WoW: Say cheeeeese!
Now who’s more photogenic, eh? I like how silly World of Warcraft is sometimes. I had seen that they implemented the S.E.L.F.I.E. camera some time ago, but both my characters received their very own ones in the game today. Oddly enough, despite it being very silly, it’s not really breaking the immersion for me. Maybe…

Trove Robo Raptor mount
Sometimes, I can’t believe my luck. I had a look at the dev trackers I’m following earlier today (for Guild Wars 2, Trove and Rift) and saw this post where Ocho explains that the Robo Raptor mount in Trove is an exclusive giveaway item they are handing out to streamers in order to help promote…

Nightmare Tide CE’s dimension items and Bloop
With the expansion being postponed, my plans to play said expansion during my vacation (it was a coincidence that my 5 day vacation was exactly when the expansion should have been released. I thankfully did not take days off to play that one! ^^) were almost cancelled. That is, until I realized that the expansion…

Rift: Ducklar Companion
Last week, I won a Ducklar companion during Rift’s livestream. Funnily enough, right after I had won that companion, they gave away the Ultimate Nightmare Edition of the upcoming expansion (which costs 134,99€!). We were joking how great it would be if bookahnerk won that one (I already bought the cheaper one – Infusion Edition…

New hairstyles for GW2 characters
The latest patch came yesterday and it did not bring new living story achievements to hunt for. I find that quite refreshing as it lets me catch my breath a bit. There was not that much in the patch, but what did come were new hairstyles. This finally made me use the Total Makeover Kit…

Rift: Carnival companion picture gallery
(April 2, 2017: This picture gallery may be old, but it is still up to date concerning the Carnival Celebration Crates, the achievement as well as the looks of the companion pets!) The “Carnival of the Ascended” just went into its second week. This was originally meant to be the final week, but due to…

Costume Brawl without spending gems?
Update (September 28): This guide does not yet include the quaggan tonics. I will add them in later. I bought the pirate outfit from the gem store some time ago. Funny thing is I had totally forgotten about that afterwards and was surprised when I saw that my charr engineer wasn’t wearing his town clothes…

Bazaar Mini Quaggans
Some time ago, I was eyeing that blue quaggan backpack. In the meantime, I had bought a striped tiger one as I could get that one for gold. When I finally bought a gem card, I wasn’t so sure anymore that I wanted the blue quaggan backpack anymore. The tiger one looked great on my…

Plush Tybalt Backpack
I’ve been drooling over the plush tybalt backpack ever since I first read a post on reddit that this is in the game data. Now it’s finally here and bookahnerk bought two of them. One for me and one for himself. Since our main characters* both joined the Order of Whispers, this serves as a…

Crab Toss – Skill Overview
Southsun Cove basically got “relaunched” and for a few weeks, we can enjoy the mini game “Crab Toss”. Unfortunately, this is just a temporary addition to the game. Either way, it’s there now for us to play. In order to enter, you speak with the NPC “Karlotta” on the small island north of “Sawtooth Bay”…

Mini Lion Cub – Miiiine!
I admit it, I’m weak! But doesn’t it look great with my warrior? The mini lion cub is only available for a week (4 more days at the moment) and then another mini will be in the gem store for a week. I don’t like that concept, to be honest. I want to see everything…

GW2: Customize with dyes
One thing that I’m really disappointed with is the limited visual customization of your characters. For example, I bought Flummi a Tiger Charr Backpack. The problem was that I still only had a rare back item. So I spent 5 gold and 5 guild commendations and bought the Guild Assassin Backpack to put the look…

Hall of Monuments: Miniatures!
Guild Wars 2 has lots of miniatures. Those are “pets” or “mini figures” that accompany your character but that won’t fight with you and they can’t be attacked either. You may remember that bookahnerk created a long video (seen below) with 84 different miniatures and their idle animations. Unfortunately, not all of them are in…

GW2: 84 miniatures and their idle animations
Bookahnerk spent the second BWE trying to get as many miniatures as possible. Having a global* trading post helped a lot here. He was able to get almost all of those that were available except for Mini Ragar Shardhammer, Mini Skam Darkhoof and Mini Zojja (*sob* I would have loved to see her!). Out of…
