Guild Wars 2

Fairly new to the game, so certain experiences are still firsts for me.

Did this event sequence (i.e. “Breaking the Claw of Jormag”) for the first time ever on this account just now (at the time of this writing), level 80 character, as part of the Daily Completionist achievement.

Upon completion (and for that matter throughout the event sequence), I received a “gold” result, plus several rewards directly into inventory (some of which had to do with the daily), and very large chest appeared at the final combat location.

I watched as others operated this very large chest, but the chest was not clickable for me.

So, what am I missing? Should this chest have been clickable for me? If not, why not (and are the various mechanics related to this feature: world events, their rewards and how to access to them, as well as why they might not be clickable/operable, etc, documented somewhere? I haven’t been able to find much on “how do these work”)?

Thanks.

First of all, you are eligible to get those chests only once a day (if you do it again another time you won’t get the chest again before reset), that’s not your case I see but it worth to mention. I don’t know what you mean with clickable but in order to get the rewards from that chest you must approach it and a “Open [F]” popup should appear. Was it what you tried to do? That how these in-world chests work, you have to go close to them and interact, as you would do with gather nodes, per example.

You can contribute enough to a Boss, or other hostile NPC, to gain the Gold reward, and still not contribute enough to earn a Chest. The Chest will still appear (they can appear even if you do not participate at the end of an event), as it is part of the event you are witnessing.

You may have just not done enough damage to qualify for the Chest.

Good luck.

There was no way to “interact” with the chest… not clickable, no “F”/Interact" popoup.

I am guessing I just did not do enough damage to qualify for the chest. Thanks.

For me, Claws of Jormag event didn’t give me the chest (it is invisible) for 3x in a row, even with me getting the credits for the event.
I play it once a day and sure do enough damage and participate in all events.
