What's the best anyone has gotten from a royal gift? im just curious.

The best I've ever gotten is a Shining Blade Warhorn in one and 4 lockpicks from another. What about you?

And are they even worth it?

well, the point is to get a mini, because everythings (with the exception of MoH's) suck.

and I've gotten 4 minis (countless stacks of gifts to get them)

Opened 20 gifts so far , got a mini evenia and got 30 e for her : )

Other than that mostly junk like exp scrolls , a few lockpicks and some cons .

Minis from the gifts aren't worth all that much now though , if I gets another ill probably just stick it in my hall.

Mini livia, the rest was well crap besides the warhorns, I kinda like those for VQ areas with a party size of 4.

Two mini Salma's, one mini Evennia... but it took hundreds of Royal Gifts to get them (I was repeating the daily "wanted" bounties using 7 different characters).

I traded one the Salma's for a Livia to complete the set, and all three are now in my HoM. I still take the Wanted bounties sometimes, in the hopes that one of the mantle minis will drop... but the War Supplies just get used as consumables now.

Opened a stack, no mini. I gave up and sold second stack with 130 ectos. According to my luck, it was the best move.

Less than 20 gifts opened, almost all were just lame scrolls or even worse (stars that can't be even merched). The best of them all had 2 Lockpicks in it.

Went through about 120 gifts from the quests. Best drops were a mini livia at around the 116th gift and 2 sets of 5 lockpicks.

Ok gifts were some 1-3 lockpicks, couple consumables and 1 war horn, few medals of honor too, probably 8 or so total

Mostly they were shit. junk scrolls, more junk scrolls, crap lokum type stuff, singular brandies etc..

In the end I decided to get the other two mini's I'd just sell war supplies at 250g each or so, then buy ectos and trade them for the mini's. FAR more profitable to do it that way, selling war supplies or gifts then relying on Anet's shitty drop rate to get you something nice.
