Chronicles of Tyria Highlights

• Meta-Events
• Chain-Events
• Champions Hunting
• Mini-Dungeons
• Story Mode Dungeons - For some of the dungeons

In Queensdale I see two meta events listed, The Battle for Bettletun and Secrets of the Swamp. Here's my source: http://duguild.com/gallery/image/974-meta-events-map-kryta-queensdale/ From the GW2 Wiki, the chains for each: Meta events The Battle for Beetletun (11-13) Defend Tunwatch Redoubt (12) Destroy Holdland Camp's weapon caches before they amass a counter attack (12) Success: Prevent the Tamini from retaking Holdland Camp (12) Stop the Tamini from capturing farmers (12) If any farmers captured: Rescue the captive farmers (13) Secrets in the Swamp (8-15) Drive back Underworld creatures by destroying portals in the Eldvin Monastery (10) Drive back Underworld creatures by destroying portals in the Heartwoods (11) Drive back Underworld creatures by destroying portals in Taminn Foothills (14) Drive back Underworld creatures by destroying portals in the swamp (15) Group: Defeat the shadow behemoth (15) **This event chain is on a 2.5 hour timer. This event will not trigger if Defeat the champion rotting ancient oakheart is active. Dungeon wise we have Cadecus's Manor. Story Mode can be completed on average in 45 minutes (this includes time to watch all cut scenes and assuming the party is at level in blue/green gear). I'd recommend this dungeon as relevent to the zone in that it involves Queen Jenna and an in-depth look at the Seperatists who exist in most of the Krytan zones. Then again I'll probably recommend all of them ;) Here's the Group events: Group: Eliminate the champion bandit lieutenant (5) Group: Destroy the champion wasp queen (9) Group: Defeat the champion rotting ancient oakheart (10) Group: Hunt and slay the giant boar (10) Group: Slay the enraged champion cave troll (11)

Good write up Twilah. I would definitely recommend the dungeon, as well, because it definitely is an important piece to the lore of Kryta and what is going on there. From what I seen in the game there is not yet a full truce between the Human's and the Charr, but a good amount of work going on to make it happen. Humans have their Separatists that don't agree and the Charr have their Reneagades who don't. This is one of the undercurrents that flows in the game in the process of uniting to fight the Elder Dragons.

Every Heart area will actually have a boss for it believe it or not. Though the spawn rate of them is pretty brutal time wise. Queensdale.

I disagree on the boss timers for hearts. I've had several of those listed at 2-4 hours spawn more often than that, while I was in those areas.

A lot of the bosses spawn quicker if there are more people around. In Metrica Province, at the Thaumanova Reactor is a secret boss event which is easy to spawn if someone gets Matrix Cube Key and charges it before hand. It spawns a lvl 18 champ steam ogre, there is a chest and an achievement for killing him. The key is hidden in the reactor and charging it involves knowing where, but if someone got it ready a head of time then you could just take everyone into the middle and kill the champ simple enough. I've been farming the key for the past few days already, cause the chest can spawn a unique exotic staff I want for my ele lol http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_misplaced_steam_ogre

Also in Queensdale there's another champ spider that is usually up, no chest though. 'Queen's Forest: On a hill southeast of the Hunting Lodge heart - within sight of the lodge, half way to the waterworks, where the Champion Queen Spider can be found'

Good News! I have secured 5 $25 Gem cards from RaidCall and 100 Guild Wars 2 in Game T-Shirts from ArenaNet to give out during this event series. ArenaNet is looking into other prizes they can pony up as well. Gaiscioch (with the help of Mr. Denji) will be giving away 2x20 Slot Bags each week as well as prizes. Now for the fun part. How can we turn this into a contest :). I was thinking of having 5 Trivia Questions at the mid point for those that participate. 2 For T-Shirts 2 For Bags with Grand Prize giveaways at the completion of each chapter. 1 $25 Gem Card 1 TBA by ArenaNet If any of you want to personally take up making a item such as a legendary or something to give away at the season end please let me know. I'd love to have lots of things to give out. On the first part of each chapter we will be giving away 8 and 10 slot bags to participants who bring a character under level 15. This should be a lot of fun and I totally want to get a screenshot of all of us at the end with Guild Wars 2 T-shirts :)

This is gonna be awesome!, I can't wait. I am 400 cook and 400 jeweller on my ele, and will watch for events and such. I can also make 8 and 10 slot bags, so let me know if you need stuff made. I can cook a bunch of stuff up for low level characters if you want food to hand out with the bags.
