This is getting frustrating to say the least. Currently Rank 733 in WvW and last night when I ranked up I received 2 IDENTICAL green Cleric shields in the chest. Now that is what I call a great rng. Tonight, while defending the northern camp in our BL a steel chest dropped at my feet thanks to a well meaning enemy but shortly after I dropped as well and was stomped. So I scurry back, the camp was saved and my steel chest was still there! Excitedly I opened it to get…..wait for it……wait….. 2 Badges and 2 Empyreal fragments!!!!!!! That was it! I looked under the chest, in the chest, shook it out, checked my inventory, looked under the chickens but that was all I got out a steel chest drop!
Truly frustrating!
edit: Forgot to mention I have over 5,000 fragments in the vault already!

It was the chickens! You looked under them but not inside of them.
Ever notice how they’re always innocently milling about near the site of a battle? They’re spies and thieves, I tell you! I bet one or more of them swallowed your treasure and is hiding it in its gullet. Kill everyone of them, I say, and retrieve what is rightfully your’s (plus have a nice dinner as a bonus)!
No, the steel chest was dropped by a player. The camp was ours and defending it would not have dropped a chest if the supervisor went down.
do empyreal fragments even drop from players? as far as I know they don’t
They do not or are not supposed to. That is why I am having difficulty figuring this out. The camp was ours, in our BL, with no NPC’s around. The fight happened up just inside the ne gate of the north camp where we intercepted the group running in. Again there would be no NPCs around. It did drop when we put down one of the attackers because as I was about to stomp him a thief got me and downed me. I saw the chest at that point just as they stomped me. So it HAD to have dropped from the enemy player we downed. The only NPC that would drop badges would be the Supervisor but again the camp and Supervisor was ours.
Could be that you tagged some other supervisor before you were defending a camp and someone killed it.
Once I hit few times buffed supervisor, ported back to citadel and few mins after I got steel chest from kill. Anyway, I believe in any bug when it comes to WvW.
