Halloween is upon us and the Shadow of the Mad King event is back once again in Guild Wars 2. While I highly encourage everyone to take part in all the festivities at least once, that isn’t what this article is going to be about. Instead, I want to focus on the items you can only get during the Guild Wars 2 Halloween event and how to get them.
I’ve made these lists easy for you to copy and paste into any spreadsheet software. Just highlight what you want, copy, and paste. I’ve excluded any items you can buy from the trading post as well as any that come from the gem store as they can be obtained (almost) any time you like. There are quite a few items that are new this year. In particular, there are full sets of armors and weapons which are only obtained by achievements during Halloween. Be sure to start working on the weapons right away as they take a few days to grind out each one and progress can only take place during Halloween.
Don't forget to do the achievements as well! Many are repeatable so you can keep getting the rewards over and over again.
