But also didn’t win. :) I’M AN AIRPLANE! Celeste Traded all my candy corn for Halloween pails, more space = more money in the long term Rinse, Repeat: World Boss, Dailies, Laurels and Money to Tier 6 mats While this was happening I managed to finish my achievements under the Bosses category Spring Banking! I spent a fair chunk of time cleaning my bank and making sure that all my little mules were in order. Filled in all the spoons for the collection (aside from the rare ones) I WAS ALSO AN AIRPLANE Livestreaming Wednesday’s at 9:30pm EST/6:30pm PST at twitch.tv/mmoreporter.

Report from Lion’s Arch Precursor crafting https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/a-legendary-journey/ http://www.guildmag.com/forging-legend-less-random/ Precursor Acquisition “In Heart of Thorns, you’ll have access to a special Mastery track for unlocking precursor crafting. Mastery tracks are a new progression system being introduced in the expansion that will allow you to put experience earned toward training specific abilities once you hit level 80.” GuildMag - “it’s worth noting that it’s been confirmed that the two different Mastery zones (Pact Tyria and Heart of Maguuma) will have separate pools for points, so you won’t have to make the tough choice between legendary crafting and gliding.” “the first three tiers are dedicated to guiding you through the three tiers required to craft the first set of precursors that were introduced with the original release of Guild Wars 2. Completing the first tier allows you to unlock the start of a journey to acquire any of these original-release precursors by visiting the Mastery vendor and choosing which precursor you want to work on first.” C: Mastery vendor? Is this the equivalent of a traits trainer for post 80? “Each legendary weapon has two main themes that will be represented in the precursor journey. The first tier of a precursor journey starts with a collection built around one of these themes.“ Example is The Moot - (first of all the fact that these collections are based on the legendary weapon and components coming together in a more logical way is awesome) A norn celebration Hunting prowess and collecting trophies “By completing this [first] collection, you’ll unlock a recipe to craft the first iteration of your precursor—a nontradable exotic weapon with a distressed version of the existing precursor skin.” ex: http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=35900 The 2nd Tier - “You’ll need to barter for knowledge, seek out great minds and convince them to teach you their tricks, and prove your ability at the crafting workbench.“ “Completing this collection unlocks a recipe to do just that, resulting in another nontradable exotic weapon with the existing precursor skin.” The final tier is about making sure that the precursor is true to its theme, for the moot that’s about partying. “This final collection unlocks the recipe to craft the polished final iteration of the precursor. For all of our existing precursors, this is a tradable exotic weapon, but they will all be updated to use new skins that look much like the legendary weapons they’ll one day become.“ Updating skins for existing precursors to be more awesome
