Guild Wars 2

Q: Is Heart of Thorns included for free when I buy Path of Fire?

A: No. As we said when we announced Heart of Thorns, we always want to give you the option to purchase both expansions for a single price. With the purchase of any edition of Path of Fire, you can add in Heart of Thorns during checkout and purchase both expansions together for less than the combined prices of the expansions. If you already own Heart of Thorns or only want to play Path of Fire, you can purchase Path of Fire separately.

Please pay attention to the type of armor your 1st character wears (heavy – Armorsmith, Medium – Leatherworking, Light – Tailoring) but yes I would suggest your first crafting skill is the armor your only character wears.

As for weapons, that is a little trickier. A lot of characters use weapons from different crafters. Look at the type of weapons you mainly use and start with that skill.

Here is a site I have used in the past. It will take you to 400 and you can google others that go to 500.. As was stated earlier, 400-500 is very expensive so don’t rush to go there.

I personally enjoy crafting but others do not find it as enjoyable. It is an fun part of the overall game for me. If you do not find it as enjoyable, go to the TP and buy the gear you need to level. You will find it inexpensive and fairly easy to do.

Good luck and enjoy!!!

This is so cool!!! I have had an Ascended Shaman Gear Box in my inventory unopened because I was not sure which character to try it on. Now I can experiment with my various characters more.

Thank you Anet. I am anxiously awaiting what Removing Restrictions will bring.

No one’s saying companies shouldn’t try to satisfy their customers. Of course they should. But this is a case where satisfying one lot actually only throws up yet more who decide they then feel dissatisfied and it goes on and on until you’ve unleashed a whole can of worms.

I am not at all upset that people are complaining on the forums. It is genuinely annoying to miss an announcement and then find you didn’t get to turn in stuff you worked hard for. But that happens the whole time in every day life and I don’t demand that each store treats me, personally, differently from the many others who also missed out on other events/promotions etc. Like I said before, I missed Kasmeer’s staff, twice, despite having waited and waited for the second sale (but I missed the day it came out – and there was no warning of that from ANet). But I don’t call bad customer service because I missed out on a sale.

What they can do, which would be right to do, is take note, and next time, implement things differently, perhaps sending out an in-game message or adding some dialogue to the merchants or leaving them a few days after the event or whatever. I really don’t mind. I don’t MIND if they bring these merchants back – except I know it will give rise to other people bringing up different occasions where they felt cheated out of something, and it will get out of all control.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Imagine the uproar:

I still have Evon-Ellen support badges. Bring that back.
I still have code segments from The Marionette. Bring that back.
Wait I deleted all my Heirlooms/Found Belongings because you stated in the forums they were worthless after Mar 18. Give me those back.

The volume of work on ANet’s part starts to grow quickly.

The concern over a temporary LS event currency and the associated vendors has been raised and if ANet feels the user base is sufficiently upset by this, hopefully they will leave vendors in place for a time after the event the next time. If not, consider this a lesson learned.

But please do not open this Pandora’s box!

Am I the only one to find it ironic that the very people stating they do not have the time or inclination to read the dev notes have no problem finding the thread to express their displeasure of “not being kept up to date” on items in a 2 week LS?
