Won't Complete Install

Nukum.4502

After logging into the website and downloading the game, it starts the install and then closes the window and stops. I get the first login screen like it’s going to download the files and then after a few seconds it closes the screen and then nothing. It doesn’t appear to be hung, it’s more like the program just ended.

This is on a computer that has been running GW2 since launch. I built a new computer and scrubbed the old drives and then gave the computer to my daughter so she could game with me. It’s Win7 – 64bit, 6gig ram, HD4890 Video.

Anybody else had a problem like this? Did you find a resolution? Any thoughts?

Lowbie Advice / Behind on Crafting

in Crafting

It’s pretty easy to max out items on the collectables tab of your bank, unfortunately 250 of many items is not anywhere near what you will need. Be ready to fill up your bank slots with overages of certain items. Specifically metals, cloths & wood.

In the case of cooking & jewel crafting, be prepared to purchase additional tabs for all the ‘crafted’ mats you have to create from those mats on the collectables tab.

Untrained Character Karma Purchases

I have a L80 Warrior with L400 Weapons/Hunter, rather than spending 40s to use a third craft, i created another character to learn Jewelcrafting/ArmorSmithing.

My main character has about 40k karma that i used to buy rare/exotic Armor recipes for my alt character, but i cant do this with jewelcrafter for some reason,is this a bug or the design?

Sounds more to me like the OP asked a question about why they couldn’t purchase Jewelcrafting karma recipes. Answer is that Jewelcrafting recipes aren’t shared with other crafts, like some recipes are (look at the bottom of the tool tip to see which are shared recipes). So you have to be a Jewelcrafter to purchase them.

Now if their lvl80 Main with 40K karma doesn’t have an extra 40 silver to spend and that’s why the alt, that’s a whole different issue and you could be right.

You can also learn Jewelcrafting on your lvl 80 to buy the recipes with karma for your alt. You don’t actually need to do any Jewelry crafting, just learn the craft to purchase recipes.

What to salvage & what kit to use?

I use the basic salvage kits simply because they come in larger stacks than crude kits.

Rune of Holding

in Crafting

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

The sad part is that bags never go away. They can be handed down, sold or traded forever. So every bag ever made will stay in the game until someone discards it. This will have the long term consequence of devaluing bags to the point that the cost of the rune will be many times more than the bag will sell for.

It’s already happening at the lower 10 and 12 slot levels.

Color Coding

in Crafting

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

Each color change indicates a lower crafting XP gain for each item crafted. I believe it’s orange, yellow, green, blue, white, gray. Orange is the max cxp and gray is zero cxp.

He wouldn’t need to pay that if he had his different crafts on alts.

Runes and who can create what..

in Crafting

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

I wish there was a way to reverse engineer the drop runes and sigils. Once I have one from salvaging an item, it would be great if I could then purchase an engineering token and create the recipe be destroying the rune with the token. That recipe could be either account bound or soulbound once reverse engineered out of a salvaged rune/sigil.

Armorsmith lvl40 Heavy Armor??

in Crafting

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

All Embroidered Insignias unlock at the same time. There is no “second set”. The first set of Cotton Insignias make lvl 40 gear. I’m looking at the recipes right now in code and everything looks correct on my end.

Sorry Linsey, you are of course correct. I don’t know how I managed to skip over those first cotton insignias. Thanks for setting me straight.

Has no one else discovered this error? I’m pretty sure the second set of embroidered wool insignias were supposed to make the lvl 40 armor and a simple mistake was made when laying out the increment table.

Why can't we craft aquabreather and back items?

It looks like you can craft aquabreathers?

http://www.gw2db.com/recipes/4448-water-filter

I haven’t tried it myself. Have you tried it and it doesn’t work? If so, my apologies.

I have crafted several of these. They are low level and only for heavy armor with not all that helpful stats.

You can purchase the back pack from the guild armor vendor with your guild logo on it, but its pretty pricey!

What if the buy order is higher than the sell order ?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

Never the twain shall meet. If there was a buy order for 5 silver when you listed your items for 4 silver, why didn’t you just sell? and vice versa. If there were items to purchase for 4 silver, why would you place a buy order for 5 silver.

In the unlikely event that this should occur, the TP doesn’t do auto buy/sale. When you place a buy order, another player has to make the selection to sell to you. And when you place a sale listing, another player has to make the selection to purchase said listing.

The TP will never automatically connect these two separate listings.

Armorsmith lvl40 Heavy Armor??

in Crafting

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

Did something get lost in the translation? The Insignia’s of each type (Jute, Wool, Cotton, etc) come in two tiers. The armor you craft with them are 5 lvls apart. The first wool insignias are lvl 25, the next few are lvl 30. Then the next few embroidered wool insignias are lvl 35 and the last of the embroidered are . . . lvl 35 again?

The previous sets of Jute insignia armors were a mix of lvls 10, 15 &20. The next set of cotton insignias are lvl 45 and 50, embroidered cotton are lvl 55 and 60. Etc . . .

What happened to level 40 crafted heavy armor?

I agree with this. As well as allowing us to craft directly from our “collectibles”, rather than having to pull the mats into our bags.

You can craft from your collectibles now you just can’t use them for discovery right now unless its in your inventory.

Eh… no.

Hey DaveK, are you not able to craft directly out of your bank now? I’ve been doing it for several days. It works great except for discovery, then you have to actually have the items in your bags.

Slivers??...How do I use them?

in Crafting

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

You should only need to be crafting lvl 100 for the Fragment, not the Sliver. That’s very odd. Are you sure you don’t already have the recipe down at the very bottom of the list?

Slivers??...How do I use them?

Posted by: Nukum.4502

I’ve made both of those runes using the Destroyer Sliver and Fragment through discovery panel. You know you have to actually have the mats in your bags for them to show up on the discovery panel right? You can craft production recipes from the bank, but discovery has to be from your bags.

Water Breathers/Helmets

Nukum.4502

Did these get overlooked in the crafting list? The only one I find is a lvl20 Heavy Armor recipe. I can’t believe there isn’t at least a matching light & medium version of the same single craftable helmet.

There ought to be water helmets for each level to match the other armor pieces.

Slivers??...How do I use them?

in Crafting

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

Different crafting disciplines can make different runes or sigils and don’t necessarily use all of the different type of Slivers. So even though there are 8 or 10 different Slivers, you may only be able to use 3 or 4 on each type of crafting.

Salvaging Soulbound Armor Upgrades

Yes, I’ve found the same thing with items purchased from karma vendors. The clue to look for is if there is a vendor value at the bottom, you can salvage it. If no vendor value, no salvage.

I did something similar. I did my home starter zone first, then jumped and did all the main cities. After that I did some of the other starter zones to get mats for crafting. It worked out well for me and let me see the other zones so that I might want to do them as home zones with alts.

how is the mailing limit on new accounts determined

I think it has to do with earning power. You can’t mail more than that character has earned from kills and quests. The more you play that toon, the more it earns and the more it can transfer. Or something along those lines.

Well illgot, I’m afraid you’re never going to get an answer from AN until they open up more forums that allow asking the developers questions. This forum is “Players Helping Players”, ergo no AN answers.

That having been said, I believe it has to do with blocking gold sellers from opening accounts and immediately going to work sending large amounts of gold through the mail. I read somewhere that it is a limit for the account for 30 days. So hopefully after 30 days you will be able to freely mail back and forth to your mule.

Good armour/weapons for lvl 12 elementalist?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Nukum.4502

Nukum.4502

Right now is the best time to get armor and weapons off the TP. Because there are a lot of folks trying to level their crafting, lots of good low level items are listed at 1c over vendor level. For Elementalist I’d go after stuff with cond. damage stats.

Dual Daggers doesn’t double your damage, but each weapon does its damage in turn. It’s no different than if you had Dagger / Focus, or any of the combinations of main and off hand weapons.

As an armorsmith, I’ve found just one karma recipe to make a low level one:
http://f.cl.ly/items/3S2J2Q3C4107241O0A1h/gw116.jpg

Maybe you only get that recipe when you hit 400 Armorsmith. I’ve tried those mats in the discovery page and nothing. I also can’t find that recipe anywhere.

Edit: I just realized you listed it as a karma recipe. So now I’ve got to find it!
