Hi there!

I am playing my main character as a Sylvari Ranger. (80). So right now I am collecting Karma-Points, SkillPoints and Gold for her. She has ~150K Karma and 175 SkillPoints and 20 Gold.
(I also have a Sylvari Elementalist (80). that have 53K Karma and 93 Skill Points collected.)

I am focusing on Cond Damage and Power for her and I am using a short bow as main and a long bow as secondary weapon. (Havent tryed any other combo). Should I?

  • I want a legendary short bow. How can I achieve that?
    (With my Karma, Skillpoints and Gold?)
  • I want exotic armours and good runes as well. What exotics to aim for and where to buy them?
  • What Runes and Sigils?
  • Can I buy one exotic (42K Karma) with the Elementalist and give to the Ranger?

Hey Akerhage. I wish i could give you a cut and dry answer, but I don’t think it’s possible without knowing what you are trying to achieve overall. In some builds you will want to use your equipment to enhance your existing skills/utilities, and in some you will want to use complimentary gear to fill out your weak spots

I would recommend heading to the mists lobby to test different specs and equipment. It’s not quite the same equipment setup as PvE/WvW, but it will give you an idea of which direction to head.

Hmm, okay! Well I just want to boost my existing skills. I think that would do a good job!
So boost of Cond Damage would be nice.

I can answer this, no. Karma items are soulbound.

Gotcha. You have plenty of options for condition damage gear:

Rampager’s – Prec, Power, Cond Dam
Shaman’s – Vit, Cond Dam, Healing
Carrion – Cond Dam, Power, Vit
Rabid – Cond Dam, Prec, Tough

Rune of the Elementalist – power + cond dam
Rune of the Thief – precision + cond dam
Rune of the Engineer – toughness + cond dam
Plus any of these: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune#Condition_Damage

So you can mix and match how much of each trait you want boosted, or go all in on one set.

You can buy just about any of it on the TP.

Oh, and I have no idea about legendaries, so hopefully someone else can help with that.

GL, and I hope that helps!

Thanks for that, seems like I like Carrion and Rampager. So maybe a mix of thoose. would do it!
No set I can buy with the Karma then instead of the Gold? I think I need to have a specifik exotic bow to make a legendary of it. So maybe its better so save the Gold for that?

I’m sure there are karma items you can get too, I’m just not really up on what all of them are. I had a lot of spare gold, but not much karma (relative to the cost), so I just bought all of my gear.

Hit this link for Legendary weapon info: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/64363-legendary-weapons-guide/

Also this: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/69427-unbeatables-legendary-guide/

Unbeatable was the first one to get the 2 hand mace and has some really good tips on how to farm efficiently. With the resources you have you have a great start! But you’ll need 1-2mil karma and probably another 150-180 gold.
