For the purpose of making a full ascended set, and then reforging it into the expensive stats I need, what is widely regarded as the best/cheapest set to CRAFT? If its weight specific, Im speaking of cloth.
we all know that eventually youll have 2 of every class. so just pick something for now and enjoy the game. youll get sucked in eventually
In short, you missed the whole LS2 story (and the movie describing ls1 story).
in all fairness that wouldnt do jack kitten towards explaining who trahearne is, why hes such a big shot Firstborn (have to play Sylvari story) who the flame legion is, why theyre the bad guys, and other such racial minutae. indeed, some of that does come from GW1, especially charr and human history
you can get ascended gear from pvp? where?!
they have already stated that certain things are going to be depositable. its not hard to stop during a meta, between events, and sort your bags. if youre carrying along a bunch of kitten already, bank it. dont do a meta with 3 sets of RP armor kitten
It used to be worse before the salvage all feature was added.
Also, people have the right to bring the items and gear they want to bring. It’s the game that treats players as if they all had full free space and 2-3 bag slots bought from the gem store.
its A META. youre gonna get lots of phat loot. empty your packs. make your body ready. dont bring 3 bags of crap you dont need, TO A META. thats like doing SW and not bringing keys and shovels and extractors. part of playing the game is gearing appropriately for the event youre about to do. dont neglect prep and then whine about the consequences.

I have gone to her two spawn points repeatedly over the last 3 days, as well as where the Guild itself spawns, and have never seen any of them. Does anyone know where and when they’re supposed to spawn?
Collect berries in BBF and eat them all. Repeat with each level 80 you have.
how many can you hit on each character before it stops?
- Bloodstone Fen: cannot walk in
- Ember Bay: cannot walk in (interestingly: that was the same for GW1; you had to do a story mission to get into the Ring of Fire, too).
- Bitterfrost: you can walk in, as soon as at least one toon completes the first chapter of the third episode (subsequent characters need only talk to the NPC outside the portal)
- Lake Doric: you can walk in, as soon as your toon has completed the first chapter of the fourth episode (unlike Bitterfrost, portal is soulbound rather than account bound).
lake doric can only walk in on the character thats done it. you cant just walk an alt in. so 1 of 4 are travelable….. its really annoying when you want to poke around with a mesmer or something
You cannot just walk into any of the new zones, they are completely isolated from the rest of the world. LS2 (dry top and silverwastes) arent like that. so why is is LS3 set up like that?
I need 30,000 unbound magic. whats the fastest/best way to accomplish this, in a short period of time every day? All I can come up with is to hit all 4 zones for the quick unbound magic collection daily, and then do the ring o’ berries in bitterfrost. probably 20 minutes total. any other ideas?
what was the exploit? i dont recall getting anything weird from the jade frags. so confused now
Iv mined probably 4 nodes now and have gotten exactly 0 Jade Shards. only bloodstone dust and watchwork sprockets. if they are modeled after bloodstone rubies/petrified wood, you should be getting at least 1 or 2 from 3 hits. is this a glitch?
The waiting time is too long from my point of view. I think that before these things you always have to have a plan B to solve this faster.
you can not plan for a massive power outage that plays fast and loose with your servers. you can not plan for what sorts of issues those servers will have, coming out of a massive power outage. stop being a jerk. anet is going as fast as they can
Tried to forge 3 Mews, 1 Dipole, 1 Obby and 1 Crystalline, and the forge wouldnt accept the obsidian shard. is the recipe different or is this a known issue?
Funny how nearly everybody except the OP is talking about silver and not platinum doubloons.
because Silver are needed to be farmed for a Legendary, and Platinums are used for exactly nothing that requires them en masse
We are currently stuck in arah at mursaat path where the golem suit is and the turret/spiders at the end. We all keep getting instakilled no matter if the shield is up or not. What are we SUPPOSED to do here? our daredevil tried to leap/dodge past the turret and he died too. Im watching videos and reading guides and they all are 3 years old and show a WP right here that you can reach as a stopping point and thats not here. Halp?
I have been using the dulfy guide and have gotten some of the cats, but not all of them, and now I dont remember where I left off. Is there a way to checklist them from your home instance, or somehow find out which ones you did or didnt do? Will they no longer be in the overworld locations if you have them?
Dear OP
Do NOT speak for me.
This has been a problem for me since the first make over kit came out.
We get new faces. We get new hair.
Why do we not get new third option styles. For humans and norn that would be beards. For asura and Sylvari that’s ears. For Charr it’s horns. I want more options. I’m not sure what human and norn females have for third options, but they should get something too.
you mean tattoos/beards/horns/biolum/markings? the, you know, actual unique racial things that you can pick at creation, but that makeover kits offer NOTHING new on? i would kill for kit-exclusive horns and fur colors to match hair colors (neon blue tiger anyone?) or exclusive biolum patterns, or something cool kitten
Sometimes Dulfy is funny, like do this impossible jump to get this item, when the intended foot path is right around the corner.
like what? iv never known her to do that
I thought the ‘Meta’ is the one that gives 100 AP. It just seems easier to do. At least the first 5, so the first 50 points. Only takes 5 days of Dailies.
It seems to give the same reward as last year. Or I expect the choices will be the same; who knows? Maybe more choices.
Correct. The meta just works differently this year – it is only linked to dailies, but you can get up to 100 points this time
id rather have a cool item than 100 ap
super annoyed that theres no meta, not because of the AP lack, but because theres nothing cool or special to work towards. just more endless kittening presents. whoopdeedoo
You can skip Adventures and still max out your Masteries.
No, you absolutely can NOT. you have to do at least 6 or 7 of the new minigames to fully max everything. there are not enough points in everything-else to make up all the tiers. granted, you can pick a handful of the easiest ones, but you still MUST do them if you want completion
TTS does the wurm literally every day. use the lfg feature.
There’s also a lot of Unbound Magic underwater in Bitterfrost Frontier, and they seem to respawn quite quickly.
Even without breaking down the Winterberries, I think you acquire some Unbound Magic just from gathering them. But I could be mistaken, as I often have the Unbound Magic tools equipped.
Good luck.
what tools?
Isn’t there a once per day per character limit on the DS chest?
Meaning if you succeed with a character, in order to get the chest again, you have to switch characters to get the chest a second time within that day/daily reset.
what does that have to do with anything? where did i say i tried to get it twice? wut? i didnt get the chest at all. not once
Just did the entire meta, and cant loot the end chest. seriously anet? you still havent fixed this kitten? just wasted my entire morning on NOTHING.
I feel as if this topic is dead because people choose to troll towards it so much, not only on these forums but in game as well. When trying to duel in pvp, we are restricted with the gear you can use. In wvw/eotm, you get destroyed by zergs and they yell at us to go to pvp for duel. And to be told that you have to be in a guild…HAVE TO BE IN A GUILD to duel safely……..to add on top of this pitiful list of excuses, “This game is designed to NOT foster greed and apathy, but the opposite”……..It is clear that everyone in this topic has not dueled and has zero experience with what happens.
No, these people have played other MMOs where ganking and dueling happens. when you dont want to fight, its incredibly stressful and can ruin your entire experience when someone decides to harass you. when YOU want to duel, you go to the place for it. pvp. not when youre trotting around trying to harvest iron ore and some kitten wont leave you alone.
the answer is no. anet has said it. the community has said it. get over it. go play wow and get roflstomped to your hearts content.
yeah the kite and such can stay static, but wings should have physics and flap. +1
because at its core, GW2 (and GW1) is a cooperative MMO and open world conflict with other players is a very hostile feature. This game is designed to NOT foster greed and apathy, but the opposite. thats why unlike some MMOs who shall not be named, events, nodes, mobs, etc are for everyone. this just goes against the entire mood this game has.
well poo. other than mindlessly searching every single individual item on the tp and wiki, is there a good way to find all the low level stuff? like racial city vendors or something?
Use gw2efficiency.com
Give it an api key, go to the wardrobe page. It will show you what you have and don’t have unlocked andyou can sort it by order of price. This will make it easy for you to identify every skin/dye/mini under any given value really easily, then you can go buy those/acquire them.
i already use eff but didnt know it could do THAT. thanks!
oh. looks like i might be able to do the same for armor…. scale is heavy, there must be broad keywords for the light and medium weights
It includes dyes as well. So you need to sift through a lot of things.
thankfully i have every blue and green dye, but geeze. i was able to troll the TP/wardrobe for basic weapons by searching metal type (mithril, darksteel, etc) but armors is going to be a lot harder
well poo. other than mindlessly searching every single individual item on the tp and wiki, is there a good way to find all the low level stuff? like racial city vendors or something?
if I use this, is there a chance ill get some rubbish white skin like berserkers soft staff or something? debating if i should use it now or wait til i have gotten all the trash skins so theyre eliminated from the list
I don’t think it is a grave issue. But I do think its a bad precedent.
Again, to me, it is really similar to the Watchwork Mining Pick case: a marginal but objective advantage tied to hard cash mechanics.
theres no advantage. it doesnt give you an item. it literally gives you a 10 foot platform with the sun blinding you, and a pretty tree to stare at. thats literally it. its nothing, physically, different than any other scenic spot in the game except this one is exclusive, which really doesnt matter because its not even that godkitten pretty. its actually kind of boring. even the grotto in the grove is prettier. who gives a kitten about a boring rock you can sit at? theres nothing there! it doesnt give you a buff or a stat advantage or ANYTHING
In things like timed events or conditional achievs, there is usually a little yellow icon that says “Eligible for X” and then a buff with a timer to let you know how your 5 minutes are doing. In the new LS3 there is neither, leaving you to wonder. Why were these things removed?
Yeah was just thinking the same thing as squee, this isn’t really a big deal, but it sets a precedence for what could become a major problem.
It’s slowly been moving that direction through various gem items (Immortal skins, for example, can only be obtained through gem purchases, and then there’s that Black Lion weapon set that is account bound but requires a black lion ticket to purchase). So it’s not like this sort of practice is new, they’re just doing it more and more. To me, this says that regardless of sales numbers etc., Anet is not doing as well as expected financially. If they were doing well, they wouldn’t need to resort to these sort of gimmicks to make money.
skins are skins. they dont increase stats. they dont offer anything other t han personal aesthetic. you should be GLAD that anet has deliberately made ONLY aesthetic choices locked behind a paywall. they could make level 80 zones or ascended armor or raids cost money. they dont. you are exactly as good at this game as you want to be, money has nothing to do with content, only aesthetic.
the special place being a ledge and a tree is pretty stupid though. whats the point?
Thank you Electro. I had never noticed that.
I still think the disable feature shouldn’t bring it back out until we want it.
it doesnt pull mobs, it doesnt put you in combat unless its set to aggro, it doesnt DO anything just sitting there. no reason to code a whole nother mechanic when the current one does just fine.
I main Rev and have since HoT released. i love her to bits
You need the same ingredients and go to Blister Cauldron again to make the elixir. Nothing else required.
thanks man
can’t making the potion is a daily thing as well once you make it you get the buff till reset next day.
well thats clearly not true as i just did the thing 7 hours ago and i dont have the buff
how can you enter this area without dying from stacks, and without doing the entire episode over again to make the potion?
I feel it is too “light hearted”. We could have had the same sequence done in a different theme.
Instead of “look I’m training this puppy” it would have been more like “look I’m fighting alongside this fearsome creature and through that we will create an unbreakable bond of trust and respect and become fierce allies”.
I fully agree we need to shape the way the small dragon sees the world if we are to have it fight on our side.
I disagree with the way it was handled.It’s supposed to be a powerful being of great power – and it is portrayed in game like a puppy or some other cuddly creature.
That’s sad and immersion breaking for me.
shes a BABY. shes not a fearsome creature, shes an overgrown scaley kitten.
there is no jumping and gliding what are you talking about? other than 1 vista, theres not even a JP
Well…normally by this time was out.
Is delayed anyway..
no, its normally out on tuesday so already the rules are messed up. itll be here when its here.
I have always easily made my money back. getting expensive dyes, BL weapons skins, minis, etc, i have yet to buy keys and NOT come out ahead. totally worth it.
I hate to make assumptions: but not even close to likely. A single key via gems right now is the rough equivalent of 21G-31G depending on how many you buy at a time.
For a single key? That sounds pretty high but then I never trade gems for gold. Can someone show the numbers on this?
it would be based on gem to gold conversion at the instant you check it, which fluctuates constantly
yes, i have gotten home nodes and other such high money items which i have then sold. its absolutely been worth it to me for the loot i get. i absolutely do come out ahead, every time.
theres a subforum for that. good luck.
