What are inscriptions and trophies?

Yes I crafted the head and the shaft to make the staff but wondered why I didn’t have to use the inscription. So crude stuff doesn’t use them? Crude is the weakest type of equipment right?

I’ll sell my trophies and keep ones that may be useful for crafting.

Thank you for answering my question.

Hello I am a new gw2 player. So far I have found GW2 very confusing but I’m getting a little better. One thing that really confuses me is the crafting system. I’m playing as a human elementalist and have chosen the artificing skill, which I think is the correct one for my profession. I have gathered basic materials using pick, sickle and axe, and salvage kit. I managed to craft a mighty crude staff but it was weaker than what I already have so I salvaged it for wood, but I have some questions:

1. What are inscriptions? They are on the crafting list but I’m not sure what they do.
2. What are trophies? When an item has that label what does it mean?

Don’t really get the discovery panel either. I assume I can find new items to add to the crafting list but most of them are red, and for the ones that can be used, the craft button is greyed out.

Odd things that break your immersion?

1. Just like with any game, low fps really takes away from the experience. When it drops to below 40, it starts to feel slower and laggier, and it really does make it horrible.

2. Laptop fan making lots of noise. Even with headphones this is still a problem.

I probably shouldn’t complain about these things because considering my terrible 1.6 ghz processor, I should be grateful that I can even run it.

Can't finish last file of Nov 5th patch. [Merged]

What is actually contained in this file?. I’m having the same problem but does it actually have any effect on the gameplay. I would like to know what is in this file.

Which starting world should I select?

It won’t let me change worlds for free. It said I would get a free transfer, but maybe it hasn’t come through yet since I purchased the game a few hours ago?

Other aspects of my paid account seem to be working, so that’s good.

If it lets me transfer, I think I’ll go with abbadons mouth. Its exactly mid table so if I do want to try WVW I’m not on a bad side, while at the same time not being competitive at the top. It also has a very high population so I’ll see people.

Edit – I read somewhere that if you delete everything, you can transfer for free. I’m not really bothered about my lvl8 charr, so if it still doesn’t allow me within the next few days, I could try that.

So I tried out the free version of the game and my laptop seems to run it well enough, so I purchased the full game.

I’m not sure which world to select though. On my free account I selected ring of fire but I’m not sure that was the best decision. It said I could have one free transfer when I upgraded, so I’m deciding which world to choose.

I was thinking of selecting a world with a high population, but should I choose high or very high? I want there to be enough people to make the world feel alive, but I don’t want to run into server problems due to an overload of people.

I don’t really know much about world vs world, just that its a game mode with lots of people. To be honest, I’m more of a PvE kind of guy so I’m not too bothered about WvW leaderboards. Should I pick a highly ranked WVW anyway?

So I have narrowed the choices down a little but I’m still not sure what world to choose. Any ideas or recommendations?
