“The sun was strong this afternoon. Your steps were heavy on the stiff earth and the stones of the imperial road. To this must be added the endless political speeches of the wealthy nobleman who paid you a favorable sum to be escorted to the neighboring city ... The undead and other monstrosities that prowled the lowlands made every excursion outside the cities perilous. This contract was an opportunity to pocket a tidy sum, given the status of your employer. That said, your group of mercenaries does not go unnoticed and you feared an ambush at each crossing. And rightly so…”
Greetings mercenaries!
Let us introduce you to another aspect of the upcoming Guildmaster update scheduled for the 25th June! This content release will bring you a whole new look at the game, with a greater immersion, especially thanks to the management of your Guild and its members and the variety of missions that will present themselves to you. The story lines and the way they have been exploited is all new! Therefore, to all the board gamers out there, you’ll be able to rediscover the lore of Gloomhaven from a new perspective! We hope this new content will delight you, as well as the neophytes.
Since the bandits and monsters made their way through the lands, people are afraid to leave their homes, making impossible trades and connections between towns. As a guild master, your mission will be to make the roads safer, not without filling your pockets in the process … Let’s see further what this journey has in store for you!
NEW TYPES OF QUESTS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!
Journey missions
These missions are taken to unlock new locations. Once your group of mercenaries is recruited, you’ll be able to explore the map and different towns and places thanks to the journey missions. The more you’ll explore, the more the map will be revealed to you. Liberating the region will also provide you with new missions to do and a handful of goods stocking your Merchant’s inventory!
Story missions
Once certain locations are unlocked, you’ll be able to try your luck in recruiting a mercenary! Each one of them will also bring a unique story line to the table. Learn more about their past and motivations thanks to these new immersive quests!
Relic missions
These quests are unlocked by the Trainer and give you access to secret, powerful artefacts scattered throughout the lands of Gloomhaven.
Job missions
As a guild master, your priority is to make gold, by exploiting the current context in which the region is struggling with. The Job quests are the recurring missions that will allow you to earn, among other things, money, experience and other generic rewards.
MISSIONS OBJECTIVES AND DUNGEON MODIFIERS ARE HERE!
In addition to all this, each quest you carry out will be punctuated by very specific mission objectives, such as defeating a specific enemy, killing as many enemies as possible or protecting a character... Adapt your strategy and the management of your cards in order to fulfill the mission objectives!
We are also adding modifiers! These will also deeply affect the way you play in a dungeon: a mission that appears to be a milk run would sound different if all your mercenaries started it wounded, right ?
More missions are to come! As new content and new mercenaries are added, you’ll be able to discover their unique stories through dedicated quests! We will also bring new modifiers and objectives for the dungeons to get closer to the huge content of the board game.
