Guild Wars 2

I believe that the Champion Svanir Shaman’s loot table at the Frozen Maw event in Wayfarer Foothills may currently be bugged. On my level 80 character’s, it is completely random as to whether I get a white or exotic quality Gilded Strongbox. The white box is what I would expect to receive on a level ~10-15 character that was doing the event (with level appropriate crafting mats,) not a level 80. In addition, the white quality Guilded Strongbox shares the same icon as every other quality Gilded Strongbox, however, the exotic quality Gilded Strongbox dropped by the Shaman shares the same icon as a Fallen Adventurer’s Backpack.

If this is indeed bugged, PLEASE PLEASE fix it. This may partially explain why the supply of Genesis is so low compared to nearly every other new exotic Champion skin. I want a Genesis (and not for 200g…)!

Oh, and feel free to add Genesis to other box types

^This.
It is wrong that beating a champion with its whole meta chain gives a white box. It is wrongggg!

That is not a bug. If you want an exotic gilded strongbox every time. Go do lv80 stuff. Doing low level things means you have a chance of getting low level loot.

Champion rewards will be different based on their level. However, like other loot rewards if you’re a high level player in a lower level area there is a chance you’ll receive rewards based on your actual level rather than the area you are in each time they drop.

There are also 7 different exotic item ids that have the name “Gilded Strongbox”. The one dropped from the shaman(also dropped by Aldus Stormbringer) is the only one with the wrong icon.

Fair enough, so what you are saying is at a bare minimum the icon is bugged – I really wish all Gilded Strongbox loot tables (exotic) were equal…perhaps this Gilded Strongbox (exotic) loot table is bugged as well?

If you are trying to find a reason for the low supply of Genesis you should be looking at the Gilded Coffer’s loot table instead. Those drop from risen and it can drop both Genesis and Entropy. Compare the supply of the two. The people farming CS champions are also getting the exotic box each time versus the random chance of getting the exotic box from the maw shaman.

It is also possible people find Genesis more desirable overall. As far as I am aware it is also the only exotic hammer with cavalier’s stat that you can get without having to do fractals so even people who don’t want the skin might still want it.
