Guild Wars 2

To be honest, I’m not exactly new here, I’ve own Guild Wars 2 for quite a while. I play it now and then, but I’m enjoying it more than ever after I reached lv 30. I did some research on leveling and builds. I’m playing a condition thief and he’s lv 43 now. A random guild invited me but it seems like no one is ever online, so I can’t ask them for help. So I’ve got a some questions that I’d like to ask.

1. Is the condition build a good choice for a thief? FYI I’m soloing ALOT.
2. I want to try out the first dungeon but there’s no one willing to help me. Is it too early for me to enter the dungeon?
3. What do I do in WvW?
4. Should I find another guild? If so, how? (I’m in Yak’s Bend)
5. I’m leveling by doing heart quests, dynamic events and gathering. Is that the best way?
6. What armor should i aim for?
7. Should I try to max out the level, or do it gradually and enjoy exploring first? (BTW I love exploring in this game, it’s very well designed.)

Thank you in advance!

1 – You may want to ask on the thief subforum. I prefer a sword/dagger build in PvE, myself.
2 – If you meet the suggested level for the dungeon, it is not to early (despite what some might try to tell you). As for looking for a group for dungeons, you may want to try using GW2LFG.
3 – Fight well and help your team! For more suggestions than that, you may want to check out the WvW subforum.
4 – How you manage your guild(s) is up to you. If you are seeking, though, you may want to check in the Guilds subforum.
5 – The best way to level is by doing what you enjoy, be it heart quests, dynamic events, gathering, crafting, dungeons, or just exploration.
6 – Armor stats depend entirely on what build you are running.
7 – You will hit max level without trying to hard, so you don’t need to worry overmuch. Just enjoy the game and you should hit 80 before you realize it. ^.^

Thanks! I’ll check out the sub forums, one more question though. Should I focus on crafting? I find myself making a lot of cash by selling the materials on the outpost.

I don’t really know much about the thief class, so I cant help you there. In WvW, you should usually look on the map and find a commander icon, people rally to commanders so the action’s usually around them. The way your leveling is fine, but try finishing every zone your PS takes you through, you get better rewards, XP, and transmorg stones, the gear is usually garbage though.

Your right about exploring, dont just plow through every zone, trying to get to the max-lvl, there are alot of places you can find that dont have a heart, skill point or poi near them, like jumping puzzles!

You can make some money crafting blue items. Can make even more with rare items, if done right. You’ll practically always lose money crafting greens. Basically, it is up to you. You can make some money and save some money, but it is up to if you like crafting.

IMO, you generally lose money if you are thinking of crafting stuff to sell on the Trading Post – you are better off selling the materials that craft those stuff directly because you will earn a profit.

Crafting for most people, is a way to level their character, and to craft exotics for their own use (or for their friends). In fact, if you don’t want to level that quickly, don’t do any crafting. Most gears you want to craft can actually be bough cheaply from the Trading Post (cheaper than if you would craft them yourself).

I actually made money while crafting, amazingly enough.

I bet if you sell those mats individually instead of crafting them, you earn a bit more.

Nope! I did the math. Like I said before, I lost money crafting the greens, but made more than enough to make up for it with the rares and blues.
