Chest drop color - Guild Wars Forums

Jackylicious · Oct 22, 2006, 06:03 PM // 18:03

In game and in the odd post I have noticed some people can tell what color a drop will be from a chest before anything comes out of it. Can't say I've really tried looking for differences in-game to see how that can be determined. Anyone have an answer as to how you can tell?

Well...while i was chest running in Whitmans for my first title lvl...I noticed that certain "chests' would always drop grapes....I don't think it is anything but expierence....certain chest locations always give grapes....while other loctions in the area generally give golds...So as far as telling what is gonna drop before hand it comes from expierence and knowledge of the area and the location of the chests.

There is no way to tell what color the chest will drop before opening the chest. All chests drop purple or gold items, but the only way to tell if the chest contains gold or purple items is to open it. I've got my third chest running title with about 693 high end chests opened, and I know that there is a reason we all roll a rediculous 100 sided die before opening a chest

uhh i have a question: why would it matter? if you are going to open the chest anyways... you are going to find out eventually

The chest will have the same color drop for whoever opens it. In other words, if you are in a group and someone opens a chest and gets a purple item, you will also get a purple item from that chest. If they get a gold from a chest you will too. Hopefully this will answer your question

It would matter because if there is a way to tell it'll be a purple drop I might not open it.

The person who rolls lowest opens the chest first to check if its purple or gold.
