Very nice Advertisement Lakshmi. I'm super excited for the crafting arm or division of Gaiscioch.

very nice idea there

Great Idea :) Can't wait to craft in GW2 ;) Love crafting :)

Will be there!!!

I'll do my best to be there as often as I can.

Sounds great! I'll definitely be there.:) Also if any of you see things i should change on my guides let me know. I'm going to split them up like Lakshmi reccomended into seven posts. I'll try and finish them by launch (and add more pictures/graphs). On a side note... if anyone wants to make a run through that path this stress test and give me feedback, I would be obliged! Unfortunately (fortunately?) I will be at a bachelors party so can't today.

Very nice! looking forward to these.

Oh I'm going to love this!! Can't wait! Myk

Gathering seems like a great plan. I'm as yet uncertain how it'll work out for crafting, as everything has to change hands by mail. You have to send the item(s) and trust the person to send back. I guess should think of it like shopping via eBay rather than a swap-meet.

9:00 AM server time?

<<

I'll definitely be there! :D

Jerich!! Wonderful guide, very excited to see more of these. I love gathering and enjoying groups, so I will Def be there!

Hate crafting.... Love gathering and most of what I gather goes to guildmates so I will attempt to be there for these events.... IF I AM AWAKE :) My internal clock seems to think that sunrise is around 11:00 a.m. pst.

I'd be interested in possibly tagging along here and there. My second "hobby" next to PvP is crafting :)

There is a one hour stress test tomorrow (Sunday)! I'll try to make a lap or two (depending on how much time I have), test out the path and make some changes if I need to. If anyone else wants to try it that would be awesome too.

I'll also try to run the your designed route as well jerich. As well as check the bandit cave sweet spot to see if there's any changes there(which i think we may see come end opening day).

Sounds like something I would like to be pat of as well. Thanks for settimg it up.

So i did 3 test runs on Jerich's designed route and averaged. aprox 120-150 copper. aprox 60-80 wood. aprox 4-10 gems. As for the bandit cave sweet spot I didn't see any change to it at all. making it a great place to grind for levels as well as random loot and loot bags.

Thanks superherogeorge! I did one test run and got

• 143 copper
• 75 wood
• 9 gems
• 30 cooking ingredients.

It took me about 45 minutes, so George is much faster. He may be the person for the zerg to follow if he is willing.:) One thing to note is that nodes definitely change each time around. One spot that is hot may be empty your second time around and vice versa. I felt like I was beating respawn for a few of the node areas, but I need more data to know for sure.

I love crafting too. I'll try to be there at the inauguration event.

Looks like I could do the zerg but the crafting faire falls right on lunch time here in est land. Still love this idea for the gathering of materials and sharing of skills.

i may have finished rather quickly. but that was mainly due to the huge amount of speed warriors have. 2 charges and 2 sprints a warrior when spec'd can almost be in a constant sprint across the map. As for leading the zerg on route.. I am willing to help lead the zerg but i would prefer another to be the head of the zerg.

I will be there.

I'm planning on it.

Imagine the looks on the faces of others when suddenly 100+ [GSCH] come charging over the hill sprinting at a copper node.

Will try to make the inaugural event, but it falls between 3am and 5 am my time... So no guarantees. ;)

I ran the route 2 times on the last stress test and found that the respawn had changed so that you would not want to do multiple runs in a row. It is somewhere between an hour to two hours before it was worth running again. Should I extend the path or do you think one lap is enough? If I extended I could probably make it long enough to be lappable.

Loving this idea, installing raidcall for a craft loving loved one for this event, and procastinating the family grocery trip.... I can put off the blame this time.. AND distract the little one with people running around Queensdale..whee! See ya there!

HA, love the part about you using the time to also amuse a little one. This should only add to the amusement of the whole krewe going out there. =)

I wish I could attend, but I won't be able to. Have fun you all!

I'll see you later! :)

I've updated this announcement to reflect the refinements to our Gathering Zerg format.
