Anchors and chests

anyone else notice that completing an anchor now seems to spawn a chest with some gold and a green or better item?

completed 5 or 6 anchors since the patch and each time a daedric chest spawned.
not sure if it's a single open chest or every player receives one though..

    Yeah, I saw that in the patch notes, so yesterday when I did a couple of anchors I made sure to remind people via chat to get the chest.

    Doesn't happen all the time. Is it linked to level? i.e. if you're too high a level you won't get a chest?
    Jesus! Did I SAY that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?

    I got 100% of the time I've done them since the patch :D

    OK but I soloed the one up the coast from Davon's Watch and didn't get anything. I did it again a couple of hours later with two others and we didn't get a chest spawn. Not complaining, just saying :)

    When I've had them spawn before it's been on the main arena area. Do they spawn elsewhere? Maybe I've missed them.

    Ever since I began playing ESO (in late July), I've always gotten a chest for contributing to the destruction of (level-appropriate) dark anchors.

    The only exceptions I'm aware of were those where I've out-leveled the rest of the content (one in Stonefalls that I somehow missed, and one in The Rift - both as a VR6 toon).

    EDIT P/S:

    Oh, *facepalm* a necro'd thread.

    Yes.... necro'd... but a decent question.

    The rule for getting a chest is the same as getting loot from a mob. If you are 6+ levels above the intended level of the Dolmen, you will get no chest.
