Guild Wars 2

You’re correct with the comment about the salvage kits. A crude salvage kit will only have a c. 5% chance at recovering the upgrade. Better kits will have a better chance all the way up to a Black Lion salvage kit which is 100%.

There’s been a couple of threads recently surmising what might be in the 2nd birthday.
With the inclusion of the birthday vendor in LA hopefully we’ll be getting some form of voucher or token to select our prezzie from a selection of gifts rather than getting 12 Queenie minis like last year!

Once you get to level 35 use the LFG tool to find a party doing Ascalonian Catacombs path 1. There is almost always someone selling path 1 completion for c. 1.5g. Once per day the dungeon rewards you c. 1.7g, 60 Tears and 70% experience to next level; as such for 2-3 mins waiting you will gain almost a full level with no cost.

I’m tracking that it’s the second birthday for GW2 in the next two weeks but have neither seen nor heard anything about it as yet.
Does anyone know what’s anticipated to happen and what birthday gifts are in the offering?

There is a bug in the southwest area of Black Earth Coalmine that makes characters stuck and unable to move. Due west of the vista, characters can fall through a floor into an un-escapable area. Due to proximity of mobs, characters cannot waypoint out of the area. I currently have my main character stuck in that location.
