Guild Wars 2

What is this thing in the patch notes?

Its called a warning.

A warning for what? And it is in general notes…

So was the remark last patch about the dragon minions being drawn to ley energy. Be on your guard!

Only way to find out is the head to Kryta =]

For more bandits in Kryta?

The white mantle is coming.

Either they heard about afk farmers, and are starting their search for some easy pickings….

…or someone told them that there’s punch and pie.

Are you not familiar with teasers? Go out to the affected zones, check it out. Let us know what you find out. (Alternatively, wait for Dulfy to explain it and/or check in with Magister Ela Makkay, who usually has something equally vague to say.)

Oh gawd! Please let it be punch and pie!!!

Mursaat / White Mantle confirmed… Shiverpeaks next expansion?

If Divinity’s Reach is somehow involved, I had premonitions about that last year.

So…Divinity’s Reach

You’ll get some ‘Orders’ if you go out and kill Bandits….

And killing bandits gives you war supplies.

What a flash to the past. How I loved (selling) war supplies in Guild Wars 1. ^^

Can you get more than one set of Orders in a day? I got one, which led me to a bandit in Kessex, but no more seem to be dropping. So now I’m trying to find the locations sans map guides (got one in Brisban, one in Queensdale, one in Kessex, no idea where to look in Gendarren/Harathi/Bloodtide).

That actually would put me playing pve again….

The achievement seems to suggest it’s one order per day. (3 Daily bandit bounties)

Yes, I pressed on and found the other two — Queensdale and Brisban each have two bandits in them. Map discussion came to the consensus that your first one unlocks the achieve, then you need to do three dailies (since doing the first one still leaves you at 0/3 — either it’s bugged, or won’t kick in until tonight’s reset so as to add the daily to the table). So that part should be completed by Thursday evening for those who don’t skip a day.

Dulfy is on it!

As expected!

Unlike the Spanish Inquisition, this time one can’t say you weren’t expecting it. Bandits in Kryta!

The white mantle is coming.

I was playing a bit of GW1 yesterday and wondered why we don’t have bounties on White Mantle in GW2, then immediately thought, “Duh!” Then I log in and read the patch notes, went and got the drop from a Brisbane bandit, hit Div Reach, and logged for dinner. While eating, I read the above comment, get really big eyes, and think, “Oh, yeah!”

Dulfy has a guide for the GW2 version, although it’s hardly needed since the item shows you exactly where to go. http://dulfy.net/2016/05/17/gw2-bandit-bounties-event-guide/
