Mistress Elemental.3750 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I am really starting to wonder if the Mini Exo-Suit Mounts Pack can drop from the black lion chest or if it is truly a Uncommon drop rate. I have opened 101 chests with normal keys, and 6 with Golden keys but it still has not dropped. In the past with these mini packs, I usually get it within 50ish keys. Granted maybe I have been super lucky but I am really starting to wonder if something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Based on data for 500 keys from @"Lasiurus.4067", we have the following numbersSuper Rare: 0% Rare: 3.4% (included 9 BL weapon skins)Uncommon drops: 5.6% (included 20 BL weapon skins)From 100 keys, that means 5-7 keys unless you're lucky (and fewer if you aren't). With ~20 possible uncommon drops, I doubt 100 is enough to come close to guaranteeing an unlock, unless the drop chances for the mini pack is a lot more than that for the weapon skins, bl claim tickets, or the other two account-bound unlocks.

Mistress Elemental.3750 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 I guess I have just been super lucky on past unlocks...I have always gotten them within 25-50 keys...Guess I am getting a bad draw....Sucks when you are a mini collector and you are trying to get RNG minis that take real money or lots of gems.

Bovan.9481 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I normally get these uncommon drops rather quickly, but this one in particular took me 211 keys and 2 golden keys. Something seems a little fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 If you're able to wait, so far all BL-chest exclusive drops have eventually become available through some other, non-RNG mechanic, often through the statuettes.So buy BL Keys for the excitement that comes just before opening, and not to get any specific drop. For example, buy 25 twice a month and then save up statuettes for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TtynBff.6280 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I opened some chest and I got it!!!! For a second I thought it was the real mounts lol not Minis ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress Elemental.3750 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 I swear I am not going to get these minis. I just converted another 700 ish gold for 2100 gems for 25 more keys, no minis. Purchased 4 more golden keys, nothing...I am really starting to wonder.

Shikigami.4013 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Nothing more than a bit of bad luck, sorry :( In all of GW2 I think I only ever once bought keys from the gemstore long ago during a sale, but I got 2 of those Exo-Suit Mini-Packs just from a few personal story keys. I neither collect nor ever use any minis, so I wish they were actually as rare as you think now, maybe then instead I would have gotten something useful to me. Too much in those chests is accountbound which is annoying in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncommon my %$#.Glad you finally got it.Just as a reminder for others:There's barely a 1-in-10 chance of getting any uncommon (or better) item Lots of people will open 100 chests and get less than the expected 10.Even if you get an uncommon drop, there are many of them; it's still a low chance that you'll get the uncommon item that you covet.In other words, spend on keys for their entertainment value, not to get something specific. (And a simple way to ensure you do so is by limiting the amount you spend on keys, whether time grinding gold or RL cash.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
