WhenJanthir Wildsbecomes available on August 20,Guild Wars 2players with the expansion will be able to explore two new maps where they must forge an alliance with the lowland kodan, the inhabitants of Janthir Island. From the launch day, they will also be able to master new forms of combat and exploration and unlock an estate.
The estate is a personal instance for the entire account with a structure and land that can be decorated and cultivated. This space, which is unlocked and developed through an associated mastery track, can be shared with friends.
Another new feature ofJanthir Wildsaffects spears, which will now be available for all professions and can be used on land as well as in underwater combat. To use a spear in both environments, it will be necessary to equip more than one.
