They announced they were getting rid of glory boosters awhile ago. And I am just gonna play devils advocate on this one…
- You have a hoarding problem – As you receive glory boosters you should use it immediately, not point in hoarding them up to 100s or 1000s like people have for some reason.. When I get a new GLory booster I use it right away as I am saving up Leveling tombs desperately so I can make level 80s at will.
- People still using it, So again I REALLY enjoy getting and using them as I am getting glory and spending before it is gone. .
- You rather them comp you some kitten EXP Booster or a crafting Booster? Cause that is all they would EVER reward you at most anyways.
#Should be more upset pvp forge going bye bye.
I think the main concept for zerkers or “glass cannons” will never fade away. Always going to be a burst through warriors, right now they just the best. I think you will transition easily because the main thing is knowing boss fights and how to stay alive. I think GS still my favorite course you will hear otherwise in your journey for DPS Zerk Warrior builds. GS with pretty much never ending fury good enough for me.
You might be a warrior if…. You use a rifle and a bow with heavy armor
You might be a warrior if… You wear heavy amazing looking armor yet are the biggest glass cannon of the group
You might be a warrior if… You made a band and called Hambow
You might be a warrior if… you felt like you needed 32k health at level 2 in WvW (dear god why?)
You might be a warrior if…. You play GW2 (everyone has one right)
You might be a warrior if… you somehow got a Legendary GS (No one uses it on anything but warr right? never saw a mesmer with eternity just saying. )
You might be a warrior if… you like having abilities but sometimes just like using 1 to kill things.
S/S Bow Warrior still good for Dungeons. People like the easy “okay he hits hard” and see that burst right away. Condi I think is equal vs boss, and mobs are never really a problem, and if it is a tuff mob condi down not bad. I think it is just fine but you will be using your bow a lot more than you want to prob. With sword sword you get two counters so it gives you a little more durability and honestly if people question it just tell them to see for themselves.
Shared account. Rotate doing daily.
Well Orr you will just not really be able to do solo. I guess warrior fastest with a beserker sword build. 3 and 5 help move around quick (Also trait to move faster with melee weapon equipped.) On other hand thief has blink with Short Bow and is able to have trait to give swiftness whenever you roll. Overall I think warrior will be easy end game but that is just MY THOUGHTS. GS Longbow your way to victory. or hammer to practice for pvp
3 keys 3 scraps :P
This was lower investment for me because I am pretty poor, also if I though it was only going to reach 60c (its current high) it would be bad investment, this is just all going to sit on an alt till it inflates like iron did.
50 250 stacks… well i need 25 more stacks :P
Well I think it is okay to KILL undead things, as well as them to be evil or villians, just not to play as evil (Like the necro). I do not want to start argument about if necro good or bad or anything just little clarification haha.
I will admit I thought about buying some of the 22 copper Superior Runes and Sigils in hopes of upgrade on them for patch haha. 90% in on mithril though, I feel a change.
All really good ideas.
Guild Wars refers to an event in Human history in the game. Not guilds.
Worst argument ever. The event known as the Guild Wars happened because Guilds are an integral part of the Guild Wars universe. It’s completely illogical to claim that Guilds shouldn’t be an integral part of your own story within the Guild Wars universe as well.
That the same argument for GW1 there is no Guild war in GW1 because it happen before GW1. Its like final fantasy it realty was not the final one was it. These are just names nothing more if you put too much worth into them your always going to be disappointing in the game. This is something you need to take for a lesson in life too names are a very shallow important to call some one something or to be called your self is only skin deep. If you make the name too important then it will have more meaning then its worth giving the name caller or the name it self the power. So its best not to look too far into a name they have a lot of meanings and often you will never comply understand the full meaning of the name.
No I am not going to let it go, even if this game was called JarjarWars2 I would still be upset with the condition of the Guild System. It just happens to be EXTRA embarrassing that GUILD is in the name.
I like stars. Please +1 this post so I can have a star. If you +1 this post enough, I will be happy.
You people are awesome.
Yes thumbs up all around +1 +1 +1 +1
Ranged in this game already borders on useless and you want to make it even less viable and fun?
No thanx.
What?! You guys must be high. First off Range is OP. Consider the fact the most common build right now is HamBow for WARRIORS, WARRIORS are tearing it up range in PVE and PVP. I agree rangers should be able to use Rifles but no buff of ANY kind is needed to range. That is all. Thank you…

Mad King runes…. ahhh the memories…
for the x million time, the title is related to Tyrian history or rather it was in GW1 and GW2 is the continuation of the brand. That is easy to find via google or in this forum.
That being said, well, I have no idea why we are still missing basic guild features we had in GW1 at launch.
Man are you getting paid off or what. So tired of this argument. I first off will say love both GW1 and 2, and I know that guild battles are probably getting released in spring/summer patch, but stop throwing “Lore” at people for the game title, GW focused on Guild Battles as the best thing for end game, and it was about Guilds, yes there was a time when guilds battled blah blah blah, Lore is great sucks, but guilds were a MAIN focus in Guild Wars. If you have Guild in your title people expect you to have a good system for it (not the worst of any big MMO right now). It is basically saved party templates you jump back and forth from and an extra storage space. I wouldn’t make a game called Pokemon Battle then come back and say well that is more LORE their are no Pokemon in this game…..
that will happen. all obscure profit-making things seem obvious in hindsight. you should still give yourself credit for thinking of it.
That is true maybe these “Obvious Trends” only seem common sense because I see the end result not in the reverse.
I just want to voice my support in this for Devs, I too agree it would be nice to keep this account wide, and I think you would not lose much money on this either, for example if I see medium armor on sale that I like I want to buy it even though I do not have any people who us it. Simply because it would be nice to have one day on an alt I would buy it.
Need to make a “Farmers Market” where Farmers work with TPers to sell items at highest possible times and make them extra profit they split. Like playing the Stock Market.
Yeah I think everyone shared in the Great Iron Inflation of February 2014 profits on some level haha. I know it has peaked my interest, when I got on and saw how much it had gone up in price I just thought…. some players made a kitten ton of money off this….
I think that necros are a challenge for both my Mesmer and my Warrior (only two classes I play). From a mesmer stand point, pet builds crush my clones and mess up my shatters, and I feel as though I am doing good dmg but lich mode out last me and I have to carry arcane thievery SPECIFICALLY for necros to have a chance. As a warrior I do not fear them AS much. Again they are hard to take down and chill can be a kitten but I think that the match up is more in my favor (as warrior HamBow).
Necro>Mesmer (even skilled) Necro<Warrior ? IDK jsut my thoughts.
Necro UnderPowered Not at all one of toughest PVP classes I think. Hate going against on a CP.
Side Note: With MOA bird up mesmer beats all
I thought buying cheap iron salvageable armor was common sense. And I am a newbie.
Not to be Cute Kitten or anything but custom arena- challenge and face whomever you want on a fair field of play. 1v1 2v2 1v2 , etc etc
I do not think the game is built in with an end to the story, and if it took 6 years to tell it would be a success not a bad thing needed to speed up. Also you are thinking the game is limited to dragons? Wars with other races and expansions into other lands etc.
but I hope to take advantage of the patch notes!
Shhhhhhhhhhh.
Trade secrets.
From what I can tell if you are in the TP game than you know the game. I am just trying to get in on it looking for tips and such. Not current secrets but yeah past rackets that were successful are always helpful. I think everyone in GW2 who had iron or needed it noticed the effects of the market and realized buying cheap armor that could salvage for iron worth more than the armor was a quick and easy profit. Not really a -trade secret- … realizing the dataminning and staying ahead of the curve is the big secret I guess.
Why they would waste time that kind of kitten? Idea is play game not sit inside some house. Weird thing is that people are interest some houses. In Russian game allods you could buy own ship and sail on special zones with party. Well system was total kitten, but at least it was more interesting than some housing system.
NOT total kitten and do not get me excited for that. GW2 naval battles!!! board ships and guild fight on the sea. allods meats zelda WW
I am sorry it has been bugging me, only been on forums for last month and I notice all the +1, which I use but do not know what it does. Have purpose? Is it like reddit? if so where is my score? dear lord what is this madness?
I support this idea, I think NPC story in game would be more than enough reward but hey I will take a title too. :P
I know it would crash the system probaly but it would be cool to have sell timers, for example I want to sell 1 iron, but at 12 oclock tomorrow, so I set timer and it puts it up for sale later for me. Again I understand why that would be bad just wishful thinking.
Just work some overtime and convert it to gems then to gold… Overtime in most any job will trump whatever grinding you have to do and will make the game feel much less Grindy as you will only be playing stuff you like and not turning the tp into a second job whos income can’t surpass your real one… Plus it makes you look good to your boss putting in all the extra hours.
Haha I realize I could work more but I want to PLAY the game. The grind on the TP is the game I WANT to play, taking over markets and TPPVP are what I want. Yeah I could drop $100.00 into it (probably spent about $80 not anyways) and buy any items I needed or wanted but what I want is power, and market control. Starting from the bottom and one day I will be there. Not fun if I just buy into the market with money.
This game runs pretty god kitten well. People just do not appreciate man. “Ahh these seats are uncomfortable whaaawhaa” You’re flying in a plane over a kittening ocean enjoy the godkitten ride.
360 gold a week would only have you in 30%? Well kitten I guess I could settle for a 10% spot.
Most people that sell their loot to the highest bidder do so because they want a quick gold return, they wont sell it for even less while having to even do one more click to check the good home box.
To a Good Home is not intended to serve “most people”. It’s intended to provide options so the Trading Post can better serve more people than it does now. If you don’t approve of economic PvP, your options are relent or not participate at all. This provides at least a little bit of a middle ground.[/quote]
There’s a lot to say about this idea. I like that you’re attempting to find a reasonable solution, but the one of the biggest problems is that nobody would do it. Secondly, (this has been said) if you want your item to not be flipped, actually sell it at what it’s worth. Don’t take less money for fast return, that’s how those markets are created. In the end, this is a very hard to explain, very hard to implement, very complicated solution to a “problem” that can be solved by just selling items at the correct price.
Many people are happy to take less money for instant return and that’s fine if that’s your preference, others are willing to wait, and someone will work in the middle to make the market more efficient. It’s a good system and it works very well, forcing people to not trade they way they want to wouldn’t be better, it would be much worse. (not that your suggestion is forcing people, this is just a general comment)
PS any flipper that’s attempting to make money on luxury items isn’t good at flipping. It’s a slow, dangerous, rarely-profitable way to attempt to make money (that’s why nobody does it).[/quote]
I accept you challenge, luxury item market here I come.
I agree, not that I am an RPer but I feel sorry for any RP community in place.
Sweet baby jesus it is ROSTER not rooster…
/signed
a bit tired using teleport/blink.
As mesmer I do always make portal from where you load in to the Bank on airship. Because I am a friend of the people…. though most people do not trust using them….
Still way better than running back and forth in LA from TP to bank. I will take it. kittened if new lions arch has them close lol.
ahhh cannot say kitten? whos getting trolled now? You win this one Anet
Low profit commodities do work well if you don’t have a lot of capital but do have a lot of space. They are an OK starting point because they allow you to begin investing and diversifying with relatively low risk.
Once you have capital though, you can afford to enter a lot of better markets and at that point the space is wasted on low profit items.
Honestly, I’d recommend using a low profit market as your training ground if you are just getting started so that you can learn how to find profit without risking your tiny capital pool.
At this point, what you’re describing above really is pure speculation. If you want to make a large amount of gold off of something like crafting mats, you will need either an obscene amount of gold yourself or a group with whom you can pool resources to MOVE THE MARKET, not just stock up and hope the market moves on its own.
EXAMPLE: In October 2012, a group of people on a private forum began discussing the low price of Silver Doubloons at that time, considering how difficult they were to farm and just how many were needed to make a Legendary Hammer (Juggernaut, which required a FULL STACK of these). At that time, there were a total of around 600 or so Silver Doubloons on the Trading Post, with an average price of under 2 silver, the highest price being around 7.8 silver. So we bought all of them; not 1 Silver Doubloon was left on the Trading Post. We then floated the price by putting in Bid Orders of 20 silver, and within a few days that established price, as the supply had dwindled to almost nothing. We then relisted our entire supply of 600+ at 39.95 silver each. People who’d been waiting to buy stacks of them to finish off their Legendaries (this was about the time when the first few people were finishing them) bought them up in a few hours! A total profit of around 20,000 gold (split 8 ways) was made at a time when Precursors still sold for 100-300 gold.
Since that time, we have moved the Silver Doubloon market 4 more times, to the ridiculous price to see today. And there are several people who believe that if the price of Precursors were ever to drop (due to crafting or the long-fabled “precursor scavenger hunt”), the market could probably handle 10 GOLD per Silver Doubloon, so that may happen in the future.
And there are several other markets that are tampered with like this all the time; omnomberry and orichalcum prices used to yo-yo up & down constantly, but seem to have finally settled in to a sort of “max price” after which people will simply farm them.
Anyway, what you need to do, if you want to get away from pure speculation and gambling, is to find a market you can control. Find something in the game which is needed in large supply, is either consummable or becomes Bound after use, is used often, and is difficult or impossible to really farm. Omnomberries used to fit this description long ago, but are simply being used less often now, so the supply/demand ratio is different. About 6 months ago, a small group did the same thing with Lotus Roots; their price suddenly shot up from .71 silver to almost 3 silver in a day! This price came back down after a few weeks, but because people were spending far less time in Cursed Shore then, since it was just after the anti-farming patches, it took weeks for the supply to be restocked, & I’m sure everyone involved in that made money.
So yeah, don’t waste your time speculating on whether “Grapes” or whatever will be used in the next patch (lol to everyone who did that), find a market you can take control of and set your own prices.
The other option, of course, is to find some ridiculous exploit like many of the GW2 zillionaires did early in the game (Godskull-Weapon-to-Precursor conversions, anyone? Or glitched, self-multiplying siege weapons? lol), but tbh, those are rare, don’t last long, and often result in mass-bans (look up “GW2 Snowflake Ban” sometime). So I don’t recommend getting involved in any of these “exploits” that pop up, especially considering that they’re not usually that insanely profitable to begin with (Snowflakes weren’t anyway).
Oh, and my apologies to anyone here who’s currently putting together The Juggernaut.
For someone with plenty of room and lots of time though I could buy anything, any one item, in mass, and just wait the market out, well still doing the normal ins and outs. But yes it seems when you have low capitol it is best to band together with a guild that can easily keep eyes on market together and make moves as a group.
kittenadoodledooooooo
Ladybird, you will find many things which will be profitable. The more you get involved the more you learn. Things I’ve ran into from those first starting is lack of patience, panic buying just because someone post a thread here. “grapes” And letting their emotions get the better of them when getting into a bidding war. For me when I first started, and it has already been mentioned. Is research.
My advice when long term speculating have a valid reason as to why you would want to stock up on something. If your just starting, there are several great guides for learning the ins and outs so to speak. The tp is amazingly profitable as well as fun. After awhile imo its not so much about how much gold you can make. Once you break a certain amount it starts to lose its appeal. But more about your ability to be right when speculating. Which is what is fun for me. Wish you the best in this.
Thank you for the advise! Are all black lion TP server bound or to the span to all servers?
Yeah those are good. A notice a lot of naruto Guild Names on WOW and GW2.
Another I like is Farmers Market.
I think in large open events that are instants like LA one would be to much chaos. Firstly the lag some experience (fellow lag guildies) would not be able to handle it, secondly I think this AI system would take months if not years of work only to be wasted by people zerging them down. I would LOVE this style in Dungeons. Instead of big health bar OP moves Boss have 5 or 6 other AI all with similar stats to take on in epic fight.
Yeah I generally do not recommend investing in lower-priced commodities unless you have
a.) a lot of capital invested in it
b.) extremely confident it will go up
c.) an alt account that uses TP as storageFor example, mithril ore rising from 30c to 50c would only result in 50s profit per stack (taxes not incl). When you consider how much bank space you need to have this worthwhile, it is not worth it. There are opportunity costs in investing.
If you had an alt account that stockpiled, say, 2000G worth of mithril ore at 30c (appx 666K mithril), then you would end up with 1333 gold in profit.
This is why I have 3 alt accounts. I invest in three lower-priced commodities and each of them has several hundred gold in them and use the TP as storage so that bank opportunity costs are kept to a minimum
These commodities I’m investing in are at a low right now, and I’m 100% extremely confident that I will make a return of at least 300% off other speculators in the near future, and possibly 560% this commodity gets actual use.
Oh and one of those commodities, everyone knows is Thick Leather Sections, but the other two are the ones I’m talking about!
Low profit commodities do work well if you don’t have a lot of capital but do have a lot of space. They are an OK starting point because they allow you to begin investing and diversifying with relatively low risk.
Once you have capital though, you can afford to enter a lot of better markets and at that point the space is wasted on low profit items.
Honestly, I’d recommend using a low profit market as your training ground if you are just getting started so that you can learn how to find profit without risking your tiny capital pool.
I am tending to agree, stocking up for my first big payoff will be nice for me to invest in, well playing the crafting market as a side task well I sit and wait. thanks for advice everyone! keep it coming.

Just interested in some of the best guild names people have seen or ideas for some!
just a warning on the mithril ore I believe it was going for only 26 copper for quite a long stretch, not that it wont be profitable but don’t put al your money in one place (says the guy who just wont stop buying putrid essence…)
There is a large excess of Mithral and nothing has been done with it for awhile. It is the new Iron. I think they are gonna fix it sooner rather than latter. My goal is to buy it up all now at rock bottom prices and fill alt chars bank with 250 stacks. Best case, prices sky rocket within year, worst case I sell back for small profit. Also I am starting a corporation (Guild) called Lions of ArchStreet that will focus as a guild only playing the TP. Working together to do so.
