Wizard's Vault
This article is about the rewards system. For the point of interest, see Wizard's Vault (point of interest). 
“The Wizard’s Vault is a new streamlined rewards system that combines the best elements of the daily login and daily achievement systems, allowing you to play Guild Wars 2 the way you want to–whether it’s PvE, Player vs Player, or World vs World, or a mix–and earn a wide variety of exciting rewards for doing so.
Wizard's Vault is a rewards system available to all players, replacing the previous daily login reward format and its generic daily achievements.[1] Players are awarded with Astral Acclaim, which can be exchanged for various rewards, including some Gem Store items. Some Wizard’s Vault tasks and rewards are exclusive to Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure, but all accounts with a level 80 character have access to the feature and the currency.[2]
Overview[edit]
- Players receive new objectives to complete daily, weekly, with each quarterly release, and certain festivals and bonus events. Completing them grants
Astral Acclaim
- There is a soft limit of 1,300 Astral Acclaim that a player can have at any given time. You can claim Acclaim until your balance meets or exceeds 1,300 . However, you will not be able to claim any more until your balance falls below 1,300 again.
- Players will always receive at least one daily quest in each selected category.
- There is a soft limit of 1,300
- If different players select identical categories and own the same expansions, they will receive the same objectives. Players with different expansions may see different objectives.
- Buying an expansion will display a different set of objectives immediately, not at reset. Objectives which you have done before the purchase will only count for the progress if they are present in your new objectives list, too. Some of the new objectives might be partially or completely solved - it seems the game tracks your progress in the background. If you have already claimed a daily or weekly chest before the purchase, you will not be able to claim it again.
- Rewards refresh on a quarterly basis (indicated by the timer under the Special tab), but any Wizard’s Vault–exclusive cosmetic[3] rewards simply move into the Legacy Rewards section of the vault, where they’ll remain available for the same type of currency indefinitely, at a slightly higher price than at their introduction.[3][2]
- The rewards are attainable through regular, normal play; there are no paid upgrades or progression skips, and the Legacy Rewards section exists to take the time pressure off and allow players to catch up if they take a break.[2]
- Daily achievement points are still available, earned by completing Wizard's Vault daily objectives.
Wizard's Vault objectives can be tracked, they however replace normal tracked achievements in the UI.
These buttons in the right top corner allows you to switch between the Achievement Watchlist and the Wizard's Vault Watchlist.
- The Wizard's Vault has three sections:
Objectives — lists all currently available objectives, also includes timers
Astral Rewards — lists all currently available seasonal rewards
Legacy Rewards — lists cosmetic rewards from previous seasons
Objectives[edit]
- See also: Wizard's Vault/Easy objectives
| Daily: <Countdown to 2024-07-27T00:00:00+00:00.> | Weekly: <Countdown to 2024-07-29T07:30:00+00:00.> | Special: <Countdown to 2024-08-20T16:00:00+00:00.> |
Upon the first activation of the Wizard's Vault, players are presented with a selection of gameplay options (PvE, PvP, WvW) for which they want to receive daily and weekly objectives. These options can be changed at any time but will only take an effect on the next refresh of the daily or weekly objectives. The selection of objective types will continue until changed. To change the type of objectives received, click the gear icon to the left of the Daily tab. Daily objectives refresh with the daily reset every day at 00:00, and weekly objectives refresh every Monday 07:30.
The objectives for each mode will be different between players depending on if you have the same modes selected. For example: if you have PvE and WvW chosen, your PvE objectives will be different to someone with only PvE chosen. If you both have only PvE selected and own the same Expansions you will have matching lists.
Daily[edit]
- See also: Wizard's Vault/List of objectives#Daily
Four random daily objectives will be selected from the chosen set of gameplay options every day, plus a fixed "Log in" objective. Each daily objective rewards 10 on completion, while the Log In daily awards 5 . Completing four objectives of the day will reward a daily completion chest containing other rewards and 20 . Players will also earn the Wizard's Vault: Daily Completionist daily achievement, rewarding 10
until the 15,000 limit for daily achievement points is reached.
Weekly[edit]
- See also: Wizard's Vault/List of objectives#Weekly
Eight random weekly objectives will be selected from the chosen set of gameplay options at the start of each week. Each weekly objective rewards 50 upon completion. Completing six of the weekly objectives will reward an additional weekly completion chest containing other rewards and 450 .

Notes[edit]
- Prior to the November 07, 2023 game update, the daily completion chest granted 30 .
- For research into possible objective cycles, see Wizard's Vault/research.
- While players without the Secrets of the Obscure expansion can not visit the physical location of the vault, they can access all of the functions of the vault via the in-game menu regardless.
- If a player does not collect the reward for a daily, weekly or special objective before it resets it will be lost.
- Game updates do not reset the daily and weekly objectives, even when the Astral Rewards and special objectives are updated. A player who completes the weekly objectives on Monday before an update on a Tuesday will not get a new set of weekly objectives.
