kettering.6823 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I got three of these from a regular chest and thought that meant I had 3 free keys, but when I click 'use' nothing happens, even with 3 chests in my inventory. Kind of lame if you need regular keys to use them. : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of lame if you need regular keys to use them. : ( "[unlocks a Black Lion Chest with a guaranteed uncommon or better item](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Golden_Black_Lion_Chest_Key)." You shouldn't need anything more than a BL chest. In your shoes, if I encountered this, I'd move keys & chests to the bank. Then, I'd move _just the chests_ to another character. Double click one of the chests to open the interface, then move the golden keys to inventory (you might have to move the panel so you can still see it). It should show the golden keys in the appropriate slot and the open button should be clickable. If not, maybe you can take a screenshot and show us what it looks like and we can do some additional troubleshooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Should not affect it, but make sure you are in a PvE map, as well. Some things just don't work in PvP maps. Hmm...the API states you should work anywhere, and has no restrictions. Make sure you weren't clicking 'Use' from the bank, as 'Use' doesn't work there. You should be able to just double-click the key from your inventory, rather than right-click it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider.5792 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Make sure to click "use" on keys, not on chests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos.4263 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I've run into this issue before. If you've been opening chests with regular keys, you'll need to close the chest-opening window and re-open it with the golden keys to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that instead of receiving a rare item that is of value in-and-of itself, you just get a replacement key that you have to acquire another chest to use. That's a net loss already of the value of one chest. Then it only offers you an 'uncommon' or better reward, so you're trading a rare for possibly an uncommon - another net loss. This is really beyond the pale. I'd be pissed if I got one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 As the coveted armor skins/gliders/etc. are always in the Uncommon category, I'd rather have the 3 chances at those, than the one Rare item, that could be an unpopular/non-useful (to me) weapon skin, or a Mystery Tonic (worth less than 10G). One never knows; could hit the jackpot either way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, you can open anther chests with 3 or 4 items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get 3 golden keys for 1 normal key, which all of them will contain a guranteed uncommon/rare/very rare item in 4th slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 In the 5th slot; we already get 4 slots with each key (2 guaranteed, and 2 random). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you got one per chest, which would be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kettering.6823 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Forgot to reply to this, but the issue was fixed by me putting the keys and chest in my bank and taking them out again. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
