Current release: “Dragon Bash”
It's time for Dragon Bash! It wouldn't be a proper celebration without your attendance. Join me in Hoelbrak for another moot for the ages! There will be tests of strength, racing, food, song, and most importantly—ale. Join the celebration in Hoelbrak! Celebrate Tyria's resistance against the Elder Dragons while engaging in a variety of festive games.
A new Icebone weapon set is now available, reprised from the classic Dragonbone weapons! You'll receive your choice of a weapon by progressing the (Annual) Dragon Bash Feats meta-achievement, and you can acquire additional weapons from the (Weekly) Dragon Bash Festivities achievement. Last year's Sacred Raven weapons are now available from the weekly Dragon Bash Merchant.
To celebrate the upcoming Summer Game Fest, enjoy a rewards boost! Experience gain, magic find, and competitive reward track progress will be enhanced during the fest. Plus, by completing events across Tyria, you'll be able to earn a new Guild Warrior Shoulder Skin and Guild Warrior Cape Skin!
To maximize the festive atmosphere, the summer fun lasts three weeks, from June 2 until June 21 at noon Pacific Time (UTC-7)!
