1. Not right now, but it MAY return during the Festival of the Winds this Tuesday. Keep your fingers crossed.

2. There are some recipes using Bloodstone Stone that can be crafted for a small profit. If you aim on crafting your own Ascended gear someday, you will need a fair amount of them too. There is some speculation that you might be able to trade excess Ascended mats during Festival of the Winds, but it’s a 50/50 chance. However, if you dislike crafting and don’t intend on getting Ascended gear, feel free to dump them.

3. About fractals. If I go on lvl for example 10 with personal lvl 5 I will get rewards based on my personal, right? Does it work other way around? Like If I have personal 20 and go on someone’s 5?
4. Is train on humans’ lvl 15 arena best method to lvl character beside crafting while having all ingridments?
5. How does getting tickets from WvW tournament works? I would love to have this 300 tickets weapon when it ends but I think my world sucks at it… Could I get it even if my world would be the worst?
6. Wasnt there free transfer? I know my friends have transfered out of my world and I didnt move since start and have no transfer.
7. -comming soon-

3. If you are of a higher level than the fractal you are doing, the reward level is based on your personal level not fractal level.
4. Crafting isn’t really a good way of leveling. You might get 10 levels out of it at best. Train farming is effective, but dull. Same can be done on Edge of the Mists.
5. The number of tickets you get is dependent on your world’s ranking at the end of the season. Even if you world comes last, you should get 100 tickets (if I remember correctly). That means you still have a chance at getting the weapon skin, but if your world is poorly performing, it will take a few seasons.
6. Free transfers were available for a period before the wvw tournament started. Many low population servers and low ranking servers as well as a couple of mid rank servers had free transfers. You could transfer to these servers for free before the season started but after it started you had to pay gems and you would be locked out of the season for 2 weeks.

7. What places can I farm aetherblades? I know they arent that common after patch. Places I know: EoTM, Fractal, TA.
8. Is chance of getting exotic the same if I combine 4 80 rares of same type and if I combine 4 diff types?
9. Does karma exotics combined give non soulbound item?
10. How much orihicalum ore yoy can get at max daily with one chaeacter?
11. How much magic find is enough to do train? I didnt drop single rare after 1h…
12. Does recipe for full sets of armor in mystic forge work woth dungeon armors?
13. Best way of farming t6(kill me for vendoring like 10 stacks of scales….)
14. Rank up rewards are based on your mf?
15. Soon

7. Also the Aetherblade jumping puzzle in Gendaran fields
8. If you combine 4 lvl 80 rares of the same time you will always receive the same item type either of rare and exotic level. With 4 diff types then the item type is random but I believe the chances of getting an exotic level weapon is roughly the same for the two processes
9. It will be soulbound because karma equipment is soulbound on acquire.
10. There’s no real limit because you can get orichalcum from salvaging blue and green items in addition to mining
11. Magic find is an odd beast. Some people have found that max MF (300%) resulted in lesser rarity drops than MF between 130-150%. There’s no real data to support these conclusions, so I’m going to say at least 130%.
12. No, full set recipes only apply to sets that you could craft individually.
13. High level dredge (Fractals) and risen (Orr) drop sacks Heavy miner loot bags and heavy moldy bags which have a higher chance to drop t6 mats. The second way is to acquire lots of t5 mats and up convert to t6. The third way is to craft mystic clovers.
14. Magic find only affects mob drops. It does not affect drops from map exploration, chests, wvw level ups, or anything that isn’t a mob drop

14. Actually the reward track boxes in spvp are affected by MF. This was done so that pvpers would actually give a hoot about all the luck they get

Desmina’s Hallows
Fields of Gold (might be in The Artesian Waters)
Graven Cay (Harbinger Torch PoI)
Harrowed Sea
Winterknell Shore (Seachange Tidepools PoI)

Seashell Hills
[edit] Rich Orichalcum Vein
A Rich Orichalcum Vein rewards x2 Orichalcum Ore per hit for 3-4 hits.

15. Why wouldnt you wear them all the time? Its not like they have a limited number of uses or anything
16. Im not sure what you mean
17. The current max you can go is 50, you actually could go higher but Anet hasn’tade these higher levels yet
18. Its pure luck. Most people have never gotten a precursor. If you do wanna go for a legendary id suggest just straight up buying it off the TP

17. Actually Fractals used to go up to 80, but with the patch that introduced the craftable Agony infusions, the level cap was reduced to 50.
18. It’s pure luck. My first precursor dropped in the once off weekend event that opened up Southsun cove, which was November 2012. My second one dropped 2 weeks ago in Fractals from a random mob.

For fractals 10+, you can get by using the Versatile Agony Infusion you get from the merchant in the starting area of fractals. It’s only 75 relics.F For fractals between 10-29, you’d only need about 10 agony resistance.

For fractals, you would use Ascended weaponry and maybe armour which can be a loooong grind as they require a wide variety of materials. You can’t craft the fractal weapon skins themselves, they’re random drops in fractals.

Guild missions reward completion with commendations as well as the usual stuff for completing an event. Your guild members also get a big chest where you can get more junk. It’s really there to bring a guild together and coordinate to do stuff. Takes quite a bit of effort, but can be enormously fun.

PvP is the only place to get lvl up tomes. You can’t get those in PvE since everything you do in the world grants XP.

The Insta-level to 20 scroll is a rare drop from the black lion chest and achievement chests. I think I have 6 of them from achievement chests.

I had one from bday or something like this.

Anyne have link to good updated hammer greatsword warrior pvp build?
Is it better tu fuse rares or salvage em? Im quite lucky and with mf(crafted) salvage kit get almost always 2 ectoplasmas which will be used to craft something for big income or nice skin.
I was thinking about upgrading my pvt build, which set prefix you suggest(heavy armor) and runes? I run 5 privater and 1 traveler since 6th bonus from other one is useless.
Which laures ascended accesorry would be good for me? Standard pvt or something else?
And is it worth buying t6 mats from laures metchant?

Personally, I always salvage my rares, except for axes now since I’m throwing them into the Mystic Forge with other rare axes to see if I get lucky and I flush out the precursor for Frostfang. Everything else I salvage.

It’s probably worth saving your PVT gear and creating a new set. Most people will say go with Zerk gear with Scholar or Strength runes (both very pricey), but really it’s entirely up to you. I have 3 sets of armour on my warrior.
1. PVT with Trooper rune set from my early days which is still quite handy when I need to pop lots of shout cleanses. I rarely use this set unless I’m stuck with pugs in a condition heavy instance. (Mai Trin I’m looking at you)

2. Zerk set with Scholar runes for general dungeon speed running

3. Mixed Knights/PVT/Zerk set with Strength runes for fractals

Hmmm, laurels accessory is a hard question. Again, most people would say zerk and tbh I have a zerk accessories and rings but a PVT amulet. If you got a full set of zerk accessories you can play around with your armour set with a bit more flexibility.

I don’t find it particularly good to buy t6 mats for accessories unless you’re very close to finishing a Gift for a legendary. Laurels are too useful for getting ascended items to just be burned on materials.
