I tought that we would only get the bonus chests (with the yellow item) once a day. But today I did Tequatl at around 2:30 where I looted his chest. Then again at 5:20 but this time the chest did not appear for me.

Is this intended or a bug? Because if its intended how are we supposed to collect 500 dragonite for 1 ascended weapon if those chests only spawn once every day.

It’s been that way for a long time.

Also, those chests with Dragonite Ore are at any world boss chest and can give as much as 30 (Orrian Temples) to some other number. I heard something like Shadow Behemoth’s gave a low amount, but I’ve not checked it out yet.

Shadow Behemoth gave me 3 Dragonite. I guess Dragonite will take forever. I did 4 hours of WvW today on a karma train, all the dragons I could snatch and some temples and only made enough Dragonite to get 1 Dragonite Bar (so around 120 dragonite for 6 hours of gameplay). While I got like Triple that in Azure and I have a silly amount of Bloodstone Shards in my bank (around 7k)

Here’s my experience with collecting Dragonite


Maw – 4
Worm – 3
SB – 5

Shatterer – 21
Golem Mark II – 19-20
Claw of Jormag – 21

Temple of Melandru – 30


Seems like if you’re going for dragonite the lower level world bosses aren’t worth the time. Although they are quick.

Also both the empyreal star and dragonite ingot do not require a cool down of any sort. It seems like the only 2 materials that require the 24 hour wait are the Glob of Elder Spirit Residue and the Lump of Mithrillium.

I also like that the timers on those 2 particular items reset at the same time as the daily instead of 24 hours since you last made one. That’s very nice.
