After slowly building up 200 zkeys over the years and then waiting a few months for a chance at the April tonic, I finally burned them all for the hom statue at the beginning of the month and now they added guaranteed drops to the chest...

Edit: And here's a video for anyone interested in seeing what farming this is like.

hello mates,
the hype would have been much "more real" and bigger, if they would have given us a proper and final balance update for all professions instead of silly new weapons.
What is the best looking wepaon good for, when your profession and a lot of skills suck?
well...guess this was our last chance and hope for a balance update.
best regards

I am immensely disappointed by the Monk weapon. Melee characters get cool stuff like dual axes, non-Monk casters get a variety of nice sword-skinned wands and even the Ritualist, who gets a staff, at least gets a good staff skin. Monk gets... wait for it... ghostly staff.

How can you be disapointed seriously ?
Just read the first page of this topic, NO ONE was expecting that much new content.
It is not big but it is still 2 new sets of weapons but it is much more than what we expected at first.

well, my ele is pleased with her new toy, and melonni got a real scythe (instead of the free eye one).
and all of my alt accounts are happy to have more storage (I will NEVER turn down the chance to hoard more stuff
)
(and yes, it would have been nice if they had gotten a full new set for the decade ones...like perhaps the staff that the dwarves have?)

Everyone is hyped for farming already but none has posted screens of the actual weapons, so here is one :

According to the wiki update, Raisu Palace is it's own region but when I completed it I didn't get a proof. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm at 19 proofs and can't get the last one.
Arkon Necrocannibal
Raisu Palace probably goes with Shiro.
Have you done Vizunah/Tahnkai/Naphui/Sunjang ?

shiro or raisu? I think they might consider those both to be that one.
by the way I didnt get the notice of being a legend on my ranger who had not done missions in kryta,...but I think I got the proof (I cant remember how many I had at the time, but I had at least one in my inventory to keep the space open for another)...does this cause issues?

so I took a look at what you need to get the proof of steel and all you need is to participate in 3 matches (yeah I never pvp'd before so...winning was out of the question, though I did win one match, somehow---)
so I was able to get a proof of steel and took a screen of it as well as the items you can trade it for. Looks like you get flames, party/sweets or zkeys.

The easiest thing by far is make a Nightfall Charracter, do the first mission, drop the Proof of Legends in storage, delete char > RINSE REPEAT. Also upon just showing one Proof of Legends @ Palora-Sworn of Earth, grants you ONE FREE STORAGE PANE! New Hype : At the anniversary date MAYBE a miniature & costume/headgear will be handed out aswell, so make sure you have plenty of ANY proofs!! |
Augury Rock here I come ... in droves! (And I only have one account).
To me the weapons aren't important though I'm fine with getting them. :-)
The important thing is FINALLY getting that extra pane of storage!!!! If that was it for this celebration it would be fine by me. The weapons are just the icing. The cake was the important thing.
Shayne Hawke
Could someone please do some research for me on the Rival Skies axe(s) and find out how they behave under the effects of a weapon spell? I'm interested in knowing if both axes become spirit axes, if just the main hand one does, if the off-hand axe switches back to a shield, etc.

did you do unwaking waters? that is considered part of the jade area so you would still need to do a kurzick area.

I'm still confused why Raisu Palace is listed as a separate region on the wiki when people are suggesting it isn't.
Juniebug
HOWEVER!! Because of the update changing the level requirement for Proofs,
now we know that [for sure] Anet pays attention to GW. That update and the fix for the Balth weps that wouldn't accept mods ... came priddy quickly!! So they DO watch us!!

This^.
They are probably not In Game but...
What is the best way to look for how the game is going ?
Well, there are not too many websites. Guru and the facebook group (GWANH) are, I think, pretty well watched.
When the community just started """crying""" about nothing new for the birthday and when people were talking about action to conduct against ArenaNet, they choose this specific time to reveal that yes there will be new content for the event.
So, thank you Arena Net for this very nice event
For for those previous 10 years. 10 more years would be nice

wasnt able to get that pilgrimage quest again on my main account (it says per character--but I wonder if its per account as well), so I tried (and pvp'd pathetically) on my 2nd account and got a decade box (zaishen war chest) and got 3 zkeys from it.
yes I am happy they still read our forum (though they dont log in), and that they figured out that something was not right with the proof/quest/acquisitioning...though there are usually bugs when they roll new things out, so it was not unexpected that this one would have them as well.

My mesmer Alastrine got her new staff.

Still farming the Proofs on the pre-update servers. I've got the process so streamlined now that I'm getting flagged for making too many new characters in a short period. Doing this farm over and over has been more fun than I've had in RBR in the last year.
Zahr Dalsk
Hmm. I guess the thing to do now for those of us who did close our clients would be making Factions characters since you always get to level 5 by the time you get to the first mission. I think Elementalist primary, Warrior secondary would probably be the most efficient in terms of NPC location.
A lot slower than Chahbek, but it is what it is.

-No reward for Arborstone. My inventory was full at the time so maybe that had something to do with it. Wiki says this is the case. Naturally it happens in my least favourite area. I'll try again.
-Nothing for Raisu Palace or Imperial Sanctum. Had already completed Sunjiang District. I'll try the other way around on a different char.
Perhaps if Raisu Palace doesn't count then north and south shiverpeaks are separate. Should try that too. Nope.
cosyfiep
I did d'alesio seaboard on my ranger and did not get one either. I think there may be another bug (gee)...as I had the same thought that you did, Marty, my inventory was full, but I also didnt see the 'legends' message either and I KNOW that character had not done any other missions in kryta (only had just gotten to tyria).
Juniebug
Thank you Arenanet
Thanks especially for the storage pane. I have persuaded several folks to take up GW ... and given away several keys as presents ... but they all were after the 4th anni. It doesn't take long before you NEED [way way way way need] more storage. Thanks lots! And thanks for the new weps and their trails of light.
Especially thanks for taking some interest in GW ... some real and demonstrable interest. I've played since 2007 [except for a 2-year hiatus in 2, which came to naught,] and still find much to challenge me here. I still like the way the snow sifts down from the trees in the Shiverpeaks. And Jeremy Soule's music still soars in the skies.
Many Happy Returns, Anet!

I also didn't get a Proof after completing Ring of Fire with a full inventory. I don't think there's any measure in place to account for that.
As far as the palace being a different region than the city, it could be that this is just not true if so many people are reporting it as not working, despite the claims of the wiki.

It seems to be the case that Raisu doesn't give a proof because I took the time to go through the entire list a second time and no luck. Has anyone else gotten 20 total the normal way? I should also mention that I think by the time I got to the end, my inventory was full as well. Collecting all of the anniversary drops fills up slots really fast.
Actually now that I think about it, even though my inventory was full, I still had at least 10 proofs already in my inventory and any extra would've been added to them so it's still a little confusing.

I have not done all 20, but I will try to do all of factions and see if I get the right number there...so far I know you get ones for the easy missions, shiro, viznuah square, boreas seabed; minister cho and zen (did them on different characters to see). I did unwaking waters but since I did boreas on the same character, it didnt count. I havent done any of the other missions yet so I dont know about them.
Currently I am doing my alts (went thru them to get the storage pane and did a few extras along the way....now am going back to finish up characters that can only do a few missions, will be doing my main next week so I will keep track then as to which ones are not giving out proofs).

With a friend with have done:
Cho Minister
Eternal Groove
Unwaking Water
Sunjang District
We had 4 prooves.
Then we killed Shiro.
And we didn't get the last one.
Is the mystery about that solved ? Our inventory wasn't full
