Chest Results

Each chest will always have a ToT bag occupying its slot so you are only getting 2 random items. When you get an uncommon or rare item, you will get a 4th slot.

Here are the results from opening 102 chests (I got the glider twice so it gave me an extra key instead)

Wardrobe Unlock Chest

---

A random wardrobe unlock item has been added to the chest. This will unlock a weapon, armor piece, backpack, outfit, dye, glider, miniature, or finisher at random, guaranteed to be something you do not yet have. This does not include rewards exotic or better but does include all Black Lion – style items prior to September.

Here is a preview of the Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock, it will different for everyone based on their account unlocks

Caution

---

While the revamp to BLC chest is refreshing, it does contain exclusive account bound rewards so you are forced to gamble with RNG if you want the exclusive skin from it. Today it is a glider skin, tomorrow it could be something else.

If you ever played some of the eastern MMOs in the recent years, you know how badly their RNG boxes can be. You could be spending hundreds and not get the items you want. Hopefully GW2 will not go into that route (looking at you Archeage and BNS)

Also don't forget that a few months back they tried some form of this with account bound Privateer weapon skins.
