Guild Wars 2 news » Champion Rush Begins Next Week

Walloping world bosses might make Tyria safer, but there are plenty of smaller threats lurking around the countryside. They may not be as tough, but they’re plenty mean—and we’re counting on you to remind them who’s boss.

Starting next Tuesday, each time you kill a champion enemy in Central Tyria maps, you’ll receive a Champion Mark in addition to normal loot drops. Trade Champion Marks to Consortium officers in capital cities in exchange for Bonus Boxes of Goods. You can find them by clicking on the Special Event notice in the UI.

Each Champion Mark traded will also contribute to a community goal. Unlock tiers for more rewards!
