I don't think this is possible because there have already been seven calamities, i.e. seven worlds have already rejoined with the source, meaning that's seven fragments of the WoL we won't be able to find.

Well, it's explained that after a Rejoining, all the Aether from the Shard is siphoned back into the Source. It could pretty be easily be said that we're somehow already absorbed back these 7 fragments of ourselves.

Cleared the new raid, very easy on normal but still fun mechanics. Fights are pretty cool. I like the change to gear drops too, way less cancer, 8drops that include every slot in every floor means you can get chest or legs in one week and that it won't take 25runs of each floor for it. Sadly I'm retarded and rolled on both legs and chest the first 2 and got 2 different pieces, so now I'll have to wait next reset but still. Will be a lot easier to farm them for glamours and shit later on though. Kinda wish they'd go back and do the same thing for the old raids.

The soul being mended/restored thing is more you no longer suffering from metastatic light cancer, IMO. Feo Ul, Urianger, and Shtola make a number of comments saying that your soul looks "cracked" due to the excess aether, which you presumably purge by fighting Emet, who's extremely tilted to darkness.

Emet literally tells you that you have been rejoined 7 times, so you are more of a person than anyone, and if we survived the rest of the rejoinings, then we stood a chance of becoming a full person. Ardbro basically merges with you before you battle Emet because he is one of your soul fragments, which is why your soul is fixed/able to hold the light (because you are more of a full person now and stronger). Plus it hints at this even more when Emet gets a glimpse of your original Ascian form for a moment after the merge.
Rejoinings basically merge everything with the source, including soul fragments where applicable. That is the whole ascian plan: Each rejoining merges the parts towards the whole, which is their end game. This is why it is key the WoL soul fragment escaped the 13th, which did not merge with the source because the Ascians fucked that one up. Unless the 13th could be repaired/restored/merged, then it becomes impossible for the ascian plan to fully succeed. However, because your soul fragment escaped, there remains a possibility that they could merge with the WoL soul in the future

Go with RDM. It's far and away the easiest MDPS to play now that SMN got the nerf stick. Your rotations are simple as hell, and you get shitloads of utility including an awesome heal.

I made it through patch 2.1 post-ARR quests, and started on patch 2.2 post-ARR quests. I have to say at this point, I am feeling the quest fatigue setting in, but I know if I just push through another 78 quests, I will get to start on Heavensward.
I might take a break from the quest grind tonight to do some harvesting, crafting, and a couple dungeon runs. I think I need something to break up the non-stop quest grinding. It's reminding me of what I hated so much about WoW back int he day; chasing those quest givers.

You're in what is BY FAR the worst section of the game. There's some interesting stories being told though, and stuff that will pay off much later. It's just how it's structure that make it difficult to go through.
Still if you're enjoying the game overall, it's worth playing through, as you said you might want to alternate with other things to not burn out.

You should have plenty of "new" dungeons to clear at 50 if you want a change of pace, 50 was crazy with dungeon releases, motherfuckers were doing 3 dungeons every patch so there's 17dungeons at cap or whatever. A few are story so can't do without MSQ but most should be playable right away.
The story starts slightly picking up in 2.3, arrival of new characters and it starts actually going somewhere, although it's still very much fillers. 2.4 starts to get serious and dives deeper into the lore. 2.5 is full of mindfucks and throws you right into Heavensward. So while it is 80quests, they do get better and better over time so it's not THAT bad. Still kinda bad though since you'll have to do random shit for no reason other than filler(getting tea leaves from across the continent because Tataru ran out for example). And 2.2 is also mostly shit, so that's that.

I'm pretty much done doing dungeons on my scholar until the next tome farm comes out but this will allow me to drop some piety off my gear I guess. We will see what the savage set has for piety.
