WvW Reward Track

WvW Reward Tracks tab.

WvW Reward Tracks are World versus World goals that can be activated in the World vs. World panel.

Reward track progress

Each WvW Reward Track has 8 tiers, with each tier containing 4 minor and 1 major reward. Each reward track contains 40 rewards in total: 32 minor and 8 major, where the last reward is generally the most valuable. To complete a reward track 20,000 points are needed, and a reward is received every 500 points. The progress in reward track is awarded at the end of each 5- minute scoring tick based on the player's current participation tier (see the table below), and whether the player is in a core WvW map.

Points per tick	Participation tier
	0	1	2	3	4	5	6
Core WvW maps	+0	+25	+60	+95	+125	+160	+195
Edge of the Mists	+0	+19	+46	+76	+90	+120	+146

The minimum time for completing a reward track (without boosters) is 8h 35m (103 ticks), where 195 points are earned per tick. The overall minimal time to complete a reward track is 4h 20m (52 ticks), where all available boosters increases the points per tick from 195 to 390.

Progress is also awarded on consuming Potion of WvW Rewards, or receiving Instant Reward Track Progress. Potion of WvW Rewards are obtained from Daily achievement reward chests that have a WvW objective and grant 250 points. For the completion of a reward track 80 Potion of WvW Rewards are needed. Instant Reward Track Progress is obtained on opening a chest from the Skirmish reward track, granting 25 points each. Both potions grant points to the currently selected reward track, and are not affected by boosts.

Players can only make progress on a single reward track at a time, with one exception. Switching between tracks will save any progress made, and players can return to where they left off. There is no known way to reset a reward track without finishing it. Upon completion of a reward track, the next reward track with the most progress (or a random one if all have equal progress) is automatically activated, unless the autorepeat icon (shaped like an infinity sign) has been checked, in which case it will restart the current track.

Reward track modifiers

There are several ways to increase the amount of reward track progress earned. These modifiers do not affect Potion of WvW Rewards and Instant Reward Track Progress.

Effect	Source	Duration	Bonus	Notes
Consumables and Enrichment
Guild Enhancement: World Reward Tracks	Nathan the Bartender	24h	3-10%	Bonus depends on level of guild research.
Файл:Experience Bonus (fifty percent).png Experience Booster	Experience Booster and Heroic Booster	30m or 2h	50%	Stacks duration. Can be used alongside the Guild Enhancement.
Black Lion Boost	Black Lion Booster	30m	25%	Stacks duration. Can be used alongside other buffs.
Celebration Bonus	Celebration Booster and Birthday Booster	1h or 24h	10%	Stacks duration. Can be used alongside other buffs.
WvW Reward Track Enrichment‎‎‎‎	WvW Reward Track Enrichment		5%
Time-specific bonuses
Call of War	Automatic		25%	World vs. World Weeklong Bonus event running from June 8 to June 15, 2018
Total			+100%	This total does not include time-specific bonuses

Therefore, the maximal progress is +390 for the core WvW maps and +290 for Edge of the Mists.

Increasing Participation

Participation can be increased in two ways:

1. By actively participating in events, securing objectives, and killing enemies. The amount of participation depends on the task and current participation tier, as shown in the table below.
2. By joining a squad and being marked to receive shared participation, a player can receive participation from their entire squad. One player can be marked to receive shared credit for every five players in the squad. This feature allows players to focus on scouting and defending while still making progress.

Every 100% participation will increase the player's participation tier. Participation beyond 100% will roll over to the next level with the remainder scaled down according to the next level. For example, joining WvW at participation tier 0 and defeating two invaders will award 150% participation, promoting the player to participation tier 1 with 16.67% participation towards tier 2. While under the effect of Outnumbered, participation gains are increased by 50%.

Participation has a variable inactivity timer, which obeys the following rules:

• The exact time remaining is visible on the participation bar, which also changes color as follows:
  • When more than 90 seconds remain on the inactivity timer, the participation bar is green.
  • When 90 seconds or less remain on the inactivity timer, the participation bar will turn orange.
  • When 60 seconds or less remain, it will turn red.
• Once the timer reaches 0, participation will rapidly decay to 0%, and then through any remaining tiers.
  • At this point, the timer will show how much time remains until participation decays to tier 0 at 0%. The timer will always start at 15 minutes, regardless of participation.
• The decay can be stopped by gaining participation, as shown in the below table. The timer can be reset in the same way.
  • When participation is gained, if its participation period is more than the time left on the inactivity timer, then the timer is reset to that participation period. There is otherwise no effect. For instance, if a player captures a ruin and then captures a tower, his inactivity timer will be reset to 10 minutes, even though it started at 2 minutes. Similarly, if a player captures a tower, and then captures a ruin 2 minutes later, his inactivity timer will not be reset, and it will continue to tick downwards from 8 minutes.

Participation is kept when traveling between the core WvW maps or when switching characters, but reward track progress is not awarded at each scoring tick unless you are present in the core WvW maps at the moment the tick rewards are processed.

Edge of the Mists has a participation meter that works the same way but is independent of core WvW participation.

Note that capturing the special objectives in Edge of the Mists does not increase participation. It is worth highlighting that some actions - such as defeating Veteran Scouts and Archers - do not award participation progress but still reset the inactivity timer.

At the end of a reward track a player may choose a single piece of armor associated with the dungeon.
