We would like your help in decorating Windswept Haven. As WH has a vastly different style compared to Lost Precipice and Gilded Hollow, we're trying a different direction in decorating. Instead of sectioning off personal spaces for people to decorate, we'll be creating different themed areas that anyone ranked Squire and up can participate in decorating. If you wish, you may work on these decoration projects together with other guildies.
Some of the proposed themes are:
- Temple of the Gods
- Forged Area
- Awakened & Halloween Area
- Gardens
- Super Adventure Box/Jumping Puzzle
The Process
Feel free to submit your ideas through this thread or our #lionsarch discord channel. To have decorations made, please contact a Scribe listed below and they can craft it for you. You will, of course, need to supply the materials, as decorations can be quite expensive! Links to help you figure out which decorations to craft and what you need to make them are listed below as well.
When you have a decoration you want to place, contact an Officer in game and ask if they have a free moment to help you. The decorating privilege will be turned on for your rank temporarily so you can place your decoration(s). When you're done, please let them know so they can turn it back off.
Even if you don't want to participate in the act of placing decorations, materials for crafting them is always appreciated!
Guidelines
- Leave decorations placed by others alone. Skills 3, 4, and 5 erase multiple decorations in varying sized areas, so I would highly suggest sticking with 2 (Erase Single Decoration) so you don't accidentally erase anyone else's decorations.
- You will need to provide all of the materials for the decorations you wish to use.
- This one should be pretty obvious, but please do not use decorations to write or draw anything vulgar or obscene.

Decoration Resources
Decoration Page on the GW2 Wiki - About halfway down the page there is a section titled "List of decorations". Each link takes you to a category page that lists every decoration in that category as well as a gallery showing those decorations. Clicking on a decoration's name will take you to a page for that item, which will tell you how it is obtained. Decorations that need to be crafted by Scribes will list what level of Scribe is needed to unlock that recipe. This is why the levels of our Scribes are listed above. Use the Show base ingredients link to see a list of everything needed to craft that decoration. Prices in magenta are items that are bound to the Scribe (or in the case of basic decorations, the guild) so you will need to provide the Scribe with some coin to cover those.
GW2Efficiency's Crafting Calculator - Enter a name of a decoration to see a shopping list of components and current trading post prices.
2016 Video Catalog of Decorations - This is a video that shows 313 of the decorations that were available in August of 2016, minus a few trophies. Each one is shown next to a waypoint for scale and then closer up for detail. The video's description has time code links for each of the decoration categories. While it's missing more recently added decorations, it covers most of the commonly used ones.
Path of Fire Decorations - An imgur album of screenshots of decorations added so far in Path of Fire.
Scribe Leveling Guide - This site uses API to give a real time cost estimate for leveling the Scribe profession. It has become much cheaper since PoF's release, but I still recommend putting that gold towards decorations, unless you want the Achievement Points.
