One big thing you missed with Thousand Seas is that it has a portal that will take you to a lot of maps in all expansions - very handy for getting alts to maps without having to either teleport to friend or do a story chapter

IMO, the Thousand Seas one is the best for PvE-OW since it lets you go to fishing holes in lots of zones as long as you own the expansion they belong to. That unlocks huge areas of the map that would otherwise be story-locked, even on new characters. The Jade Bot bench is another big plus.

Thanks for the fun little look at the other lounges!

Haven't played GW2 since 2015 because I was too broke to buy HoT. A few days ago I suddenly got the itch to play again and found your channel. I've been watching your content and "studying up" on the things I should do first. Fortunately I'm no longer a broke college student so I can afford all this crap now! Other than a lounge pass, what "must have" gem store items would you recommend? I have literally nothing from the gem store beyond cosmetics :| Appreciate all the content!

@SilhouetteGaming1

Hey welcome back, personally I think the main gem store items that help a lot are: a lounge pass of your preference, a set of infinite gathering tools, copper fed salvomatic (and silver fed if you care about maximizing efficiency), and the Recharging Teleport To Friend- which helps you get to metas, finish weekly jumping puzzles or just unlock new areas. Combine those with some "shared inventory slots" and you're set. The gathering tools are ultimately preference, but imo the best ones are volatile magic ones- you can change out the glyphs on any of them though so just get a set you like.

recharging tp to friend went from 1 hr to 10min cooldown so it's a pretty damn good deal, even when not on sale. that is unless you have a ton of tp to friends from your toon's birthdays since you have 8/9 years of birthday gifts to open

The only thing I would add is boss encounter portal thingy. Very useful, now includes convergences. Just the Tyria boss encounters plus Dragon Storm, Draktar ( sp?) and convergences. I was usuing multiple times a day for a long time.

I can’t believe that you didn’t mention the most important feature of any lounge, which is the ability to instantly return to the previous map you were in before visiting the lounge by double clicking on the lounge pass item a second time while you’re in the lounge. IIRC, this is only possible in the Mystlock Observatory and the End of Dragons lounges. This is very important for parked alts, so they can access all of the features of the lounge and then instantly return to wherever you have them parked.

You can talk to npc near portal in almost all( if not all) and ask him to teleport you back from where you teleported in. Its extra step but it same functionality.

Thousand Seas and Mistlock Observatory are also pretty helpful if you want to easily maintain the well-rested buff, since they have direct portals to Arborstone and (it took a little too long for this one, imo) the Wizard's Tower. Their portals directly to the Eye of the North, as well, are a big help when trying to get to strikes.

You don't like the portal scrolls the game provides I guess? 😄 If you don't have some shared inventory slots and use different characters that's fair though ^^

@daegraith6524

@@DreiSchwerterZorro Not sure where you got that impression from; I have the portal scrolls for IBS on my main, but it's more efficient to use one slot on a Lounge Pass that has access to all EotN, Arborstone, and WT, than three slots for the IBS Tome, the Arborstone Scroll, and the WT scroll, especially when infinite gathering tools and Salvage-o-matics are competing for the shared inventory slot space (and especially before they added a WT portal scroll). But I can accept that it's probably a playstyle thing on my end.

It's definitely a much better feel as a place though, that's fair. My preference is still also mistlock. But thanks for showing all of them.
