I know Anet gets a lot of flack from haters, but they deserve a standing ovation for this collection. While yes it is still quite the grind, i do not regret the hours and gold i spent to get the precursor made.

Anet thank you. I will explain why in the spoiler zone!


Day one of crafting, i managed to get started on the story, and it started out on a wild tiger hunt (quite literally). I thought nothing of it, until i realized that we were hunting the cat of the true story of the man eating tiger in India, who killed two boys. This really got my motivation going, so i hurried along, to finally get to the point of killing both Chuka, and Champawat.
When Anet threw the curve ball, it choked me up. Not only did it get my emotions running like how they did when they killed Tybalt, but i felt genuinely sad about what i had done.

Oh you killed a pixel cat, who cares!

No its more than that. The reason i kept going after it, was why it kept running. i was its threat, and now the two cats are dead after so long of trying to have peace and find a home that they were safe at.

What was the real kicker in this story, was the moment i read that i had found thier cubs in the final den they had rested at. my heart sunk as i thought about it.

3rd tier now done, i am now in charge of three rascally wild cubs who just want love. I will literally sit there and look at the cubs play in their new den, and for once i felt purpose in a video game. Like i was actually in charge of the well being of these three cubs.

Thank you Anet, i bow down to you this day. Please please please keep these coming, as this story is worth any money or any time just to experience.

I now have some of the best companions and they are not even real.. Am i crazy? naaaaah
