heres a tip, when opening a zaishen chest and u have 1 key dont bother ull need around 50 to get anything good, i had around 60 keys and got about 4 good items rest were crappy golds and sweets

Sell them.

I've opened the chest maybe 100 times (all before the title!) and only got 1 or 2 weapons that were even hero-worthy. The nicest I got was an inscribable req. 9 Celestial Sword.

Of course, you could hit the lottery on your first key, but you're probably better off selling them and just buying whatever you want!

I haven't used my bunch yet, and everyone keeps telling me to sell them and buy lockpicks if I really want to open stuff, but I'm really very tempted to gamble for fun.

Back then when they were 2.5k-3k, people were screaming that its much much much more profitable to sell the keys than to hope for good drops. Now they are 5k each, so...

Overall, the Zaishen Chest is like any chest, most of what you get out of it is crap. If you only open a few chests it's likely you'll be disappointed, but if you open enough of them, and are prepared to spend some time selling the stuff, you can make a profit and/or get some good stuff for your self. (And that applies to any high-end chest, especially in HM)

I used to buy a lot of Z-keys back when I could get them for 2.5k each. A got enough good stuff to make it worthwhile (best was a req9 Magmas Shield).
Now that they go for 5k or so, I don't bother any more. True, you may be able to get an Everlasting Tonic, sell it for lots of gold and still make a profit, but those things are such stupid worthless bits of kiddie crap, I can't be bothered with them (and I'm sure the fad would blow over by the time I got one

)

HAH the only 2 reasons I dumped 300+ keys on the z chest was mainly for one of those tonics, which I never got, and to get r4 z title. Guess I would have been better off selling the keys and just buying the tonic

You're missing Automated Tournaments, which in turn give you faction per kill, faction for winning and reward points which also can be spent to purchase keys
