Well I had a bit of an experiment: I sold and bought Z keys from people to make a profit, but asked anyone I sold a key to to let me come with them and see the drops, so I have records of over 75 Z key drops(no SS, sry)
Also sry about lacking full names or reqs sometimes, couldn't always see what others had gotten in time.
Gothic Axe Q11
Emblazoned Defender
Golden Maul
Legendary Sword (q11 and q10 versions)
Ancient Scythe
Embossed Aegis
Fire Prism
Spatha
Jeweled Chakram
Bramble Hornbow
Jeweled Staff
Igneous Maul
Spined Focus
Stonehead Hammer
Sharktooth Shield
Earth Staff

4 tomes
10 firewaters
14 creme brulees
3 different tonics

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to write down what some of the other drops were, but most were crap. Very first Z keys I used got me the Legendary Sword, but after that mainly tons of cremes and firewaters. In my opinion, chances are you are much better off just saving the money to buy a weapon from a person than trying your hand at a Z chest, as you can spend 100k on keys and get back only 20k in value.

You people don't realize this is all a waste of time. You are messing up your probablity. The chance to get a crappy item on first drop is 2/3 about, then next would be 2/3 again, then 2/3 again, and if you actually take the number of rare item drops, it is about 1/250. Probablity is a LIE. Instead of getting 1 out of every 250, you get 1 out of 500 or 1 out of 1 if you are lucky. Its all the computer, and the computer is AGAINST YOU!

As for your statement ^^^^^^, I spent 10k in keys got back 50k. 2 elite rit tomes (holy crap 2 out of 3) and a OK r11 celestial sword.

But, 2 keys:
1 r11 15^enchanted 20/20 20% briarwood scythe
1 firewater.

Watttt...

Alternatively...you could have sold all those for almost 10 million gold. Instead...you use them to um...why did you use them again?

The 3333 keys is great for the percents that were provided. It gives a better Idea as to what the drop rate is like. Might want to provide a link for gw.gamwikis.org and wiki.guildwars so that they can add this data to their figures of drop rates and such.

Nice statistics, I think we can round them and make probabilities assumptions based on those and on previous massive openings. If the real values used by the random generator are round, I think they look like this:

Gold Item .... 30.0%
Reg Tome.... 10.0%
Elite Tome... 2.5%
Tonic.......... 5.0%
Creme......... 25.0%
Flask........... 25.0%
Lockpick...... 2.5%
TOTAL:....... 100.0%

Now i am not exactly sure how much everything is worth, but i can make up a few values to get the reward probability outcome.
Golds: 300 gold on average at 0.3
Tome: 100 gold on average at 0.1
ETome: 10000 gold on average 0.025
Tonic: 200 gold on average at 0.05
Creme: 300 gold on average at 0.25
Flask: 200 gold on average at 0.25
Lockpick: 1250 gold on average at 0.025.
Now the average gain/loss can be calculated via:
0.3*300+0.1*100+0.025*10000+0.05*200+300*0.25+0.25 *200+0.025*1250
= 516 approximately
Therefore for sellers and buyers to trade evenly they should be sold at that.
If my estimations were incorrect plz correct them and a more accurate final value can be determined.
If we take into account gold weapons that can actually be sold for a large amount we can approximate it this way (although rather roughly). We know that it takes at least 3333 keys to get anything remotely good. Lets say that u can sell that at 500000 gold. 500 000 / 3333 = 150. 150+516= 666.
THen that is the price zaishen keys should be sold at.

Did you make profit? Really amazing that you spended so much keys but thats really lots of cash how much are that keys worth 2,5k ea?

thats its

3333x2,5=8333,2K cash :S but if you got any mods good stuff sold things for much and got maybe lots of cash already but you see 3333 keys and still no crystalline.. maybe someone use 1 key and then a crystalline sword :S

But then it wouldnt be from balthazar faction like you said.

still 16665 reward points alone of some combination, just assuming that that would take quite a bit of effort to get although i dont predict so i dunno how many it gives

anyways lets stop, it doesnt really matter if he bought them or not does it?

It won't stop. Not when it gives players more of a reason to stay and play their game.
Yes it can be bought - but not everyone buys the keys. Not every Guild Wars player is a millionaire.
