After level 15 ( first 15 levels are scaled differently so they go faster) each discipline fully maxed to 400 will give you 10 levels. you can have two different ones at a time and change between all 8 whenever you want however you have to pay silver to relearn a previously used craft.

When running cof the end dungeon reward is only a part of the money gained. If done fast than the other sources (drops and gold from bosses) makes up for the lost end reward. If done with an omnomberry bar and gold infusion the first boss gives you 16 silver and the effigy gives you about 24 silver.

This is where a years worth of dailies/monthly need to be made available in order to give the opportunity for new starters to catch up.
None of the other currencies are capped in order to give new players “a chance to catch up”: not gold, not dungeon tokens, skill points, karma, laurels or whatever… ?!
Why should AP suddenly be treated differently from all the other currencies?
“Because new players need to be able to catch up” is not a valid argument, because no one has a problem with any of the other currencies not doing that.
Any more arguments?
Yeah this i dont think i can remember any game where being a new comer to a game gave you the same benefits as a veteran. They should be rewarded for their time spent not limited just because other people didn’t want to play the same way. And its dailys we are talking about its not like its hard to finish them.

I’m guessing you unlock tiers of rewards via AP. Like others, I’m hoping it works like the Hall of Monuments unlocks, where once you unlock a skin, you have access to as many account bound copies of that skin as you want from a special vendor.
For those that don’t know, Hall of Monuments allows GW1 players to unlock various tiers of cosmetic gear and titles for use in GW2. Legacy players with a GW1 account attached to their GW2 account get an object that allows them to teleport to the Hall of Monuments instance, where there is a vendor that offers skins you’ve unlocked at no cost.
If the new system works similar to that, I’ll be very happy.
I’m hoping the new system works like that too.
I also hope this is the way they have the system. Being an altaholic i would be saddened if i had to “spend” achievement points to get each item. I really enjoyed how they put in the HoM system cause like i said being an altaholic i can get as many of an item as i want.

Again: if you can’t provide a relevant sample size yourself, at least refrain from opening a thread. If there was a change, there would be enough players with relevant sample sizes and you would already find a thread with the according data. You surely wouldn’t be the first to notice.
So: as long as there is no thread with at least several players with relevant sample sizes, there most probably just isn’t any change.
Well someone has to start that first thread and it just so happened to be this guy. Not really seeing what the problem is with him asking for others input when this is exactly what you say needs to happen for a good sample size.

As helly said it might be better to craft some first to make things easier. First of all you will be able to get better gear so you are more likely to survive in fights. Second you will be doing a good amount more damage so you will tag things easier, this will greatly increase your leveling.

Well i was one of those people that already bought them. I think its kind of nice that i get a free item but its kind of useless for me. First i like to be more specific with my stats rather than go celestial, but the biggest thing for me is now that saffron is high priced there is no point in making it. Honestly who thought it would be a good idea to make this recipe need 25 of a top level ingredient. Hopefully the market will even out soon. Already saffron is going down a bit, but still you’ll lose money if you make this rather than selling all the ingredients.

I would say if you don’t want something complicated than go with guardian. First ele and mesmer take a good amount of time before you will get the profession down. Guardian is probably one of if the the most forgiving class so its a good one to start out with and learn the basics of the game systems. Also the final choice depends on what your play style is. Do you like to run in the front and go head first in to your enemies, or do you like to support other people, or do you like to run by yourself. Would you rather call fire down from the sky and burn your foes or would you like to bash them off a cliff with a hammer. would you rather stab them in the back from the shadows or would you like you confuse them and destroy them that way.

Not sure why so many people are worried about this. Once ascended weapons come out, then you can just transmute one of those with the legendary if it doesn’t automatically upgrade transmuted ones. Also legendary weapons will always be the same level as the highest stats so right now they are the same as exotics and once ascended come out they will be the same as those.

I don’t get it. It is as if a dev that has never played a game set up that clunky process. I’m going to buy 4 stacks and it’s gonna take forever.
This is another example of something that was working in GW1 but for some reason was reinvented for GW2 in a manner that is a downgrade. (deposit/withdrawal from bank another example)

Oh my god yes, from the start i wondered why the deposit/withdrawal was changed. It makes no sense why they would change it. Also like you said so many things were working fine or even great in gw1 and than changed for gw2.

My problem was not understanding that even if all the interaction is, is a ‘loot’ interaction, that still interferes with aoe loot.
Not terribly intuitive, and in hindsight, I can see why they do it, so you still have the option to just do one at a time while it’s on, I guess.
But at any rate, success, thank you!

I’m going to revive this topic and say to the OP: yes, I think it does.
Before using magic find, I had opened thousands of regular coffers and got zip. One time, I had even opened 5k gems worth of rich coffers, also got zip.
Then, I started using magic find gear and a magic find booster and opened regular coffers in a relatively low populated zone, like the Black Citadel. [From another game, Aion, I know zone population consistently affected certain types of RNG gameplay]
I know, yada yada yada, magic find doesn’t affect coffers yada yada yada, zone doens’t matter yada yada. Rrrrrright. I’ve opened thousands of coffers this way, and I got at least 1 ticket per thousand coffers (and about 10 minis per 1k coffers). One crazy time, I even got 7 tickets opening 1k coffers.
So yea, I’m now sitting on 9 jade weapons skins and 3 unused tickets.
Without the magic find + low populated zone method, I always got zip opening thousands of regular and rich coffers. With it, I got more tickets than I can use. Using the above method, I spread the opening of the coffers out over several days. Always opened 1k at a time, clicked on them like my life was depending on it. Now, you be the judge of whether this works or not. And no, I did not invest in coffers. I thought about it, but decided against it.
Ultimately, you can always say “it was just RNG”, you should have opened at least 100k coffers. You can also say the game-changer was either the low populated zone, or Magic Find (or both). I won’t argue with either of these statements. All I can give you is what I personally experienced from opening some 10k coffers and say: you might want to give this a try yourself.
While you information is interesting it is kind of hard to go against a developer that blatantly said magic find does not effect anything but drops from monsters. Of course they have been wrong before. Also why do you think that population affects rng? Not being rude in anyway i am genuinely interested. I like seeing people challenge things and try to find out information for themselves.

You can only get that reward once per day, per character. If you want to do it again you’ll need to swap to a different character, or wait until the next day.
It’s done that way because, especially for higher level players, those chests can drop some very valuable items and if they could be farmed all day long it would mess up the economy.
By chest do you mean the one that pops up at the same place as the daily or the in world chest. The pop up chest is once per day, per event, per account.

Is there any way to transmute these dragon helms so that it will be account bound? I bought two cheap level 10 white helms and was ready to use the dragon skin, double clicked it, and it says in red letters that transmuting this will become soulbound! I thought transmuting them to generic white armors will make them account bound…
Any suggestions?
It will always say this when you transmute something. I believe the first time you use the skin it will be soulbound ( not sure) but then if you use a transmutation stone it will say in those same read letters that it will become soulbound but it will actually be accountbound when it is finished, as long as the stats you picked were from a white item.

I had the same problem. I ordered a Polla Doll and never received it. Recently I purchased 5 Transmutation Crystals at the special price and got nothing. My email box is not full (only 10 messages). The Polla Doll cost nothing but the game DID take my 150 gems. I can see receipts for these purchases but have received nothing. what’s going on?

Yeah when ever something says x/x then it is full in this example its 10/10. Says it at the top of the mail window. In the attachment this mail box is technically empty 0/10 because hearts and story don’t count against the limit.

I don’t care either way. Rerolling a new profession is a matter of minutes if you have the gems/gold, it’s gearing him that’s the real problem.

Some people on here and other threads that this is probably going to be a yearly event (in game they call it the first ANNUAL dragon bash). Still if you remember from gw1 the yearly event usually gave you a different reward ever time. Also if you think about it, it would be pointless for everyone that did it last year to do it again if the reward is the exact same thing. Now on that note they might make it like a ticket where you can pick which one you want from previous years or the new one. I’m hope they do this and also make it easier to get more than one, help us altaholics out. Maybe not attach it to a achievement and give it to each character one time when they are present during the event (like the fireworks).

Well i guess it was easier for the devs to make the wings require 8 achievements rather than make these count. Originally they were suppose to count but there was a bug so to “fix it” the meta achievement only needs 8 now.

Just a quicl cl;arification for people when the OP says that he/she bought 20 dollars worth of gems for keys he meant that he did this in a previous event that you could get skins from them not for dragon bash. Also to the OP 200 is not that many to start getting upset you got no ticket, once you hit like 1000 with nothing that is more reasonably. The moa races are there as penatbater said just for a money sink since you can easily get the meta with out them.

well since it is an exotic it will have a window pop up asking if you are sure you want to salvage it but i think it is still possible to do it if you then click yes ( i am not sure about this). Also in the wording for the weapon it will say it is used for the making of so and so legendary so it is easy to see if you have a precursor or not. this is the list of all precursors and the legendarys they make in case you are not sure. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Precursor
