Guild Wars 2

I read the patch notes, and saw the Ley Energy info, but in-game have no notifications or prompts that lead me to do anything. In fact, the only message I have on my screen is the current list of dailies which I havent yet completed.

If there is some story or LS3 build-up here, I’m not seeing it. How do I get started?

Go talk to Ela in LA at Diverse Ledges. She’ll give you a new lodestone to use to find the event.

Or, if you’re in game now, go to Iron Marches in the next minute, as that is when it will spawn.

Ela has no new info for me, just a Scarlet re-cap and info on my pals Marjory, Taimi, etc.

Seems like a lack of planning to me, if the game wont notify me in some way of new content…

Have you been doing the other events that have been released over the past month or so? I believe you have to have done at least part of them to get the mail notifications when new ones come out. Also, make sure your mail isn’t full.

If you haven’t yet gotten a lodestone for the initial events you will need to go kill things that drop it. I think that was svanir in Frostgorge for me but I’d recommend looking it up in a guide to be sure. Once you have it, you go to Ela and she sends you out to the first ley resurgences. Hopefully you don’t have to actually achieve a kill there, people aren’t really doing them any more. That was the notice a lot of people got, in game. A weird thing dropped and double clicking it sent them to Ela.

Concurrently, kill bandits. The ones by the ranch north of Claypool in Queensdale are good for that. They drop bounty notices that people are still using as every 3 days of doing those gives a decent loot item including amalgamated gemstones. That won’t help you with Ela’s stuff, but it will move you along in the overall story events.

The lodestone will drop from any dragon minion in central tyria, except possibly risen (because lorewise they aren’t bound to a dragon anymore)

OriOri.8724:

The lodestone will drop from any dragon minion in central tyria, except possibly risen (because lorewise they aren’t bound to a dragon anymore)

This is the first step. Go kill any dragon minions that aren’t in the HoT maps and sooner or later you’ll get the lodestone which will start the process of leading you through the new events.
