Guild Wars 2

Personally, I want the ascended weapons, but unless they are either trade-able or they make crafting not the only reliable way to get them (by this I mean random drops are not reliable because you sometimes won’t get a chest with the stats you want), I have no plans to go for them.

I use the sword/dagger combo and I have a lot of fun with it while running around with power food buffs and powerful potions of undead slaying. I like the dagger because it lets you stealth while doing lots of damage (cloak and dagger ability), and the throwing dagger I can use to hit multiple enemies at once. I think the sword/dagger combo would work out well for you.

I share the same issue with not being able to sell all these account-bound materials such as piles of bloodstone dust from the champion bags. Honestly, I was never really into crafting and I did not level up my crafting anything past 200 Jeweler, however, I do enjoy selling my materials for a decent profit when I get them. What I don’t like is how I can’t sell any of these raw ascended mats (even if some were a mere 3 copper per piece) such as bloodstone which I have almost three stacks of.

I really don’t think crafting should be the only reliable option of getting the best gear (it should still definitely be an option, of course), as random drops will sometimes give you items that are not stats you want or even items that you can’t even use. I don’t think everyone has enough time to spend a couple weeks grinding and crafting the best in slot weaponry (I completly understand if ANet is trying to get more people into crafting though, I’m just saying it should not be the reliable option). With the exotics system and its weapons and mats trade-able, you did not have to do weeks worth of work to get a single weapon, but you could purchase them if you did not want to craft them (not saying that these weren’t a little too easy to get, but I think the most powerful gear should be trade-able like legendaries are). An issue I have with the ascended weaponry is what if you get a weapon you don’t want or can’t use but can’t sell it due to it being account bound. Personally I would enjoy the nice bit of profit selling a weapon I can’t use or don’t want, but with these new ascendeds you can’t do that.

Basically I would look forwards to being able to at least sell these basic ascended materials such as bloodstone dust, and maybe even sell the ascended itself (I doubt this is going to happen, but I have a reason for it in the paragraph above).

I changed the way Recruitment works to be more flexible when I am not online. I will still accept whispers in-game, however

Combat Adventurers is currently a small guild started up in June 2013 with the purpose of serving as a newbie-friendly, helpful, PvE-based group with a point of helping our members (new or experienced) by doing dungeons, missions, and gaining influence and merits. We will work on boosts, banners, banquets and anything to help our members out whenever we have the influence. We currently have a few upgrades such as the guild stash, guild armorer, and the guild workshop, but we are making an effort to level up everything to gain more upgrades and more bonuses for our members.

Requirements:

This guild requires its members to represent the guild (you really are not doing anything for the guild unless you do represent), and be at least a remotely active GW2 player. We are currently only accepting Jade Quarry members that meet the requirements above. We will try our best to stick to these requirements and not add any more. You may be a complete newbie to the game, or a very experienced and skilled player and still join.

Joining the guild:

If you would like to join the guild, just send me PM on these forums with a message saying that you would like to join and that you meet the requirements above. I will read my PMs more than once almost every day and I will send invites to anyone who applies and meets the requirements.

We will offer promotions to members for being active and friendly guild members.

Guild Website/Mumble Plans:
We currently do not have a website or a mumble, as we still are a very small guild, but we do have plans for at least a website (if the guild gets large enough), and maybe even a mumble server next year.

We hope to see you in the guild soon!
