Guild Wars 2

Currently I’m trying to get enough gold to buy my first exotic weapons.

However, the wiki says there is some WvW vendor who sells exotic too, yet I never played WvW. I know I have a lot of badges from achievements, so currency may not be an issue, but the wiki also says you must be lvl 14 in WvW to access this vendor..

So, what I need to know first is if there are other ways to get exotic weapons? And second, if you guys agree WvW vendors are the best way to get them, so how long takes to reach lvl 14? I really don’t like PvP, so what should I do to quickly reach this lvl (just to get the vendor)?

You can buy exotic weapons with dungeon tokens, after you’ve done enough runs to get enough for a weapon; the vendor for that is in Lion’s Arch near the wvw portals. The exotic weapons in wvw still cost gold, as well as the badges, I believe; the dungeon weapons only cost the tokens for that particular dungeon. You can also craft exotic weapons on a level 400 Huntsman, Artificer, or Weaponsmith; which discipline you use depends on what weapon you’re trying to make.

Dungeon tokens, PvP dungeon reward tracks, WvW dungeon reward tracks.

The WvW weapons are 198 badges for 2h and 132 badges for 1h plus 1g. Badges can be converted to Badge of Tributes and sold. At current prices that means the WvW exotic weapons cost 2g57s90c for 1h and 3g36s85c for 2h. If you don’t like PvP type activities then Edge of the Mist is probably easiest to get to rank 14.

Also, you have badges from achievements, but you don’t have a character that’s at least level 14? Or are you just misunderstanding what they mean by “level 14”? Level 14 just means level 14, like in PvE.

Rank 14 from WvW not level 14.

Oh really? I guess I haven’t paid attention to the vendor changes. My bad on that.

Probably around the same time as when the Gift of Battle started requiring r14.

I think there are a lot of level 80 exotic weapons available for under 2 gold (I’d have to go in game to check the TP to be sure), so you could get one a day off the TP just by doing dailies if you don’t want the most popular stats. The other suggestions in the thread are also good.

WvW ranks are not hard to get, just join a EoTM train… it’s essentially a PvE zerg with the occasional zerg v zerg encounter. Pop a WXP booster and you’re set.

Otherwise, this has a comprehensive list of how to get almost every weapon:

Play 1 or 2 games of unranked PvP each day, many of the tracks give an selectable exotic weapon as a final reward. This also yields around 2 of the 3 dailies within say 15mins.

The dungeon tracks award weapons along the way, at each 25% mark. They give a piece of armor at completion.

Thanks for the clarifications, now my confusion is gone.
