Returnee check list.
Anything you want, pretty much. There’s no limit to what you can do in this game after six months away. It’s one of the strengths of the game.
Want to run dungeons, no problem. WvW, yes, you can do it. SPvP, no problem. The living story has returned as well.
Everything that’s in the game with the exception of the highest level fractals you can do.
Well with exotic gear and ascended jewlery there isn’t anything you CAN’T do.
However if you are looking for a list of things to work on I would start with:
1. Crafting now goes to 500. Level up your chosen weapon and armor profession to 500.
2. Begin work on ascended armor. These are long term goals, don’t get frustrated if you aren’t cranking out an ascended piece every other day. You will need to do dungeons, WvW, World Bosses and other activities to earn the ascended mats needed, so just play the game and collect the stuff you need.
3. Wardrobe collection. Skins are now permanently unlocked via the wardrobe ( you can view it from your bank). Collect skins you like and find rare skins you really want and start working towards those.
Those are some of the long term goals you can do. Certainly not everything, but a good place to start.
IF you want to work on ascended armor I suggest doing sPvP as it gives all of the materials needed for it.
To level up crafting skill to 500 I basically need no craft these Orichalcum items right? Is there any fancy new way to farm Ori? Or is it still the Orr runs?
