gettign from factions to another area
i have 2 characters in factions that cannot find the quest to get off the island to another area such as kaineng center, lions arch, eotn etc. i have read wiki quest and it says there are 200? quest available. my chara name grandma whacked lvl15 e/r i think talking to first mate xiang in seitubng harbor and when i do nothing? i enjoy gw very much and i know you guys want to make it challenging which peeks our interest that is good. finde this stuff out has become ludicruse(?) spellings off. i would really like to get off the island and on with the adventure. any ideas pls. thank you Richstan1 14:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * From Factions, Kaineng Center offers all the quests needed to visit other campaigns.-  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]] 14:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You need to finish the primary quest up until a certain point before you can get off Shing Jea Island. If you just arrived in Seitung Harbor, you need to continue questing until you've completed the Zen Daijun mission, and only then will the quest that leads you to mainland Cantha be available to you. Have you received Looking For Trouble? Completed it? Follow that page to find all the quests that you need to follow (the "followed by" link) to get to the mainland. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 14:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Heroes Lvling?
Will a hero lvl up if he/she is on avoid combat mode? In other words, will they gain xp without fighting but in defensive mode? Also, is there a Hero experience bar that you could check and see how far are they away from lvling up? Thank.Azn Hikaru 02:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes (I'm 99% sure), and no.  Calor  (t) 02:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * any one else knows for sure? -- Azn Hikaru 03:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I keep my Monk heroes on avoid combat all the time, and I've leveled them with no problems. It's the same way that a player can gain EXP without actually attacking a foe; power-leveling wouldn't be so easy if the guy getting leveled needed to help out, eh? Same goes for any person actually playing as a Monk, chances are they won't be "fighting", per say. You simply need to be in the area I think (not sure how big the range is, might be party-wide or radar-range for EXP to count, possibly no range limit for your own heroes). Have your heroes kill a foe and don't help them yourself, and you'll notice you gain EXP when the foe dies; works the same way in reverse as well. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  04:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Hero Armour Display (Hall of Monuments)
I have upgraded some of my hero armour. And of course you cannot put a hero on that fellowship monument until you upgrade their armour. My complaint is that they are not wearing the upgraded armour. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? --Kyleslater 05:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Nope, that's how it works (unfortunately). Perhaps someday they'll add in the upgraded armor sets, even better if they add it as an option (don't hold your breath). But for now, they display with default armor. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  05:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Miniature Asura
Hi! I have a code for "Miniature Asura" from PCmaster magazine and i put it. I follow the instractions but i cant take the quest "Toy's Story". Why?

Thank you!!!


 * The Toy Story quest is for a different miniature, from what I know. If you entered the code for the Asura, just type "/bonus" in-game to get it, I believe (might be "/special" instead). --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  21:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Whichever one of those is correct, should probably be added to Miniature Asura. ;-) Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 21:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Got my Asura quite a while ago, so I don't remember which one it was... I do know it was one of those commands though. Dig around a bit; if it doesn't list the command in the PC Gamer magazine (or PCmaster, wherever you got it), then it should be somewhere else easy to spot... tells you in the chat log I think when you have an unclaimed mini on your account. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  00:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Sunspear Reputation Points
Are there any guides on farming sunspear points?? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:144.137.70.61 (talk).


 * Not yet. In Kourna, farming insects in Arkjok Ward outside of Yohlon Haven works well early on. Once you've gotten far enough, one of the fastest ways to farm sunspear points is in by hunting undead in The Sulfurous Wastes in Hard Mode with Junundu, you can also farm Lightbringer points fairly quickly on the same run if someone has the right quest (A Show of Force), and Requiem for a Brain also helps. -- Gordon Ecker 11:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I posted somewhere else my method I used for getting R10 SS. Head north out of Gate of Desolation on hard mode. Get the bounty and head east. Hop in a wurm and kill the mobs on your way north. Eventually you'll start to head east- kill the mob of undead just north of that big mound of safe land, then head south and kill Vahlen and his crew. I had it down to 4 minutes, so it isn't long at all. My description might sound cryptic, but once you get out there, it's pretty easier- you're just doing a 1/4 rotation counter clockwise around that mound (from the 3 oclock position to noon). 4 minutes, 500 points per run (1000 since its 2x this weekend) - elviondale  (tahlk) 12:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Best Build for a Warrior/Elementalist-- Why can't you have more than one Elite Skill
Any Ideas on what the best build for an allrounder Warrior/Elementalist would be. I am currently running a bleeder warrior set up(Battle Rage is my Eite Skill) with a couple of minor skills like fire ball to do initial long distance damage.

Also if you have a secondary profesion why not allow for one elite skill per profession. Ie in my case one elite warrior skill and one Ele skill.

Sorry to go on here but more skill boxes would also be a great help. I guess this is all part of the game though to ensure that you pick the right skills for the right mission!! (91.194.221.225 13:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC))

 * It sounds like it could be overheating. Check your CPU fan (and graphics card fan if it has one) for dust. -- Gordon Ecker 04:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * It could also be a corrupted hard drive sector. You can check by scanning the hard drive with the error-checking tool in the hard drive properties window. -- Gordon Ecker 06:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds mostly like the CPU getting overheated. If the GPU gets overheated, you usually only get artifacts. But then again, most computers just turn off completely when the CPU gets too hot. Are you having problems with any other games/applications? Is your CPU/GPU overclocked? Did you try new drivers for the graphics card? I know ATI's drivers used to make me reboot every now and then before. If you've got hardware mixing with sound enabled in the game, did you also try getting new sound drivers? Also check your DirectX version. Outdated DirectX combined with bad graphics card drivers can also cause issues. &mdash; Galil [[Image:User Galil sig.png|Talk page]] 07:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Please can you tell me that if you drop an item because your inventory is full and you intend to go back later to get it will it have disappeared? Is there a certain area where you can do this? Thanks
 * An exploreable area refreshes every time you go in and out, so it won't be there the next time you go there.

 * Storm Djinn's Haste, Flame Djinn's Haste, Armor of Mist, all of those are Elementalist skills and provide a sizable speed boost for a nice duration.
 * For other professions, there's really too many to list here... I don't think GWW has a good list of speed-boosts, but there's one at GuildWiki (link). If you've already got a good eye for useful skills, that's a nice list of everything in the game that boosts speed.

 * Report. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 22:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Also keep in mind, "false advertising" isn't necessarily a bannable offense in-game. It's a pretty low move on your "runner's" part, but not actually breaking any rules. Generally, don't ever pay someone for a run before they finish it at least halfway (in the case of a Drok's run, you normally pay at the halfway point, and the rest of the price at the destination). Anyone who asks for the money up-front is generally trying to scam you, or they're just really, really afraid of getting scammed back (it's not uncommon for someone to get a run, reach the destination, and then take off with a shout of "haha, you can't make me pay").

I keep killing them, but I've only been able to collect one unique item drop. Playing in normal mode. I found the unique items I wanted at this WIKI, but when I killed the bosses no unique weapons or focus items dropped?--SheIsSoFiery(Warrior/Monk)

Oops! I dented your armor! Here let me hammer that out for you. ~Devona(Guildwars Warrior)
 * Bosses generally have a low drop rate for the unique items, with a few exceptions they don't drop every time. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 16:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Bosses' weapons are supposed to be very rare, so they only drop them very rarely. The only guaranteed way to get the weapon is to either buy it from a player, or farm the boss repeatedly. Also keep in mind that heroes and henchmen take a share in the drops, so if you have any in your party, it may have dropped but a henchman invisibly picked it up. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 17:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * just a note on your henchies and heros sharing the drops to, even if you send them away it will still take a few trys (took 6 runs to get a totem axe solo and about 9 to get a green offhand i wanted),  one tip that might help if you can 1 v 1 the boss, bring your posie with you.  And once you reach the boss, clear away his friends (normaly you can carefully pull them).  and you send your henchies away till there names are grayed instead of in white, then your getting 100% of the drops at that time(still share gold pick ups) --Sumta 01:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Consider that the format for builds isn't even close to being finished. Any builds here will most likely either have a specific but common use (55 monk), or be on User pages. Also, since many libraries now have computers, it is my regret to nitpick that analogy. It is like walking into a library without computers and asking if you can use a computer to access wikipedia.

GW stops connecting, possibly after update
Every so often I encounter a problem with connecting to ArenaNet. The loading bar sits at the begining and doesn't move. ArenaNet.com suggested that sometimes an Internet Protection program's firewall might block the game from running after the game updates, and indeed, it did stop working after it had updated. But since I hadn't been on for a week before it had updated this last time, i do not know if that is the exact reason. Every administrator on the computer can run the game normally, and at times when i have admin rights (to install stuff onto the computer) the game will work, as it has today. But when my account on the computer is reverted back to standard user, it will only be a week or so before it stops working again. I have Windows Vista and Norton 2008. GW.EXE has already been added to the firewall's exception list, as allow all. I'm allowed to play all games up to Mature level, and I do not believe that I have any restrictions in that regard. What might be the cause and how do I prevent it from occuring again?


 * This is a game question, for one. Wiki questions are for questions about the Wiki. I'll move it.
 * Now, just to be completely sure, disable your firewall and try to connect again; one problem I used to have with a different firewall was, even though GW.EXE was allowed, if the game tried to look for an update, or another part of the program tried to connect, the firewall would get all up-in-arms and shoot it down.
 * It also seems that your computer account status has something to do with it; I've got no experience in that regard, having always used Admin-status accounts. Perhaps something in the permissions for the account isn't letting you use the program after a certain amount of time, or maybe it's a part of your firewall still; it could be restricting your connection a bit more then for the admin-status account(s). --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  06:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

 * First, we are not a-net, so we can do nothing about the ban. Second, posting your e-mail here is bad, and what is bad is not good :). Jokes aside, you answered your own question. You were banned for "using the all chat channel for selling instead of the trade channel". It has been stated several times that no trade action is allowed on the "all chat" channel, and doing otherwise earns the offender with a temporary ban. Just remember to use the "Trade" channel next time (and no, it does not matter if you just wanted to help, using the all chat for selling/buying can't be done).--Fighterdoken 05:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I used faction points to get the hero Razah in pvp. Later I did the quest "finding a purpose" and unlocked the hero in pve,on the skills bar it has a lot of his skills locked, how do I unlock them? I only have EOTN and NF campaigns.Thank you.74.229.228.95 14:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * you can only use skills from the campaigns added to your account. in other words: to unlock those skills with the lock icon on them, buy their campaign. to unlock those just darkened, buy them with a pve-character or unlock with faction. - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 14:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * (ec) Not sure what exactly is being asked, but you may need to get factions, the campaign where Ritualists(Razah) were introduced.-  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]] 14:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I would like to know how to unlock Razah skills in pve. There are no ritualist skill trainers in nightfall and eye of the north. On Razahs skill and attribute bar there are locks on his skills. Could it be confused with the Razah I got in pvp with faction points prior to doing the quest "To Find a Purpose"? Thank you74.229.228.95 15:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * read above. you need to buy guild wars factions to use non-nightfall ritualist skills. - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 15:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Not sure if it exists as a place in the game... but you should check Margrid's article in case you haven't yet. I fail at reading above... so don't be like me, and READ the answer to your previous question :) --Fighterdoken 22:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

xunlai chest
I have not only activated my account with an agent but also purchased the upgrade, however I am only able to deposit money and no items or materials.
 * With the Storage open on your screen, and your Inventory open, you should be able to drag and drop items right into the storage from your inventory... if you're looking for a "Deposit Items" button, there isn't one, it's just a drag and drop interface. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  04:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

lockpicks
Twice I've had lock picks dissapeer from my backpack, what's up with that?
 * They often break if you use them. There's a better chance of retaining with a Lucky or Treasure Hunter title.  Calor  (t) 00:03, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 * The "Core" part of the game is the part shared by all three campaigns and the expansions. See Core. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 02:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes but were do I go to enter into the core area?

 * They're farming Destroyer Cores. I'm not sure what area people do that in, though. — [[Image:User_Kyrasantae_Fin_sig.gif]]  kyrasantae  02:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

thx for the help...i just need to talk to a few ppl i guess now
 * Core areas include areas that any campaign owner can go to. Like UW, FOW, and anywhere in The Battle Isles <B><font color="Blue">RT </B>| <font color="Black"><B>Talk</B>  06:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Also note, Core does not mean "the centre of the earth", it means "content that you can access no matter which campaings you have". Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 10:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Central Transfer Chamber, the Glint's challenge is the purple place you call "the core." Renin 10:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * also Core Campeign skills is deemed as shared skill that are in all 3 games, not just 1 --Sumta 11:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Memory leak.
I recently updated the game, and all of a sudden after a while the game crashes because of a "out of memory" error. Usually the game only took between 600MB-700MB of ram, but it ate right through my 2GB of ram. Before I even play My ram usage is at 300MB-350MB. Is it just me or does this happen to somebody else as well?

Michael (Kaling) Amigliore
 * 2GB ram here as well on notebook. Average usage I see is mostly between 500-600MB with peaks of up to 700MB sometimes. My current is 532MB. I have no problems with leakage in GW. I do have problems sometimes when I have Firefox running too long, but that most likely is due to the addons in it. If it is a constant problem perhaps contact tech support? -- [[Image:User_Clantron_sig.gif]] Clantron 15:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Firefox is pretty bad for memory leaking, without any addons. To the OP: test with minimal programs running and use task manager to identify the culprit. It's probably not GW. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 15:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I had a similar problem some months ago on my computer. GW used to quit after ~7 hours; when I formatted my computer, the problem was gone. poke | talk 15:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Also- if you're running Vista, that along need a gig to run smoothly. My new laptop came with 1gb, but I had already ordered 2-2GB sticks from Dell for 52$ total (DDR2 667). 4GB with a TL 68 and 8600M GT is the only way to roll. - elviondale  (tahlk) 18:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
