Guild Wars 2

Alright, so I’m trying to completely explore the Plains of Ashford and I noticed there is a POI in or on a hill in the Old Duke’s Estate area. I couldn’t seem to figure out how to get on top of it so I look the POI up in the wiki and find out it’s called Barradin’s Vaults.

Is this the area that the opening Charr story takes place in? This is my only guess on how to get inside of it and I’m afraid I may have somehow not gotten credit for exploring it during that opening story event.

Can anyone clarify this? If I’m wrong about it being in the opening story event, how do I get on top of this hill?

Seperate Note: A Rich Copper Node spawned half way up and on the side of this hill and the slope is way too steep to stand on/climb to. wtf right?

You can go back into the vaults in Plains of Ashford. The entrance is near where all those earth elementals spawn.

I completed the map on a human. I can’t recall exactly how I got that PoI, but did you actually get back to the underground area you got to on the initial mission? Isn’t the PoI right there where you fought the ghost? Also, please notice that if a PoI is above or below you, you will see a small arrow next to it. Does this PoI have an arrow pointing down?

About the copper node. Every node I bothered to go to so far, I managed to get to it. Even if it looks impossible, there is a detour of some sort that lets you get to it. It’s the same principle as on vistas. Many times they look impossible to get to, but they have a hidden solution to it, not so obvious at first.

Thank you guys, turns out the entrance is a way off to the west, teleporting to the “Vault Waypoint” put me at the underground entrance and I just had to work my way through the tunnels to the POI.

As for the copper node, I’m still stumped but it’s not exactly a big deal.

Ive seen that copper node too. After watching about 10 people trying and failing to reach it I left.

As for the PoI, im not sure why everyone has such problems with it. In order to actually reach it you have to go through a waypoint that is also underground, with a direct route to it. Unless… does the waypoint unlock when you’re above the surface? Because that needs to be changed if it does. I cant imagine people not exploring the full extent of the tomb if they have to get that waypoint by entering it.
