Guild Wars 2

laokoko is correct, I played when the game came out to around 41, and reset my account (deleted that character, in other words) to start fresh. Came back with the new build. Glad to hear this isn’t some anomaly, haha. It’s a really cool sword.

EDIT: I don’t recall if the Lockbox was exotic as well, it was of course consumed when I opened to find that sword.

I was doing the group event in Snowden Drifts where a Kodan Wise Keeper is escorted to an Icebrood cave and a Corrupted Kodan bursts out of it. After killing it, he dropped a Gilded Lockbox for me, which contained none other than a level 80 exotic greatsword, Crystal Guardian. The weirdest part is that I’m not level 80, I’m 23.

I asked about the sword in general chat and I got a mix of helpful info and others saying I was lying (what would be the point?) but some felt it would be a cool idea to share it on the forums.

Here’s a screenshot of it, and the combat log showing that I looted it (and a few other less noteworthy items) from the Gilded Lockbox. It looks really cool.

Has anyone else received this? I was very, pleasantly, surprised.

EDIT: I also do not have any level 80 characters. My highest is 28.
