Bonus Event: New Player Jump Start


Hero,

For a time, the flow of the Mists supports your growth as one of Tyria's defenders. While this persists, your adventures will grant you further experience and richer rewards—take advantage of the opportunity to train and prepare yourself for the trials to come.

I, too, will reinforce your path while I am able. Meet me in your homeland, and—should you prove yourself with a simple task—I will grant you a weapon to support your journey to the pinnacles of valor.

—Mist Stranger
