Something tells me the ''yet to be seen'' items have not been implemented yet cause surely by now we would've heard about it no matter how rare it is. Maybe by wintersday we'll have the new items in the chest??

I dont think thats true...
-The mini ghostly was put in the HoH chest a while before the first one was found.
- These few new items might be even rarer and plus the chest has only been out for a little more than a week.

Looking through the dat, it looked like perma-Wintersday and perma-Halloween tonics were added in the same area as the Zaishen Key. Doesn't mean they're the superspecial item though. And no sign of an everlasting beetle tonic there either.

Just to stay on topic: 3 more random junk brulees. I haven't gotten anything else since then.

We're still waiting on the design a weapon contest weapons, so the yet to be seen items will probably be those, well they should be otherwise when will they ever get implemented!

No idea what the implementation will be...

Just curious, but how do you know the Ghostly Mini was implemented before it dropped?

It may be true that it took 3 weeks to appear after being introduced to the HoH chest, but if you consider that the Zaishen chest is being opened many, many more times a day than the HoH chest then surely something new should have popped out of it by now?
Personally I hope the new ultra rare Zaishen chest items are all Warrior gear, just to keep up with tradition

I don't get this. Is this something new to the game? How do you get to the chest and unlock it?

They know how often the HoH chest can be opened in a given day; it's pretty easy actually since it's on a static 12 minute cycle. Max of 960 opens a day (minus heroes and NOP), one mini Ghostly every 3 weeks is ~1:20,000 odds.

I'm told they did some pretty thorough calculations on just how many reward points and how much faction is earned in a day, and based the rarity of the ultra Zaishen chest drop on that. Considering that faction is also spent on unlocks and reward points on PvP gear, it could be quite some time before we find out what the rare drop from the Zaishen Chest is, if they wanted to give it a comparable rarity to the mini Ghostly.

Cashed in my reward points from the Xunlai Tournament House for 20 keys.
5 Creme Brulee
3 Tonics(yuletide, transmogrifier, beetle)
1 Lockpick
7 Rare weapons(Stygian Reaver, Ungula Axe, Sai, Hooked Daggers, Gladius, Bramble Longbow, Reinforced Defender-Motivation Req.)
2 regular tomes(Me, E)
2 Flasks of Firewater

The Stygian Reaver was req. 9, inscribable. Furious and Brawn over Brains, but I'll probably mod it otherwise.

No screenshot. Believe it or not, I don't mind either way.

I just had a lockpick drop from the Zaishen chest....and that I really don't get. That they can drop as freebies from hidden treasure ok, but to open a high end chest only to get a key for another chest....that's just lame to me. I used it and got a normal ele tome...grand.

Why does everyone thinks EVERY drop is known to the Guru Community. A lot of competent players I've met never heard of Guru. There could be a handful of Ghostly minipets out there without us knowing it.

I once bought a Crystalline back in the goold old days for 10k, the poor guy didn't know its rarity... Things like this can happen to the ultra rare drop we are all waiting for.

What Ensign was talking about wasn't anything about the Guru community. Anet put the Ghostly in the chest 3 weeks before it came out. The "they" in his post referred to Anet, not guru. "They" can calculate how many times hoh gets opened, in fact any of us can it's timed. I remember Gaile's post about how they were waiting till it appeared.

About Ghostly minis running around unknown....possible if they are unused or on inactive accounts, and how likely that an innactive has a ghostly? Possible, yes. Likely, no. Have you been around a ghostly? I have, it's nuts. Whole district goes insane "OMG this guy has a ghostly!!1! Where? holy crap can I see?/??" They can hardly sneak around unless they never put them out, and then why have em?

Your one of the lucky ones. 50 keys, not a single r9, not a single rare gold.

about a week ago, i decided to buy a key for 4k to see what all the commotion was, and got a normal mesmer tome -.-

to people out there, if youre like me and dont PvP often enough to get a good stash of keys, heres my suggestion: unless youre rolling in riches, sell the keys. they usually go for about 4-5k in great temple of balthazar, which, IMHO, is better than taking a huge risk and wasting something worth that much on some random consumable or a tome.
