That's a 6.25% chance. 

Have my condolences. 

(I hope my math is mathing.)

The math is mathing, but only, if the drop chance of both gifts is equal.

Maybe the cheaper gift has a higher drop rate, as I have seen multi post, where people got might four times. The problem is, that the sample sizes are very small, because until now it were only four gifts per account, so we would need the results of much more accounts and not only the unlucky ones.

I got one magic and two mights, and the last one I bought but haven't opened it yet.

People basicly get a gift worth ~210 gold + a precursor for almost free and still complain... why am I not surprised...

Well, to be fair, having gift of Magic instead of Might for 4 kit is like a 600g difference.

So basically, value wise, it's like someone got 5 kit while you got 4.

The frustration is somehow legit.

I wonder what the consequence would be if you could just choose which gift you wanted.  People would obviously choose the one that costs more to make, but that would then help bring the prices closer together (reduces demand for some of those materials), and I don't think it is an intentional design decision that the gift of magic materials cost more, it has just worked out based on various factors.

It might help if people mention which precursor they chose in this thread. I seem to remember reading a conversation somewhere where quite a few people noticed that they got the same gift as each other when picking the same weapon. Even if it isn't fixed, the RNG might be weighted more one way or the other for particular weapons.

I got starter kits for Moot, Juggy, Bifrost, and Unicorns. Got 2 of each.

Whatever people post here, it will still be anecdotal, meaning that it will still be too small a sample size to draw any sensible conclusions

Lol dudes relax, it was just a funny observation. I am glad we get the gifts. Havent build a legendary out of the kits yet. Hoping i would get the other gift in the end. Because.. what are the odds getting 4 in a row right? I am glad I never go to the casino now.

I actually would choose the other one. To get 2 of each.

Because you also need to have gifts of exploration, which for me is too much time to get. 

So i would be happy getting 2 new legendaries. (I crafted 3 weapons so far after playing since beginning.) Accepting that i would be unable to craft the other 2 legendaries for a long time. 

For people with more time to play they would get the more expensive one I think.
