There are three distinct mechanisms to which players refer as “chests” and each has a different reason for not dropping:

  • World Boss event chest (e.g. at the end of Claw of Jormag): you can only get this once per day per character (except for Karka Queen, which 1x/account). If you don’t do enough damage during the event (to dragon or trash mobs), you won’t see the chest. Shows on the mini map to everyone.
  • Champion Bag: this appears to each person individually, if they have done enough damage to the boss and if the boss drops loot. No limit on how many of these you can get.
  • Bonus chest: these appear in the lower right corner of your screen after successful completion of world events. These are limited to once per day per account.

In all cases, the primary limiting factor to getting this loot is how much damage you do. The bigger the zerg and the more damage its individual players do, the harder it is for non-DPS oriented builds to keep up.

There are only three things you can do, in order of most efficient to least:

  • Change your gear and build to dish out more damage.
  • Join a party of people that do more damage. This does two things: (1) your partners’ participation counts towards your overall credit and (2) you are prioritized to receive boons and other benefits generated by your partners.
  • Change your play style to fit the event. Switching to melee (to deal more damage), dodging to avoid damage (so you don’t spend time healing or being down), focusing on damage instead of support — all of these things increase your participation credit.

Good luck.
