Special Events

Guild Wars has Special Events throughout the year. They help keep the masses interested and give the regular users a chance to pick up something a bit different.

Here is a mask that I got for one of my characters last year. I've also managed to get various Halloween and Wintersday headgear such as Santa Hats and Pumpkin Heads. You can only get these for your characters during the special events.

These special events are also an opportunity to get hold of special items. For exaple this Wintersday, I got some Candy Cane Weapons and a Gingerbread Shield, as well as a potion that turns you into an elf!!!

None of these things are given away, you have to find them or earn them. Last Halloween the Mad King visited and had us jumping and shouting for his gifts!!

And during Wintersday I had to take Rudolph walkies on a quest to find some missing prezzies!!

And of course the towns and outposts get a makeover, as do the inhabitants like this frog who has his own little hat.

It's all good fun!!

Oh - before you ask what is Wintersday. This is the politically correct term the developers came up with for an Xmas type celebration that wouldn't offend!!
