Make a 6k point at day by elite zaishen and buy 1key at day. It's simple

5k balth = 1 key right? I'm a 100% PvE player, I'm not into PvP, and therefore suck at it, and therefore unwilling to play it.
But even I can make 2k balthazar a day in under 20 minutes by doing the zaishen pvp training twice every day.
I used to do that for unlocking skills, and then acquiring them with tomes.
Now I'm gonna spend these on zaishen keys, sell those for 4.5k, and make 9k for every 10k balthazar.
9k = 9 skills @ trainer >>> 10 unlocked skills plus 10 tomes @ 500g/µ (5k) IF you manage to get any.
I love these keys, and I hope people will stay stupid enough to buy them @ 4-5k each, for lousy drops. =D
I know I'll never buy or use them myself

papryk · Dec 12, 2007, 10:52 AM // 10:52

People are paying 5k for them (basically)

Ec]-[oMaN · Dec 12, 2007, 07:39 PM // 19:39

I've burned through at least 40+keys and sold 20+. Of over 40+keys not one item dropped that was worth over 10k and mods on the items were never maxed either, you stand to probably make more selling the keys then hoping for a decent drop worth maybe 100K+ some odd ecto if you're lucky. If I sold the 60 keys I'd rake in 300k enough to buy whatever rare item I wanted anyways.

Living La Vida Loca · Dec 12, 2007, 08:56 PM // 20:56

don't compare to each other about what u got, look at the market, that chest is killing some of the remaining rare skin and fun of game play. ppl use to spend hours in ha, uw, to beat all the quest or other team to have a chance of getting rare item drop from the chest, it takes time, skill and exp. but now ppl just ab(mostly), ra or ta, some even leech there and able to get lots of keys by the end of the day, and if they are lucky, there will be a rare drop out of nowhere. some of them won't even make it to a ha team, or be able to beat uw or other elite area, they spent time alright, but do they really deserve to have the rare skin?
p.s. i still respect ppl that actually enjoy pvp and ppl that farm or trade for the rare skin

Mordakai · Dec 12, 2007, 10:11 PM // 22:11

People who still care about rare skins being "uber" rare are setting themselves up for disapointment.

The longer the game goes on, the less rare a skin will be. That's just common sense. I think most people have dealt with it by now.

That is what I am doing... never opened the chest, and probably never will unless keys go less than 1k (so its worth just openning). I sell for 4k per and it really adds up.

As much as I want to deny the fact, I have to realize that it's very true.

But isn't the chest a tad bit of a slap in the face to all the people who farmed elite areas to get these skins, and now they're just readily available?

Im Using The Force · Dec 14, 2007, 01:06 AM // 01:06

heh There are 3 rare items in the game Kanaxai & Roller Beetle Mini Pets & Roller Beetle Transmogrifers.
The Zaishen keys have led to an increase in leeching in AB...where reporting someone for leeching serves no real purpose aside from calling them out as a leecher to the people in that particular game.

azizul1975 · Dec 14, 2007, 03:28 AM // 03:28

beware.... i saw a person scamming at kamadan, selling zaishen token 200gold each in a bunch of 5 , saying u can exchange 5 zaishen token for 1 zaishen key key... i think some people fell prey for it.

And you get crap out of these chest too. They aren't designed to be "gold givers". Just something people spend our extra Balth. Points on.

Plus the keys are already dropped 1.7k(3.3k atm), so it's probably gonna drop to 1k a piece.

wooky · Dec 16, 2007, 12:12 AM // 00:12

destroys the price of rare drops.. this game used to be great 2-3 years ago.

Queenie · Dec 16, 2007, 01:56 AM // 01:56

I've bought 3 Zaishen keys and I've gotten total trash drops out of the chest.
So no, I don't think they're worth it.

Solus Spartan · Dec 16, 2007, 02:59 AM // 02:59

No effort required, chance of rares. The chest is stupid, not thought out and destroyed the economy for the majority.
