Guild Wars 2

I’m curious about how long did it take players to finish the story? Also, do you end up with an ascended backpiece by the end that you chose at the beginning?

I’m wondering as I chose Whispers on my Necro and Vigil on my Thief, but I want both backpieces for skins as well as stats. One was valk, the other zerkers.

Thanks!~

So there is about about 16 story steps according to the log. However I believe there is only 11 instances to get through. It really does not take too long at all. The mastery system was the only thing to gate the story; making it feel longer then it really was (the first time around). Since it’s actually shorter then season 2 living world.

As for the backpack you have to go through the getting the exotic tier first which is not too bad. However the last tier you need to complete most (if not all) of your mastery’s for. Also you need to make sure you have to have finished up Whisper’s Secret collection. Which is probably the biggest money sink if you have not already done it.

Here is some more info on what I am talking about:

Edit: Here is also another special tip. Don’t get the leyline chest/coat piece during the story. It a complete waste of an option if you get it. I learned this the hard way. Basically the fight with the Mouth of Mordremoth (Dragon Stand map) eventually gets you this piece of armor (all the time).

Wow, thanks for the tips! I think I’ll just go for an ascended quiver instead as it’s the cheapest route for now.
