Guild Wars 2

just salv them! i sell the 4-7 rares i get per run(ZERO mf gear) and the occasional exo i salv for 3-5 ecto + rune.

kumu is 100% correct.

since fotm launched, i’ve been salving my rares and selling the ecto. usually i just sell the rare, but since there is a demand for them right now, it would be the wiser thing to do IMO.

i just crafted a full set of exotic valkyrie heavy and exotic knight’s trinkets for basically free. i can’t imagine the price of 16g to be realistic, because…to be realistic, you’ve gotta have SOME of the mats laying around like ori/gossamer. what do you do with all the lvl 70+ rares you find?

ok guys, i’m not ignoring you….our chat is broken. i can’t see anything other than /map right now….

i’m sorry i tried ><

ok my party is bugged, but some got in. i’m trying to get you guys in. if i’m not responding, it’s because i just got jumped by like 30 people

we’re at the demo, trying to recover from the crash and we probably have room.

since anet has officially stated that they are looking into accounts that participated but got d/c to get their rewards…

they obviously have a way to see if you partook in said event.

those that did NOT should get a ticket or some token to allow us to get into an instance with each other and complete it.

there are people bragging about doing the event TWICE and are now in an active overflow for a THIRD time.

i mean…really?

many overflows are full

we can’t get in =[

i missed the event due to work…if anyone would be kind enough to extend an invite to me, i would be extremely grateful..

chiisai kiba <—————-that’s me

my experience:

so i’ve been saving up for a precursor for about 4 weeks now. i finally had enough to put up a buy order for the chosen before work today(5am). i come home, elated to see someone sold it to me. curious, i checked the tp prices, only to see they are selling for 65g now. so i paid double for it because of the event giving out a ton of these precursors. if i had waited a day longer, i could have gotten one for half the price. in fact, i could have gotten all 100 icy runestones with my leftover coin.

now, it’s just pure chance and bad luck that this happened to me. i am not asking for any recompense. but please consider in the future the impact of having so many high priced items drop for a 1-time event that not everyone could attend. i missed it by 3 hours and thus, ended up paying about an extra 2 weeks of my playtime spent grinding for gold.

it’s a strange feeling to be both happy and disappointed at the same time. granted, i paid what i expected to pay, but the afterthought leaves a bitter taste.

dat face!!!

seriously…your charr’s face sells it!!! haha

gratz on the skin

ah thanks for clarifying. so when a higher tier is introduced, legendaries are bumped up to match the BIS…

and i see now that it’s not a stat thing, but a time sink. ascended is meant to be a gap filler between exotic and legendary in terms of time spent. the increased stats are a byproduct then. which to me doesn’t make sense if gw2 wasn’t meant to have a gear grind/power creep.

legendaries have the same stats as exotics…at least until ascended weapons are released.

they are only cosmetically different than other exotics, but most have special animations/particle effects that make them stand out. some legendaries are not finished yet, so if they are plain looking, there might be plans to improve them.

infused is for ascended gear and so far, as nothing to do with legendary wapons

yeah, vick that’s what i was asking. if legendaries are top-shelf, then it makes sense for them to keep their purple text and have their stats raised.

when the ascended weapons come out, will their stats land between current exotics and legendaries?

that brings more questions, because if current legendaries are raised to only MATCH ascended stats, then when ascended weapons come out, they will be equal. but lindsey has stated that ascended is meant to fit in the gap between exotics and legendaries, so that would mean legendaries would get another boost in stats?

much love for the soldier classes, despite there being only 2. i personally have 2 guardians, 1 warrior that i play the most. 2 are 80 and 1 more will be 80 shortly.

i also have a necro because i decided to change things up a bit and he is immensely fun to play…elementalist and mesmer i just can’t do. and i never started any adventurers either for some strange reason. oh well.

so legendaries will retain their purple text, just the stats are raised, correct?

balth just opened up on devona….gl crafters!

these references add a whole new layer to the game. i know it’s a common thing now to do it, but i still find it hilarious every time i find an egg in any game i play.

i guess in a way it’s sort of like ‘breaking the 4th wall’ to borrow a term

this might be a stretch, but if you play a human, during the personal story, your sister’s name is deb. made me think of dexter immediately.

Jemmi.6058:

During a dynamic event in Harathi Hinterlands an NPC says “Clever girl.” Just like in Jurassic Park

i saw this the other day and wondered where it came from!!! haha thanks for jogging my memory

only, this isn’t a loot-driven game. there are no items that grant a superior stat advantage over something else in the same tier.

gw2 is(supposed to be) a skill/dodge-centric mmo. items are for aesthetics and stats are equal in the same tier. if gear is destroyed every time you die, there would be much less wvw. the action would slow to a crawl since after 2-3 deaths you have to go back to crafting something new or buy off the tp.

the economy might be better off this way, but think of the myriad other problems that this causes, mainly player enjoyment. no one will rush into a zerg on the front lines. everyone is going ranged instead of melee. the list goes on…

good entries, guys!!! keep em coming…i’m gonna have to experience some of these myself when i get burnt out on wvw or mat farming for the day

the only way to make quick money and by quick, i mean more than 1-2g an hour from plinx is to play the tp. it’s unreliable since it’s similar to gambling, but if you’ve found a niche, you can do some research, get the mats, craft and resell for profit. doing this, i was able to make 10g in a couple hours.

btw, 10g is the most i’ve ever made in a day…(sad that that’s pocket change to some players haha)

thanks for clearing that up. do you want stable exp in the form of events? or killing mobs as you clear a zone? i’m already at 100% completion now so for for me, stable exp to get the 400 or so i’ll need for a legendary consists of wvw and killing 75-80 mobs for the mats/node farming.

in fact, node farming can be pretty lucrative in terms of exp if you find a highly concentrated area of them. the southern part of malchor comes to mind…many cypress saplings and mithril nodes

too bad the exp boosters don’t increase the gain on harvesting.

also, if you’re on a server that regularly clears the temples in orr, you can chain those to get levels very quickly.

before the pve died in devona, there was a dedicated group of guild [RED] that would run grenth over and over(failing at the end so we could farm the events in rapid succession). i think i gained near 7 levels in 1 night’s worth of play

if you’ve got the mats, buying all the exotic 400 recipes and crafting them can net you a profit.

in terms of flipping karma bought items? i don’t think that’s possible since they are usually SB or AB

paul, that is definitely one. if he had said ‘nothing to see here,’ that could have been a line from south park or the simpsons haha. it makes me wonder at the general age group of the anet staff in comparison to the player base(in terms of getting references and jokes)

shajin has it. i worked on world completion and in each zone i was able to level up rather quickly while getting 100%. what can help is eating food as it gives a small boost to exp from kills. guild banners stack on top of it too and i think the other consumable with the wrench icon? forgot what that type of buff is called.

so i used search to find a similar thread, but nothing came up….

anyway, i’m sure we’ve seen some easter eggs and references(to other games or media or real life)

the first one after about 600 hours of playing(i know, i’m too immersed in playing to notice) came just a little while ago while leveling my necro alt in metrica province…

i remember power overwhelming being the token phrase from the archons in starcraft. brings back memories heh

what’s listed is the removal of the poofing candy corn nodes.

there’s probably some other stealthy stuff going on. like the banning of quite a few ‘legit’ players.

you could also sell those 250 stacks of large bones from hacking through walls of risen while you’re there. or make CKS’s for ~20s each for some decent profit. it’s what i’ve been doing lately when i get bored of wvw or need a break from dungeon running

if it’s the one with the spikes in the chest, shoulders, thighs and boots, you can find the karma vendors in the iron marches that sell the skin

hey look, i’m an absolutely beautiful studio ghibli-esque jumping puzzle.

i do it not for the chest, but for the spectacular views.

bravo.

should never, ever stop.

i am not a platformer. in fact, i never wanted to do the jumping puzzles until i started on my legendary path. suffice to say, i am now proficient. but that’s another story.

now i actively search out jumping puzzles(no google, just wandering the pve world) and today while in mount maelstrom i found the hidden garden.

this is by far the most enjoyable puzzle yet, because the views are so beautiful. i honestly thought i was in a studio ghibli film, which if you are familiar with them, are so painterly and gorgeous.

anyway, i’m not one to really make threads, but i felt compelled. keep making these fantastic puzzles as they are a much needed break from the loot treadmills we are all running.

rng wins again?

anyway i’ve only ever gotten ruined mats while harvesting in combat. makes total sense

i’ve found exotic amulets, which are always SB. not sure if rabid ever dropped for me. if it did, i probably vendored/salv since i don’t remember using it(not specced for certain stats)

guide.1487:

I added two more pages to my website for this guide which include maps of the entire zones that have Orichalcum/Ancient Wood Logs in them. These pages are for people who prefer not looking at the small individual pictures for each location but instead want to view an entire map with all of the locations on it. So far I only have completed Malchor’s Leap and Cursed Shore maps but I will finish Frostgorge within a few minutes.

Again not all locations are listed on these maps since I do not know them all but i will be updating each page as I discover any new locations

Cursed Shore Orichalcum Locations: http://www.almarsguides.com/gw2/Farming/locations/orichalcum/CursedShore/

Malchor’s Leap Orichalcum Locations: http://www.almarsguides.com/gw2/Farming/locations/orichalcum/malchors/

Frostgorge Orichalcum Locations: http://www.almarsguides.com/gw2/Farming/locations/orichalcum/Frostgorge/

you, sir, are the BAWZ. thanks for your ongoing work(i’ve used your previous guides from some time ago)

if you guys can, wvw is relatively peaceful(did i just say that??) for farming corn nodes. i was able to gather near 400 last night without being attacked by zergs or rando stragglers.

in one case, i saw someone from an opposing server and we just let each other have a turn at a few nodes without any aggression. a happy, shiny moment in gw2

well played, anet customer service!

you can fall from greater distances, but there is a fixed point where you die(don’t worry, this happens beyond the point of 100% death if you were to hit the ground). good place to see this is in rata sum.

mulch- you can do almost all pve content in wvw with exception of dungeons and personal story. I don’t get your gripe at all

out of my roughly 400 hours in game, 390 are pve…and I manage to get 50 every month since launch with the other 10 hours…while getting 100% in each of the 4 wvw maps.

it is doable. in fact I got 70 kills last night in 2 hours without zerging more than 30 of those kills.

yes i am very interested in this as well. the gifts, were they bought from an npc?

i also think that some of the mats won’t be available until later stages of the halloween event, as i think this is only the first part

candy corn needed: 150

i just finished my monthly and got 10 jugs of karma.. 45k without boosters(if they work, then 67k)

do boosters give you the extra 50% gain on a jug?

i bet devs are just trolling with laughter right now.

another thing…don’t you think the devs wanna play the events themselves? would make sense for the event to go live when they’re all home from WORK so they can enjoy the fruits of their labor alongside us.

or just have some brews and forget about their work day. just a thought

i’m still playing..didn’t get kicked or anything.
