it is real slow but it is possible if you got the sprocket generator from the festival that just ended. it will spit out 1 or 2 blade shards per day with the sprockets. when you get 50 sprockets take them over to the mystic forge and you can use them to make more shards. the 4 pieces for the pack plans can be bought on the trading post. if you have coins to spend you can speed things up by buying more sprockets on the trading post. if you dont have the generator the only place to get blade shards is in the “not so secret jumping puzzle”.
thanks, i realise i need 925 blade shards to finish it… is it gonna be very slow if i have to acquire it from the JP?
The story of S1 is about Scarlet, a sylvari that wants to break free from the Pale tree. She is quite intelligent and scientifically curious. She explored a lot of different disciplines until finally she met a asuran genius called Omadd.
Omadd built a machine which scarlet used to peer into the eternal alchemy itself. Scarlet emerge mad / possessed (we’re not entirely sure perhaps a bit of both). She killed Omadd and embarked on a plan to free all sylvari from the pale tree’s influence.
She started by making alliances first with the dredge and flame legion. Then with pirates and the inquest and finally with the nightmare court and the krait. She used these alliances to cause chaos around tyria and distract people from her true motive which was finding the right layline nexus.
Ultimately she locates the layline nexus right under lion’s arch. She launches a full on assault using all her resources on Lion’s arch and she also used a massive airship she created called breachmaker to drill her way to the layline nexus. We fought back and after a big effort manage to infiltrate the breach maker and kill scarlet but not before the breach maker disrupted the layline. Turns out Scarlet’s plan wasnt to harvest / use the power of the layline but just to disrupt it as this disruption cause an elder dragon to wake.
Thats the story in a nutshell. There were other side stories and lots of detail and character development that I left out of course more details can be found in the link I provided.
Sure, but as others have said before it makes it so that casual players don’t get left behind those that have loads more time.
It’s exactly the opposite. People with less time, can not do the stuff they want to do, at the occasion that they actually have the time to do it. It hits people who can not log in everyday harder than people who can..
