So I’ve played other large MMO’s for a while now and always found it difficult to get used to Gw1 and Gw2 (storywise). I just hit level 80 on my first char today and don’t really have any idea how to gear. I’ve found out that there are several Karma vendors around Orr that sell exotic pieces that I really like.
I went there earlier only to find that the areas are crawling with enemies and constant AoE bombardment. How on earth do I get to the vendors?
I’ve asked in chat for help but had absolutely no response from anyone (not even seen anyone speak since I arrived). Do I really need to wait for people to come to get access to the vendors?

TIA

Go to the temple you want, log out there, guest to another server that has the temple open, log in, buy armors. Otherwise, your best bet to take part in the event to take back the temple is some time right after daily reset as everyones bonus chest has reset, pulling in way more people then normal.

Which part of Orr are you talking about? The whole maps, or the temples themselves? It shouldn’t be too hard to travel across Orr itself solo. The temples themselves are a bit different.

In order to take over a temple (and open its vendors), you have to complete the temple’s meta event, which must be done with groups. If the temple is under Zhaitan’s control, you cannot access the vendors and the temple will be overrun with Risen.

Some temples, namely Grenth and Balthazar, are fairly difficult to open if the groups taking the temple don’t coordinate. The events themselves can be pretty fun imo, but if all you’re after is the gear, there is a website out there that lists which temples are open on certain servers. You can then guest to that server to buy what you need.

Regarding gearing up, there are multiple ways you can get exotics that don’t involve the temple merchants. You can craft certain exotics or buy them off the Trading Post, trade dungeon tokens for them, buy them with Badges of Honor from WvW, and so on. The main thing with getting exotics is that certain stat sets are available only through certain ways- if you want Power/Precision/Toughness gear, for instance, you can craft it, but you cannot craft Power/Vitality/Toughness gear. You have to buy it with dungeon tokens, karma, or Badges of Honor.

How do I know which server has the temple open?
Also, I’m looking to buy several pieces from different sets.
And could you tell me what time the dailly resets if it’s not too much hassle (I’m UK)

If you’re playing on an EU server, then use http://us.gw2stuff.com/en/events/eu

Look at the last five columns, the ones labeled “Temple of Balthazar/Dwayna/Lyssa/Grenth/Melandru”. You’ll see that there’s a square for each server, listed down the left side. If you mouse over each square, it’ll tell you the status of the temple- the ones that say “Captured by the Pact”, with dark blue dots, are finished.

I don’t know when exactly the daily would reset for you, but if you check your dailies page in the achievement panel, it’ll have a timer counting down to the next reset.

Got it, thanks.
