Summary: Celeste and Allona talk more about GW2 elite specialization reveals, include this Thursday's Necromancer Elite: the Reaper! They continue to have brief thoughts about previous Elites … or not so brief in the case of the Chronomancer (coughcoughAllonacough). Audio Version What We Did This Week Allona Forgot to keep track of everything I did this week … so this is going from memory Rank 37 in sPvP Got weaponsmith to 500! Just armorsmithing left to go… and I ran out of bloodstone dust. Fractals and fungeons! I was late and they went long, but always fun! Stuff with Celeste! A few times … this almost never happens! Guild missions with Maven … third in the guild rush! More! Probably ... Celeste More Silverwastes with my Ranger, never did get a Portal. Sigh. Cultivated vine is done for Mawdrey. Getting there! ((Thanks to Blaise/IrishDog for sending me some spare plant food and foxfire. Allona and Hunter too for making some food for me)) Did a round of dailies, Tequatl, Balthazar with Hunter and Allona Magical PvP with Allona and Khaladen Ran around Orr for Foxfire and for zone completion on my ele, did a lot of temples and stuff Sold Frenzy and am now working on getting candy corn bags (and 1 invisible per) on all my alts.
