Well, Gold contribution is not a good indicator. The threshold for Gold is much lower than for WB chests. You might check your friend’s equipment/build (whatever there may be…don’t know what level the friend is), etc.
I frequently run two accounts on the same network. So I know this shouldn’t be a problem. Unless it has something to do with Free Accounts. Is it always the same one missing the chest? Or does it swap between the two?
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
It seems to swap between the two, have only done world bosses with them in the starting areas (Both are level 15-20). Fire elemental, the frozen maw and jungle wurm so far. Fire elemental and the frozen maw twice.
When my friends son has not been playing then the chest appears every time when there is one account logged in on the network.
I understand the bonus chest is once per day, I am talking about the physical chest that appears on the ground. The chest appears on the map but cannot be seen or looted by one of the accounts.
Well, both my husband and myself play from the same network, often at the same time. We’ve never had any issues from it. That’s why it seems more a case of not doing enough damage rather than anything else.
If you feel this is not caused by damage provided (it may be difficult for low-levels to provide enough damage with high-levels around)or the limits on chests, you can always have one of the friends (the dad, perhaps) contact the CS Team and ask for information/assistance via the ‘Support’ link above/below.
Though, I am pretty confident that Play4Free accounts don’t have any restrictions such as that (2 accounts from the same IP).
Each individual world boss can only spawn a chest once per day, per character and award a bonus chest once per day, per account.
I’m having to quote myself so people don’t keep talking about damage. Read it – its from the wiki. I bolded the important bit.
Yeah that’s not the problem if you read the other posts you could figure that out.
Actually if YOU read the other posts you’ll see;
“I understand the bonus chest is once per day, I am talking about the physical chest that appears on the ground. The chest appears on the map but cannot be seen or looted by one of the accounts.”
He is under the impression that the BONUS chest is the only thing under the 1-a-day rule. This is why I have repeatedly posted because no one else seems to have picked up on this fact and are bringing up customer support and damage as reasons (which will not help/is nonsense).

They did fire elemental twice, frozen maw twice, and wurm once. He didn’t give a time frame on this but they did wurm once. You could argue perhaps the time wurm bugged it was due to damage and the other times they were doing world bosses twice the same game day. But this can’t account the bug or lack of damage issue for wurm.

In that same post he also says the ‘no chest’ swaps between the two players which could mean they haven’t been gaming together 100% of the time, it is entirely reasonable that one of them did wurm and elemental before their run and the other did maw. This gives the right result and doesn’t involve crazy theories – just that new players forgot they did a boss before or didn’t even know the 1-a-day rule.
I do play with 2 people (2 bought accounts) from the same IP and we never had a problem with one of them getting no chest. As long as it’s 2 different accounts this shouldn’t be a problem.
probably the other person didn’t make enough damage. I’d check their gear and build.
If it isn’t due to the once a day explained above, then I would think “(Both are level 15-20)” is an indication that they may not be doing enough damage (they say it scales down but its not a straight line scale).
the 2 accounts on the same IP is not the issue here for sure.
I can also confirm that having multiple accounts at the same IP address wouldn’t cause this.
At one time there were 4 accounts being used from my IP address, frequently 2 of them together and sometimes 2 together doing the same activities, including world bosses and we never encountered this.
I can also confirm that free accounts are able to get world boss chests. I’m not able to check whether more than 1 free account per IP address can get the chest for an event, but it’s never been mentioned as a restriction and I’d be surprised if that was the problem.
Things which can cause you to not get a world boss chest include:
Having done that boss already today. As mentioned the chest on the ground is only available once per day per character, and a day is defined as the 24 hour period between daily resets. So if you collect your login reward and do a world boss you have to wait until after you get another login reward to do it again or you won’t get the chest. (Alternatively you can do it on another character.)
Not doing enough damage to qualify. As mentioned the limit is higher than for gold reward, and it’s hard to tell if you have done enough, especially for new players but it’s something to bear in mind.
Lag and/or disconnects. If you’ve got a lot of lag the server may not register everything you’re doing, or it may be useless. You might think you’re standing there firing away at the boss but the server may not receive the data and think you’re just standing there, or the event may have shifted to a phase where the boss can’t be attacked so you’re just firing into empty space. If you disconnect during an event everything you did before then doesn’t count – you have to start from 0 participation and try to catch up.
If you’re confident those 3 aren’t the issue start a topic in the tech support sub section and see if anyone there can help you. It might be a recently introduced bug that hasn’t been identified yet or something like that.

Nope, not an anti farming thing, network thing, or anything other than simply under performing at a World Boss. You’ve got to earn that tag to get the chest. Zerker up to level appropriate gear and they’ll get the chest.
Yay!).
