Yes, I know that this journey technically took a little bit longer than 12 hours as I'd completed the story along with a few other bits and pieces prior to this video, but doing the story is a fairly natural part of progression for most people anyway! Do you have any handy tips to complete parts of the Return To achievements as quickly as possible?
People who read this reply, instead of doing it as quickly as possible, it's better to do it in a way you don't burn yourself out. Please take a break whenever you need. Go do something else, even if it's a break from the game. I myself took a 1-year break to play a bit of Civ6, then came back and finished those achieves a couple months ago.
if you have a ton of people, sure, it's 12 hours. but if you're an average player you always end up with unhelpful people, a dead map, some troll or nothing at all and it actually takes several weeks or a month to do.
Teapot, Ima be real. You being a streamer and having an audience gives you such an advantage in doing all of these achievements. The normal andie player wouldn't have 10-15 other people to have eyes on the map, as well as guiding you throughout puzzles and stuff. I mean, yea, I *could* get like.. 3 friends on to help, but that really does pale in comparison to 20/30 people. Would have been interesting to see you do the entire achievement run without the streamer privileges. Love your videos, keep up the work!
Hard to be social when the majority of people only like to go solo, and if they talk then it's about their personal lives and political topics Idc if you consumed your wife's placenta Idc if you're having another baby Idc if you vote red or blue Idc if you think you're a politics expert Idc if you're feeling horny 24/7 And when I asked for in-game help, few people replied, the rest just ignored me, the others were probably afk (so many afk people in this game 😒). But go ahead and talk about some cheap ass pop "culture" reference and/or political topic and you'll be the soul of the chat 🥳🎉 😑😑😑 Do people really like to play or just pretend gw2 is Twitter? Not going to make a buzz about this Just letting it go...
did you come back? i just started last month. completed central tyria story, HoT, and PoF (my absolute favorite) and currently at the early stages of EoD
I tried to do this in a single weekend but I had to redo the story and that slowed me down a lot. Even ran a bounty train on lws4 maps for anyone who needed it. Had like 40 people on me at 1 point.
BTW if you wanna leach the bosses in SW, you can do it even easier. Just give boons to the people entering the fight and if someone who has your boon attacks the boss you get full participation.
I had intended to complete each map's "Return to" as it came out, but when I just barely missed tagging the Harathi High Sage in Lake Doric, I gave up on that. I eventually came back to them closer to the release of EoD and managed to get the Amulet before release. The High Sage was still a problem, though, as was getting a group together for Palawadan (which was the final step for me).
For anyone dreading the Forging steel run(s) after your original story run: you can do private squad > gather and do the easy pre events in the beginning and reset. It'll take you a couple resets to get it all depending on rng but then you can do it solo
its funny because you can actually grief afkers if they dont have autoloot, if they have f binded to loot, you can turtle up and kidnap one of them, i threw like 10 of them of a cliff on plains of ashford, (the afk ghost farm there)
I really hope they do another legendary like this. Let it be doing the main maps and story up until to EoD or something. Let it be a ring, back piece, breather, I don't care. lol I would assume ring or breathers since the only way to get rings is WvW or raiding, and there's no breather.
Haha, try doing the missions in one day. Just the missions, nothing else, on a character that can't select missions in a chapter. I'm pretty sure the unskippable NPC dialogue alone is enough to fill your session. Chopping trees and doing events is the quick and easy part...
Like for instance me as a firebrand and a random soulbeast. Did the south meta on sandswept isles. We duo that shit and a few times we died and just rushed back. Was doing call outs and everything just nobody would come.
So seasons ever go on sale? I have the expansions and season 4 but I can’t afford to spend even more money on the game trying to get seasons 2 and 3 (and ide brood) for this amulet or any other reason.
I got transcendence before this achievement came out so I ignored most of this except those that I got in passing by being on the LS3/4 maps doing stuff.
@@PlanetFromOuterSpace it is pretty bad.. lol The thing with draconis mons is the fact that it has a HUGEEEE time gate for aurora. So people are forced to interact with the map for wayyy to long so they end up hating it. Cus a lot of people hate this map.
Oh I did speedrun that shit all the way to champions and that was when burnout hit. I just hate Dragon response missions. Finished at least 5 months later.
@@MightyTeapot I was being very sarcastic there, have agreed with all of you that the subreddit is overblowning how big of a problem AFK farming is. Sorry for not making that more clear, enjoy your content!
Yea I should def not use this vid. Zero to hero nah……. Follow the streamer more like it. Literally like 25 people in you squad following you around. I tag up to do these events I might get 4-5 if I’m lucky.
The one thing I want to see him do is the silver wastes jumping puzzle and of course already did that off broadcast, convenient much? Let's just show all the tedious play while being carried by an entourage and skip all the challenging content. Nice job Tea pot keep the mediocre content coming.
1) I actually did the full jumping puzzle in an earlier episode, one of the first ones actually. 2) If you go through the game with your attitude; making excuses for why others succeed and you can't - then you will never achieve anything.
Triggered much? First of all, that giant grp following you everywhere isn't a common occurrence joe shmoe doesn't have a massive following carrying them through content. You obviously do, that's not an attitude problem, it's basic observation. And second you could have been the bigger person here and just supplied the information I was looking for without the extra attitude thus sinking to my level proving you're no better. @@MightyTeapot

He streamed the entirety of the content of this video last monday, it's the latest VOD available on his Twitch channel. He had already done a few things beforehand but it would probably end up around the 20h mark at the maximum
@@ViviLouF i did this quest, there is 10 achievements on each of 24 maps, its just impossible. i told about doing whole achievement pack. u need to do story, u need to do meta, u need to collect logs, ores etc, smth specific on each map. whole quest took about 120 hours (5 hrs per map), cause you need to wait metas etc

@@Vietcongster I think it's better to let people play the game how they want to
@@Vietcongster some people literally do not care about the story and this would be a cheap and easy way of getting your legendary amulet.
You essentially have your Phd in Guild Wars 2. The amount of things that you know about this game is phenomenal.

Just letting it go...
As a person who is eyeing aurora vision and the amulet I have to say, this is exactly the motivation I needed to go on my grind
LETS GO
I have a friend who has also just started his Aurora journey in earnest. Getting both was super worth the grind, imo. Best of luck to you!
16 hours. in the span of 3 weeks. 8 hours of those is climbing chalice of salty tears.
This guys's gonna make me come back on GW2 what an amazing streamer!! I love this content
did you come back? i just started last month. completed central tyria story, HoT, and PoF (my absolute favorite) and currently at the early stages of EoD
It was an honor and a pleasure escorting you in almost every steps of this journey (yes, even the Searing Ascent)
Jumping puzzle tier list when? 🤔
Very enjoying to watch that. I remember to do a very big bunch of it in one go too. Happy that I did season 2 already before, for my sanity 😂
I tried to do this in a single weekend but I had to redo the story and that slowed me down a lot. Even ran a bounty train on lws4 maps for anyone who needed it. Had like 40 people on me at 1 point.
For those looking for jumping puzzles, Chalice of Tears was already done, Searing Ascent is 48:25.
This "free" legendary actually costs the price of your sanity during the JPs... 😅
BTW if you wanna leach the bosses in SW, you can do it even easier. Just give boons to the people entering the fight and if someone who has your boon attacks the boss you get full participation.
I have major hate and disdain for jumping puzzles. Especially hate for it as a requirement for ANYTHING...
TP to friend is the correct way to do the draconis mons JP. :)

cant wait for frugal fighter to go from w1-w7 with pugs
The lack of personal jade waypoint in that JP was honestly pretty frustrating XD
Love the content man, keep em coming
I really want to see how you did Drizzlewood. Struggling to find a group for that one.
Haha, try doing the missions in one day. Just the missions, nothing else, on a character that can't select missions in a chapter. I'm pretty sure the unskippable NPC dialogue alone is enough to fill your session. Chopping trees and doing events is the quick and easy part...
hyped for this one
Like for instance me as a firebrand and a random soulbeast. Did the south meta on sandswept isles. We duo that shit and a few times we died and just rushed back. Was doing call outs and everything just nobody would come.
i probably missed it in another video, but whats the name of the cloak youre wearing? is it a legendary or a skin?
Damn, you don't like RIBA? Thats like legit all I farm lol
Omg im at work actually watching xD
This jp 🤣🤣🤷🤷🤷omg coool i hope ill try it sooner or leter 😨🤭🥰🥰
This is both amazing, and yet I must ask if you need help.
I'm doing legendary PvP backpack at the moment, much more fun.
He’s a mad lad
So seasons ever go on sale?
I have the expansions and season 4 but I can’t afford to spend even more money on the game trying to get seasons 2 and 3 (and ide brood) for this amulet or any other reason.
Yes, they go on sale a couple of times a year
I got transcendence before this achievement came out so I ignored most of this except those that I got in passing by being on the LS3/4 maps doing stuff.
I forgot how hard the music goes in forging steel. Too bad that strike takes forever.
Im burnt out just by starting the achivement.. finished lws2 recently, its so boring to get it.
I don't know the first episode of the series, so sorry for asking this question. But if you started a new account how are you mastery 455?
This is season 2
@@MoonsickLucca oh ok ty for letting me know
Draconis Mons is also my fav map!
Not sure if you’re sarcastic or you haven’t done Aurora
@@TechnoBacon55 A map is more than the achievements associated with it. Also I did aurora shortly after it's implementation. Wasn't bad.

10 hours non stop gaming?
If Ed Sheeran played firebrand
i soloed forging steel last night just for it not to count towards that achievement
43:51 anyone know which ost this is?
Why didnt You start doing Aurora at same time?
I can't face the mursaat tokens
A week or two is more realistic if u dont have a job 🤭 three weeks if u got a life 🤗
OMG! at 12:44 my Char is running into the Picture. I made it guys, now I can die happy.
To be fair, the Return To achievements were filler that was supposed to be a liiiiittle bit grindy.
