↖ Prerequisites

Before embarking on your Skyscale journey, there are a few prerequisites you should be aware of:

 

• Access to Guild Wars 2's Secrets of the Obscure content.
• Acquiring the Flight Training Mastery in the Mastery system.

↖ Find the Abandoned Skyscale Egg

To start your journey towards obtaining a Skyscale, you need to find an Abandoned Skyscale Egg. These eggs can be found at various nest locations in Tyria. Here are some maps to help you locate these nests:

Search the nests one by one until you discover the elusive egg. Once you've found it, proceed to the next step.

 

↖ Speak with Skyscale Trainer Dyanne

Take your newly acquired Skyscale Egg to Skyscale Trainer Dyanne at the Beacon of Ages. Diani is located west of the Waypoint. When you meet Diani, she will offer you three achievements, each of which contributes to the "A New Friend" achievement, your path to obtaining your Skyscale.

 

↖ Egg Infusions

Before moving forward, you have the option to purchase the Egg Infusions from Dyanne if you'd rather not complete some of the associated achievements. Here are the Egg Infusions and their respective locations:

 

• Skyscale of Water: Dive into the depths off the Cast of All Waypoint in Bloodtide Coast.
• Skyscale of Fire: Brave the fiery inferno at the Great Imperial Smelter in the Black Citadel.
• Skyscale of Ice: Venture into the frozen wastelands of Bitterfrost Frontier, or acquire it during the Claw of Jormag world boss fight.
• Skyscale of Earth: Conquer the quicksand in Dry Top at the Prosperity Waypoint.

• Skyscale of Life: Revive 20 allies, easily achieved during world boss events, especially Claw of Jormag.
• Skyscale of Blood: Defeat 100 enemies around the Bloodhill camps in Gendarran Fields.

 

Complete these achievements at your own pace, or purchase the infusions if you prefer to save time.
