Guild Wars 2

Question re: the rank abilities, Im attempting to upgrade supply capacity and it now seems (contrary to the wiki) that rank 3-5 in this ability now costs more then what the wiki states, and also the sum of all 5 ranks far exceed the current tooltip max of 300.

Here are the current requirement numbers for supply capacity:

1: 20
2: 40
3: 100 (60)*
4: 180 (80)*
5: 280 (100)*

• wiki numbers

OK, without debating how ridiculous this is, if you add up the sums for each rank you would need 620 total points to get to rank 5, that just gets you an extra 5 carrying capacity. However, if you mouse hover over the ability icon, the tooltip states that you only need 300 total points to max the ability. Which is correct?

Please don’t say the sums are correct, that’s insane.

I don’t actually have supply capacity but I’m pretty sure it’s 20/40/60/80/100, not 20/40/100/180/280.

That would make more sense, so perhaps the tooltip that, in red numbers, shows say 100/180/280 this is just how much MORE you need to max the ability? That would add up, although it sounds kinda loopy to do it that way instead of just displaying the exact number you need to rank up each slot.

But… I guess Anet is Anet.

It’s how much you need to spend to get right to that point. So you must have rank 1 already, so to get to rank 5 you need 20+40+60+80=280 points.

total amount used to be rank 5 will be 300.

Rank 1 takes 20 points
Rank 2 takes 40 points (from Rank 1) – total used is now 60
Rank 3 takes 60 points (from Rank 2) – total used is now 120
Rank 4 takes 80 points (from Rank 3) – total used is now 200
Rank 5 takes 100 points (from Rank 4) – total used is now 300

The tool tip itself will adjust the numbers as you progress. So if you have 0 points spent the Rank 5 will display a tool tip of 300. If you are already Rank 3, the tool tip on Rank 5 will only display what is left to reach that rank. In this case, if you are Rank 3 already, the Rank 5 tool tip would display that you require 180 more points to complete.

To comment on your reference to the “red” numbers. The color changes based on if you have enough supply to upgrade to that rank. If you have the skill points to reach a rank/level then the numbers are white…if you don’t have enough yet the numbers are red.
