So I am returning to Guild wars 2 after not playing consistently for about a year. I went through a fiasco a couple months ago with my account being banned for selling in game currency and found that it had been hacked by somebody in China. Well coming back to the game, it is a little different from before but the biggest problem is where to begin. I really love my level 80 Charr Warrior but went from being awesome to literally no armor, weapons or gold. So I just need some advice on where to start from scratch and armor and weapons to aim for. I am also intending to play consistently again so I am interested in guilds. Thanks for the help

Are Support able to roll back your account to before it was hacked? A roll-back is like using System Restore on your account, it resets it to before it was hacked so you get back everything you had but lose everything you’ve gotten since. But if it was hacked a long time ago that might not be possible any more.

If not then first check what other currencies you’ve got. Open your inventory and press the little + in the bottom right corner to open your wallet. You might have enough karma, dungeon tokens or badges of honour to buy some equipment. Maybe not level 80 exotics but something.

If not then your best option is probably to start a new character and use them to get money or karma you can use to get equipment for your level 80.

If you were hacked then you should be able to get an account restoration, unless this has happened before and you used up your one time restore. If you haven’t had a restore before, contact support. They can roll back the account to a point right before the hack.

Assuming account restoration is out of the question (possible considering that it has been a long time now), here are some ideas.

How is your karma?. You can get a full set of exotics from temple armor, temple of grenth gives berserker stats that’s usually the best one for warriors in PvE. You can get a full set for 252000 karma.

You can also buy rare weapons for karma in the cultural vendors, 63k a piece, the warden ones (sylvari, vendor is in the grove) use berserker stats so would complement the armor.

If not enough karma for those, go around orr and buy masterwork (green) armor from karma vendors, it’s a start and will help you start doing events and the like to get some extra money.

If karma is an issue, maybe ask to borrow some money from a friend, you can get a full set of rare armor for 4g, maybe 6 or 7 if you include a weapon and trinkets. That’s more than enough for most content in the game. As an alternative if you’re really desperate is to get white armor from vendors for about 20s, at least it’ll be a start to while you get back on your feet.

Do Edge of the Mists for money/karma/xp/badges of honor. Hit B, join edge of the mists and see if there’s a commander tag, if there’s one, try to get to it and follow the zerg doing events. You also can get armor from drops that way.

Do Edge of the Mists for some extra cash/karma/badges.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.

Oh wow, thanks I didn’t know that they’d “fixed” the problem with the stats for temple armour!

Well, I’m off to Grenth on my charr warrior, a zerker set will go nicely with his knights set.

WARNING: You cannot currently salvage any upgrades from Karma purchased items, so be aware of that before you slap a set of Strength runes on that Zerker set….
