Guild Wars 2 joins the winter events – in Divinity’s Reach, there are numerous activities to complete to celebrate the cold season.
Snowball Fights and Gifts for Orphans
This year, the “Wintersday” event returns to Guild Wars 2 – however, Lion’s Arch is spared from the festivities this time. Instead, all players must head to Divinity’s Reach in a festive party mood to participate in various activities and earn plenty of rewards.
Under the decorated trees, players can open daily gifts, rewarding them with small presents, and the daily snowman building mission returns as well.
If you want to earn some karma, think of the orphans by purchasing various weapon skins (like the Princess’s Wand) for about 500 karma, wrapping them in gift wrap, and then handing them over to the orphans.
You’ll be rewarded with nearly 1500 karma, making it a great way to earn a lot of purple points.
Also returning is the 5-player instance “Tixx’s Infinirarium,” the bell ensemble, and the winter wonderland. In the snowball mayhem, revenants now also have a unique ability that allows them to create a devastating snowball aura around them.
You can also refresh your own miniature collection a bit; there are three new Skritt, each carrying a different number of packages.
Lastly, there is also a winter backpack and – for heavy players with a lot of endurance – the possibility to craft a shoulder item that creates a permanent snow effect above the player. However, this effect does not work with costumes.
The patch for Wintersday will be released next Tuesday; it is still unknown whether the festivities will start immediately. The event is accessible to all players, but Free2Play users must have reached at least character level 10 to participate in the various activities.
We are also currently holding a giveaway for Guild Wars 2 with prizes worth over 200€ – feel free to check it out and try your luck!
