↖ How the Knife Tail Gang Hunting Bond Works?

The highlight of this event is the Knife Tail Gang Hunting Bond, a unique item that you can double-click to consume. This bond is reminiscent of the Rift motives in the Secrets of the Obscure expansion. When you consume it, you receive a special buff icon, and here's where the magic happens.

 

While bonded with the Knife Tail Gang Hunting Bond, any XP-earning kill has a chance to reveal one of the Knife Tail Gang hideouts. Your goal is to find these hideouts, as each one allows you to loot a piece of recovered Black Lion Goods. The best part? These goods unlock various items in your Black Lion Trading Company wardrobe, including weapons, exclusive dye colors, and, yes, even coveted Mount skins!

 

↖ Strategies and Tips

• Farm Efficiently: Focus on grinding XP-earning kills to increase your chances of revealing Knife Tail Gang hideouts.
• Collaborate: Consider teaming up with fellow players to cover more ground and maximize your loot.
• Stay Informed: Keep an eye out for additional updates and patch notes, as ArenaNet may tweak event mechanics over time.

 

Conclusion:

In summary, the Black Lion Stolen Goods Recovery event is a game-changer in Guild Wars 2. It offers players a chance to obtain coveted Gem Store skins, Mount skins, weapon skins, and more through dedicated gameplay. This event is a testament to ArenaNet's dedication to providing exciting content for its player base. Take advantage of this opportunity!
