Picking Out Mount Skins

Yesterday ArenaNet announced a new promotion for GW2 where for 2400 gems you’d get a little bundle of goodies each Tuesday for four weeks. Each week you DIDN’T buy the bundle, the cost would go up slightly. The first bundle included a dye pack, a mini pack, and two mount skins to choose from.

Now I only have two mounts unlocked so far (the raptor and the springer) but I have high hopes of getting the rest unlocked over time. I absolutely could not pass up on the Starshell skin for the roller beetle mount even though I am no where near getting it.

I also picked out a skin for the skimmer mount, that’s one I should be able to get fairly soon.

What can I say, to quote Pixel One – “GW2 end game is Fashion Wars” – she’s completely right, and I love it.

GW2Efficiency

This one little change to a quality of life thing has become so very handy and I couldn’t be more tickled that they added it. GW2efficiency is a site that allows you to track all sorts of useful information about your characters across your account thanks to the GW2 API key. Now I have a reminder about doing daily crafting and world bosses, for those days where I am not sure what I want to get done.

If you’re not using the site, I HIGHLY recommend checking them out. It’s completely worth it.

Living World Season 2

I’m slowly working my way through living world season 2 – even though I’ve already completed HoT. I decided it would be better to continue as much in order as I can (I’ve also done some of season 3, and some of PoF, but I have not completed either of them). In some ways I’m happy I’ve completed HoT before doing season 2 because I understand what’s going on a lot better and I can see where it’s leading. Of course that also means there isn’t much of a surprise.

I’m pretty close to reaching 3,500 achievement points and obtaining a new reward. I’m excited about that! I’ve been working on daily quests, along with doing the living world, and some map completion. I’m only 64% of the way through map completion so there’s still TONS to do. I’d also like to start working towards a legendary claymore, but I heard someone talking about how a new one will be released before too long (next month?) so I may hold off.

What is everyone else up to in game? Let me know in comments!
