Talk:Wooden Chest
Needs more info. How do they work? First one to open gets it? Can only the player who got it see it? Can anyone loot it? 217.226.204.48
- It works the same way as Bag of Loot on WvW - only you see it and only can pick it up. MalGalad 15:29, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Appearance[edit]
I haven't done any scientific research on this, but I have noticed that these seem to appear most often after winning a particularly lopsided battle. If I down 6 or more mobs in one battle, I actually look around for one of these to appear. (And sometimes you really have to look with the left CTRL key; if not you may not even notice them.) They seem to have an internal cooldown, as I won't see another one again soon after winning a similar battle. They also seem completely unrelated to Steel Chests, which almost always appear after downing a Champion or finishing some events, and I have seen a Wooden Chest also appear at the same time. -- 184.187.245.5 10:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- Congratulations, you've discovered how probability works! It's all based on the chance of a rare item dropping. Say this chance is 20% (which is probably much higher than reality) - if you kill 1 foe, then you'll get a rare drop (which the Wooden Chest signifies) about 1 time out of 5, on average. On the other hand, if you kill 5 foes, then you should expect 1 of those 5 foes to drop a rare item, on average.
- The Steel Chests from champions are different - if you're level 80, then the champion is guaranteed (I think?) to drop an exotic champion loot bag, which is represented by a Steel Chest. —Dr Ishmael 12:16, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
