Free Storage Pane Giveaway
Lastly, to celebrate our anniversary, we have a limited-time offer where you can get a FREE pane of Xunlai Storage. Our upcoming promotion will be the ONLY way to get this special pane; it is extra, which means you can’t buy it later. Keep an eye on the website and we’ll explain how you can get this bonus storage.
The Zaishen Menagerie
In a beautiful, lush new explorable area in the Battle Isles, the Zaishen Order runs a tight business breeding and training all the common and prestige pets from around the world for their clientele. There are a few ways you can start your own collection in the Menagerie. Bring any pet with you or your Heroes to the Tamer in the Menagerie Grounds. The Tamer will check your pet’s evolution and unlock that tier and any lower tiers. Adding charmed pets to the Menagerie is absolutely free. You can also use Balthazar Faction or pay with Zaishen Coins and gold to have the Zaishen Order unlock and train evolutions of pets for you. This way, you’ve got several choices for unlocking all your pets.
The Zaishen Challenge Quests
Many are familiar with the Zaishen Challenge in the Battle Isles, and soon the Zaishen will extend their Challenge in the form of new quests. There will be three different types of Zaishen Challenge Quests: Mission, Bounty, and PvP.
* Mission quests send you to replay storyline missions from each campaign.
* Bounty quests dispatch you to kill boss monsters in dungeons, veteran missions, and explorable areas.
* PvP quests challenge you to win battles in various PvP types.
Each day, a new quest of each type is available in the Great Temple of Balthazar. You can complete these Zaishen Challenge Quests any time you wish; however, you can only have three in your quest log at once. The most comprehensive strategy is to finish challenge quests the day you get them, so you free up space in your quest log for the next day’s batch. Check back daily to take on the new Zaishen Challenge Quest experience, whether in relaxed solo runs or paired up with a friend or larger group for co-op play.
We’re finally at our fourth anniversary! We couldn’t have come this far without each and every one of you, so in addition to our upcoming Fourth Year Anniversary Update, we’re throwing a big party in your honor.
The festivities begin on Thursday, April 23 after the live update and run until noon on Wednesday, April 29.
Games Galore
You’re in luck! Whether you’re feeling “Lucky” (pun intended) or simply looking for some fun, the citizens of Shing Jea Monastery have once again reopened the Boardwalk. Found only in their village, the Shing Jea Boardwalk’s games of chance will satisfy the most robust adventurers, and the more fortune-favored.
If you’re after the competitive thrill, you can battle it out in the Dragon Arena or enter a Rollerbeetle Race.
* To enter the Dragon Arena, speak with Captain Li Sah.
* To test your skill at Rollerbeetle Racing, speak with the Rollerbeetle Trainer.
* Find these NPCs in Lion’s Arch, Shing Jea Monastery, Kamadan, and the Great Temple of Balthazar.
Presents for All
In true birthday fashion, we’ll once again have plenty of presents for you! Starting at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, April 28, characters turning four will find a gift in their inventories that has a new miniature from this year’s birthday series. Characters turning one, two, or three will receive a wrapped miniature from that corresponding set of past Guild Wars birthday presents. We give birthday presents year round, so each of your characters will receive gifts on their personal birthdays (creation dates).
Join the festivities and have some fun with us—after all, Guild Wars only turns four once!
Thanks again to each and every one of you for continued support. We wish you the best of adventures in the coming year. Enjoy yourselves and, just as important, enjoy the moment!
