Guild Wars 2

Now, don’t get me wrong. I like the idea of this whole thing. And I know there are some bugs as the first chest awards you with +1 Magic Find that’s not displaying in the bonus window.

However…

My first achievement chest contained: one glory booster, one 10-slot bag, one Sip of Liquid Karma and then the suite of copper tier gathering tools.

Er…copper gathering tools? That’s not very epic or rewarding. Especially as they’re worth nothing and I have all my main toons kitted out with the perma tools.

Is this what everyone got for the first chest or did some of you get something different?

I’m hoping the other chests tomorrow will contain something a bit better than that.

It’s tiered, so yes tomorrow will have better stuff.

*Edited because I’m not so sure we all did get the same things, I only assumed.

Jrunyon.3012:

We all got 3 random boosters, 1 random copper gathering tool, 1 leather bag, 1 gold, 1 laurel and 1 sip of liquids. Fixed

EDIT:
Iwas going to post again, but whatever.

The first chest contains a lot more than what I listed. Most of what I listed was off the top of my head from what I remembered, not from actual looting. PLEASE STOP QUOTING ME ON THIS, I KNOW I’M WRONG!

Not to mention a revive orb and an instant repair cannister. If you had those in your inventory already your count went up, but you might not notice.

It’s a good chest.

I got 3 random copper gathering tools, 4 boosters, 1 leather bag, 1 gold, 1 laurel, 1 sip of liquid karma and a repair canister, bank express and black lion express.

So maybe it is semi randomized?

The first chest, 100 point, does not give you a 1% magic find permaboost. Its the second 500 point chest that does that

I didn’t get any gathering tools. But just a ton of boosters and repair can/revive orb.

I think they’ve done a good job of adding tangible reward through achievements, especially given it’s retroactive. I was very happy to see laurels included. And, yeah, I think we all got the same things. Looking forward to the coming chests.

I got the same only with a 4 slot bag and similar boosters. 1 copper tools of each kind.

I trashed the copper tools.

I’ve opened the second chest, 100 WvW badges, jug of liquid karma, revive orb, karma booster, 5 paid tournament PvP rewards (!) and 5 mystic stones. I was really surprised, thats quite a lot of good stuff for only 500 achievement points. I also discovered that new armor starts from 3000 point chest (gloves).

I can’t wait for the next chest

6 boosters, a 10 slot bag, and a pick

However, got the 100 WvW badges from the second :P

I only got a Legendary, Atherblade armor skins for each armor type, 5 jade tickets, and a copper ore. I sure hope tomorrow’s award is better.

LMAO! That’s just wrong on so many levels.

Let’s see, what do we have here?

I got

• 5 boosters
• 1 Sip of Karma (1000)
• 1 bank access
• 1 repair canister
• 1 revive orb
• 1 leather bag
• 2 copper tools

2nd box = 100 badges of honor, and and pvp gear box with a ton of random pvp skins. O.o

Seems the variables of what can drop don’t differ to much from person to person. Thats pretty good to see.

I liked the rewards so far. I was happy with the Orb and Repair canister and the boosts. I am looking foward to the next chests and that big chest at 2500 points Makes me want to complete some more jp’s so i can get up to 6k archiev points.

In my 2nd chest I was on a low level theif but it gave me soul bound spvp heavy leg armor… It would not even deposit like other skins.

in my second chest I got a PvP award chest that contained 6 random PvP items soulbound to a character that can’t wear or wield them. I understand RNG, but at least make it account bound or constrain it to usable items. It was less than useless as a reward. I have to actually work to get back to where I was before the award (destroying the items). It’s not a lot of work, so I’m not complaining about it from that perspective. It’s the principle of the stupidity of awarding random soulbound items when the toon can’t use them.

Was very happy with the rewards (which is rare for me to be happy about an RNG box).

Got some XP, Karma, Glory, and MF boosters which I can definitely use. Repair Canister, Bank Access express thingy, and then a crate of PvP equipment.

I was worried about the PvP equipment, but when I opened it, I was very happy. Got a bunch of stuff that I didn’t have in my locker and stuff I can use on my SPvP character.

So all in all, very pleased. Best reward chest ever.

Oh that was my second chest. First chest was still good as well. Got about the same kind of boosters which helped out a lot cause I’m leveling my Necro (got 4 levels just from doing events around the Bazaar). Then some copper gathering materials which I sent over to my lower level who I am planning on level next. All in all, not too bad.

for those who received PvP items that you cannot use, it’s the same for all PvP reward chests that reward goodies / skins. but don’t worry!!

go to Heart of the Mists, the battle grounds for s/tPvP, and then you should be able to click deposit all. since they are PvP items, you can’t deposit them if you’re anywhere BUT in the Mists. WvW doesn’t count.

once deposited, they can be used by any of your characters. : )) you can access them in the PvP Lockers (south of HotM, you’ll see 3 lockers snuggled in a corner).

note that for each item slot, all yoru weapons, gear, so essentially anything but PvP crafting mats, boosters and salvage kits, each item will only stack once. so what to do with the extras if any? you can salvage them for more mats which allow you to get different skins using the PvP MF, or throw them on your alts. : )) hope this helps!

not sure why they are denoted as Soulbound really.

Think wider than yourself. Imagine this: you’re a starter player and get your first achievements done and that first 100-achievement chest. You’ll be probably somewhere in the starter areas. Those copper tools are of more use then than a mithril one… It’s because they’re added retroactive, it seems a bit strange.

i don t understand…
SHouldn t first weapon skin be unlocked with 2nd chest ._.?
I got some pvp stuff, 100 badges (i really liked them if i get 150 more i will never go to www again), a laurel and a gold.

or maybe we didn t unlock the 1000 achi yet?
the UI is not that clear.

Katreyn.4218:

same here.
more bank slot spaces taken up hnnngggh.
maybe i should start using those “boosters” or “convenient” items.

UI shows chests you haven’t obtained. The “first” chest, is the chest you will get tomorrow if you have the requisite amount of AP (or if you have the chest “stored for later”).

thank you but i don t understand…

We get a chest every 500 ( ihave 5600) achievements…

I got one Yesterday and one today

1000 points have a skin inside..

Did we have another chest <500 or something changed?

Mine had two boosters, a full set of copper gathering tools (that i have scrapped right away), a revive orb and repair cannister (in addition to the leather bag, gold, laurel and liquid).

There’s an additional chest for 100 achieves. That’s what we got.

Oh thank you now its clear

Yes one for 100, 500, and every 500 after to 3,000. Achievements page tells you at the top.

I have no idea how many achieve points I have, nor do I care. I suppose I ought to look, huh?

JustTrogdor.7892:

wait what? You can get a legendary weapon from those chests? oO

It’s called sarcastic humor. Doesn’t often come across well in pure typed format on a forum without emoticons.

It’s often better accompanied by a sardonic lift of a brow or a twisted corner of a lip. Or just a pure <straightface>.

Got my two chests so far and I am pleasantly surprised.
I just have no idea what to do with all the PvP rewards, since I never PvP- I got like 5 armour skins in a little PvP chest with today’s 500 point chest.

What a load of kitten!

Soulbound armour and weapons that are no use to my character, various boosters ditto.
and a 10-slot bag.

thank you Akamon. glad I haven’t destroyed them yet.

Actually, I am quite impressed with the rewards from these chests. While most of the the 100 point chest was worthless to me, I can see their use to newer, lower level characters.

And nice PvP armor (even though I don’t PvP) and 100 WvW badges in the 500 point chest was a very nice touch.

Along with all the boosters, revive orbs, and repair canisters you can’t go wrong. (Not to mention the mystic forge stones)

These chests are really well done in my opinion. Just trash the useless stuff and be happy with the good stuff.

Remember that this is the 100 achievement point chest. If this system were active at launch, we would have been ecstatic about getting all that stuff when we hit a mesely 100 AP. As it is, people with lvl 80s and 100g that have been playing for 6+ months don’t care about most of the stuff. But the low level players do. Plus, free laurel & 1g. Win.

Need to see Precursor at 5,000AP (top 10% of players), Legendary at 10,000AP (top players).

You don’t need to be in Heart of the Mists to do that. I just did it from Mount Maelstrom.

If I may interject, speaking as someone who has near 9k points, this would be a poor idea. I’m sure I got most of these points from doing dalies and being a-kitten the right places. I do think the rewards for large milestones should be substantial though.

I just thought I would drop this in here. I think everyone got the same thing.

As a very casual player sitting at just short of 4000 AP -I think this is a very bad idea.

I think something need to be done about precursors sure but they should not be that easy
