Super Adventure Festival 2023 Begins Today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hJJyma0mMU
Our beloved Super Adventure Festival has begun in Rata Sum! Everyone is welcome to join this fun adventure in a virtual world designed by Moto. This yearly festival is now live and will be available until April 18. You can check out all the details in the full release notes on our official forums.
Super Adventure Festival is accessible to players of any level. Even if you're brand new to the game, you can easily take part in all the activities! Read on for a quick rundown of the activities you can participate in during this festival and the rewards you can earn!
Where to Go
The Super Adventure Festival is located in Rata Sum. Check your in-game mail for an Invitation to the Super Adventure Festival and double-click the item to teleport instantly to the Super Adventure Box Hub. You can also travel to the Magustan Court Waypoint, which is conveniently located right next to the Super Adventure Box in Creator's Commons.
What to Do
When you enter the Super Adventure Box, you will have a different skill set. The new skill bar will help you navigate this different game mode. While you're inside the box, you won't take damage from falling, and you can't use gliders or mounts. But you'll find that you're much bouncier than you usually are!
There are two worlds you can trek through, and two alternate gameplay modes—Exploration Mode and Tribulation Mode—in addition to Normal Mode. If you like a laid-back adventure, you can pick Exploration Mode, which will give you some assistance traversing jumping puzzles. Normal Mode is perfect for people needing a little edge with their fun—unless you love a punishing challenge. For that, choose Tribulation Mode...at your peril.
The journey begins in World 1. You are sent on a heroic path to save Princess Miya. Your starting weapon is a stick, but you'll be able to buy other combat options and tools from friendly shopkeepers found in the worlds you're exploring. Make sure to keep an eye out for little wooden doors!
When you obtain new weapons from merchants inside the Super Adventure Box, they'll give you new ways to destroy enemies and objects. You can even use bombs to find hidden rooms packed with baubles.
Bounce your way into a sunny glade, and don't forget to fell every enemy on your way! You'll need all the baubles you can get your hands on. Every time you get hit by an enemy you will lose a portion of your hearts, so be sure to dodge. When your hearts are empty, you'll lose one of your lives. As long as you have lives left, you'll revive at the last checkpoint you reached.
If by chance you have no lives left, worry not; just purchase a Continue Coin from Moto. Just don't mind the lava.
Rewards
Trade 250 baubles to the Super Adventure Box Trader located next to Moto to obtain the festival currency, Bauble Bubbles! Weapons, armor, utility items, minatures, and many more things are available in exchange for Bauble Bubbles; talk to the trader NPCs just outside the Super Adventure Box or in the Hub.
There are plenty of new rewards to earn this year. Add a mace, rifle, and dagger to your collection of Retro-Forged weapons and a Mini Adventure Boxer and Mini Blue Bauble to your menagerie of miniatures. Craft new guild hall items to create your own Super Adventure world!
Complete the (Annual) Super Adventure Box Nostalgia achievement to earn classy Generation One weapon skins and Powered Gloves. You can find them in the Achievement tab of the Hero panel under Festivals.
Test Zone
This year, Moto is inviting heroes to the Test Zone,* a new area he's working on! The choya miners are still carving it out, so it's not completely finished—but Moto will welcome your help testing the area that is available! To visit the Test Zone, pick up the note on the door of the World 3 House in the Hub and follow the instructions. Have fun!
*The Test Zone is presented as is and should not be viewed as World 3 confirmed, either express or implied. Moto, Lord Vanquish, and other residents of the Super Adventure Box will not be held liable for injuries sustained in the Super Adventure Box. Baubles not intended for human (or charr, asura, norn, or sylvari) consumption.

Exclusive Item: Undying Shackles Cape and Glider Combo
Not all shackles bind you to the ground. These chains will free your spirit.
Black Lion Claim Ticket Update: Collapsing Star Weapon Skins

And More!
We're adding a much-requested quality-of-life feature in the options menu that will allow you to adjust the intensity of map-based environmental visual effects in your game client. If you set the Environment Zone Intensity value below the maximum, it will diminish certain types of effects in various areas throughout Tyria. For example, the visual impact of the Void particles in Dragon's End can be reduced by lowering the slider.
Lastly, we're celebrating the new chapter of Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons with our annual March sales in the Gem Store! Check out this month's lineup of fantastic offers—including the new Black Lion Requisition Missions and improvements to the sales item availability —in this blog post.

We're kicking off this month with extraordinary spring sales! But before we give you the scoop, we want to tell you about some of the changes we're making to our sales schedule. You can read about additional Gem Store improvements in the weekly Gem Store blog post.
March Sales Item Availability
We've heard the community's feedback that the previous 24-hour Gem Store sales format made it too easy to miss the items you're most interested in. This year, sale items will be available for several days, and some sale items will be offered for up to a full week. Barring a few exceptions, we will also be putting categories of items on sale together, including older items.
Black Lion Requisition Missions
Evon Gnashblade employs some of Tyria's finest crafters, and demand for their work is exploding! The Black Lion Trading Company has an immediate need for raw materials to keep up with product orders. You can help—and collect valuable Black Lion goods as your fee.
Each week in March, Black Lion Requisition Officers will accept deliveries of various raw materials and reward you with goods like boosters and Black Lion Statuettes. Help meet the demand for multiple weeks to receive greater rewards, including a Black Lion Claim Ticket—and more!
Black Lion Requisition Officers will be stationed near Black Lion Traders in all major cities. Seek them out for instructions on how to get in on this deal.
