HATORI HANZO.9562

I caught a fish today before work and played a round golf after work. Now I am waiting for the boss at 8:00 pm local time for Tequila the Sunset....or something like that.

I jumped on the first raptor and fell of tying to review the first village....this is going well. Oh I should have mentioned....I don't ever dodge...I just stand in front of my opponent and mash the 1 button as many times as I can.

As usual...Herald of Balthazar takes one swing and I am dead....getting off to a great start.

I tried this...jump on the air ship and head to a cave....killed 8 times in the first instance....then I gave up...I will try again.

Small but significant update....I figured out how to use the boss/event thingamabob. I have hit two in a row...progress Camille. Just sucks walking to each one....still working on the mount deal. I'll pay whatever I have to pay,

How about all of my other questions that don't deal with the Wiki,,,,

I think you detailed something that means more time on the wiki than playing the game. Flowing link here which take you to link there which details this item here and then sends you to a link there....

So here are just a few things….. I guess my sarcasm on “translate” was lost on the last few responders…I speak only English and do not understand any other language. What I meant by “translate” is even though the wiki is written in English I still have no idea what some of the words mean or concepts put forth. In other words at some points it reads like stereo instructions. there will be an example of that below. Question #1 What will make me better…no strike that…what will make me tougher…no strike that …what will make me last longer and better able to deal with the things that will eventually kill me. I can’t tell if it’s my spells that will provide bigger improvement or my weapons or my armor or my sigils or my runes or my infusions or my tombs or my buffs or my signets or my boons or my mods or anything like that. I see weapons for sale on the exchange for 1200 gold that have the same attack values as what I currently own. In PvP I can attack multiple multiple multiple times only to still have my opponent remain upright and yet if I stand there and do nothing two or three whacks and I am stone dead. Why by the Tunic of the Bindbreaker of the Cavalier for 800 gold when it only gives me 29 more defense than I have now? Lets say I want to upgrade my sword…it’s a little worn been though a lot…lets try something shiny and new….why pay 2,400 gold for Bolt when it has the same weapon strength as the Kodan Sword I currently own? And what good does the 4,500 gold me for a Deathly Mantle skin? As for my inventory….I have been hanging on to a level 80 upgrade that I got when I purchased the upgrade pack and everybody say don’t use it..so what the point of having it? Same for transmutation charges…I read somewhere not to use them…ok so I have amassed 21 one of them in my bank. The garbage related to the Super Adventure…that was a waste so what do I do with that crap? Please forgive me if crap is not PC but it’s the best I could come up with. Since I am at level 80 Tombs of knowledge are worthless since I have no idea what to do with Sprit shards. I show up to the big purple fire in Lions arch and I never have a combination of stuff that will make a pile of better stuff that I have no idea if it will benefit me…but alas the wiki…yes the wiki…I have done my HS and my college and gotten my graduate degree…not really interest in having to do homework to play a fantasy game that should help reduce stress. A feast of mushroom pizza…what do I do with that…I am on Keto!! Ley infused loadstone…lets go to the Wiki… This stone is attuned to ley-line energy. Carrying it will indicate when a Ley Line Anomaly appears. Double-click to get a reading. — In-game description Wow!!! So clear this is where the translate part of my humor comes in…yes that is English but I have narry a clue as to its meaning… The Warclaw…a book with missing pages ,,,how fitting Ineffable Orchiculacum Plated Inscriptions. Oh now that sounds it would be helpful…I can make em but I have no clue how to use them or where I should use them effective to help me survive longer in a ballet than my current average of 3.267 seconds. Scarlet’s War…did the very first thing and survived and now it’s done and the next thing on the list is locked but I can unlock it for 200 gems? Huh? Zentih Kris skin…its in my bank but I am afraid to use it and waste it And don’t even get me started on the Daily strike missions…who or what is the Fraenir of Jormag and how do I even contemplate taking on that undertaking without getting my head handed to me. Masteries…another topic loaded with clarity. So I am moving up the next level of Noblesse Oblige…I have no idea what events or undertakings increase that skill or training. It looks like it will take five mastery points when I do compete the training but alas and alack I only have 3 points available Do I craft my way to better gear …do I buy it…do I get it in drops I would love to know where in the wiki the big boss events are so that I would participate more in those. Somebody did tell me that I can seek the help of others to participate in my personal story by using LFG…but when I look at LFG it seems pretty dead an unused so I am not sure what benefit posting that I may need help would be in a place that isn’t seen by many people? Thoughts. This doth conclude just some of the issue I am having in trying to improve myself in the world of Clan Wars 2…the torture of Bob Ross Pubey Fro.

I will come up with a more formulated response when I get home from my round of golf today and can contemplate these responses over a nice double bourbon. Yes I would love to know when bosses appear and when other are there to join in...I have done it three or four times in the months I have been playing and they have all been by accident as I stumbled upon them. I just cant keep track of sigils, ascendant, rare, epic, upgrade slots, runes tombs, and all the this and that and still have no clue if what I am using is even best for what I can't do. I do not plan to make this my life's works as there is much to behold out my front door but even in the WvW I walk around for ten minuets....cross a different colored border, get smoked and then is back to a way point that is on the other side of the map....very frustrating. And maybe I do complain a bit and maybe grandpas in their late 50's aren't a huge market for this game and I get that.

I am to old for discord...tried it and its very annoying. As for the recipe it was supposed to be sold...according to the wiki by some Karma vendor in Rata Sun or something like that and when I finally found the vendor the recipe was not listed ...now I get the impression that I had to do something else in order to make it available but it was not to be. Yeah the wiki is great but half of the stuff doesn't make any sense and I don't have time to translate it all. It's written in English but I am not going to waste what little time I have left on this earth as I am already on the back nine of life researching how to do stuff beyond just mashing buttons and dying at every inopportune moment;

I am going with the offended snowflake route.

I know have an Elementalist and Ranger and a Thief up to level 80...and today for some reason Arena Net made me change the name of my thief....they didn't like Bob Ross Pubey Fro as a name...WTF?

As an update to my situation...I am stuck on the last part of my Story (Victory or Death). I can't even get to the dungeon without getting smoked each and every time I leave the waypoint. Now I am trying one of the fractal things and they are just a perpetual never-ending butt kicking with 18 sperate restarts from a checkpoint the last time I tried. WvW provides no direction at all...another smokefest. Just step outside your border and kiss it all goodbye. Can't find the recipes I need to make things that provide experience as the vendor in the wiki who claims to sell them doesn't have it for some reason. Getting sick of walking everywhere and have not a clue about how to get a mount. but other than that it's all good....just hang around the level 1 to 15 areas and help the farmers...great life.

This is just so effin confusing

If you have trouble to fill out what you have, then I would recommend https://gw2efficiency.com/ and link your API key (that you create and copy from your GW2 account). When you have created API key and added to gw2efficeny it will then be able to read the information stored from you account and present it in your browser from this site. I think I just did that now I have this....oh wait I can't post a picture for whatever reason..
