Festival Of The Four Winds And Legendary Upgrade Community Event Now Live In Guild Wars 2

The Festival of the Four Winds is now live in Guild Wars 2 with the release of the latest patch. Tyria’s annual summer event brings with it a whole host of activities such as PvP and PvE battles in the Crown Pavilion, the return of the Bazaar of the Four Winds, kites, hot air balloons, aerial races, and more.

“Queen Jennah herself presides over the festivities in Divinity’s Reach, where ambitious contenders do battle in the Crown Pavilion for prestige and rewards. Join the Boss Blitz melee to take down vicious villains, and compete in one-on-one matchups with notorious challengers in the Queen’s Gauntlet.

Traders, crafters, and other compelling and mysterious individuals have gathered for the Bazaar of the Four Winds. Relax on the beach, hunt for sky crystals, barter for goods, or just do a little quiet people-watching. Be sure to take your griffon for a spin around the cliffs—and offer the Zephyrites a warm welcome back.”

The cash shop has also been updated with seasonal items including an exclusive raptor skin and paraglider. Check out the video below for an overview of the festival activities.

Also live in Guild Wars 2 today is the Legendary Upgrades global community event. “[. . .] Citizens will be called on to trade in their piles of lucent crystals to crafting discipline grandmasters in exchange for Satchels of Loot, with the goal of forcing the knowledge out of the Mystic Forge. Every donation progresses a global community goal. Once the goal is complete, the ability to create new materials for legendary upgrades will become available to every discipline that can craft upgrades.”
