Orr is always full of people, the traits there are not going to be a problem. I think (but I am not sure) that the mid range maps (lvl 30-60) are less populated.

Those areas are also usually well populated.

New player: upgrades for leveling?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Neko Dudley.2495

Neko Dudley.2495

It looks like a pretty good plan. Fill your armor with +10 power runes:(1 of each) ogre, strength, hoelbrak, privateer, mesmer, elementalist, etc, and use consumables like food and maintenance oil, or sharpening stones. Leveling up should go quickly for you.

When you get to level 39, full rune sets may be a better choice. I don’t know for sure since I never did the math.

Assuming the Pale Tree’s death, and a replacement growing … don’t you think it’ll take a couple of centuries to get the new one large enough to matter? A line from To His Coy Mistress comes to mind:

My vegetable love should grow vaster than empires, and more slow.

Yup. Even 10 years would be too long for the game to bear it, so Anet is sort of painted into a corner on this matter. They would need a tree already matured to the stage they can bud new sylvari without making the story seem hokey and forced. I think the grove may be damaged, but not defeated.

If the pale tree dies, one of the first born becomes rooted and grows into a new pale tree, a process resembling Harold the ghoul in fallout 3.

Or, the pale tree dies followed by a new growth from one of her rhyzomes, like a black locust tree.

There are no great weapons at lvl 15. What you can do to improve power is to get a lvl 15 whatever and add a minor sigil of bloodlust. To your armor, add one each of minor runes of the: ogre, hoelbrak, strength, mesmer, elementalist, privateer, or any other +10 power rune. Eat power food and use sharpening stones or maintanence oil, or potions of ____ slaying.

You probably do not need a new PC. I’m using an old AMD A6 and doing just fine. That said, if you are using 32 bit windows then you need to upgrade to 64 first, then get more RAM. Before you buy ram, read the motherboard manual to make sure you are buying the right kind. You may have to look online for the mb-manual. You can usually find identifying information on the motherboard, or you can google search the serial number.

However, by your own definition:

1. without cheating or trying to achieve unjust advantage.

There is no competition, test, or any system of reward anywhere in which having someone else do your work for you, and taking credit and reward for it, is not considered cheating.

It is the foundation of all but the most primitive economic systems. The OP produced more than his needs, and tried to sell the excess, a totally legit business practice according to almost all societies. He was in fact robbed by the kickers.

I stacked Sigil of bloodlust and corruption

just put another sigil over the corruption if you want to keep bloodlust.

I have 1 unused Sigil slot now with the used having Sigil of Corruption. I didnt know what happened to the Sigil of Bloodlust when I put the Sigil of Corruption over it. I dont understand what you mean by putting another sigil over the corruption – if it’s a not an attribute stacking sigil, it will just use the unused slot and if is an attribute stacking sigil, wouldn’t the Sigil of Corruption just disappear the way Bloodlust did?

sorry, I mis-read your post, and thought you had both sigils on your rifle.

From my experience: hammer was the most fun, greatsword was the most practical. One handed sword feels like a ranged weapon to me. Torch is a little redundant since we set things on fire anyway, but the animations are cool. I always have one weapon set for close melee and one for range:GS and staff currently. Eating pie makes you hard to kill.

Ele can be frustrating at the early levels. I died a lot when I was just starting out and that was before they changed the trait system. I understand things have gotten more difficult since then. You learn quickly to keep moving all the time if you can. I think if you give it enough time you will get the hang of it just as easily as any other class. Just don’t let it bother you when you get downed.

Neko Dudley.2495

@Neko Dudley: I was under the impression that Elementalists were squishy and complex to play, am I missing something? Thanks!

The squishyness of eles ranges from very fragile to bunker. It depends on the build. The build I suggested (written in stone/signet/staff) gets a lot of toughness from having 6 points in earth, plus using signet of earth gets you an extra 180 toughness, so its somewhere between bunker and glass cannon. Its the build I use for soloing vet karkas. Usually in pve I stick to a zerk build. You learn to keep moving while playing an ele since a lot of mobs cant hit you when you are not in front of them. For pve farming, you can stay in fire until you need an emergency heal from water staff 3 or 5, so its not really complex unless you want it to be.

I’m really tired, I hope that answers the question. I am not an expert on elementalist, just enthusiastic.

GW1 HoM- Same character through all campaigns

Neko Dudley.2495

When you go to factions, it will drop you in Kaineng center, I think, from there you can take a boat to Shing Jae island. You will be able to go back to all the missions, but some of the starter quests will be unavailable. When you go to Prophesies, you will start at Lions Arch. You will have to run to earlier areas.

All of the missions from all of the campaigns are on the Zaishen mission rotation. I recommend you start doing Zmissions when you can. The Zaishen silver coins are a good trade item, and you get additional title track points from the Nightfall missions.

staff ele, just stay in fire all the time, signet of air for mobility, written in stone build and valkyrie gear, it doesn’t get any simpler and can handle most pve.

Kick immunity for the instance owner. If people are so angry, they can still quit on their own. They don’t need to end the run for everyone else. Maybe a kick veto power for the instance owner so he/she can stop kicks that are not based on performance.

A p/p thief IS fun. I started my thief to get a key. I kept her because it is so much fun. Don’t give up on them too quickly. They are viable when you get practice at staying in motion all the time and get good at dodge rolling. Trait for might and swiftness on dodge roll and for regaining endurance on dodge. For a backup weapon, i use the short bow.

I also have a stack of characters and use them all from time to time. I highly recommend it.

If you are looking for condition damage/duration then try super veggie pizza. Last time i checked it was about 10s on the TP. Minotaur steaks are easy to produce in large quantities and they last a full hour.

Super Veggie Pizza is less than 2s.
You are probably thinking of Rare Veggie Pizza but Koi Cake is much cheaper although it means you have to use it more often.

They are bargain priced, and probably the OP’s best choice.

I recommend that you use the trading post to get a minor sigil of bloodlust for your weapon, and a minor rune of fire, strength, hoelbrak and ogre, for the boost in power. Also, make sure you have a supply of food and maintenance oil or sharpening stones and remember to use them.
