Home Instance after Personal Story Act 1
(Warning this will contain small spoilers of Home Instance changes as you progress in Personal story)
Have any of you returned to see how many new NPCs are now in your Home Instance after Act 1 of the Personal Story?
I have and there is a lot of new NPCs in my Human Home Instance within Divinity Reach.
For start
Mira who you meet in Claw island now lives in the Tavern on the 2nd floor.
Exemplar Mehid and Exemplar Salia now stands outside the Tavern
the Skritt (since I chosen them as allies) now live in the back ally of my Home Instance.
Laranthir can now be found near the entrance to my Salma District. (and I didn’t meet this guy until Orr part of the story)
Scholar Octavian Inkblood is seen buying things in the center of Salma District.
a few dialogues have been changed from the NPCs you know. Like how (if you’re a commoner) Petra talks about how little i visit and how Andrew enjoys bragging about how he knew who i was before I helped to defeated Zhaitan.
However, this is only from a Human Story. The Race you are will have your Home Instance affected more than the other Home Instances.
I honestly can not remember who Mira or Octavian Inkblood are, and yet there they are in my (Sylvari) home instance as well. Mira’s just randomly standing near the twins and medics and doesn’t even afford a greeting, so she especially just seemed… kinda random… Good to at least know where she came from I suppose.
Would be nice if the NPCs that showed up would actually speak to me though… They’re just kinda randomly… there… Would also be lovely for Shashoo to get a proper Quaggan house since she looks especially awkward just suspended there in the pond. Or at least some mobility so she isn’t floating so disturbingly still.
And maybe tie Iowerth to one of the archery boards. Or set him on fire. Either would be fun.
Gone for good after Halloween 2Ø12.
A shame fun things could not simply be fun.
A shame fun things could not simply be fun.
For now I’m working on another Human character (Street Rat/ lost sister) and plan to make a few different choices.
I notice Riot Alice is now in the back ally and Petra does not appear at the Inn but I’m still trying to find where is Quinn since I chosen to save him.
I think someone should make a note about what changes and NPC will appear through the choices you make in Personal Story towards your Home Instance in the GW2 wiki.
Here’s is a list of changes I am aware of for each race:
Spoilers Follow
Norn Home Instance Changes
- A shaman will appear in your home instance representing one of the four animal spirits. The shaman you get depends on the animal totem you choose.
- If you choose “Defeat Our Ancient Foes” additional weapons racks will appear in your home instance.
- If your chose to get revenge on your rival, Balteus Bloodletter (a charr) will appear in your home instance.
- If you join the Vigil, Dalloros, a sylvari Vigil champion will appear in your home instance along with Vigil Representative Thurkill.
- Depending on what minor race you chose to assist, a group of grawl, ogres, or scritt will appear in your home instance.
- After the Battle of Claw Island, Mira will appear in your home instance. She is easy to miss because she is lying in bed wearing civilian cloths. Her hair is gone and she is missing an eye to reflect her injured state.
- If you choose “Protect the Spirits” a minotaur spirit will appear in your home instance.
- If you choose “Lost an Heirloom” a Kodan will appear in your home instance.
Sylvari Home Instance Changes
- The firstborn of which ever cycle you chose during character creation will appear in your home instance.
- The White Stag will move into your home instance if you rescue it.
- If you kill the Green Knight his helmet will hang from a tree in your home instance and Gairwen will appear in your home instance.
- If you select the crescent moon shield, a random valiant/warden will appear in your home instance.
- If you chose “Act with wisdom, but act,” Larra, the asura from the quest line, will appear in your home instance.
Charr Home Instance Changes
- As you collect members for your warband, each one will appear in your home instance, including your sparring partner.
Asura Home Instance Changes
- The mentor you selected during character creation will appear in your home instance.
- If you chose the college of Synergetics, an asura named Bezia will appear in your home instance. You will see her immediately upon entering the instance, she is across from the gate.
- If you chose the weather machine as your first invention, a sylvari named Peredur will appear in your home instance.
Human Home Instance Changes
- A priest or priestess will appear in your home instance representing the god or goddess you selected during character creation.
- If you selected the street rat origin, Riot Alice will appear in your home instance in a back alley. Quinn will not appear whether you saved him or not, however, the dialogue of some of the npc’s will change depending on your decision. I’m not sure if this is a bug.
- If you selected the unknown parents storyline during character creation, Exemplar Mehid and Exemplar Salia will appear in your home instance, however, their names will not display. I’m not sure if this is a bug.
- Even if you didn’t select the commoner storyline, Andrew and Petra will appear in your home instance. Petra will be upstairs in the inn.
- Mira will also appear upstairs in a room in the inn, but I believe she is also bugged. In my instance she is wearing full armor & standing on a bed. I know in that in other instances she unarmored, bedridden, and missing an eye.
All Races
- Depending on what racial sympathy you choose, a group of that race will appear in your home instance, usually accompanied by an npc from the quest line.

Actually no I haven’t been back to my home instance once. Never really felt like their was any reason to go back.
I think they could do a lot more with the home instances, but I like going back after each major quest line and trying to spot what has changed.
I honestly can not remember who Mira or Octavian Inkblood are, and yet there they are in my (Sylvari) home instance as well. Mira’s just randomly standing near the twins and medics and doesn’t even afford a greeting, so she especially just seemed… kinda random… Good to at least know where she came from I suppose.
Octavian Inkblood also appears in the norn home instance before any quest lines are completed. As I have not yet finished the game, I’m not sure if he has any significance to the story. He appears to have a pet Salamander Drake in the norn home instance.
I haven’t spotted him in the asura home instance yet.
I pretty sure Octavian Inkblood is from the story quest, forging the pact, but don’t really get why he in the Human home instance (don’t think he appears in the Charr one).
And going through the Charr home instance with my Engineer, I saw Korukhan the Blacksmith (the Charr representative for the Order of Whispers in the Charr storyline), and also a Whispers Norn, but I think I didn’t see any Vigil in the Human home instance for my Guardian.
Darkness becomes light, light falls into darkness.
