- It has been a hell of a weekend for me! a lot of content creation but im happy to still be able to put this video out to you guys. Im 100% behind on a ton of IRL stuff but i have some more non-Z2H videos coming, just need time to make it happen!
Hopefully soon i'll have a pretty fun video for you guys, and i hope that im able to make more progress on this account, it is starting to get into the more monotonous parts of the game, needing to actually grind materials and so on- as the weekly grinds become more repetitive i'll likely be segmenting these videos to an "every other" week type upload schedule.
Sorry about the voice, if anyone noticed- the 2 and a half hour podcast and some guests at the house really took a toll.
Hope you enjoyed the video regardless once the videos get uploaded by Teapot and Sneb i'll link them here:

I love map completion -- the core maps were made with so much love
I tried to do atleast one core map comp every WV cycle on my main, ive fallen behind due to content creation and the start of the Z2H series, and I'm kinda anxious to get it done on this guy.
It’s guys like you, doing work like this that shows the game is healthy. Even with some of the disappointments, it’s such a great game, with so much going for it. Glad you’re getting recognized by other content producers. Get ready for the avalanche of new subs. 🎉
I need to make a video about why creators doom about the game. I am guilty of pointing out things I dislike but I have good rational for it. I have been silent for 11 years about the things I liked and didn't like about the game, and so now that I'm in this world I should do a better job of rationalizing both sides and my point of view. I will definitely follow up on this, because I love the game and want to see it succeed.
Been watching this series on my way to work, good stuff got me playing again
Found your channel after listening to Sneb's stream. Really enjoyed listening to all 4 of you talking about the game! Personally I don't really play gw2 anymore but I still usually hop on Sneb's or Teapot's streams when I see it's more of a podcast type of thing,sometimes it inspires me to play the game again even if it's just for an hour. :)
Would love to see you on another podcast at some point!
Thanks so much. I try to play at least some every day but life gets in the way, and the channel gets in the way, but I enjoy it all. Glad you found the podcast entertaining :)
My absolute biggest source of spirit shards is just meta trains honestly, but WvW isn't a bad option either because you do get a fair amount of tomes from that. (and transmutation charges which do have some value pre-legendary)
You get one spirit shard per wvw level if I remember correctly, so with boosters it is not bad if I remember correctly.
Q1) I want to say Thief won since it’s potentially a really interactive style of weapon. However I’m afraid it’s just gonna devolve into “always do this chain”. Maybe different chains will be for different game modes and roles.
Q2) The dream would be 20v20 GvG with territory capture and Keep Lord defense, basically a mini-WvW. More realistic is a 10v10v10 mode. Maybe some kind of capture the flag variant or straight up King Of The Hill. I would be equally hyped for that to be fair.
Side note - I think they could’ve done a lot with Stronghold it just didn’t take off and they abandoned it. I wouldn’t be mad if they tried resurrecting it.
best way to farm spirit shards is doing daily gold on all 17 griffon adventures with all stackable xp buffs that works from 'any' source, it' about 20 mins for 14-15 spirit shards.
For the buffs i suggest:
- xp booster (+50%)
- guild xp booster (+10% max)
- arborstone/wizard's tower buff (+25%)
- Enlightenment buff from Monastery Training heart (+20%)
- Empowerment buff Lv3 bought in LW4 maps that have it (+30%)
These all stack...the only additional would be Lucky Firecracker(+10%), but these can only be obtained 1 per day from achievements during the festival of Lunar New Year
Fractals are good way to get shards, especially if you invest in the exp bonus, along with boosters you’ll get a good chunk of
Thank you so much for the shoutout, i’m a returning player and these videos are being very helpful ✨
In WvW, i typically get 30 spirit shards in 2 hours.
I get 15 for T4 dailies and reds and an extra 5 by doing the CMs daily
I'm starting to get into GW2 coming from FFXIV and having over 7k hours in that game, and the names being different to other games is not a big deal, for that game at least, because a lot of people will get into MMOs with FFXIV. Since GW2 has a smaller player count, if the issue is people understanding the different naming conventions before starting to play... It could just be explained in the site itself, something like: "The new Strike, our single-boss type encouter, [...]" or "The new Fractal, our light party type content, [...]" could reach more people.
Sorry if If I messed up my english, it isn't a first language for me. This series is very entertaining, found your channel through the chat with TeaCup =)
@rafaelelias2678 welcome and I'm glad you are enjoying the videos :). And Welcome to GW2.
The hub situation is terrible. As a person with slower PC I absolutely hate that in order to do strikes I have to go through 20 meaningless loading screens. I understand that we're not giving up two of the hubs in favor of one but if we could get access to all the strikes from each of the hubs it probably wouldn't really break anything and we would get some great QoL upgrade.
Yeah it's the loading screens that got me. Earlier in the series I went and unlocked the hubs through story playthrough to unlock all of the daily strike locations. I have a fast PC and I still dislike the loading screen shuffle.
With your core Masteries done all the exp you get from map completion will contribute to Spirit Shards. Also Living World daily chests give exp based on what expansion it is connected to. So if you have those Masteries completed you'll get faster shards, ten chests filling your bar each, plus karma and map materials.
Other than that doing the HPs in HoT will give lots of experience and chests that give map currency and even rare unidentifieds.
Good news! I'll be grinding quite a bit of HOT for currencies here fairly shortly. It's good to know that I should be able to start chipping away at the 400 I need for T1 legendaries while I work on the armor.
Map completion? My man! Comlpeted every map up to Cantha and working on that as of yesterday. And I'm moving into Club Canach- that sarky salad owes me...
Cantha is a good one! I have done it a bunch of times, I prefer it over the lamps personally and I still have quite a few left to do for all of the aurene legendaries.. which I will be doing again (eventually).
The quickest farm for spirit shards, for me, ended up using the Wizard's Vault; the tomes of knowledge + Mastery XP potions got me a good handful pretty quickly. After I exhausted that, I've done a lot of TMs and HoT meta events, though any meta event would work. Legendary bounty trains also seemed to work when I was working on Exordium, since it was a twofer (elegy fragments + spirit shard).
1) I liked the idea of the Guardian's "Illuminated" mechanic (as a Guardian main), but I gotta say, the thief spear seemed pretty sweet. So, will probably go with thief.
2) I'm hoping for a new gamemode, specifically like CTF.
Also, congrats on getting invited to be on the podcasts! Looking forward to hearing your takes on them.
oh and another thought, i listened to snebs podcast and i think you were a breath of fresh air and differently opinionated on most of the conversation that i thought was great.
If only you knew how much anxiety I had interacting with these guys.. I'm glad you enjoyed my takes and I have been inspired by my conversations with sneb and teapot for some upcoming videos. I think it played out better than I remembered sitting there since i rewatched the episode after sneb posted it up. As my first appearance I feel I handled myself well but i couldve done better for sure. And on a "behind the scenes" note- they are ALL super cool, teapot, sneb, sab, darens, were all down to earth, not egotistical at all, and supportive of me as a newer creator and super welcoming. I just kindof accepted the offers not knowing what was going to happen. I just hope I didn't disappoint and was able to provide them with some entertaining discussion for their audiences. I don't think it's uncommon to feel "oh I should've brought this up" in retrospect. Maybe there WILL be a next time, who knows.
I love the background music you chose haha, very smooth and jazzy, sets the right atmosphere for me :)
Thanks man! Yeah we are extra chill out here. I looked up a few different editing styles and I feel the kinda chill and concise method is the one I prefer the most. There are more hyper techniques utilizing "retention" editing which is way higher effort and also way more chaotic. It works, but it can be annoying for the viewer and the creator. This is way more "my style" as a person anyways. Glad you enjoy! I try to keep a lookout and change things up now and then. It's a different tune from my first 30 or 40 videos. :)
Wonder if the new PvP gamemode will be some sort of new thing they're willing to try. Random ideas that would be cool would be a FFA game mode, less team oriented, sorta like the new Plunderstorm mode that released for WoW. It's something that hasn't been tried yet in GW2, some sort of small scale battle royale FFA would be kinda cool (although could be very imbalanced!) for unranked PvP
How dare you disturb those doliaks with a snowball.
i was like "OH NO!" i blame the kids lol. i wanted a peaceful heart- they chose death.
I would strongly suggest WvW man, its so fun to hop in discord and run for a bit. You get so many other resources for other content (jade heroics for elite specs). MightyTeapot has a great vid on why this is awesome. Also, if you have boosters you get levels and gold for leveling up. You need gifts of battle for legendaries anyway.
As always great vids man
WvW ktrains are massive SS generator.
Also 3x Treasure Mushrooms a day is 3 spirit shards real quick
I agree with map completion, flip on Blish HUD and just kinda zone out doing it while I'm watching something else. And like you said, nice profit for the time put in generally. Good luck on your runs this week, I hope that drop rate finally lands in your favor!
Q1.) When I watched the first video, I was pretty happy with my guard's aesthetics, but I've actually majorly changed my mind. And this opinion might be unpopular, but I actually really dug the warrior's skill animations and visuals. I felt like they really captured the physicality of what throwing a javelin/lance actually is. The motion had serious weight to it, like the warrior was throwing their whole body into the throw. I dunno, I wound up liking that more than the flashier visuals on some of the others.
Q2.) I've been out of pvp/wvw for awhile now (about 4ish years), I gave up when my wvw guild died back during the looong letdown on alliances delivery, and I just... went exclusively over to pve. That said, I adored gvg's back in the day, and while I couldn't even begin to make a realistic guess as to what we'll * actually * get, what I would hope for is structured 15's... it was something my old wvw co-leads/tags really wanted ages ago, but... arena space was all we got. It would be cool to see that happen.
Going to check out your Twitch vids now! That's really great you got to do that, I hope you do it again if you had fun!
If you need spirit shards, the first TM of a map you do on that day will give you 1 spirit shard.
Q1: I like the ranger and thief spear. Sounds refreshing.
Q2: I think the new gamemode will be capture the flag or death match.
Edit: I just read on the wiki that Dragons stand gives 3 spiritshards and that on xp overcapped mastery’s you need to earn 254000 xp to get a spiritshard. So no need for masterygrinds.
Well done mate, and well deserved
Thanks man. It is a lot different talking live about a topic than scripting it and making sure I'm actually accurate.
Sub-aded, i like your content and love for the game.
I find it beautiful, playing 6 year, super-casually but i have 2/3 legendary armors, all trinkets-legy and several Legy-weapons.
Now about Spirit Shards, i played 2 years free-to-play with my first and mein ranger. Now i have something more than 9K SS.
Mein way is true just playing, passiv playing true the time, but i am sure that you know that werry well.
I think that WvWvW and PvP is good idea, revard tracks. Great content, thanx for the videos
Hey! Thanks for the support, if it's one thing that this Z2H run shows is that you actually benefit from playing casually. Congrats on the significant progress on your account. I am excited about the new legendary spear for my main account!
You might need to test it, but I recall reading somewhere in the past that even if you haven’t finished a set of masteries, if you are capped on exp for the current track, all earned XP goes into Spirit Shards rather than getting lost in the void.
I was under the impression it got banished to the shadow realm, however we will test it. I will do my best to prove this and see what we can find out! It would be nice just to continue my normal routine if possible.
if you want to complete one of the mastery line, PoF is the easiest to complete. then you can farm on there, gain exp from Pof meta and daily Hero Challenge for spirit shards. But for the best Exp to fill for spirit shards is from HoT Map, for one AB meta can fill nearly full exp bar, you can get around 10-20 globe of ectoplasm as bonus, because it gives you some rare unidentify gear. but for HoT daily Hero Challenge is quite rough for solo rather than PoF Hero Challenge
This is good info, I think POF lines are good too because you can leech points out of Season 4.
finally, another map comp enjoyer
I don't know why people hate it so much to be honest. It's not hard, it's not monotonous, and it can be done little by little. It's actually pretty perfect as a fallback for "well what do I do now?" And at the end you have something actually valuable.
@@SilhouetteGaming1 exactly, I'm actually working on completing it on every character I have (20+) it always makes me log on and do at least a little bit
Rifts can drop spirit shards as loot. Of course, whether you enjoy doing Rifts is a whole other question ....
And yes, WvW will drop a lot of Tomes of Knowledge you can exchange for spirit shards.
Nice! I'd rather wvw than rift. I'd rather do just about anything than rift.
Dunno about winner, but im very hopeful for necro spear. I enjoy an "edging into big splurge" type rotation (a la make sure all buffs line up for soulbeast axe 5), and with the new build up of whatever tokens necro spear gets into using assumingly spear 5 to do big damage sounds like a lot of fun to me. Plus, maybe power necros will be more fun.
Oh yeah I personally like the multiplier into big slam is fun- power soulbeast and power DH scratch that itch. It'll be cool if necro got that too.
Not me who after 10 years of playing (like 6 of those 10 years spent exclusively in the open world doing metas, farming dungeons, doing map completes with lvl 80 characters and playing PvP) managed to spend ALL of my spirit shards and am currently at 100ish... I feel your pain :D
Commenting for algorithm. Love the videos
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
I can tell that for some emergency spirit shards buying wizard vaults tomes of knowlege and mastery coffers could be a nice timesaver for a little price though some mastery may just push some xp for materies. I would say one of the fastest way to farm spirits shards are fractals if you invest in account augmentation, then every fractal will drop 0,4 of lvl xp bonus, and you only need 2,5k fractal relics for all 4 lvls. So you shoud get like 6 spirits shards for daily fractals + about 10 gold coins. Also daily strikes should be good in xp/hour. But then again it would pretty much eat all your playtime on repeterive content...
As for questions: i dont like follow previews with arenanet i feel like they tend to scrap about half of what they show and then make a dramatic last moment changes. Its nice that they are open about creative process but i just a bit unemotional about ideas that are not yet realised.
For spvp i think they will mostly just make a big boost to rewards on pvp. May be they will make new 1 time reward tracks, 1 unusual unranked map and i belive they promised some discounts on pvp leggies. So overall rewards will lure players who were ignoring spvp and this game mode will win players, some will just farm what they want and leave, others will like the gamemode and stay. Spvp were left unchanged for so long it seems any change should make it a bit better.
I have considered it, but at 8AA and a max of 35 tomes it's a pretty slow method. I think I need to test some other options out.
@@SilhouetteGaming1 i actually have second thoughts about fractals, with meta train you will get about 10 spirit shards per hour with no prerequest like augmentation...
Q1: What's your favorite spear showcast thus far?
A1: Necro or Guardian. I'm a fan of the unique AoE mess on the ground. You can tell what each of the attacks are going to be instead of mystery necro staff marks or too blue for you guardian symbols. Too many attacks don't have proper telegraphing.
Q2: What do you think the PvP game mode will be?
A2: One of the festival PvP events reskinned. Which would be fantastic. I'd play Snowball Mayham every day I'm able. The major point of the "new" PvP mode would be if it receives support after launch. WvW and PvP haven't had new maps in years at this point, or other substantial content injections like unique PvP events (PvP/WvW rushes don't count for me because literally nothing shows any festivities during those in the mists). Destiny 2's guardian games would be a fun mists contest. Which professions got the most kills, dailies, captures, deaths, etc.
Have a good one anybody that made it this far. You're a real one :j
I made it. I also like your take. An open pvp version of snowball mayhem would be awesome.
For spirit shards wvw prob to get tomes of knowledge atleast thats what I do I play alot of wvw tho so casually popping in and out maybe faster ways. And im so excited for thief spear tbh.
Spear thief has my interest, but not quite my attention yet. Need to know more before I get too hype. I need to do a bunch of WVW anyways so it works out for me.
I have mountains of tomes of knowledge from wvw.
wvw 7 days 250 books in zerg no problem
First ❤
It's the guy!
im just popping into octovine daily, its a 5 minute event for 400-500k xp, best xp farm
