Visions of Eternity is Guild Wars 2’s “set sail into the unknown” expansion: you chase suspicious Inquest activity to the magically infused island of Castora, explore two launch maps, unlock nine new elite specializations, and upgrade the skimmer into a true exploration-and-combat mount with brand-new movement and utility. If you’re coming back after a break (or you’re newer and ready for your first “modern” GW2 expansion loop), this guide is built to help you make smart progress fast—without wasting your first week on low-impact grinds.

Janthir Wilds is the kind of Guild Wars 2 expansion that changes what your “daily life” in Tyria looks like. It’s not just new story chapters and new maps—it’s three huge, practical upgrades that affect almost everything you do afterward: Homesteads (your account-wide housing space), land spears (a brand-new weapon type on land for every profession with fully new skill sets), and an enhanced Warclaw (now built for open-world exploration and combat, not only WvW).

Guild Wars 2 expansions can feel weird to buy because they’re not just “more story.” Each one unlocks a different slice of the real game: movement tools (gliding/mounts), endgame build options (elite specializations, weapon access, relics), repeatable farms (meta-events, rifts, bounties), and quality-of-life upgrades that make every future hour smoother.

Your first 10 hours in Guild Wars 2 decide everything: whether the game feels like a living world you can get lost in, or a confusing pile of icons, bags, and “what am I supposed to do now?” The good news is GW2 is built to reward exploration and experimentation—so you don’t need to play perfectly. You just need a simple plan that keeps you moving, keeps your inventory under control, and helps you build confidence with combat basics.

This page gives you a practical, repeatable plan that works whether you play 4 hours a week or 20. You’ll know exactly what to do on reset day, which dungeons to prioritize, how to unlock heroics without wasting time, what “minimum raid-ready” really means, and how to keep improving every week until heroics and raids feel like your normal routine.

Pulling aggro in TBC Classic isn’t just “your tank is bad” or “your DPS is too high.” It’s usually a predictable chain reaction: your group’s opener is too fast, your threat tools aren’t being used on purpose, and nobody is watching the single number that decides whether a mob turns and deletes someone. The best part? Threat management is one of the fastest skills to fix—because once you understand the rules, you can stop the problem before it starts.

Progression in WoW TBC Classic isn’t just about having better gear—it’s about seeing the right information at the right time. Miss one interrupt because your cast bar is tiny, lose a healer because you didn’t notice a debuff, pull threat because you didn’t realize your tank was still building aggro, or forget to repost your materials and suddenly you’re broke for raid night. Addons fix these problems by turning “hidden” game signals into clear, actionable prompts.

Battleground honor in WoW TBC Classic feels “slow” for most players for one simple reason: they’re playing the battleground… but not playing the win condition. Honor and Marks of Honor reward you for finishing games, completing objectives, and stacking bonuses—not for padding damage in midfield while the other team quietly scores.

Arena can feel like a different game if you’re coming from PvE. In raids, you win by learning mechanics, repeating clean rotations, and stacking buffs. In arena, you win by staying calm under pressure, trading cooldowns correctly, and creating short “burst windows” where the other team can’t respond. The good news: you don’t need to become a PvP veteran to start earning points and improving every week. PvE players usually learn faster than they think—because you already understand uptime, positioning, interrupts, and teamwork. You just need a simple system that turns panic into a plan.
