Guild Wars 2: New Skimmer Mechanics in Visions of Eternity Detailed

The Visions of Eternity update for Guild Wars 2 is set to introduce significant updates to skimmers. These changes are inspired by the MMORPG‘s new region, where skimmers have uniquely adapted to the island’s environment, developing traits that differ from their Elonian counterparts.

A key distinction is that these skimmers evolved in a region abundant with ley magic, resulting in enhanced mobility and utility as mounts. They have developed aetherlocation, enabling them to detect threats and locate hidden treasures underwater. They can also achieve bursts of increased speed. Furthermore, they possess the ability to attack enemies using water jets.

Players will need to train their skimmers, essentially leveling them up to unlock their full potential. This training will teach the skimmers the aforementioned abilities and grant them the capability to ride ley lines.

More details about these fascinating creatures are scheduled to be revealed in a livestream this Friday.
