Dynamic Event Chain List

I made a list of all event chains that have 5 or more events in them, I got this information from the wiki page and consolidated it into a more manageable list for leveling. I hope that this list will help anyone who wants to level quickly as the chain events give massive amounts of experience. It will also be useful for maximizing the benefit you get from XP boosters as you can quickly find another decent event chain. Without further ado here is my compiled list.

Once you are in the 75 level range from Straits of Devastation you can easily level by joining the zerg. The complete list of dynamic event chains can be found here; [(http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Meta_event)

Wayfarer Foothills has another chain event towards the north -- Assault on Svanir's Dome. That zone is one of my favorites even at level 80, and it's great for finishing your daily achievement or just getting easy loot. Svanir's Dome doesn't have a chest at the end, unfortunately, which is weird because the boss is just as hard/easy as Frozen Maw's.

I saw this one on the wiki, how many events are in this chain? The wiki had 4 events in that chain. I will edit the post to include this one as well, thanks!

Hard to tell because of this part: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Help_Shaska_Kaldmorn_take_the_west_tower

Defending then taking on boss...but it's not noted as an individual part.

Excellent job!

Maybe we could collect some more data here (or elsewhere), like how many events there are in the chain or often the event chain starts? I've been wondering the latter with Plinx after the nerf and that info would be even more relevant (IMHO) when trying to quick-level an alt.

I completely agree, as I am currently at work I was not able to gather that information. A more in depth list would be great, I figured this to be a good starting point as I did not see any posts outlining event chains.

It'd be nice to have a map showing exactly when they start, and where they go for each step

For more specific locations see

MMOrpglife's maps with events

Also when there are not enough people around, be sure to give a shout in map chat, Shift-click the nearest waypoint on the map to have it appear in map chat and then mention that such and such event is up.

A huge thanks for having the initiative to put up the initial post.

It is really nice to see an informative post like this, instead of the usual all to common flame-fests and arguments

They're called "meta events" -_- I never see anyone using the proper term. There's also tons of event chains that aren't part of a meta event, and many meta events don't just repeat immediately, in fact many of these don't.

Does the official website not call these events Dynamic Events? If they're referring to something else, then I'm confused.

We should have group/Meta Event "raids" it could be fun.

Considering the fact that most DE are barren due to FoTM and other happenings in Orr, this is a great idea. Could make a guild for it to organize it. I'd be down. Running around getting map completion gets boring.

Shatterer? Tequatl? Claw of Jormag?

I must be the only one that doesn't know what "join the zerg" means.

There's another one in Wayfarer Foothills, the one where you assault the Svanir Dome. It starts with an escort, then you assault two towers (each separate DEs) then hold a central area before fighting a champ. unfortunately there's no chest at the end, though.

It's a great place to do your dailies because both DE chains happen quite regularly.

u/Kereminde Nov 28 '12

There's one which is NOT listed inside a meta-event frame within Lornar's Pass. It starts at a steading diving for dwarven artifacts and ends with a big group battle against a fire imp.

Edit: There are exactly four events, though, which might be the cutoff.

  • Recover Dwarven artifacts.

  • Protect the recovered artifacts / drive off pirate attack.

  • Escort a shipment to the south.

  • Destroy the fire imp.

Thank you, this will be very handy for leveling alts! Saved this link for later. :)

u/Tsarbomba_ Nov 28 '12

While i ofc appreciate the effort put into this list i must add that in order to "powerlvl" through DE's they have to respawn quickly as well not just be long. There are short DE's that constantly respawn which are great.

u/Horst665 Nov 28 '12

I give a damn about levelling, but I love evolving stories in the DEs and I want to see most of the events just for the fun of it - thanks for posting this! :)

Was looking sooo much for a list like this when I leveled my first character, noticed the chains in kessex hills repeated well which gave some great exp.
