Guild Wars 2

I think the best level to open boxes/bag/ect. is on a lvl 55 toon if I’m not mistake.
I believe at this level platinum and linen scrapes are salvaged.
Is there a better level to open them?

I guess nobody as an opinion on this matter.

My opinion carries no weight, but there doesn’t seem to be much wrong with using a level 80 to open everything. It gives you the shortest path for upgrades if you need to convert stacks to get T6 materials, and you can also just sell T5 stacks you don’t need to buy the lower tiers if that’s what you are really after.

Also I think it will matter if you’re talking about `bags` (used generically) that come from bosses or the bags dropped by regular mobs. If the latter (Heavy Moldy Bag, Tiny Ritual Bag, etc.), it won’t matter what level you are since the types of materials from these bags will be fixed and independent of your level. If you’re looking for a specific item, like Linen, you can open the boss bags with your best character in order to sell that loot to get money to buy the minion bags which will have a chance for that exact item to be in them.

Bag items (mob loot bags) it doesn’t matter but Champ boxes it does. The material straight from Champ boxes will be the level of who obtained the bag, but generated items (sans named exotics) will come out based on the opener level. Note that I added the exception because I have recently gotten a number of LVL 80 named Exotics (no precursors….yet) while opening Champ bags with a LVL 50 character. I had heard this was possible but didn’t really believe it until it happened to me.

It depends on what you WANT out of them. If you are strictly looking for specific materials or materials to sell then that is very level specific. If you need / want Ectos or Rares / Exotics to toss in the Mystic Flusher, then not using a LVL 80 is counter productive.

I personally split mine up and open half on LVL 80s and half on lower levels (while I still have some).
