A Guide to Flame & Frost: Retribution
Tags : Guild-Wars-2-Gold Guild-Wars-2
Welcome to Flame and Frost: Retribution! You may be wondering what to do and how to get started, so we've created a small guide to help keep you on the right track.
"Don't spoil anything! Just point me where to go!"
You got it! Here's a spoiler-free mini-guide to our April 30 Living Story release:
When you log in to Guild Wars 2, you'll receive a mail updating you on the situation in the Shiverpeaks.
The Molten Facility dungeon is available right away, and has no prerequisites for entry.
However, in order to gain the achievement for the dungeon, you must first complete Hero's Aid (Rox and Braham's Flame and Frost: The Razing content).
The boss chests can be earned repeatedly, though the mining nodes found in the dungeon are on a 24-hour cooldown.
Sentinel gear is a new stat combination of gear that can be found in Molten Facilities. To craft your own, salvage any sentinel gear you find for their inscriptions and insignias, and mine any ore nodes in the dungeon for rare azurite crystals and orbs.
Use the World Event UI to determine which map has a revealed Molten Facility; the Vigil will only be raiding one at a time. These facilities will be marked on the map with a yellow swirl, which is what we use to denote Living Story instances.
If you left-click the Flame and Frost: Retribution World Event UI, your Living Story achievement panel will open and you'll be able to browse through all of the Living Story achievements.
Hover your mouse over any achievement to learn more about where to go and how to complete it.
You may notice an achievement at the top of the Living Story tab titled "Alliance Breaker." When this achievement is completed, you will receive a reward! Hover your mouse over the treasure chest to view the reward.
Be aware that some Living Story achievements have prerequisites and cannot be completed before you accomplish other achievements first.
When you venture into Wayfarer Foothills, Diessa Plateau, or any of the major cities, keep an eye out for characters or areas with yellow Living Story icons on your map. Speak to these characters to learn more about how to fight back against the Molten Alliance.
Check in with the heralds near the asura gates and next to the entrances of each major city. These non-player characters may have new information for you as well.
