Adventures are a new feature in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, set to challenge level 80 players. Adventures are indicated on the map and in the game world. Every adventure is performance-based, repeatable and takes place in the open world. Adventures have accompanying leaderboards for friends and guild members, allowing players to compete with each other for the best scores. Upon starting an Adventure, the map event interface will track progress towards Bronze, Silver, and subsequently Gold tier performance levels. Adventures generally involve time or survival constraints, rewarding practiced movement and planned strategies.

​

Adventures are closely tied to masteries, with many requiring masteries to reach. Most Adventures also allow for improved scores by taking advantage of specific masteries such as Updraft Use or Bouncing Mushrooms. Additionally, Adventures award mastery points and an achievement point for the first time an account receives Silver and Gold tier rewards.

​
