Dragon Bash origins

The Dragon Bash festival was first held in Lion’s Arch following the defeat of the Undead Dragon Zhaitan and launched in 2013 as an event for players to participate in. It was held in Lion’s Arch until 2019 when it was moved to the Norn capital city of Hoelbrak, where it remains for now. The reasoning behind the Dragon Bash festival was to brighten the mood of the general population following the destruction and loss caused by Zhaitan and his minions. Dragon’s Bash was brought back after being canceled, and the events of the Sky Pirates Living World chapter detail exactly why — for those players who weren’t around the first time it happened.

Dragon Bash start date

Dragon Bash is slated to release on June 7, and the game will need to be restarted if you’re online when it drops. Unfortunately, Guild Wars 2 will be unavailable to play while you’re updating, and when you reenter, you’ll receive your mail with the invitation to the festival. Alternatively, you can Waypoint to Hoelbrak or use the Asura Gates in Lion’s Arch.

Dragon Bash events

Dragon Bash has several events that players can participate in to earn the festival-specific currencies, Zhaitaffy and Jorbreakers. Players can choose the events they want to join in and earn their rewards how they like. Players can also look forward to a firework finale as a closing ceremony to the event. Historically events for Dragon Bash include the following:
