Notes
- There was originally a nectar bar and the Gangplank next to the Eastern Ward waypoint, but this was destroyed during Scarlet's attack on the city and has not been rebuilt.
- Every once in a while, two children are chased out of the Southsun Cove asura gate by a Karka Hatchling, which is in turn chased by a Consortium Guard who smashes the karka before returning through the gate.

- Updated the portals in Skywatch Archipelago and Lion's Arch that transport players to the Wizard's Tower to appear for all characters on an account once the owner has completed the Chapter 6: Tower of Secrets story achievement.
- Previously, this required each character to complete Chapter 6: Tower of Secrets of the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure storyline.
- This change means that once any character has finished Chapter 6, all characters on that account can travel to the Wizard's Tower via either Skywatch Archipelago or Lion's Arch.

- Fixed an issue that prevented the portal to Shipwreck Strand in Lion's Arch from being accessible to every character on an account after completing the Unscheduled Departures story chapter in Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity.
