Guild Wars 2

I’ve been opening solely Grand chests recently (the large ones), but I’ve noticed a little something odd. I’ve opened a few hundred of them, and haven’t got a single recipe book (exotic or ascended). I used to get several of them when I opened the smaller chests too (notably the Great ones) – has anybody else ever gotten one from a Grand chest?

that’s weird ….I got many recipes from the chests in VB ….maybe u need to improve your MF and not only open the grand chests……..open every one.

It’s weird, though. You would expect that the grand chests should have improved loots from the others, not improved in one place (greens → yellows) and removed in another (recipes → no recipes).

Just loot all chests. I’ve not noticed any significant differences in loot (bar or auric from small chests etc). I have also looted a few dozen recipes, including ascended ones.
