Achievement point chests
A little behind..? I have over 1000 hours clocked in and will hit 5K AP soon. If only I would have done my dailies more regularly in the past.. ;-(
As for the 1 copper, that sounds really weird. Maybe it’s just a joke with no deeper meaning?
congrats on hitting the 24.5k ap mark takes a lot of work . but i got to say i do find it a bit more than off and odd that you only got one copper for reaching that mark . is there by chance noting with information when you roll your mouse of the chests themselves to give you this information ?? i just hit the 2.50 mark long way to go but so far i noticed every time i looked at the chests they was able to give me the next few chest info on rewards. does that stop at some point ? and if so can you recall where that stops at ???
It tells you what you get, but it doesn’t tell you what is in the chest that you have to open manually in your inventory. Just like when you kill a champion you get some loot and a chest. They opened the chest and those items were inside. I’m sure they’re from some set RNG table, and the 1 copper is a bit of a slap in the face.
It’s what comes in those Chests; always has, and, perhaps, always will: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Achievement_Chest
Remember, any Gold awarded (for the Achievement) comes within the Achievement Rewards (1 Gold, 2 Gold, 15 Gold, 30 Gold, etc.) No need to pay out twice, really.
It may be that a template was set up for particular Reward Chests, so they could add different Gold amounts easily, should they decide (in the future) to do so. And had to put something in the placeholder until such time. /shrug
Good luck.

Congratulations on reaching 24.5k. That’s quite an accomplishment, actually.

I do agree chest rewards are kinda “meh”, I got 32,7k AP with 11,8k hours in, one would think rewards get better after 30k at least but they just keep cycling which is not really much of a reward. You should definitely get more than just Revive Orb and Siege and some karma …
Even Pinnacle weapons are basically Zenith with few more crystals and different color.

1c is actually quite generous when you consider no repair cost, no wp cost while in wvw and no build change cost while in spvp. It could have been 0c instead.

That’s what I was thinking, a place holder. Everything I got from the chest followed the format listed on the wiki. Including the 1 copper, lulz. My post was mostly to see what other’s thoughts were on the AP chests. I feel like most of them are kind of meh, although the ones that give you gems are pretty nice rewards. I don’t think we need more gems more often, that iteration is decent, but the ones in between… maybe bump the siege bps up to superior and give you 5, make the booster a heroic booster, and/or give you gold that scales with the chest. Heck, these days we get 2g for finishing dailies, I don’t think rewarding players with a little extra gold would be that terrible…
