Beta Characters get a copy of your account, which makes this week's beta event a good opportunity to financially ruin your account for science. So I went ahead and gambled. Like a good scientist, I'm writing my results down right here.

I will submit these results to the official wiki, and interested communities ([fast] and OTC). Please don't re-submit them there.

I made screenshots before/after every batch, and on every bonus BLC drop. Due to disk space constraints, I was unable to record video.

Not very valuable. There are better options for turning Trade Contracts + Karma into gold.

Trade Contracts

Each costs 25 Eyes of Kormir. Decide for yourself if it's worth the hassle of daily conversion and destroying miniatures, for very minor profit.

Who would have thought that something named after Kormir was useless?

238 Fluctuating Mass

Screenshots before, after

If you truly believe I'm going to count all that, you're mistaken. The valuable stuff is in the bottom left corner.

175 Black Lion Chests / Keys

Starting out with none of the exclusive drops unlocked. The common drop shown ingame as "2 Black Lion Statuettes" appears to yield 2-4 Statuettes. Every chest drops one guaranteed Statuette and one seasonal item (currently Evon's Trick or Treat bag), which I didn't bother to write down.

tl;dr: 12 bonus drops out of 175 keys, that's 1 in ~14.3. But the "exclusives" appear to be more common than other "uncommon" items..
