Vision of Infinity[edit]
“With eternity mostly envisioned, the commander is looking to the future—and what lies beyond eternity can only be infinity. A yearly letter from the somehow-accredited Professor Smoll ropes the wayfinder into an eye-opening new experimental test, with short-reaching consequences.
Focus in and set your sights on new horizons in the Vision of Infinity weekly experience, starting now and looking up until April 7.
But wait, there's more! For this limited time, you can also experience fond memories of previous April events, including Cozy Café, Heights of Glory, Future Fashionable, Dog Days, Choya Carnival, Missive from the Sunbeam Throne, and Seats of Power.

Foolish Event: Vision of Infinity Salutations, favored test subject! Once again, I have opened my pop-up shop in the fine city of Lion's Arch to supply its eager populace with my tonics, reagents and novel arcana. Potions to change your outlook on life are flying off the shelves, and appreciation for the whimsical sweeps the city! As my brightest patron and live-trial participant, you may be particularly interested in my latest creation, the Fool's Ocular Tonic! One sip will open your worldview to new understanding, allowing you to see yourself and your fellows as though your eyes were once again unclouded by the years of doubts, suffering, and heartwrenching heroic endeavor. Plus, it's got a neat taste! Just look for all the dogs! I'm right next to the big one!—Professor Smoll
