After years of neglecting the second tier of the collection I finally bit the bullet when I happened to see a group advertising the two challenge motes. The following day I completed all of tier 3, and then I spent a couple of weeks working through the final tier, and this morning at 8:30am because I was too excited to wait I soloed Mai Trinn because no one wanted to do a non-daily fractal at that time of the morning, handed in my journal, and skipped to the mystic forge. This just leaves the two ring slots for trinkets, though rings are trivial to get. I’ve also unlocked all three of the legendary variants of Aurene’s Fang so far – honestly I can’t believe you’d have to do this per legendary and not just once for the lot.

I also with the Steam release and the new player experience made a new character and levelled without using any scrolls/books/crafting (beyond what the new advancement makes you). It took me slightly under 14 hours from level 1 to 80. Which felt good, I completed the first six chapters of the personal story while doing it. I targeted the zones for the new achievements as well to speed it up. It was smooth, quick, and I did have fun. Hopefully new players will enjoy it. I did seem to meet a lot of new players starting out with fractals whenever I was doing the early fractals so I’m guessing a lot of new players have hit 80 now.
