Guild Wars 2

Is it the end of key farming as of September 9th? Are the skins only going to get more and more expensive?

How is this new Personal Story experience on Chinese Clients, anyone know? Still a Key reward after completing or what?

“personal story starts at level 10”

So the question is how long it takes to get to level 10.

You more or less reach level 5 when keyfarming right now, and that’s 15-20 minutes. However, that’s including experience from doing the Personal Story itself.

Anyway, using this as an (extremely) rough guess, it’ll take 30-40 minutes to get to level 10. Add another 10 minutes to do your Personal Story steps, and it’ll be 40-50 minutes for each key.

So expect Black Lion weapons to significantly increase in price on the TP.

Without the exp from the story you can normaly make maybe 2 level per hour, so
for me it seems it will then take maybe 5+ hours for a run.

I think Beldin’s estimate is much more likely. To reach level 5 in 15-20 minutes was by doing personal story, which gives a lot of experience and was fast. To do it by events, you have to run around in the starter area finding and doing events. Finding takes time. Doing takes time. And the cherry on top, you don’t get as much exp as you get for doing a personal story.

I would say 2 levels an hour is fast. Knowing where events are and grinding them out.

I’ve got the answer: buy dungeon runs. You get roughly 66% – 75% of your experience bar filled with each run (not sure the exact number). 12-13 runs should get you to level 10.

The price of Black Lion weapons will go up so I’m thinking you’d be able to buy runs and still profit in the end.

Wow thats horrible, feel sorry for anyone not lvl 15 trying to use a skill

Worse idea ever.

For normal leveling it is fast .. however i often read you can do that in EotM.

Was never there personally since i avoid everything that has to do with PvP
like the devil avoids holy water, since i played Aion.

With enough demand for buying dungeon runs and enough sellers, you might be able to just buy run after run consecutively in a relatively short time span.

EotM is fast leveling, but it’ll still take an LONG time. Plus, with all the whiners complaining about EotM as a karma train, I’d expect a massive nerf soon.

China client (allegedly) has that. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1wqsf7/guild_wars_2_china_server_difference/
Nothing about it in this blog for us though.

OK but what about the reward? Is it still a KEY? Or did they change the rewards?

Not sure (haven’t heard otherwise with respect to the China version), but for sure they would like you to get hooked on the Black Lion gambling as soon as possible. Giving a free taste with a free key is a good way to do that.

I’m hoping that the changes announced next week will include a change to BLTC chests; particularly, making the chests more valuable and more worth spending real money to open. Who would buy a BLTC key right now?

“We felt having scraps were far to complicated as they confused new players into thinking they could buy a skin. As such we felt it best to remove scraps entirely.”
