I realize that the forum seems pretty much dead, which I hope isn't indicative of the health of the game overall, but I'm going to keep plugging away with my questions none-the-less.

So frequently when running Conquests, I get different gold values for gold chests I find. This is reflected in the cost it takes to unlock them. My question is whether this is also indicative of the value of the item inside? That seems self evident, but I've opened up a bunch of the higher priced and lower priced gold chests only to have them all equally pop out the same crummy green items. It's a small sample size so far, so I was just curious whether I was costing myself more gold by choosing to open the higher priced ones rather than the cheaper gold chests.
