QuoteHotfix
- You can now only recruit Devona as a henchman in Lion's Arch if you're a Reforged Mode character (you can opt into Reforged mode via a shrine).
- NPC placement adjustments were made just outside of Piken's north exit.
- Pre-Searing dungeon drop rarities adjusted (some gold items were dropping).
Guild Wars Wiki notes
- Contrary to the update notes, it was initially possible to unlock Devona in Lion's Arch despite not having Reforged Mode active on the character. This was fixed in another update few hours later.

Too late noob!! ![]()
/doubletake (I think we're going to need another update.. 2x final chest and 2x drop, maybe if anyone in the group is doing this for the first time(?).
Such a shame they are messing with pre.

I’m still on the fence about all this. They are adding new elements, contrary to what I’ve sometimes said on this forum, but I’m also keeping an open mind. On the other hand, they’re going about it clumsily. For example, in Pre:
- Adding inscribable weapons in Pre? That ruins the “old-school” feel of Pre. The same would apply if Reforged were to introduce inscribable weapons in the Prophecies and Factions campaigns.
- There’s now a missing merchant in Piken Place; you have to go elsewhere to sell your items. Furthermore, adding Runes of Holding wouldn’t be a luxury, given all the inscriptions and additional items currently available in Pre.
- Devona can have every skill and profession in the game. Is this a bug? A design oversight? Was it intentional? It’s just overpowered a Swiss Army knife hero who outperforms players (anti-conditions, hex, running, spirits, etc.).
- Gold and rare items. Oops! Sorry, we didn’t think of that...
- (The 4 Charr Bosses, which had been a sacred ritual in Pre for over 20 years, no longer hold any significance today).
I wonder, in the long run, if the content updates keep being this clumsy, whether it won’t end up destroying the game rather than adding anything meaningful to it. Yes, running the dungeon was fun, I’ll admit, two or three times, but after that, I move on to something else. Will people stick around and spend money in the GW store if the content can be finished so quickly? If nothing sells in the store, the business model won’t sustain Reforged or pay the employees’ salaries. So things will go downhill, and the content will too. Overall, the Reforged hype and the potential return of players are already on a downward trend. Not to mention the difficulties they’re having getting out of alpha/beta mode.
Note: I'm not complaining, it's just an observation. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not going to wait 50 years for a train that's never going to arrive.
With Rurik tonic, the perfect match? Or just something that should have stayed a dream?:

ANet has enough data points to see what the influence of it on pre-searing and the game is. If it has a too great impact, they will absolutely intervene.
But shaking up the foundations of pre-searing is not necessarily a bad thing: it's been essentially exactly the same since the introduction of the Vanguard quests way back and it opens the doors for new challenges and content down the line in pre-searing.
Those challenges would also bring new rewards with it and there is still a lot of place to add new rewards and meaningful changes to pre-searing. I wouldn't mind to receive a new (perhaps exclusive) armor set for pre-searing, for example.

I think this a common theme we are seeing here regarding implementation of content. The dyes dont stack!!!

QuoteUpdate April 2, 2026
Hotfix:
- Fixed dungeon scaling to properly align with lowest level party member.
- If any member of the party is not in Reforged mode, the key to reach the second floor of the dungeon is not available.
- Dungeon spawns correspond to the earliest quest in the quest chain. Players with quests further in the chain will not be able to complete their quests.
- Boss key now appears on the ground instead of from a chest, which makes it available to anyone.
- Legacy "enter mission" button now only shows for party leader.
Nothing to nerf the multi-chest... ok.
Do gold still drop in pre?
People have been happily playing in the starter area of GW for 20 years. (The Vanguard quests update pissed me off so much I left the game for years. ) Pre doesn't need to change.
What is the point in messing with pre? Do they consider it an expendable area that they can use to on which to experiment?
Well from what ive seen, ppl been begging for pre dungeon or similar for decade so guess they listened what loudest ppl been saying
I am happy with any changes that motive ppl to play again, and sure wish they kept the low level OS golds rather than insc purple crap tho ![]()

this is tutorial island, so yes
its wrong though, if you want to experiment you should make a beta branch and bug test thoroughly before you roll anything out on the live servers
amateurism 101
Its insane how everybody thinks his opinion is the most important.
This game doesnt belong to you. You are just in this extremely comfortaböe position to be able to still enjoy a 20 year old game without any costs. They even give us new Updates and even content. You are not alone in this game and those updates do not break the game in any sense. You are crying about a 5 hour window of now prenerf items dropping while bots have been flooding the market with purples for the last 10 years or more.
Yes there are "better" items now with the inscr ones, but that was the case since inscr got introduced in nf and still ppl prefer os ones. "Perfect" os purple still exist and u can still use those if u prefer that.
Stop crying and enjoy what you are getting offered.

i wish there was a clown emoji to gift you
With probably only a small team focused on Guild Wars Reforged, I guess pre-searing's the only content they can work with since tweaking the larger parts of the game will take a lot of time and resources... Who knows... Maybe it'll all come together once they introduce a copy of The Forsaken Tunnels (or more dungeons) to post-searing (and beyond as well).
It's unfortunate that they messed up the in-game economy for pre with the current new as well as nerfed gold drops but it'll settle eventually as the hype starts to dissipate. Let's hope this update is the only and last major addition to pre... Currently, it's alive and well, with a good volume of actual players.
Mess up any further and they'll be opening the gates to bots rather than a Charr invasion...![]()
Now who amongst you did alpha/beta testing?![]()

We don't crying, we analyze and share differing opinions and perspectives on the game. Besides, as you so aptly point out, your opinion of us doesn't matter, we can easily do without it. However, if you have insightful opinions about the game, we're always interested.
If it stays like this, all i want is there to be purple insc crysta on drop table in pre and thatd be cool ![]()

Agree with the OP... Should be fixed asap otherwise it'll be farmed/botted to death... It's good that they caught and fixed the gold drops when they did but being able to zone in and out is a whole new exploit.
Glad I'm not a FOMO... Still happy picking up dmg: 3-4 swords somewhere in pre atm...

ty for spreading my word! appreciate the help ![]()
Do do I have to make a new character in pre to make it a reforged one?
Or can i bring my Ldoa Ele into Reforged Mode?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. People will be crying rivers either way, they might aswell do whatever the f they want ![]()

If the question is: Is this possible? Yes, you'll find a Shrine to Godly Accoutrements in Ascalon City.

Aight in die Info i really dont want to start a new reforged character in pre
There are animals/pets in The Marketplace in Kaineng Center. Any news about this?
it is in the recent patch notes. apparently they are "extra life" pets, i assume some sort of stream / donation goal

This comes from an annual event in GW2 (support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals), which is why some GW1 players aren't familiar with it. ->
if you can turn reforged mode on and off as you want, what is the point of devona requiring it?
at that point all devonas quest does is advertise reforged mode for the people who were unaware before, which i don't think can be very many by now.
