Guild Arena UI.png

The Guild Arena is run and maintained by an Arena Proprietor. It is an area for guild members to use as a combat sandbox and customize it with obstacles and traps. New strategies or tactics may be tested and practiced by Guild Teams and members, but no rewards are available. Heart of Thorns Expansion is required to use the Guild Arena since interaction with an arena coordinator NPCs is required.

Guild arena were updated in the January 30th 2024 update to allow players to select which rule set is used by speaking to Castor Shoutsman.

Acquisition[edit]

The Guild Arena will become available once you have created Workshop Restoration 1.

Arena Restoration 1 will setup a temporary structure in the Guild Hall while work begins on building the full Arena. Arena Restoration 2 will give you access to the full Guild Arena.

Waypoint[edit]

Arena entry[edit]

NPCs[edit]

The arena and associated NPCs appear after corresponding guild upgrades are completed.

Coordinators

Appear at their respective colored shield map icon by the waypoint near the arena. All require the Heart of Thorns expansion.

There are several types of arena decorations, which are obstacles that may affect the flow of combat in the arena. They may be placed by guild members with the Arena Decorator privilege. Decorations may be viewed or placed after talking with the Arena Obstacles Coordinator.
