Living World Season 1: Flame and Frost[edit]

In the wake of the climactic events of the personal story, the world begins to shift. A dangerous new faction has formed in the Shiverpeaks, and the Pact commander steps in to help as refugees pour into the Black Citadel and Hoelbrak. Team up with Rox and Braham Eirsson for the first time, and confront the menace of the Molten Alliance!

After years of being unavailable, the "Flame and Frost" episode of the Living World story has been restored and restructured as a linear Story Journal episode. This episode is permanently available to all players with no unlock needed. Over the coming year, four more episodes of Season 1 will be released to chronicle the commander's battle against a lurking evil between the end of the personal story and the beginning of Living World Season 2.

  • The original Flame and Frost achievements, along with a set of new achievements, are now in the Flame and Frost category in the Achievements section of the Hero panel.
    • Completing the new achievements will progress a new Flame and Frost Mastery meta-achievement to earn new rewards.
    • Existing achievements will retain their completion status if you earned them during the original Flame and Frost events.
    • Some existing achievements have been updated with additional goals or revised goals to ensure that they can still be completed.
  • Some open-world content from "Flame and Frost" has been returned to Diessa Plateau, including Molten Alliance events, refugees, and the Alliance's sonic periscopes.
  • The Cragstead and North Nolan Hatchery missions have been retired from the Scrying Pool. Their associated achievements are now completed by playing the Story Journal version of the mission.

Fishing[edit]

  • Added new messaging while fishing to let players know when they have used up their last piece of bait or lure charge.
  • Added a fishing rod skill, Modify Tackle, to allow players to more quickly access their fishing panel to change out bait or lures.
  • Moved the Angler Sense fishing rod skill from the fifth skill slot to the sixth skill slot to make room for the Modify Tackle skill and to align it to the same key it is on when piloting a skiff.
  • Added new fishmongers and fishing supply merchants to a variety of locations around Tyria that sell bait preferred by their local fish.
  • Renamed the Oceanic Trash Collector and Oceanic Treasure Collector collections to Aquatic Trash Collector and Aquatic Treasure Collector to better represent the items coming from many types of water.
  • Fixed an issue in Sandswept Isles in which fishing node locations intended to have offshore fish incorrectly had shore fish instead.
  • The Rata Sum Port Authority is now open to fishing after a recent discovery of fishing nodes there.
  • Fixed a bug that could sometimes prevent players from anchoring their skiffs.
  • Added a new Flight of Sushi recipe to vendors found throughout Cantha.

Profession Skills[edit]

  • Whirling Light.png Whirling Light: Fixed a bug that caused this skill to only hit the arc in front of the player instead of in a full 360-degree radius.
  • Heaven's Palm.png Heaven's Palm: Updated the description to indicate that this skill incorporates a shadowstep before its impact.

Thief[edit]
