Guild Wars 2

IMO most of that stuff is little better than junk. If you let it, it will clog up your very limited inventory space.
Yes, 250 is the limit on most things. If you collect more than that without some serious grinding, it’s usually because the item is worthless.

As you level up, you’ll naturally get more ‘luck’ – but I wouldn’t hold your breath, it doesn’t seem to make much difference – at least to me.
I would use the key because you can’t do anything else with it. Those chests usually contain little of value.
As for Trick or Treat bags: Did you look at what you could sell it for on the TP before you opened it? Compare the value of the stuff inside.
All bag consumables appear to be like that – better to sell than open.

This is one aspect of the game I don’t like. It tries to get you to gamble on very, very poor odds. You might find a Legendary in that chest – probably not. Some people think that’s fun.

You can use the bank to store up extra stacks of candy corn. Just move the full stack to the bank, and new candy corn will deposit as collectables as it did before. When you get 4 stacks you can convert them to something else at the candy corn vendors in LA.

Yes, there’s a whole industry that caters to people who think that’s fun. Lotteries.

I admit that I do find it fun a bit myself, though not so much that I’d pay for the privilege.

I did consider selling the bags. I’m just not sure what can drop out of there, or if it’s level-dependent, thus my question. When I’ve opened them I’ve mostly gotten more candy corn…

I know that monster drops themselves depends on player level so I wondered if things like those chests did as well.

You can open pretty much any bag at your current level, the drops won’t change based on your level. Profit-wise it’s probably better to sell the bags, but honestly don’t care about getting that extra 10% money from drops.

As for candy corn, you can get a 20 slot bag with them, but it costs 15.000 candy corns and I doubt you can afford that many. I say sell them (they go for 80c each and drop quite easily) but keep a considerable chunk (possibly a stack deposited in your bank) just in case you decide to level a profession (they are used for some nice food recipes, a rune and something else I think).

Talking about black lion chests is opening a can of worms… they do contain extremely good items, but the chances to get them are extremely low. Not to mention that keys may as well not drop, as 1 year worth of playing got me 3 keys other than the guaranteed ones you get from Personal Story. But since there’s nothing else to do with keys and chests, I say go for it! Maybe you’ll luck out and get a ticket to buy that sweet Silly Scimitar skin (check it out).
