  1. Ugh, glamour dresser. Just today I painfully deleted ~20 pieces to put back in the same amount. Always 800/800. I know I'm not wearing all of it, but Iike those pieces and I might.

  2. Good video. I never even thought about prepping the challenge log. As for the "good" tombstones… I always get confused with the names…. Is comedy that has the weekly max? But those ones, I would suggest people 1st use them to get gear now cause of the exchange rate. If you're already geared up, then yeah, max those also. But anyways, thanks for the vid!

  3. Hello! Nice video with a good resume of what to prepare for the next two weeks! To add a little more to the video, at dawntrail launch, you will be able to buy the weapons at lvl 80 for viper and pictomancer too, for 600 poetics each. They should be slightly stronger than the one given by the job master!

    One thing I prepare myself for is to cap out the company seals, because if they follows the trend, dawntrail will be the launch materiel container 5.0. Which should contain some minions and mounts from shadowbringer. They can be used either for collection or to sell them on the market board. If the materiel container 5.0 doesn't appear, it's still a good way to stock up for glamour prism or maybe grade 9 dark matter. Maybe keeping equipment to exchange them at launch to get more seals at launch too. 😃

    Lastly, a small question, in the video, you talk about the wondrous tails trick to get exp, but it should only work if people pre-ordered, right? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the journal is only usable for 2 weeks. Therefore, for pre-order, the book is usable from June 28 to July 1. Those who didn't pre-order will get the game on July 2nd, but since it's reset day (Tuesday), doesn't that make the journal of the 18 to 25 of June not usable any more, right? Because you precise in brackets (july 2) that's why I'm asking. 😊

    In any case, I'm very excited for dawntrail and I cannot wait to try the new abilities of the Sage! 😁

  4. For people with expansion experience, will the lv 90 set buyable with poetics be the augmented version (ilvl 650) or the augumented version (ilvl 660), like they are for older expansions?

  5. Man, I have NEVER understood hoarders. My inventory has 5 items in it right now after cleaning it out, and it only had like 15-20 in it before. My saddlebag has like 3 fishing lures that I honestly completely forgot were in there. My glamour chest has like 300 out of the 800 cap. Some of those are wrong gender, and others I put in there because it's unique gear that I don't care to keep anywhere else (like the achievement gear). My retainers are currently completely full with collectables to turn in on expansion launch, but prior to that, literally the only item in my retainers was my wedding ring.

  6. With how many hunts you have to do to get these mounts, i'd be surprised if they change the sack of nuts to something else. ….. Well i hope they dont…… Please dont !
