Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I started playing Guild Wars 2 a few weeks ago with a Norn Ranger and now I’m with a Charr Warrior. When I was with the ranger, leveling looked a lot easier, not just because I had the pet, but when I visited a scout, the points that he highlighted continued to be visible to me even after I closed the map, and now with the Charr I just have to remember where the thinks were. The story quests with the ranger were a lot easier too, before if I just had the level to do the story quest, that was enough, but now, I have to get at least 3 level above the level required to do the story quest and I die a lot more than before.

I was wondering too, where I can get better equips? It’s very rare to drop something usable.

You can either buy equips off TP if you have some gold to spare or pick it up through loot. Finishing personal story quests also will give you equips as rewards. I don’t have a charr so i cant personally comment on the story quests but if you can find someone to do them with you to make it easier. Check the warrior subforums for leveling builds and advice might make it easier! Good luck!

Use the Trading Post for your leveling equipment, it’s incredibly cheap. Overall the price of the items tends to be slightly higher than the price of the materials you get from salvaging them, so once you’ve outleveled the equipment, salvage it and sell the materials for minimal loss. It’s unlikely you can keep your toon properly geared with just drops. Trading Post also enables you to more or less chose your stats. Another easy way for some early stats is buying different runes with +10 of a stat of your choice. Early level it makes a great difference.

Keep in mind that Ranger is most likely the easiest class to level due to a pet that can distract your enemies whilst you (if you decide to do so) safely attack from range. Neither does it need gear, it scales by level, so it’s never undergeared. How-ever once you’re used to it, warrior shouldn’t be too difficult.

Other things you could do is equip some signets (they work great with the Arms trait; I Deep strikes whilst leveling) whilst providing some easy increased damage and survivability. Or maybe try some other weapons to see if they’re more your kind of thing.

Thanks guys, the thing about Trading Post worked, it was just my equipment that was obsolete.
