Wooden chests are not giving me anything?

When wooden chests were introduced, any time one would spawn I could swear I didn’t get anything from them and they’d just disappear as soon as I tried to loot them. Mostly, I chalked it up to getting bugged blue or white loot out of them and not noticing it which I saw some people reporting as the case so I figured I’d wait for the patch. But after yesterday’s patch that said only yellows and rarer would be in wooden chests, I still got nothing. I was in W3 and a chest spawned along with a normal loot bag so I looted a white and a blue form the bag, toggled for the chest, and it disappeared. A teammate mentioned maybe I was seeing one of their chests for some reason but no one got a rare or better out of that fight. It makes me sad to see these popping up and seem like I’m not getting anything nice from them. Am I crazy?

Thanks for reporting this! We think we’ve figured out what’s going on.

The supply bundle consumable item in WvW is a rare item and can be received in a wooden chest. So…if you have auto-loot on, you won’t see the item consumed (because it’s done automatically), and it seems like you didn’t get anything.

When you loot one of these chests, do you receive a supply boost in addition to the common items?
