So apparently this is going to happen about every year, my question is, will we be able to do it again and get the reward if we did it last year or not? Will they maybe give a destroyer weapon instead of a tormented weapon this year? An oppressor weapon?

think it will be the same as last year....one per account, one tormented weapon.

Happy they are doing it again since I didnt get around to completing it on my 2nd account (didnt get to rotscale).

Happy to see it coming back. Sort of enjoyed running all over Tyria.

Don't know how I feel about the free Tormented weapon though, but whatever.

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

What to choose?! Very intriguing, but I don't know which one to pick.

ooooooooo....something new...


a reason to do it on my main account now (I am going to take the mini!, hope its one of those uber elite ones I am missing ).

I would say the loot bag is probably something like battle iced tea and such.

Summoning stone has unlimited uses but it will cost a skill point when you use it.
The tonic and the minipet is untradeable

I got 20 Grails of Might from the loot bag. I would guess that Essences, Armors of Salvation and Powerstones are the other possibilities.

Do they come customized (aka: can any player on your account use them, especially the summoning stone)?

Asked a guildie who got the Summoning Stone. Stone isn't customized.

Update. The stone is also untrade-able.

Another update. Tonic cannot be used outside of Towns/Outposts.

thanks for the info, guess they dont want these getting off the accounts that did all the work for them--understandable considering the weapons from last year were customized.

been getting a lot of lockpicks (even had a boss drop 2!)....and some of my characters who have been toooo lazy to carto have been given a reason to finish up a few areas as well.

Does the summon have any skill? How does the skill slot thing work?

Ok I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer.

When I try to take the quest from Fylinn, There's no option to accept it. It says that the rewards are account bound on the wiki. Now I assumed that it meant that once per year, you can take the quest and play through to earn the rewards. But it seems to be that once you've played through any year that it's no longer available to that account? That doesn't make a lot of sense considering the rewards are different this year. Can somebody please explain this clearly to me what I'm doing wrong?

You have to take the individual quests from the Festival NPC's at LA, Kaineng, EOTN and Kamadan.

yeah, you only go to flyn for the reward (I did the same thing too ). Then I read the link to the event and found I had to go to each of the places to get the quest (which does make more sense since I have different characters doing different parts).

I was told by a Guildie that it has 2 elites (100b and "Coward!"). So, it's obviously running a sword build. But, beyond that I have no idea.

So no weapon but I have to admit that summon stone seems sick. I never use a tank hero (use minions/spirits instead) but a summon stone tank sounds fine to me, especially if it's Rytlock Brimstone with 2 elites. I'm still working on skill hunter but I think I'm fine on skill points, I have almost 600.

I'm very surprised that we are getting new rewards now (in a time I couldn't expect it less). Very nice imho although a bit strange that it's just a model from gw2 that was copy&pasted.

I'm also happy that I have all 4 proofs of the last year left (because I didn't want to take an ugly torment weapon). So hopefully I can get two rewards this year (already took the summoning stone and now enjoying wandering through tyria atm.).

Yep, I thought the same. It fits really well in my melee-less team of my monk.

Well - I honestly don't remember ever using a summon. Tonic that is usable only in towns is worthless for me. So I guess I'll go with the mini, though it's sad that rewards are not tradable

summons are worth it if you have the stones and are doing HM content, if I'm doing dungeons or vanquishes of more than one zone in a row (caravan vanquishing) merchant summoning stones are almost necessary (unless there's vendors in the zone), and merchants are also warriors so they can tank a little.

You can get a lot of mysterious and merch stones from nicholas the traveler. The mysterious summoning stones are a cheap way to have an extra ally, though most summons from mysterious stones don't have an elite skill (a few do, like saltspray dragon, white rabbit, or smoke phantom), zaishen stones from PVP summon allies with elite skills, and so do imperial guards from the imperial guards reinforcements orders, which you can get from winds of change (same with the Tengu signal flare). The other stones/items aren't usually worth seeking but use them if you have them, the shining blade horn summons 3 allies, even without elites that's a help.

Just in case, the summon can indeed be used by any char on your account (and on a side-note, I love 100b with 16 chan Splinter Weapon ).

And in case someone's wondering: you can pick the new reward even if you didn't get the torment weapon last year.

Finally finished on 2 characters (one who did it last year and the other had not)...got the mini on the first and a weapon for the 2nd (didnt have one yet on that account )

yes you get the same dialog for either character, however, with the one that had gotten the weapon last year the option for it is not available (see images)

and here is a pic of the mini (and my rit):

Uhm, I have a problem with getting my reward. I had the proofs of last year still left in my chest so spoke to Fylinn and got my summoning stone. Then I did the quest for this year and gathered all proofs. No Fylinn doesn't want to give me another reward. Doesn't matter one which char I try bring her the proofs. Does anyone have the same problems or a way around it?

Your account may only complete the quest once per event and, since you've done it once, you can't repeat it despite gathering the Proofs last time.

I know that, but Fylinn isn't a quest giver, just the reward giving person. I did the quest two times (last year and this year). Why shouldn't I get two rewards (like anyone else who did the quest two times) only because I didn't pick up the reward right away last year?

I wasn't online for the last Wayfarer's Reverie, but I must admit a skill point using summoning stone is a lot nicer than those weapons. I suppose someone could burn through skill points after a long while. The summon seems to survive fairly well compared to other summons.

It's nice to always have a summon. A lot of more average players don't have the stacks of stones. Then again always having the same one can get stale. Normal stones you have to buy, earn, and use up. Or they have some sort of randomness to them.

Also like trading in my drops for consumables and title stuff that I choose.

Does anyone else think the Legionnaire model needs some more work put into it? The head and body look fine but the neck is too long and actually looks broken and when he opens his mouth it looks like the part where his tongue should be isn't finished.
