Guild Wars 2

What do these dungeons entail and how difficult are they. I don’t have alot of friends to play with on gw2 so I wanted to know what it would take to do these dungeons at level 30.

Or if their are guilds that would be willing to help a new player run them and be willing to teach.

If you group up with other players from the same levelrange, these dungeons tends to be quiet challenging. If you really want to do them at your current level I’d recommend you to buy the best gear available for your level.

But you can also wait until you are level 80 and do these dungeons.

Difficulty – Dungeons are a step up from open world content. Their difficulty is based on your level and knowledge (of the dungeon and your class). Entering AC story mode at level 30 with other level 30’s will be more challenging than entering at level 80, but it’s still completely doable. Dungeons are split into two types. Story mode and Explorable mode. Story mode serves as an introduction to dungeons and specifically the type of enemies and such in the dungeon. Explorable is a more challenging experience to story providing more mechanics and difficult enemies.

There is an LFG tool in the game (open your friends list and it’s the second tab down). You can either create your own group (an advert like “Story 1st timer” or something should be ok) or join groups that state “Story” or “Story all welcome”.

Guild wise there are generally a few out there that are willing to help and teach people. Are you on NA or EU servers? If you’re on EU then message me in game and we can try to sort something out. Otherwise check out https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dungeon-Mentors-Noob/first#post3492401

Hope this helps!

To add, when you see a LFG saying “p1” (or another number) or “full run” or “all paths” they mean Explorable. I recommend you start with doing story mode first (in LFG you’ll see people asking for “story” or “story mode”). Story is very easy, Explorable mode is a tad harder, especially if you’re a low level with bad gear. It’s still doable though, just make sure to tell people you’re new beforehand so they can explain the mechanics to you, rather than you going in blind and messing everything up. Not everyone assumes you’re now just because you have low AP and are a lowbie. I met a lot of people with low AP and low levels who played like veterans, they probably had a second account. So I always assume you know what to do unless people say otherwise.

You CAN..but I would recommend to be a little higher as for 20 lvl’s different in compare to the dungeon you want

There is several things that will make dungeon hard or easier

- What level you are
- What quality of gear you have
- Your knowledge of the dungeon
- Your team

For exemple, when the game started we all had bad gear were low level and the entire team didn’t have a clue how things work in dungeon. Some took us 3 hours to complete, and sometimes we failed completing it. Now at level 80 and a team fully geared and a good knowledge of those dungeon we can do them in less than 15min with some record go as low at less than 5min. So you see the difference in difficulty can vary greatly.

So you have two main choice when it come to dungeon. Either you stay away from them until level 80 then gear in rare and ask for help in LFG or in the forums for ppl that can explain to you. Ask it because if you only ask for ppl to do the dungeon, they may not be ready to explain to you, they may only carry you while you have no idea what is going on or they can be mad if you didn’t tell them that it was your first time.

The other option is to go right aways in the dungeon as soon as you have the level for it. It will be harder and you will depend even more on your team. It will be doable, but you will be totally carried by your team. Again find some nice ppl to explain to you what’s going on in LFG, or the forums. Knowledge on the dungeon is THE major point for a nice smooth run.
