Guild Wars 2 Basics
Today I made a short guide on where to buy basic gathering tools, and what the level requirements are for each one. I went to Lion's Arch, but you can find master craftsmen in every major city - just look for the crafting icons on the map, and find the vendor standing right beside them! Don't forget to like & subscribe, and to let me know in the comments if you have any questions or suggestions!

Do you have at least 15 gold to invest in your home instance? How about 25 laurels? Then you might want to consider a daily dose of quartz crystals! Head to any major city, find a laurel vendor, and buy yourself a Gift of Quartz!

Here is some info on Laurels:

In continuation of the Guild Wars 2 Basics video collection, I give you an introduction to the Krait Obelisk Shard home instance node! If you have gotten your crafting to the point of needing Charged Quartz Crystals, or you just want to get ahead, this is a great quality of life investment. Please do keep in mind that, if you can wait until the Festival of the Four Winds, you will be able to buy this home instance node for Festival Tokens instead of gold and laurels! I just wanted to get a head start on making Extra-Pungent Skyscale Treats for the Skyscale Lost collection.

It's time for another introduction to the basics of Guild Wars 2! This is a guide on how to start a crafting discipline. I chose Tailoring, but you can easily choose any of the professions with the help of this video - with the exception of Scribing (that will be in a future crafting video). Crafting guides will be coming up in the future, so stay tuned!

Complete Core Tyria Mastery XP Guide
As promised, the long-awaited guide on Core Tyria mastery experience! It is a very long video, but time stamps below allow for skipping from chapter to chapter. The video begins with explanations of boosters and other ways of obtaining increased XP gain. Then it's onward to the methods for gaining XP in Central Tyria, from highest XP gain per hour to lowest.
YouTube refuses to allow me to put a video where I want it, so here is the link to my video guide on finding a guild:

If you enjoy watching gameplay, I have also included sections of that in between the guide bits.
