Champ Bags with HoT release
It should incorporate any new items brought into the loot tables with the expansion. I say this as that is what happened with champion bags left until the spirit shard release. Bags that were looted before that update, but opened after the update dropped rewarded spirit shards as opposed to scrolls of knowledge.
Although of course, I am only speculating, I don’t know for certain.
Maybe we can get a Dev or someone in here to give input?
You wont get a dev response on the forums for this I’m afraid
It depends on if they add HoT items into those loot tables. If they do then yes when you open that bag it will call on the same loot table, regardless of when you got it.
It’s more likely that as we have today, different bosses drop different champ bags each containing different loot. Adding a new champ bag would stop this and is probably going to be used instead. Meaning you’ll probably get nothing special from them. Just my guess though.

With that loop being used during Silver waste’s release, I’m wagering that new bags is assured to happen. This doubles as an excuse to release a 2nd Exotic hunter collection exclusive to Mag jungle.
Lets say I get and save 250 Dragon Chests/Champ bags and wait till HoT comes out then open them. Will I only receive the rewards prior to HoT release or will it incorporate into the exp?
Each container drops the loot programmed for its drop tables based on when it’s opened, not when it’s acquired.
- The devs have specifically mentioned this in relation to unidentified dyes.
- Those who have certain festival-related containers have noticed this if they hoarded them for too long.
- I saved some AP chests until after the wardrobe (hoping they’d add some stuff to replace what they were taking away — no such luck).
The big caveat is that there’s tons of champion bags with similar names, but different ID numbers and ANet might the drop tables for some, none or, all of them.
tl;dr if the drops for a container change before you open them, you’ll get the new stuff. However, there’s no guarantee that the drop tables will change, in which case you’d get the same old, same old.
