Sol VIII.6812 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Bravo, ArenaNet...you made something so cute, that I really want it....But why is it an account-bound item!? I have really bad luck with the chests (probably because I once got a permanent bank access from a free key) and would even love to buy it for ~800 gems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovinnik.9216 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'm bummed out, too. I'd have loved to sell mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseofGilead.8907 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I bought gems for the first time in close to a year to try to get it. Thankfully, I was lucky and got it after about 12 keys. I, too, hate having skins from black lion chests be account bound. Things like that should be tradeable, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmirkDog.3160 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I got lucky and got one after maybe 10 keys? It was early in the morning so I can't really remember. I didn't spend a lot but honestly it was worth it. It would be nice to at least have them be traded or sold on the TP, but then again people would probably try to sell them for way more than the price of converting gold to gems for keys. Sometimes you just gotta get lucky or be willing to spend the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Included in the BL chest not long ago was the Black Lion Exclusives Chest. It contains all the account-bound items that had dropped in the themed BL chests since the start. It's a tradeable item that removes the randomization factor. If ANet makes this a pattern and keeps release an equivalent for each 5-7 months worth of account bound RNG skins, it means we'll end up with some good options:The impatient & "feeling lucky" crowd can spend some gems to get the skin when it is first made available.The really impatient & "why is the drop rate so low" contingent can spend a ton of gems.The rest of us can wait to get lucky on getting the Exclusives Chest as a drop or purchasing it on the TP.ResourcesGW2 BLTC website for pricingWiki for notesList of Contents (available via links above, but who wants to click a link when someone else will do the work for you?)Grasping Phantom Glider Mini Celestial Rooster Infinirarium Glider Candelabra Staff Skin Bitterfrost Vantage Point Noran's Safe Room Pass and Key Elemental Sword Skin Sworn Zaishen Helm Skin Hounds of Balthazar Mail Carriertl;dr there's a decent chance we'll be able to get jackal pup backpack and hydra skins from the TP in a few months.
