It's funny though, how the chest supposedly drops all these tasty weapons, yet nobody ever manages to take a screenie. Would probably be the first thing I did if I got a nice drop.

First thing i'd do is pick it up incase i get disconnected.

Personally, if I dropped a crystalline from the chest I would just be shouting in guild chat about how lucky I am, and wouldn't really care about taking a screen. Just to let you notice it: how many "high end" weps are on sale in this days on GWG? Never seen so many Stygian Reavers before. Never. Coincidence? Of course not. I know you trying to save the "economy" in GW, but I really had a laugh thinking about the guy who bought the first q9 eternal blade...now, 1 month ago I wanted a gothic dual axe q9 +15^50, because I saved up the 100+20e needed for that...now I will just wait a bit more, till the price will drop to something like 60k for r9 ones lol (personally I don't care if it is inscribable or not, just want it because it fits my look). So well....just surrend to the evidence.

Yeah thats exactly what i did, and it is pretty obvious that there are much more of these things simply by looking at guru sell forums or even by going into kamadan and seeing more than usual and lower prices. Ive had a bunch of people in my alliance say theyve gotten a reaver or a crystalline or something else pretty rare in the last couple days.

It seems just luck of the draw with what u get from the chests, a lot of people use 100 keys get nothing, others use 10 and get a crystalline, but bottom line is they are dropping out of that chest a lot more often than HoH was giving them out, and the prices are gonna keep dropping

Grim cesta (req 13)
Flask of firewater X2
Creme X1
Key X2
Elite ritualist tome.

Overall no matter what it is its better then buying a bazajillion tournament tokens.

Ahh so true. If theirs one thing WoW has on GW its an economy that doesnt suck.

Hopefully anet learns their lesson from GW1: It doesnt matter how much you try to save it and how much you nerf farming: without a viable in-game market/auction system that can be afk'd, an economy is going to fail. Communication among buyers/seller's is a major key to a fair economy.

That's also the players, not just the system. If you try to talk to anyone who is trading in this game unless it's saying 'yes I will pay what you ask', they give you a tirade of insults about how they know what they are doing and to shut the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO up, or they put you on ignore.

Gotta love buying a high end weapon in the morning and by night time its lots 75% of its value, so much so that it looks like the entire High End Thread may contain nothing other than Mini-Pets inside of a week!!

Spent 100K testing the lucky dip system. 20 keys yielded :

2 creme brulees
7 firewater
2 transmogrifier tonics (ugh - instantly destroyed them)
regular Monk Tome
regular Necro Tome
regular Rit Tome
regular Assassin Tome
5 crappy gold items
(the only things I kept from the golds was an R9 Canthan Fire Staff (5-10K if I am lucky) and a 19% Forget Me Not.

For me the experience was a big /FAIL but curiousity lured me in

LOL that is indeed epic fail for you, and also for real results i think with so much variation you would need to use about 500+ for some close to accurate

This is pretty interesting. The chest was opened hundreds of thousands times and no such rarity came out? All the items we know have other drop sources, like Eternal Blade dropping from UW chest and Crystallines, Stygian Reavers and most other goods drop from HoH chest.

Meh, no use for money so I spent about 600k on keys.

It took a long time for the first mini ghostly to drop from the HoH chest. It may take even longer for mini Jora to drop from the Zaishen chest...

I Agree but it gets annoying as hell when people post false info like that moron posting a sundering crystalline of fortitude and that other idiot who posted that fake req 7 one.

I think most of the stuff being sold(besides the eternals) is just people panicing about the market about to fall apart :P
Everyones trying to sell stuff as high as they can XD

I love how people just don't get it at all.

When you get a drop from the chest, it is reserved for you.
Below the Name/Type of item and the description (unidentified, etc) are some simple little words everyone wants to see in the picture...

RESERVED FOR XXXXXXXXX

When it comes to certain high end items....

Showing a picture of you next to the chest and an item on ground means nothing.
Showing a picture of you with the text "XXXXXX has picked up XXXXXXXXXXXXX" means nothing.

Until someone posts a picture with the "Reserved for... " text any high end items posted in pics are going to assume be fake pics.

Yes there is an increase of high end sales of crystallines and eternal blades, but that doesn't mean anything. Sorry to say. Its the same with spreading rumors, it will lower the price. Look how many Forum auctions there were for the Terror Shield when it supposedly was added.

If you get nice drop from chest, Crystalline, Eternal Blade, etc... Congrats and good for you, but if you're gonna post a pic, post a pic with the "Reserved for" text.

Someone actually did it right!

These images can still be faked, obviously, but they are better proof than the previous pics.

Assuming it isn't fake, congrats on the drop.

No you aren't alone, I hate the skin aswell, along with ele swords and other "high-end" items, not because I can't afford them, they look unrealistic and like toys (ele sword, fiery/icy blade axes, stygian reaver, etc).

As for the chest and people QQ'n about it destroying the already nonexistent economy, stop whining. If you think WoW is so much better go play it and get off of the GW fansites. If you can't tell, Anet added this to increase the amount of PvP players and give bored players something to do and work for. People always think it's the apocalypse everytime Anet does something, try to see this from Anet's point of view.

On the subject of the item being "Reserved for XXXXX" surely it will only be reserved if you leave the temple with another 'human' party member? If you go out solo or with heros, then i thought that no reserved text comes up, being as its not possible to have your items stollen by your heros - although is anyone else suspicious of vekk?

Great point. I personally would never trust anybody/anything who constantly calls me a Bookah. I use Zhed, Sousuke, and a fast casting Norgu as my 3 eles if I need to use 3 eles.

Creme brulees, firewater....

If i wanted to eat sugar, I would do it in person. If I wanted to get drunk, I'd do that person too.

Please anet, get these lame useless items (and titles linked to them) out of the game.

Nope, it still says reserved when you go out with no one / heroes.

100 TRPs = 20 keys.
100k faction = 20 keys.

40x5k = 200k

I think I'd sooner take that than brulees.

I agree with you, on both topics - and i would like to say, probably against the numbers, that i think the introduction of the Zaishen Chest is excellent, and that even though it may drop undesirable items (firewater) i think it is a really good insentive to get people to play more PvP. I was a PvE-er though and though before the chest got added, and being lured in by the prospect of good items form the chest, have really enjoyed playing PvP to gain the faction.

My drops have been just as bad as others:
-2x Firewater
-1x req9 Holy Staff (inscribable)
-1x req13 Pyrewood Staff
