Last Friday evening I finally got my Skyscale mount in Guild Wars 2. I don’t know how many hours it took, but it was a lot of time, especially as I had to finish Living World Season 4 first, and unlike a reasonable person who is mid-step 3 of 6 and would just continue there, I started fresh on a different character.
A “fun” detour was also noticing that the Roller Beetly might be needed (or handy) for getting some of the Skyscale stuff, so that was also done mid-Skyscale grind. Anyway, now only the Griffon is missing as far as mounts go (and the Skiff from EoD…), it’s just a few PoF mastery points now to finish the Mastery track for the Skyscale.
In terms of total “story completion” it still looks a bit grim:
- Base game personal story: 3x, plus 3x stopped in the last chapter
- Living World Season 1: 1x Step 1 of 5 done
- Living World Season 2: 1x Step 3 of 8 done
- Heart of Thorns: 1x done, 1x stopped at 14/16
- Living World Season 3: 1x done
- Path of Fire: 1x done
- Living World Season 4: 1x done, 1x 50% done
- Icebrood Saga: nope
- End of Dragons: 2x the intro to discover the new zone, aka: basically nope
- Secrets of the Obscure: 1x Step 10 of 17 done, so 50%, yay
- Janthir Wilds: nope
- Visions of Eternity: nope
Yeah, that will also take a while I guess. But I’m not playing this game only for the story. It’s fun enough to log in, do the dailes, work on the weeklies, grab some stuff, do some achievements – and in the midst of that, also progress the story. LWS2 is actively being worked on, but then.. no clue. I’m inclined to at least skip the Icebrood Saga, but maybe not End of Dragons, because of the Skiff and the Jadebot. We’ll see.
