Guild Wars 2

I bought a Watchwork Mining Pick, and I love the fact that it rewards sprockets when used. Does anybody know if any of the other unbreakable harvesting tools reward anything extra other than the resource node being harvested? It doesn’t look like it in the store, but I thought I’d ask out loud to be sure.

Hi everybody, my wife and I are picking up this game again after playing a little bit years ago. I have a few minor questions I’m hoping people can answer for us, in no particular order.

1) What’s the difference between a party, squad, and group?

2) How do you stop your auto attack in the middle of a fight if you want to stop hitting the mob?

3) What is the advantage (if any) to being in a party/squad/group when fighting a world boss?

I’m sure we’ll think of more as we go, but these are the three that come to mind this morning.

I understand that the user interface is pretty much set up as is, but I wonder if anybody knows a way to drop a clickable icon, or key-bind, consumables or the like for quick access. Seems clumsy to have to open inventory and search around to use something like the candy corn 10s burst of speed or other short timed boons.

Probably asked 1000 times….
