Looks like those quests can be done one single time, cause the npc refuse to talk with my others chars on main account.

ES Staff and Tactics Shield here. Looks like that might be it for the drop table?

Can you trade the Proofs among your characters? As I (for shame) still do not have a single character that has completed all 3+1 campaigns.

THANKS ANET!!

ANet has said that you can continue to earn points for you HoM as long as the GW1 account was created before GW2's release. This does seem to be a chance for people to add some points at the last minute that would otherwise cost some money.

Is doing Doa still making sense? I think it is. The reason is that you need access to all parts of the game for this quest. So for people who don't have that kind of access or e.g. didn't even start a campaign, still will buy tormented weapons. Besides that this is clearly a festival-event so after the festival people are very likely in need again of tormented weapons.

For the rest I really liked the quests. and although I have all vanquishing titles, there where a few things I had never seen/noticed. Like the leviathan or standing on the edge of anvil rock.

Got a tormented ele energy staff on my ele. Only tormented weapon in my hall so far was the shield.

My question for those who are finished:
What part did you enjoy the most having to revisit it?
Mine was the spot in the flame temple, being reminded of the 100 deaths I died before I finally was able to touch Althea's ashes for a second before dying again

Switched to Mo/P and equipped a spear/shield and the gift gave me a divine staff =[ Wanted a shield QQ (Had a tormented sword in my hall at the time of opening)

I have to say my favourite part was seeing places that I haven't been to before... I haven't fully vanquished Tyria so getting to see the falls was really cool =]

Second account got a tormented fast casting staff (the char used to to open the reverie gift was a mesmer). This account had no tormented weapon dedicated in hom.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Opened my gift with mesmer and received a Tormented Tactics Shield. I already had the Tormented Domination staff, Wand and Focus in my inventory at the time.

Nice little update to the game. I think the Wayfarer's Marks are a bit on the stingy side though because we get one 1-point consumable in exchange for one Wayfarer's Mark. They don't drop much.

Ya somebody would have to spend the next 2 weeks farming them to get any significant reward.

Also cause you get a random weapon here, so if you want a specific one...like, there's probably only 2-3 torm weapons I like, any other I'd get I'd just trash cause no tradable.

Any confirmation of the quests being there only for the event? I have a friend who's being away til Sep and I'd be sad if he would totally miss them.

Lovely prizes, but I'm worried that I might get a tormented weapon I already have. If only there was a way to manipulate what kind of weapon I would receive...

So what if you did the quests on multiple chars without grabbing the reward yet.
And then turned them in. Would it stop working after the first character?

I think you can manipulate what weapon you want to an extent. I already had a scythe on my Dervish, so I transferred my gift to my necro and got a soul reaping staff. Also, there was a previous post in this thread of a person getting a weapon completely different to their profession only when he had every other class specific weapon in his inventory.

Actually that does not mention the quest at all.
For all we know (and that would be rather logical) the quest is permanent.

I disagree (though making them permanent would be a nice touch).
The quote I made is talking bout a "bonus" that will end the 30th. They are not talking bout the drops cause they are mentioned separate. What other bonus is there during the Wayfarer’s Reverie.

The 4 quests are listed under festival quests in your questlog (so giving a good indication it is only there for the duration of the festival) and they are all named after the name of the festival. (e.g. Wayfarer’s Reverie: Cantha).

Hmm since I have all the tormented weapons I'll just keep the proofs as a novelty like hundreds of other items.
I like them though

I've already done the bit with the mausoleum, couldd someone test to see if this part can be done just from running kierans quest. This may help a few people.

Yes.. some form of PvP care as well( even if it's minimal) could have been done..

At worse, even something like a quest such as :
- Explore Random arenas : get a match on all maps
- Explore Fort Aspenwood : talk to all commanders on luxon side / talk to gunther and others on kurzick one
- Explore Jade Quarry : walk on the 3 shrines
- Explore Heroes Ascent : punish the zaishen warriors and explore 3 diferent maps
- Explore Guild Halls : get a GvG match on 3 different guild halls

But those pve quests were rather fun, although the reward at the end was a little bit disappointing...

Has anyone gotten a non-tactics tormented shield? And if you have, has it been on a paragon or another profession?

I got a torm spear on my monk. I guess its one I don't have in HoM but I do have an oppressor spear, it's irrelevant for me as I already have 50/50 but thought the info might be useful

The proofs make sense, but what good are the Wayward Marks if they can only be used for 1pt items? Wouldn't it make more sense to just let those items drop from enemies instead of making a new item/npcs to be exchanged for them?

Maybe there's going to be an event at the end? Kind of like how Victory tokens are exchanged for consumables throughout the festival and at the end can be exchanged for a mask?

Did people with Dragon Orbs know that there was going to be a mask for collecting a stack? Arenanet is pretty good at informing users in advance they get something special for collecting such trinkets.

That is true but you could argue that the tormented weapons were kind of a surprise :P Honestly that's the only reasonable reason I could come up with >.< I'm still waiting to see if the last 2 of the "Sworn to ____" NPCs will be used in this festival or not (as someone said previously).

I think this answers:

I find it an enourmous waste btw that for once they add new content they only make it for limited time and once per account. Why not keep the quests, do only the tormented weapon once per account while the rest doable with every char? Just for the sake of having something new to do, who cares about rewards.

uhm...I took the elona quest with my rit and did part of it...then because my monk was there, took it with that one too---I STILL have the quest active on my rit even though my monk took it as well....

and yeah, I agree, you should be able to do the quests with more than one character (for the xp and plat if nothing) just not get the flame thingy--that can be only once per account.
