altermaven.7385 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I went to unlock my current Black Lion Chest. Now, several chests ago I had gotten a voucher for the permanent hair stylist, which I used, and now have the Permanent Self-Style Hair Kit. Several chests later, and by that I mean now the recent one I have opened, the chest dropped me a one-use Self-Style Hair Kit. I'm confused. Why do I need a single-use Self-Style Hair Kit when I have a permanent one in my bank? It effectively turned my chest unlock into a bunk chest (non-useful chest). Now, normally, when I get a bunk chest I just shrug and move on. But a single-use item when you have a permanent version in your account storage, unlocked AND bound to you? It just baffles me. Help a skritt out? **EDIT:** Picture for clarity.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 They don't adjust the contents of the BL Chests should you be lucky (or rich) enough to acquire any Permanent Contracts. It's always best not to look gift horses in their mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeivu.3615 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 It isn't unlocked on your account like armor or weapon skins. I don't think they have a way to check to even see if it unlocked on your account when it comes to the chests. And considering that the odds of even acquiring a permanent contact is just so abysmally low, they probably don't even see it as a priority. Congrats on winning the BL lottery though.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Should you be fortunate to receive another Permanent Contract, you can always sell it (they are worth quite a bit) and use the one-time-use ones that will inevitably pile up. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altermaven.7385 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, I know it's a bit of bunk but it's the unfortunate-ness of things. Well, I'll just use them up. At least they won't take space. And if I make an error, I have the Permanent one to use to fix the mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 It would be nice if the non-permanent ones would be tradable as well. This would fix this issue also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 It's not baffling. BL chests are designed so that literally 90% of the contents is fluff, some of which is occasionally useful to some people. And there will always be some who find some of the drops to be entirely without value. In the OP's case, it just happens that one of the single-use items belongs to the latter. But for some people, the hair kits are useless with or without the permanent stylist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 @"altermaven.7385" It also doesn't matter whether the permanent kit is in your bank or a shared inventory slot or even the specific character's personal inventory. You still get a chance to have the single-use kits. The same applies to all the other permanent kits (bank access, vendor, TP pickup access, upgrade extractor, repair kit) - their corresponding single-use kits can drop from BLCs. (Well, strictly speaking I don't know if that's true for bank access and the upgrade extractor, because I don't have those on permanent, but it is true for the others.)

This would fix this issue also. Pretty much all the junk in blc need to be tradeable. I understand some of the rare stuff, but the fluff that gets dumped in a bank by most players should be able to go on the trading post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, thanks for letting me know about those as a whole. As I stated, I'll have to resolve to just using up the single-use ones that are account-bound and have the permanent ones as a last resort.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Or you can just delete the single-use ones, and use the Permanent Contract; it's not like it has a limit on use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
