Opening boxes gives a whole bunch of experience even when you're past Legion content.
At level 111 with a full set of heirloms and rested experience, each box gives more than 3k exp each.
You can open as many boxes you want by abandoning and picking up the quest again, once you gotten all the blades and shields for it.

In Legion remix opening any of the chests still gives a ridicules amount of xp. I'm at about 300% xp gain and one chest gave me half a level. Also you can abandon the quest and restart it to open more chests.

Description

The recent battles have greatly depleted our supplies, and we will need arms for our new Valarjar. The kvaldir have an abundance of weapons, armor, and other spoils from their raiding stockpiled in stolen crates. Confiscate whatever you can!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
