Crystal Desert – Dragonfall – Crystal Bloom Outpost Spearmarshal Zaeim: Those shadow creatures aren’t giving us an inch. Caithe: They’ve been fighting over this forest for centuries. Cursed to fight Balthazar and his Eternals for…well, eternity. Spearmarshal Zaeim: Right, but we’re neither of those things. Caithe: It isn’t us. It’s Balthazar’s magic. Aurene absorbed it after Vabbi, remember? Spearmarshal Zaeim: And just because they sense his presence, they attack us? Caithe: Look on the bright side: Kralkatorrik absorbed it, too–so they hate his Branded just as much as us. Spearmarshal Zaeim: True. “The enemy of my enemy.” Caithe: Who is, in this case, still our enemy. But at least it puts things into perspective.
Yesterday we kicked off an event that asked players to donate mithril near the Lion’s Arch Mystic Forge. We wanted this to be a mystery for players to discover, but unfortunately the event completion was bugged, and the outcome and reward were not clear.
As a community, your donations have unlocked a new item combination possibility in the Mystic Forge. You’ll need to discover the exact combination of items for yourself, but anyone can use it to obtain a unique pistol skin, True Mettle.
This was the first of a series of events that will go live periodically over the next few weeks. Each will, when successfully completed, unlock a new possible combination of items which will then reward a new unique weapon skin when placed into the Mystic Forge. For the achievement hunters among you, you’ll be able to earn the related achievements throughout the event series, so don’t worry if you didn’t get it the first time–you’ll have more chances!
We’re working on the second of these events now and will be sure to let you know when it’s live on the forum and on Twitter.
