Updated Verdant Brink map with Waypoints and POI's
I took some time to painstakingly place all the POI's and Waypoints from the mined chat codes on the map. The POI's without text are the ones with numeric placeholders.
Enjoy and thanks @Vekerur on twitter for sending me a couple more map shots!

SAB related content
Now that April fool's is over I feel like I can post this model (found in the beta patch) without getting your hopes up for SAB returning on this specific day.
To keep this post short and to the point: as mentioned many times before by Anet SAB will return one day and it looks like they're working on new stuff as well.

Updated Verdant Brink map with Waypoints and POI's
I've just updated the Verdant Brink map showing all waypoints and points of interest with the version found on the API.
A couple of modifications to it:
- Removed the black patches to show the jungle underneath
- Used the south east corner from the beta (shows more detail)

Rata Sum is migrating
I was working on my Historical Guide and suddenly figured out why Rata Sum got an updated version in the beta / stress test patch. They moved the entire map about 10% to the South.

Fortunes Vale, the map that went missing
This one is long overdue, but with the second anniversary of this mysterious map showing up in the DAT only to disappear just a few weeks later it would be a great moment to talk about it. You can find information about events, a higher resolution map and 10 minutes of audio on my site. I'll try to update the wiki page later, but to give you a tldr:
- Fortunes Vale appeared to be set up for 3 competing teams. Each team escorted a single NPC through its story:
- Lionguard Tirzah, a human female on a scouting mission
- Horvath the Horrible, a norn male looking for glory
- Skymaster Loew, a male Asura, doing science stuff
- On the map you would find several biomes, each with unique events and enemies. Including:
- Skritt
- Tree Bandits
- Ogres
- Karka
- Dredge
- "Crazed"
- Elementals

Specialization Calculator
As you might have seen in WP's elementalist video a few days ago I've been working on a trait builder that mimics the upcoming in game version of it. To keep things short:
- All traits have been written down by /u/dulfy and are based on last week's ready up stream
- The elementalist tooltips have extra flavor thanks to /u/WoodenPotatoes helping out
- Revenant traits are based on what we know of from the stress test
- You can share builds by copying the URL and changing your traits will automatically update the link
- More flavor will be added to the tooltips the coming week(s)
If you have any suggestions, complaints or other messages just leave them below!
Link
Update
- URLs no longer fill your browser history on HTML5 capable browsers
- URLs are now human readable (old links will work for a while but will be removed in the future)
- Fixed a bug with wilderness survival not fitting inside the box
↧
Specialization Calculator update
Just a small heads up on the specialization calculator and the changes we've made to it over the past week thanks to your feedback.
- All tooltips now show their internal cooldown.
- Short URLs are now in place. They no longer break reddit or twitter posts and are much easier on the eyes.
- Very old URLs (made on the day of release) will no longer function.
- Dragonhunter and Chronomancer have been implemented along with placeholders for the Tempest, Druid and Reaper.
- Elite specializations now have a flavor color to differentiate them from the core specializations.
Of course any feedback, bug reports or suggestions you have are much appreciated, enjoy!

Additional mastery tiers
With the closed beta coming up next week here are some additional mastery tiers that were added to this week's patch to get you in the mood.
Gliding Mastery
- Improved design to your glider handles and wing slits lets you confidently fly into updrafts, allowing you to gain altitude and travel to previously unreachable locations.
- You learn to bind the wings of your glider with stronger straps, allowing you to fly through downdrafts without being blown out of the air!
- Finding deep core strength after many flights, you've learned to maintain flight while tilting backwards and stalling in midair. You've also learned to land without noise to gain temporary invisibility on landing.
- With practice, you've perfected your flying style. You can now lean forward and increase your airspeed at the cost of endurance.
- You and your glider fly as one. Outside of leaning abilities, you're able to fly without endurance cost.
Exalted Lore
- The Exalted have taught you to use springs found throughout the jungle to cure your ailments and receive beneficial effects.
- The Exalted have taught you to methodically remove rare materials from ore in Auric Basin, giving you a chance to get <insert exalted resource> while you're mining.
Nuhoch Lore
- The Nuhoch have taught you to stand in defiance of the wyverns. They can no longer knock you down with their wing buffets.

Open source laurel to gold converter web-app
I've just released a silly side project of my trading post side project (that's a lot of side projects).
What?
This web-app will show a list of laurel items you can purchase at the vendors and calculate the actual worth in gold using real-time data from the trading post.:
- It uses T6 Material bags because these currently have the highest laurel to gold conversion. It uses real time trading post data to generate 3 possible outcomes:
- LOW: worst case scenario, this is the least amount of money you could make with these bags
- AVERAGE: the average amount of gold you will get out of 1 bag
- HIGH: you got lucky, this is the maximum amount of gold you could've made
- Some items require globs of ectoplasm as well. These are fetched from the trading post and are added to the final price
Why?
Why not, it's just a side project and can be useful if you have to make a tough decision between gold or cats.
But why a web app??
Unlike regular android/ios apps a web app is just a website that's optimized for mobile devices and has a manifest file so it can be added to your home screen to function like a regular app. On the plus side it works just as well on your home computer and obscure devices like windows mobile. (also did I mention it's free, no ads and open source?)
ok.. maybe I should give it a try..
Great!
