For this year’s Lunar New Year, Guild Wars 2 is bringing back all the festivities with some neat serpentine rewards to claim.
The hub for the Lunar New Year festivities is the Crown Pavilion in Divinity’s Reach, which can be teleported to by checking the in-game mail for the Invitation to Lunar New Year. This area has several activities players can partake in, including the Celestial Challenge combat and obstacle course, as well as the PvP Dragon Ball Arena, which is basically super dodgeball. There’s also the Firecracker Lightning seasonal adventure and Mount Racing that sends you and a mount, including rentable mounts, speeding throughout this area.
Guild War 2 players at any level are able to claim the meta-achievement, which lets players choose one of a number of weapons from the Lantern weapon collection, plus the Snaketail Breeches, which literally has a snake tail. This can be claimed in the Achievements tab in-game.
If that’s not enough, Lucky Envelopes give players a chance to pick up one of the Jade Serpent Spear, Dagger, or Rifle, plus a chance at the Lucky Snake Lantern or the Lucky Great Snake Lantern. More envelopes increase your chances of finding these rewards, and there are also sellable trophies for gold that can be used to outright buy the Jade Serpent rewards.
Guild Wars 2’s Lunar New Year event will take place until February 18 at 12:00 p.m. PST
