Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I haven’t played in a while and I was just wondering what the advantages we’re if I buy arrow carts. I know it will hold off the enemies but it seems like a lot of gold could be spent just for a couple of kills? Or do I get something extra than a couple of kills? Bonus XP?

Thanks.

Hold off buying siege weapons until you’ve played a bit to familiarize yourself with proper placement and usage or you’ll be wasting your money and your server’s supply. Many commanders would be happy to give instruction on placing and using siege, try whispering a few for advice when there isn’t any major action going on.

A badly placed cart is pretty worthless and will likely just get you killed. They aren’t the sort of weapons you drop randomly mid-combat, they are tactical area denial weapons primarily (similar to rapid fire turrets in tower defense games).

You do not gain any additional exp or kills from building one. Using one will reward for any kills same as any other method, but does not require that you were the one to drop the blueprint.

You don’t need to buy arrowcarts.
Blueprints drop quite frequently from lords and champions.

The point about arrowcarts is not that you can get a lot of XP or loot from using one. It’s that you can slow, cripple bleed and kill dozens of the enemy during an attack and maybe win the fight.

It’s called having fun.

I sincerely hope you are not buying them from the Siege Master, because you can get them a lot cheaper from the TP.
