What We Did This Week

Sardu: Leveled my necromancer to 80, tailoring to 400, and tinkered with a giant fleet of alts

Celeste: Got my ranger to 63, Ascalon Catacombs, 150ish on jeweler and leatherworker. Ele up to 18 and cooking like crazy.

Chris:
•My warrior has now reached level 38, and I’ve having a blast! Working through tier 1 was a pain for weaponsmith, but we’ll talk about that later in the show.
•Create one character for each race so that I could experience the stories. Going to have to buy another character slot so that I can make my Asura thief
•OMG I SCARED AWAY A DRAGON

Ask An Asuran

Crafting Order to maximize experience and minimize waste – http://i.imgur.com/wCw82.jpg as an example. You’ll want to have all your raw materials before you get started crafting to be sure that you’ll minimize “wasting experience” or even losing experience based on the order that you craft in. Refine everything into a usable ingredient. Just enough so that the basic component creations are still orange/yellow. Then make your components. Go to discovery and make one item ONCE. Then move on to another item. Then make refined components/insignias when they unlock. Rinse. Repeat.

Bonus Question:
RT by KenfromChicago:  @John_J_Ryan The Lovely Wife playing#GuildWars2 just now: “How do I un-pig?” Always a valid question. < @gwreporter says: Ask an Asuran.
