This is everything I wanted from this event and more. Including the t-shirt! Thanks, ANet! \m/ \m/

Aurene's Lair, maybe? Yes, please.

I hope you catch it next time. Given how often it usually rotates through, I'd expect to see it in late October or early November, though past scheduling is only a rough predictor of future scheduling, when it comes to the gem store.

It means that it returned to the gem store for the period of time from August 27-September 10, and went off sale again after September 10. We won't know when it's coming back until it does.

> Wrong. Garden plot seeds can still be harvested by anyone, except for ascended crops.

It is not wrong. That was a reply to the quoted question of what happens after the instance owner has harvested their nodes for the day. After that point, no one else will be able to harvest even non-ascended garden plot nodes until reset, though they may still harvest the other nodes.

> @"Ol Nik.2518" said:

> Did you check if the nodes are available after your harvesting them? I believe non-garden-plot nodes are available to your guests whether you harvested them or not.

Yes, those nodes still work that way, so anyone you take in after doing your own harvesting will still be able to use all nodes except garden plot, enchanted chest, and hunter boards, as before.

I just took several guildmates into my home instance last night, and they were able to harvest all three garden plots (all planted with non-ascended seeds specifically to make sure I could share the bounty on guild night). As long as the home instance owner doesn't leave the instance after harvesting, it will let anyone harvest the non-ascended nodes. If you need to make multiple trips, save your own harvesting for the last one.

Bumper cars with explosions. I like it.

The Fragments of the Solid Ocean consumable is only account bound until the player double-clicks it to consume it. Once consumed, it appears in the guild storage, where any scribe belonging to that guild (and with the appropriate permissions) can then craft with it.

Edit to add: there are several account bound ingredients that the scribe will have to self-provide, such as the Gifts required to make Uzolan's Mechanical Orchestra. You can help offset that by asking guildmates to provide other materials, but you'll want to check the various recipes before you start making them to avoid getting tripped up by something being more expensive than you realized.

You might want to save your makeover kit until the prologue drops, in case it comes with new Charr features in the total makeover kits. I haven't seen anything that says we're getting them, but it seems like the kind of thing that would make sense to come out with access to a party in the Charr homelands at the beginning of a story arc that's going to feature Charr culture pretty heavily.

Something along those lines would be great. Especially if it had really good boots.

...please, could we have a concert T-shirt outfit obtainable in game in some fashion? My punk elementalist needs it for town clothes in a bad way.

Those look like days the API imploded.

I'm stoked enough to have just put in for September 17 off work. I'm really eager to dig into the Norn and Charr story and use the strike missions to get a handle on raid rotations.

Part of the purpose of these events seems to be to drive traffic to older content that's required for some collections and achievements. This specific one makes it easier to find a large enough group of people to complete the Justice of the Blade, Conservation of Magic, and Anomalous Occurrences achievements, as well as collection drops from the Orr Temple events. I think the rewards are pretty well balanced to be enough of a draw to serve that purpose while not being so large as to make it possible to fall behind if we choose to do something else instead. It's nice to have the option, but these don't feel obligatory to me, especially since they're easy enough to accidentally participate in over the course of a week to get the community rewards, and it's great for "Oh, I need to do something with the Mighty Oouo for this collection and kill half a dozen champ krait for that one."

It's a badge, kind of like the world completion medal, only orange instead of blue.

You can see it on the upper right of the image showing one of the Consortium officers [here](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Alma_(Consortium) "here").

~~There's not a page that just lists all the vendors and their locations, but there's a column for Vendor on the [page for the currency](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Mark "page for the currency") that names them all.~~ [Thanks, @"Inculpatus cedo.9234" ! Skipped right over that not expecting them to be listed under a header of "Mechanics."]

I finished picking up the last of the minis I didn't have yet, unlocked a couple of novelties, bought several Zephyr Lanterns for my guild, and I'm debating unlocking a couple more novelties or unlocking some skins. I already had the home instance nodes, or I'd have probably done those first.

> There is an easier way to find them on the TP, just hover over the dyes you have missing and right click, look on TP(it will bring up that exact dye and you'll know the price), yes, you have to go through all of them and remember the price, but I did it this way the last time I did this: set a limit on how much per dye you're willing to spend and when one comes up that meets the threshold then buy it.

That does work, but I'm not sure I'd consider it any easier. Right now, the _easiest_ way is to open gw2efficiency, limit by what's still locked, and sort that by price, but I'd feel less compelled to use a third party app if exclusives were classed as exotic, so I could use the tier limiter to keep my search results to a manageable size.

Oh, and maybe interactive dragon effigies for guild hall decorations, too, like we have with the fireworks, please?

I'd enjoy something like this even if it was kept small and conferred no material benefit, if it meant we could play hide-and-seek and catch with young skyscales.

Agreed. I'm really loving this party, and I even like how it's spilling out into the nearby maps with the Hologram Stampede.

Edit to add shameless begging: Can we please have the potted autumnal trees and the bedecked arches around Might and Main as guild hall decorations for next year? I really love those.

I could get behind that, since there are guild decorations and the Dragon Revelry Starcake recipe uses 40 Zhaitaffy for 2 cakes.

I don't think we need a whole new tier for dyes-with-effects, but I'd like the gem store exclusive dyes to be classed as exotic instead of lumped in with the other rares, purely to make it easier to search the trading post.

Can you point me to something from ANet that says that? I'd be very interested to read it.
