Talk:Wizard's Vault
Regular cycle?[edit]
- Moved to Wizard's Vault/research
Seriously?[edit]
Did they seriously abandon what was left of daily login rewards? And replace it with something that requires the new expansion to even bother with? Daddicus (talk) 00:21, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- You do not need the new expansion to participate in the system, it only locks you out of some types of objectives and some exclusive rewards. As stated in the article, every account with at least one lvl 80 has it unlocked. While the system is not perfect and hopefully they will improve it, you can now basically pick what you want to be your rewards for your dailies and weeklies via the new currency. ~Sime 00:24, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- I looked through the lists. All those Gathering nodes in our Home Instances are nowhere to be found. I'd been doing the old Dailies because rerolling characters and doing what's in the 'NEW' "Wizard's Vault" gets boring after a while. The old Dailies kept it interesting.--Enda - talk 20:18, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Feedback 2023/08/27 (Astral Awards)[edit]
I would like to see Max Cost and Buy Limit columns in the Astral Awards table. Can someone with the know-how add them? Buy limit is already in the table, but displayed in parentheses next to the item names.
Would probably also be better to have the SotO requirement text moved to a Notes column. Alternate prices for items would be nice too, especially for Mystic Coins and Gem Store items.
This is (at least in my opinion) some things that are good to know before spending Astral Acclaim:
Item | Cost | Max Cost | Limit | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Transmutation Charge | 8 | 240 | 30 | Gem Store price: 900 | (750 in bulk)
Black Lion Mastery Coffer | 15 | 300 | 20 | |
Revive Orb | 95 | 950 | 10 | Gem Store price: 2,500 | (1,800 in bulk)
Vision Crystal | 150 | 600 | 4 | Vendor price: 6 |
Lesser Essence of Gold | 1000 | 2000 | 2 | Previously earned through Log-in Rewards |
Bag of Coins | 6 | 540 | 90 | Value: 90 |
Mystic Coin | 9 | 540 | 60 | Trading Post price: 72 42 60 |
Tome of Knowledge | 8 | 280 | 35 | Vendor Price: 20 |
Heavy Crafting Bag | 8 | 240 | 30 | Requires Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure |
Mystic Clover | 60 | 1200 | 20 | Several vendor prices |
Bag of Laurels (fine) | 10 | 1500 | 150 | Previously earned through Log-in Rewards. |
Upgrade Extractor | 35 | 420 | 12 | Gem Store price: 1,000 | (950 in bulk)
Ascended Armor Chest | 400 | 1200 | 3 | |
Essence of Luck (masterwork) | 6 | 240 | 40 | |
Build Template Expansion | 425 | 850 | 2 | Gem Store price: 600 |
Obsidian Shard | 50 | 1000 | 20 | Several Vendor prices |

- Besides that it is not currently possible to add so, I am not personally a big fan of adding the alternative acquisition methods there especially as some of the items have many more than just what's listed in your example and even with just those the table looks pretty crowded. ~Sime 01:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Kryptis Bounty Event[edit]
From what I have been reading this is just the [rift] events. Should we create a article to reference that? 24.2.74.66
- So it should redirect to the Rift Hunting page (that should eventually have a detailed overview of how it all works). Gonna add it, thanks. ~Sime 00:59, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Relevance of 76 days?[edit]
One of note says
* Over the course of the 76 days players can accumulate up to 14,760 , and 110 ., 76
What is the relevance of 76 days? I don't see this timespan mentioned anywhere else. Thanks! --Leriel 10:20, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's the total time until the special tab gets new objectives and new items are available to purchase (with existing items added to legacy rewards), you can see the countdown yourself on the special tab. Mostly likely it won't be exactly 76 days every single time but I believe the intent is to do this every quarter of the year. --ItVictor (talk) 10:23, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Timers[edit]
In my opinion, we should get visible timers on this page for all the refreshes, so Daily - Weekly - Special. I know we have the reset day for daily mentioned via a template, but a counting timer would be great, especially for the Special section. This is often used on the Honkaiverse wikis, an example (Star Rail wiki on fandom), and it is a massive QoL thing to have, especially for a system with three different reset times (and especially since the Special timer is not even mentioned on the page). ~Sime 14:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'll see to making a countdown widget. Could be difficult to determine what time to have it count down for the special section though, considdering the low resolution of the in game countdown there. Not to mention that those countdowns seem to behave weirdly too. I think the one for the weekly counts down hours on the hour, while apperently the actual reset time is the weekly reset time, which is half way into the hour. So maybe it's doing something with half the current interval? I haven't observed those countdowns all to closely yet and i'm not sure i'll either, but determining the time of day the special one counts down to would seem difficult to determine reliably. Medyro (talk) 16:45, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! As I said on Discord, it looks great. I was not sure where exactly to add the timer but I put directly under Objectives as that's probably where most people would look for it. ~Sime 00:15, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
Formatting for the tasks[edit]
I checked how the German wiki formats this page, and I have to say I really like it: they split the Daily and Weekly objectives into separate pages, with formatting similar to achievements, while the main page has links and expanded overview. See: de:Gewölbe des Zauberers (Täglich). We are adding new and new tasks every day, and if we want to format the page somehow, the length will be massive. Thus, splitting it like this will add an additional click, but I think one click is better than an (almost) infinite scrolling required on page like was the Daily (achievements). A small thing, the DE/achievement formatting allows to add the small blurbs that accompany the tasks, which we are currently missing. ~Sime 01:51, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Would probably be the smartest thing to do for the long run. I'd say split it now before it becomes a really big task. Kaele Forester (talk) 19:20, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- I was meaning to suggest a single subpage, say "Wizard's Vault/List of (daily/weekly [Either of the two, for the case of two subpages.]) (Wizard's Vault [Not sure about a repeated mention. Could work well for (a) separate non subpage(s) though.]) objectives", and then linking to Daily/Weekly or similar section headers on there from the sections on the non subpage; but separate pages would work too.
- Splitting should be simple enough. However the descriptions might be a problem. Hopefully all of those (as well as all objectives (as all of the possible daily achievements were and still are)) will be available through the API. Medyro (talk) 16:26, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- So I made a quick GIMP mockup for how I think it could be visualized. I would really like if we could copy the ingame coloring for the modes. File:User Sime WV formatting.png (yes, the login objective is now PvP ;)). I tried to do something in my sandboxes but since I barely know anything about how to do complex stuff, I did not get far (and still needed help from dJemba). ~Sime 19:55, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Feedback 2023/09/13[edit]
There is currently a bug where only 10 clovers can be bought in the vault despite the UI saying 20 can be bought. --67.49.99.211 19:53, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Added bug to page. Please remember to report it to Anet through the in-game report feature. Thanks! --Rain Spell (talk) 23:31, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
request moving "Special" section on this page[edit]
request moving "Special" section on this page to https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wizard%27s_Vault/Easy_objectives Make a new 'Special' section on bottom of page
Feedback 2023/10/25[edit]
A few details, in my opinion, may be added or explained more clearly:
- Currently the objectives on the Special tab cannot be sorted thematically as it's shown in the article; in the game they all are sorted by reward in descending. This is a kind of disadvantage of current UI, maybe it will be improved in the future.
- There is no "Option" for Special tab; options gear is shown but inactive. It would be nice to have the settings for sort and also switching off the unavailable objectives for players without SotO expansion (of course it's more a note for developers rather than for article).
- Currently the information about refresh of the Astral Rewards is mentioned not clearly enough. It can be concluded that refresh time is exactly the same as for Special objectives; if so, please consider to combine the timer labels like "Special/Reward: 12d 6h 47m...". Otherwise, if the timers are different, pease add another timer before Astral Rewards list. --46.161.105.157 17:30, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Legacy rewards[edit]
Is the legacy rewards tab coming on the 7th november update or 1 of the 2024 updates 80.60.133.230 06:30, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- yes, should be coming on the 7th november, 2023 update. -- Wong8888 (talk) 11:19, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
Feedback 2023/12/18[edit]
As to verification requested on sub-L80 characters, I could not access Wizard's Vault on my alternate account that has no L80 characters. --Inculpatus cedo (talk) 02:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Archived data from Notes[edit]
Adding the data from Notes here, because they are not up-to-date and I cannot imagine keeping this updated in the future anyway. ~Sime 21:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Over the course of the 112 days (16 weeks) players can earn up to 22,195 , and 170 .
- There's some uncertanity to the number of days of the special period due to the low resolution of the in game countdown and previous changes to the countdowns behaviour. Assuming the weekly objectives change at 07:30 UTC, the countdown decreasing the amount of days remaining at 19:30 UTC and this 12 hour gap also applying to the special countdown, then assuming the special countdown decreases the time of days remaining at 04:50 UTC would have it end at a time of day of 16:50 UTC. The totals above assume it to end on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, at 16:50 UTC+00:00.
- The Astral Acclaim total does not take into account Astral Acclaim earned from sources other than Wizard's Vault objectives, such as from the 100 Astral Acclaim service item.
- The Astral Acclaim total assumes that no duplicates in the objectives available will/have occur(ed). This includes both the case of one objective occuring more than once on/in the same day/week while allowing for claiming the reward of only one of the instances as well as the possibility of earning more Astral Acclaim than usual per day/week due to the objective completion status being reset for any reason.
- The Astral Acclaim total does not take into account any Astral Acclaim possibly carried over from a previous season.
, 113 - Total cost of all the exclusive cosmetic rewards is 4,775
- This includes the griffon skin, emote, 3 armor skins, 16 weapon skins, but excludes Legendary Weapon Starter Kit, which costs 1,000 .
.
- Total cost of all the limited rewards is 16,575
- This does not include the cost to purchase Sanctified weapon skins. 16 weapons would cost 2,400 , and would raise the total to 18,975 .
.
Widget[edit]
With the new API endpoints available, I have made Template:Account wizard's vault listings widget. I have yet to add icons but can do. The API endpoints are a bit weird since they only show the purchase limit if you use your API token. -Chieftain Alex 23:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Defeat General Ignaxious, Knaebelag the Terror, and Eparch in Inner Nayos.[edit]
I have done all 3 individually and not received the award, so I assume that they have to be accomplished sequentially in the same instance. Separ (talk) 23:20, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Defeat 1000 enemies with spear -> not underwater?[edit]
Apparently the underwater "spear" doesn't count?--Rejutka 21:29, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Reading the wiki more closely answered my question - the special section is only for Janthir...--Rejutka 21:32, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
