Guild Wars 2

I have no idea why, but I havnt played this game in about 2 years and now I’m coming back because I convinced a friend to give the game a try. When I logged on however, I was really overwhelmed trying to remember everything. I was wondering if anyone could remind me of important things that everyone should know, but are normally explained as you play. Not things like specific char powers and stuff, I can read all that in my Hero window. Im talking about things like what is and isnt shared account wide, are materials in my collection usable from the bank, can my high level char help my low levels, and what am I supposed to do with the extreme over abundance of hero points I have? Anything else you think I should know would also be appreciated.

P.S. Anyone know a good place I can get high capacity bags? That was one problem I remember having. I tried the trading post but I only have 6g to my name and everything on there is really expensive.

Thanks

During Halloween, you can earn Candy Corn (from Trick-or-Treat bags) in the Labyrinth (and level up lower-level characters) and purchase 20-slot bags with that Material.

Many Materials can be used from the bank. You can use Hero Points for Elite Specializations if/when Heart of Thorns is acquired.

You can try the Stickies in the Players Helping Players sub-forum, and/or the Wiki for tips and information. You could read through the Releases pages (link above) or read the Patch Notes accessed via the front page or the Wiki.

Welcome return.

Items in the collections tab of the bank can be used at crafting stations without first removing them from the bank. Everything else you need to have on you to use such as using the Mystic Forge.

Skins, miniatures, dyes, and outfits are account bound and accessible from your hero panel once unlocked. Note that purchased skins from the gem store are physical items that include a baked in transmutation charge while the version in the wardrobe tab will require a transmutation charge and not use the item even if you have it on you.

You get 3 to 4 candy corn from every ToT bag and you can farm the Halloween labyrinth for hundred or more ToT bags per hour IF you are running with a large group and tagging as many mobs as possible, so equipping a weapon with a multi-target 1 power is best as well as running up near the front so you can get a tag in.

Note you need 3000 candy corn to create a 20 slot Halloween Pail. The basic 20 slot bag/pack/box can cost anywhere from 10-18 gold to craft or 13 to 17 gold to buy off the TP. You can sell 3000 candy corn for roughly 17g.
