GW2 general update
Still alive.
So I had sort of had a bet with myself regarding whether I would hit the Golden achievement (200k gold in bank, comes with the title option "Golden") first or whether I would fully gear up my characters first. By fully gear up I mean full exotic armor/trinkets and one weapon of each type that the class can wield. Method of gaining gold and gear is via dungeons and dungeon tokens respectively. With the occasional rare drop from dungeoning, I would salvage for ectos and then then use that to craft the jewelry items.
I hit Golden this weekend.
My characters are mostly all fully prepped, but still got a few pieces missing. Mainly rings for all 3 of them, a few earrings here and there, the underwater weapons, and a few other weapon pieces that I haven't gotten around to. Also almost all my sigils are major instead of superior.
Yes, doing dungeons is lucrative. *shrug*
My ranger is now decked out in TA gear that is designed to work with the sylvari racial design. She looks like a bright tropical bird. I bought her the "Bow of the Pale Stag" shortbow for both stat and RP purposes (since her personal story started with the White Stag arc), and she's just gotten her ascended necklace "Bud of the Pale Tree". She is oh so pretty. ^_^
My ele hasn't changed her looks. She did get the first ascended amulet "The Golden Lotus"; not the best stats, but the more useful of the two RP appropriate ones. Also gilded infusion for extra money in dungeons. Her daggers are just a red tinted version of the glyphic ones; didn't bother looking for a better skin since with her huge sleeves, most smaller size daggers aren't even visible. She's still using the AC staff that was the first piece of dungeon weapons I got. I thought about transmuting it with the new SAB skin, but in the ended decided against it after seeing how translucent the skin is in the daytime. Will save it for my memser.
Yes. I have a new level 11 mesmer (male sylvari). My charr thief has passed level 50. My asura engineer unfortunately is still languishing at level 30. :-/

Each path gives about 50-75 silver at least, along with other high value stuff like rare drops (salvage for ectos) and lodestones (sell or keep).
Plus since I'm getting gear from the dungeon tokens, I don't have to spend the gold rewards I get for anything, so that all goes directly to bank.
It adds up quickly.
