GW2 Support Your Candidate

Posted on by

Support Your Candidate event starts on July 23rd. Two candidates Evon Gnashblade and Ellen Kiel are trying to work out a trade agreement with the Zephyr Sanctum in order to help them secure a spot on the Captain’s Council of Lion’s Arch. Use Support Tokens to help out your candidate of choice.
 
After receiving introduction mail don’t forget to collect Support Tokens from the mail. Support Tokens can be acquired from slain mobs; in dungeons; by participating in Candidate Trials, Southsun Survival and Aspect Arena; and in World vs. World. They can also be purchased from the vendor Shady Quill:

  • 1 Support token 14 silver
  • 10 Support tokens 1 gold

 
When you get the tokens put them in your candidate’s Support basket (in the center of Zephyr Sanctum) and you’ll get a Representation Buttons which are consumable. When you activate the button (double click), a floating token will appear over your left shoulder, and while you are doing the content, you will get a credit for that particular candidate. Support baskets for Gnashblade and Kiel have been set up near the Zephyrites’ water supply on the Zephyr Sanctum in the Labyrinthine Cliffs. The Zephyrites will stop accepting Support Tokens on August 5 at 11AM PST in order to start counting them up. Be sure to turn in your Tokens before then

GW2 New Account Achievement Rewards

Posted on by

According to Matt Wuerffel, one of the game designers at ArenaNet, Guild Wars 2 team has prepared several changes to the achievements system.

New Rewards

In the upcoming release, a reward structure will be added to achievement points. As you complete achievements and increase your achievement score, you’ll unlock new, exclusive rewards for your account. Don’t worry – the system is retroactive! Every point that you’ve earned while adventuring across Tyria will count towards exciting rewards, including:

 

  • Exclusive armor and weapon skin unlocks – including Radiant armor, Hellfire armor, and the Zenith weapon set.
  • Permanent account bonuses—permanent boosts to Magic Find, experience from kills, karma gain, and more. Earn achievement points on any character and get rewards for all of your characters.
  • Currencies – gold, gems, karma, and laurels.
  • PvP Rewards—skins and glory boosters.
  • WvW Rewards—use Badges of Honor and siege blueprints to help push your server to victory.
  • Utility Items—Instant Repair Canisters, Revive Orbs, powerful boosters, and more.
  • Unique Titles—show off your dedication to your fellow players.

 

New User Interface

In addition to the new reward structure, we’ve revamped the achievements panel UI to make it easier than ever to dig into the achievements system. There are some big changes:
 

  • Summary page—This page gives you quick access to all of the achievement skins you’ve unlocked, achievements you’ve recently completed, and your account bonuses.
  • Details page—Use this page to drill down into individual achievements to find detailed objectives, point breakdowns, and other useful information like suggested locations and potential rewards.
  • Watch list—Track up to 20 specific achievements in the Watch List panel and display the top six in the HUD.
  • Category grouping—Achievement categories are now organized into groups to allow faster navigation and easier access to the information you want.
