Update -- April 9, 2025[edit]
Hello friends!
As we announced last week, there will be a special update to Guild Wars on April 15th featuring permanently updated availability for a number of limited weapons and miniatures.
Various weapons from pre-order bonuses, special promotions and a few weapons previously exclusive to the PvP Reward system have been added to loot tables across Tyria, Cantha, Elona, and Eye of the North. These weapons only appear as Rare quality drops (with a few exceptions as noted) and are randomized rather than featuring the fixed stats and free creation of their bonus-item incarnations. Rods, Staffs, Shields, and Focuses can also drop with a variety of stat requirements.
Weapons[edit]
The newly available weapons are listed below.
- Available everywhere:
- Only available in Tyria:
- Bone Idol (pre-order item)
- Only available in Cantha:

- Lesser Stoneblade (Available at Magical rarity)

Miniatures[edit]
Additionally, a series of miniatures previously limited to special promotions and contest prizes will be available from new hard mode quests available at Embark Beach. Unlike their original versions, these cannot be traded between players. These quests will send you to replay the story missions and endgame areas of Guild Wars to prove your skills once more, so prepare for a tour of your triumphs to earn these miniatures.
Get ready to celebrate 20 years of Guild Wars! And you'll want to keep an eye out for some other rare drops.
