The land of Ice

I recently began playing GuildWars again. I originally purchased it over a year ago but never really got into it much and ended up quitting within a short period of time.

And I encountered all new foes (such as the one below) to fight.

I also learned about crafting tonight and have discovered that you can salvage magical components from some weapons which you can then double-click apply onto your existing weapons. Now this makes the game much more entertaining!Guild wars Gold Sell for gold, salvage for crafting components, or salvage for magical upgrades! A tough choice indeed!

Well, I stopped playing long enough to write this blog and now I'm headed back in. Guild wars GoldThe ice golems got the best of me this last time so its time for some payback, warrior style!
