Guild Wars 2

Couple of questions from a returning vet:

So I have read many players boasting about making 18g per hour farming drytop. But, I have spent about 8-10 hours there now exploring and farming. But I doubt Id be hitting 4g an hour. Even done alot of event farming during sandstorms which seems to be the most beneficial time to farm. Has this region been nerfed and it was 18g per hour when it first opened up?

Ive just noticed these sPVP tracks. I am particularly interested in the region and dungeon tracks. My impression is you have to get levels in sPvP and it unlocks the tracks that you then pursue? But there doesn’t seem to be alot of information on how it works. Going to youtube and search and all I can find is people opening the chests. The wiki is very unclear IE it says to unlock a dungeon track just do Story Mode and no other information. How do you start and complete the region and dungeon tracks?

Can’t help with the first bit, I haven’t kept track of my earnings during DT runs (though at a guess the figure might include opening buried chests and getting lucky with champion drops).

For the second:
1. Your sPvP level does not actually matter with regard to the tracks you have available. To activate/start a track, just go in your PvP window and select one of the available tracks that you have, progress will then be made whenever you play a match – wins make you progress faster than losses, but even losses will net you progress so it’s not all-or-nothing. Solo queue gets you more progress than hotjoin, and team queue gives more than solo queue.

2. Dungeon tracks are individually unlocked by running story mode for that particular dungeon. Once it’s been unlocked, it’ll stay that way and you can repeat it as many times as you want. Each week there’ll be a dungeon track accessible to everyone no matter if it’s unlocked or not; this will rotate. If you want to get your pick of the dungeon track, run story. If not, just do the weekly.

3. Region tracks are unlocked by completing the previous region track. You start out with the Krytan region track unlocked – finish it, and you’ll unlock the Shiverpeaks track. Finishing the Shiverpeaks track will unlock the Ascalonian track, and so on. Note that you can re-run previously completed tracks for loot/skins/whatever, but this won’t unlock anything new.
