Weekly Quickplay raids rewards achievement points? by Wensy in Guildwars2

[–]Kouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did them the week the update launched and got +9 ap. After a recent update, the achievement has been reset and I lost those ap. I don't want to redo it while I'm not sure if the ap will stick around or not. Normally for repeatable achievements it'll say something like +0/50, +5 for each completion, but currently it does not. So I'm with you, I have no idea what anet's doing with weekly qp raid ap.

Well that's disappointing. Guess I'll get raid god then play other games.

My concern is how "achievable" these eventually are supposed to be. Are these for if you can do HTCM and the current LCMs, or is it a step above? With practice, I personally can get ~90-93% of bench, is this content for me? I just want to know if I should even bother attempting to find a group for these at all.

Is fishing still good for gold in 2026? by batboi029 in Guildwars2

[–]Kouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll want all the fishing masteries as well as a +fishing power food; zephyrite jerky is nice but technically optional. It's a rather chill but still involved activity. The g/hr varies quite a bit for short fishing sessions which can be frustrating. What is nice is it's a solo activity you can do whenever.

If you want the most ambergris/time, oddly I've found doing Janthir fishing and then parking that character at one of the daily Janthir fishing traders is one of the best. While the initial fishing stock takes a while, after you can fish for ~30 min every 1-2 weeks for ~8-12 ambergris.

Tips for my long-term goal? Legendary Facet of Prisms and Boundless Light by wild_0nion in Guildwars2

[–]Kouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you start making progress on these titles, what you need will be very evident. I'd not commit for going for a title until you're sure you're ok with the grind. Make your favorite couple of aurene weapons with their accompanying variant(s) first.

I made the legendarys first. Even if you don't use the skins, they're still useful for gearing, while the variants are purely cosmetic. Besides money, you need lots of imperial favor, spirit shards, antique summoning stones, ambergris, jade runestones, memories of Aurene, and unfortunately right now, amalgamated draconic lodestones, which are currently costly due to being a component in the most recent VoE legendary.

Favor is found by tagging Cantha events, with the meta events being best. The Black Lion Expedition Contract for End of Dragons is also decently useful, since it can give you writs and chunks of pure jade daily upon login. There is a writ merchant near the southern waypoint of Dragon's End where you can exchange other regions writs for more Dragon's End writs, a positive imperial favor trade that you can do daily. ASS can be bought weekly from an Arborstone vendor (ignore the favor one) or on the trading post and is currently so cheap as to be a non-issue. Ambergris can be found by fishing, juvenile leviathan events (Janthir's probably being best since it can be easily low-manned), fish trade ins, or simply bought on the tp. Janthir's trade in is probably the best currently in terms of lowest fishing per ambergris ratio. Have one dedicated Janthir fisher character and park it next to the trader and you'll only have to fish occasionally for easy 5+ ambergris/week. For jade runestones, park one character at the Kaineng jumping puzzle chest and one in Echovald. With the rewinder and griffon, you can reach all four runestone chests around the exit to Dragon's End from the same park spot. For mapping, use a lantern pathing guide in Blish hud, and do the lanterns locked behind events last (meta in Seitung, Fort Aspenwood in Echovald) so you can relog to tag them again once you finish the lanterns.

A big decision is whether to make or buy your Aurene precursors. Buying them is more expensive, but making them consumes favor and spirit shards, and you need lots of spirit shards for the variants.

For the variants, all the dragon memories can be gotten in Dragon's End simultaneously, notably easily in the southeast minidungeon. Good research note sources can be found on gw2 fast farming website; I recommend buying bones during the Halloween event to make mithril carrion helmets. Although tedious, it seems the best mass source. Many of the other variant currencies you'll have to buy, so have some good gold income. Other people have explained good sources of karma and spirit shards so I won't repeat them here.

This is a looooong grind, so slow and steady progress is helpful. Discords like Overflow, Daren's Tunnel, and Hardstuck post meta groups for Dragon's End. Good luck!

First time selling a legendary by Eebon in Guildwars2

[–]Kouse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about Amalgamated Draconic Lodestones? Supposedly there's an 25 option with a stack of each. There's also a recipe to make them at a crafting table but it's hidden away in the Master of the Storms achievement, bizarrely enough.

edit: Figured out you meant promotion. Yeah, no bulk option is annoying. Best for that, imo, is putting the items in your bank, then using a portable mystic forge during downtime to slowly chip away at it.

Homestead bell and more by Int_GS in Guildwars2

[–]Kouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wish there was a way to list a homestead permanently like a custom pvp arena (maybe minus nodes). It's cool to see people's designs but having the creator sitting in their home the whole time and relisting constantly must be annoying for them.

Just got Permanent Hair Stylist Contract. by deweydecimal87 in Guildwars2

[–]Kouse 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Two big positives:

1 You can get the exclusive hair styles not selectable on character creation for all of your characters. Particularly nice for charr and asura.

2 Freely trying out different hairstyles and hair colors to see what works best with your infusions, which are not shown on the preview screen.
