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.

Guild Wars 2 Chinese Server

After publishing for several months, latest news reveal to the public that Guild Wars II Chinese Server is going to say Hi to Chinese players. I have not make an investigation to those players who are not good at English and expect to play Chinese edition but I get to know that there are many players pay close attention on Chinese server. 


Some players from Taiwan said that they don't want to disperse players in Chinese Mainland from ones in Taiwan because they don't want to cooperate with Korean players. Some players said that they don't participate in Chinese edition because it is much more cheaper than Asian edition and NA edition. What's worse, they feel disappointed for the cloth of Chinese edition, which create a illusion that all of the players from Chinese edition are during winter all year long, too stuffy.  Some players said that it should not be an obstacle for players in Chinese mainland to play NA server or Asian Server because we can go on the game follow their nose. 


Just a Chinese edition can arouse so widely discussion, I think I have a firm reason to believe that there are so many online gamers from China. Maybe that is the reason why Arenanet spend so much energy and time to create a specific edition for Chinese players. Can I guess that it is the major reason why Arenanet charge so high to Chinese edition players? Well, I don't think it is wise to do so after all the clothes in Chinese edition are definitely ugly! Unbelievable, isn't it? Frankly speaking, I don't know why ArenaNet make so many cotton-padded clothes for Chines edition, which make them looks so fat to move and not cool at all...

You can make comparison through these two pictures, the left Charr comes from NA edition and the right one from Chinese edition.

Looking for cannibals: Chilly bones

Continue to look for Cannibals (chilly bones)

Since that encounter Hagen fairs, sale of Fidel Castro fur old hunter, I have always felt that this is a clue, you can find a hunter can find Fidel Castro, you can find hunters more opportunities to understand the mountains cannibals clues.
Under the leadership of the wizard, he knew a hunter, home, possessor of a Fidel Castro the one hand, I would like to see Fidel Castro look like in Hagen often ear to hear Fidel Castro, and in seen Fidel Castro's fur market, so I very much like to see for yourselves the true colors of Fidel Castro. Of course, the more important is to know whether hunters fight Fidel Castro have with more than legends about cannibals.

We drove to the outskirts, to see the possessor of Fidel Castro, the hunter master, the Chinese called plaques Fidel Castro possums, can be considered a rare animal, reared in cages Fidel Castro is a beige small animals, only a few months old, eyes narrowed cute, lovely hand, very much like manpower, grabbed something, like a human action. Hunter said this is his hunting adult Fidel Castro, ran away, leaving the nest small Fidel Castro, so he brought back to the possessor of it. I asked Hunter, then the adult's Fidel Castro how much? Hunter returned to the house to come up with a Fidel Castro's fur is a brown fur, beige lovely to see with my eyes Fidel Castro irrelevant. 

I asked him curiously hunter Fidel Castro how to capture this animal. Then his lord, take me to the woods behind his home, a spire thatched room to see the river when I walk through a creek, attracted by the architectural style, even when I shoved looked up to see the top of the spire thatched cottage human skull, I quickly had a premonition that today I find the right person, the owner must know about cannibals things. When I read the hunters to capture the large cages of Fidel Castro, I quickly pulled skull asked him what he came to the spire pointing? He said previously cannibals left skull, I asked him if he even make human skull hung in the steeple on, he said it is a symbol, a symbol of a warrior. I quickly asked him straight to the theme, and in the end really cannibals do? The cannibals in where?

He spoke slowly answered I said, In addition to the skull, there is more of the skull, and physical human bone. I sounded shocked. Although this is the answer I expected, after all, talked about the dead body always feel like chilling. I dream did not think the previously mentioned bones shunned Today I travel even fallen into hot pursuit staring at the dead bones and creepy story really taste the increasingly heavy chill too pressing , after the trip how to play this game.

I said, can not go and see a cannibals he said heavily bones. He said that these bones he saw many years ago in the river on the back, the cannibals eat human flesh left discarded bones. He said that these bones on a secluded hut, has been a long time, there now do not know how kind he was for many years did not enter the house.

I followed the hunters came to an open space, open space in the back, there is a even shorter than I am tall grass room. The thatched cottage came to the door, that door is only about one meter wide and a meter and a half high, in fact, that is not the door, is a piece of wood slivers from the earth piled up barrier to the beams above, it becomes a door. The piece he remove the wood slivers, I saw that the door frames are covered with cobwebs, dirty, a lot of dust, to see that the house gathering dust for a long time. I almost squatting into the low grass room.

Musty smell inside the house, plus it says there are bones made me the psychological effect some Daowei nausea, ancient bow and shield hanging on the wall, it should be related with the previous tribal war, there many wild boar teeth, I already know that, when these wild boar's teeth would be tantamount to the currency, you can change to a lot of things, so it seems XXX ago, he is a very heroic, he said he is a hunter, hunters here to show off the great achievements , it is necessary to see you hit the number of wild boar teeth before him is a good hunter rich enough to prove. Two bags in the corner, his XXX one by one out of the bag to all human bones, the femur, the phalanx, with hands and feet, as well as two skull. 

I really at this time has selflessly into my trip, I absolutely will not do, will stay away from these things, but this is why I fully intend to finish my trip looking for cannibals, had forgotten who I was, only to discover the answers I needed inquisitive. Now came the grass room together to listen to him about the cannibal story he knew personally and old hunters. I cannibals leave the skull in hand and a review looking Cannibals topic came all the way, from agricultural fairs, heard the Kuna see Mans Ga, the bone arrows, until today, the old hunter see a the grass room cannibals bones here, regarded as the the cannibals bones So far today, carrying the distance cannibals recent information, so that gives me greater encouragement to continue looking for cannibals, but also I want to know further, would also like to provide further evidence, whether true cannibals, in the end cannibals where?

Looking for Cannibals: Dance and Feast

The Cincinnati dance live Peacemaker feast

When I talked with Peter Presbyterian cannibals topic, I saw many tribal village local women dressed in the fields, the kind of its special and its special dress up, they wore a kind of its precious bird of paradise feathers and eagle feathers, the chest hanging boar gums and submarine shells, face smeared the only West Highland have a special color heavy make-up, they are bare-chested, bare breasts, the lower part of the body is tied with leaves, grass skirt, belt with thin linen the tubular goods woven together linen strips, plus a waist drum in hand with one of the woman's beauty and pride. 

Delegation of a dozen of them, and the age, is the mother of the children, but they are extremely serious makeup and wearing jewelry. I'm curious to why they should be equipped with the "heart" shape of wild boar teeth and shells, they said their belongings, currency symbol, no previous currency, are these wild boar teeth and shells to exchange for food, so they still like hanging on his chest, metaphor the financial resources ridden and happiness. They are singing and dancing, mouth muttered singing chorus, "While we can not give you anything, but we give you thousands of color to your happy dance, welcome you traveled all the way open to our tribe, to wish you peace here, and wish you're safe to leave. " 

According to locals, translate to me mean. I found their dress can not be separated from the West Highland maximum a feature ----- bird of paradise feathers. Just kids jump the Tribal Warrior Dance "battle dance", they now jump women singing and dancing is the famous West Highland dance called SINSIN DANCE Cincinnati dance. Have been to almost every tribe in the West Highlands are aware of this Cincinnati dance, the entire northern part of several of the provincial capital of the Highlands, and the second half of the year there is a huge Cincinnati Dance Competition from the various tribes of the Highlands mountain show their symplectic Sim dance costumes, an annual unprecedented Cincinnati Dance Carnival. They say that I see just a dance of their tribe, is a microcosm of the Carnival.

Side dancing, the side Peter has been in command of the village elders a gourmet the ho feast of lunch ----- Mu Mu feast. Mu-Mu dinner with Cincinnati dance in Mount Hagen par, are generally the Cincinnati dance there Mu Mu meal, just locals poor economic conditions, not too much money to buy a chicken to do this Mu Mu feast. Mu Mu feast their village for a long time did not re-enjoy a gourmet feast. In the Western Highlands, you have to prepare a feast wedding, you have to prepare a feast move you to feast grabbing power and money, only a ho feast, it is Mu Mu feast, Mu Mu feast, two kinds, in addition to broiler of Mu Mu, kill a pig Mu Mu is the locals most yearning the most intoxicated cuisine most senior.

First is that what is Mu Mu feast.
The Mu Mu feast Peter Presbyterian total orders to buy 20 chickens, this number usually general festivals only sell five chickens or 10 chickens. In addition to also buy some chicken wrapped chicken can also be eaten in the wild, buy some sweet potatoes, bananas, basically the main ingredients. Then, dig a big hole in the mud first, banana leaves laid in the hole and the hole in the cave lit wood burning wood on top are stones, after combustion stones will become like charcoal wood boiling hot, so the stones charred stone takes about one hour, while stones boil soup, take an hour, and other hot stones an hour later, then a huge banana leaf shop dug hole in the next layer by layer rolled out the first hot stones with tree branches clip to the hole, I was standing next to would like to help with, but beside the raging fire Xunde I felt hot , sweltering has a tremendous amount of heat, you can feel the red-hot stones. 

Put over the hole at the bottom of the first batch of hot stones, put down to the sweet potatoes, is the sweet potato, and then covered with a layer of banana leaves, banana leaves continue to lay the banana, the banana is peeled white banana, then covered with a layer of banana leaves, and finally put on a number of the scalding stones and broiler, those broilers are wrapped with wild, because at the same time in the top layer of put a lot of hot stones without the wild segment broiler with stone block, then these hot stones will be close to the broiler to affect broiler food quality. Finally the hole prior to roll out of banana leaves and then closed cover in broiler above, more banana leaves to cover at the top level, the pressure on the weight of the stick and stone to suppress the hole in order to prevent hot air came out from the hole edge, such the heat emitted by the cave of boiling stones have nowhere to go, only evaporation in a cave on the food, the entire process takes about an hour. An hour later, the scent of broilers with the fragrance of banana leaves, fragrance Miles. . . . 

This is the famous West Highland ho feast called Mu Mu feast. Really big in the world of wonders, compared to what restaurant cuisine and the Mu Mu feast of the most original ecological weak burst. The entire Mu Mu feast multiplayer co-operation is complete, the command of the entire operation and the operation of tribal elders Peter. Finally, under the command of Peter elders give to the families in the village, each family usually only enough to share a chicken leg or chicken breast, plus a few bananas or sweet potatoes, the entire distribution process takes about an hour, so Broiler Mu Mu feast a total of three hours.

Harmony Harmony feast of the Cincinnati dance joyfully celebrate the happy time of Peter the elders asked me, I'm wearing a hat that says 126WT what I said that January 26th is my birthday. So the Kuna Mans Ga tribe all applaud all clapping for me, because this day happens to be January 26, 2013. I moved a bit, I really did not think I was looking for the cannibals clues to find my birthday, my birthday on January 26 this year turned out to be with indigenous tribes in the remote Papua New Guinea, Western Highlands mountain off in the traditional Cincinnati dance live in harmony feast of all indigenous and tribal villagers spent together. 

Locals bounce the guitar to sing and dance, calling my name, to wish me a happy birthday, it was very moved when I left the tribe, the village children calling my name has been tracked intersection gradually away until our car to go. Really unforgettable memories. The guide told them very memorable, because usually live in the mountains, not in contact with the outside world, like me, all the way to come to their tribe, also very happy for them, but also willing to share with me their dance and life.
