LWS 2 episodes

I am not a fan of the GW 2 story. Living world seasons' story I endure the way a sick patient endures unpleasant treatment. However, it cannot be denied that the LW episodes provide many goodies to the player and for this reason I'm willing to buy some of them.

Don't want the whole package though. Out of all the episodes in LWS 2 which one or combination of them offers the most benefits for the gems spent? Do I need all of them in order to get the luminescent armor? https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Luminescent_arm

No, you don't... You pretty much only need the living story for the achievements that reward the ascended items you need to complete the collection (iirc).Just look at the ascended trinkets you need for each piece, and where to get them.

For Luminecent, you'll need at least the last four episodes, as the reward for getting all story achievements in the respective episode awards a trinket that's part of the collections. Look through them on the wiki - I'm not sure if more than 5-8 are needed.

Well it could have been like living world season 1 and you wouldent be able to play it at all.Much rather have the system we have now bud.
