1. Finish the Living World Return achievements.

If you haven’t finished the achievements that came with the release of the living world episodes some months ago, now is the perfect time to do so! Not only does it give you cool rewards, but it also helps you catch up on the story so you know what's going on in End of Dragons!

This actually leads us to our next point...

2. Replay Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire

If you don't have HoT and PoF, that's perfectly fine, and you shouldn't feel any pressure to buy them, but if you do have them, this is the perfect time to replay the story of the two expansions! If you do this along with the living world seasons, you should be completely caught up on everything that has happened in the story so far!

3. Farm Hero Points

When End of Dragons comes out, there will be 9 new elite specializations ready for playing, and what better way to start than dive straight into them? Instead of slowly getting hero points to slowly level your new elite spec, you can start of by completely training your specialization the minute you log in, leading to instant fun!

4. Complete Any Remaining Masteries You Need

Let's face it, not all of us have unlocked all the masteries that are in the game. That takes a lot of time to do, and some of us are more casual players who just don't have the time. Well, the time is now to get those masteries ready before End of Dragons releases! It might make things a bit easier for you in the long run.

5. Level Up Any Characters Who Need It

If you still have any characters under level 80, this is the perfect time to level them up! That way, once End of Dragons is out, your other characters can also get in on the Cantha action, and maybe you'll have access to more of the elite specializations! Besides, leveling characters can be a ton of fun!

6. Work on Map Completion

Unless you're a hard-core gw2 player, I highly doubt every single one of your characters has completed the map. Now is the great time to do so, and while you do this, you'll also be contributing to numbers 3-5!

7. Level Up Your Crafting

With End of Dragons, there is bound to be new gear and weapons for you to craft. If you don't have any high level crafters for what you want, this is the perfect time to level your crafting up!

8. Indoctrinate Your Friends

Gw2 is a game that is more fun when you have friends to goof off with, especially when you consider some of the new masteries that are coming out like the siege turtle, skiffs, and fishing. Now is a great time to try and get your friends into the game. Who knows, they might end up really liking it!

In the end, this is just a list of suggestions for people who aren't sure what to do right now, and isn't required at all to have fun when End of Dragons does come out. You also don't even have to follow the order that I listed the options in! You're free to prepare however your heart desires, be it by following my list or doing something else entirely. I'm really just writing in the hopes that someone who was having trouble figuring out what to do is able to see this and get some ideas on how to prepare.
