The Dragon Bash festival has returned to Hoelbrak! Starting today and running until July 8, the norn capital has once again transformed into a celebration of defiance, laughter, and a whole lot of piñata smashing!

Dragon Bash is open to players of all levels, and it’s packed with activities you can jump into right away. From brawling with holographic dragons to betting on moas, there’s something for every kind of adventurer. And of course, there’s a fresh batch of rewards to earn, including the new Raven-Blessed Visage, the Sacred Raven’s weapon set, and more! Check out the full release notes for all the details for today’s festival!

No festival is complete without prizes, and Dragon Bash is packed with them. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick daily objective or diving deep into the full event, there are plenty of ways to earn new rewards and celebrate the season.

The (Annual) Dragon Bash Feats meta-achievement returns for another year of festival traditions. By finishing this year’s meta-achievement, you’ll earn the Raven-Blessed Visage, a striking avian helm imbued with the solemn power of the raven. In case you missed them, rewards from previous years can be purchased from the Dragon Bash merchant.

In addition, a new weapon set passed down from norn ancestry is now available. Earn your choice of the Sacred Raven’s weapon collection by progressing through the meta-achievement with additional selections available through the (Weekly) Dragon Bash Festivities achievements.

Three new Uncrowned Legend’s weapons—warhorn, trident, and greatsword—have also been added as rare drops from dragon coffers, but they can also be purchased from Sparking Stone, a Dragon Bash weapons vendor in Hoelbrak. Brandishing these storied armaments in battle will give your foes pause!

Beyond achievement rewards, this year’s Dragon Bash introduces a host of new collectibles and decorations. The Mini Golden Labrador makes its debut as a heart-melting festival companion, ready to follow you across Tyria with tail wags.

For decorators and builders, Deft Lahar is visiting Hoelbrak for the festival and has a variety of homestead-tailored recipes for purchase. Six new homestead recipe books are available, each unlocking homestead versions of popular Dragon Bash-themed guild hall decorations. Titled Homestead Recipe Book: Dragon Bash, Volumes 1 through 6, these collections are perfect for bringing a bit of the festival home.

Additionally, five new decorations will be available for both homesteads and guild halls. You can add warmth with the classic Norn Brazier, construct dramatic layouts with the Norn Stair, and bring rugged northern charm to your space with the Norn Structure and Norn Stone Structure. The centerpiece, the Raven Hall, offers a majestic architectural touch worthy of honoring Tyria’s enduring resilience.

Special Dragon Bash-themed objectives will be added to the Wizard’s Vault for the duration of the festival. These limited-time tasks will guide you toward festive content while helping you rack up Astral Acclaim for even more rewards.

The Dragon Bash festival is located in Hoelbrak. Check your in-game mail for an Invitation to Dragon Bash, and double-click the item to teleport instantly to Hoelbrak. The festivities can be found all over the city.

When you enter Hoelbrak, the entire city will be decorated for Dragon Bash! New activities are also available during this time. There are dragon piñatas all over the city, and you can smash them to obtain zhaitaffy, the main currency used in this festival. So, get to smashing all those candy-hoarding dragons!

If you’re looking for something fast and fiery, you can spend time betting on the moa racing! Choose your favorite feathery friend and cheer for them. If you’re teamwork oriented, the Dragon Arena is made just for you! Destroy mighty holographic dragon champions with other players.

There are also two adventures available in the city: Piñata Bashing and Time Trial: Dragon Bash Rally. The latter will allow you to race through the city with a time limit. An event variant where you can compete against others will also pop up from time to time. If you don’t have a roller beetle, you can rent one from a nearby race coordinator. Piñata Bashing is a more rigorous version of dragon smashing, with a time limit and special skills.

Finally, there is the Hologram Stampede located outside Hoelbrak. This event will occur in Wayfarer Foothills, Dredgehaunt Cliffs, Lornar’s Pass, and Snowden Drifts. On the right side of your screen, you can check where it will happen next. In each round of the stampede, you’ll have to destroy as many holograms as possible by activating hologram devices spread across the map. This is a public event, and you’ll have help from other players also participating in your map!

Dragon Bash ends on July 8, so make sure you log in and bash and smash those dragons!

Salutations, Tyrians. My name is Gerard Ledda, and I am a game designer here at ArenaNet. We’re always listening to your feedback, and we’ve been hard at work on some game updates that you’ve been asking for. Today, I’m here with the inside scoop on some quality-of-life updates that are coming in next week’s Guild Wars 2®: Janthir Wilds™ release, “Absolution.” These changes are designed to alleviate pain points, add convenience, and—most importantly—free up precious inventory space!

The Wizard’s Portal Tome is a new item that will store many of the teleportation devices you’ve earned in game, condensing more than 30 items into a single inventory slot! This tome will work much like the Living World season portal tomes, giving you a list of available destinations to choose from.

When “Absolution” releases on June 3, you can visit Astral Ward Medic Miyrna either in Bloodcoast Ward in Lion’s Arch or in the new map, Bava Nisos, to pick up a new side story achievement, Work Hard for Now. Completing that side story will reward you with the Wizard’s Portal Tome, and the Teleportation Gizmos Collector collection will track the teleportation devices that you’ve earned. Then, just bring the Wizard’s Portal Tome wherever you go, and you can free up all that inventory space!

Over the years, we’ve added many portable exchangers—commonly called “gobblers”—to the game that allow players to convert items and currency to more valuable materials. Over time, these gobblers have become so plentiful that they themselves clog up inventory space. The Wizard’s Gobbler is our solution to this problem, allowing you access to multiple exchange items without having to fumble with them individually.

Like the Wizard’s Portal Tome, a collection will track over 20 portable exchanger and gobbler items as you unlock them and offer their functionality in a single item. Visiting Lion’s Arch will retroactively update your progress if you have the item in your inventory, have completed the respective achievement, or have met other conditions. This will determine which options you can access when using the Wizard’s Gobbler. All Guild Wars 2 players can access the Wizard’s Gobbler by heading to Hooligan’s Route in Lion’s Arch and purchasing it from the charr vendor Gharr Leadclaw.

We’ve heard that your bag and bank slots are overflowing with rift essence, and we’ve got a solution coming next week!

Fine, masterwork, and rare rift essence can be converted into a wallet currency beginning June 3. You’ll be able to convert the essence yourself by consuming it or by visiting Rift Researcher Adam at Moon Camp Covert in Lowland Shore or the Rift Hunter Lounge in the Wizard’s Tower. He will be able to mass convert your essence into a wallet currency for free. Recipes, vendor costs, and rewards of rift essence will all be updated to reflect this change.

We’ve also heard your feedback about the challenge of acquiring research notes. After the next update, all crafting disciplines will have access to a new crafting recipe called Peer Reviewed Research. This item does not have a crafting rating requirement, so even novices can make it. When crafted, it grants 150 research notes!

We’ll be adjusting the purchase limits of provisioner tokens from faction provisioners in Central Tyria and Heart of Maguuma from one purchase a day per tab to seven purchases a week per tab. You’ll be able to buy the same number of items, but in one trip instead of seven!

During your adventures, you might have accumulated a surplus of Hero’s Choice Chests, and when you finally decide which item to select from them, you were faced with a difficult choice. You could open them one at a time through a time-consuming series of clicks, or you could use a bulk exchange vendor but lose out on some of the valuable loot inside.

With the release of “Absolution,” you can trade Hero’s Choice Chests and karma to the respective exchange vendors in Dragon’s Stand, Eye of the North, Arborstone, the Wizard’s Tower (requires Wayfinder Mastery), or Lowland Shore. You’ll then receive the guaranteed item in addition to a new Commander’s Choice Chest, which allows bulk selection of your choice of items. This functions like the Janthiri Renown Chests and Mistburned Renown Chests.

Finally, players will be able to double the decoration cap in their homestead from 1,000 to 2,000 after “Absolution” is live next week! Deft Lahar will sell decoration limit increase services to raise the cap by 500, and players can train the Grandmaster Handiworker Crafting tier for another 500.

Deft Lahar will also have new home instance nodes in his inventory, allowing players to purchase new gathering nodes for their homesteads or home instances.

“Absolution” is just around the corner, and we can’t wait for you to experience these new quality-of-life updates. See you in Tyria!

<p>Greetings, Tyrians! </p>
<p>The final chapter of <em>Guild&nbsp;Wars&nbsp;2&reg;:&nbsp;Janthir&nbsp;Wilds&trade;</em> arrives on June 3 with “Absolution,” a climactic update that plunges deep into the haunted heart of mursaat history. Journey into the ruins of Bava Nisos and uncover the truth behind the rift that still threatens Tyria.</p>
<p>Alongside this epic conclusion, “Absolution” also brings a new fractal, a legendary backpiece, homestead upgrades, a suite of quality-of-life changes, relics, goodies in the Wizard’s Vault, and the debut of challenge mode for Convergence: Mount Balrior, along with a Twitch Drops event to celebrate the release. Let’s take a look at what’s coming next for <em>Guild&nbsp;Wars&nbsp;2</em>.</p>
<p><iframe width="590" height="332" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/0boXkTbLZ8o?rel=0&modestbranding=1&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h3>Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds&mdash;”Absolution”</h3>
<p>When Mabon fell to the Kryptis, an ancient ward cast over the city of Bava Nisos evaporated. All its secrets were free to fester&mdash;all its ghosts danced back to life.</p>
<p>At the start of <em>Guild&nbsp;Wars&nbsp;2:&nbsp;Janthir&nbsp;Wilds</em>, the commander was sent on a mission of diplomacy to befriend the lowland kodan of the Janthir region. But just as we settled into the calming rituals of the delta lifestyle, a darker threat emerged from the shadows. Titans had somehow been released into Tyria once again, and the commander, with the aid of allies old and new, navigated the perilous reaches of Janthir to defeat these otherworldly creatures. Victory was just within reach, too, before Ura revealed with her dying breath that the door that she and her kin used to breach our realm remained wide open.</p>
<p>In the second update for <em>Guild&nbsp;Wars&nbsp;2:&nbsp;Janthir&nbsp;Wilds</em>, “Repentance,” we chased the echo of an old acquaintance through the ruins of his people’s demise as we searched for this open Mists gate. Now, in the finale of <em>Guild&nbsp;Wars&nbsp;2:&nbsp;Janthir&nbsp;Wilds</em>, we will reach the core of the titan crisis once and for all.</p>
<p class="screenshot"><a href="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/ec417gw295.jpg"><img src="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/ec417gw295-590x332.jpg" alt="an otherworldly landscape with floating islands of rock and stone that twist in unpredictable patterns." width="590" height="332" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-57814" srcset="https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...295-590x332.jpg 590w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...295-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...w295-130x73.jpg 130w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...w295-139x79.jpg 139w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...295-290x164.jpg 290w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p>
<h3>Bava Nisos</h3>
<p>Each of the three survey teams that you helped comb through Mistburned Barrens completed their research and have come to the same conclusion: something vile awaits us within the depths of Bava Nisos. When a path into the city proper is finally revealed at the start of “Absolution,” our final descent begins.</p>
<p>Once a monument to mursaat victory, Bava Nisos was built into the side of a great mountain&mdash;its sprawling halls and twisting passages branch in every direction. However, the once-opulent city is now crumbling with decay. When the Door of Komalie was opened and titans spilled out into Tyria, Bava Nisos was sieged by a bloody battle that took down one of Tyria’s most powerful societies. Most of the living mursaat and attacking titans were slaughtered. But despite their defeat and the city’s abandonment, menacing magic still lingers inside of Bava Nisos. Left alone for almost three hundred years, this magic has mutated and warped with time.</p>
<p>As the grand finale of the <em>Guild&nbsp;Wars&nbsp;2:&nbsp;Janthir&nbsp;Wilds</em> experience, Bava Nisos contains a climactic map-wide meta-event. You’ll be working alongside factions supporting the Tyrian Alliance&mdash;such as Councillor Ludo from Rata Sum and a spirited guest from Divinity’s Reach’s most elusive social club&mdash;to fight your way to the Mists gate at the city’s heart. The meta contains three main lanes that players can participate in, where you’ll face various obstacles and threats as you navigate the surreal landscape.</p>
<p>What could possibly await you inside?</p>
<p class="screenshot"><a href="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/ea410gw248.jpg"><img src="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/ea410gw248-590x332.jpg" alt="A dark cavern filled with crumbling towers and ominous winged statues." width="590" height="332" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-57815" srcset="https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...248-590x332.jpg 590w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...248-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...w248-130x73.jpg 130w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...w248-139x79.jpg 139w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...248-290x164.jpg 290w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p>
<h3>New Challenges Await</h3>
<p>The battle for Mount Balrior is about to get even more intense. In “Absolution,” we’re adding the third and final Convergences boss encounter as Ura, the titan imperatrix known as the Steamshrieker, at last makes her appearance. This godspawn commands the scalding steam and choking geysers of the mountain, making her unending wrath truly something to be feared. If you’ve fought Ura before, this encounter introduces some new mechanics to make this a fresh twist on the Mount Balrior experience!</p>
<p>And for those seeking an even greater test of skill, we’re also introducing challenge mode for Mount Balrior Convergences, offering greater difficulty, sharper coordination checks, and even more rewarding spoils for those who triumph.</p>
<p>Our newest fractal dungeon, Kinfall, also arrives on June 3. Step into the roles of a small band of lowland kodan as they defend their homeland during the Icebrood invasion of northern Tyria…and as they hear the whispers of the legendary dragon Jormag. In response to player feedback, with Kinfall we’ve intentionally stepped back from the raid-like complexity of more recent fractals in favor of a streamlined and repeatable experience reminiscent of some of our earlier fractals. The challenge mode for Kinfall will release three weeks later, in our June 24 game update.</p>
<p class="screenshot"><a href="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/72c6eKinfallFractal.jpg"><img src="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/72c6eKinfallFractal-590x332.jpg" alt="A kodan fighting a foe in a dreary blue ice cave." width="590" height="332" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-57773" srcset="https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...tal-590x332.jpg 590w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...tal-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...ctal-130x73.jpg 130w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...ctal-139x79.jpg 139w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...tal-290x164.jpg 290w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p>
<h3>Home Improvement</h3>
<p>In “Absolution,” we’re doubling the homestead decoration cap to 2,000, giving builders and dreamers the space they’ve been craving. Players can train the new Grandmaster Handiworker Crafting tier to increase the decoration limit by 500, and Deft Lahar will sell decoration limit increases to raise the cap by an additional 500. This release also introduces new decorations and adds two new resource nodes to Deft Lahar’s inventory.</p>
<p>But we’re not stopping at structural upgrades; we’re elevating the vibes as well. On June 3, the Black Lion Trading Company will debut a brand-new customization option that lets you change the appearance of your homestead’s sky. First up is a dazzling aurora borealis display that turns Hearth’s Glow into a northern dreamscape. Later this year, you’ll also be able to personalize the entrance to your homestead with skins for your conjured doorway. </p>
<p>Look forward to even more updates to homesteads in our next expansion later this year. Homesteads are beginning to rival fashion wars for the most expressive corner of Tyria!</p>
<p class="screenshot"><a href="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/33211Shimmering_Aurora_Screenshot_02.jpg"><img src="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/33211Shimmering_Aurora_Screenshot_02-590x332.jpg" alt="A peaceful homestead featuring a shimmering aurora skybox." width="590" height="332" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-57771" srcset="https://d3b4yo2b5lbf..._02-590x332.jpg 590w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf..._02-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...t_02-130x73.jpg 130w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...t_02-139x79.jpg 139w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf..._02-290x164.jpg 290w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...reenshot_02.jpg 950w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p>
<h3>Quality of Life</h3>
<p>We’ve got a hefty round of quality-of-life updates coming your way in “Absolution.” From the Wizard’s Portal Tome to hold your collection of portal scrolls to the endlessly efficient Wizard’s Gobbler, this update is full of small changes that make a big difference (and free up some much-needed inventory space)! We’ll dive into all the details in a dedicated blog later this week. Stay tuned!</p>
<h3>Summer Schedule</h3>

<p>Springtime in Tyria means one thing: it’s time for <em>Guild&nbsp;Wars&nbsp;2</em>‘s most pixelated party, the Super Adventure Festival! Moto has once again opened the doors to his virtual world, inviting players to jump, battle, and collect a treasure trove of new and returning rewards. We also have a new mini event called Ooze Kitchen Endeavors that is perfect for players who are new to the festival! Read on for a quick rundown of the activities you can participate in during this festival and the rewards you can earn.</p>
<p>This yearly festival is now live and will be available until May 6. You can check out all the details in the <a target="_blank" href="https://en-forum.gui...-15-2025/">fullrelease notes</a> on our official forums.</p>
<h3>Where to Go</h3>
<p>The Super Adventure Festival is located in Rata Sum. Check your in-game mail for an Invitation to the Super Adventure Festival and double-click the item to teleport instantly to the Super Adventure Box Hub. You can also travel to the Magustan Court Waypoint, which is conveniently located right next to the Super Adventure Box in Creator’s Commons.</p>

<h3>Epic Rewards Await</h3>
<p>This year’s festival is packed with rewards, offering both classic and brand-new items for dedicated adventurers. The Powered Boots, a stylish addition to any virtual hero’s wardrobe, can be earned by completing the festival’s meta-achievement: (Annual) Super Adventure Box Nostalgia. For those looking to expand their arsenal, the Retro-Forged Torch, Retro-Forged Axe, and Retro-Forged Trident are available from Sparking Stone, a Super Adventure Festival weapon vendor.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to wield the power of unbridled joy, the Super Rainbow Cloud weapon set is here to light up your battles! These weapons are straight out of an 8-bit dream, with chunky, retro designs and a rainbow glow that shifts and shimmers like a classic arcade fever dream. Who needs stealth when you can blind your enemies with pure prismatic power!</p>
<p>Collectors and completionists won’t want to miss the chance to earn the Mini Super Yellow Ooze, awarded for completing the Super Ooze Baker achievement. Adding to the festival’s creative flair, eight new guild hall and homestead decorations are now available, all inspired by the Super Adventure Box aesthetic. From the Super Pagoda Arch to the Super Pagoda Roof, players can now design their own virtual worlds with unique structures like pagoda doors, floors, ponds, and walls. It’s the perfect way to bring some of SAB’s charm into your guild hall or homestead instance.</p>

<h3>Introducing the Ooze Kitchen Endeavors</h3>
<p>Moto is known for his experimental creations, and this year, he’s unveiling a brand-new mini challenge: the Ooze Kitchen Endeavors. Players are invited to test this new content, accessible through remote portals found in the starting zones: Queensdale, Metrica Province, Plains of Ashford, Wayfarer Foothills, and Caledon Forest.</p>
<p>Adventurers who step through these portals will find themselves in the Ooze Kitchen, where they must battle waves of aggressive oozes to gather ooze dough. The goal? Bake the ultimate dessert monster, the Great Yellow Cake Ooze, and then defeat it before it devours you!</p>
<p>Those who prove themselves as Super Ooze bakers can earn the Mini Super Yellow Ooze, and if you’re new to the Super Adventure Box, you can get early unlocks of the mini bomb and slingshot skills, which will help you on your virtual adventure. And of course, there are baubles to be won, making this a great way to stock up on currency for other festival goodies.</p>
<p>The best part? Anyone can participate. The Ooze Kitchen Endeavors is open to all players, even those just starting out, thanks to its easy access from starting zones.</p>
<p class="screenshot"><a href="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/e9cd7YellowOoze_01.jpg"><img src="//d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/e9cd7YellowOoze_01-590x332.jpg" alt="A human female wields the Retro-Forged Torch and Axe while standing next to the Mini Super Yellow Ooze." width="590" height="332" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-57556" srcset="https://d3b4yo2b5lbf..._01-590x332.jpg 590w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf..._01-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...e_01-130x73.jpg 130w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf...e_01-139x79.jpg 139w, https://d3b4yo2b5lbf..._01-290x164.jpg 290w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p>
<h3>Step into the Super Adventure Box!</h3>
<p>Once you enter the Super Adventure Box, your usual skills take a back seat, replaced by a new set designed specifically for this retro-inspired challenge. While inside, you won’t take fall damage, but you also can’t use mounts or gliders&mdash;though you’ll find yourself much springier than usual!</p>
<p>The adventure spans two fully playable worlds, each packed with enemies, puzzles, and secrets. You can tailor your experience with different gameplay modes: Exploration Mode, which offers helpful guidance for those who prefer a more relaxed journey, and Tribulation Mode, which cranks up the difficulty for thrill seekers who enjoy a punishing test of skill.</p>
<p>Your quest begins in World 1, where you embark on a mission to rescue Princess Miya. Armed with nothing but a humble stick, you’ll need to fend off foes, hunt for hidden doors, and collect baubles&mdash;your key to purchasing better weapons and useful tools from in-world merchants. Some of these tools, like bombs, can even reveal secret areas filled with extra treasures.</p>
<p>Combat is simple yet strategic. Every hit you take costs you hearts, and losing them all will cost you a life. As long as you have lives left, you’ll respawn at your last checkpoint. Run out of lives? No problem! Just grab a Continue Coin from Moto and keep going! </p>
<p>Log in and experience the game within the game as the Super Adventure Festival is around until May 6. Happy adventuring!</p>
