They're an item you click on to gain a level, so yes. No idea which way is the fastest to get them, I just use the ones I come across randomly.

yeah but it doesn't take a click to gain a level. it takes the time of acquiring them to gain a level and i want to know for sure that's less than trains/gold blitz/map completion

You can get them with festival tokens right now so if you were to farm a gold blitz you'd get the exp from the events and could then pick up some tomes with the tokens you get.

Leveling with the pavilion is really fast. Get into a group like TTS that's doing gold runs and attack every boss for like 20 seconds and you should get full event credit for the 6 bosses, the event to kill all of them, and then if you give healbot 1s you can get credit for that event too. If its a solid group it only takes a few minutes so you have to hustle to tag everything. Just be careful not to pull a huge train of mobs into the boss.

Thirding, Fourthing? The Pavilion thing, I only ever joined a gold one once for like 10 hours, went from 40 to 60 and had enough to get tomes to push me to 70.

They really need to add hammers as engineer weapons because I just got a mecha anchor and it would be perfect for an engineer. Just doesn't work as well on a warrior or guardian.

I love the wrench toolkit and wish it had more viability. Melee Engineer would be a ton of fun if you could drop turrets and beat people to death with a wrench.

When I was playing around with cooking most of the trip to 400 was gold-neutral through crafting valuable food and selling it on the TP. It only got me a couple character levels though :/

I hope the Labyrinthine Cliffs and the Zephyr Sanctum come back in some form down the road. It's a beautiful area with fun ways of getting around and it seems like a waste to shred it all.

While the forums were down, SFD had some fun.

We did a turret-only SE P3 run that was surprisingly easy:





Mesmer Asura took us to the mysterious face room:




And we visited the birthplace of anime in GW2, coincidentally I hear goons love fractals:



And tonight we welcomed back the forums with DATABASE UNAVAILABLE EDITION of WvWednesday, with huge turnout!! Goshawk even honoured us with her presence in Obsidian Sanctum and endured bird jokes in map chat whilst stealing a spot in one of our guild pics:

Thanks SFD for being the best!!!

i don't understand how it's possibly to go from 1-400 gold-neutral because items lose value when they're crafted

People are lazy and don't want to cook for themselves. Some of the ingredients are karma only in higher level zones might be another reason for some foods selling higher.
