Returning This Week

Cuddly Cat Jade Bot Skin

Take advantage of the new Mini Jade Bot and carry this cuddly cat with you everywhere! For a limited time, the Cuddly Cat Jade Bot Skin is back!

This item will change the appearance of your jade bot. This item will also permanently unlock this appearance in your account wardrobe. Equipping a jade bot mini while a jade bot skin is equipped will change the appearance of the jade bot mini to match your current skin. You can acquire a Mini Jade Bot of your own by trading Research Notes to a Xunlai Jade Sales Associate in Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons explorable zones. When summoned, this mini will inherit the appearance of your currently equipped jade bot skin.

Knife Tail Gang Hunting Bond

The Knife Tail Gang have broken into the Black Lion Trading Company vaults!

Use this bond to hunt Knife Tail Gang members. While bonded, any kill worth experience points has a chance to reveal one of the Knife Tail Gang! Each bond will allow you to loot a piece of Recovered Black Lion Goods, which are yours to keep. Recovered goods will always unlock a cosmetic option from the Black Lion Trading Company in your wardrobe—weapon skins, exclusive dye colors, and even mount skins!
