Happy anniversary, Guild Wars 2 community! Tyrian heroes began their first Guild Wars 2 adventures during the pre-launch early-access period on August 25, 2012, and that means the oldest characters will begin receiving their Ninth Birthday Gift very soon.
A Committed Anniversary Achievement Box will be delivered to the first character to reach the nine-year milestone on your account. It contains the following:
Account Rewards
- Feast of Delectable Birthday Cake—Share cake that provides a 30 minute boost to all attributes, karma gains, experience from kills, and magic find.
- Choice of Delectable Birthday Dyes—Choose Taffy, Orange Cream, Cherry Vanilla, Limesicle, Lemon Sherbet, or Bubblegum.
- Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock
- 2 Anniversary Weapon Packs
Character Rewards
- 2 Birthday Boosters
- 5 Teleport to Friend Tokens
- Bag of Spirit Shards
- Birthday Card
- 2 Black Lion Statuettes
While the account rewards are only delivered once per account, each of your characters will receive the character rewards on their ninth birthday through the in-game mail system. Check out the full list of gifts on our official wiki to see what your characters will receive on their next birthday.
