Looks like they changed the Carapace Armor acquisition method for this chapter. It is an achievement reward instead of being tied to completing the Living Story. So you only get 1 per account now vs 1 per character like the last piece. Then you can buy the other 2 pieces at 1000 crests + 2 gold each.

I got one for completing this chapter of the LS. It's in the Master of Peace Bequest box.

It's a really short chapter, but it was fun. The bosses were challenging and I love the look of the maze. Also Caithe :stare:

For reference just doing Artificer, Jeweler, Cook, Tailor to 400+ and Weaponsmith to around 225 cost me about 115g because cloth and logs are insane.

Did you use gw2crafts.net?

[edit]
Also, were equipment boxes in the game at release? I can't remember. Gave a protip to a friend of mine who's just getting back into the game to make an equipment box since he likes to swap out different weapon sets/builds a lot. He had no idea there were specific bag types, haha.

Yes those costs are using the crafting guides and buying only the minimal mats necessary in addition to using crafting boosters the whole time.

That was taken from hour 21 of a tournament to see who could get to level 10 first without buying anything from the cash shop.

The biggest and best change however has to be the addition of a dishonor system, where players who quitting matches will see their rating affected.

First of all, there already is a dishonor system, but secondly and more important, there is currently no possible way to exit a rated match without exiting the entire program for the full match duration. The "leave match" button is disabled, it won't let you use items like the terrace pass or HoM portal stone, and even if you exit the game and then log back in on a different character it just dumps you back into the same match you were in before. You also can't decline your queue, when the timer is up it throws you into your match regardless of what you were doing in the overworld.

Basically what I'm trying to say here is either Anet is going to add the ability to leave ranked matches, or they're just advertising a feature that already exists???

Clearer on the official site.

The update will include a host of other improvements to PvP. We’ve overhauled the entire flow of how a player enters PvP. Rosters are a thing of the past; now you can simply join with your party. Players now have to confirm before entering a match, so 4v5 situations can no longer occur from people going AFK. For players who do drop out, the Dishonor system has also been improved to better handle bad behavior.
