    Please take the time to open your map and show people the region and then the waypoints of where to go. This is good information and nicely consolidated, but for beginners at each stage we have to spend time looking up these locations and backing up to re-listen to where you said to go. So, thank you for your content. And, please take this critique into consideration.

      I've tried multiple times over the years to get back into GW2 after quitting a few months after launch. And every time I do I watch videos to try and catch up on some of the new stuff, get some tips/tricks, decide what I want to go for, etc... and every time I'm always DISsuaded from hopping back in because the videos all show hundreds of different currencies that interact in dozens of different ways that may or may not affect the lists upon lists upon lists of achievements and masteries, and then I see comments warning not to do certain things before doing OTHER things or you're wasting time and resources. Like godDAMN. For being the supposed best 'casual mmo' on the market GW2 certainly seems to require much more knowledge of its hilariously insane amount of intricate and interlaced systems compared to its contemporaries, which makes jumping in for the first time (or the first time in years) an incredibly daunting task for players.

    I'm a new player and have been following the wiki the past few days. I'm almost done but have put many hours into it this week. Let me say for other new players it's definitely a grind to get the Skyscale even with this Soto method. There are a lot of steps , resources , traveling all over Tyria and time gates. If you casually do this it'll take you quite some time. Anyway I say all this in comparison to other MMOs with flying mounts, it isn't an "easy process", it's just easier compared to the old GW methods. But it does make obtaining a Skyscale very rewarding

    This is why I haven't gone back to Guild Wars 2. I can't see myself playing without getting these mounts since they add so much to the game. but I refuse to do the song and dance over multiple days and all this busy work. I would have much preferred a straightforward quest chain with a story to get the mounts, or even buying the collection items with gems or something.

    • @spencerhall6052
      @spencerhall6052 10 днів тому +2

      Well, with this past week you are in a bit of luck. Previously there were effectively two classes of mounts. First, the ones that come through normal progression like the Raptor, Springer, Skimmer, and Jackal in Path of Fire. These provide some useful mobility, but generally have specific use cases that you switch around to use. Then you had your collection mounts that have mobility advantages over those. This included the Skyscale and Griffon. Less straightforward and more of a collection extravaganza.
      Well, with Janthir Wilds that came out last week, they took the Warclaw, a mount previously only used in WvW, and you are given it as part of the first story mission (Secrets of the Obscure kind of does this with the Skyscale, but locks it to only using it in the expansion, needing to follow this video to use it elsewhere. The Warclaw in this expansion is available everywhere once you unlock it the story). On top of that, the masteries to upgrade the Warclaw are very straightforward, and once you complete those masteries it easily becomes one of the most useful mounts in the game for moving around (these eventually allow you to negate fall damage while riding, do 4+ jumps that can provide you with either height or forward momentum, and improved endurance regen that allow you to use the jump and dash more times and more frequently) , providing good speed as well as vertical mobility.

    2:06 Is "Rising Spirits" necessary to ultimately secure the Skyscale? or is this just something that will help you but not required? That's 24 Mastery Points on top of having to do the other things to acquire the Skyscale!?
    A: You need "Rising Spirits" to ultimately obtain the Skyscale via this method. But it's one of the last things you can accomplish.
    i suppose this is still easier than the LWS4 version as with that you have to have completed the entire LWS4 (seemingly on a single character) and your not specifically told but you will need to have acquired all eight MP's in the Domainn of Vabbi and know that when your done with Gorrik in Kralk land you need to meet him in the Sun's Refuge (thankfully accessable via the Sunspear thing) in the room before the firepit. And then you get to do "Saving Skyscales" which your first stop you will want to make is the Domain of Vabbi. And for those reading my comment, thank you, if you see the "Grand Djin" event symbol but no NPC's, a player who has all 8 MP's needs to be there and participate in taking down ALL the enemy djin's there. If any respawn you have to kill those. Then hope no one actually activates the "Grand Djin" event because you need to talk to all four of them.
    Thank you for the info about the djinn's, but it would had been nice to know you had to activate each egg and where to go to activate them. The priestess in divinity's reach is the NPC with the speed buff icon over her head at the entrance, aside from that the other places you have to visit to activate each egg is; Dragonfall, Brisban wildlands, at the south end of Lorner's Pass, Frostgorge Sound, The Grove, And Domain of Vabbi at the south western HP. Other than the Djinn's i think that's all of them.
    That moment when you realize, it's confusing to know whether your doing the thing for the LWS4 version or the SoTo version...

      Yeah, absolutely, stuff like this needs to be tied to the main story. WoW did it far better by giving you the mount right away, and then you are free to upgrade it to 100% max talents in the first hour of having it... After that, you get to USE THE MECHANICS! In guild wars 2, it's like you have to spend ages working a real job just so you can get the game mechanics. It's nothing beyond a glorified grind. Truly hard grinds are always things that include clearing the absolute hardest content in the game. Running around like a headless chicken isn't exactly hard, nor is outright timegating, but it sure is annoying.

    If the growing pains locations Muk mentioned don't work for you, or you don't have map completion in those areas, below are some alternatives.
    For Jotun meat, I went to the Jotun camp in Timberline Falls, Shiverpeak Mountains
    For Ooze meat, I went to the ruins with the underground area full of oozes in Diessa Plateau, Ascalon
    For Treant meat, I went to the oakhearts in Grendarrin Fields (spelling might be wrong)
    For devour meat, any place in PoF area (can also get forged in some parts of PoF)
    For forged and Kryptis meats, i did a rift event and killed forged in the Marches, Archipelago
