There is a trait that all classes have that creates a cloud / other aoe upon impact from falling and cuts fall damage in half
from what I have seen keys are a very rare drop but come more frequently as rewards for personal story completion and maybe zone completion I get them from other chests and have been able to chain open as many kitten chests in a row before. but the most effective method of getting them is in fact to purchase them from the gem shop
well I have completed Mount Maelstrom and not Straights so I’ll guess it was there that I got it. Thanks
I am now lvl 80 and somewhere I picked up a Carrion Forest Dagger of Intelligence (Exotic lvl 70 dagger)
http://www.gw2db.com/items/52729-carrion-forest-dagger-of-intelligence
I was pointing out to people that even at lvl 80 I haven’t found a dagger with better stats to swap it out. and I occasionally I link it for people to see and someone always asks wow where did you get that. … and that is my problem I have NO CLUE can someone help me out and tell me where I might have gotten it?
Ill start by saying I used to love farming in GW1 I would use my warrior and go kill ettins outside beetletun for hours I would turn on a play list of “killin” and just relax and zone the world around me out. To this day I cannot hear certain Within Temptation music without feeling like I should be killing ettins.
while I did do the farming in hopes of something good I also did it largely for the …zen of it.
I would start with a few salvage kits and keep going till I had a full inventory. so hours of enjoyment for me
I know I can’t be alone in that.
I would like to see a farm mode where after a while the game may either automatically enter or offer a popup about it and instead of stopping all good drops and limiting even trash, offer new trash that’s just worth even less like 1 copper and cut the drop rate on better stuff so I still get occasionally rewarded for the farm but not make it a get rich quick scheme.
and suddenly I’m not even sure I made a nickels worth of cents in that whole thing
I was thinking of trying this given the limited number of skills.
Would you mind sharing how you mapped the keys (x button = action 1 or whatever)
I saw “Charr Mander” and “Cat Man Du”
Im lvl 80 so higher level mobs are hard to come by
Problem 1:
I like doing jump puzzles but having 6 minions stacked on top of me on a tiny ledge
gets annoying.
Problem 2:
I have like 10 different slots in my bank filled with 3 of this tonic and 3 of that tonic. and I never spend enough time in town to even think of using them.
I finally found a way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak.
I keep a tonic with me and anytime I wish to desummon my minions using it makes them all go away. and since we can dismiss the effect of the tonic its a quick and easy solution. for getting the big uglies out of the way.
alternatively they can be removed by replacing their skills with a signet then activating the signet. but the tonic method is much easier
there seems to be an issue with displaying the page tabs at times
like the necro bug forum

I posted this nearly a month ago in the game bugs forum and it got merged with a different issue with the same trait then buried and since I haven’t seen it listed here I thought to post it here to try to get some feedback or perhaps get it added to the list.
Mark of Evasion
The description says –
“Leave a Mark of Blood when you dodge.”
What it actually does –
“Create a Mark of Blood after you dodge.”
The difference –
To leave a mark when dodge implies that the mark is left where I once stood. This would be good as that’s usually where the monster is.
Instead it is creating a mark at the location I end my dodge roll at. This is not good because if I dodged correctly there is no monster here. Also as a Necromancer I usually have several minions out to help me fight they have a habit of keeping a mobs attention. So if it makes its way to me and I dodge away in order for the mark to do any good the mob has to follow me to my new location quickly. Which is not usually likely to happen thanks to my minions.
My Necro hit 80 within the first week I still play it because I love it. There was a couple rough parts where the battle was hard but I spent most of the trek from 40 -74 with “It’s not so bad these mobs are only 5 levels above me” as my motto
when I hit 70 and started through Orr I found it getting more and more difficult until I decided that the area itself needed more balancing so I went to LA and took my jewelcrafting from 30 to 340 and that leveled me all the way to 80 then I was able to go back to orr and run smoothly through and now have very few problems in the level 80 zones.
my biggest problem with my necro is this forum full of people who seem to love to kitten and moan more than anything. I meankittenpeople just once I’d like to see this forum have threads of people sharing the things they liked instead of just carrying on and on and on about kitten they think the game owes them.
So I recently hit level 80 and only have 50% completion so I figure I have approx 150 heart quests left. I recieved a karma booster that lasts for 1 hour the other day and got thinking what if I went to all remaining heart quests and almost finished them save for like 1 kill or 1 turn in item not turned in then popped a karma (and just for the hill of it an exp booster) and then mapped around finishing them as fast as I could with the hope of getting all 150 done in the hour.
I know its a built in function of the game but it kinda seems like a bit of an exploit to me.
would this be acceptable or frowned upon …
If it is frowned upon perhaps a cap should be placed upon the boosters
While I do try to stray away from too much complaining I must say that I was greatly dissatisfied with the orr 70-80 zones the lack of hearts made me go O_o?! and the aggro range and sheer quantity of mobs made it overwhelming for me even tho I had recently been quoted as saying “Hey its not so bad they are only 5 levels above me”. I was serious about it too from 40-68 or so I was easilly killing things way above me. In the end I gave up on orr and went to level via crafting for the 74-80 levels. In the end I actually liked doing it that way and have since went back to orr to work on the zones but still feel that the whole zone is simply unfinished
I had this same issue for a while and still do occasionally but I figured out a repeatable way to replicate the issue and fix it.
To replicate the issue I simply press esc while in game and exit the game and wait a couple minutes then double click the shortcut on my desktop to run the game again when I log in the TP does not work properly.
To fix it I did the following
1 Turned off UAC —this did not work
2 Right clicked on shortcut clicked grand full administrator rights --- this did not work.
3 Right clicked on shortcut went to properties then compatibility and told to run as administrator — This did not work.
4 Navigated to the guild wars 2 folder and right clicked on the gw2.exe itself then clicked grant admin privileges —this did not work
5 Right clicked GW2.exe itself not the shortcut, AFTER granting full admin privileges ( as indicated by the presence of a small lock icon on the game icon for me at least.) clicked run as administrator. -- THIS WORKED
I think it is possible that only steps 4 and 5 are necessary to make it function.
Every time I use the esc / click exit to desktop method to leave the game it reverts gw2.exe to not having admin privileges so I have to reset that. and then run as administrator. however running in windowed mode and simply clicking the x button sometimes does not reset the permissions. (but not all the time)
I apologize for posting this in the wrong place at 3 am when I posted this I missed the bright red thread at the top about the sub forum. So can someone move this in there?
We have veteran and Champion mobs I would love to see an “Ancient” version too specifically one that is 250+ years old and still carries around its old loot in trophy form. Such as an Ancient Ettin who carries around a “Superior Vigor Rune” that you really can’t do anything with it so would simply be a trophy.
The Ancient version could be a rare spawn of veteran strength. and the trophies could lead to a collectable series (hopefully with their own section in the collectables bank tab)
Additionally adding a couple achievements to this such as “Antique hunter —Kill and loot an Ancient Mob”, “Relic collector — Collect 10 Antique Trophies”, and Museum Curator — Collect All Antique Trophies" Hell the last one could come with a “the Curator” title nostalgia alone would keep me hunting them, and there are plenty of iconic mobs with memorable loot in each expansion from GW1 to keep it going through the future of GW2.
So I have gotten several laughs out of when my toon chooses to speak. like the other day I found myself face to …err rear with a Charr and right at that moment my character calls out “ahh refreshing” or something to that effect. Another time I found myself “inside” a large mob just as I discovered a zone so my toon calls out “I’ve never been here before”
So a friend of mine and I were talking about the recent waves of hacking and the reports of people seeing hackers logged into friends accounts. and others sitting watching helplessly as a guild leaders compromised account cleans out their guild bank. I had seen reports of people submitting tickets and the hackers still not being stopped in time, due to the need of the reps need to check facts and investigate.
I made the comment that it would be nice to see a link on the site where a person could go and enter the original email account that was used for creation and their CD key and get the account instantly logged out of the game and blocked pending a Response to a ticket.
Given that those two bits of information may be very difficult for anyone other than the original owner to actually have, it should be a fairly reliable method of quickly booting unauthorized users from your account. both for A-net who should be able to assume that it is in fact a legit request from the actual owner. and for the player who with any luck can stop a hack attempt before they make off with everything.
This could also reduce the work a customer service rep needs to do to repair hacker damage. And of course restoration of the account would have to go through the normal ticket system which would verify fully the information of the account.
I love my necro I only occasionally have issues with it and I think those were mob balance issues rather than necro issues. while leveling I actually made the comment “Oh its not so bad they are only 5 levels above me” and I was serious. I enjoy working for a kill. I run with all minions and flesh golem. I like standing back with a staff dropping aoe then running in and switching to dagger to melee with my minions if minions die I hit f1 and keep right on attacking without worrying about my HP while my cool downs expire then coming out running back a ways resummoning stuff and diving back in.
or if IM feeling lazy I stay back and switch between staff and scepter depending on cool downs.
In dungeons I swap my heal to well of blood and my elite to … the one with the turrets and fight however I feel like it. and if things are going espically bad Ill swap another minion for signet of undeath.
I just ran the level 40 dungeon in explorable (save the butler branch) tonight with guildies and I didn’t have any harder time at it than any of them.
I went from just under 100 jewelcrafting to 350 in about 2 hours
I was level 74 when I started so I had several mats already and suplimented from the TP where needed. I started at 2 gold 35 silver and some copper I made stuff purchased stuff and sold stuff and ended with 1 gold 50 silver and some copper (tho I did get lower than that at points). I also went from level 74 to 80
I made base items then discovered everything else. that’s it
*edited to add in the embellished items
I hit 80 last night my personal story … still lvl 33 bad blood I kept getting knocked off half the time I would get stuck on a pebble or something (especially after the middle breaking point) and have to jump to get over it. but of course I cant seem to jump over something I am right against instead I jump straight up.
and that’s only half the issue other times the flags wouldn’t render for me (even when I was running at “Best Appearance”
falling off and being sent back outside in a downed state only served to frustrate me more as I would have to sit there bandaging myself for 10 -15 seconds, and of course bandage isn’t even available right away so I have to wait for it to cool down first.
and then there was the joy of occasionally falling off the left side … if you haven’t had it happen you stand a good chance of landing safely on a ledge just out of jumping range if you go off the left side. and since you can’t jump back up you have to jump off.
I would much appreciate the addition of at least 2 new checkpoints to this mission one at the start of the first leg and one at the mid point. and if it doesn’t exist one at the far end so I would never have to repeat that again.
While I am sure there are others out there already, the two I tried did not work properly, so I decided to share mine.
I created this to help plan my crafting for all the basic recipes and discoveries It can be used to easily figure prices and determine the best purchasing avenue (ore ingots or components) as well as make a shopping list, and simply determine materials needed.
It doesn’t include anything outside the standard creations yet.
How it works
Change the yellow boxes to appropriate numbers for your needs
also note that since I was building this for leveling I left all the items set to 1 so it starts with the ability to easily jump in to start leveling. you will want to eventually change these to 0.
also here is a link to the google doc version.

I turned off editing so you will have to download your own version
(edited by Darkorical.9213)
are you sure its actual game lag and not fps drop from all the spell effects? and even if it is actually lag, 40 people casting and moving non stop is alot different than 40 people standing around doing nothing.
the wolf is available to Collectors edition only
try just pressing the number key to cast 1 time then wait if you are using click cast you may click once see nothing happen click again and when your lag catches up you summon and sac at the same time because all commands go through.
I had a minor version of this happen (purchased the same item twice) one trick to avoid this is if you click and it seems nothing happened assume you did click it then close the trading post then reopen it and check the pickup tab. for me that will usually show that I did in fact click the button.
Ive seen other sound issues but nobody has mentioned hearing loud castanets so I thought to point it out.
am I among the few who thinks that perhaps A-net changed the drops and availiblity because they don’t want people to simply power level crafting professions? maybe they WANT us to take it slow and work at getting stuff instead of learning what waypoints to port to to buy stuff the cheapest?
UpSide: I got rewards for something the other day and it was not one but 2 identical nice swords.
DownSide: I was on my necro and cant use swords.
I see this and other such things alot. the rewards I get for things are seldom usable by me or simply the wrong level.
also of note is the 100% completion rewards for finishing a 45-55 zone (the one south of LA I think) I got level 47 gear. That truely makes no since as the game already expects me to be higher level than that when it gives me the reward.
I have all my sounds turned way down but when I get a jagged horror even his footfalls are full volume
As the title says the total number of gems I own is not showing in the shop I know I have hit the buy button 4 times 1 time to buy just shy of 300 gems for 1 gold a 2nd time to buy just enough gems to make an even 300 then 2 more times to buy 1 gold worth, both purchases being in the 390 gems range. My gold goes away but I have no way to see for sure how many gems I have. as the little box with buy gems and redeem code below it is blank.
I too have noticed my minions just standing around watching me fight. I’ve also noticed a graphical issue where the golem seems to stand at attention and glide over the ground … its kinda funny
I see monsters randomly getting the determined boon alot … sometimes for 19 hours (as listed by the popup info
I experienced this myself I was at 69,874 / 75,000 when I finished a zone and moved to the next and noticed it had stopped moving. after a while I said fuggit and stopped being careful and died facing several high level mobs but it was frustrating
They should NOT be the focus of your game play, or even really paid attention to, as they are made to be small temporary bits of extra damage.
While I agree with this there is the point that more often than not they do NOT live long enough to do any damage.
When I am directly against something I cannot jump. On one hand I can see being against a rock cliff and being unable to bend my knees to jump but when there is a divot on the ground I cannot jump over because I am too close that is just annoying.
Lucky you I can’t seem to complete it. Even on full graphic settings half the time the flags don’t render for me or I get suck on a pebble on the walk way and take too long to get across. or experience the 0 distance away jumping issue.
The Jagged Horror is summoned with quite a high degen and for me continues to degen even after it is laying on the ground dead. Tho I have not timed it, it’s degen seems to tick twice per second for a total life span of maybe 5 seconds. When not doing an event where mobs are spawning right and left its life span is usually not enough to reach the next monster. So its main purpose seems to be allowing me to hear my toon say “Your time has come again minion” and “I loved that minion”
The number 3 10 point trait in the Blood Magic tree does exactly the opposite of what it says it does.
The description says –
“Leave a Mark of Blood when you dodge.”
What it actually does –
“Create a Mark of Blood after you dodge.”
The difference –
To leave a mark when dodge implies that the mark is left where I once stood. This would be good as that’s usually where the monster is. Instead it is creating a mark at the location I end my dodge roll at. This is not good because if I dodged correctly there is no monster here. Also as a Necromancer I usually have several minions out to help me fight they have a habit of keeping a mobs attention. So if it makes its way to me and I dodge away in order for the mark to do any good the mob has to follow me to my new location quickly. Which is not usually likely to happen thanks to my minions.
While in the catacombs my group was facing Vassar and Ralena we were attempting to pull one of them from their room into the hall to the north and then to shut the door behind that one to keep the two separated.
We were having some difficulty at this and I noticed my necro skill “Spectral Grasp” and thought to use it to pull one of them through the door with it. I discovered that there are some vertical axis issues with this skill. Tho the issue I am mentioning here is the one time we did get one pulled into the room I attempted to pull them further up the ramp which caused them to be pulled through the ramp floor and then the entire encounter reset.
