06/11/2019—June 11 Release Notes

Destabilized Magic

The Mystic Forge skritt want to help defeat Qadim by providing adventurers with new "shinies," helping them look their best while battling this dangerous foe. Of course, nothing in life is ever free. Qadim's destabilization of magic has resulted in daily ley-line nodes briefly forming near the remnants of world bosses. Gather condensed ley-line essence from these nodes, along with a few other materials, and combine them in the Mystic Forge to create these shiny new weapons.

This event runs from 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on June 11 to 1:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on June 25. After this time period, condensed ley-line essence can be purchased with gaeting crystals from Glenna in Ahdashim or from the Magnetite Exchange Operative in the Lion's Arch Aerodrome.

Combine Condensed Ley-Line Essences, Charged Cores, Elder Wood Logs, and Quartz Crystals in the Mystic Forge to create Shiny and Ultra Shiny weapons.

Collect all of the weapons to earn the Ultra Shiny title!

Living World

Skyscale

Improved behavior when mounting the skyscale in midair after using updrafts and other traversal abilities.

The skyscale will no longer enter the wall-cling state when hitting a wall if it is descending using the Mount Ability 2 key.

Fixed a bug in which the skyscale could continue playing its wall-cling animation after using a waypoint.

Fixed a bug in which the skyscale's energy-gain rate could be higher than intended after mounting in midair.

Fixed a bug that prevented skyscales from blinking.

Bug Fixes

War Eternal: Fixed an issue in which Aurene would fail to appear at the beginning of the Descent instance for some players.

World Polish

Fixed a bug that caused incorrect objective text to appear in the "Defeat Ysshi Hessani and Pek Rakt Grag" event in the Domain of Vabbi.

Reduced the time Augury Rock is open by 10 minutes, shortening the wait for the "Disperse the wild magic that escaped from Augury Rock" event in Elon Riverlands.

General

The Mute Player Alerts sound option will now mute the alert chime accompanying some targeted skills (mostly found in raids and story instances) and the alert chime that accompanies the application of many special action skills.

Raids

The Hidden City of Ahdashim

After the events in the Mystic Forge, Qadim has returned home to the Hidden City of Ahdashim to usurp a great power. Find the Key and the cardinals for guidance into the hallowed city walls, and save not just the djinn but the entire world from Qadim's master scheme.

Items

A new item, the Spirit Banner, is available from the Mystic Forge in exchange for 25 Spirit Shards.

Various WvW blueprint denominations have been removed from the Mystic Forge, as those multiples were made obsolete by the ability to select how many players wish to purchase.
