Yah, its probably the length of the matches. I was doing two matches where I won one and lost the other one. Both were good and long fights and it credited 4 matches.
Keys are not 50% off right now. 125 for 1 and 1125 for 10 is their base rate.
It should also be noted that you got extremely lucky (if the OP doesn't realize this) to have gotten a Pseudodragon or any of the worthwhile epic things from aaannnny lockbox.
Also, if you do the math you'll typically find that it's cheaper to buy keys off of the AH than the zen store (just quick multiplication based off of the Zen-exchange.) Most of the time it's not significantly cheaper, but if you're buying bulk then the savings really stand out.
I personally didnt mention in-game events because I horde that sort of stuff, or use it for my own characters. In both the Tymora and Waukeen events, I probably could have come out far more ahead if I just sold the boxes rather than opened them. But they're sort of like free lockboxes. Really, these events are far more of a time sink than trying to play the AH, but are definitely more fun.
Yes. I have since been getting nothing but HAMSTER and have bought around a dozen keys I'm guessing. Funny, the pseudo I got on my first box lol. Well, this time around. On another character I opened 4 boxes a long time ago. Think a got me some blue assests? But they aren't listed anymore on boxes except for weaponsmith and fartificing:(
The Zen was cheaper than buying keys off the ah when I did it recently.
I love the pvp dailies. Very often you don't have to do 4 matches, just two. Not sure what determines that. Score, glory?
I believe it's your score. If you finish in the top 6 scorewise, you get credit for 2. Not sure on the placing though. It might be top 5. Anyway, you don't necessarily have to win the match.

Ah, glad to hear you double checked . Always worth doing such. And good lesson to have passed onto the OP (and others). Treasure that Psuedodragon XD.

It's either this, or just by being credited a win. Basically, if you suck and lose, you'll have to suffer there 4 matches, but if you're good and you win, then only 2.
If it wasn't for this totally ridiculous gambling system of upgrading enchantments, we wouldnt need these insane amounts of AD. 10% 1% really? That requires several dozens of greater marks of potency; you do the math.

Life isn't fair sometimes huh?
Frankly, the losers should be glad to get anything at all. That they get their losses counted towards their daily task is generous.
Fact is many players PvP only to get their daily quest done and then often cannot be bothered to make an effort. They just want to get over it, if loss or win does not matter much, and the rest of their team can die and lose for all they care about.
It would be a lot fairer when the losers would get nothing at all. Then only players who are sincerely interested in PvP would participate in the matches. Even for those who are still learning about PvP and who have a low gear score will eventually find themselves on a winning team or even in the upper half of the scoreboard.
At least the Domination Master is fair. You will not get a Seal of Triumph just for being there... You actually have to win a match. Thank God for that.
Stay frosty.

I've been told that wins get you credit for 2 matches. Not sure though. I don't run the pvp daily enough to say for certain.
*Others are saying this is wrong. And they are probably right. Like I said, I heard it from someone else. I don't pvp very much anymore.*
I have been on the winning team many times and only count 1 towards daily, however I have noticed if I place high enough on the score board or scored more than 2500 points that tends to wrack up 2 matches for daily. I honestly don't know if there is a rhyme or reason to that but it seems to me that its weighted on a combination of winning the match and scoring a certain number of points during the match.
Egads...Kelemvor is having a fit right now. Please do not necro old threads. If 30 days has passed since the last post in a thread, feel free to start a new one....especially when the post has little to do with the subject of the thread.
