Guild Wars 2

Land, Water and Air.

Introducing Achievements with gear in an effort to encourage people away from running with the zerg. Some of the achievements would promote the use of using siege items. Other achievements encourage things like gaining the help of the Quaggan or gathering food for a feast.

Firstly I would add 2 new recipes to the cooking trade:

1. Water Buff – Diplomatic Drinks: Swim faster for 2 hours, persists through death.

2. Air Buff – Siege Master Meal: + damage while using siege for 2 hours, persists through death.

3. Land Buff – Stats boost: This is already available through cooking.

Quaggan/Water
After handing in your pearls the quaggan go to a keep. I would have it that the Quaggan perform Summoning Strike (when summoned, Quaggan cause lightning to hit the gate which they run to.)That gate would then lose a % of its current HP possibly as much as 20%. This gives those outmanned on a map the benefit of using the quaggan to assist in damaging a keep door or all three keeps all at once.

Only one gate of each keep would be hit by the lightning. It would therefore be in my best interests to claim the quaggan aid nearest to the bay if my server held the bay. This would mean that then we claim the quaggan defensively and they do not hit the bay gate with lightning.

Once neutral all servers would then have a given time perhaps five minutes or less to hand in their pearls and claim the aid of the quaggan. Allowing the pearls to perish in your inventory if not handed in after 20 minutes could be a good idea here as it would mean that the server which neutralised the power node would gain the upper hand if they had prepared and had gathered pearls
.
? Diplomat/Water Achievement – Gain the aid of the Quaggan/Ogres 500 times.
Reward – Quaggan Gear, Exotic equivalent with Diplomatic drinks food buff (faster swim speed). Also Quaggan/Ogre title “ The Diplomat”

Siege/Air Buff

To encourage the use of using siege in WvW I would have this set of gear to be very impressive looking.

Siege master Achievement – Destroy 500 walls/gates using siege or while using siege destroy enemy siege 500 times.

Reward = Siege master gear, Exotic equivalent with Siege master food buff (+ damage for using siege). Also “Siege master” title.

Gathering Food Resources/ Land Buff

To encourage people to go out roaming and gathering food to create a feast. Each time you gather a herb or food in WvW you gain a food resource token. Collect 50 of these to create a feast. Feasts provide a 2 hour stats buff increase for all that eat from it. Additionally when someone places a feast they gain “leftovers” a personal feast buff which is soul bound.

WvW Cook Achievement – Create 100 Feasts.
Reward – Cook outfit, Exotic equivalent with + stats boost buff and Cook Title.

Veteran

This gear set would be the most impressive looking as it requires a lot of achievements to gain it. When wearing it you are given all three WvW buffs, Stats, faster swim speed and + damage when using siege. The buffs are constant and do not stack with the crafted buffs. This gear would not be overpowered as anyone can make or farm the two hour crafted buffs.

WvW Veteran Achievement – Complete Siege master, Diplomat and WvW cook Achievements. Land Water and Air Achievements.

Reward – WvW Veteran Gear, Exotic equivalent with all 3 WvW food buffs active. Siege master meal, Diplomatic drinks and stats boost . Also gain the “Veteran” title.
