New Guild Wars 2 Consortium Items

Three days ago, there are two compelling items released on Gem Store, one of them called the Consortium Mobile Crafting Station and the other called the Mobile Mystic Forge. Judging from their name, you may guess that these items belong to Consortium and may sell out at expensive price. Maybe you are right, maybe not. It depends on which perspective you think of it.

From the perspective of unit price, it is acceptable. Both of them sell out at 100 gems each. It is affordable and competitive compared to similar items in Gem Store. What's more, they can used to craft items and forge weapons at any convenience time for us that facilitate us to a great extent. However it if extremely expensive seeing from the perspective of the term of validity. Generally speaking, there are no time limitations for those items in the game; while Consortium items not the same. These two items only last for 15 minutes once being activated. It's unbelievable, isn't it?

Maybe there are still players would like to spend money on these items no matter out of show-off or just want to have a try. After all, most of players are unwilling to spend 100 gems on such luxury articles. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think it is necessary to get such mobile items even if we can use them at any time. In addition, they cannot increase the chance to forge rare weapons or help us craft more valuable materials. Well, if you still want to own one, it's ok, only 100 gems after all.

Travel to Himalayas

Himalayas is the world's highest mountains, the Tibet Autonomous Region of China in Asia on the border with Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries. More than 2400 km long from east to west, north-south width of 200-300 km [2]. Located at the southern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, west of Kashmir - Nanga Parbat (latitude 35 ° 14'21 ", longitude 74 ° 35'24", 8125 m above sea level), east to the Brahmaputra Great Bend at Nan Jiaba watts peak (latitude 29 ° 37'51 ", longitude 95 ° 03'31", 7756 m above sea level), with a total area of approximately 594,400 square kilometers [1]. China and Nepal on the border of the main peak of Mount Everest altitude of 8844.43 meters, is the world's highest peak.


Travelers always need to tramp over hill and dale when they clime this mountain, at the same time, most of them may appear altitude sickness. You can see how I conquer this sickness.

Beginning to generate a sense of altitude sickness, vertigo, I do not care too much, did not slow down, just lost half a chocolate into his mouth. However, the road to climb further and further difficult, once in the ear can not hear the sound of the wind, all jerks sound of your own heart beating. Distant, dark blue mountain stretches layers, white Brahmaputra removed the meantime, such as an everlasting picture, but I fully attend to appreciate, the eyes only piece seems to be no end to the road. "Tired? Crash it? Experience after the collapse of cheer, even if you are a taste of the true meaning of outdoor" peer hiking people encouraged me so.

Over the second Pass, a tranquil lake in about 50 meters wide and shallow blue-green glowing surface of the water in the cove. Previously, most of the hillside after flowstone throughout - large rocks long years of weathering and erosion into the land fragments did not expect to meet this lush land. Can not wait we approached, the sudden surge of strong winds sandwiched hard small hail fell from the sky, the quiet surface of the water instantly boils, hail hit our Jackets, crackling, bounce off a road white parabolic. I pulled down the brim bulkhead forward, just adapted to this walking posture, but found that once again the warm sun shines on the body - but after just 15 minutes, turned around and looked, Hai Zi and serene as ever.

Beautiful scenery help me drive sickness away.
