Gear score watermark from chests drop is broken

Gearscore is not progressing with loot from chests.

  • What is your character name in New World: Smork
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Fae

Same issue, same server.
Asked several friends, situation is similar. Watermark doesn’t affect chests at all (Ran 2 elite zones 60+ and 3 times Lazarus).

Yes this is happening to me as well. Not sure if its connected to my recent transfer to the Orun server but this is game killing. Why should I grind the content when i’m getting nothing from doing so? I am falling behind all my friends because I get staight 500s on gs drops while doing endgame content. Salvaged probably 200+ items with 500 gs today alone. If this persists, I will be quiting sadly. So demoralizing.

It seems that the chest are locked to the level of the zone

Update, it only happens in expeditions, ow chests work fine

That’s true. Chests in exp give 500-510gs drop, but drop from the bosses give watermark gs items.

Can confirm that.
