when is the next sale

[Stef]

i want to re try this mmo but i want to have a mount when playing. In my understanding, the only way to get a mount is to buy a dlc. I am willing to pay for the dlc but the difference between sale and no sale are huge. Would also be willing to pay a few euros for a mount.
When is the next sale? Thank you

Actually just getting the latest expansion might be a good idea for you,
because it'll be a long time till it's on sale for 20% at most.
That is when you're planing on getting the complete bundle, as getting any of the first expansions makes it unavailable!

The "F2P" part of the game is pretty much the game we had on launch and was in fact designed without mounts.
Just running around on foot has a much better chance of triggering all the hidden events lurking in the open world.

okay thank you for the advice

[RotherHans]

Oh and you managed to pop in just during the longest sale drought!
Where were you last month?

Kiding aside, Spring/Easter should be the next likely sales date.

seems i am unlucky

The next sale should be the steam Spring Sale in march. Which is a good time to buy the Elder Saga Complete Edition (Which you can only buy if you do not own any of the first 3 expansions) which I think is usually 50% off.

And yeah, buying Janthir wilds right now is probably no bad idea since it won't get a discount any time soon anyways and is enough to get rid of the free2play restrictions and even unlocks Core Tyria (base game) masteries. As well as unlocking some of the more valuable Wizards Vault rewards (which is something only the newest expansion does).

Yes the mounts help. The 2 for 1 HoT/PoF is a good deal. You will get a raptor and the ability to unlock more mounts.

One thing I wanted to say- Elite Specializations (for post-lvl 80) will change the name of your profession upon equipping in build tab. Both Expansions contain separate specializations for all professions.

IMO some of the best skills are from these first 2 expansions!!

After that you will have the option to mix and match expansions, or just jump into WvW

hope that helps

I agree on that it's by far the best purchase option value wise. Sadly it's also the one that gets the biggest discount during a sale and purchasing it makes it impossible to buy the Elder Dragon Saga Complete Edition, so you must buy the Living World ingame in the gem store.

Next sale according to https://steamdb.info/sales/history/ starts on 2025-03-13

Since GW2 came to Steam, expansion sales on buy.guildwars2.com are always synchronized with Steam sales.

I agree with RotherHans that it might be best to unlock one of the latest two expansions and wait with buying the Elder Dragon Saga on sale in March for the juicy discount. It really comes down to how much of a completionist you are, if you want the full story in order, how much time and money you can see yourself spend on the game etc. Naturally, the more you buy in bulk, the bigger the discount, but also the upfront cost. ⚖

In any case, I recommend making a standalone website account for the game, instead the Steam-made account. (depends on how invested you already are in your current account (with 4½ hours logged, I'd say cut your losses now; and if you benefit from Steam's regional pricing):

And I know you probably don't wanna hear it, but try giving the game a chance without a mount for a while. When you get to level 10, when you would get access to the 10 hour trial mount, you can save it by just not clicking the "hourglass in horse shoe" icon, which is likely a good idea, because you cannot use it in story instances anyway.

Great tip! I bought the 5th expansion and now I can wait until the next sale to get the rest of the dlc at a discount.
