I know this is a stupid question but I am going to ask anyway. I stopped doing EoTM when I got to 80 on the current character. I opened my bags and didn’t bother to notice the mats I got. The Wiki says powerful blood/gossamer/hardened leather (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Embroidered_Belt_Pouch)

But…the other day I did a few WvW champs and opened the bags I got and I ended up getting a few armored scales and a vicious claw. Is the wiki wrong, as these are not listed under what can drop? Is the karma train a good place to be getting the t6 stuff? FGS is getting old and I am getting so bored with karka shell farming to buy the t6 stuff -.-

Short story: yes, you can get T5-6 from exotic champ bags you get in WvW.


The longer story:

The rarity of champ bags determine the mats, regardless of which character opens them:

  • Exotics: T5-6
  • Rare: T4
  • Master/Green: T3
  • Blue/Fine: T2
  • White: T1

The level of the character opening the bag affects the level of the gear. L20 characters will get ~L18-L22 gear (ballpark). By opening the gear on mid-tier toons you can get mid-tier armor mats, e.g. linen L51-55 light armor.

Finally, the chance of getting a named exotic weapon does not seem to be affected by the character level. I haven’t done rigorous testing, but I seem™ to be getting just as many of those on my L5x toon as I did on my L80.

However, I haven’t opened enough sub-exotic bags to determine whether those can drop named exotics. I suspect™ they do not.

They do. I got a named exotic from a white champ bag once.
