If you’re looking for a group for a dungeon, use gw2lfg.com.

Love all the ‘experienced only’ and even the ‘no noobs’ comments in some of those, seems a place to go to meet friendly people.

Seems GW2 has the typical level-cap player attitude in abundance.

The great thing about this website is being able to avoid those players. So that you have more chance to meet friendly players than when public grouping at random.

I was willing to quote this website as well, but it was down at the moment I posted it. Be sure to look and use the “Group options” to find the right group. This means avoiding groups looking for experienced players or that are doing speed runs.

Edit: Schweinehund.7809 beat me to it, and his explanations are more detailed. Read the post above and disregard mine.

Caudecus is, amongst many other, what is called a dungeon. These are instances where you need to go with a party of 5. Less than that is suicide if you have never done it before. Stick around in front of the dungeon and look in the chat for people looking for a group. They often do use cryptic language for beginners:

lfg : Looking For Group

explo, story: two different modes of the dungeon. If you have never done a dungeon, the mode you are looking for is story mode. Exploration is unlocked afterwards and is often more difficult.

p1, p2, p3: Exploration mode often offers more than one path. P1 means the players wish to follow the choice 1 when asked for the path.

If that is what you are used to, it should work just fine. Plus the ranger’s pet should be able to hold some of the mobs while you finish them off!

If you are going for a heavy armor, Char, Human and Norn will be best because I don’t think the armors look great on the smaller ones.

For James, they “get rid” of the trinity mainly because there is no class able to tank without moving and also because all classes can be great dps. Elementalist are actually amongst the best healers but I see what you were meaning. Not all class can do everything, but each of them can bring something interesting to a group, that is not as clearly defined as the usual trinity.

I’d say the concept of the trinity still holds, because you will nearly always head for support, damage or defense, but not in the way most MMOs have used it. This is good mainly because strategies are less revolving around the same old concept.

Though this is certainly not necessary, I found it quite pleasant when playing in small groups if there is at least one heavily armored character. This is by no means mandatory but while learning the core mechanics of the game, it might be easier if you do not all start lightly armored characters.

So my advice would be that at least one of you starts a guardian or a warrior but you will be fine anyway.

Hi and welcome, looking to your profile, I would suggest you start the game playing a warrior. If you like good looking armors, warrior and guardian is the way to go but the guardian is more of a support character. Plus the warrior is a great dps and is enjoyable solo and in group.

Stay away from elementalist and mesmer for the beginning, they are classes that require a bit more knowledge to really enjoy.

If you are more of a ranged player, I’d suggest you go for a ranger, but do not expect too much from the look of its armor.

The professions do avoid the usual trinity in some way but you still need a bit of everything in a group and so there still is a way to build your character toward more dps or more defense. Healers are a bit more tricky to build though.

Did you use one already? Because if you did, you now need the level 60 one. If you didn’t, did you check before buying that the instructor was the one of your class?

If you want to play a class no one plays and still brings a useful support to a team, try an engineer. I have yet to see one in dungeon…

First, let me differentiate between soul bound on use equipment and equipment you bought with karma. Karma equipment is always soul bound on use, and can never be sold or salvaged. However, green items (and above) you find in game can be sold or salvaged even if you bound them to your soul.

Second, the only thing I found you can do with those is feed the Mystical Forge (center of the Lion Arch) with four of them to get a new item, sometimes of a higher rarity.

I can’t verify their price on the TP though. You could as well try the Chef crafting, it is by far the one I enjoyed most.
