Guild Wars 2

So you can get 1-67 spockets per box correct? I got only 5 in my free box, I noticed that the airship pass is 25. Is it worth buying a couple more boxes to try get an airship pass a lot cheaper than the 1k gem cost when it comes up in the gem store?

Ah well. Warning to others, it seems it’s not a 1-67 even chance, 1-5 more common. I bought 4 boxes and only got 6 sprockets 1 1 1 and 3. Would have been cheaper to wait for an airship pass for 1k @ the gem store. Ouch for me, 800gems and can’t make anything off it or get something I even want.

My advice to everyone who wants a specific thing:

• If it’s available on the TP, convert gems to gold and buy it outright.
• If it’s not, assume you’ll get 1 token per box and estimate how many boxes you’d need. For example, for Selfless Potion, you’d buy 10 for 1500 gems. Are you willing to spend that many gems for it?
• Assuming “yes”, purchase boxes 10-at-a-time. You get the max discount possible and if you get lucky, you can stop sooner.

This way, you get what you want for the least amount of effort, with your expectations set sufficiently low that you can avoid disappointment. Your only surprises will be good ones

Just a funny update, I used the free box we got today, got 1 sprocket again while a guildy got like 56. 6 boxes netted me 12 sprockets, with 4 being 1’s. RNG is cruel indeed.

You are more likely to get 1 sprocket than 4. I’m willing to bet that getting 5 sprockets is the equivilence of the chance you’ll have at getting an ascended gear chest. And 7 sprockets has a chance worse than a kittening precursor dropping.

Odd, then what about so many guildies getting 25-50 in some of their free? I think that’s more like ascended drop tbh.

Someone got the ghost rifle skin today from my guild as well. It’s amazing, 700g+ skins or 50s candy. Though I’ve never been lucky with any RNG item like chests, boxes etc.
