==Weekly bonuses==
===PvE===
=====Elonian Support=====
:''"Adventuring in the Land of the Golden Sun is twice as fun or at least twice as rewarding. You'll earn double [[Sunspear rank|Sunspear]] and [[Lightbringer rank|Lightbringer]] title points while this bonus is active, for almost everything except completed [[Storybook|books]]. Marshal your resources and join in the defense of [[Elona]]!"

=====Extra Luck=====
:''"It's your lucky day! Well, technically, it's a full week and it's lucky for all of us...and unlucky too. To be clear, while the bonus is active, you receive double [[Lucky and Unlucky]] title points. Also, [[lockpick]]s [[drop]] at four times their normal rate!"

=====Faction Support=====
:''"There's no better time to prove your loyalty to the [[Luxon]] or [[Kurzick]] cause! Exchanging faction with a [[Kurzick Bureaucrat]] or [[Luxon Scavenger]] will give you double points on the [[Allegiance rank|respective title]]. Personally, I don't take sides, but I do envy the bureaucrats' hats..."

=====Factions Elite=====
:''"While this bonus is active, heroes may travel to [[The Deep]] and [[Urgoz's Warren]] for free! Why one would want to travel either place is beyond me, but if you're a brave soul looking to challenge [[Kanaxai]] or [[Urgoz]], head to [[Kaineng Center]] and speak with [[Vash]] or [[Eurayle]]."

=====Northern Support=====
:''"To the tall and the small, your assistance is twice as important right now. You'll receive double reputation points while helping the [[Norn rank|Norn]], [[Deldrimor rank|Deldrimor]], [[Ebon Vanguard rank|Ebon Vanguard]], and [[Asura rank|Asura]] with almost everything except completed [[Storybook|books]]. Take a warm coat!"

=====Pantheon=====
Before the [[Feedback:Game updates/20130926|September 26, 2013 update]]:
:''"While this bonus is active, so are all the [[statue]]s of the [[Gods of Tyria|gods]]. Not only can you receive blessings, you can also gain free access to [[the Underworld]] and [[The Fissure of Woe|Fissure of Woe]]! Fancy a day trip to the land of the dead?"

After the September 26, 2013 update:
:''"While this bonus is active, access to [[the Underworld]] and [[The Fissure of Woe|Fissure of Woe]] is free! Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if that's really a blessing. Fancy a day trip to the land of the dead?"

=====Zaishen Bounty=====
:''"Fancy yourself a bounty hunter? While this bonus is active, you'll get double [[Copper Zaishen Coin|copper Zaishen coins]] for completing Zaishen Bounty quests. Check the signpost in [[Embark Beach]] to see which villain is being sought for justice. You can check back each day for a new quest and another chance to double your coins!"

=====Zaishen Mission=====
:''"While this bonus is active, you'll get double [[Copper Zaishen Coin|copper Zaishen coins]] for completing Zaishen Mission quests. Check the signpost in [[Embark Beach]] to see where the [[Zaishen]] are sending heroes this week. And be sure to check back each day for a new quest and another chance to double your coins!"

=====Zaishen Vanquishing=====
:''"While the bonus is active, you will receive double [[Copper Zaishen Coin|copper Zaishen coins]] for completing Zaishen Vanquish quests. Strap on your [[foe]]-stomping boots and check the [[signpost]] in [[Embark Beach]] to see what's on offer today. Don't forget to check back each day for a new quest and another chance to double your coins!"

===PvP===
=====Alliance Battle=====
:''"While the bonus is active, all those who fight in the [[Luxon]] and [[Kurzick]] alliance battles {{sic|"alliance battles" is lowercase}} receive double [[Imperial faction]] for their efforts. {{sic|Doesn't mention double Balthazar faction}} To participate, talk to the [[Kurzick Kommandant]] or [[Luxon Navigator]] in your [[guild hall]]. I won't take sides, but I will wish you good luck!"

=====Codex Arena=====
:''"How well do you know your [[skill]]s? While this bonus is active, you'll earn double [[Balthazar faction]] and [[Codex Title|Honor]] points for fighting according to the Codex! Gather your [[Party|team]] and head to the [[Codex Arena (outpost)|Codex Arena outpost]] in [[the Battle Isles]]."

=====Competitive Mission=====
:''"Those who fight in [[Fort Aspenwood]] and [[the Jade Quarry]], no matter which side, earn double [[Balthazar faction|Balthazar]] and [[Imperial faction]] while this bonus is active! Head to the respective outposts to get started. I'd give you some of my [[Jadeite Shard|jade]], but I'm carving little [[turtle]]s."

=====Guild versus Guild=====
:''"Until the bonus ends, those who participate in GvG battles receive double [[Balthazar faction]] and [[Champion]] title points. To learn more about [[guild]]s, you'll want to speak with a [[guild registrar]]. I know I've seen them in the [[Great Temple of Balthazar]], [[Lion's Arch]], [[Shing Jea Monastery]], and [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]]."

=====Heroes' Ascent=====
:''"As long as this bonus is running, combatants in Heroes' Ascent get double [[Balthazar faction]] and Fame points, good toward the [[Hero (title)|Hero]] title if I remember correctly. Those who win a battle in [[The Hall of Heroes (arena)|the Hall of Heroes]] also get double [[Drop|loot]] from the final [[Chest (Hall of Heroes)|chest]]! Form a team and head to the [[Heroes' Ascent (outpost)|Heroes' Ascent outpost]] in [[the Battle Isles]] to get your share."

=====Random Arenas=====
:''"The match-ups may be unpredictable but the bonus is consistent: you'll earn double [[Balthazar faction]] and [[Gladiator]] title points while fighting in Random Arenas while this bonus is running. Head to the [[Random Arenas (outpost)|Random Arenas outpost]] in [[the Battle Isles]] and be ready for anything!"

==Special events==
=====Canthan New Year=====
:''"The people of [[Cantha]] invite us all to celebrate the coming of the new year and the blessings of the celestial animals. {{sic|Plural "animals"}} [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]] and [[Lion's Arch]] are both decorated for the occasion, but the real party is at the [[Shing Jea Monastery]]! Festive quests, [[Dragon Arena]], and [[Rollerbeetle Racing]]; there's fun everywhere you look."

=====Lucky Treats Week=====
:''"I'm not sure if I believe [[the Scribe]]'s [[Lucky Treats Week|stories]] about little orange-haired men, but I can verify that [[Four-Leaf Clover|four-leaf clovers]] and [[Shamrock Ale|shamrock ale]] mysteriously appear all throughout the week. Is it luck, [[magic]], or just a side-effect of the season? Go fight some [[foe]]s and study the effect for yourself."

=====*CLASSIFIED INFORMATION*=====
'''{{ask|gold}} Classified information? What's going on?''' (Appears in place of "'''Would you tell me more about <special event name>?'''".)
:''"I don't have clearance for that, soldier. Report to [[Corporal Bane]] in [[Embark Beach]] for further instructions."

=====Sweet Treats Week=====
:''"It's a great week for hunters of treasures and tasty treats. In addition to regular [[drop]]s, [[foe]]s are carrying [[Golden Egg|golden eggs]] and [[Chocolate Bunny|chocolate bunnies]]! I'd give you one of my chocolate bunnies, but I've already bitten the ears off them. All of them."

=====the Anniversary Celebration=====
2014:
:''"It's the anniversary of all creation! Send up the fireworks! Major [[town]]s are decorated and the [[Shing Jea Boardwalk]] is open. Plus, you can head out for adventure and find [[drop]]s of all kinds: [[sweet]]s, [[Alcohol|drinks]], and [[Festive item|party supplies]] galore. Oh, and [[Birthday Cupcake|birthday cupcakes]]! You have got to try one of those. If you don't find any out in the [[Tyria (world)|world]], [[Elite Xunlai Agent Isa Ku]] has some. Sprinkles!"

2020 onward:1

:''the [[Anniversary Celebration]] <One of the section headings in the PvE section above> bonus week <One of the section headings in the PvP section above> bonus week"
:{{ask|gold}} '''Would you tell me more about the Anniversary Celebration?

:1During 2015-2019, the dialogue would mention Tenth Anniversary instead.


=====the Dragon Festival=====
:''"It is a testament to the perseverance of the [[Cantha]]n people, from their settlement on [[Shing Jea Island]] to the triumphs of the modern era. To really get in the spirit, head to [[Shing Jea Monastery]] and join in the historical reenactments. Though [[Dragon Arena]] and [[Rollerbeetle Racing]] are also open if you just want to skip to the games."

=====Wintersday in July=====
:''"The [[Dwayna Vs Grenth|snowball arenas]] are open and magically still frozen despite the heat of the [[Season of the Phoenix]]. Start collecting those [[Candy Cane Shard|candy cane shards]] and watch out for flying snow!"

=====the Wayfarer's Reverie=====
:''"The Wayfarer's Reverie is a time when adventurers all across [[Tyria (world)|Tyria]] pause to reflect on the travels behind them and the road ahead. Find the festival coordinators in [[Lion's Arch]], [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]], [[Kaineng Center]], and the [[Eye of the North (outpost)|Eye of the North]]; they'll set you up with quests that circle the three known [[continent]]s. Also, most of the weekly bonuses will be active, so it's a great time to be adventuring."

=====Pirate Week=====
:''"Yo ho ho, hoist the anchor and we'll sail in search of [[Bottle of Grog|grog]] and a worthy pirate tale! Those you meet, from the mountains to the beach, will greet your wave with some salty pirate speech!"

=====Breast Cancer Awareness Month=====
:''"Throughout the month, heroes wear pink to promote breast cancer awareness. Vials [[drop]] throughout the [[Tyria (world)|world]], but you can also buy some from [[Sadie Salvitas]] in [[Lion's Arch]]."

=====Halloween=====
:''"There is hardly enough time to tell you about all the wonderful things about Halloween. Decorations cover [[Lion's Arch]], [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]], [[Droknar's Forge]], and the [[Tomb of the Primeval Kings]]. You can participate in the [[Costume Brawl]] by talking to [[Bobby]] in many of those same places. There are [[tonic]]s and [[Pumpkin Cookie|cookies]] and [[Trick-or-Treat Bag|trick-or-treat bags]] and [[Candy Corn|candy corn]]. The [[Mad King Thorn|Mad King]] visits! But perhaps most importantly, this is the festival during which you can get a sweet [[Festival hat|hat]] like mine."

=====Special Treats Week=====
:''"The [[Fraternal Order of Bakers and Brewers]] have been hard at work turning the seasonal harvest into wonderful treats. While you're adventuring, keep your eyes peeled for [[Hard Apple Cider|hard apple cider]] {{sic|Unlike "slices", "cider" is singular instead of plural (ciders)}} and [[Slice of Pumpkin Pie|slices of pumpkin pie]]. The pie in particular will leave you [[Pie Induced Ecstasy|ecstatic]]!"

=====Wintersday=====
:''"Whether you like the cold or are praying for the thaw, Wintersday has something for you. Join the forces of [[Dwayna]] or [[Grenth]] for holiday quests in [[Lion's Arch]] and [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]]. Talk to a [[Wintersday Priest]] to join [[Dwayna Vs Grenth|the snowball fight]]. Stock up on seasonal treats and save your [[Candy Cane Shard|candy cane shards]] to get [[Frozen Accessory Token|some stylish headgear]]!"
