Guild Wars 2

So twice I’ve done Tequatl now, got event participation gold medal in it, but no boss chest has spawned after. Everyone else in the event has managed to get it but I get no map marker and no 3D chest spawn, so no loot at all

Anyone else had this issue?

twice..today?

because you can only get the chest once per day.

Since when? I swear you could get the chest more than once a day in the past…I remember doing Shatterer more than once in a day and getting more chests.

Maybe i’ve been away too long

Hollow you are correct, you only get the guaranteed rare once per day, and the chest would still spawn… Unless they changed this.

Oh so you should be able to get a chest filed with greens and blues etc. multiple times but only the guaranteed rare should spawn once?

Once per day, per account, you get the guaranteed rare chest (the one that pops up in the corner of your screen)

Once per day, per character, you get the boss chest (the 3D one that’s typically filled with salvage fodder).

The “day” resets at 8pm EST time.

So you could get a chest twice in one calendar day if you did one before 8 and another after 8.

If you do two bosses before 8 you only get 1 chest.

If you are talking about the physical chest, you can get 1 per day per character.

I got the pop up 2D chest the first time as well as the 3D one, but the second time I didn’t get either.

This. And there has to be a reset that the same character will get the chest again (= you can only get the big chest once a day per character).

If you decide to camp your character at a boss and do nothing in between (no pres, no other events) it is highly likely that you will not receive the chests the next time you fight the same boss (after a reset).

EDIT: Made clearer what I was talking about.

My experience is consistent with this. Heaven knows I have tried getting more than one a day but, alas…no such luck for me.

Oh I get it…so it’s really a waste of time unless you’re levelling to do a boss more than once per day?

From this perspective: Yes.
