Guild Wars 2 Code of Creation is the final update for the Visions of Eternity expansion, released on September 15, 2026. It added the Leyspring Hollows map, the 10-player Nexus of Eternity raid, a 50-player convergence and the Solitary Throne fractal. Challenge and Legendary Modes followed in later weeks, and ArenaNet now focuses on Guild Wars 3.
What are the key facts about Guild Wars 2 in fall 2026?
| Item | Details (October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Current expansion | Visions of Eternity, launched October 28, 2025 |
| Latest update | Code of Creation, September 15, 2026 (the expansion finale) |
| New map | Leyspring Hollows |
| New raid | Nexus of Eternity, 10 players, with Challenge and Legendary Modes |
| New fractal | Solitary Throne, 5 players, with a Challenge Mode |
| Studio focus | Most of ArenaNet now works on Guild Wars 3 |
This is the state of the game as of October 2026. Guild Wars 2 is fully live, and Code of Creation was planned as content to carry players for a long stretch before smaller additions arrive.
What did Code of Creation add to Guild Wars 2?
Code of Creation closed the Visions of Eternity story. Beyond the last chapters, it brought a long list of rewards and systems:
- Leyspring Hollows: a new explorable map with its own events and map completion.
- A legendary sword to work toward through collections.
- New relics and the Tenebral Ward armor set.
- A new Wizard's Vault season with fresh daily and weekly objectives.
- A 50-player convergence for large groups.
If you have not finished the expansion story yet, do that first. The story unlocks the map and several masteries that the later content expects you to have.
How do the Nexus of Eternity raid and Solitary Throne fractal work?
Nexus of Eternity is a 10-player raid. The normal mode is the place to learn the bosses. Challenge Mode and Legendary Mode arrived in the following weeks and raise both damage and mechanics. Every player needs to know their role, whether that is tank, healer, boon support or damage.
Solitary Throne is a 5-player fractal with its own Challenge Mode. Like other high fractals, it expects good agony resistance from ascended gear and infusions. If your agony resistance is too low for the tier, enemies will deal far more damage than you can heal through.
- Learn normal mode first. Watch one clear, then try it with a patient group.
- Check your build. Use a current build for your role and keep boon uptime high.
- Read your logs. Combat logs show where damage or boons drop off.
- Move up to Challenge Mode only when normal clears feel routine.
Raid drops and rare rewards are random. What a clear always gives is the normal weekly rewards, such as Legendary Insights toward legendary armor.
Which legendary goals can you work on now?
Legendary gear is earned by playing, never bought. The main building blocks are the same as before, plus the new sword:
| Goal | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Gift of Exploration | Core Tyria map completion |
| Gift of Battle | World vs. World reward tracks |
| Legendary Insights | Weekly raid clears, toward legendary armor |
| New legendary sword | Code of Creation collections |
You also need gold and materials for most recipes. Plan the materials early, because they often take longer than the achievements. For the basics of levels, masteries and gear tiers, read our beginner guide to Guild Wars 2.
What does Guild Wars 3 mean for Guild Wars 2?
ArenaNet announced Guild Wars 3 and moved most of its team to it, so no new Guild Wars 2 expansion is planned for now. That does not mean the game is closing. ArenaNet has named smaller additions for Guild Wars 2, such as a new Orr area, an expanded Hall of Monuments and a new World vs. World map, without dates.
For players, the practical effect is that Code of Creation and the existing content will stay the main endgame for a while. That makes it a good time to finish legendaries and achievements you have put off.
Is boosting allowed in Guild Wars 2?
ArenaNet has a written policy that allows players to sell runs for in-game gold. It bans real-money trading and warns that shared accounts can be locked or terminated. A paid boost falls under the real-money rule, so every paid order carries some risk. Self-play, where you join our squad on your own account, keeps your login private but does not remove that rule. Coaching is the option with the least risk. Read our account safety notice before you order, and see the full menu on the Guild Wars 2 services collection.
What does Guild Wars 2 raid and fractal help cost?
Boosting Games sells fixed-price Guild Wars 2 services. Prices below are the starting prices at the time of writing (October 2026), and the exact price for your option shows before checkout. Every service is listed on the Guild Wars 2 services collection.
| Service | What you get | How you play | Price | Typical time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guild Wars 2 Raid Clears (incl. Nexus of Eternity) | A clear of the chosen raid with our squad, either with you playing or piloted. | Self-play or piloted | From $17 | 1–3 days |
| Guild Wars 2 Fractals & Challenge Modes | Fractal clears with our team, from daily Tier 4 runs to the new Solitary Throne and the Challenge Modes. | Self-play or piloted | From $12 | 1–7 days |
| Guild Wars 2 Legendary Progress by Play | We play the content that unlocks legendary steps, such as WvW reward tracks, collection tasks and weekly raid clears. | Self-play or piloted | From $29 | 2–28 days |
| Guild Wars 2 Map Completion | Hearts, waypoints, points of interest, vistas and hero challenges done by hand for the chosen area. | Piloted | From $25 | 3–10 days |
| Guild Wars 2 Coaching (Raids, Fractals, PvP) | Live coaching or a review of your combat logs or footage, focused on rotation, boon uptime, raid mechanics or PvP positioning. | Coaching | From $15 | Booked within 1–3 days |
Honest risk note: ArenaNet allows selling runs for in-game gold but bans real-money trading, and it warns that shared accounts can be locked or terminated. Paid boosts break those rules, so self-play does not remove the risk; it only avoids sharing your login. Self-play and coaching keep your login with you and carry less risk than piloted orders. Read our account safety notice before you order. We never sell gold, gems, materials, legendary items, accounts or bot play. Legendary items need your own materials, and PvP leaderboard spots or rare drops are never guaranteed.

Guild Wars 2 FAQ
What came out in Guild Wars 2's Code of Creation update?
Code of Creation launched on September 15, 2026 as the final update for Visions of Eternity. It added the Leyspring Hollows map, the 10-player Nexus of Eternity raid, a 50-player convergence, the Solitary Throne fractal, a legendary sword, new relics, Tenebral Ward armor and a new Wizard's Vault season. Challenge and Legendary Modes followed in later weeks.
Is Guild Wars 2 ending because of Guild Wars 3?
No. ArenaNet announced Guild Wars 3 and moved most of its team to it, so no new expansion is planned for now. Guild Wars 2 stays live, and ArenaNet has named smaller additions such as a new Orr area, an expanded Hall of Monuments and a new World vs. World map, without dates. The servers and existing content are not going away.
Can you sell me a legendary weapon or armor?
No. We never sell legendary items, gold or materials. We can play the content that unlocks legendary steps, such as map completion for the Gift of Exploration, World vs. World reward tracks for the Gift of Battle, or weekly raids for Legendary Insights. You supply any gold and materials the recipe needs, and progress is reported as we go.
Is buying a Guild Wars 2 boost allowed?
ArenaNet allows players to sell raid runs for in-game gold, but it bans real-money trading and warns that shared accounts can be locked or closed. Paid boosts fall under the real-money rule, so there is some risk with any order. Self-play runs avoid sharing your login but do not remove that rule. Coaching carries the least risk.
How long does a raid clear take?
Most single-wing or Nexus of Eternity clears finish within one to three days, mostly waiting for a squad slot. The run itself often takes under an hour. Challenge and Legendary Modes take longer and need good gear and some practice, which our coaching can help with. Weekly full clears of every wing take more scheduling.
What agony resistance do I need for Solitary Throne?
Solitary Throne is a high-level fractal, so it expects the agony resistance used for upper fractal tiers, which comes from ascended gear and infusions. The exact amount depends on the tier and whether you run the Challenge Mode. If you are unsure, tell us your fractal level and agony resistance before ordering and we will check it.
