What is the Wayfarer’s Challenge?

The Wayfarer’s Challenge is an Exploration Challenge I’ve set myself to explore Tyria.

The reason I posted this here is that it may catch some other intrepid explorer’s eye, and they may think it’s a neat idea.

I’ll be limiting the challenge to PvE, because the WubWub-ers prolly don’t want me taking up a space and not contributing. Can’t blame them, really

Rules

  • Instant Travel Must Not Be Used – Aside from the obvious exception of dying, Waypoints or going through the Mists cannot be used for travel. In short, it’s on-foot everywhere (wouldn’t be much of a Wayfarer’s challenge otherwise).
  • Map Icons Must Be Switched Off – See that eye in the bottom left-hand corner? Use that to turn all of the icons off. This will at least mean that you have to look out for the Vista maps. Who knows what scenery you’ll pick up?
  • Exploration Isn’t Limited To Map Completion – As well as Vista’s, PoI, and other marks on the map, Jumping Puzzles and Mini-Dungeons must be done. Essentially, anything under the Explorer and Jumping Puzzle tabs that isn’t Dungeons, Fractals and Legendary Weapon must be done.
  • TP And Other Characters Cannot Be Used – Everything the character gets must be gotten off of their own effort, meaning you can only use vendors and crafting.

Good luck, and for those who are about to explore…we salute you!

Life is a journey.
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.

I think I’d rather just get my title and move along…

I’ll check back in 251 years when you’ve made your legendary weapon without using the Trading Post.

Ok…care to quote where I said the goal was to create a Legendary weapon?

Get ready for lots of ‘STOP HAVING FUN’ replies.

Enjoy your adventure.

Having hit 100% on my main, I think this is great idea for an alt.

I’ve been trying to do this from the start of my guardian, but I still fall into the trap of wping/map checking out of laziness, but it is so much more fun when you just let yourself wander (the Living STory in Wayfarer was much more enjoyable this way).

I’ll (try) to follow the first 3 rules (I like using TP for acquisition so I’ll stick with that)

Good luck on your adventure!

I misunderstood the part where you said everything “but” fractals, legendary weapon, and ect. must be done. Haha
