ngl luigi death stare is going to be my favorite meme of 2014
Ah yes… the gw2 mounts… handsome scale boy, bouncy boy, pancake boy, edgy boy and €xp€n$iv€ boy
I say extremely specific as in tailor-made to the particular problem of my second elementalist sitting pretty at level 40 for way too long, and wanting to finish leveling her fast so I can try weaver. I was pretty entertained by this style of grinding though lol so I’m sharing just for kicks
1. have a bunch of these hoarded:

you’re selecting the first(i think?) one on the list, an experience booster that lasts 20 minutes. and grab a bunch of some cheap food thing that also offers +10% exp from kills. I got these at meatoberfest in diessa plateau
2. have some beginner zones uncompleted… areas to explore, hearts to complete.
3. get your armor as good and up to date as possible, and spec for power as much as you can. because the point of this is you HAVE TO KILL FAST, AND BULLETS TOO SLOW! I was on ele for this so I had no problem but do whatever you can to be able to kill things as fast as possible for your level. I just geared myself with a set of my race’s cultural gear when I started at lv 40, and again at 60, and that was enough to get me all the way through.
4. put on the mighty switch force OST. ~this step is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL
5. pick a beginner zone, put on your exp booster and your nourishment meal and start combing across the countryside. the exp booster works up a stack of +10% exp every time you kill an enemy. it caps at 10, meaning your exp is doubled, so kill everything in sight to max out that stack. you kill one thing, you have 60 seconds to find and kill another thing to keep the boost maintained. focus on yellow-named creatures because they tend to rack up the most bonus exp. but anywhere sort of out of the way or places where people are unlikely to stop and cull the enemies is good; creatures gain bonus exp the longer they’re out in the world. also for this reason, if the game wants you to change maps, avoid it as long as possible; it resets your boost stack, and enemies in new maps haven’t had a chance to rack up bonus exp so it’ll slow you down considerably.
anyway work your way through RAZING THE COUNTRYSIDE in the general direction of some hearts, and new unexplored areas to get more easy exp. no need to linger in one area after you decimate all its wildlife once. If you happen upon hearts that require you to kill things to complete, do those, as well as any events you come across with lots of things to kill. Remember you need to kill something at least every 60 seconds to keep your boost. but really, the more the better. I eventually started hoping on my raptor mount and using its attack to enter combat, and for some enemies this just killed them outright in one hit and I was able to move on immediately. combine this with some music to get you pumped and you will soon slip into the zone….. the Murder zone.
I ended up leveling up once about every 15 minutes, which is about once per experience booster. your additional food only lasts 10min so remember to reapply it. I ended up making lv 80 in 2 nights of staying up late (I wasn’t gonna sleep anyway tbh)
here’s last night with timestamps:

advantages: requires little conscious thought! requires no cooperation or interaction with strangers! works at any time of day! yet another excuse to listen to the mighty switch force ost on repeat for 4 hours!
if the halloween event were out I probably would have been doing this in the labyrinth and it would have gone even faster, but. yeah
I hope you don’t mind me piggybacking on to this OP, but it’s also pretty cheap & fast to level from 73-80 via cooking!
Using the “all hearts” guide here, it costs less than 3 gold to get max cooking (which provides 7 levels), but can cost much less depending on your material stores. You can plug in your API key (generate one here, make sure “inventories” is checked) and the guide will show what you already have and what you need, too. And you can make back some of what you spend by selling the food you’ve crafted on the TP.
I always use cooking to boost my characters that last little bit, and I highly recommend it!
“I’m very annoyed that the players connection to Aurene is never elaborated on, even though it is a canon part of the story and even more so since Aurene is very important for the story.”

I needed to figure out how to draw Aurene for reasons.
Other NPCs: *help out in battle, give important story info, sell cool things, etc*
Me: Okay.
Aurene:
Me: You are my precious princess, the best thing that ever has and ever will exist, the pinnacle of all that is good in the world, my fat lumpy adorable perfect dragon child.
Some of the dialogue between the (sylvari) revenant and the channeled spirits
After seeing this post I had to hear some of these for myself. Mallyx was surprisingly chatty but I couldn’t get more than one or two lines from the rest of them, and I know for a fact some of the responses are race-specific, so this is definitely not a comprehensive collection.
Transcript:
Glint: Everything has unfolded as I knew it would.
PC: Sadly, the world remains a dangerous place.
-
Shiro: The emperor feared my great power… Do you?
PC: You can’t harm me, I’m protected.
Shiro: What has become of the empire in my absence?
PC: They say Cantha expelled all non-humans and closed its borders long ago. After Orr rose it was isolated further.
-
Ventari: Sometimes I miss the simple joy of galloping across an open field.
PC: One day soon we’ll find on, and we’ll run as fast and as far as we can.
Ventari: Is it true that my words have inspired an entire race?
PC: Absolutely. The Pale Tree raised us according to the standards you set.
-
Jalis: Strong allies make for quicker victories.
PC: We do make a good team, don’t we?
Jalis: Impressive! You fight like a natural-born dwarf.
PC: I learned from the best.
-
Mallyx: Demons of torment will hound you to the death, and beyond.
PC: Enough of your threats! I’m not impressed.
Mallyx: I shall consume you from within.
PC: Only if I’m already dead.
Mallyx: You can’t hold me forever.
PC: But I can hold you as long as I need to.
