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 every farm and chest run 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
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 may help us estimate what prices to expect when trading. It may also help new or returning players find the items more easily.
❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ The List ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅
For a list of new items, visit the 2025/4/9 update
Below are lists of possible drop locations 
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. Thank you!

❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ Questions & Answers ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅
New Findings
❅ "Of the (Profession)" mods probably drop for all professions across all campaigns. For example, a Dervish bow mod was found in Prophecies.
❅ Leadership shields (with new skins) have been found in Factions (non-inscribable). Command or Motivation non-inscribable drops have not been found. Whether all "+ armor vs. creature" and "+1 attribute (19-20%)" mods can be found on these shields is unconfirmed. A Japan 1st Anniversary Shield (Leadership) was seen with +10 armor vs. Demons.
❅ The new items drop in both Hard mode and Normal Mode. There are sightings in DoA and Southern Shiverpeaks NM. Whether they drop as q8 or lower is unconfirmed.
❅ Some new items (which were bonus weapons) cannot be salvaged for materials. Items which were PVP rewards can be salvaged for materials.
❅ Foes may drop new items from categories that were previously not in their drop table. For example, Raptors may drop caster weapons such as the Hourglass Staff.
❅ The rarity information mentioned in the 2025/4/9 update is incomplete. For example, weapons with "Lesser" names have been found in all rarities (gold, purple, blue, and white).
❅ Non-inscribable drops of the new items can have no inherent mods (naked). This is at least observed in Prophecies.
