Not sure where to start picking up pieces of Carapace and Luminescent armor to complete your collection? TheValliant of Dragon Season has penned a comprehensive guide to get you started. If you’d like to share content of your own, Dragon Season is also seeking contributors.

Rustage loves Player vs. Player in Guild Wars 2 so much that he wrote a song about it. No description could possibly do it justice. It has to be heard to be believed.

The German community site GuildNews.de is celebrating the anniversary of its long-running podcast, which began in 2011 with 50 episodes. The podcast relaunched in 2013 and will reach 100 episodes as of May 21. Visit the archives to browse through all 150 episodes (German language only).

GW2Community.de is celebrating an anniversary as well—the site’s very first. The community started out as a joint TeamSpeak initiative after the first German Foostival in 2014, and they believe that everything is better when you play with other people. Right on! Honeyball and Sputti have created a testimonial video.
