Guild Wars 2 – Janthir Wilds Features Overview

Arriving at the Lowland Shore

Your first steps into Janthir will take place in the Lowland Shore map, home of the Lowland Kodan. Here you will have the chance to immerse yourself amongst them by assisting in daily tasks, engaging in sporting competition, and dealing with localized threats. During your time here, you will also learn of their relationship with your soon-to-be mount, the Warclaw, known as "Journeykin".

Into Janthir Syntri

As you push deeper into the wilds, you’ll encounter reminders of the region’s dangerous reputation. Deep forests transition into sulfurous swamps and volcanic terrain, with ruins left by the past. Magical storms called Mists Tides sweep the area, accompanied by strange creatures known as titans appearing more frequently.
