Guild Wars 2

Hey everybody,

I tend to just log in when I don’t have the time to play to get the login reward. And I tend to wait until I get to a city before I open them. But now I can’t play for one or two weeks – I have time to quickly log in, that’s it – and I’m uncertain whether I should get them and leave them unopened for the whole time or just get a few and wait until I have time to play and open them.
Is there some sort of limit how many login reward chests can be stored by the game or is this indefinitely?

Even though this topic is quite old I wanted to answer my own question for future reference.

I tested it and it’s possible to “store” four bouncing chests with login rewards. The fifth one will get transferred directly to your inventory.

Maybe someone will know the chest answer…but I don’t understand something. If you have the 15 seconds or so it takes to log in, spending an extra 2 seconds to click on the login chest shouldn’t make a difference. Or are you talking about something else entirely?

As I said, I don’t want to fill up my inventory. Instead I wait until I’m in a city and put the stuff in my bank.

“If the player goes offline without collecting their reward, it will still be waiting for them upon reloading the game, even if it is the following day; all that is required to receive a chest is to be online during that day, and the reward for that will wait until it is claimed.” – gw2 wiki

Must be same character or you’ll have to remember which character has what.

There IS a limit to how many “bouncing chests” you can have waiting for you at any given point, though I’m not entirely sure what that limit is.

However, if you go beyond that all that happens is that the game starts dumping the items into your inventory automatically. So its not like you can ever really lose them or anything.

dont see why you cant open them then leave em in inventory your not playing anyway

I think you can hold 10 bouncing chests, and as far as I know the game doesn’t add the items to your inventory, they are just deleted. A well known PvP streamer doesn’t care about game rewards, and hasn’t opened his PvP chests in like 8 months after thousands of games: Nothing in his inventory. This may be different for PvE if Electro has had items wind up in his inventory.

That’s what came to mind. Just open them and leave them in your inventory and sort them when returning to the game. Most every character should have enough space to hold months of login items this way.

You can hold X bouncing chests, where X varies depending on the type of chest. It’s different for boss bonus chests vs daily reward etc.

Regardless, you never “lose” them — at worst, the contents are auto-deposited into your inventory. So just make sure the toon you use to logon has a lot of room and you can double-click the gw2 icon, put your bread in the toaster, close GW2, and pick up your toast.

Most of them contain either stuff that goes into the wallet or are in bags that (hopefully) stack. Should not take much inventory space even over a longer period of time.
