> **Shrine Guardian Appearance Package** 2000 gems

 

**Retail Values: 1950 gems plus choice of [Onyx & Gold BL Weapon skins](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Onyx_Lion_weapon_skins)**

 

* [shrine Guardian Outfit](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shrine_Guardian_Outfit) 700 gems

* [Mini Shrine Guardian](https://imgur.com/a/PRHZHVf) 400 gems

* [Onyx & Gold Black Lion Weapon Choice](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Onyx_and_Gold_Lion_Weapon_Choice) (not available directly; you choose a weapon type & unlock the gold & onyx lion version of it)

* 5x [Crimson Lion Dye Kits](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crimson_Lion_Dye_Kit) 500 gems (none of the exclusive colors are currently valued above 10g, and those aren't guaranteed drops).

* [Total Makeover Kit](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Total_Makeover_Kit) 350 gems

 

Given that the exclusive dye colors are cheap on the TP now, I don't recommend this for anyone _unless_ they want that choice of Onyx & Gold skins, in which case this is an acceptable deal. If you don't really care about that, just buy the items you want directly.

##### Natural Disaster Tools (1000 gems each)

* [Earthshaker Mining](

) comes with Tailor's Glyph.

* [Firestorm Logging](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Firestorm_Logging_Tool) comes with Industry Glyph

* [Thunderstrike Harvesting](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Thunderstrike_Harvesting_Tool) comes with Leatherworker's Glyph.

 

##### Maths:

* [Glyph of Industry](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glyph_of_Industry_(Unused)) runs from 300-400 gold on the trading post, which would convert to 900-1200 gems. (If you already have 1000 gems, you'd get around 225-230 gold, not enough to buy the glyph.)

* [Leatherworker Glyph ](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glyph_of_the_Leatherworker_(Unused))runs at ~180 gold, roughly 550 gems after converting, so not a bargain unless you specifically want both.

* [Tailor glyph](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glyph_of_the_Tailor_(Unused)) is valued around 95 gold, around 270 gems.

 

##### Recommendations

* Firestorm Logging is a great choice if you want the glyph, because you get the tool for at or below the cost as buying the upgrade alone on the TP.

* Thunderstrike Harvesting is not a bargain, unless you already want both.

* The Earthshaker Mining doesn't have any special financial valuation, besides looking good while breaking up rocks.

 

_(I rewrote the post entirely due to mismatch of glyphs; confirmed all the data via wiki, main GW2 page, and Dulfy.) (Do let me know via personal message if it needs another edit.)_

_(Also thanks to @"WyvrnRipsnarl.5918", whose timely correction I saw only after I finished publishing my corrections.)_

**Wedding Preparation: 1560 Gems**

Retail Value: 2150 gems

 

* [Wedding Outfit](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wedding_Attire_Outfit): ~~1000~~ 750 gems

* [Name Change Contract](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Name_Change_Contract): 800 gems

* [Total Makeover Kit](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Total_Makeover_Kit): 350 Gems

* [bouquet of Roses](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bouquet_of_Roses): 250 gems

* Teleport to Friend x5 (not sold separately)

 

This is one of the best package deals the gem shop offers (as always, assuming you want everything). It's almost a good deal if you want just the outfit and the name change contract, since those alone sell separately for ~~1800~~ 1550 gems.

 

_Caveat: it's theoretically possible to spend less, **if** you can get to the outfit via vouchers (when on sale last, they cost 630 gems or less) and the name change contract has been sold for 600 gems within the last year. Even then, 1560 gems is a good price if you also wanted the makeover kit & the bouquet. And, of course, this is theoretical: there's no guarantee if or when those discount prices will become available in the future._

**Season 1 Memory Box: Flame & Festivals: 200 gems (10 for 1500)**

**Season 1 Memory Box: Scarlet vs LA: 200 gems (10 for 1500)**

 

The market value of these is tricky to estimate, because the values of the drops are going to drop this month (due to renewed availability of the contents), the drops rates of the high value items are low, and, well, the community is fickle about how important any of this is.

 

Instead, here's my generic advice for RNG loot boxes:

* **Do not buy** to get a bargain on specific items or a huge windfall in selling your drops. You are better waiting a few days and buying things on the TP.

* **Do buy** only if you like the thrill of anticipation just before opening, when _anything_ can happen (but usually, you'll just get the _el cheapo_ drops).

 

****

**Sprocket Highlights**

>! Both boxes offer the [bL Commemorative Sprocket](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Commemorative_Sprocket) as a consolation prize (wiki says 1-5, but realistically, you need to assume 1). Like BL Statuettes, you can choose your reward. Of these, the most interesting economically are:

>! * Decorative Molten Jetpack: 100 sprockets, currently trading at 110-230 gold, ~1.7g per token

>! * Scarlet's Kiss: 60 sprockets, currently trading at 70-100 gold, ~1.4g per token

>! * [southsun Remembrance Package](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Southsun_Remembrance_Package): 25 sprockets, contains eight skins. The package itself trades at 49-68 gold, nearly 2-2.3g/token if you can sell it.

>! * [Holographic Dragon Wing Cover](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Holographic_Dragon_Wing_Cover): 20 sprockets. Currently trading at 55-70g, ~3g/token.

>! * [Gift of Blades](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Blades): 3 sprockets. Can't be traded, but if you're making the ascended spinal blades, this saves you about 3 gold per token by avoiding the expensive crafting components.

>! * 100x Blade Shards: 1 sprocket. Likewise, if you need shards, this is cheaper than converting watchwork sprockets, saving over 3g per token.

>! * Selfless & Thoughtless Tonics. 10 sprockets each; this is the only current source.

>! * Gift of Ascension. 4 sprockets. Good choice if you're working on fractal titles, since it saves a chunk of relics.

**Flame & Festivals Memory Box Drop Highlights**

>! * [Monocle](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Monocle_(consumable)): (rare drop; bound) these are currently selling at 70-100g (price will drop).

>! * Minis (rare drops, bound): [Colossus](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Holographic_Colossus), [Firestorm](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Molten_Firestorm), [Helmed Moa Racer](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Helmed_Moa_Racer)

 

**Scarlet vs LA Memory Box Drop Highlights**

>! * [southsun Beach Mini Container](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Southsun_Beach_Mini_Container) (rare), includes [Mini Southsun Kasmeer](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Southsun_Kasmeer) & [Mini Southsun Faren](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Southsun_Faren), together worth around 12 gold.

>! * [scarlet's Veil](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scarlet%27s_Veil_Skin) & [Rainbow](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scarlet%27s_Rainbow) (rare drops each, bound). The Rifle trades for 600-800 gold, so getting the drop is a huge savings.

 

**Data from a Mere 30 Boxes**

>! Poster didn't mention how many of each type, although their image includes both.

>! Source: https://redd.it/aoiuos includes very few notable drops:

>! * 380 sprockets (most from rare drops)

>! * 44 Pristine Spores

>! * 3 Infinite Berserker Tonics

>! * 1 Infinite Aetherized Tonic

>! * 1 Mini Helmed Moa

> **Black Lion Keys and Scrap Package** 900 gems (10 keys and 2 Ticket scraps)

[Detailed math](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/23470/black-lion-keys-amp-scrap-package-the-math)

tl;dr version:

* This is a great deal for those who normally buy keys.

* This isn't enough of a deal to convince anyone else to buy keys for the first time.

 

> **Elite Reinforcements Package** 3000 gems. [Wiki](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elite_Reinforcements_Package)

**Retail Values: 6200 gems**

 

* [black Lion Instant Level 80 Ticket](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Instant_Level_80_Ticket) 2000 gems

* [Central Tyria Waypoint Unlock Cache](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Central_Tyria_Waypoint_Unlock_Cache) 2000 gems

* [Character Slot Expansion](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Character_Slot_Expansion) 800 gems

* (2) [bag Slot Expansion](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bag_Slot_Expansion) 800 gems (400 eaches)

* [bank Tab Expansion](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bank_Tab_Expansion) 600 gems

 

This is a great deal **if** you want everything on the list. The Insta-80 and all-core-WP items alone retail for 4k total. I'd say an ideal customer for the package is someone with a friend who is a GW2 vet and wants to "catch up" (or a vet wanting to play one of their alt accounts without going through the usual steps).

 

> **Infinite Unbound Magic Gathering Tools** 2700 gems

In my opinion, this is a really good option for someone's first infinite-use tool set. The animations are among the quickest of any skins available (in some contexts, the fastest; in others, 'merely' competitive in speed). The bonus unbound magic can be monetized and is useful for people buying LS3 trinkets etc.
