Kamadan (Festival Coordinator Khuri), Kaineng City, Lion's Arch? can't confirm the last two places though. Gaudy Gourd God 22:24, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Kaineng Center Festival Coordinator Tsuru ~ Gives "Wayfarer's Reverie:Cantha" ... 2006 exp, 2012 gold, Proof of Waves — Mar Master 22:54, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Must be done in order?

Just making sure that this is confirmed by others, I made 2 attempts to go out of order neither was successful. --Skekzyz 03:32, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I didn't do everything in order. Worked for me. Kurtan 03:37, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I do mean in order internally to each quest. --Skekzyz 04:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

You only have to do in order to get the green map star set up for you. If you know where you are going, you do not have to do in internal order. — Mar Master 04:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Specifically, I've partied with others, and we did them out of order. One person had the star, so we paraded along. — Mar Master 04:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

More than disambiguation?

Shouldn't this have info like wayfarer's marks drop (only near places in quests? confirmation requested) on it? and anything else they add later this week? --Skekzyz 04:27, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I had drops doing totally different things, so dropping near places in quest is far from confirmed and with do respect an illusion of mind. The announcements as they have been made don't give any reason to believe they add more later this week. 195.240.63.18 11:56, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

the wayfarer's marks drop anywhere, I've gotten them in uw, after I completed all the wayfarer quests, and uw isn't near any of them Raijjn

Confirmed, I recieved some while doing the Hearts of the North mini-mission.MystiLefemEle 04:45, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

They do indeed drop everywhere, including unlikely places like pre-searing. Gwynna Vive 02:28, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Leeching

Only one person in the party needs to reach the destination, in order for everyone to have the quest updated. (I'm quite aware of the vast amount of lazy people in GW, being one of them myself) Gaudy Gourd God 09:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Rewards

Maybe i get it, the exp reward is the year when the campaign is released (for exemple prop's quest reward 2005 exp, cantha and elona 2006, and eotn 2007) and gold reward the current year (2012), maybe the release of gw2. This cuold be added to notes. 93.146.153.181 10:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

It's already noted on each of the quest pages. --Silver Edge 11:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Eye Of The North came out in 2007? --ShananylDracon 16:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Shananyl Dracon

Yep. August 31, 2007. Cress Arvein 16:11, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Bonus Weekend Events

I'm getting reports of double vanquish rewards, is this true?--Smithy-Star 13:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Don't know about vanquish but I've been seeing double EotN & SS/LB points from bounties as well as double title points when trading in faction. Skerry Vore 14:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

We've picked up an extrodinary amount of greens running the quests. Like two people, four greens in one run in normal mode. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 108.167.79.162 (talk) at 17:28, 18 August 2012 (UTC).

Do u have to do all 4 quests with the same character, & all 4 without doing anything else? Or u just can't break in the middle of a quest? TIA. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.103.254.154 (talk) at 18:00, 18 August 2012 (UTC).

I can confirm double VQ reward, double SS\LB and double Kurz\Lux faction hand in are all active. double lucky, however, is not still only 250 for retain 92.40.59.62 18:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Quest rewards are doubled, as Rise rewards 2500 rep (actual reward still reads as 1250 rep but you are awarded double the amount). Cress Arvein 18:44, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

You also get double XP for capping elite skills. Xelonir 19:37, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I added a note, feel free to remove the "confirmed bonus events" as the note looks terrible- But I don't know for CERTAIN that all the bonuses are active. Winning Was Sheen 23:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

It seems likely that they are all active, I've had at least 7 keys (from different areas) and 2 lockpick drops, not to mention that my Lucky/Unlucky points gained have been doubled. 92.235.33.173 13:55, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Unlike Seventh Year Anniversary Celebration, it seems not all of the weekend events are active right now. Did FA just now to see if faction was doubled and it wasn't. --Silver Edge 08:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Pick/Dye one is definitly on now. 4 dyes from one 20 kill farm run and a pick on 4 other back to back runs. Really was hoping the update made more tormy an option but really don't care most of them are kinda uggo anyway(plz no "u don't like them because u can't afford them) comments, because coulda would but did not on purpose (meh free is free tho) 71.181.57.50 17:27, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

There is no weekend event that increases dye drops. --Silver Edge 06:15, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Ok... increased pick drops like a weekend event and increased dye drops like st paddys.... that better? 4 dyes from 20 kills IS more than normal and on 5 out of 7 runs of 20 kills at least one dye. It may not be a weekend event but there is an event with increased dye drop rates. I'm pretty sure there's more than just certain weekend event buffs going on with this event (how many drops from other events were added to the 7th anniversary...or was that one irish pirate pride days? :/)71.181.57.50 01:50, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

50 faction for each win in RA, so Arena Bonus Weekend isn't active neither. It might be that PvP-only weekend events (since "Double Luxon and Kurzick title points" is active) are not active. --24.212.128.135 09:47, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

In normal mode I was completing the asuran Kerrsh's cipher quests for a new character and I was getting only 50 faction per boss kill. if eye of the north weekend bonus is one of the bonuses active until the 30th shouldn't I have gotten 100 faction?Driftwood 18:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

All quests to be done on a single character?

Or could four characters do a different one each? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.196.101.199 (talk) at 19:07, 18 August 2012 (UTC).

The items can't be traded, but can be put i Storage, and used by another character, so looks like you can. MithTalk 23:05, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Yup. Confirmed. I got them with one character, and then gave to Flynn with another, and finally used the Gift with a third. MithTalk 05:34, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

007 + Gift GONE

← moved to Talk:Reverie Gift#007 + Gift GONE

How 'bout some free obby while you're at it?

If I'd known you were going to hurry us all into GW2 by filling our HoMs FOR US I'd have never bothered wasting all that time in pursuit of one lousy Tormented weapon. How about a redo of the Norn fighting tournament, where instead of a bison cup we all get shiny new obsidian armor, and hey, maybe for the Great Norn Alemoot not one but TWO oppressor weaps! (It is almost double-everything week, right?) And everytime I open my xunlai I want to see a great shiny stack of zkeys. You know, 'cuz I OPENED it! And don't forget those lucky points, may as well double them too while you're at it! WOOHOO! >.> --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.128.43.168 (talk) at 07:03, 19 August 2012 (UTC).

A torment weapon has always been quite an expensive weapon and is for most people hard to get. This gets you 1 guaranteed point for your HoM if you haven't got a torment weapon yet which is a really nice gift! And if you're serious, which I hope you are not, you really don't understand games. --94.224.80.53 10:18, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Why are some people so obsessed with the reward instead of the fun to get the reward? I did these quest just for the fun and enjoyment of doing it and I clicked printscreen like a japanese tourist in the progress.195.240.63.18 16:37, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

@moron #1...."blah blah expensive and hard to get." Ummm....duh? That was my point! I EARNED mine thru countless hours grinding away. NO point in that if they're just going to throw one at you anyway. Oh, and as far as comprehension goes, I'd guess you don't really understand much of ANYTHING.

@moron #2 If I were truly obsessed I'd have written a page long rant, not unlike those peeps made when booze became spammable or survivor became 'easier' to achieve. Honestly I'd have been happy with a simple gold reward for the new quests-If Anet gave a rats ass about those of us who spent hours of our lives EARNING the tormented weaps they'd at least have allowed us to SELL the one WE DON'T NEED! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.128.43.168 (talk) at 17:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC).

Hmm, I understand the frustration of spending hours only to see later others getting the same for free, but you are the moron here^^. 1. If grinding is no fun to you dont do it, 2. If you only want to be mean, be mean to yourself, 3. Prices increased intense cause HoM and the players will mostly vanish cause GW2, so Anet is intelligent to do so.

I played a bit DoA and enjoyed it, i also gave away tormented weapons to my friend for their HoM. I gave many stuff away to help others with their HoM. I am playing too much GW, but i (nearly) always enjoy it. So this changes are nothing to go crazy for me^^.

Furthermore, you call yourself the unlucky one. You are not. Go to the Wiki, read some SC-guides, go ingame and play SCs. This way you get the expensive Stuff. What will be a year later? Noone to sell armbraces, noone to play DoA (and also noone for ZQs). You at least could get an armbrace even as a bad player (not, that you are one), but without pros around anymore, bad players can read guides so often they want...without others, only with heros, DoA is some pretty boring and newbie-unfriendly place, even in NM --Naruuu 18:05, 19 August 2012 (UTC).

In this case there is alot of ask but no supply for a reason explained above, meaning it was nearly impossible to achieve 50/50. 30/50 can still be achieved easily but for those who wanted to go further the Tormented Weapon requirement and its near 0 supply made it a brick wall to achieve it, this quest and reward destroyed that brick wall masterfully. Da Mystic Reaper 22:18, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

I myself believe the event was more a response to the "near zero supply" from back in 2007... I'm sure there are still quite a few armbraces somewhere.71.181.57.50 17:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Didn't disappear

I tried to get Cantha reward will full inventory. No problem I just cleared inventory and claimed reward again. Ramei Arashi 16:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

I think the bug was a bit more than that. It sounded like if you tried to accept the quest with a full inventory and then zoned somewhere else before fixing it, you would lose the quest. That's what happenned in my case, but the update should address the problem. --128.187.97.21 15:11, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you ArenaNet!

Here'a a big nice thank-you to ArenaNet for giving us these quests. It gave me a reason to go stomp round some of those parts of Elona and Tyria where I hadn't been for a while, and in some cases at all. I went to see the Statue of a Female Warrior from the two sides of the boundary, and I went to see the statue of Lyssa in Mineral Springs. These were neat things to have seen.

And I finally sent my Nightfall Necro to Majesty's Rest to visit Rotscale and his friends. That was interesting, although I learned a useful trick. Signet of Sorrow works really well on him once you have a corpse at his feet. I normally play a N/R, so I just sent my pet in, and after, as you might expect, the poor thing got stomped, I just hammered on the SoS key... (The trouble with a necro against a mob like this is that you have nothing much dying, so you have to wait ages for energy to come back. SoS is a zero-energy skill so you can do something useful in the meantime.) Cynique 03:35, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Lol i think i'll try that one... maybe i'll use the Hound of Balthazar big ty for fire doggie too :D 71.181.57.50 17:38, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

+10 Quests and +10 on that Hound of Balthazar - Thank you ANet!!..MystiLefemEle 09:30, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Just a thought

But if you super impose the paths you take to each location onto the world map, would it be a picutre of anything? I can't use programs like photoshop etc to save my life. But maybe someone out there might have the time and inclination to try it? Would be a good "red herring" as such. (doh! forgot to sign again, sry) Kayg 16:08, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

They are just iconic places in the world. Some are important because of lore, others because they are a must-see. I wouldn't look too much into that. MithTalk 04:55, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Given that many of the locations are simply the most remote and out-of-the-way places in the game, and/or zones overpopulated with trash mobs, I'm pretty sure the only intent Anet had was in making the quests slow/long/boring enough to justify the reward. 76.253.0.17 06:26, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Doing the quests a second time

Just so I know, if I do these quests again (I can take them again), I won't get another Reverie Gift from the 4 Proofs? If so, I'd I'll just avoid the quests this time. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brakkis (talk) at 10:40, 22 August 2012 (UTC).

You can take them again? That's odd - it's certainly only one gift per account. --snograt 11:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you can do these quests again on all characters on the same account, but can only get 1 Reverie Gift per account. The rest of your characters only get the XP and gold rewards. --Musha 15:35, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

And the Proofs.MystiLefemEle 12:05, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

eye of the north reputation weekend - confirmed *not* active as of 29 Aug

I was getting normal reputation rewards while vanquishing varajar fells this morning until the vanquish itself when the vanquish reward appeared to be doubled. Double vanquish rewards appears to be active but not eye of the north weekend bonuses. Driftwood 14:02, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Exact Time duration?

I just tried to finish the cantha one and the npc is no longer. I should have been available for at least some more time. Give us exact time to know to finish ! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.240.44.19 (talk) at 20:33, 30 August 2012 (UTC).

I've got to agree. Normally, things end at 11:59 PST on the last date they mention. Went to turn in the final quest and the npc was gone :( (128.138.65.241 21:14, 30 August 2012 (UTC))

Same here, when I logged on, it still said Wayfarer's event, so I didn't bother to look for the NPC and when completed it is no longer there. Now I have three Proofs and 35 Marks that I can't do anything with... Please state an exact time. 84.26.248.87 21:44, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Ouch, yeah, this just happened to me as well. Kind of wish there was a better time frame for this. Kind of stuck with these 3 proofs and a final quest ready to turn in, after 2 days of running and fighting. =( - 68.232.80.115 23:41, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

They really need to correct this. I've submitted a support ticket, but they might need a lot of them to do anything. I recommend everybody else also submit one. Daddicus 00:19, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Gosh, they're really on this: It's fixed now. Daddicus 00:27, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

FYI, on Twitter, they state that Wayfarer's Reverie is extended until Monday noon PDT [[1]] 76.164.65.219 03:58, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Bets on next year?

Within the quest lore, there's actually nothing to suggest that it's a one-time event. The NPCs actually make it sound like a holiday... commence whining and outrage from people who didn't like it the first time. 65.87.26.122 00:46, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I thought of that, too. I think they will. It will generate interest for GW2, although a year from now it might not matter as much. Still, I plan on continuing on my quest to 50 points even as I play GW2. Only 5 left to go, but they're mighty expensive. :) Daddicus 02:31, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

What happens when it ends

To the quests...Are they wiped from the quest log? I'm struggling to finish the Elona one... --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.141.104.200 (talk) at 09:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC).

Also, do the collectors disappear and how fast after the event ends? Just so people know when to cash in their Marks... Jeree95 11:46, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

When it originally ended on 30 August, all Wayfarer's Reverie NPCs were removed from the outposts and towns. --Silver Edge 03:32, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Best to get the quests and marks in before 12 noon PDT 09/03/12.MystiLefemEle 12:07, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Failed to finish Tyria and Far North. Should I keep them in log just in case there is a repeat? Also what to do with 2 stacks of tokens? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.141.104.200 (talk) at 06:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC).

Did all the mark collectors leave already? I thought festival item collectors usually hung around for a week or so after the event ends? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.168.103.50 (talk) at 14:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC).
