Update: (2013-05-24) I moved the IDs to a simple CSV-file and added some IDs (2 or 3)

You can download a CSV-file with all IDs of group-events from here: http://filedump.gw2info.net/api/group_events.csv

Listed events: 181
Last Update: 2013-05-24

It contains a list of all events listed on the following two websites:

(Thanks to Relic for providing the second URL)

Feel free to use it in your projects and you’re also free to send tons of gold to my inbox… if you feel like it ;-) ;-)

The Talcmaster.7391:

Thanks, that’s a pretty handy reference. If we could enter those all as a list into an events.json parameter, that would be super handy.

Thanks, been a bit (aka too) obsessive about it the last two days. Nice to get some feedback

  • Place the orb

If you find any missing Events (or Errors in the list), please post their IDs.

Feel free to use this list in your Projects.

Many of those were from the Lost Shores one-time event. Some others (the rebel lunatics, for instance) were from the Halloween event. The “Orb” events were probably removed when the Orbs were removed.

The only ones I’ve seen recently were the “overgrown grub” and “arboreal spirit” events from World vs. World, and from what I’ve read about the WvW objectives API, this omission doesn’t surprise me. Perhaps it’ll be included in the next patch.

Relic.7148:

Historical events get categorized as group events although they don’t get categorized normally. You can generate a list of non-historical group events with a SMW query:

Tiscan.8345:

Hm… thanks for the info, Relic. I’ll take a look at the list later today and try to update my list.

Thanks for this.

I put it into a javascript array here: https://github.com/PrimalZed/GW2ActiveEvents/blob/master/Scripts/group_events.js
