Guild Wars 2

I achieved the daily requirement while key grinding on an alt. I choose not to accept the daily until switching to my main, so I continued to play and did not click on the daily chest reward above my mini-map. When I eventually deleted the alt and switched to my main, I found that the daily account reward was gone. I would like my laural plz.

Arenanet can’t refund anything ingame so you wont get your laurel.
I also doubt this is a bug but more an anomaly tight to the way the daily works. The daily reward is accountbound but cause it is an item it has to be registered on a character. Whenever you change character the game checks if other characters have the daily reward chest and transfers it to the new one thats active. However if you delete the character the game won’t recognise it.

Next time I would advise to first get your reward.

Thank you for your informative response. I will definitely not repeat this mistake, and I was not aware of Anet’s policy in not correcting their mistakes. That bit of information will certainly be considered in the future.

If I sounded hostile to you mercury, I am not. Your response is appreciated. Any minor hostility is appointed to Anet’s precedence of not refunding, even when the player is not at fault.

However that aside, this is still a wonderful MMO, and I will continue to enjoy it.

From the GW2 Wiki: The reward chest is displayed as a pop-up in the lower-right corner of the screen; it does not need to be opened immediately and will persist through logout. However, you can only claim it on the character who earned the reward.

I think this is attributed to the fact that the amount of coin you receive with your daily is dependent on the level of your character. I know its only 5s on a level 80, but I guess Anet doesn’t want you to gain an extra silver or so by completing it on a low level then switch to a higher level to claim it.

However you can do different parts of the daily on different characters, just make sure you are on the character you want to claim it on before you complete the last task.
