Guild Wars 2

So which exactly boxes have a chance to drop ascended chests? Do all the reward tracks have a chance or only few?

I would also like to know
I got an ascended ring from an Arah track reward box but cant remember what kind of box it was… I suppose its random across all tracks?

I believe it’s the loot boxes that are not for weapons or armor. Usually you get some random greens and blues from them.

All the ascended armor and weapon boxes I’ve got from pvp was doing dungeon reward tracks, I only do the “free” track because I’m too lazy to do the story mode again.
I got so far 2 armor boxes (zerk and valk) and 1 weapon box (settler).
I can’t remember witch box gave the chests, I’m almost sure it was one of champion boxes.

I’ve got one from the Glorious reward track – I’d guess all tracks can give them, though I can’t say for sure for any of the regional ones.

i just got an ascended armor chest last night from the maguma waste track

I have gotten 7 armor chests from various dungeon reward tracks. Its probably the best way to get them. Just horde your boxes and then one day stack all the magic find u can on you and open them.

i thought MF doesnt affect chest opening?

depends on the chest

MF doesn’t affect usual containers – however, it does affect the lootboxes you get directly from PvP reward tracks.

any other chests affected by MF besides pvp reward chests?

While it hasn’t been outright stated to be so, the loot bags you get from doing Living Story instances should be affected by Magic Find like PvP reward chests are. PvP reward chests are set up to be like normal rolls on loot tables for given monsters, to simulate having killed five or ten or however many of them and give you the resulting items. Some of the Living Story instance rewards operate similarly, where the enemies in the instance give no loot, but you get a loot bag related to those creatures at the end of the instance that gives a random assortment of things the creature type can drop, ranging from junk items to rares or better. With the similarity in how the items are rewarded coming out of the loot bag, and with them showing up just a few months after the PvP reward tracks were added, it makes sense that they behave similarly.

World boss chests, champ bags and other such boxes are definitely not affected by Magic Find.
