Thanks for this! I’m actually pretty excited about the achievement rewards now! =)
great as Always:
but weapon skin vid is set as private <=== fixed
While the last link for celestial recipes is broken :|
Can you tell me how to get other weapon skins like daggers for example?
Also if old achievement are taken in account.
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

Oops, link fixed. Yes old achievements are taken into account and you will have access to the full selection of weapon skins. Some may not be available until higher achievement milestones though.
If the guide is correct the price of some of the abundant items in TP will increase. Like silk, thick leather, mithril, elder woods, candy corn, Zhaitaffy so on. I wonder if the Zephyr sanctum supply boxes will be worth it.

Awesome! Thanks Dulfy.
I have to say, I’m very disappointed that the achievement armors are the same for all types.. I don’t think I can make a very good set with light armors with it. /sigh

I actually like that they are the same, it will give light and medium armor users some much needed variation. Also I imagine these are only the beginning and a lot more will be added to achievement reward choices over time.
You are godlike Dulfy. That is all.
I’m quite looking forward to this patch. Quite a lot of interesting things.
Awesome! Thanks Dulfy.

So far from the screenies we have, I feel like both radiant and hellfire armors are tailored for heavy users.. I imagine it would look good on my Sylvari Guardian, but will definitely not fit my mesmer. I wish they would cater to us light users a bit more considering the sky pirate light set looks worse than the other two.

what do you mean “You can pick only one skin to unlock per achievement chest”? does it mean that, to get all zenith weapons, i’d need what, 10k achievement points? :/
Awesome! Thanks Dulfy.

sky pirate light armor looks awesome! if anything, it’s the heavy set that looks stupid.
but female characters got crappy versions of the awesome skins. i feel bad for female players, always feels like their skins are kinda crappy when compared to the male version. i bet they all play asuras to counter that :P
Hmm… I expect quite a few “comments” regarding the kite achievements. Especially when one of them is in Obsidian Sanctum again. The others aren’t in the easiest puzzles either. Maybe they’re trying to get players to do the least played puzzles.?

That seems like what they meant yes
26 achievements, some will take while to complete and we can assume that more people will focus on them from now on. The question is, are they limited to 2 weeks only like the Sky Pirates or do we have more time to get them done?
Awesome! Thanks Dulfy.

26 achievements is alot but most of them can be done fairly quickly. You can pretty knockout most of them on day 1 except for maybe
- Lessons from the Sky (depends if you follow a guide or not)
- Like Clockwork (will take 8 days to complete)
- Sanctum Sprinter (depends on your opponent’s level but you should come out first place in say 15 matches).
The ugly part is the skin as always are the same for plate medium and light.
Why plate user have always to enjoy new skin and medium light users have to adapt?
Skins
- Zenith weapon gallery (incomplete)
Dulfy, a question: is it me, or does the Zenith shortbow and staff’s animations change slightly when you use a skill? It looks like the green glow becomes somewhat orange.

they “charge” and spark, yes. pretty awesome.

shame. i mean, i understand why they don’t want you to have everything easily unlocked, but at the same time, it feels like you’ll never get everything unlocked because as you progress your achievement score, more rewards to choose will appear.
well something interesting to read meanwhile WvW is all about lag and a idiotic 2v1 weekend.
For every 500 achievement points do you gain more gold and more laurels than the previous 500 tier?
Edit: Nevermind, just saw the full guide. Apologies.

Yup, most noticeable in the shortbow, staff is a bit hard to see but is there. Dagger/pistol didn’t see it so much.
Thanks for the excellent preview, dulfy!
Thanks for the infos Dulfy. Appreciate the guides and vids.
