74.134.109.207: /* Guild Wars Wiki notes */

== Update - Thursday, December 6, 2007 ==
=== Lowered Level Access for Entry into ''Eye of the North'' ===
* Characters can now enter [[Eye of the North]] as early as [[level]] 10 by accepting the quest "[[What Lies Beneath]]" from [[Len Caldoron]] in [[Lion's Arch]], "[[I Feel the Earth Move Under Cantha's Feet]]" from [[Minister of Maintenance Raiugyon]] in [[Kaineng Center]], or "[[Hole of Istan]]" from [[Bendah]] in [[Kamadan]].
* Players who are between levels 10 and 19 and are in ''Eye of the North'' maps will automatically receive a [[buff]] called [[Journey to the North]]. This buff grants players a base [[Health]] of 480 and bonuses to their [[attribute]]s, and replaces their current [[armor rating|armor level]] with the max armor level for that [[profession|class]] until they reach level 20.
* The Journey to the North buff sets one attribute to rank 12 and three additional attributes to rank 9. The effect overrides the player's current ranks in all attributes and places 12 ranks in the attribute of the [[weapon]] the player is wielding, 9 ranks in that player's primary attribute, 9 ranks based on the attribute of the focus or shield the player is wearing (if applicable), and 9 ranks based on the skills on the player's [[Skill Bar]] until the player has three attributes with 9 ranks in them.
* Upon reaching level 20, the Journey to the North buff goes away the next time that player enters a new zone.
* Players new to ''Eye of the North'' can now receive a basic max damage weapon by completing the [[Hero Tutorial]] quest given by [[Burol Ironfist]] in [[Boreal Station]]. Once completed, players receive a [[Burol Ironfist's Commendation]] item that can be turned in to [[Arkor Leadfoot]] in Boreal Station for a weapon of their choosing.
* A new armorer, [[Jolvor Stoneforge]], has been added to Boreal Station to give players a cheaper source of basic max level armor in the ''Eye of the North'' expansion.

=== Updated PvP Rewards ===
* [[Tolkano]], the Tournament NPC, now sells [[Zaishen Key]]s for either 5,000 [[Balthazar faction]] or 5 [[Tournament Reward Point]]s. These keys open the [[Zaishen Chest]] on the [[Isle of the Nameless]]. Tolkano can be found in the [[Great Temple of Balthazar]], the [[Hero Battles]] outpost, and all [[guild hall]]s.
* The [[Zaishen Chest]] is located on the [[Isle of the Nameless]] at the top of the stairs near the location of [[The Guide]].
* The [[Hall of Heroes]] chest now grants players a [[Zaishen Key]] in addition to the normal drops they receive.

=== Guild Hall ===
Three new NPC upgrades are available for guild halls. Members may speak to the Guild Lord in their hall to purchase these upgrades for their guild.

* [[Canthan Ambassador]]: allows viewing of guild halls available for purchase
* [[Guild Emblemer]]: allows the guild leader to change the guild's cape without leaving the guild hall.
* [[Festival Hat Keeper]]: gives guild members access to an NPC who can remember and reproduce special festival hats they have acquired.

=== Bug Fixes ===
* Fixed a bug that caused players to complete the first discovery location in the [[The Tengu Accords|Tengu Peace Accord]]s {{sic}} [[bonus mission pack]] mission during the end cinematic while in [[Discovery Mode]].

=== Miscellaneous ===
* [[Flask of Firewater|Flasks of Firewater]] now provide 3 minutes of [[drunk]] effect upon a single consumption.
* [[Lockpick]]s now drop in ''Eye of the North'' maps in [[normal mode]] at the same rate that keys drop in other regions.
* Updated the [[Ursan Strike]], [[Volfen Claw]], and [[Raven Talons]] skills to [[Range|touch range]] to make them more consistent between the mission versions and the [[Norn rank|Norn title]] versions.

=== Guild Wars Wiki notes ===
*Added a [[sign post]] in [[Kamadan]] which reads "Don't Feed The Dwarf." The [[Xunlai Chest]]s and [[Xunlai Agent]] previously in the location where the sign post is now were relocated to be next to the [[Sun Docks]] entrance. <noinclude>
