Guild Wars 2

As the title says, how do you get a mini llama without entering one of those ‘community run tournaments’?

Can you get llama depending on your placement on the leaderboard as well?

during the test seasons you can. Sounds like this will continue after they implement the new seasons as well.

The effort it takes to get one through season participation is pretty ridiculous, though. Efficiency-wise it takes about 250+ games of ranked play to be eligible for a llama based on the last llama season and the current one—plus it takes about 3 months of waiting…

Compare that to signing up for the weekly tournaments, many of which have a few teams that don’t even show up (this will be even MORE predominant now that llamas are prizes). Half the time you’ll win a llama for just signing up and appearing. Even if the other team appears, they probably will suck because they are hoping that the other team wouldn’t show as well. All you need to do is win 1 game, be it by bye or default or, heaven forbid, winning a match.

thanks lux (i have you on f list, actually). so to get this straight… by getting high placement on leaderboard i get a llama? and… I need 27 (?!) to get lavish llama? yikes!

Top 500 at the end of the season = llama.

Or you could do one of the 3 weekly tournament (two of which are free agent tourneys where you can just sign yourself up and they randomly put you on a team).

Yeah, as long as you are from NA, EU doesn’t have that many options for players without a team.

so there’s basically a reward for 500th placement that you can get from signing up for any community tournaments. wonderful. glad I played those ranked games. not.

27 if you only want the lavish llama, 40 if you want to unlock all versions of the llama.

that’s pretty upsetting so getting top 500 is basically meaningless now

I dunno about you but some people don’t have the energy nor time to farm leaderboards 40 times to unlock the final version. There might be different rewards later, but honestly why should there be any meaningful rewards when all you have to do is just farm games and not be good at the game?
