Guild Wars 2

That’s a Lot of People

stargrace May 8, 2019 No Comments

ArenaNet has a special event going on this week where for all the world bosses that you complete, you’ll get an extra chest with some goodies inside. Some of the goodies are rare auras (appearance items) which have a chance of dropping. I poked around for a bit trying to get a good drop or two, but none happened my way (RNG forever my friend).

That’s alright, I was more than happy with the extra rewards, since I was going to be doing boss fights anyway. I try to get them all done at least once a day. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way depending on how much free time I have, but I make an attempt.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Too Many Choices

It’s Tuesday and that means the second round of gifts were waiting for me in my mailbox since I bought it last week. This week included a bunch of weapon and outfit skins – along with 2 vouchers for mini pets. I bought a chicken mini that swirls around inside of a tornado with some eggs because it’s just too damn cute.

As far as black lion outfits go, I don’t have the slightest idea which to choose. They all look amazing.

A new 2 handed sword was also revealed, my mesmer is drooling for this one. The chances of me getting it are pretty slim to none, but it’s always nice to dream and have goals.

A Skimmer Mount (finally)

I don’t tend to look ahead when it comes to story lines, and that included the how-to in obtaining mounts in GW2. I have owned the springer and the raptor for quite some time but I held off on the skimmer not knowing what was involved.

I should have gotten it a lot sooner.

It’s a very easy quest chain (probably one of the easiest) and before I knew it I was gliding along the sands (and water) with the new mount. While I was at it, I decided to look up the requirements on the next mounts. Those ones, will be a while, lol. Still, progress is progress!

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

GW2 Goals

Just a simple list of things I’d like to work on and acomplish in GW2. No timeline for any of it, they’re just things to give me a bit of direction when I find myself floundering (which is often, there always seems like so much to do I never know which to actually work on).

• Finish Living World Season 2, 3, and 4
• Finish PoF
• Unlock as many mounts as I can
• Finish Heart of Thorns
• Obtain a legendary weapon
• Finish gearing up in ascended gear
• Unlock the tiger backpack & mini

Picking Out Mount Skins

stargrace April 24, 2019 No Comments

Yesterday ArenaNet announced a new promotion for GW2 where for 2400 gems you’d get a little bundle of goodies each Tuesday for four weeks. Each week you DIDN’T buy the bundle, the cost would go up slightly. The first bundle included a dye pack, a mini pack, and two mount skins to choose from.

Now I only have two mounts unlocked so far (the raptor and the springer) but I have high hopes of getting the rest unlocked over time. I absolutely could not pass up on the Starshell skin for the roller beetle mount even though I am no where near getting it.

I also picked out a skin for the skimmer mount, that’s one I should be able to get fairly soon.

What can I say, to quote Pixel One – “GW2 end game is Fashion Wars” – she’s completely right, and I love it.
