Dear friends,
What a time of joy! Guild Wars is getting a 20th anniversary update!
New weapons will drop across all campaigns, something we haven't seen for a long time!
The Plan
Personally, I wish to do everything all over again to get those exciting drops. But then I thought: Why not do it together? So I started this thread to record what new items drop where.
How can I help?
When you get a drop, please reply in this thread. Screenshots are welcomed but not required. I will update the original post to record the information. If possible, please specify whether the drop was in NM or HM, and from which foe (or which foes were near the chest). Thank you!
Wait! Wouldn't this encourage the bots?
Well, I thought about this for a while. The truth is, no matter what we do, bots are going to binge-farm everywhere. Farms and chest runs are mostly common knowledge. Recording the drop locations might help us estimate what prices to expect when trading. It may also help new or returning players find the items more easily.
❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ The List ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅
The following list contains drop details provided by players. If NM or HM is not documented, HM should be presumed.
❅ Summary: Previous bonus items mostly drop campaign-wide as specified in the April 9, 2025 update note (but some foes seem to not drop any at all). Previous PVP rewards drop in specific regions in EotN.

❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ Questions & Answers ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅
This section lists some commonly discussed topics concerning the new drops.
New Findings
❅ "Of the (Profession)" mods drop for all professions across all campaigns. For example, a Dervish bow mod can drop in Prophecies. When equipped with an unidentified item with a profession mod, the attribute bonus will appear in the skills window. If a foe in PVE is carrying one of these mods, the streak effect will appear on them as well.
❅ Leadership shields (with new skins) are now available (both non-inscribable and inscribable versions). The new shields may also require Strength or Tactics (but not Motivation or Command). Non-inscribable mods (e.g. + 9-10 armor vs. creature, + attribute 19-20%) may be found on non-inscribable shields as usual.
❅ The new items drop in both Hard mode and Normal Mode. Items that require Ritualist attributes can drop in Prophecies.
❅ Bosses and high-level foes tend to drop more new items. Some low-level foes seem to not drop any new items at all (see the following section).
❅ Foes may drop new items from categories that were previously not in their drop table. For example, a Raptor boss may drop caster weapons such as the Hourglass Staff.
❅ Items that were previously bonus items cannot be salvaged for materials. The previous PVP rewards can be salvaged for materials as usual.
❅ The previous PVP rewards drop in rarities other than gold. Also, they may drop with requirements less than 9 from low-level foes. Weapons with "Lesser" names, such as the Lesser Etched Sword, drop in all rarities (white, blue, purple, gold); Their regular counterparts, such as the Etched Sword, drop in purple and gold. Their "Greater" counterparts only drop in gold.
❅ Items can drop with no inherent mods (naked), as usual.
