What are you going to do with your ToT bags?

I will keep them, need some cobs for new mini Raven skin and who knows, maybe I'll be lucky to get new infusion too.

I open a few to satisfy dailies or if I need more candy. Otherwise I just sell them because I never get anything good out of them.

I have most of the rare skins from the ToT bags--only one I wanted this year was "The Cure", and it is fairly inexpensive on the TP so I just bought it with gold. Thus, I farm them to sell them these days.

I feel like what OP actually wants to know is what they should do with theirs . . .

i have no luck with rng.......

No use them all? ;)

I opened the first 200 I got to remind myself that I'm not going to get anything worthwhile from them. Then I sell the rest to buy the things I want, even things which come from the ToT bags.

I keep and open all of them. I want those cobs!

Open them.

Best thing I got out of a ToT bag was last year's Touch of Madness. Decided to just flat-out buy the chainsaw skins. /shrugSo, selling bags by the half-stack to make up the cash. Then take some of the remainder to open. Then cry in disappointment and sell the remainder.

Selling of course, everything else would be just a big waste of money even if you're specifically after the bag exclusive items.

I need the currency and I like getting the consumables. Besides, I've already gotten 5 Halloween skins so far.

I've sold most of them this first week, save for the stack I saved from last year as a fun way to celebrate the festival return and a few odds and ends for the daily or to make the number I was selling more aesthetically pleasing to me. As the price falls, I'm more willing to open more of them, and I'll probably buy up a couple stacks once they seem to have bottomed out: one stack to open when the festival returns next year, and one to sell when the price gets high enough. I use some of the consumables, and I find it fun to see if I get a lucky drop, so I do open about half, give or take. I never open them just for candy corn, because if that's my primary goal, it's much more cost effective to sell the bags and buy the cobs. (Usually the cobs are the better price, but I always check to be sure and sometimes save a few silver buying pieces.)

Going to? Already opened all of them. :P

I seem to have overlooked the "open them all" option. :|

I open them all. I can use the luck.

Destroy all

Looking at prices on GW2 Spidy and my own experience with selling ToT bags I'd guess there's roughly the same number of people not only opening their own but buying more as there are people selling them. The price jumped up when Halloween started, then dropped quite rapidly and now seems to be stabilising, which suggests early on demand exceeded supply as people were buying them up to get a headstart on new/rare drops before farming had really kicked in and now supply is slightly exceeding demand. My guess is the price will continue to drop slowly until the end of the festival, then increase slightly in the last few days as people get bored farming them and become more willing to buy them for a last chance at rare drops.

Although the long-term trends are very interesting to me. According to GW2 Spidy the price of ToT bags had risen steadily from October 2012 when they were introduced to October 2015 (with only small increases in price at Halloween). Then in 2015 they shot up in price, reaching a peak in July 2016 and then the price crashed - starting in July, not October. Halloween 2016 doesn't even show on the graph - the drop continued at roughly the same rate as before and after. Then it's been fairly steady at about the same as the 2015 price ever since.

That looked very weird to me. Normally I'd expect the price to spike at the start of each Halloween when people buy them up for new drops, drop throughout the festival then rise slowly through the rest of the year when people are buying them occasionally and no new ones are entering the market, which is what happened in 2013 and 2014. I'm not sure what happened in 2015 to change that so drastically.

My first guess was the introduction and subsequent removal and then nerf of Maize Balm, but that doesn't fit - it was introduced in 2014, wasn't in the bags in 2015 and was changed to reduce the drops in late 2015 or early 2016, so it doesn't fit the pattern. Likewise Infusions, mini pets and other rare drops were first introduced in 2014. I can't work out what was introduced in Halloween 2015 and removed or changed in July 2016 to cause such a huge change in price.

The portal scrolls? Those seem like the sort of thing that might have generated a lot of early demand (cobs were needed to buy Essences of Halloween to make the Mystic Chests for the ingredients to make the scrolls) and then only trickles once the first rush at them was over.

ToT bags are awesome for luck, in quantity. Until I reach 300, I will be opening them. At 283 now.

I was keeping thousands of bags to sell it later, then I started to open a stack... And another... And again... And again...

I just opened 3.5k of mine, with a solid MF number. I got literally nothing. Just enough for about 15 cobs, which since the bags were worth about 200g means I was effectively paying about 13g a cob. No infusions, no minis, no equipment. A handful of T6 mats, from memory about 20 or 30. The drop rates on these damn things are just pathetic. You have to rely on hitting some kind of lottery style jackpot to get any sort of return at all.

I will be selling my bags from now on, and using the money to buy cobs. I can't see it makes sense to do anything else.

I tend to sell about 75% just for the gold revenue and then open the rest with fingers crossed praying to the rng gods lol

The chance of getting anything good out of a standard bag are terrible, but the value is high. So I'd rather sell them all and buy candy corn for cobs. I'm saving up for 120 for the previous year pet.
