Exciting times for shoppers as Black Friday looms in the US following Thanksgiving. Black Friday is also coming to Tyria so snap up those bargains!

The Black Lion Trading Company is celebrating the biggest shopping day of the year with a Black Friday sale of their own.

This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, be sure to check out the Gem Store for limited-time discounts on some of your favorite items. Each day three different items will be discounted up to 70% off!But don’t wait, because each sale only lasts 24 hours.

You’ll have to log into the game and open the Gem Store (default key is “O”) to find out exactly which items are on sale each day. Happy shopping!
