Guild Wars 2

I have never been to Orr. I got to 60 , then went from 60-80 in WvW.

I am looking for Exotic Karma vendors, people tell me it’s in Orr. Is there a boat to take to Orr?

Thanks,

Go south! LA to Bloodtide Coast to Sparkfly Glen to Straits of Devastation.

http://gw2.mmorpg-life.com/interactive-maps/ has a great overview map of the world and you can even click the individual squares to see what’s in each zone if you don’t mind spoilers.

Warning: The karma vendors are in the temples, which take a large group to clear out and make accessible. And even then life can suck. I have enough karma for a full set of Orr exotics. Last night I was alerted that Lyssa was open, that being the rune I want, so I hopped down there. Bad move. It seems that right after it’s cleared, the vendor is there but the mobs move back in so you can’t buy stuff unless someone else is fighting them off. I lived a while thanks to many dodges and stealths, but there was no freaking way I could stay by the vendor long enough to even see which section was the medium armor, let alone buy any.

I love the game but that seemed some of the dumbest design I’ve ever seen.

As a side note, it is worth mentioning that “Orr” is actually a combination of 3 maps (with room to expand)

“Straights of Devistation” “Malchor’s Leap” and “Cursed Shore” Are the 3 maps that are considered “Orr.”

You can’t just run to ORR. You have to fight mobs every step of the way….and if you die, start all over Most of the waypoints will be contested along the way. Its not a relaxing fun to explore type area.

Wow, why is it so hard…. I just want to buy exotic from the karma vendor. Don’t tell me different exotic vendors is located in a different place? Or are they all at the same temple?

Sorry to break it to you but they are all in different temples (Cathedrals) which are spread over the three maps of Orr. I would suggest you use the wiki to locate the specific set you want (if you only want bits from one set) and then head down there. When you get onto the map have a look to see if the cathedral is contested, if it is do a shout out in chat to see if you can get a group together to take it back.

Make sure you have the karma you need before heading down there. Orr isn’t that bad when you get used to it, but its always a good idea to have a plan.

Edit: Try this link, under exotic karma armor. These vendors sell other things too so be sure to check their vendor lists in case there’s anything else you want when you get down there

I like this interactive map for some things, though it’s out of date in some respects, it’s fast to move around.

As others have said, you just head south out of LA and you’ll get there.

It’s hard because it’s the end-game area. It’s supposed to be where people who have finished everything else go to find a challenge (alongside WvW and PVP). Similarly the armor you can buy there is not supposed to be easy to get, the challenge is part of what makes it special.

Here is a good article showing the stats for each of the temple karma armour sets so you can work out which you want. It also shows where to get each kind.

They all look the same but have different stats and runes, so you can mix and match if you want e.g. I got Aurora for the Legs and the rest was all Rubicon.

Looking at this map – http://gw2cartographers.com/

Ruins of Orr (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ruins_of_Orr) is an area of Tyria which combines the following explorable zones:

- Straits of Devastation (lv 70-75)
- Malchor’s Leap (lv 75-80)
- Cursed Shore (lv 80)

It can be accessed south of Sparkfly Fen or west of Mount Maelstrom
