Contains a guaranteed item, a redeemable Black Lion Statuette, and 2 common items. Each chest has a 10% chance for a bonus uncommon or better item drop. Preview available.

— In-game description

A Black Lion Chest is a container that, when used with a Black Lion Chest Key, yields four items, with a chance to contain a fifth item. If opened with a Golden Black Lion Chest Key, the fifth item is guaranteed.

Many items within are also available in the Gem Store, though some rare items are exclusive to the chest, and a good portion of the items are Account Bound. Those exclusive items can later be purchased from the Black Lion Statuettes. Players are able to view the items contained in a Black Lion Chest by right clicking on the Chest and selecting the Preview option. The items within usually change with a major release.

When activated, a Black Lion Chest window opens that allows the player to combine a chest and a key.

Acquisition[edit]

Trivia[edit]

Original window appearance.
  • The contents were first updated in the 25 September 2012 update, which added additional items and replaced random tonics with Mystery Tonics and its endless version.
  • Opening a chest previously yielded you with 1 Copper coin, up until the January 21, 2014 update.
  • Prior to the June 3, 2014 update, chests were split into locked and unlocked items. Using a key converted the former into the latter which served as a container.
    • Prior to the February 18, 2014 update, unlocked chests were soulbound on acquire. This patch saw this item made account bound at the request of players.
  • Tradeable permanent finishers were added in the 29 September 2015 update. This patch also removed Metabolic Primer, Utility Primer, Large Guild Discovery, and Boost Enchantment Powder from the drop tables. The Metabolic Primer was re-introduced in the March 28, 2017 update as an Uncommon drop.
  • As of the rework in 2016, the window to open the chest now shows the current seasonal item as well as the chest sometimes being a different color. Previously it was just a grey color with no other decorations. Additionally, contents could now be viewed and the chests were given unique names.
  • Until the update on November 1, 2016, three non-seasonal items (such as Trick or Treat Bag or Lucky Envelopes) were guaranteed.
  • The One Path Ends update removed Tomes of Knowledge and Unidentified Dyes from rotation. The Black Lion Booster and Mystic Forge Stones were added as Common Drops but were later removed in the 2017 Wintersday Black Lion Chest update.
  • Significant revisions were made to the regular Black Lion Chest items with updates to the 2017 Wintersday's Glacial Wintersday Chest, that included:
    • The addition of more valuable common items, including dye kits, Upgrade Extractors, and new weapon- and armor-specific wardrobe unlocks.
    • Previously rare weapon skins became uncommon drops and previously super rare weapon skins became rare drops.
  • Notable permanent additions include:
  • Notable removals include:
