Guild Wars 2

Here is my hastily compiled list of quick ways to get your PvE daily done.

It has gotten to a point where I only log in to do dailies for the laurels so if you’re in the same situation, this is for you.

Feel free to share some of your own.

Getting these done should merely take 10 to 20min, depending on how much you alt-tab out of boredom while waiting for respawns.

Recycler: Buy a full stack of a salvageable item such as hard leather straps, keep in bag.

Cond remover: Karka spit barrage applies cripple each hit, go get pounded by one and spam cond removal. (CAUTION ELES: A FULL BARRAGE WILL LIKELY KILL YOU)
If you’re scared of karkas, there are some spiders in Gendarran – east of the entrance to LA in a small forested area.

Skill interrupter: Those mobs mentioned above are easy to interrupt. Personally, I run around Southsun Shoals and daze any karkas trying to unload their barrage, without killing ‘em to save time unless there’s daily kills/krytan kills. Yeah, SS is a part of the Kryta region.

Daily leveler: Run any quick dungeon path.

Cond applier: idk, just target smth and press some random buttons, you have a wide selection of 1-5.

Dodger: Dodge karka spit barrage.
An alternative for those with karkaphobia: Dodge the cripplinggroundelestaffnumber4skill the earth elementals use outside Black Citadel in Plains of Ashford, they’re above the vault or smth.

Daily kills: Go on a rampage in any low lvl zone, the Queensdale swamp is a nice place filled with squishy fireflies and other pests. Perhaps find some wolves that summons additional ones, barracudas does that as well I think. Line ‘em up then wtfpwn and you’ll have 50 kills in no time.

Daily zone-specific/aquatic kills/: Same as above, go nuts in lowbie zones.

Ambient Killer: Plenty of stuff in QD swamp, especially in the middle scattered around the house.

Skill pt accumulator: Save all scroll of knowledge you get, I always keep a stack in my bags.

Gatherer: Get the stuff in your home instance (assuming you have some nodes), there’s always a rich copper vein in the ettin cave near oak in QD or w/e fav spot, these are my usual destinations.

Events: Anyone know some spot with lots of events for that daily? They usually take too much time/too boring tho.

Reviver: Same as above: boringtimeconsuming, if you insist or simply enjoy ressing, goto the reactor where the fire ele spawns – wow, how could the name of that place slip my mind. However, I’m sure there are probably way better and less crowded spots.

Happy dailying

The legendary dredge generals in Frostgorge each count as a separate event. You can just run through that area and kill all the generals + commissar and that’ll be daily.

Very helpful list. I’ve been slacking on my daily on my alt account but this definitly makes it worth it.

Reviver: There’s a heart in Gendarran Fields at The Bloodfields that has a lot of fallen seraph to rez quickly.

Events: I find Harathi Hinterlands to be a great spot for endless events. The centaurs are always stirring up trouble.

Reviver: Nageling in Diessa Plateau is usually filled with downed allies and you can also take on the Giant (he counts toward Giant Killer Achievement).

I usually go to the hot join pvp, I enter in a match that already started and when it ends I go to another match already started, usually in about 15 mins I have daily dodger, cond applier/remover, daily pvp matches, daily point/pvp kills , so usually around 4 dailies are done there, then I log in a few alts parked near rich ore nodes and finish the gather daily.

My way isn’t the faster way, but gives a good amount of gold in the long run, more AP since complete other dailies end happening naturally (daily kills, daily leveler, daily event) besides the APs from the pvp tab, and now with the track system you get tons of skill scrolls for even easier daily.

In Dredgehaunt Cliffs there are quite some quick events where you only need to kill just a veteran, however since Megaserver they are often done by others now.

Dodger : Ice worms .. dodging their projectiles always counts for 2 .. just use ranged weapons on them and dodge whenever they shot.

Conditions : Arctodus often give you 4 stacks of bleed .. remove them counts for 4.

Found this very fast way one day when time was running out.

Condition Damage: Walk next to enemy zerg in EotM. Takes 2 seconds to do Condition Removal and 4 seconds to die.

Added the following to main post:

Skill interrupter: run around Southsun Shoals and daze or whatever interrupt any karkas trying to unload their barrage, without killing ‘em to save time unless there’s daily kills/krytan kills. Yeah, SS is a part of the Kryta region.

Daily leveler: Run any quick dungeon path.

Easiest way to get Interrupter is to fight Breeze Riders with a pistol thief. They restart their attacks immediately after being interrupted so you can spam Head Shot back to back and get 3-4 interrupts just like that.

Condition cleanse:
Necro – 3 Corruption utility skills, spam on self or target, then Consume Condition (or transfer to a target if that’s part of the dailies).

Easier versions:

Interrupter: Go find a Rider (Breeze, Storm, whatever) type enemy and spam Head Shot on it. It will always attempt to attack again immediately after being interrupted so you can get multiple interrupts in a row super easily.

Remover: Go to Lowland Burns (where Shatterer spawns) and stand next to one of those Chaos Storm bush things. They will apply a random condition every second making it super easy to cleanse 5+ conditions in one shot using whatever fast-cooldown mass removal skills your class has.

Dodger: Go to any area with Dredge Resonators (i.e. the big dredge base in Frostgorge). They will do their wave attack repeatedly which you can dodge backwards through for 3-4 dodges per shot.

Events: The Legendary Dredge Generals in Frostgorge Sound are 4 easy-to-kill veterans who each count as an event. Killing them spawns the Commissar General who counts as a 5th. Unfortunately if someone else has killed any of them you need to wait for the chain to reset but it’s worth checking out when you log in.

Daily Leveler: If you’ve got an empty character slot, roll a new alt and rush thru some quick story content. I can bang out levels 1-5 in <30 mins.

The Flame Legion Igniter’s flame attack can you get you six or seven dodges in a row, and the veteran shaman event at God’s Eye in Fireheart Rise also gets you an event along with it.

There’s a tunnel of critters just inside Straits of Devastation that respawns fairly quickly, and a ton of them in the northern supply camp of any Borderlands map, though I recommend you pick your home server’s.

The quicksand in Dry Top or Healing Rain on a zerg in combat works excellently for condition remover, and dumping any Well skill or Dagger Storm on a ton of enemies will probably get you applier in one move.

The Frozen Maw chain – supplies, escort, totem, vet/shamans, portals, champ – repeats often and has more than enough to cover if you miss a couple of its events due to zerg syndrome.

There are two rich platinum nodes in Mount Maelstrom, one in the water beneath the seaweed directly west of the platform where Golem MkII spawns, and one around the middle of the far left wall near the renown heart that bugged champ-health normal spider event is around, up some mild cliffs. The waypoint in the bottom left of Southsun, the always uncontested one, has a lot of t5 nodes and trees nearby and usually a couple of t6s.

Thaumanova Reactor is an excellent place to get kill variety as well as reviver. Don’t try to get it in Orr (stupid risen giants not counting for giant killer as well).

A necro using warhorn 4, staff 5 and death shroud 3 or a dual mace wielding warrior has three interrupts, and the breath attack adult drakes have is very, VERY easy to interrupt.

Finally skill point scrolls and level tomes if you’re really pressed for time.

PVP dailies: Play three games

WvW dailies: Join a decent zerg for an hour

Dodger- Caledon Forest where the red hylek set up camp just south of the northeasternmost fort. I get close to a Nahuali, back off, and dodge his 5 at a time blowdart attacks, and his jump attacks. Three rounds of successful dodges and I am done.

Ambient Killer- I made a youtube video on this one. As an engi I equip the flamethrower and run around the Issormir skill point area, killing ravens. A favorite for Pittsburgh Steeler fans everywhere.

Events- When in doubt, go to wayfarer foothills. Between Lunt antagonizing the dredge, Sons of Svanir attacking Bear shrine, and the string of events at the homestead with the five million snowball throwing kids, you should have it done in no time.

Reviver- As mentioned above, Nageling, your source for convenient dead people. Other areas I found- Iron Marches just north of where the current living story has you fighting mordrem. There is a line of charr always getting killed by tar elemental type things… Or go to Diessa Plateau and hang out near the ghosts. Those blood legion guys never seem to stay alive.

Skill Interrupter- Any drake will do. Their breath takes a long warm up timer, which is the perfect time to smack them with something that will interrupt them.

Daily Kills- Pretty much any zone where an event is happening. Some of my faves include the bandit events in Queensdale, fighting wolves while escorting the charr rancher and his cows in Diessa plateau, or anything tied to the living story as of Episode 3. ….. And moas. My dailies are not complete unless I have barbecued a bunch of moas, especially the ones that travel in flocks.

Veteran Killer- Caledon Forest in Wytchmire Swamp… Mosshearts. Diessa Plateau giant wurm south of the Meatoberfest area.

For Daily dodger: now that the new leveling system is live, there is a dodging tutorial in every starting map – a circle that you can dodge into and out of, spikes try to damage you each time you dodge so i usually get 2 evades with 1 dodge. No need to wait for anything this way, you can just dodge in and out as soon as your endurance regenerates.

nice, i love this

Daily has changed since the last patch. If someone can make a new post or update this list, it will be great.

Either update or delete this thread — dailies are not like this anymore.

I would much like a list of best locations to get the various location gather dailies.

Here’s a tutorial video of what I do to complete my daily fast. I hope it helps some of you.

Why is this a sticky?

I would much like a list of best locations to get the various location gather dailies.

For herbs :

Kryta -> Salad field next to Beetletun ( http://gw2.mmorpg-life.com/beetletun-waypoint/40552/ )
Ascalon -> potatoe field at Loreclaw Waypoint ( http://gw2.mmorpg-life.com/loreclaw-waypoint/7060/ )
Orr -> around Fort Trinity (http://gw2.mmorpg-life.com/plinth-timberland-waypoint/32159/)

Wood and ore .. just run through some zones you are familiar with. For shiverpeaks
thats always Dredgehaunt Cliffs or Timberline Falls for me

Beetletun is also the easiest Kryta Vista.

Why waste time in combat areas for gathering?? ANY “Home Instance” can be set with lumber, ore, and forage so that everything can be gathered in a single place. Yes, if you don’t have the gold, you may need to venture afield for (1) item. Also, ALL of the Home Sites (Rata Sum, Holbrak, Lion’s Arch, etc) have easy to find and reach Vistas- no need to traverse afar for that daily either!

Why is this a sticky?

Because one of my friends started playing Guild Wars 2 and didn’t even realize a daily system existed, even though they were level 80 for about 2 weeks.
