens for 50 silver, which is a fairly nice piece of junk from the BL chests, that used to drop little you could sell.

Which I, in hindsight, shouldve done. Wouldve been what? 15-20g?
