Guild Wars 2

Still don’t get how these work. Read the blog posts and still none the clearer. Anyone care to explain in simple speak?

BTW I’m talking about the rewards you see next to the map name, when viewing the full world map

You get points for completing zone events, and usually ever couple of gold medals for events will give you whatever item is to the right of the map name.

Maybe the Wiki will help explain it:

Wiki explains it this way: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Map_bonus_reward

To summarize:

• Doing events on a map gains you points on an (invisible to you) reward track that is specific for that map.
• max number of points per event is 100
• Every 200 points you’ll get a map reward.
• The rewards ends at 8000 points
• Any account that hits the limit has to wait till the reward track resets to get more.
• The reward tracks reset every Thursday at 00:00 UTC (18:00 UTC-6 the day before).

The rewards listed on the panel seem to be in sequence.
For example if it’s BloodTide Coast and these are its rewards then in sequence, every 200 points you will get
1) Vial of Thick Blood
2) Vial of Blood
3) Crystal Shard
4) Vial of Blood
5) Quartz Crystal
Then repeats

I don’t if it is bugged for anyone else, but the rewards panel disappears on any map I have 100% completed, but I still get the map rewards.

It would be nice if they put a count bar on the screen, or the option to toggle it, so that people know how many points they have on any given map.

Good info. I didn’t even know these rewards existed. Are they new?

Somewhat. Since the expansion. You can see them when you look at the individual maps on the big map, except for the 2-15 level maps.

Just looked and I can’t quite believe I missed that! I think I completed the map before HoT so I just don’t hover over the map names. Having said that, I’m pretty active in some of the maps so I must have had some rewards and not noticed. Dozy Ding.
