Guild Wars 2

Good afternoon Tyrians.

As the title says, I’ve just hit L80 on my first character, a Guardian (yay!) and I’m now looking for some advice on what is available here at end-game.

I plan to go for my first legendary weapon and I’ve already research everything I need (the list is long!) so, whilst I’m fulfilling the requirements for it, what else can I do? What are the dungeons like? Are there any that offer wicked looking equipment (I’m a mug for anything flashy-looking!) Also, are there any active guilds on the Far Shiverpeaks server? I’m in desperate need of a fun-loving, well-rounded guild!

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

With regards,

If you know what build you want I’d recommend getting a full set of level 80 exotic gear. It’s not essential but it’s useful and relatively easy to get. You can craft it, buy it with gold from the TP, buy it with karma from the temples in Orr, with badges in WvW, or any combination of the above. (You can also get it with dungeon tokens but since you asked about dungeons I assume you won’t have any of them yet.)

If you haven’t worked your build out you could still get the gear, but you might end up having to do it all again when you have decided so it might be better to wait.

Other than that I definitely recommend checking out dungeons. The actual game-play is like normal PvE, but with a small, coordinated (hopefully) group. They do reward unique skins as well – you can see them at the vendors in Fort Marriner in LA. You’ll need to do multiple runs to have enough tokens to buy anything, but if you like doing dungeons it’s not bad and you get good gold as well.

I’d also recommend checking out WvW if you haven’t already. I kept putting it off because I’m mainly a PvE player but when I did start I really enjoyed it.

Uninstall GW2
Install GW1
Enjoy a good game after the grind

Dungeons
Fractals
World Completion
World vs World
Relevel on another class
World bosses
Try to solo every group event you pass by for fun
All the jumping puzzles, including Griffonrook Run w/ bomb

Have fun.

Haha! I’m a Guild Wars veteran mate. I know all about how awesome it is. However, I find Guild Wars 2 just as friggin’ awesome so I’m here for the long haul!

Thanks for the detailed feedback. To tell you the truth, I’d completely forgotten about WvWvW. I enjoyed it a helluva lot during beta but I was put off by the level/gear requirements. Now that I’m in 80 in decent gear (got my exotic set + weapons sorted btw ;D), I’m willing to give it a crack indeed.

Farm and grind for anything of your choice. Maybe chase the carrot. Explore maps. Plenty to do.

I would do world completion and all the story modes in all the dungeons. Complete your storyline as well. This way you can travel in the map without worrying that you haven’t unlocked something and open up the exp run for others that want to do those dungeons. The events that run every two weeks will be more fun too now that you’ve hit level 80! =P

You can also complete some achievements for points to unlock chests and switch things around with WvW and PvP for a bit. There’s always plenty to do!
