Ah ok thanks, Charak. Do swords appear if a wall is getting hit by catapult too?

Yes

Old news. You can still put it in the forge for the possibility of getting something salvageable.

“Successfully decapitate the great jungle wurm in Bloodtide Coast and defeat all three of its heads (does not count toward Triple Trouble meta-achievement). "

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Triple_Trouble_%28achievements%29

“One you have killed Amber, Crimson, and Cobalt Wurms within 1 minute of each other, their heads come off and they regen back to full health. Now you begin the final phase of the fight where you must kill the three wurm heads within 2 minutes.”

WXP not adding up?

I had 6 characters with ranks 676, 115, 70, 26, 31, and 6. Each with some amount of sub-rank (0-5000) XP. I used a spreadsheet to keep track of the ranks and predict the account rank. The predicted rank was 906, and the rank that was given after the patch was 906. No problems here.

The only ways to get that skin in particular is from the mentioned karma NPC, as a drop in the Shiverpeaks, or from the Trading Post. It is only available as a weapon, not as a skin. It might be available as a skin in PvP as well, but it would have to have been acquired as a reward or from the Mystic Forge.

Account bound WXP

in WvW

Posted by: Serkit.7836

Serkit.7836

For those trying to figure out how the account-bound WXP should work. to my understanding:

Consider character A to be rank 50. Ranks 1-4 will only be considered as full ranks for this character.
Character B is rank 20. B’s ranks 1-4 will add 2 ranks to the account total, while ranks 5-20 will count as 16. So, the total rank is now 50 + (2 + 16) = 68.

Character n is rank q, where q > 4. n will add (q – 2) ranks to the account total.
Character p is rank r, where r < 5. This should be easily computable with a simple calculator, when you consider an additional rank to be 5000 WXP.

Some characters, when you factor in their sub-rank WXP (0-4999), might advance the rank counter when you add it to the account. I imagine this will grant you a rank-up chest, but it might not.

Map Completion Tips

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Serkit.7836

Serkit.7836

For some of the POIs and vistas, you need to enter the structure. If your server currently owns the structure, you can do this easily by going through a rectangular portal, usually by a gate. If your server does not own the structure, and there isn’t a mesmer to portal you inside, you need to either destroy a gate or a wall to get inside. Depending on your server, it could take a long time before you gain access inside every structure on every map. If your server likes to have massive zergs that take objectives in quick succession, find out when they tend to that and follow the zerg around. Every week, server matchups are reassigned. There are three servers in each matchup: red, green, and blue. Each color has a different starting area on each map. Depending on how well your server is at defending things or how bad your opponents are at attacking things or even the active times of your server and opponents, you should be able to just walk around getting your completion on your Borderland and your section of EB.

Cap Supply Camp, or just kill dolyaks?

in WvW

Posted by: Serkit.7836

Serkit.7836

Holding a camp at the time of a tick (a moment occurring every 15 minutes) adds 5 points to your team’s score. Killing a yak adds 3 points to your team’s score, at the moment the yak is killed. Camps can only be flipped every five minutes, due to righteous indignation. To maximize the points from a camp: you flip it just before the tick, other team takes it back, you let them hold it until just before the next tick, kill every yak that comes out of it while it is held by the enemy.

What should i spend my karma on?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Serkit.7836

Serkit.7836

You can max the Thirst Slayer achievement with 700,000 karma. Specifically, the option requiring the least amount of clicks is 25,000 Stein of Golden Ale. All of them have to be bought one-by-one. Otherwise, you could spend 80 gold on 6,250 of various 16-point alcohols. Again, all of which must be bought and consumed one-by-one.

rezzing through gates

Posted by: Serkit.7836

Serkit.7836

I think it should have the same regulations as being able to use skills through a gate. As an example: if you are allowed to damage an enemy ram through a gate using your weapon skills, your enemy should be allowed to res one of their own through the gate, regardless of the resurrectee’s class.

I think GoM’s main problems are that people don’t pay attention and general infighting. I don’t know if there’s any infighting, but both DR and ET seem to be more organized than GoM at times.
