Guild Wars 2

The Watchnight Statue is requiring a Favor of the Festival, from an event no longer available (Labrythine something). At this point, it can be made from two other Favors: Favor of the Pavilions, selling for 17 S; and Favor of the Bazaar, selling for 200 G, give or take. It’s my understanding that, earlier, it didn’t require the Favor of the Festival at all.

Thank you, all.
I’ve started playing with the speedy kits option. It works, with lots of key pressing, as noted. I’m happy to have an option.

I’ve less than a year’s experience in this whole MMO world, with GW2 being my sole experience. I’m loving it and I’m learning. I couldn’t find a similar thread here in the Engineers area of the Forum, so … here goes.

Maybe I’ve gotten spoiled by the (almost) permanent Warrior speed boost (attached to melee weapons) and … is there anything similar to that for Engineers? Something that lasts longer that 5 or 10 seconds and is built in?

I know there are some runes (Pack, etc.), but I’m not sure that’s a really smart use of those precious upgrade slots.

If I need to just “get over it”, that’s fine. I’ll learn how to maneuver slow, although that is a challenge for me in WvW.

HgH is a trait – Human growth hormone, that gives might upon every use of an elixir.

EG – is the Elixir Gun kit

Thank you! The thread now makes even more sense.

I’m fairly new to the whole MMO thing, GW2 being my first. At this point, I’m just having fun figuring out how things work. Thank you all for your perspectives, suggestions, and build ideas. Being a noob, I’ve no idea what SB, EG, or HGH stand for. I’ll probably bang my head against the nearest wall when you tell me, and thank you.

Just read Josh’s comments above. I’ve been keeping track of where I’ve been from the start. I’ve done a watchwork/minion event in 12 of 13 maps. I haven’t had a chance to do Fields of Ruin yet. I’ve done several maps twice. I’ve been sitting at 11 of 13 for 2 days, waiting for the two I thought I’d missed (Dredgehaunt and Maelstrom). Did ‘em, including minion/watchwork. Still 11 of 13. Fun events and … it would be really lovely to get credit. It’s a lot of time …

I just finished Maelstrom, got the drops, but no credit. However, we didn’t take Scarlet all the way down before it timed out. Does that make the difference? You get the loot but not the credit?
