"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I got mine the 2nd time i opened the chest, sold it for 60 Zkeys, and got called a few choice words by some of my guild mates, but ive never seen anything decent from that chest since, probably got my drunkard title worth of firewater from it though haha, dont do the z-chest no more.

Used just under 1,000 keys and have gotten two EL Tonics, Gelatinous and Phantasmal. I got both of them before hitting 500 keys and have not seen another since.

I've used at least 700 keys over the years on multiple accounts and never got a EL tonic.

I hate the z chest. Probably opened it 500 times. Did get some golds with usable mods. About it. Firewater, Creme Brulee, etc. Not open stingy chest no more.

I could very well be mistaken, but I thought it had been confirmed that any PVE skin could drop from the zchest.

There are a few dozen PvE skins that don't come from the zchest.

Gothic Defenders, Amber Wands/Staves, Jade Wands/Staves, Outcast items, Crescent Staves, Chrysocola Staves, Violet Edges, Jade Axes, Jade Hammers are some that I can think of off the top of my head.

After watching a friend open that chest 10k times and opening it myself a few thousand, I'm pretty sure none of the skins designated to specific dungeons (emerald, bds, etc) can pop from the chest. I've also never heard anyone say they got such skin from it. Of course, neither me nor my friend got an obsidian edge, either, and I know those come from it...

I'm curious if crys still pop from the chest; they were almost common during its first few weeks, but I haven't heard of any in ages.

Very first time I opened it I got an EL Unseen Tonic. I also know someone who got an EL Beetle Juice their second time opening it yet people have used 10k+ keys and have yet to see one. Its completely random and all about luck.

I got to about 8k points when i got my el tonic (it was a cerebral). Currently at 13k~ and haven't seen another yet lol. I did get an r11 crystalline though, so that was pretty cool.

I'm only on 1600 points, never had one drop, only good drop I had was a r13 CC, and that's hardly a great drop.

Got all the way to r9 with none.

Stopped at r9 as that was my goal, and started to use x3 services.

After using around 300 hits on the chest, post r9, I found 2 sekeletonics in a row.

The chest is random.

So I'm led to believe.

I stopped using the chest a while back (when the 5 Zkeys per account for the Xunlai House were added after its closure).

The very last set of 5 keys dropped an EL Freezie for me (just after I wrote in Guild Chat that I only get crap out of the chest ). That was just at the start of rank 4.

Got to rank 3...not only did I not get any EL tonics, got NOTHING that is of any great value. So yeah the "if not for bad luck..." statement applies here as well.

I used the chest 100's of times before the title came out, when z-keys were 2k a pop...never anything good. Post-title, I used it until R3 and still nothing good. Recently, I used a x3 service for nearly 1M worth of chests (>500 chests with 3x), and I've gotten 2 EL skeletonics (same service Wilderness used too by coincedence). So yeah, total luck and randomness.
