Guild Wars Wiki notes

New page

== Update July 29, 2026 ==

=== New ===
* New miniature and unique items added as rare rewards to [[The Underworld|Underworld]] and [[The Fissure of Woe|Fissure of Woe]] end chests.

=== Bug Fixes ===
* Fixed a bug that kept [[Eternal Bow|ghostly flatbow]]s from dropping from the [[Tunnels of the Forsaken]] chest.
* Fixed the icon for [[Miniature Ghost of Althea]].

=== Skill AI Adjustments ===
* {{skill icon|Splinter Weapon}}: Should only cast on party members.
* {{skill icon|Finale of Restoration}}: Now only casts out of combat while the caster is above 80% energy.
* {{skill icon|"They're on Fire!"}}: Now only casts when the party is fully cleared of the buff. Additional priority if the party has echoes to support.
* {{skill icon|Anthem of Weariness}}: Now only casts when the party is fully cleared of the buff. Additional priority if the party has echoes to support.
* {{skill icon|Energizing Finale}}: Caster prioritizes self if energy is below 80% and they don't have the buff.
* {{skill icon|Strength of Honor}}: Caster maintains this enchantment out of combat as long as they have 1 or more pips of energy regeneration. Should only cast on melee-wielding party members.
* {{skill icon|Aggressive Refrain}}: Reduced casting energy requirement threshold from 90% to 80%.
* {{skill icon|Ballad of Restoration}}: Removed the health threshold requirement to cast in combat. Casting priority increases as more party members benefit.
* [[Well]]s: Heroes hold off on casting wells unless there are targets or allies within the affected range of a corpse or themselves (if casting without a corpse).

=== Known issues ===
* Some newer items (miniatures and unique items) are missing localization.

=== Hotfix ===
* Fixed two bugs causing disconnect issues when joining certain missions.

=== Hotfix #2 ===
* Fixed a bug introduced in the previous hotfix that caused a server crash across multiple maps.

=== Guild Wars Wiki notes ===
* Currently the new items are: [[Beautiful Menzies]], [[Curse of Thul Za]], [[Elegant Menzies ]], [[Ghozer's Key]], [[Kazhad's Fortune]], [[Little John]], [[Madruk's Prophecy]], [[Padraic]], [[Raging Menzies]] and [[Sharp Pointy Stick]].
* {{skill icon|Strength of Honor}}: Only maintained if the caster has 2 or more pips of energy regeneration. When at 2 pips, they will cast additional copies, but stop maintaining one immediately after.
* This update also changed [[Cartographer|cartography]] mechanics. Areas previously uncovered while standing on man-made objects like piers and bridges can no longer be uncovered at all. Some areas can now only be reached with [[Bird's Eye Compass]] or not mapped at all. The compass still allows mapping certain areas that couldn't be reached before its introduction, but these are much rarer, e.g. the harbor village in [[Jaya Bluffs]]. A few areas at the edge of a map can no longer be mapped at all. This would normally have resulted in cartography titles becoming noticeably harder to complete without Bird's Eye Compass, but the margin to reach 100% seems to have been increased (you can leave more tiles covered for 100% exploration than before the update).
* Watching [[Battle in the Sewers (cinematic)|Sunjiang District cinematic]] crashes the game, so does moving before the actual start of [[Centaur Blackmail (cinematic)|Kodonur Crossroads cinematic]].
* Second hotfix build: 38,797.
