Guild Wars 2

edit: the chest is not useless: i was stacking so many chests that old rewards would get pushed into my inventory without ever opening them

every day i log in and get a cool reward in my inventory. and some dailies in the corner of my screen that i ignore and sometimes complete by accident

i also get a useless blue chest bouncing above my compass. i never click it, because it asks me to click through useless windows

as a result of my long-term foolishness i imagine i now have hundreds of useless blue chests waiting to be opened on several of my characters. always there, wiggling

i’ve never seen anyone talk about this and wanted to raise some awareness?? is there something i’m missing about it

The log in chest gives you a reward for logging in every day and I’m guessing that they don’t stack up if you don’t pick them up but I can’t be sure since I’ve never left one wiggling since it would be too distracting for me.

Here’s the wiki page about it: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Login_rewards

i’ve never clicked a blue chest all the way through and i still get the reward every day :x i get it without clicking it at all.

You click OK twice and get free stuff. It takes, less time than waypointing. Why would you ignore this?

i wish people would read the thread. i never click the blue chest and i get the reward still. every single time

It’s only laurels worth about 40-50 gold a month, free account bound exotics, gemstore items, transmutation charges, boosters, mystic coins, mixed tier crafting mats and account wide gold bonus, so if you’ve lost all that by not accepting the daily chests, those things weren’t important to you anyway so no big deal.

Ah I get what you’re saying. Maybe the way it was written was unlear or I’m just a little dense today. I never thought to check if the reward actually came out of the chest. I just assumed it did since other chests work that way.

It’s certainly odd that the clickable chest isn’t what actually contains the reward.

That said, I like to keep them clicked as the appearance of the chest is an easy way to know when daily resets of things have rolled over, since I work odd hours all over the place.

So how many laurels do you currently have?

Isn’t there a limit on the number of chests you can have there? I don’t open the pvp daily chests until I’m all done and I’ve noticed that one or two will appear in my inventory upon login.

Next time a reward item appears in your inventory, check with the calendar in the achievements panel and see if it is today’s reward (the most recent). I suspect the one in your inventory is actually the reward from four or five days ago.

literally the first thing in the original post come on people

currently 180 laurels

and there’s always two blue chests that are wiggling there and they are temporarily replaced by other reward chests from events and such

i get all 4 chests from tequatl, blue log in chests have never interfered with that. but they always come back after i claim the dragon chests

and yea i’ll check if it’s “today’s reward” thanks

’Today’s Reward’ will be different for anyone/everyone that has ever missed one or more days of logging in. I’m not sure there is a place to even check that.

Well the thing is, I’ve never logged on and gotten a reward in my inventory. I’ve always had to open the chest first to get it. I’m betting that’s true of every one else here, which is why it was overlooked.

Probably if you don’t accept, after a few days it auto opens so you get them but a few days behind the reward table.

thank you for helping me solve this mystery, you may all go about your guild wars 2 lives clicking your chests and actually getting today’s reward instead of several days later like me.

i actually decided to pick a daily (is that how it works?) clicked a chest the whole way through and actually received an item for it

i was stacking up chests and several day old rewards were being forced into my inventory

thank you everyone and sorry for the mess

Not a problem.

You don’t need to ‘pick’ a daily, by the way. It’s just showing them to you.
