Hey all!

(Note that I have been absence from this game for the past month or so, so honestly… I have no idea what’s going on.) I’m finally going to have some free time this weekend and I really want to try SAB. Knowing how these events can be, would a level 40-ish be alright? Am I able to solo it, or will I be required to have a group?

I’m super excited to give it a shot. Thanks!

here’s the thing.. you should be fine once you get the hang of it.. it’s the same if you’re level 2 or level 80. so no problem if you’re 40 ^^
i would suggest you do your first run with a group or if you’re confident to try it on your own, go infantile mode for 1st time(once you enter past moto and coin scene, there’s a cloud on your right). besides that it’s like any old platform game from the 90’s. you got your enemies that have a bad AI, some jumping to go along with that, some chests that contain a prize, and a boss fight at the end which will give you prizes.
there are 2 types of common prizes.. from mobs you get baubles which you can carry a total of 250(500 if you have upgraded bag but that’s another story) and from boss chests you get bauble bubble which you have to collect 50 to get a skin from moto in rata sum(next to SAB entrance). there is also a chance to get a random skin from boss chests. but it’s fairly rare.. i’ve read somewhere that drop rate is like 1 in 50 chests.. give or take you can also exchange 250 baubles for 1 bauble bubble(moto-rata sum).
best you can do once you finish that infantile mode is to check out this guy http://dulfy.net/2013/04/01/gw2-super-adventure-box-guide/ he’s got an excellent guide for SAB.

flip trough the forums, read some guides, and you’ll be doing speed runs in a couple of hours!
and most importantly.. HAVE FUN doing it

You don’t need a group for any bit of it. Just do infantile mode to get the general idea and then go back on normal.

I’ve just finished getting all the achievements, having gotten all the items earlier and I’ve never been in a group. I’d recommend playing on infantile mode at first, and use your baubles for weapon upgrades (I found the whip the most useful).

But once you get the hang of it most of it’s relatively easy, although getting all the baubles for the achievements is tricky.
