Guild Wars 2

how do I use the commander or create squads and what not. Is there a forum post already on this or is there a link someone can provide. I don’t seem to be able to find anything on Google or in game or on the forums. the search function is not working for me.

If you have spent the 100g to buy the book, you become a commander.

This gives you a blue icon on the map, which can be seen by all. Useful when you are trying to get people to your location. You can also create Squads of up to 30 people, by using the Squad invite, which is on the same tab as the party invite button.

Squad commanders can use the map to place waypoints (Although these are not the ones you teleport to) and specific commands, e.g. to designate a regroup location or the area to begin an attack.

You become a commander by clicking “create squad” in the same area as the party interface.
