Returning Players - Guild Wars 2 End of Dragons

There are some minor spoilers ahead!

Fishing & Skiffs

Fishing is a mini-game. To catch the fish you need to fill up the gold bar. To do this you have to keep the green bar inside the brown & gold bar.
- The more fishing power you have the easier the fish are to catch!
Skiffs allow you to carry multiple players, Fish easily, and with a mastery gain bonus fishing power!
- They work a lot like skimmers, but have multiple speed options, a speed boost, & a way to attack underwater mobs. You will need to level the masteries to get these things!

The new maps are Seitung Province, New Kaineng City, Echovald Wilds, & Dragons End. Each map has a meta event and Echovald has two.
- Each map has its own unique beauty and they did a really good job of translating the maps from gw1 to gw2. People who played guild wars 1 will enjoy this expansion. There are tons of books lying around, achievements, and parts of the story that illude to guild wars 1 & the time that passed between the games.

Turtle mount is a two-player mount, that can attack!
- Both the driver and passenger can attack. The driver has a ground slam attack & the passenger has a long-ranged cannon attack!
  - Note: It takes a lot of fall damage. Be careful around cliffs!

These legendaries are unique because they can be attuned to different dragons. This changes their appearances without having to make a new legendary.

This is a really unique idea for the legendaries, and it offers the players a lot of customization!

Masteries make life easier & this is true for the new masteries. Fishing, Skiff Piloting, & Arborstone Revitalization are especially important.
- Fishing masteries give fishing bonuses, new lures & other items, increased fishing range, etc...
- Skiff masteries give speed boosts, fishing bonuses, an attack, etc...
- Arborstone Revitalization gives crafting stations, vendors, bank, access to Antique Summoning Stones, resting xp, etc...
These are some of the masteries, jade bot and turtle mount have awesome masteries too!

They went all out on the story. It is longer than the other xpac stories. It pulls at your heartstrings, takes you to beautiful places, brings back old friends, and shows you the end of dragons. I highly recommend checking it out!
