    Wolf's Greed, req. Channeling - Domain of Fear, Nightfall - Chest. (This item can be dyed, but no difference when applied to the skin).

    Edit:

    Tiger's Pride, req. Soul Reaping - Poisoned Outcrops, Nightfall - Chest. (This item can be dyed, but no difference when applied to the skin).

  • How did Guild Wars treat you today?

    I'm going to sound like a person who's never happy or blazed. These new mods and the leadership requirement for shields, for example, bore me. I was done with the weapons of my PvE characters and heroes, no desire to change or adapt. :sleeping: (It also gives too much advantage to new skins, such as leadership shields.)

  • So, which song is on your mind today?

    The kitschier the better.

  • 20th Year Update Announcement

    Quote from trademeimfamous

    now the big question: are those decade skins also available as drops?

    would be kinda lame if they aren't

    Yes they are (see updated text) (For the store the update must be manual, item by item, patience!)

    Update, April 15, 2025 - 20th Anniversary

    Hello friends! Today we released the special 20th Anniversary Update to Guild Wars.

    Twenty years ago we set out to make something really special with Guild Wars. Today we're celebrating that journey with this special update.

    We've made it easier than ever to play Guild Wars. The new Guild Wars: The 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Collection includes all three campaigns (Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall), Eye of the North, some special bonus items, and now, the Bonus Mission Pack.

    And it is available a little bit later today and until April 29th at 80% off - our best deal ever.

    And you can load up on costumes and other quality-of-life add-ons at 60% off!

    Visit The Guild Wars Store.

    New Anniversary Content

    For the full list of limited weapons now permanently available as rare drops, check out last week's update Feedback:Game_updates/20250409.

    Here is an overview:

    • Various weapons previously limited to pre-order bonuses or special promotions, and a few weapons previously exclusive to the PvP Reward system, have been added to loot tables across Tyria, Cantha, Elona and Eye of the North.
    • In some cases, weapons are only dropped by enemies in their associated campaign.
    • These weapons are low drop rate and only appear at Rare quality.

    Additionally, there is a new series of permanent quests which allow you to revisit the stories and endgame areas of Guild Wars in Hard Mode. They are permanently available from Merrise, Sworn to Seas in Embark Beach.

    • These quests reward a series of Miniatures previously only available in limited numbers as prizes from conventions or contests. To preserve the value of the original pre-release items, these cannot be traded between players.
    • In the case of the Miniature Gray Giant, the new quest rewards the Broken Toy needed to start the quest "The Toy's Story". The Miniature Gray Giant received from this quest is not tradeable.

    During the Anniversary festival each year, a series of Unique weapons featuring some of the returning weapons and new mods have been added to the Ancient Anniversary Weaponsmith.

    One More Thing ...

    We're excited to announce we have permanently added a new series of suffix mods, "of the (Profession)". These are available as rare drops on main-hand weaponry. These mods have the following special features:

    • They increase the associated profession's Primary Attribute stat up to a small limit, even if the equipping character normally would not have access to it.
    • The weapon will be upgraded with a special streak effect when used in combat, based on the profession's associated color. In the case of spears, bows, rods and staffs, which often don't support a streak on the weapon itself, this streak is applied to their projectiles.
    • For Rods, as with other suffixes, these mods will only appear in Nightfall or Eye of the North areas.

    Item Updates and Bug Fixes

    Item updates:

    Bug fixes:

    • Fixed an issue that caused the Anniversary elite skills Shadow Theft and Heroic Refrain to not increase attributes that had zero points invested.
    • Fixed an issue that caused the "Deals 20% additional damage during Festival events" weapon mod to add more damage than intended.
    • Frame rate is now capped at maximum 180 fps to prevent the graphics system from stealing CPU from the networking system. (Modern graphics cards can easily render the game over 400 fps!)
    • Fixed a bug that would cause an arithmetic exception on some larger displays.

  • How did Guild Wars treat you today?

    Yeap start now! (For the store the update must be manual, item by item, patience!)

  • 20th Anniversary Mini-Pet Impact Discussion

    Quote from Arena

    zippy boy and post it in the gw drama section. Anyways let’s get back to the topic. I’m excited to get myself a mkg

    As excited as my first rank 6 on a character... get it, then 1 hour later we move on. I mean, it's how you get it that's important. When it comes to skin of minis , if they were all free, some players would switch. (Too few minis have special animation when they move).

  • 20th Anniversary Mini-Pet Impact Discussion

    Regarding my remarks on the sale of the yeti, I emphasize and percist, whatever the feat(s) to be made to have the minis of the 20th, it is inexcusable to sell them a few days before the update, knowing full well that prices will fall.

    I very much doubt that, as luck would have it, current players will sell these minis and do so just a few days before the event. But I totally understand the love one can have for these originals. Selling them in this way shows disrespect for them.

  • Zehtuka's Pack

    Hi,

    I'm seeing requests between 20e and 8a... so I'd like to know what price you'd be willing to pay, bearing in mind that there's no fixed price for this item at the moment.


    Thank you in advance for your answers

    Quote from justice

    I am more interested in the quests being dropped in. Are these going to be hard mode versions or just quests needing to be completed in hard mode? I am curious if they actually went and rebalanced some endgame areas for these "hardmode" quests.

    Quote

    These quests will send you to replay the story missions and endgame areas of Guild Wars to prove your skills once more, so prepare for a tour of your triumphs to earn these miniatures.

    I think that being a broad public event and not an elitist element, it will correspond to a simple achievement. Like The Deep = Kanaxai, Urgoz = IG, etc. But that would mean 6 elite zones + 6 cooperative missions (?) It's a bit strange. Maybe the way to get these minis won't be as a quest reward or to trade for the reward (1 quest = 1 item to trade = 1 mini per quest). I'm thinking it could also be different, or even a random gain, like with Reverie Gift.
