Jump to: navigation, search

Guild Wars has special in-game events which tend to take place in some of the major towns. Lion's Arch, Droknar's Forge, Ascalon City, Kaineng Center, Shing Jea Monastery and Kamadan have historically received makeovers, with holiday-related graphics, NPCs, and quests. Holiday mini-games in those areas can be played for various rewards of special seasonal items.
