Guild Wars 2

So, there is a rumor going around. That is that Anet wants legendaries in PvP which will be made with legendary shards or whatever (think of them as like arcane items).

That being said, supposedly they drop from the boxes you get matches. So I have seen quite a few people saving them up in hopes that when it gets released, they will have a larger chance of getting some right away.

Any truth to this? Currently I have about 70 boxes I have yet to open.

Well, truth or not – you actually lose nothing to just keep them, hoping for better rewards one day. For now, you get useless items from these chests which you can get easily without opening them. I keep saving them and majority of my pvp mates do keep as well, regardless of that ‘legendary shards’ rumour :p

That’s true I suppose. I just wonder if the contents are already determined before they are opened?

Unlikely. It would be inefficient to code that way, and I know that it doesn’t work that way for boxes in PvE at least.

One reason to open them now is glory boosters. You can actually make some rather decent coin off glory with those winter’s day boxes right now, and I don’t believe there’s another way to reliably get boosters (I suppose you could buy them with gems but I won’t do that.)

Yes, but I already have 35+ boosters just sitting around, so I don’t really need any. And yes, I’m making a ton of money from the gifts!

Just sayin’. I have about 30 too but they don’t really last that long.

Dont save them, this was dispelled about a month ago, aint kitten in them boxes anyway

They already said that we definitely should open the chests

there will be no crafting mats for legendary cause they said pvp crafing will be removed at same time they remove glory
