Well, the frostberry zone is the easiset one to get ascended accessories. But yes some of the maps are just terrible to navigate - i want to 100% them but i suppose i'll just wait when i have a flying mount.
The "return" achievements in the end are pretty easy. Most of them are just do the story, mine/gather/chop some trees (like 10 nodes of each), then depends on the map it's usually the gimmick.
In dry top is to open 10 buried chest inthe two subzones, the ones that spawn during sandstorm. Not terrible

Wanted to get back to the game for a bit of trying out new builds that require Celestial gear...Charged Quartz Crystal, worst timegate in history of gaming

I can't say today, but it was quite the set back when they first made it craftable. That's why they made it such a royal pain in the ass to make.

Exactly why I always had a hard time sticking to the game. Every time you want to try something out it's this big production of needing a specific set of gear and runes and sigils and shit that's gonna cost you all your gold and blah blah blah.
i got a full set of ascended celestials and i love it. sure it was pretty overkill to get but for my tempest it was totally worth it.
for anyone else trailblazer or marauder gear will be easy enough and just as worth it.
I had fun once, it was terrible.
I admit that after getting a taste for ascended quality items, I can't fathom equipping exotic ones. But seems like one could craft a full set box of exotic Celestial armor these days? Other than that, its 2 weeks of daily charged quartz to get enough for insignias to stat-swap a spare useless set I have. And yes, I want to try out Celestial on a Renegade.
EDIT: Yep, box of celestial gear requires...Charged Quartz Crystal as well! So either way, I'm going to keep making em for 2 weeks before I get an armor set via stat-swapping an ascended set

One of the best things about having a bunch of legendaries is precisely being able to test different builds since you can swap stats freely. They are not cheap at all and it's usually a lot of work, but at least for me, the freedom was totally worth it. I mean, in terms of gold it's certainly not worth it, but i often found myself being reluctant to try certain builds that seemed interesting because of gear limitations, that changed when i got my legendary armor and changed even further as i kept increasing my legendary collection (almost all weapon slots, back, amulet, accesories and one ring).

Yes. It actually makes ele (weaver) one of the tankiest things in the game. It's great for some classes in open world and has always been okay yet not BiS in some WvW builds. They buffed it not to long ago and made it even better - it had been missing some attributes for years. You wouldn't use it in instances unless you're memeing for reasons you've stated.

So if you can stomach exotic you can farm Verdant Brink's night meta and purchase stat-select great from the map's vendor. Buy gear, select Celestial, you're set.
For ascended what you can do is farm strikes. Lots and lots and lots of strikes then buy ascended armor boxes with strike currency. Also run T4 fractals if you have the equipment for it. Boxes of ascended gear aren't uncommon. I literally have 2 tabs of unopened ascended chests in bank from doing fractals. Average is like 2-3 boxes a week. The armor from the boxes are stat-delectable and celestial is an option in every box.
Also unfortunately you just mixed missed the Christmas event which gave you fully Charged Quartz at a solid rate...anything is better than 1 a day.

Well, today I fuckin learned. I always thought it was more of a silly/meme set.
Interesting though, will have to keep in mind if I ever dust off my ele and decide to play her. I'll just need to unlock weaver and shit though, and last I recall playing her (like, at least a year ago) man am I hot garbage at vanilla ele.
Alrighty, thanks for the tips! I do have tons of ascended gear but sadly Celestial is not what I would've normally picked. Hence, either I farm temporary exotic Celestial gear or wait for 14 days to stat-swap ascended one. My guild seems to have died long ago, which is not a surprise at this point, every guild I try out ends up dead and that's the only reason I cannot have lasting interest in the game even I find many curiously fun aspects

Here's a awesome gearing guide.

Don't get me wrong, celestial weaver is very tanky but still feels like you are playing a piano.

I mean I do have countless ascended gear sets and all the sources to get new pieces, its not like I didnt do anything useful during all these years. But one would agree that all the gear with best runes/sigils and flexibility & capability of filling a lot of roles is wasted when you don't find a bigger group of players to play with
