Champion Rush

“

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.

— Official description

Champion Rush is a special event that adds bonus rewards on successfully killing champion enemies in Central Tyria maps.

Mechanics[edit]

Killing champion and legendary rank enemies in Central Tyria (excluding instances, dungeons, Lake Doric, the Bitterfrost Frontier, Dry Top, and the Silverwastes, as well as Awakened champions during Joko's invasions) will drop Champion Marks, which can be traded with Consortium NPCs in each of the major cities.
- Alma in Caledon Path, The Grove.
- Bertrem in Plaza of Dwayna, Divinity's Reach.
- Kaya in Grand Piazza, Lion's Arch.
- Ripmaul in Memorial Quadrant, Black Citadel.
- Skorvhan in Trade Commons, Hoelbrak.
- Vakka in Creator's Commons, Rata Sum.
The Community Reward Goal is advanced when players trade in their Champion Marks.
Epic ranked world bosses and champions that don't drop loot (due to upscale, etc.) don't count as part of the event.

Community Goal[edit]

Community goal tracker

Throughout the event, a progress bar will track the progress of the Community Goals. The tracker updates in 15-minute intervals, increasing as more of the Champion Marks are handed in. However, due to a bug preventing the goal tracker from working properly, ArenaNet has artificially completed the Community Goal. The full set of rewards will be awarded after the event ends to all players who participated.^[1]

Community Goal progress and rewards will only appear when the character enters any of the six cities. The Community Goal progress and rewards won't appear in instances such as Guild Halls, Mistlock Sanctuary, and the Lion's Arch Aerodrome.
