Pics or didn't happen.
Could be that this bug also affects all the chests spawned and not just a particular one as we thought.

Sometimes I think the worst part about things like that is watching it happen and wishing so hard it had been you!
That's crazy though... I didn't think 3 would ever come out of one chest.

I've had that happen once somewhere in Maguuma Jungle (fairly certain is was The Falls). A chest dropped 2 elite war tomes for me, and guildie with us, the person who would have been the last to open, couldn't open it. I think it wouldn't even let him click on the chest, it just looked open and wasn't selectable.

About a year ago, I got a double black dye drop in Nahpui Quarter mission, which by itself was pretty amazing. But later in the mission, another party member got a single black dye drop.

my theory would be that when you zone into any explorable each chest generates its look in a backpack, one item per player and then drops the items when opened. If it were to generate tomes of the same type, they would stack and thereby drop at the same time, but empty earlier.

I thought this was a well known bug, that chests will sometimes spawn other players drops in the one open if they are tomes. I could be wrong though, but I remember hearing about something like this.

..somewhere in the world
two people will open a chest

I got double golds from one mob, and a black dye from the next doing Dunes of Despair with guildies yesterday. But 3 elite tomes is pretty freaking elite.

FYI, I've seen enough evidence to file a bug report.

I had a fantastic drop the other day. Some crafting materials, a white weapon, an Elite Monk tome, a Gold Scroll, and something else gold rarity.
Pretty sweet seeing three gold things from one kill.

I had 2 elite monk tomes drop for me from 1 chest in The Deep. I didn't take screenshot as i heard that other people also had more then 1 tome drop from a locked chest, so i thought it was a known bug.

Pretty lucky ive had a double green drop before... im pretty certain it was Bazgr... something like that it was a monk prot item. Off a boss where Kurzick HFFF is ran.
Also i dnt belive more than 1 elite tome is a bug.... wiki says it happens without mentioning that it is a bug. ive seen 2 elite necro tomes from a chest in Sanctum Cay.

that 2 tomes drop aint bug, but that after someone got it, other ppl cant open the chest is a bug.

2 guildies and I were running Lyss. The first guildie opened the chest and got 3 elite ele tomes. When I and the other guy opened, we got nothing!

no we all got to open it all got somethig out of it he was 4th to open out of 12,

This was already stated in an earlier thread what happens if you all go for the chest (im assuming three people went for the chest) one person gets three of the drops he would have had. Its a known bug and it rarely happens, but it does and kudos to those that it happens to.

I got dual elite necro tomes opening a chest in a wurm run once.

My first ever black dye drop was followed five minutes later by my second black dye drop. Happened when soloing undead in Kryta. I was pretty blown away by that.

i got a purple drop and a broken lockpick for 5th time in a row, and i stopped using locked chest for like 2-3months

I have ran over 10,000 chests and never seen such a thing. Your friend was very lucky indeed. The odds must be astronomical against this happening.

I'd like to see a screenshot, i think it'd just be cool to see.
This is the most (only) logical response, and probably has something to do with the way the game's coding works. It's always the smart people who i see banned on this forum. Mods r not liek ppl who be smart !

I had two Elite Warrior Tomes drop for me from a chest in Moddock Crevice while playing through NF with a friend. This was normal mode and I opened the chest first btw. Needless to say my friend was pi$$ed

Seconded, this is a most extraordinary claim. I've never heard of tomes dropping in NM and ANet has specifically indicated otherwise.

A bug. Thats all it was.

Well I have a theory. In Presearing at least if you open the hidden treasures there too many times you can not get anything out of them. This might be that?

i saw someone get 2 Elite Mesmer tomes from a chest but never 3, lol
