 * More specifically, . Just to note, there is only one documented Paragon farming build there, and it's for FoW (Fissure of Woe). Elementalist and Warrior are both great for farming, but both in very different situations; which one is better all comes down to personal opinion. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  09:56, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

PVE characters in PVP
Will the skill and item unlock packs allow PVE characters to use skills and items during PVP combat or are they for heros and PVP only characters alone?


 * PvP only, since equipment is shared over all zones. Backsword 17:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * i suggest you don't use pve characters for pvp anyway. pve-chars aren't nearly as flexible when it comes to both build and equipment. - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 19:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * UNLESS... You bought multiple armor sets and weapons. Then they can. This much is true for my ranger who's got three multiple builds.  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]]19:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * you're still not able to create any armor piece you want/like anytime you want/need. and that's what makes flexibility. :) - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 19:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It takes a while sure, but they CAN be as flexible. Not all the time, I just don't like how you say "you don't use pve in pvp" when it's wrong :/  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]]19:30, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * you shouldn't (not 'you don't', since many still do) use pve chars in pvp as long as you have less than 1 year and 5 gvg victories exp imo. and there's no reason to use pve-chars over pvp-chars in pvp anymore since that pvp-equip update. they are much more flexible, that's a fact. the term that describes what you mean is 'universal'. - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 19:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah i just figured that, "universal." Yes PvP characters can change their shit on a whim but a PvE character can be just as good. I use PvE in PvP all the damn time.  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]]19:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ya, but pvp chars are no worse. - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 19:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

 * He is right though, PvP chars do tend to be vastly more versatile. Well unless you have a main PvE charecter who you've invested alot of time and effort into, such as my main who has ALL skills unlocked for her (both elite and normal) and 12 different sets of elite armour and numerous weapons and focus items. Honestly though, it isnt worth the time, money or effort to make a PvE char as flexible as its PvP equivelent. -- Salome 22:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Music
How do i unlock music? The code given does not fit the add access key in the manage account

216.249.50.41 03:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * the code card for the music actually has a link written on it for another website. You go there and download the music, I believe; rather then unlocked on your account, the music is added into your game from there. I personally never finished my music card (I play the game sans-music :P), so I don't know much else from personal experience. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  03:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When you go to the site listed and sign up for an account, the key will give you a free download for the listed product. You download the file, and it will install the music into GW for you. After that, just play as normal, and all should be fine.--Pyron Sy 03:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Nope, you only have to complete the standard missions. --Valshia 18:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Save yourself from trying the Dunes bonus..its horribly difficult without the exactly right build. The mission walkthrough for Augury Rock has a very comprehensive guide for each profession to make beating the doppleganger much easier.  Calor  - talk 18:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

nightfall-kurzik
if i have nightfall on a warrior and i have acces to factions by doing its quest can i get kurzik armour on him --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:90.195.157.248.
 * Yes, see port ~ Kurd [[Image:User Kurd sig.png]] 08:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Short answer: Yes...
 * Long answer: Yes, but you will have to get access to House zu Heltzer, which is a good few missions and quests in the story (and also requires that you obtain 10,000 Kurzick faction). And if you are looking to get Elite Kurzick Armor, you'll need to get even further. Also, there is no way to skip through the story. So you will be able to get it, but you have quite a bit to do first (and then you have to buy it!). Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 12:16, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * To note, you don't need the 10,000 Kurzick Faction to get the normal Kurzick Armor; you need the faction for the "Befriending the Kurzicks" quest, which lets you progress beyond HzH, but you can buy the armor while you're in HzH. Elite Kurzick is from farther on, which will require you to befriend the Kurzicks, and finish one mission after that, I believe. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  09:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Armour Cap
I know the cap is +25 for stacking skills, which basically makes more than one worthless, but what if someone has cracked armour? Is the cap then +45? It should be but this whole nerf doesn't make sense so I doubt it. If I have 80 base armour, then get cracked armour, I now have 60. If I use Watch Yourself! for 20 armour, and then I use Stand Your Ground for +24 armour, does watch yourself cancel out cracked armour and I now have 104 armour? 58.106.236.226 09:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * afaik the cap remains even with cracked armor. but you can use single skills (*points to "Save Yourselves!"*) to increase armor even more, so you still get more than your basic armor. - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 14:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

No they look like they are in a set of normal amour thanx for trying lord of all tyria
 * If it's in an explorable area, it could likely be a skill effect instead of armor, such as Flame Djinn's Haste. There's no other fiery armor set I can think of besides Destroyer Gauntlets.  Calor  - talk 15:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * More than likely it is the Divine Aura, that is a bonus given to people who bought the Prophecies Collector's Edition. It is not tied to any specific armor, and there is no way to get it any more (unless you buy the Prophecies collector's edition). Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 17:35, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think so, it's probably the Divine Aura.[[Image:User Ereanor sig.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 18:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You can;t remote and run at the same time so if it is leaving strail behind the person it is NOT divine aura. 58.106.236.144 05:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Divine Aura's not an emote, it's a permanent effect, as far as I know. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 09:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Then you know wrong. Divine Aura will only show up when a character does an emote, otherwise they look like everyone else. 58.106.236.144 11:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting. What could it be then? Probably a skill effect as Calor said. Unless it leaves a trail if someone starts running right after emoting. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 14:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Some warrior skills look something like that I think... 58.106.236.144 17:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Your internet is just to slow to play GW I suppose. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  22:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * If it says that you have router problems then there is most likely a problem with your internet service provider. A slow internet doesn't prevent playing GW, since even slow modem users are known to play. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 23:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The term "playing" is used very loosely is Gem's suggestion, as you will have severe lag, even after running -image and using the lowest quality everything. Playing with a connection that slow severely diminishes the quality of the game, as cutscenes are chopped up, and it's quite difficult to tell when to use skills, and almost impossible to interrupt. I would suggest getting a fast computer with a good connection, or getting something similar to DSL.  Calor  - talk 02:01, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I played GW for about 6 months on a dial up connection. The only difference I see with my current connection is loading places/updates for the first time. To answer your question, it is possible to play GW with a dial up internet. I personally didn't have to do anything special or different when installing the game aside from wait a really long time. I suggest contacting technical support for help on this. 58.106.236.144 05:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hall of Monument - "Resilience"  -  prestige armour sets.
Can someone please clarify, to save your prestige armour in the Hall of Monuments, i have read that you can not save Deldrimor armour, but does your set of armour has to be a single complete armour set. ie. no mix and match, are you not allowed to get boots from one place, a top from else where, and so on, to make up your own set of prestige armour to save in the HALL. Many thanks

SaltyOldSeaDog 16:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * To put a set into the Monument, you need the Chest, Arms, Legs, and Feet of the same armour. In other words, you cannot mix and match.[[Image:User-brains12-sigicon5.png|Talk|14px]] br12  • (talk) • 16:21, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but just to clarify, does that include headgear, since you mentioned all but. Once again many thanks.SaltyOldSeaDog 21:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You don't need headgear to show the armor in HoM. This was done so because many armor sets don't have a head piece, so it was simpler to just not require it from any armor sets. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 21:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Non Stacking Runes
I know that if I have two Runes of Air magic the penalties will be combined and I will only receive the higher of the two. Will two magic runes stack if they are not of the same elemental type?

For example: Rune of Major Air Magic -and- Rune of Major Fire Magic

I expect the outcome to be: +2 Air magic and +2 Fire magic with a -70 health penalty.

Is this correct? Thanks

--66.93.3.97 04:30, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, the "non-stacking" only applies to runes of the same attribute. Fire Magic, Air Magic, Water Magic, Energy Storage... they're all separate attributes, and stack normally. (to be technical, they're not really "stacking" at all, because they're affecting totally separate attributes.) So yes, you'll end up with -70 health, and a +2 to both Fire and Air Magic with those runes. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  04:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

elemental weaknesses
its clear some monsters will take extra damage from some elements while still taking nearly No damage from other elements the "Enchanted" monsters @ the end of proficies(mind my spelling) have proven highly fire resistant. what element best harms them, and why cant i find this kind of information on gww --66.74.219.186 04:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you talking about the Enchanted in Dragon's Lair? They have a high Armor rating and Endure Pain. There is no "better" elemental damage for these, you just need to grind out the fight, as eight people can easily defeat any single foe.  Calor  - talk 04:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

OP: no, Enchanted in the deserts of Proficies ascension part ive tested, their highly resistant to fire and earth. conversely they take full damage from lighting just as a normal thought, lighting is most effective against high armor

quitting my guild
I wish to quit my guild but since i last logged in everyone else has quit and GW has auto-designated me leader.

 * If you are the last member of the guild, there should be an option in the guild window (G) for disbanding the guild. Just select it and the guild will be disbanded, kicking you out (remember that the guild hall and everything on it will be lost).--Fighterdoken 06:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Obtaining Heroes in Nightfall
ok so ive been lookin for heros on guild wars NF ive been having issues knowing were to get the majority of them the lastone i got was melonni and ive been trying to mission after it but im not good enough yet ive been playing about 2 weeks of the game i understand alot of it just not enough could i get like a list or something to help me find the heros? Thx --75.131.210.93
 * A few more heroes come about from later missions, and some (Zenmai and Olias) come from Prophecies and Factions, respectively. Also, since some do not play a major role in the story line you have to do side quests to get them. I had the same problem of not being able to get the heroes I wanted, and if you enmd up beating nightfall when you have beat the big bad boss at the end you go to what I guess you would call the credits or congratulations area. From there, along the path you will see all of the possible heroes and they will have the green exclamation point over their head and will give you rather simple quests for aquiring them. Also, The Heroes Wiki page has a list of the available heroes. Cick their name and the subsequent page should tell you how and where to aquire them. Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you still have problems. --Dick 20:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Level 20 wolf
I was in the arena and I saw a level 10 guy with a level 20 pet. (a wolf)

--Kenrl Of Belgica 15:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Check out the Wolf page. Take note, though, that when you charm a pet it is level 5 (or level 2, depends on the pet). I don't know how he could've gotten his pet to level 20 without leveling himself to 20 as well. --[[Image:User-brains12-sigicon5.png|Talk|14px]] br12  • (talk) • 15:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * IIRC, in Southern Shiverpeaks, there is the tamable Elder Wolf around Thul The Bull that starts at level 20, if that is the wolf mentioned. Possible run through to get access to charm the animal and healing while Charm Animal is active. &mdash; Gares 15:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The easier way for a low level player to get a level 20 pet is throught death leveling. On Pre-Searing Ascalon you can hire a player to help you level a pet, so once it is high enough you can capture it. The downside is that people often use these pets for griefing on low level arenas instead of being used in PvE--Fighterdoken 17:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

guild wars 2 payment
will i have to buy time cards for guild wars 2
 * No, the payment system is the same as in GW1. See Guild Wars 2 for other details. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 06:08, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Some countries use time cards for Guild Wars iirc. I think they are used in Thailand or Taiwan. So I imagine they might use the same payment system in GW 2. [[Image:Four-Leaf Clover.png|15px]] Druid 11:28, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Umm... no. Time cards are only necessary when there's a subscription fee. GW does not use a subscription model, and GW2 has been stated to be without subscription as well. ArenaNet does not have time cards. NCsoft does have time cards but they are for Auto Assault, City of Heroes/Villains, and Lineage 2 only. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 13:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually now that it was mentioned, I believe that some of the more isolated countries actually have a time card system, though I'm not 100% sure. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 15:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * In Japan, you have two options: You can buy the box game and play it the same way we do here in North America, or you can pay online (like $1 or something a month). The latter model is more popular for games there, so that's why it's offered. So yeah, if you are in a country that happens to have the time card system, then assume it will be the same for GW2. Kokuou 16:08, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be like paying by installment, I can understand that. But... how would a time card work for GW? You... buy the box... and buy a time card... you need both a time card serial number + the game serial number to activate your account? It just doesn't seem to make sense. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 08:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I too have had this problem, though it has been with me since hard mode was introduced for GW:EN. I did contact support and, contrary to what others have been saying on this page, they were quite helpful and fast to respond. Ultimately though we could not find the cause of the problem. It seems to come and go and Guild Wars is the only game/service that has given me the trouble. While not really a help I felt since someone else is posting a similar problem hearing multiple reports would unearth some rare bug :)! Sanmigdark, try contacting support there were a number of things they took me through before we figured out we couldn't figure it out. They are helpful, at least the ones I spoke to (I even sent a report back to the manager commending them, and I never do that.) DelvingAngel 21:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

what is the best sword in the game and if u no how much is it worth? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:90.195.157.71.


 * It's all personal preference. All swords that have the same stats are equal. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  09:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * It depends on what build you're using, see Sword Hilt, Sword Pommel and Inscription for details on available sword bonuses. A max sword from a collector can generally be bought for under 1000 gold. Rarer swords are far more expensive, but they don't have better stats. The price of upgrade components varies a lot with rarity and desirability, some are so common they're considered junk and can be bought for several hundred gold if you find someone with them, while others can cost over 10,000. -- Gordon Ecker 09:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * A sword's maximum damage is 15-22, and the lowest requirement you can generally get is a requirement 9 (they come lower then that, but those are super-rare and not all the useful anyway). If you've got a sword with max damage and a low requirement, then you're set; everything else is mods, like extra health, extra damage, and so on.
 * Gordon lists a few good places to start looking for modifications and weapons... another note on the collector weapons, you can trade collectible items for those. Keep an eye out for NPCs with [Collector] next to their name, see what they're collecting and if they've got any swords.
 * And if you're looking for purely expensive swords, the Elemental Sword is quite rare and pretty, and can sell for over 100k gold. There's others as well that sell for around the same price... of course, the only benefit to those swords over cheaper ones is, they look cooler. :D --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  13:37, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

GW Drop Rates
Hello, Happy Holiday everyone. My question is...what is the drop rates on this game? For the past few days I've been farming for certain green drops and manage to get like 1 every four to five hours playing. X.x; I'm not kidding. Once I started farming at 8pm and managed to get the drop I needed like around 11pm. I've read on some websites that having 7 henchmen lower your drop rate, but I still wish to know what the drop rate is. I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered. I could not find it. -- Adiana 15:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, no actual drop rate data is available, people just have estimates. I can tell you that the drop rate is split among all party members; with an eight-man group, the chance of you getting a drop is about one in eight, because the drop is assigned randomly. Which is why henchmen are a bad idea for farming, they can't get drops, but they still count as party members, so only a one-in-eight chance for you again. Like I said, I don't know the drop rate personally...
 * ...Oh, one other thing I know is drops tend to get progressively worse over time, at least from my experience (not sure if this has changed recently). Meaning, kill a boss fifty times over, and the drop rate for him gets progressively worse. If you're not having luck with a boss, try doing something else for a bit. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  17:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * There is not a single "best" (if there is, then the game would suck). Unlike Calor, I prefer going N/Me, N/R, and N/Mo.

 * I personally use /Ritualist, simply for Death Pact Signet. My Necromancer just uses Necromancers skills for the most part. Mesmers are a good secondary as well though, Arcane Echo is good for a lot of the Necromancer's more powerful skills, and both classes share a love of Hexes and degeneration, which combos nicely. Aside from that, like Ab.er.rant said, it's generally your own play style and personal preference that decides it.

Elite skill title bug and the NCsupport nightmare.
Hello.

I have capped all 130 Canthan elites - I have checked this 5 times now from a variety of different sources. My title track says 119/120. Methinks mine is bugged?

Also, I cannot contact NCsupport. I fill out the 'ask a question' form on their site, and it asks me to create a new account (even though I filled out the form to let it know I had the PlayNC account already). Even if I try to fill out the new account option, it says that my account exists already, and I should try another email address. This is so frustrating - is there just a direct email address I can use?

Thanks. Simon.

Problem still persists, but I eventually managed to get the stupid 'ask a question' working on the plaync site - just type 'none' in the plaync account box (even if you actually do have a plaync account).

If this doesn't work for you, you can contact a human on rightnowadmin@plaync.com. This address is ONLY for if you really can't get the 'ask a question' option to work. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:217.44.241.205.

charm a creature
At the begining of the game. Is it possible to charm a bear ??--lej 23:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's usually done with an experience partner who stops the bear from using it's Break Charm skill. It's difficult, but possible.--MP47 (talk) 23:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Mini Pets
i was just wondering about the mini pets and how i could get one, also i was told that you should have one if you get the game of the year edition, is that true. also other info on how to get diffrent kinds--75.128.198.14 00:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Collector's Editions of Factions and Nightfall have exclusive minipets; some minipets came from magazines, and the majority come from Birthday Presents (when a character of yours reaches a year old, you get a random minipet in a Birthday Present item).
 * There's a full list at miniature; as well as notes one where or how to get them. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  01:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

how dp i goto guild hall?
i am in a guild but i don't know how to go there i have too much stuff to carry and I need to store gear help pls --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:58.109.79.135.
 * Use the menu to open the Guild panel, then click the Guild Hall button. Guild Wars does not have guild storage. You can access storage by talking to a Xunlai Agent. -- Gordon Ecker 02:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think like a guild member of his said something about storage at the guild hall, hence why he wanted to get to the guild hall. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  02:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Probably. Some guild halls let you access storage, but it's the same storage you can access at any Xunlai Agent or Xunlai Chest. -- Gordon Ecker 03:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You can't go to the Guild Hall if you are in Pre-Searing.  Calor  &mdash;  talk  03:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, we are probly confusing this guy, anyways, why not just go to a Merchant instead of storing it? You can make a shiny that way. &mdash;  ク   Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  04:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

being banned for purchaceing gold for guildwars
i am really upset with this situation they have with this banning people from playing after they have purchased gold ...  first off they charge so much for the items and materials required to buy or make thing's u need to play the game and they make it nearly impossible to obtain gold in game all the gold you pick up is split between you and 7 other people including heros and henchmen and they wonder why  people go to outside sources for the gold i did this and was banned for 167 hours and i find it very very disturbing and it made me very angery when after i have spent over $220.00 just on game purchases i have all 4 of the games just to have them tell me i cant play for over a week now because i went to buy gold allso if it is a violation to buy gold in this game then why is it everywhere i have gone in this game its being advertised to buy gold they let this go on but punish the person who buys some thing that is advertised so freely in game makes no sence to me at all --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:67.181.177.192.

 * All sorts of ilegal products are offered to you every day, but it is always your choice to purchase them or not. BTW, this should be moved somewhere else, account questions may be?[[Image:User Ereanor sig.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 02:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Items are expensive because of inflation. Gold selling sites get most of their gold from bot farming. Bot farming increases the amount of gold in circulation without increasing the amount of rare items, causing inflation, and gold selling allows people to accumulate huge amounts of gold, allowing them to drive up the prices of extremely rare items. What did you "need" the gold for anyway? -- Gordon Ecker 02:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Feel free to help them punish those who's selling in-game gold by letting them know who you traded with. Since you now have some time off from the game, you might be interested in the Rules of Conduct. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 04:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I see his point, but his ban is deserved. Things which are advertised in game get bans for people, that's a little sloppy to allow the in game advertisement in the first place. And he is also right about being put on an unfair playing field, my Guild Leader and some of the officers were VERY rich, they even paid people for faction donations to keep us in a town owning alliance. They had all the elite armour and a myriad of req 8 weapons etc. I recently found out he was banned for a week for buying gold. My first thought was worrying I might be banned for faction farming and accepting his bought gold, although this is not an uncommon occurance and we were unaware he bought it. The point is this guy played for a long time with all the gear I work hard to obtain and the game did nothing to stop him. When it finally did I found out he got a 1 week ban and that was it, he still has all his uber gear. I could farm for a week and still not get the benefit he got from his gold buying, this is the second time he has been banned as well. If you want to get gear fast, buy A LOT of gold in one go, buy all your gear, take your weeks ban and be happy because you saved yourself time. Anon

 * There have been ome cases recently where people have been banned because they have been thoughts of as being part of goldbuying. All of them have been banned though. I contacted support a while ago to ask if I can get banned for accepting large gold sums as reward for running if the customer has bought that gold (and I'm not aware of it). Support informed me that I wouldn't be banned in this case. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 07:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

600 / smiter
I am Trying to build a 600 monk and Smiter combo using a hero to enchant myself. I have never done this before and dont know how to go around the fact that my hero will not hold an enchantment on me. Why is this happening and how can i fix it? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:24.66.48.81.
 * If you disable the heroes enchantment with shift+click on the skill he wont remove that enchantment, but you need to manually force him to use it on you. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 07:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

How come solo farming is being nerfed so bad? The green drop chance is bad enough. And how in the world do you do the mission raisu palace? I think that soloing isn't worth it anymore. --207.177.66.139 01:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

royal tomb of primeval king
In the "elite mission" section, the faq said that the 3 mesmer bosses at the end of the 4th stage of the tomb of the primeval king are supposed to drop at least 1 green item. But, 2 times with heros/henchies i got absolutly nothing from those bosses. Is it a badluck or a bug? Thank you for your help. --209.5.96.146 13:11, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * They drop at least one item, not atleast one item for each person. The rest of your party got all of them. I was playing as an orders necro for a B/P team once and that happened to me. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 13:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * To elaborate, since heroes/henchies take their own share of the loot (which you never end up seeing), and the greens that drop are randomly assigned with repetition possible (i.e. the same person can get multiple items, and some can get none), what happened was that all of the greens, when randomly assigned, were assigned to henchies/heroes and not you. Not a bug, just bad luck. [[Image:User Aiiane-a.gif|Go to Aiiane's Talk page]] (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 13:20, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, just bad luck. They drop 2 each, for a total of six. In a party of eight, most should get one and someone might get several. Backsword 14:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

what are those boxes where ur face is on top of ur inventory screen?
every time i open my inventory screen or my skill log i see my chars face is in a little box and there are four boxes like that but my chars face is only in one what are those boxes for anyway???--Killerwolf999


 * If or when you get hero companions, their faces will be in the other boxes, allowing you to select them. Backsword 14:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
