Gop.8713 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I meant to mention this when the chest changed over, but leaving the bl mastery coffer as the guaranteed item in the bl chest for this rotation after the gold value has been nerfed to ten silvers is a bit of an eh. And yes I know, who cares really the guaranteed item is often a nothing item but this is *really* a nothing item ; p May as well not even be there really . . . 12 1 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowersunshine.7385 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I'm definitely keeping my keys until the next rotations. I'll wait for the minis, extra BL statuettes, etc. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Yehhh I don't really like the reduction in vendor value. I just used them for spirit shards. While it may be a who cares topic, it was such a significant drop, it's disappointing regardless. They were kind of nice little bit of gold or mastery, depending on what you wanted. Not quite down to repair canister level of dislike, but close enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, which makes it rather worthless when you've got all masteries maxed out and a couple of thousand spirit shards gathering dust in your wallet, not to mention two stacks of Tomes of Knowledge in case you ever need more spirit shards... 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but it went from one gold down to 10 silver in vendor value, so it's kind of disappointing for anyone who already has all the masteries and doesn't need xp. Spirit shards are nice but it was a good option to be able to sell it for a full gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowersunshine.7385 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 3 hours ago, Eloc Freidon.5692 said: I wonder how many more years until a bonus statuette rotation appears? Yeah, true enough. It's mostly one of the things I remember the guaranteed item being, other than the minis and the seasonal bags. But I bothered to look up the historical guaranteed items, and pretty much every thing is better than the mastery coffer. I'd personally like the green dye canisters to return, but material bags, BL claim ticket scraps and minis are all good too. I'll just have to sit through the festival bags - don't really care for those either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gop.8713 Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 That's a fair point actually. I've never spent rl money on gems, and I've never used gems to buy bl keys. So I am basically complaining about something I got for free . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obnoxa.6702 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Just because you don't want them doesn't mean nobody does, not everyone is already done with their masteries - just bank your keys until the next round, you don't have to use them as soon as you get them. /shrug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solvar.7953 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I suspect this is really a side effect of them devaluing the item for the wizards vault (since it was a much better deal with 1 gold for 15 AA vs 1 gold for 30 AA before the last changes), and Anet not looking where else that item is used and the effect of value it has there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when a set date is (anyone who knows feel free to offer it up) but I know blc's typically swap rewards with each festival (Four Winds should be just around the corner, August usually) plus a couple of times randomly so if I had to settle on a number I'd say 6 times a year or every 8 weeks would be a good estimate 🙂 Edited July 16 by Obnoxa.6702 The coffee is still brewing... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinklin.5724 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Looks like it was today, it's showing a Zephyrite supply box instead of the mastery coffer as of logging in this morning. Gave me a quartz crystal and a grey item worth 1g50s which is better than the 10s mastery pots. Thanks all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zera.9435 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I used 71 kitten keys trying to get that kitten sword, and 2 of them were the gold keys. I got a couple hundred gold out of the zephyrite supply boxes alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
