If you could choose any GW2 music to play in your homestead / home instance, what would it be?

Ah yes, commander tag up during a champ enemy fight and toddler starts pressing my keys and making me run all over the place and do random skills.

Very professional commander acting normal, nothing to see there.

A few tips on home decor

alright so I've been playing around with the decoration system, its whole lot of fun and I think I have some tips to help you customize your hideaway.

1: Making a forest

so, I'm sure many of you want some trees around your crib, but there is unfortunately a dearth of vegetation decorations that aren't in pots. However, what you can do is use the move feature to drag the pot below ground, out of sight and out of mind

so you go from this, to this!

secondly, the resize feature is very powerful, so don't be afraid to ramp up the size to get some truly majestic trees.

(view of my in progress forest)

2: Maximizing the useful decoration count

so if you've checked the decoration cap of your new house, you may have noticed that a massive 30% of your total decorations are already gone! Well, near as I can tell a bunch of the decorations are being taken up by the fields of grass around your house.

Activate x-ray mode in the removal feature and you'll see em all, so if you're starting to chafe against the limit, maybe you can sacrifice some of the long fields around your base.

I still get a lot of questions in my squads about quickly maxing mastery EXP, so one thing a lot of folks don't know about is this buff - my go-to, never leave home without it EXP and MF boost.

You get this from completing the Training Grounds heart in Seitung Province and it takes less than 5 minutes. The boost is good for all sources, not just kills, so it adds up quickly. It also lasts for 6 hours.

Don’t you know? I’m your (less cool) doppelgänger

idk what algorithm they use to change this bc its sometimes a random assortment of tumblrs not in this fandom / i dont follow. i dont even know if it's based on WHO is looking at ur account vs something everyone sees

but no matter what the bottom three spots look like, dana (@resonatingfern) is permanently #1 on my list every time i look at it dkjfjsg

[resonatingfern]

Don’t play for nearly three years

Come back and immediately starting making the legendary I was apparently hoarding mats for before I stopped

Anyway I’m back to living in heart of thorns maps I guess 🥰

Nettle's Diary: Excerpt, written on the back cover

I have finally returned to the Jungle where it all fell apart.

A different person stands here today than did those long years ago. Someone who has suffered, for certain. But someone who has also learned to live despite that. Someone who has grown, slowly, but surely.

I will not lie and say this is not difficult. So many things are. But isn't that what I have spent the years coming to terms with? I can do difficult things.

Perhaps I will write more on this. In a different journal, as this one holds too many painful memories. I will start fresh, and fill new pages with this chapter of my life.

One that, while still challenging, holds so much more hope.

There is nothing quite like running around on the raptor mount and my toddler watching the screen making dinosaur noises.
