Did you know you can consume a chromatic sap to gain 5 aether-rich sap which you can use to buy a chromatic sap that you can consume for 5 aether-rich sap allowing you to buy a chro...

Basically both VoE maps only have a single currency that's split between your bank and wallet

🤔 I noticed that there aren't many Sylvari castaways on Castora and with that information I can conclude most of them are being mistaken for driftwood by the magic surrounding the continent and just float back home

If I have to guess the Gnashblade "birthday" event will probably start next Tuesday and run for a whole week and there's going to be more to it than last year

You can buy the Homestead Racetrack Start Bundle from the race vendor which automatically adds 5 of each race track decorations to your homestead storage (holographic are excluded)

It's only 25 tokens cheaper than crafting these yourself but you save a lot of gold on other required materials

The Black Lion Trading Company in Lion's Arch recently got updated (it has a lot more NPC's) and they sealed the unused Asura gate behind a metal door

Gildwar Tree confirmed! Randomly stumbled into this Anet dev (looks like they're currently streaming for extra life)

Several people asked me about exporting the new API map tiles to "fix the wiki"

Like I said before I've stopped working on these so we'll just have to wait.
It looks like that after 8 years they finally fixed the #GuildWars2 API tiles. This means I will no longer be publishing these in the future unless things go wrong again.

It was a really fun project to work on but also took a lot of time and effort to maintain.

Some more #GuildWars2 homestead module fun:

- I have a homestead template with a tiny little house in it
- I have another template with just 3 pillars
- With just a few lines of code it makes copies of the house at the pillars creating a cozy little neighborhood!

I don't think the disguise spell Ludo puts on players at the start of VoE's story so you can infiltrate an Asuran lab is really going to work for my character...

I've managed to rebuild after sinking my previous homestead but I had to go smaller... I now have a #GuildWars2 homestead for ants and you can too!

More #GuildWars2 homestead template fun. I don't think my insurance is going to cover this 😅

I'm working on some modules that will make it easier for developers to create online homestead tools. After some math I can now move and rotate entire builds to anywhere I want!

Unlike the previous homestead you don't need to unlock the masteries to increase your building space in the new one

I've updated my post to contain links to things like mini pets, emotes etc but also items you can't obtain yet (like the full Seaside Scholar set)

I'm not going to list every new armor and weapon set but basically they've converted all (non-gemstore) staffs to spears

Conclusion: the upgraded skimmer is extremely fast! Just shaved off several seconds in two adventures without breaking a sweat

I could use a portal to Castora in the new homestead now that I've completed the story
