Guild Wars 2

So i have to do it in Explorable mode? Is it very difficult? I’ve never done explorable mode in any dungeon, but one time has to be the first

Hi all!

I am cuttently going for the Molten Lodestones in my quest for Incinerator! But the problem is that i have never really been doing dungeons. I have completed 2 dungeons in Guild Wars 2. The first (Ascalon Catacombs) was a terrible experience, and the second one (Arah) went really well. So where is the easiest place to farm Molten Lodestones? I know they drop in Citadel of Flame, but i can see that they also drop in Fractal of the Mists, but which one is easiest? And do they drop in Citadel of Flame Explorable mode only, or do they also drop in story mode?

My other question is, how hard is explorable mode? Do i need to have some pre-knowlege to the dungeon before entering? And can it be done with a pickup group? As stated above, i am not experienced with dungeons My gear is full exotic, so that shouldn’t be a problem

Thank you in advance!

No, it’s only for that character.

Even if you delete the character and create a new one in the same slot you’ll lose the extra bags.

Okay. Doesn’t really seem to be worth it then :/

Hi all!

I was just wondering if, when i buy extra bag slots, will they only be available on the character i purchased them on or with they be available on my other characters as well? Just curious

Thank you in advance!

Hi all!

I have noticed that the Badge of Honors have a deposit collectible option when right clicking, but it’s greyed out, so i can’t click it. Is this something that happens to everyone? I haven’t been able to find anyone else asking about this, so i though i’d ask

Thank you in advance!

Thank you both I decided to go for Bone Fiend and Flesh Golem for my build

Have a nice day!

Hi all!

I am playing my Necromancer on a Condition Build with 2 Minions. Right now i am using the “Shadow Fiend” and “Flesh Golem” but i was wondering if there is a minion that is better at tanking the mobs i fight, than Shadow Fiend? My build is going to be based on Condition Damage and Vitality, so as i don’t use Toughness i will lose my health easily, which means my minions will need to tank the mobs. It is not neccesary for them to tank but it would make it easier for me to survive.

Thank you in advance!

UPDATE: I just noticed that it happens when i jump into water! As soon as i hit the water the same parts of the armor every time, becomes white, until i relog or get a loading screen (By for example waypointing out of the map). The armor i use is the “Feathered” set.

I just noticed, when i dyed my new armor, that there were leftovers of the original white color. Pic attached. The armor is level 33 armor, transmuted to look like level 70+ armor. This may not be the problem, but i throught i would mention it

I agree with OP. Considering how expensive some items are (Comander Title and Cultural Armor for example), the game lacks a way to earn money for people who doesn’t like dungeons, like me. and are located on a server, who loses a lot in WvW. I have yet to reach my first 20 gold, as i haven’t found a way to easily earn money. If they want to make this game a more co-op based game, at least give us a Dungeon Finder mechanism!

Hi all!

I know this isn’t a big thing but it could still be nice to have a way to see the real level of other players. Right now when people are scaled up or down, you can only see the scaled level of them. Maybe when you target them, you will see both the scaled level, which should be marked with green, and the real level, marked with the regular white. It wouldn’t be used for too much, but i have often been curious of what level the people i play with really are

Have a nice day!

If it’s not some kind of lag… then tis prolly the ‘quickness’ boon

Thanks!

Hi all!

I have noticed in PvP that some players hit super fast for a couple of seconds. Is that a skill? If yes, which profession? I am pretty sure i saw a Warrior and possibly a Thief doing it, so i thought it was a boon, like might.

Thank you in advance!

AC is a very tough dungeon, relative to most others. It’s a real shock to most groups when they first pop in and die. And die. And die You need to learn the fights. I highly recommend Dulfy’s walkthrough. She does her usually excellent job of breaking it down:

Okay, thanks I’m a bit more calm for going Arah now

Hi all

My friend and i went through Ascalon Catacombs in a party of me at 80, him at ~50 and 3 others at 30-40 some time ago, but we did horrible. We kept dying at even medium sized groups of mobs. We made it through though but it was hard! So i was wondering: is it like this in all the dungeons? I mean are they the same difficulty?

Is there any tips you can give me? We ain’t very skilled players (Both 80 now , and know our class decently) but we would like to complete our story at Arah as soon as possible, but we don’t want to continuously die at we did here. Do we need to know a 10 page strategy for each boss like in WoW? We spent over 1½ hour at Ascalon Catacombs and ended up very frustrated and very close to rage quitting. And the rewards wasn’t even decent (2 Masterwork weapons as far as i remember).

Thank you in advance

Because they are server bound. you have to earn influance with the server you are on now to buy stuff on that server. when you transfer back you will have what you left there again.

Is it possible to do a Guild Transfer then? I have just tried contacting support directly but the submit button is non-functional…

Hi!

My friend and i made a server transfer, some hours ago. At the initial transfer everything seemed fine, except that our guild looked a little bugged, but i didn’t think too much about it, as i heard other people had bugged guild pane as well. But just now, i noticed that our guild has been completely reset. All of our upgrades is gone, our influence is gone, and our guild bank is gone.. This can’t be intentional, can it? If it is, it can’t be right that we was never told this when we tansfered server. Is our guild still on the old server, or is everything lost, including the contents of the guild bank? Can i contact support directly, and ask them to move my guild to the new server? We have worked incredibly hard on collecting the contents of the bank, and all the upgrades we had..

Thank you in advance

Hi all!

My friend and i created a guild some time ago. But i noticed that we are not able to combine a stack from my bag with a stack in the bank. For example if i have some Green Wood Logs, and i want to stack it with my current stack in the guild bank it just throws my stack back in the bag.

I have to take the stack from the bank and put it in my bag, combine the stacks and place the new stack back in the bank. This is quite annoying, as it takes a lot longer to put items into the bank.

There’s two from the story, one near the beginning and one near the end. These two have no visual.

If you’re in a guild with the guild armorer perk, you can buy a backpack from the NPC for 5G. This one has a visual (a backpack!).

You can also get one from the new Halloween quest from the Magister in the square in Lion’s Arch. It also has a visual and looks like a giant book on your back.

I see you’re a thief, but if you were an engineer, you could pick a backpack during character creation, as well.

Okay thanks! I can’t remember getting one near the end. I still have the first one, but my story is almost complete (Victory or Death). Maybe i sold it.. :/ Oh well, kitten happens

Have a nice day!

Hi all!

I have been playing my Thief to lvl 80 now, and i have only met one single back item, which i think i got from my story. What is a back item? It is not visible as a cape on my character, but there is an on/off switch at the back item slot. Neither have i been able to find them on the Trading Post. How do we get them? Is the one i got from my story the only back item in the game? If so, why then even bother adding them?
I know this is a a lot of questions but i have really been searching a lot for info on them

Thanks in advance

Zunhar.4079:

In sPvP most of your stats come from your amulet/jewel. Runes on your armor (plus their natural defense stat) are the only stats you gain from your actual armor.

Lukin.4061:

They are without stats because there are no runes on them – you can purchase various runes at the npc who is selling weapons or armor, just press on the second item list icon when trading with him.

Yeah i know that, and that was the reason i was confused with the different types of armor. Thanks

Have a nice day!

/gammarik

Hi all!

I am loving the sPvP, but i have a question: what is PvP gear? There ain’t any stats on any of the gear, so why should i use the gear i get in PvP Reward Chests? Why should i even buy the Reward Chests? Is there something unique at each different piece of armor, or are they all the same? Also: i have heard that you could salvage it, but what do i get from that and how do i even do it? I am not able to use my regular salvage kits on it.

Thank you in advance

This happens to me too on Windows. Not only Mac. It worked perfectly fine yesterday, but after the patch earlier it is saying ½ instead of <

Hi all!

My friend and i are sharing the most of our collectibles, when one of us need it for crafting, but it is quite annoying that we get the message that we can’t send any more items. So i got the idea that you can mail as much as you want to players that have you in their friends list! Or add a switch for them to mail you continuously. So what do you think? I know this ain’t a too big thing, but it gets quite frustrating when one of us need the items right now, and the other one has to leave soon

Have a nice day!

/gammarik

I noticed this too. I have a screenshot of it here:

Hi all

I have noticed that all the karma vendors in Orr sell armor/weapons with the same stats. All the vendors i have been able to find sell armor increasing Power, Toughness and Condition Damage, which ain’t the stats i go for. My Thief use Power, Precision and Critical Strike Damage, which i haven’t been able to find Karma vendors selling. Is there a reason for that or a way to change the stats? Or maybe some other way to get good armor with these stats? I got two pieces of exotic armor with these stats from exploring Cursed Shore, but ain’t Cursed shore the only place i can explore that will give me lvl 80 armor?

Thanks in advance

Whenever there is a need to find something, just Youtube it.

Gah… Of coarse it was that simple.. Thank you!

Have a nice day!

Hi all!

I have for a long time had problems completing my story. I am at The Source of Orr but i can’t find the entrance, to the story! I have been searching for hours, but have given up… Can anyone tell me how to get to it?

Thanks in advance

Stiv.1820:

Hounds may be better for PvE due to seemingly more AoE but TG wins for PvP hands down due to blinds and scorpion wire thing.

I prefer Dagger storm over both of these in PvE and PvP though.

The Basilisk Venom is the only Elite we can use underwater :/

Okay, thanks Not sure if it’s worth the 30 Skill points

HI all!

I have recently hit lvl 80 with my Human Thief, and noticed the Human racial Elite skill Hounds of Balthazar, and i began wondering if it is better than my current Elite, Thieves Guild. I can see that Hounds of Balthazar is having a minute more cooldown than Thieves Guild. What do you think? Also: which of the Thief Elite skills can be used underwater? ATM i am using Basilisk Venom, but i am not satisfied..

Thanks in advance!

Hi all!

I have been looking for a new cape for my theif, but i can’t find any in the trading post. I have looked in all the categories, but there are no Back/Cape category. Is there a reason for it, or am i just completely blind?

Thanks in advance

/gammarik

Wierd.. We tried it before and my friend didn’t get a prompt, so we did it separately, but the next Personal Story event worked… Well Thanks

Hi all

I am playing with my friend, and i am wondering if there is a way to enter the personal story with my friend? We purposely chose the same choices in the beginning to get the same story, but we can’t play together. We did this once back in Beta, where i entered personal story and my friend was automatically invited, but this time we weren’t. Can anyone help us?

Thanks in advance

I have been looking at the Guild Wars 2 Strategy Guide and noticed that there is a Limited Edition version too, so i was wondering: What is the difference? I am going for the book, and not the digital version, as it’s easier for me to read, but which one should i choose?

Thanks in advance

Cortechs.3265:

It’s on the bottom right of the mini-map. It will look like an arrow or an arrow with a circle around it, depending on which setting you have.

Thanks Of coarse it’s the most obvious place
Have a nice day!

Hi all

When i was playing in the Beta Weekends the mini-map rotation was static, eg. north was always up, and i liked that, but now it is rotating so my player arrow is always facing up. I have never been able to figure out whats north and whats south when the map is rotating. In WoW i had the option to turn it on/off but here i can’t find the option. Can anyone help me with this? Or is this a completely missing feature?

Thank you in advance
