Guild Wars 2

I have a usual circuit of jumping puzzles I feel are easy for Empyreal Fragments. (easy as in I did all the puzzles for the achievements and these were quick/didn’t make me pull my hair out) Just happy accident that I’ll get the 12 jumping puzzles too. My usual circuit consists of:

Caledon Forest

• Morgan’s Leap (Usually have to help complete Brugh’s events first, so I start here.)
• Dark Reverie (You can only get to it by doing Morgan’s Leap. I usually just take an extra couple seconds to range the annoying plants on my way through.)
• Spekk’s Lab (I don’t normally like timed stuff, but I really like this one.)

Kessex Hills

• Collapsed Observatory (Super quick once you know what to do.)

Harathi Hinterlands

• Fawcett’s Bounty (Goonies never say die!)

Lion’s Arch

• Wyandt’s Revenge (My first JP! ^.^)
• Urmaug’s Secret (Super quick once you know what to do.)

Snowden Drifts

• King Jalis’s Refuge (Super quick once you know what to do.)

Dredgehaunt Cliffs

• Tribulation Rift Scaffolding (Another one I really like, maybe because it feels challenging but not frustrating?)
• Tribulation Rift Caverns (I’m already up here, why not? Pretty easy once you know where to go.)

Diessa Plateau

• Grendich Gamble (Rich Silver Vein for Daily Gatherer, Pretty easy.)
• Wall Breach Blitz (Really like this one too. Lot’s of jumping!)
• Crimson Plateau (It’s right next to the end of Wall Breach Blitz and super easy once you know where to go.)

Troll’s End frustrates me so much, guess it’s the camera angle. It’s not that hard, but I always get snagged. If someone’s porting it, I’ll get it but I usually pass. I used to do Vizier’s Tower as part of the Monthly circuit but stopped after focusing on Ascended gear. The event is usually triggered by the time I get there so no Fragments for me =(. I really like that one to. I will do Shaman’s Rookery if I’m on my thief since I can shadow step and run past all the ravens, leopards and bears (oh my). I was thinking about getting some practice on Pig Iron Quarry and Under New Management so I can add them to the rotation. I had also forgot about Spelunker’s Delve, may give that one another go.

All my characters are descendants in some way from my GW1 characters of the same primary profession. Non-human characters handle this in different ways: my two Sylvari took their names from seeing their “descendant’s” exploits in the dream, my Charr was orphaned and adopted by the descendants of another character (think Worf from TNG) and my Asuran was enthralled by another GW1 character’s exploits and took a more “Asuran” version of his first name. Most others inherited the surname of the GW1 character.

I only did one odd combo, a Sylvari Necromancer. I loved the idea of a being that is the living embodiment of life dabbling in ways of death. After that it was “makes sense” combos. Charr Warrior, Sylvari Ranger, Asuran Elementalist (more for because I loved Brain… I mean Vekk in Eye of the North). Probably make a Charr engineer because I loved the Charr personal story. I felt important throughout the whole thing, and the sire chapter hit me right in the feels.

All those rotting heads could draw in larger predators! o_0

In GW1, she was drawn to the area due to the abundance of Griffon corpses from over farming outside Augury Rock in the Crystal Desert. There are a lot of drakes in the river near that hill in Queensdale…

…or it could just be a silly nod to the champion train from the devs. Yes, nothing sinister I’m sure. Sleep tight… 0_0

From the first paragraph of:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/december-10-2013/

Starting December 10, 2013
The nights may be growing longer and colder, but Lion’s Arch is merrier than ever before! Wintersday is returning to Tyria, along with everyone’s favorite toymaking inventor – Tixx! Celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of the next in this six-week winter festival!

Starting with the December 10th week, we add 6 weeks. Since Tuesday is when Anet usually schedules the big updates we can look at the Tuesday that would follows the 6th week. It looks like that is January 21st

It could end on the Friday of 6th week (Jan 17th), but the Living Stories seem to pass the torch on release days.

Talk to the Lionguards who are standing in their place. The same thing happened to my fiancé.
