Guild Wars 2

Since I haven’t played in like a Year.

I know that in WoW(and other games), you can do things like Access the Auction House, Guild Chat, browse item databases and things like that while outside of the game, on a website, or a mobile app.

does GW2 have anything like this, besides the Official Wiki linked at the top of this site?

basically looking for something similar to Wowhead, and a way to at least view the Trading Post and things like that.

I looked on the Google Play Store for apps, and the vast majority of them seem to be Event Timers, and I’m not sure which ones are the most popular/used/respected/trusthworthy.

so I’m asking you guys, which apps/websites are considered the “Essentials”? most popular, most used, and actively maintained/developed, I mean.

gw2tp and gw2spidy for tp stuff.

beyond that dulfy and the wiki are all i would imagine youd need.

is dulfy an item database?

edit nm, I see that Curse has a GW2 section and database.

When they set up the Megaservers, it killed all the apps where you could find events by map and server and nodes by map and server. The apps haven’t recovered from this change. If you want regular events now, you have to hunt for them. If you want orichalcum or ancient wood, the same. You have to hunt for them daily.

The boss timer I use is http://howar31.github.io/GW2Timer/ I don’t know if there are better ones. This one has it’s flaws, but it’s adequate.

If you want to follow WvW there are a few app out there such as this one. http://wvwintel.com

gw2skills.net or intothemists.com are both good skill calcs, and both (I think) up to date. They’re very useful for figuring out potential builds.

If you do WvW, gw2score.com or mos.millenium.org are both good sites for keeping track of timers and scores.

Other than that, pretty much just what RlyOsim listed. Can’t think of any other sites that are essential atm.

Edit: More in-depth, Dulfy is a must-have for info on new content as it comes out. Pictures or videos of new cash shop stuff, dev livestream notes, patch notes, guides on living story/event content and achievements…I always rush to Dulfy on patch days to check out the new stuff.

Fixed the Dulfy info for you.

Dulfy also has a very accurate world boss timer. Before you ask though, there are a couple bosses that aren’t on it (flame shaman and ogre chief) and since defense events actually succeed now, temples aren’t on it either.
