Guild Wars 2

I mean you farm gold for it, and it’s more than likely going on sale sometime soon. If you really try you can farm and save the 100-125g it costs for a character slot.

If you’ve ever heard of the “zoom hack” that players complain about then pretty much what they can do with that.

ACs were fixed to require LoS so yeah they will get a small buff in that it will be easier to look inside a keep/tower now to use an AC to kill a treb/cata inside.

hope your line is strong enough, thats a big fish your going for

Get a guild bank. It doesn’t take much to create, 6g for the first 50 slot guild bank. Just don’t drop the guild if no one else is a member, or else you will lose it all.

Can also store mats you wanna save here too. Just not account bound mats.

Fang is an amazing guild to be a part of! I have never once felt like I was bored when rolling with Fang, nor have I ever felt my voice wasn’t heard.

If your looking for a laid back place to call home, give Fang a try!

Sup siege vendor… So all the EotM folks can spend their 100k+ badges on a stack of Omegas…. Dunno how I feel about that…

Minimize your inventory to show only 1 bag as shown as 4×5, then move it to a corner you don’t use much, organize your inv so food is at the top, press ‘i’ and double click on food/oil press ‘i’ again.

I use the lower left side and moved the chat box to the top left. That spot shows the smallest amount of UI space for the inv while still being able to see it all by scoping down.

Expect the Anomaly to double in price… Oh and the fact that you need ~350 SP to craft 1 Legendary… Hmmmm……..

I think it’s going to have more to do with achievements like jumping puzzles and such, not dailies. And it’s not going to be AP=MP, just some things will give you it

You can’t use Tomes of Knowledge in WvW after a patch soon after their release into the game, for this exact reason. As for using Writs, spamming up to 20 to avoid a stomp is silly, and saving up that many for this purpose is even more lucrative…

If you were in SW today defending forts killing Legendaries and attempting the breach, chances are you came through my taxi. A guildy and I partied up around 11-12pm PST and I starting to taxi people in under the tag “breach map farm” or something along those lines. We defended for nearly 4 hours with 3-4 tags, Red Rock being left wig out a tag as it’s the easiest to defend. I think we attempted the breach 4-5 different times, the last one with Gold at 50% hp. I can assure you the map was not capped as I had a steady flow of players hopping in and scattering to different parts of the map, so it is doable, just need to adjust numbers at certain forts for when the breach happens.

I intend to keep this going until no one will come on the map.

Your most likely getting trolled too. Precursors I have never heard dropping from rank up chests, ascended armor/weapon boxes and trinkets yes, but very rare. Expect to get to rank 1000 and only seeing 2 exo, 1 ascended, few rares and a ton of blues and greens.

WvW rewards are not in sync with PvE rewards, so if WvW is what you like to do, get use to it =\

After redoing my math using the shoes in Bloodtide coast is more cost efficient than using the coat in Hirathi Hinterland only because you get both cotton and linen drops. If the coat was a slightly higher level at the same price it would be about equal still.

So in the end this topic is a waste of space lol

Hmm maybe I can’t calculate? Lol. I’ll try this again and post my data. I’m also did those calculations from my phone and not on paper or spreadsheet so I need to retry lol

Wait…. Somehow I’m more aware of things first thing in the morning. I recieved 44 cotton and 45 linen from 28 coats. That 89/28 so yeah that’s slightly more than 3 per.

Nevermind…. But thanks do your responses lol

I was testing to see if level 43 coats were more profitable than other methods of karma to gold. My small test yielded a little over 1.15karma/1c or about 11500/1g. I think the shoe method still yields more @ 1.25kamra/1c or 12500/1g

Well that’s the thing I was using coats for this method. Salvaged 28, got back 45 cotton and linen. So I’m confused why it didn’t give me more

Use all your mystic kits to max your magic find out From Ectos xD

Could have farmed them like I did. 7 toons 3-5 bags each plus extra incase I ever want more bag slots. Sure you could have sold all that candy corn for 20-30c a piece and made money, or you can choose to think like me and say they free!

Plus some players like myself already had 20 slots on a number of toons, so swapping them for candy corn bags actually net you 6-8g

So today I salavaged some clothe armor and noticed the conversion rate to scraps was about 1.6. Did this get a nerf? It’s also possible I hit the deposit material button somewhere when compacting my bags…

Just wanted to check this out before wasting more time converting karma to cloth

Welcome to WvW loot tables. Just be glad it actually DROPS rares…

Funny thing, I’ve seen the Lich decimate the Horror in half a second. So fun to watch xD

Bellizare.5816:

You think your life is hard? You don’t even main a Ranger.
~Desolation~

And I’m using my ranger : )

Oi! kitten Rangers and that kitten Knockback destroying a perfect stack of fresh spawned mobs from the loot doors. And the troll KB against Vet doors knocking them halfway across the map.

I farm this event anywhere from 3-8 hours a day, usually straight through sometimes with a 30-60 min break in the middle. There is a way to lower your DR, but it’s inevitable it will happen. Start at the Loot Door in SE corner and work Clockwise. When all doors are closed head to the middle part and make 2 loops, returning to the Lich spawn area to start over.

This method helps to lower the DR rate I noticed, having farmed tagged up doing this rotation for an 8 hour spread non-stop.

There also seems to be a weird bug with the Large Candy Bags not dropping at random times. Many players on my maps report it. I noticed sometimes it’ll happen if you happen to double down on a boss several times you won’t get the Steel Chest drop. It’s weird because I have always been under the impression that Champ bags are not affected by DR, though a small number of players insist that this is true. Confirmation from the Devs would be nice on that part. The only reason I believe Champ bags are not affected by DR is because of FGS and WvW KTrains, and CS farming. Only for this event have I not received a Champ Bag after dealing a minimum of 200k damaged to a legendary boss (IE the Viscount and Lich)

The reason this works is because the Pumpkin Oil, Crystallized Nougat, and Sharpening Skull are all UTILTY items, which take the place of your regular Oils, Crystals, Stones; hence the name of the items.

Please note that the Magic find and exp boosts are Passive effects like regular foods, while the actual bonus to stats, which I believe are 100,75,75 (83 for the celestial stay one?) are only if you have revived someone. The Active bonus appears to last about 10 seconds and stacks in duration.

I feel like this will be a new addition to farming events in cursed shore and other places where player downs happen a lot. You only need to Rez for about 2 seconds to get the buff so everyone can get it. You also give the buff to the player you rezzed for 10 seconds.

Just food for thought people

The price went down to about 1-1.25 gold now. I feel like if it stays steady here farming gold would be the easiest way.

Does anyone know the Mystic forge method? In it’s entire process for making Silver Doubloons if you could. I have seen so many mixed answers on this =\. Tbh I don’t know if it’s even viable atm.

JoeytheHutt.1742:

There is also the option to farm bags, I had a doubloon every 50 or so bag. I havent tried to buy bags from tp, but some do that. I preferred the dredges, they seemed to drop more bags. Dont have numbers, could be wrong.

Where do you farm for these bags?

So I have been pondering this decision for a while now, and have finally decided to go through with it. I’ve read through plenty of Guides on crafting a Legendary. Pretty straightforward on what to do for all except the whole Silver Doubloon part….

My question is to anyone who has gone through this tedious process of collecting the required 250, what is the single best way of obtaining them? I know there are a few methods, but I’m curious as to know I there is an easier way.

The methods I am aware of are the following:
1. Park Level 21-35 Alts on JP chests.
2. Mystic Forge them using various recipes.
3. Farm Gold to buy them from TP

Of these methods I am a little confused on the Mystic Forge recipes. What method works best here? On the subject of the Forge there’s the precursor as well. Farming gold, chests, mats for crafting rares; what’s the best way to do this?

Any help on these matters would be much appreciative. Looking forward to wielding my Juggernaut

urtv.8791:

how do you accidentally purchase 54 recipes from the vendor?thats some serious clicking

My thoughts exactly

I was confused too. I was looking for the usual symbol on the map for the force, but like you couldn’t find it lol

Your best bet might be to but stacks of moldy bags, use buy orders. Maybe 500 a day? Open em all and sell everything you don’t need until you have your 250 eyes. I know personally I have had 4 of them drop, opening about 500 bags.

Just a thought

What’s wrong with karma PVT armour, other than the need for a helm?

You can’t get back a single rune you put into Karma armor – that’s what’s horridly wrong.

This. Entirely this. Same goes for WvW Badge gear.

Also, Sentinels vs Soldiers. Only using Armor and potent stone for this math

Sentinel— power: 1258, vital: 1231
Soldier— power: 1345, vital: 1140

I tested just now, if you have 1 on your spear or whatever, and kill something underwater the stack is kept on land, but not the other way around. Also if you equip a stacking sigil with stacks already on you while on land and de-equip they all disappear.

I do believe this is kittened to kitten

[Fang] is now recruiting players during the Late SEA hours/Early EU hours (3pm-6pm UTC).

If you would like to contact us about this, please feel free to message myself or Chris ingame with any questions.

Have a nice day!

Does this guild care about points?

Only when it’s fun. We do try to help out with our server’s ppt but we love a good fight but a fight inside a defended tower or keep is just as good as an open-field fight.

These fights are actually some of the best I have encountered while playing WvW with [Fang].

We accept members from all forms of experience and backgrounds, you won’t find discrimination from our members.

When we raid in WvW we can go anywhere from a 2 man Havok team to a full blown blob, it all depends on the night and mood of our drivers, which we have a wide variety of.

If you think [Fang] is a good fit for you come join the fun! Just send me a message here or Ingame and I’ll get to you within a day

So since when is Architecture a requirement to build Guild Cata’s? I thought all you would need is Art of War IV since thats all the Wiki says, but a Guild I just made has Arch I and Art of War IV and Guild Cata shows I need to unlock Architecture II (just sped up Arch II to see, and aparently thats an unknown Prereq?)

Intended as such or a bug?

You can use a staff or mace. Both are great for Clerics stats, or you can just hold on to it until you decide what to do with it.

What does this post have to do with anything???

It’s because of WvW Season 2. Matches are determined by the amounts of points your server has. Points are scored 5 for 1st 3 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd. So if your sever is losing constantly then your points are not accumulating high enough to move to the blue color. When Season 2 is over matches will go back to the system they put in place a few months ago, basing match on your overall Score (Can’t think what it’s actually called, but you can view it on mos.millenium.com), and it uses a formula to place with with other servers close to your score for more even matches.

Char.4209:

The best solution would be to make the armor salvageable but with special conditions for wvw/karma stuff:
They should limit the amount of ectoplasm globs to max. 1 or even 0
They should make the salvaged runes/sigills accountbound

There would be no profit, but you can rescue part of the stuff you already own.

No they shouldn’t. All game modes should be equal. You don’t make a lot of profit from WvW, not near as much as PvE anyway. Allowing us to farm Exotic Gear for Ectos and Insig/Inscrip would only be fair to the WvW population. Yeah the market will flop around a bit at first but once everyone dumps their stash of badges it’ll equal out, and you can bet that won’t take too long for PvE’rs to dump their badge stash for a quick buck.

They could just make it salvageable. I mean really it would make a dent in the economy at first with people dumping their stock of badges, but after that Badge farming is a lot harder than Dungeon Token farming, and the economy would balance itself out in less than a month.

I was wrong in my original post too. WvW gear costs Gold plus Badges. Gloves, the cheapest, costs 80silver and 120 badges. Buying gear straight out with badges costs 213 Badges, but the gear if I’m not mistaken is only level 75, and I believe you can only get Soldiers that way.

And Karma gear, really? After all those nerfs to Karma we still can’t salvage the gear for some profit? It’s such a pain to farm for karma anymore, why can we make profit from it yet? The only things I purchase with karma are Salvage Kits, and temple Accessories like Cavaliers, that you can only get there and maybe in EotM.

And if the change is made, we should still be able to get our inscriptions and insignias as a chance in the drop table from Badge gear. Don’t screw us out of that much

No, why would you be able to buy them in bulk of 25 if they were permanent?

I have issues with this as well. It doesn’t seem fair that players that dungeon run can profit from their dungeon gear, but players in WvW that farm badges all day can’t make profit off of their gear? Seems a bit one sided.

For those that argue that the market will sink one way or another because of all the badges in the market, what about those players that had all those dungeon tokens when patch got because they had nothing to spend em on? It takes about a week of farming Zergs to get roughly 1000 badges, gear costs around 50-100 badges. So in a week of Badge farming you can get roughly 10-20 armor pieces. Dungeon tokens? You can get 180-240 from each dungeon per day for the first run, further runs show diminishing returns, but still in a week that’s what, 1260-1680 per dungeon per week. 7-9 pieces of Exotic armor a week PER dungeon. There’s what 8 dungeons? Come on 60+ Wxotic armor a week by farming dungeons? You can’t get anywhere close to thts in WvW with Badges.

Why can’t we salvage our WvW Badge bought gear?? Makes no sense at all!!

For some fun in the sun, and a great experience come join [Fang] today!

[Fang] is a wonderful place to be, with an amazing Commander leading us. We like to have fun, while remaining serious keeping baddies from taking our stuff in our

We’re all looking forward to our first GvG since Summertime! It’s gonna be a blast.

If your an Ele, Necro, Guard or War please consider joining us. You would be a wonderful asset to our awesome team. If interested PM me ingame

Would it work to have 5 defend the gate and 10 kill the champs I each lane, then split the rest between 2 float teams? Float 1 starts at lane 1 then shifts to 3 after their chain is severed, then on to 5, Float 2, start at 2 then 4. 2 would go back to 1 if it happens to fail and so on. So with a hard capped map aprox 125-150 players right? 15 in each lane makes 75. So two teams of 25-35ish floating. Everyone in the lane would go which would put phase 2 with 40-50 so 8-10 on each champ. Maybe making them easier to go down.

Just a thought.

Wish I would have taken a screenshot of Sunnyhill the other day. Door was stealthier. And I was not the only one to witness this. A few of us tried running through what we thought was an open door ready to contest the circle and all we got was a hard smack in the face by an invisible door =\ stealthed doors exist!

Take your PvF to www.gw2wvw.net you can do all the blaming and name calling you want without dear of being shut down or deleted.

Great job at getting our thread closed. Let’s keep this one clean the last 2 days can we? All the blame game about #’s must stop. This is why ANet is closing this forum.

Hope everyone had a great New Years and I ready to collect some more bags. I know I’ve gotten plenty from SBI’s early morning blob the past few days. Put up some good fights. But you can really start to lay off the PPT war. We get the picture, you beat us this round. Now can we all settle for some great fights and maybe even join us in a Karma train Friday?

Here’s to hoping next weeks match will be bit more even matched on both sides. Good luck the rest of the week out there!

So the other day I tried to purchase some cheap Light armor to salvage for Linen. I found that anything named ’Acolyte’s’ vs ‘Acolyte’ would not let me salvage. Why can this be listed on the TP??? It’s not Karma armor so why can’t I Salvage it?

Well we are missing our All Star Commander this week. And a good number of our Guilds are still on holiday. Doesn’t help the fact this is the first we’ve been Green in months, and were all still trying to get used to that. Hopefully by tomorrow well be back in fighting shape
