Spending way too much time reading gemstore data I noticed all Janthir Wilds items have a typo in the requirement text..
Absolutely useless #GuildWars3 fact of the day. I noticed in all concept art everybody needs to either look away or obscure their face from the camera unless they are Kodan. I'm sure this will be quite important.
Made some major changes to the backend of the gemstore page. It should now also show items that don't have a fixed end date but are available at the bottom of the page. If you encounter any weird results let me know!
After yesterdays update there are store icons for these infinite items and the bell now. The stalker ration + compass come in a bundle same as the identification + salvage kit.
that_shaman@thatshaman.com · 2w agoThe single use birds eye compass and stalker's ration are already dropping after yesterday's GW1 update but looks like there's some new infinite items on the table as well www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/... www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/...

Looks like the material icons of the #GuildWars vault box have been updated to include Zaishen Coins and whatever the Reforged Coins are supposed to be

It looks like the flickering cut scenes from the recent patch are probably caused by how it does fade-ins. It basically draws the background layer a second time on top of the character that needs to be faded in and it seems that either the interpolation or blending calculations fail (hard to tell)
Stepping through the render calls the Lion's Arch selection- (left) and character creation screen light maps look completely broken compared to how they're supposed to look (right)

Yesterday's post is up (?) just gemstore items today and the unreleased homestead skybox has been moved to next month as I suspected before thatshaman.com/post/2026/07...

The #GuildWars2 balance patch has been delayed until tomorrow and I've updated the countdown timer accordingly 😎 thatshaman.com/tools/countd... As usual I'll wait with the mining post and gemstore page update until it's fully live.
Next Guild Wars 2 Update: July 15th 2026

Impossible challenge, get another world completion before the patch hits
I'll do the patch notes for today while we're waiting: - They nerfed the profession you play - The buffed the ones you don't play - Fixed a server crash
Huh, so there apparently was a hardware failure causing a content pipeline issue.. afaik they usually fire that process up at noon the day before a patch hits (as they did yesterday with build 203,989)
Where patch?1! Wonder if this caused a bit of automation confusion
that_shaman@thatshaman.com · last mo.According to Anet the next update will be the balance patch on the 14th but the gemstore data for today's upcoming patch runs until the 21st 😅 Wonder if they pushed it a week ahead.
🤔 that new Homestead Sky is no longer listed as a new item for tomorrow but does have an entry on August 4 now. Wonder if it's been moved up a few weeks or if it will still show up tomorrow.
"Just follow the instructions on screen you can't fail!" The instructions on screen:
A lot of times when I try out new builds I have to keep reminding myself those don't automatically put fun in functional. Some of the "best" rated builds can be an absolute slog to play for your taste so I really recommend trying out different options to find one that does click with you
Changing mount dyes on a F2P account is also possible but more advanced. You need to paste a Travel Template chat code with the dyes applied (either from a second account or hand crafted) into your current fashion template.
that_shaman@thatshaman.com · last mo.Here's a neat trick you can do: if for some reason you have a mount skin unlocked on a F2P account (which shouldn't even happen in the first place) you can actually equip it by selecting the "randomize mounts" option in the fashion menu

The #GuildWars2 API tiles haven't been updated for months now, so I dusted off my old render tool and uploaded some fresh ones to my site: - Castora: the full Castora map (including the new background tiles) - Eternity's Garden: just the tiles that are currently missing on the API
"Shaman you've clearly got the power to do so, can't you just make some normal 3D renders for once?!"
