I’ve been playing this game since launch and I know every class can do anything as it just depends on your empathy with that class.
However, after so many years the only thing I could find 100% sure is that
Ranger -> Druid is the best raw healing class. What about the others?
Let’s ignore gear, just pure skills and traits.

Just found the price of the expansion in some websites:
http://www.bol.com/nl/p/guild-wars-2-heart-of-thorns/9200000039355572/
is this for real or just fake?
And this one in spanish
http://www.3djuegos.com/21421/guild-wars-2-heart-of-thorns/
for 35€.
But probably it will be more than 35€… we all know the $ to € conversion is 1:1 for anet.
Guys. Just go with it.
What’s the worst that can happen? We quit the game and move on….were gonna be ok! ITS OK GUYS! Breath! We’re gonna make it one way or another. Dont panic!
I dont remember a time they failed when adding a big patch. New dailies were ok, trading post got better… Skill and traints got better… So why is it suposed to fail now?
So is Arenanet OK for us to request 69645 items one by one to find the type we want?
Should be fine, though you’ll spend less time if you request whole pages, e.g., enumerate starting from /v2/items?page=0&page_size=200 and look at the response headers (e.g., X-Page-Total) to see how many pages there are.
This will currently take you ~206 requests, which is a lot, but shouldn’t be more than a minute or two to pull down and ingest into e.g., a database.
Sorry for your database haha but what I used 200 java threads to pull the data. Each thread would pull around 200-300 items. All threads running at the same time took them around 5 minutes to collect all the items.
By the way, is there any limit / ip for requests ?
For the official API is there a way to generate a list of all items of a certain type?
I’m looking to create a database of all the minipets in the game (and automate the process of keeping the database updated when new minis are released). I can get the item type from the official items API and discard the results that aren’t minis, but that means going through a lot of non-mini ids too. It isn’t too big a hurdle since I won’t need to update my list very often, but maybe I’m missing an easier solution?
For my purposes I don’t really care about anything more than keeping an updated list of mini names, ids, and icon paths so if anybody has an alternative suggestion of a good source for this info that would also be welcome!
Gather your own info. You can get the JSON of every item ingame. Get the list of all items, or the items you need, and then insert the JSON, parsed ofc into a database…
Hi there, im interested in making an app that allows kittener to manage their ingame account without beeing actually logged in the game, specially accessing the trading post: seeing recently bought items, selling or buying items etc… In the api: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API there is nothing mentioned about a possible link to ingame-account without the game beeing physically opend but in this topic: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Guide-to-the-Black-Lion-Trading-Co-API , i quote: “Is it possible to buy with this api or merely watch prices?” Response:
“Yes it is possible to buy. For buy, you have to do a https post
https://tradingpost-live.ncplatform.net/ws/item/<itemId>/buy
with the following parameters:
{count=int,price=int,charid=<char guid>}
You also need your game session key.”The problem is that, that topic is 1 year old and I guess the api got updated since “https://tradingpost-live.ncplatform.net/ws/item/<itemId>/buy” is not an accessible link, or I mostly get errors. The (my guess) new format, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:2/commerce/listings is much more friendly.
This guy in the topic said that some things like checking if you bought new items and such, is possible, but thats with the old API. Since I dont find anything in the API wiki related to in-game control, I came here to ask:
Is there something that can be done without the API mentioning it?
If yes: where could I get the information about the in-game info i just mentioned (since its not in the wiki api)?
If no: If the in-game info about an account is not possible, how could that guy did it 1 year ago, but not possible today (or at least i didnt found out how)?To elaborate a little bit more on how the other guy was able to access TP in such way outside of the game:
GW2’s TP relied on a http connection, which made it easily possible to replicate the requests and fetch the necessary tokens
Since then the TP has been updated and it now uses the game connection/ sockets to transfer data, which ofcourse is encrypted.
I bet that guy dug through game files or with a packet sniffer to find out those links. They werent given in any api (since i remember). Reverse code engineering isnt the cleanest way to get those needs …
In general a company doesnt have the need of developing any API because they dont take any profit from it. So as far as GW2 api is by now, its better than the api of most big games… Api development is in last place of everything
To whom it may concern:
Would it be possible to add in the following enhancements to recipe:search :
Search by Profession (i.e. Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, &c)
Envisioned as: http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/recipes?discipline=DISCIPLINESearch by Type (i.e. Axe, Bag, &c)
Envisioned as http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/recipies?type=TYPESearch by Profession Skill Tier (i.e. Novice, Adept, &c)
Envision as http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/recipies?tier=TIER
NOTE: This could simply be an alias to a query that knows to look for the floor and ceiling values of the Tier range. The back-end query, assuming an RDB, would be something along the lines of
SELECT PARAMETERS FROM DATABASE DATABASE WHERE min-range BETWEEN TIERSTART AND TIERENDMultiple Constraint Returns (i.e. Search by Profession AND Tier)
Envision as http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/recipes?profession=PROFESSION&tier=TIERAdd Name as a field in Recipe Information
This reduces the number of client cross queries that have to be made. If using a RDB, then this could also be programmed as a view presented via the API. At the moment, I must make a query to recipe, then make a query to items and compare on items.Eventually, it would be nice to fully implement the recipe:search function to be able to search on any of the multiple fields present within each recipe record. In lieu of that, however, this is probably the bare minimum needed to allow for end-users to retrieve specific datasets without having to gather ALL of the data at one and then sort through it manually.
Technically, some of these queries already exist in game. In essence, what I am asking is that the API provide some of the in-game sorting and querying functionality via the JSON Query Interface for consistency (and also so that API end-users don’t have to use brute-force when doing initial builds and retrieves of specific data sets).
If you have any questions, please contact me via whisper in-game.
Thank you!

Why dont you get all game items through theyr json and insert them in your database? By all items i mean all 40k items more or less. Sorting and any criteria you wanna apply is faster through getting them from your database.
We have no plans to ever support buying/selling things on the trading post outside the game.
Thanks for the reply, its clear enough.
That post is talking about the (unofficial) API from the previous trading post. It was not supported by ArenaNet publicly and was only supposed to be used from the TP in-game. It got removed in favor of the new TP.
Also, the new API you mentioned (the /v2 endpoint) only works one-way. There is no official way to manage your stuff outside the client. And for the rest, /v2 still gets updated with new TP stuff, but it may take a while.
Thanks for reply, probably the reason to not allow players to interact with the TP from another source that is not through the game is that bad things could probably happen, like stealing accounts with their gold etc… However, if this would become possible one day (manage TP from outside game), there is no reason for “bad things” to happen if the programmer sets up secured connections between the web app and anet server.

I got few doubts about retaliation, specially related to WvW:
1. If I have retaliation and an enemy player X hits me, if X dies, do I get loot bag? Does X player get tagged by my retaliation?
2. If I give retaliation to a friendly player Y and an enemy Z hits Y, if enemy Z dies, in case retaliation can tag, who would get the loot, me or player Y?
Im just wondering something, with all armor runes as Soldier Runes (remove 1 condition/shout) and the Pure of Voice traint which converts a condition into a boon…
What will apply first? Will the allies get the condition removed (due to armor runes) or will the condition become a boon (trait)?
My actual necro is geared with: Toughness, Precision, Condition DMG.
There are 3 set of runes i can use but i dont know wich one and why:
1 Set: 6x Crest of Rabid (120 cond, 84 prec, 84 tough)
2 Set: 6x Rune of the undead (183 cond, 50 tough, 5% tough to cond dmg around 90cond dmg)
3 Set (im using this atm):
2x Rune of lyssa – for 10% condition duration
2x Rune of the mad king – for the other 10% condition duration
2x Rune of the krait – for 15% more bleeding duration (since there isnt another set of runes to get 10% more duration on conditions)
Even tough im using the 3rd set, shoudnt it be worth to use the undead runes?
Is the difference between undead runes and the 3rd set almost the same in dmg ?
Well overall whats more usefull to increase dmg of conditions, condition dmg itself or increased condition duration?
Searching around i coudnt find an answer for this, so at an end, can ascended amulets be infused or not?
Try to see if u got this
Is there any revamp planned on this dung? A lot of ppl doing speed runs to get money, lodestones, items and tokens. Its a lot of money if a lot of ppl do this…
Why would you care?
You will see when you will make your legendary, u will care. A legendary requieres the MINIMAL ammount of 500-600G depending on wepaon + precursor, so you can easly get to 1000G for a legendary, gl doing it without farming, could take ages.
http://gw2legendary.com/ – this is the list of the prices.

From dulfy http://dulfy.net/2013/02/26/gw2-guild-missions-guide/
Guild Commendations are earned by participating in Guild Missions. You only earn them if you complete guild missions started by the guild you are currently representing.Currently it is speculated that you earn 2 Guild Commendations per Guild Mission but it is currently unknown what restrictions are in place (i.e. if there is a weekly cap etc).
My question is: Did anyone find out what are these restrictions? My guild did today 2 guild missions in different tier and we only got 1 chest…
Im wondering if i have 30% boon duration increased, if i activate boons by myself like signet of rage in warrior i get 30% more duration thats obvious.
Now, what happens if someone gives me might for example, or swiftness ?
Whose increased boon duration does those bufs render from?
Do they get my boon duration or the player that gives me the buff boon duration?
Im interested to know if Confusion http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Confusion , is affected by traints that increas condition duration.
Doubt: Traints that increase condition duration affect all conditions or only conditions that stack Duration ?
Id like to know if i add an infusion to an item, for example the versatile one with +5AR, can i later on add another one like for example +15% karma infusion?
Longer ago there were sites that were posting the exact location of the ori ores, but now i find them outdated. Does anyone know a site that is updated to see all the locations?
I think u should wait until they add another ways to get precusors. I heard someone saying they think of adding precursors for Archivment points, duno how true it is but the precursor “problem” it was there for a long time, they are looking for another ways to implement to complete our legendarys.
What ? Eternal battlegrounds is the only place where u can get into Sanctuary jumping puzzle…
Depending on your server color there are 3 colors: sapphire (blue), ruby (red) and emerald (green).
On the archivment of jumping puzzle there is a puzzle wich is same but it depends on the color of the server u are in wvw at that moment.
The puzzle is called Sapphire Sanctuary, Ruby Sanctuary and Emerald sanctuary.
My question is: Longer ago i did the puzzle beeing red, aka Ruby Sanctuary, however, now im Green color in wvw and i completed wvw puzzle (Emerald Sanctuary) however i didnt get the archivment, whats the problem?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dye , the thing is to find the dyes u want xD
I remember you from gw2 therms of agreeement that the use of 3rd tools aka scripts etc are not allowed, u might also get ban for that. There was a topic about combat mode, and anet staff replyed on it.
isnt there any kind of guild browser around here?
so, anyone, any idea?
Im looking for a guild called FRACTALS, full focused for fractals only, can anyone tell me any member of them to pm? Id like to join this guild…
Longer ago some items affixes combination didnt exist, like toughness/healing power/condition dmg. Im just wondering if there will evere bet toughness/vitality/healing power, for the full tank/suppor build im interested in doing for some classes.
Im interested in the shortbow list, will you add it soon?
Pristine fractal relic, someone told me you get 1 every 2 levels from level 10 fractal on. (10-12-14-16-18 etc…) I just did level 10 today and got one, about 5 minutes ago i finished lvl 12 and i didnt get any. Ppl say “fractal daily” but what do they mean? You only get 1 pristine fractal/day ?
And another thing, if i am lvl 13 now, and tomorrow i decide to do lvl 10, do i get daily? Or i have to advance and do lvl 14?
great answer, thanks for help
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Signet_of_the_Hunt does this skill, or any other skills that give movement speed apply in combat state?
Ive seen an elementalist today with an helmet that kinda looked like an tape/ribbon, covering his eyes completly. The thing is that its part of light armor, and im Ranger, is there anything similar like that helmet for medium armor?
Im from Seafarers rest and id like to know if i can send mails to someone from another server that its not my server. Did anyone tried this ? Do you have to be in same server or you can send without any problems ?
The hammer called: Cultist hammer,its from the fractal with Collosus, does anyone know where to get that skin or something similar, even tough, does it exist? I see it like different from every hammer lol, i mean thats a real hammer, kinda big.
And another thing, ive seen ppl around getting strange items, something similar to the way to get haloween back part, items like map fragment or whatever. Can anyone make a small guide about how to get them all?
I need a hand in picking an class, farming only. The set will be Power/Condition/ and ofc MF.
Ive readed some topics around saying that guardian/warrior should be the best ones, but i want a class that is best for farming while condition dmg.
Ive tought about the necro with 2daggers and staff, but im not sure, what do you guys think, is also thief a good option for farming?
So Im wondering about this: Im guardian using sword and shield, if i apply sigil of water (30% chance to heal allies) on both weapon and shield, will the chance still be 30% or it will be 60%?
So i want to get Power, Toughness, and healing caracteristics for an armor but it seems i didnt find any to get with dungeon totems, the only one is available in trading post? I made sure to check all npcs
Well, i just want to know if any ranger gets more critical chance with 2.1k precision.
The thing is that my warrior has same precision and gets like 80% chance…
Is it normal that on a ranger with 2,1k Precision to have only 62% critical rate? Ppl are telling me that i should have more but i dont understand, wtf ?
Ok thanks, so another question. If my warrior is from the Order of Whispers, and i have completed Vigil with another character, can i get Vigil armor on my warrior?
Few days ago ive seen a guy with an armor very very similar to the spartan one, the helmet was the same looking, that kind of helmet with red hair crest.
Ive tried to google/youtube to find out what is the name of that armor but i didnt find anythig, this is the last place where i guess that someone can tell me the name ….
Im really interested in knowing the helmet name and/or an armor that looks similar to the spartan/roman one.
Yea well, account bound is good idea too.
Yea congratz element u readead all that for nothing, to post that id rather not even post.
