Dragon Nest
From Guild Wars Wiki
Dragon Nest is a festival minigame that is available whenever the Shing Jea Boardwalk is open. To enter the arena you have to pay 1 Festival Ticket to Ki Leung.[edit] Game mechanics
The game plays out somewhat like Whac-A-Mole. The goal is to tag the grey and white hatchlings to gain points, and avoid the red hatchlings. There are 4 rounds which last 45 seconds each and a 15 second break between each round.
[edit] Round 1
This round contains purely grey hatchlings, so you should tag anything that moves.
[edit] Round 2
This round introduces the red hatchlings, avoid tagging these or you will be knocked down.
[edit] Round 3
This round introduces the white hatchlings, which give more points and will cripple any nearby foes.
[edit] Round 4
All tagged hatchlings during this round will award double points, so this is the round to catch up with the leader or to secure your win.
[edit] Rewards
- 1 Victory Token for participation
- 1 gamer point and 2 Victory Tokens per outscored opponent for top 3 finishers
- 10 Victory Tokens for first place
[edit] Tips
Pressing V followed quickly by space will target the nearest ally, then run to it, creating a very quick method of racking up points.
[edit] Notes
- You will need food with effects like Sugar Rush and Sugar Jolt to help you to tag hatchlings faster. Most players recognize this so not using a speed boost will place you at a disadvantage.
- A glitch was found by Vv W that would leave you inside the arena after the game ended, letting you play the next game without using a ticket AND letting you keep your score. This was done by backing up to the far side of the arena and selecting someone outside (normally the npc who lets you in), waiting seven seconds after the final scores appear, and then hitting the space bar multiple times. You can still stay inside the arena by doing this, but you are unable to participate in any other games until you map out of the arena.
