Special Forces Training Area
The Special Forces Training Area contains a variety of valuable tools that players can use to test their strengths and hone their skills. Previously, this content was accessible only through the Lion’s Arch Aerodrome and Arborstone, and it required that players be in a raiding squad to enter. With this update, we’re lifting these restrictions and enabling more players to utilize the training opportunities within the area.
- The Special Forces Training Area is now accessible to everyone and no longer requires a raid squad.
- Mounts are now allowed in the Special Forces Training Area.
- Added a new entrance to the Special Forces Training Area in Lion’s Arch.

- A new global dungeon currency, Tales of Dungeon Delving, has been introduced.
- All previous dungeon currencies have been retired.
- Completing any dungeon will now award Tales of Dungeon Delving.
- Existing dungeon currencies will be converted to the new Tales of Dungeon Delving currency upon logging in.
