Other Sources

I got a Tonn's chest (sentinel stats) from the Karka Queen's big ground chest. It was definitely not from the floating chests or the champion bags. PracticalShutIn (talk) 01:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Would make sense as it's Sentinel's.--Relyk ~ talk < 02:13, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Non-80s

Does anyone know if it's possible to receive ascended chests when opening champion loot bags on a non-level 80 character? I know the exotics drop regardless of level, and I know Dragon Chests work differently. But I'm curious about the Embroidered Belt Pouch, since that's the only other bag that specifically lists ascended chests as a possible drop... with no information about character level. Vili 点 08:20, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

I don't think so. If you get an ascended box it replaces the Bloodstone Dust it would have given otherwise. Since Dust only drops for level 80 characters I would imagine the box is the same. Tyndel (talk) 08:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh, and I edited the Belt Pouch very recently, after watching a video of someone opening 1000 boxes, that's where that came from. All exotic champ boxes are the same except for the unique exotics I think. Tyndel (talk) 08:30, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

I am confused. Are you saying every type of (exotic) champ box has a chance at giving an ascended chest?

If so, I will need to revise my strategy for farming linen... Vili 点 22:06, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

I was suggesting that every champ bag of a given rarity has the same contents (excepting the unique weapons). That includes ascended boxes. The chance is so small that we haven't enough evidence for that, but iirc anet said that you can find ascended boxes in champ bags (so not specifically belt pouches).

The other point I was trying to make, is that a few contents of the bags scale with the level of the character who opens them. Under level 80, you won't get Piles of Bloodstone Dust from bags. Ascended Boxes do not drop independently from Dust (as demonstrated in the video I mentioned), so we can assume they don't drop at all for characters under level 80. Tyndel (talk) 22:49, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for the clarification. If the chance is rare enough that even now we still don't have an estimate beyond "it's very rare", I'll not worry about it. Vili 点 00:00, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Champion Lord in WvW

Just got one from the Lord of Bay in WvW. Not from the Champion bag he drops, but the charr himself. Is this specific to WvW, Champions, or maybe even WvW Champion Lords? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 50.126.60.139 (talk) at 14:30, 10 September 2015 (UTC).

I think Empyreal Fragments, Bloodstone Dust and Dragonite Ore have a miniscule chance to be an ascended box instead. So you maybe got that box instead of Dragonite Ore. Tyndel (talk) 15:12, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I think I remember hearing that before, now that I hear it again! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 50.126.60.139 (talk) at 17:47, 10 September 2015 (UTC).

Ascended armor from fractals

The acquisition section needs a Heart of Thorns update. Do Ascended chests still drop from fractals? Which fractal scale ranges or tiers? Which daily fractal achievements? Are certain Masteries required before they can drop?

Note: I replaced the "section-stub" tag with an "out of date" tag, because the out of date tag is the recommended way to deal with the changes wrought by Heart of Thorns. This was recently discussed on the Admin Noticeboard. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Admin_noticeboard —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.167.242.172 (talk) at 00:41, 27 October 2015 (UTC).

I just got an ascended ring (non-infused) from a scale 13 fractal, which was a "daily fractal achievement" recommended daily scale. I believe it was from a "chest of the mists", but I'm not certain because I was not paying a lot of attention to what item I was opening. The chests of the mists might be the new source for fractal ascended armor drops. I had only one fractal mastery, called "Follows advice". DanR (talk) 19:57, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

HoT Stats as Well?

Do the chests offer the new stats from Heart of Thorns? (Tizlak, Pahua, Ossa, et. al.) Separ (talk) 03:52, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Is the Acquisition information still accurate?

For the 2nd sub-section (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_chest#Select-stats_armor_chests), those Fractal chests should be updated to the current ones right?
For the 1st sub-section (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_chest#Named_weapon_and_armor_chests), are you actually able to get named armor chests from Fractal daily chests? They only give select-stats (specific piece) armor right? --175.156.87.225 16:39, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Feedback 2023/09/22

Could you guys order, or put in brackets after, the methods of acquiring a ascended chest in order of likelihood, please? I've heard receiving a Ascended chest from an exotic champion loot bag is so low. Whereas, getting an ascended chest from Triple Trouble or Tequatl is much higher. Would be good to know what's most likely. --Phillip Dillip

I've moved Daily fractal to the top of the list, its the most reliable source (still a poor option vs crafting imo). -Chieftain Alex 17:24, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I added the Wizard's Vault there, which is even more reliable option but limited. ~Sime 19:52, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
