Guild Wars 2

The item ‘Element of the Wurm’ seems to be unobtainable atm. At least for those who already killed Bloodstone-charged Wurm this day before opening collection.

I got all of them last night. It must be tied to the chest. Have you hopped onto another character and killed the wurm?

I tried on the other char and i got it! Thx!

Same problem all the other elements work just fine except the wurm.

Also seen this mentioned numerous times on map chat

There is a simple reason for this. Some events in Draconis Mons reward an Ancient Chest upon completion: killing the Greater Wardbough, the Bloodstone-Charged Lava Wurm, or one of the Legendary Destroyers. The items for the collections are acquired from these chests.

Ancient Chests can only be opened once per day per character. Therefore, if you killed the Wurm on your character that day before unlocking the collection, you won’t get the required item upon killing it a second time (since you don’t get another Ancient Chest). This doesn’t happen with for example Webby Mother or Golem Suit because their rewards are just champion loot boxes that include the collection items, not the limited Ancient Chests.

The work-around, as mentioned by Ayrilana, is to do the event on another character that has not killed the Wurm that day yet, as the Ancient Chest can be acquired once per day per character.
