Zone Completion Rewards?

[Lankybrit.4598]

Hi,

 

What determines if as zone completion gives a Black Lion Key? I haven't got one on my latest character I'm doing map completion for ages?

 

Thanks.

AFAIK, it is always a chance to get one never guaranteed. You can get them from town completion and from level 80 maps.

It's random. There's never been enough _published_ data to reliable determine a rate. We have presumed that the rates are identical across maps, but that was never confirmed by ANet. People who do loads of map completion have reported their personal rates to be anywhere from 20% to 40%, with many people claiming it's 25%.

 

If the true rate is indeed 25%, then the chance of getting the gift of exploration and only receiving 0, 1, or 2 keys is about 3%. So it's not even notably bad luck to get so few: with 1000s and 1000s of world completions in this game, many of us our likely to be that unlucky.

Thanks. I thought it was just from higher zones, but I completed a few and didn't get them. Just a bit of a bad luck string I'm on now, I guess.

It's roughly a 20% chance for a Key upon completing a map. This **excludes** Town/City maps and Southsun Cove.

How do these map rewards work?

By doing events and jumping puzzles it progresses a hidden point track. There’s lots of information on the Wiki.
