The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Fort Aspenwood. |
It is a fortress, also known as Fort Aspenwood, that was designed by the famous Kurzick architect Lord Stein zu Heltzer many years before the Jade Wind. Its location was a key strategic point of the Kurzick's and Luxon's border during their war. As one of the few Kurzick constructions still standing to this day, it is currently controlled by the Jade Brotherhood, who are using it to research a superweapon. The fort is heavily fortified with shielded Jade Projectile Turrets, repurposed Jade Mechs and dragonjade barriers.
Entering the facility outside of related events will apply 
Volatile Matter Converter.
Getting there[edit]
The facility is fully accessible during the event chain Assault on Fort Aspenwood.
Outside the events, the point of interest can also be gained by dropping in from above: either by falling/gliding down from the road south of the site, leading to Goa Village or with a flying mount. Doing so can lead to defeat due to the damage applied by Volatile Matter Converter, therefore placing a Jade Tech Waypoint close by is recommended.
Notes[edit]
- One of the Jade Lanterns needed for the Lighting the Echovald Wilds achievement is close to the point of interest and only accessible during the event chain, since the pulsing damage is too high to interact with it otherwise.
