Guild Arena

The Guild Arena is located in the guild hall and run and maintained by Castor Shoutsman. It is an area for guild members to use as a combat sandbox and customize it with obstacles and traps. New strategies or tactics may be tested and practiced by Guild Teams and members, but no rewards are available. The ruleset in the arena (PvE, PvP, or WvW) can be set per player by speaking to Castor Shoutsman. Heart of Thorns Expansion is required to use the Guild Arena since interaction with an arena coordinator NPCs is required.

Acquisition

The Guild Arena will become available once you have created Workshop Restoration 1.

Arena Restoration 1 will setup a temporary structure in the Guild Hall while work begins on building the full Arena. Arena Restoration 2 will give you access to the full Guild Arena.
