I think the Skritt in the Lion’s Arch Undermarket trade all festival currencies. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Undermarket

It would be a lot of fun to go off the current map, far west to the wetland: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tyria_(world)#/media/File%3ATyria_world_fan_map.jpg but most likely it’ll be isles of Janthir. I just don’t want to break up a fight between any remaining frost legion and white mantle.

It’s been too long since I’ve seen anything I even remotely want from Black Lion chests, I really hope plushies are done now.

Posts like this are a growing waste of time, moreso than unskippable dialog. You don’t like the story, don’t play it, but don’t expect to have rewards handed to you. That’s lazy gaming. The way ANY game is designed, hell the way life is designed you have to do things, more often than not things you don’t want to do, to make progress. Traveling? You have to have transport - walk, bike, bus, raptor, or waypoint, nobody rides for free. Food? Gotta pay for it, make it, or pick up someone’s cake off the sidewalk. Point is you have to play the game to get the rewards and progress. If it’s not your thing, send me your stuff when you quit.

My basic speculation is that it will require beating all convergence bosses, as well as events tied to whichever variant you’re working on, but we don’t know what those are yet. It was started it won’t be a 1:1 correlation like the gen3 variants, maybe we’ll see something like a Kryptis/Astral/Arcane aura. I do expect a moderate grind and a heavy currency and material sink.

I thought lanterns were for ‘repeating’ map completion, and initial exploration gave the gift of Skywatch or Amnytas; seems this should function the same but I won’t be able to test that myself until later. I won’t be a fan of having to basically complete the map twice for 1 gift.

I wish I could put a confused emoji on the gem store itself for this one…just doesn’t seem worth it. And like lazy gaming. 🤷 I’d say more, but it’s…also not worth it

I'm guessing Lyhr will figure out the new material when he gets to travel there, or at least when there's a regular portal for us to travel to/from the Wizard's Tower. So maybe when Nayos is a complete map? Perhaps the (Under Construction) portal will take us to the Astral Ward camp, or a place we haven't seen yet, beyond Heitor. In any case, glad I decided to grind that meta before the nerf.😅

This is the opposite of older systems, even waaaay back when there were weekly/monthly achievements (that are now part of the AP cap) they were reset after festivals which made everyone scramble for the points and rewards. I was hoping for the refresh to happen just for extra points, as I did complete the new weekly and daily, but not a huge deal since it adds up so fast. I just hope they’ll keep it consistent so it works the same after the next refresh, which I think is right after the lunar new year event. 🤞

Hope we can get in before reset!

#32 is bugged for me, no markers show up at all. Been trying for a couple days.

I'm requesting: -the exclusive /sipcoffee emote in the Gemstore or Wizard's Vault -the Black Lion Chest Advanced Leather Rack to be available via Statuettes -an update to the Black Lion Hunters Board to include SoTO materials (static, stardust, essences, ???) -a new set of Kryptis gathering tools that have a chance of rewarding SoTO materials (common would be static, stardust, and the next map's unknown material; rare would be essences)

I enjoyed finally getting to choose a dye I didn't have, the rest just added up nicely with what I already have; won't say no to extra karma or other free boosts. If we end up getting account titles back for the 12th birthday, my guess for it will be 'Entitled' 🤣

This would really only work if HPs in core Tyria worked like the repeatable ones in Hot or PoF; you don't get the points twice, just another reward for repeating it. Not sure if they'll spend the time to change it, but to repeat map completion on a character, you'd have to include HPs, those are just over 10% of the explorable map. My guess is they'd want you to buy a character slot or reroll a toon before making that big of a change to the whole game.

The thing that just doesn't make sense about this is that all but 5 things to craft motivations are already in material storage; dust, bones, blood, and ectos are already stored, research notes are in the wallet. I understand not putting the common/uncommon motivations in material storage or the wallet, they're needed at the rift events, and to be able to buy/sell them; the essences of Despair, Greed, and Triumph are account bound, there's no reason to not have a storage space for them. I'm looking forward to the fix, and hoping it will be a step forward and not sideways.
