Zaishen Chest Drop rate - Guild Wars Forums

GregatizeMeCap'n · Mar 12, 2009, 01:30 AM // 01:30

i was wondering, since i always get junk from the zchest, is there anyway to raise the chance of getting rare items? ive wasted 28k on zaishen keys and only got about 2k worth of stuff and it makes me mad.

No way to raise the chance as far as I know. It all depends on your luck.

lol 28K talk to the ppl that spend upwards of 200K on keys and get nothing

Repeat after me:

I WILL NEVER MAKE MONEY OFF THE ZAISHEN CHEST AND AM AN IDIOT FOR TRYING.

Zodiac Meteor · Mar 12, 2009, 02:08 AM // 02:08

/looks back at spending 300k

jiggles · Mar 12, 2009, 02:11 AM // 02:11

its a gamble, you know what a gamble is right? I've spent 434k on it so far, most expensive thing i got sold for about 100k+9e. So yeah your 28k aint that much to be complaining about

Taixen · Mar 12, 2009, 02:28 AM // 02:28

I've used just over 200 keys now, best drops being Elite Ritualist Tome*1, R9 Gothic Sword =/.

You'll very likely never make money, unless you got an Everlasting within your first few keys and stopped, causing angry people on R5/6 with no Everlasting tonic to hunt you down :P.

just try to be one of those people that get an everlasting in the first 20~

XD

go cubs · Mar 12, 2009, 02:37 AM // 02:37

yah people have used 600+ keys without anything worth anything
personally ive had ok luck...spent about 800k on keys and about 300k back which is lucky** yah i know scary 500k loss and lucky xD

Green Chiken · Mar 12, 2009, 02:41 AM // 02:41

My Opinion: Since people are buying and selling keys at 3.5k right now, i use mine since youl make nothing selling them. From this week i used 6 and all were gold weaps including a celestial sheld, only one were the creme things. So i think just use them and hope for the best

warrior running · Mar 12, 2009, 03:38 AM // 03:38

It's all random u can gt everlasting first or never

HawkofStorms · Mar 12, 2009, 04:00 AM // 04:00

Think of it this way..... if EVERYBODY made a profit off the z-chest, then keys would just cost more (otherwise, people would just open the chest themselves rather then selling the keys and making less money).

Bobulation · Mar 12, 2009, 04:03 AM // 04:03

lol 28k, i recently used 377 keys and didn't get one drop worth selling.

and before that i had already used 560 keys and still not had one thing worth sellling, so unless you have extra money or really, really want the emote, just stay away from the chest =D

Shadow Slave · Mar 12, 2009, 04:12 AM // 04:12

Now I know I'm not the only one that runs in there with no Armor or Weapons and types /beg.........

Am I ? =/

Luminarus · Mar 12, 2009, 04:19 AM // 04:19

As hawk said... their cant be an absurd profit from the ZChest. You have to make a loss, otherwise everyone would do it. As it is the value of the zkeys is basically equalled against the value of the average return, + title points + possibility of making money.

Eragon Zarroc · Mar 12, 2009, 04:24 AM // 04:24

people complain about everyone getting z-keys enough as it is from tourny predictions. No thanx for better drops when keys are so abundant. drop rates reflect the availibility of keys.

Winterclaw · Mar 12, 2009, 05:19 AM // 05:19

To me, the main point of Zkeys is title grind and selling them to people who want their Zchest title.

Nanood · Mar 12, 2009, 06:16 AM // 06:16

Wasn't the z-chest designed as a gold sink anyway.. You can just add your spent gold to the never ending stream of disappearing gold going into that naughty chest.

the z-chest is NOT a gold sink, because it does NOT remove money from the game! It just re-arranges where the current in-game gold is located.

tadevil · Mar 12, 2009, 06:49 AM // 06:49

Wow, only 28K!!? That's a lot!! I got all the way to r5 and got nothing of value just merch food, consider yourself lucky, it is just a gold sink if you get profit back good for you but if you can't afford it and a measly cry over 28k don't do it.
