Awesome! I’ll give you both a look !
1) i agree with that and its easy to do so. Unfortunately laurels are like 3 times in a month so i just have to wait haha
2)what class are you using to do a full zone in 30 mins? O.o as in hearts, vista,poi,skill and wps all in an avg of 30 mins?
3)i find it hard finding a party for fractals…unless im using the lfg system wrong…
4)doesnt karma train in orr depend on your server and the time of day as well?
5)can you elaborate on tp flipping? O.oOh, I can answer a couple of these.
1) yeah that’s a drag. Festivals might reward more later if they follow this previous Wintersday’s example.
2) I don’t know about him but the maps without hearts are faster to map in general. Otherwise, wow. Quite the speedrunner.
3) dunno lol
4) Thanks to megaservers, it no longer matters what server you’re on but time of day will still be a factor to have enough people.
5) There are or were a number of threads about making money on the TP. It’s really just playing the TP like a real life commodities market. Buy low, sell high. Good for accumulating wealth if you have the capital to start but there’s risk involved as well. Others can elaborate more than I.
-if i can get on for festivals lol
-yah im guessing perma +33% move speed + kittenton of mobility abilities
-yah i find fotm is harder to find groups for now lol i remember the gw2lfg days when everyone was looking for groups. Now i barely see any advertisements kn the lfg tab…
-ohhh i never understood what happened with servers. Last time i recall, if im in EB, i only play with EB players everywhere unless i guest a server
-ohhhh i don’t like risky maneuvers lol i prefer solid ways of making money. Guessing daily dungeons will have to suffice lol
-yah too bad not all hearts can be done with ‘kill x’ events xD how i wish lol
-with my current guardian settup, im able to run around with perma swoftness + teleport for some hella quick movement lol just sucks to have to alt tab every now and then to update which way im supposed to run to. Does making GW2 windowed and having a map guide open on the left side work?
-i thought only exotics give you ectos? O.o
- i have a copper fed salvage kit so i hope that suffices? >. <
-hmmm what if it was kryta mining the previous day then maguuma wood chopper the next? Isnt it more efficient to just go around one zone at a time? I also do my dailies in pvp since its the quickest way and i could use those tomes of experience or whatever xD
-yah WvW i think will be the hardest one to map lol just takes time for it i guess haha xD
-hmmm true… about precursors lol i heard some ppl waste more gold going to mystic than buying it straight up xD- Yeah…>> There are a few annoying hearts I won’t deny that.
- lol “perma swoftness” sounds like you’re making whooshing noises while running around. XD.
But yeah, GW2 works just fine windowed.
- Ectos can be salvaged from both rare and exotic pieces of equipment of level 68 or higher. Globs of Dark Matter is limited to salvaging exotic stuff but that’s only used for ascended.
- Your copper fed salvage kit can replace the Fine salvage kit. I’d still suggest getting a Master’s/Mystic to salvage rares. It has a higher chance for salvaging rare mats (ecto, Ori, Ancient Wood). Specific info here: LINK
- If your two hours a week is spread out over the week (25 minutes a day?) instead of one chunk on the weekend, go ahead and stay in one map for consistency. Then jump based on dailies when you finish a map.With the changes to the daily system, I’d ignore them if the immediate reward isn’t beneficial or nearby (thus my suggestion with gatherer and world boss dailies). The rewards you get from AP are nice but not time effective. Also PvP dailies only reward PvP xp so it only indirectly helps your legendary through mats from reward tracks. Time better spent world exploring IMO.
Best of luck. d(^_^)
-lol QUITE a few haha
-gotta make sound effects to feel fast haha xD
-ohhh dang haha i didnt even notice xD i dont pay attention to pop up windows or tutorials lol
-ok ok will keep spares on me!
-i cant haha my laptops at my gfs place and i only go there during weekends. One day to play for 2-4 hrs while she works then back to spending time with her or studying >. <
-ohhh true! :o i didnt think of it that way. Thanks for the insight!
So I’m new to GW2 and bought it at release and have been playing it on and off. I have 3 80’s, 1 Warrior, 1 Elementalist and 1 Guardian. I rushed them all to 80 so world complete is not on my accomplishments. Since I’m busy with work, volunteer, school and girlfriend, I’m struggling what to prioritize. This is what I’m struggling with and if anyone can help me in any way with information or anything, it would be deeply appreciated!
Note I maybe have 2 hours max per week to play so please keep that in mind >.<
1) My gear pretty much I get what to do. I need exotics for armor and weapons to get started. I have done that. I also have ascended necklace and 2 ascended rings. I’m struggling to get ascended amulets and backpiece. Especially the backpiece since i"m only reward 17 in FoTm and it seems like no one is doing low lvl fractals at this age of the game. How would I get enough fragments for a backpiece? I’m also not rich so I can’t really craft them…
Amulets I know cna be bought with Laurels (which is hella slow) or Guild Comms right? I can’t seem to find a guild who does Guild Comms during the days I do get to play so what do I do?! >.<
2) I don’t know what to do about world completion lol I only have so much time right? I did some research and it seems it takes like 45mins to 1 hour just to finish one zone so is this what I should be pumping my time into?
3) I want a legendary but it takes forever or a crapton of money if you’re rich. Is it possible to gather materials and money while I’m doing #1 or #2?Thanks once again if anyone can help me with this! This noob greatly appreciates it >.<
I can sympathise, I often don’t have many hours to play and find myself lusting after the same achievements as yourself.
1) For amulets, just wait and save laurels, it might take a month or so of logging in but to be honest its something you can get just by logging so there is no point actively going after it if you have limited time.
2) The way I did world completion was doing a zone a day. After a while you’ll get there. Trust me when I say it doesn’t take 45mins-1 hour per zone. Realistically, if a zone is completely uncharted it might take 30mins or so. Load up an online map with all the WPs, POIs and Vistas as reference to make life easier.
3) As a casual player, its gonna take you a long time to get a legendary, unfortunately that is just a fact. I suggest following two routes for this. Firstly, do some Orr karma trains to farm heavy mouldy bags for T6 mats (both needed in the legendary recipes as well as worth a lot to sell for other components). Secondly try your hand at TP flipping. That why you can make money through investments even when your not online.
So with your 2 hours i’d suggest:
1) Log in for laurels
2) Complete a zone (30mins)
3) Run a fractal (30mins)
4) Karma train in Orr (40mins)
5) TP flipping (20mins)That gives you a 2 hour sceduele that will help you work towards acsended amulets and backpiece as well as legendary.
1) i agree with that and its easy to do so. Unfortunately laurels are like 3 times in a month so i just have to wait haha
2)what class are you using to do a full zone in 30 mins? O.o as in hearts, vista,poi,skill and wps all in an avg of 30 mins?
3)i find it hard finding a party for fractals… unless im using the lfg system wrong…
4)doesnt karma train in orr depend on your server and the time of day as well?
5)can you elaborate on tp flipping? O.o
Thanks everyone by the way for all the extremely quick responses!
If you’re only going to have 2 hours max per week to play, then you’re just going to have to accept that your goals will need to be fairly modest. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the game. My advice would be to completely forget about best-in-slot gear or a legendary weapon. If you’re going to be playing so little, then you just need to enjoy the game for the sake of the game. However, world completion could still be an achievable goal. It will take a while, but its something you could still make noticeable progress on even with only a couple hours per week. Pick a zone, and just start working your way through it. Even if you can only play for 30 – 60 minutes at a time, you can knock out some hearts, skill challenges, vistas and points of interest, and complete any dynamic events you run across along the way. The nice part of world completion is that its very easy to stop right where you are and pick up again later at the same spot.
Just about everything you do will in some way contribute to your progress toward a legendary. But you need a vast amount of crafting materials, gold, karma and some other very rare items. A legendary is a pretty high goal, even for someone who plays a lot. At only 2 hours per week… well, like I said, I think you need to keep realistic goals that are in-line with the time you have available. And trying for something as lofty as a legendary, on only two hours per week, is probably going to only lead to frustration and burn out because your progress will be so slow that it will feel like you’re not even moving (or even going backwards as you spend your resources on more immediate needs). Maybe set an ascended weapon as your long-term goal. Same stats as a legendary, but much more realistically obtainable.
Kudos for keeping your priorities straight. :-)
Hehe ty for the info and reality check!
i knew legendary was gonna be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the line when i have a chance to play with a solid amount of time so your response didn’t really come as a shock haha i did think however that ascendeds were just as hard to get as legendarys for weapons? O.o i guess i was wrong? :P
Any tips on making map completion easier to do? I found this guide on how to do things efficiently however, just the bore factor is bugging me haha
This should be stickied somehow. This is really helpful especially for new players who have no idea what to do in GW2. This also helps players who are too used to the holy trinity back in WoW days. Thanks a bunch for this man
I have been using Nemesis’ necro guide as my reference to build my necro. Currently on lil 50 and shaping up to be a glass cannon build. I have to be honest, it does not feel like playing a necro in terms of playing style, but it sure packs a lot of DPS (maximising on might and vulnerability), and it will surely help to lvl up faster when soloing maps. My build is currently 20/10/0/0/20, axe/focus and dagger/dagger or dagger/warhorn. Utilities are blood is power, well of suffering, signet of spite and flesh golem When soloing I’d mainly stick to axe/focus with my DPS rotation, pop skill 4(focus), then skill 2(axe). Should go down in 3 secs tops, then while waiting for skill 4 to reload, I’d pop blood is power on the next mob, then auto-attack until skill 2 is available, then I’d pop that. By the end of this, skill 4 should have finished reloading, so you can rinse and repeat. If u wanna pull a group of 3 mobs or more, pull them together, pop blood of power, skill 4, drop well of suffering, then pop death shroud and skill 4. Should demolish all mobs in less then 5 secs. Hardly ever use the second weapon config, only when I am rarely waiting for cool downs, and even that I just jump into DS as life blast deals more DPS. All my gears are +power and +precision. Hope this helps with your build decision. Again, I have to say there is little traditional necro playing style with this build as the usage of minions or conditions is almost non-existent.
Thanks a bunch for the detailed response
I plan on playing traditional necro once I reach 80 but as for now, I have to make the most out of the little playing time I get so I’m looking for maximum dps available
Hey all, I’ve read a lot of these necromancer leveling guide/build help so I know just how tiring it must be to see yet another topic about it. I did my research so rest assured, I’m not some lazy guy that just doesn’t want to use google to get me answers. The problem is this, I’ve looked at input everywhere and there seems to be no consensus at all. My guildies say condition is the way to level, forums say wellomancer is the way to go and some say minion master is the way to go. So i’m seeking for a specific build to help me level as quickly and efficiently as possible. here are some specifics:
1) I am planning on doing map completion to help me lever + story quests
2) I want to kill things and blitz through maps as fast as possible
3) I can easily adapt to any playstyle since I’ve played almost all classes to lvl 40+ so preference is not the issue here. I’m looking for optimal performance
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and am looking forward to hearing your responses. Thanks
So I’m lvl 80 with the Full Set of Berserker with Ruby Orb as the slotted gem. My weapons are the ones you get from CoF and have sigils of smothering but I can switch them for better ones. My trinkets are utter garbage. I have full Ruby Orichalcum trinkets with Exquisite Ruby orbs except my back piece which is really garbage. My questions are as follows:
1) Is my gear considered good enough for fractals?
2) What should I be aiming for ?
3) I am a university student so maximum playtime will be one to two days a week, how long will it take to get legendary trinkets?
Thanks for any and all inputs ^.^ Have a good day
Hey guys I just got my first character to level 80 (yay) but I’m not sure what to do for endgame. I was thinking something along the lines of: Spam CoF>get Exotic gear by using Gold or Tokens > get legendaries somehow. Any suggestions? >.<
P.S. I’m a lvl 80 char warrior by the way
thanks for any feed back you’re able to give ^.^
Thanks a lot for the replies everyone
I’m only level 9 though so I’ll have to work my way up but I wanted to get some information ahead of time. Thanks once again ^.^
