Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I have been trying to level through Fractals for sometime, to get to 50 or as close to 50 as possible. As things stand, I’m at level 18 and it’s been a very slow crawl to get to this point. I’ve generally done random LFG and have had little success with it. Generally I land players who lack AR altogether, quit after immediately going down, or just take an excruciatingly long time to complete a fractal (I’ve had some single instances end up over an hour+ )

Where would be my best bet to go in order to find a group to either help me level or level alongside me to higher levels? As things stand, LFG is a very big gamble that often works against me at this point.

Hiya, my name is sarah
I would love to help you level through fractals. Two questions: which server ( na or eu ) are you on? And how much ar do you have?

Im on na, I will add you after work and if your free we may even be able to get a fractal in!

Hello Sarah, thank you for the offer! I am on NA servers. I have 10 AR at the moment. I’d like to grab another ascended ring soon for another versatile AR infusion soon, but that may require me to run a few lower tier fractals for some Pristine Relics.

Sweet! Ill catch you online later hopefully. I will be free in 5hrs and I have tomorrow off

Ps: Open invite to everyone btw

Try to always run at your level or above. Try to get to 500 crafts for ascended gear as soon as possible.

It’s okay to run more than once per day, if you’re just trying to rank up.

My personal advice and experience is that groups are actually better at 20+ then they are at 10 – 19 range.

Reason? People think they can get by with no AR or only 5 AR at this range. They are also still learning what they are doing.

My advice? Get enough AR to run 20+ and never look back.

I feel your pain when it comes to using LFG. I generally have poor luck too. I’m not interested in so-called speed runs, or skipping/stacking things, which makes it hard to find a decent group.

Add me for the Fractal adventures too. I’m currently at Personal Level 39 (with 60 AR on Thief and 50 AR on mesmer [i prefer taking my mes to higher levels], also have an ele with 25AR I enjoy taking along to level 20’s or under) and would love to help out. I enjoy running them regardless of level, there’s always loot and fun times to be had

first, there is no such thing as a fractal speed run. the devs more or less successfully eliminated long sprints with numerous trash mobs and there is a purpose to killing almost everything (with a couple exceptions, thaumanova being a big one).

second, ar has been successful at high levels as an experience gate, so in general pugging 38/40/49/50 thru lfg gives you an acceptable group of people who know what theyre doing. people stack out of necessity, because it makes groups of mobs easier to aoe, its easier to share boons, and since someone will down at some point its far easier to rez. if you arent finding decent groups when you can approach 40s and 49s, its because you arent reaching out to your party and talking without raging.

Thank you for the feedback everyone. I would love to try and run some fractals with those of you who offered. My class schedule is kind of hectic right now, so go ahead and just send me a friend invite in-game and we’ll try to work something out.
