Sarpan.9074 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 As the title asks. Is there an achievement associated with having a certain number of them? Or are they just betting on getting some rare, random drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarpan.9074 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Simple at that, eh? Well, I'm not much of a gambler so I'll just sell them and take the sure thing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Or the items needed for some of the achievements. Like foods and zhaitaffy and drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near as I can tell, that still ends up being cheaper to buy directly than using the chests. Right now, based on the wiki's drop rate (based on "only" 1600 coffers), the contents are valued at ~25s/coffer while the coffers are trading at 40-49s each.That 25s/coffer assumes you get an average number of jorbreakers (not a given unless you open tons of coffers) and it assumes you get at least one rare drop (also not a good assumption).Unless you expect to get lucky (spoiler alert: you won't; some other player who doesn't deserve it will be the one)Sell the chests, use the proceeds to buy what you need.(To be even more efficient, sell the chests "now," and buy what you need in 2-4 weeks, when prices have dropped.)

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Yeah, after posting that, I decided since the items are all (or mostly) able to be purchased, it wasn't my best thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother.1504 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Winna winna chicken dinna. It’s the endorphin rush of possibly winning big. Heard someone describe gw2 reward system as “ the feel good slot machine.” Those super rare infusions are very attractive to lots of people.

SexyMofo.8923 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I miss all the shots I don’t take. So I open all of them and I won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustTrogdor.7892 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 They buy them to transfer their gold to me when I sell every single one I get on the TP. Not falling for the, "I'm going to get something great from these if I open enough," itch has made me a fair amount of gold. :sunglasses: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynder.2509 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Sadly, I don't know either as you get more than enough already from the Dragon Bash event itself. My guess is that some Youtubers/Streamers do that to have something to make a video about. I've seen quite a lot of videos of "opening 250 xxx chests" so I guess it's interesting to watch people gamble. Strangely, I didn't see WP doing that but then on the other hand I'm reminded that WP is actually for the lore or other news about the game. You can't really make a video or stream about this game apart from PvP, Raids or WvW which is quite sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I've been opening them hoping for a Teq Horde or Aurine weapon but alas.. no luck.I got pretty lucky with Black Lion chests recently though so I can't be salty.I am a little salty that I accidentally screwed up one of the mini Skyscale recipies though and threw my first bioluminecent Skyscale into the forge for a generic exotic mini I already had >.< that hurt lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khisanth.2948 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I just open the ones I get and if I get a Jorbreaker I sell it to buy more coffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was an accident that didn't result in you getting a skin you didn't already have, I'd think support would be understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
