I wonder now how many people have never noticed that the ‘Charge’ attack of a Flesh Golem does a massive amount of breakbar damage.

The various ‘fear’ skills while in Shroud also damage breakbars significantly, while basically being otherwise useless in such fights.

People with 100k gold

I just have to say this… you can easily make substantial quantities of gold from ‘very’ low value items on the trading post, without having much to invest to start with. Many commonly dropped salvagable items (such as low-level loot armor) often have hundreds listed for sale for prices less than what the minimum number of materials they return are worth…. even a half-silver profit each adds up quickly when you melt a few hundred, and doing so might take 5 minutes.

Also, using external sites like gw2bltc that give price graphs makes a big difference… most highly-traded items have a ‘ceiling’ that they repeatedly climb to over the course of a day, where the very large sell orders are sitting, and it’s often more than 20-25% over the spot price… if you are undercutting the low sell with your jute scraps so they will sell in 30 seconds instead of 15 minutes, you’re paying for it.

When you deal with the very expensive items, you are not ‘investing’ on the TP, you are ‘speculating’, and you are accepting the risk of competing with everyone else that likes to gamble. If you just want to make money on the TP, deal with the items that trade in large amounts, make a little profit from each, and do it repeatedly.

Cheese Builds

A cheese build is one that depends solely on the ‘magic cheese’ working…. if it works, you are OP, if you miss or the target has a way to counter it, you are worthless.

A PvE example would be fighting a boss that has only melee attacks and no condition removal by kiting him while stacking tons of bleeds from range.

If people are still having trouble with Kessex Liberator… it seems that, after you kill the Krait Witch, the next event does not want to start while people are still in the cave… it seems to always start right after everyone swims outside.

Logout teleporting in VB jumping puzzle

I discovered this accidentally, when I ‘volunteered’ to switch maps while in the jumping puzzle, but I later checked that it also works if you logout to the character select screen.

There is a section of the jumping puzzle where, by switching maps, you can be ‘glitched’ to the end (you go to the very edge of the platform where the mastery point is)… from looking at the map, where should be obvious (you’re teleported straight up). Combined with using a glider to get to the middle, this reduces the whole JP to exactly 3 simple jumps. Kinda silly.

This isn’t a ‘tiny’ jump, like people do in ‘Not So Secret’… it moves you probably a hundred feet straight up.
