stackable skills
Hello gw ppl, i have a question regarding some +dmg skills. For example, if my sets of skills are : -Favorable winds (+6 dmg) -Conjure Flame (+15 fire dmg) -im the strongest (+17 dmg) -Ebon Battle Standard of Honor (+11 dmg) -By ural´s hammer (+25% dmg) -plus barrage (+19 dmg) that imply that my barrage would have + 68 dmg(with barrage) + 25% dmg = +85 dmg per barrage ? or this skills are not stackable ? if not, please tell which are the non stackable ones, so i can leave the rest =). Thank you !! --200.41.230.196 15:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure whether By Ural's Hammer multiplies bonus damage or base damage (I'd assume it also multiplies bonus damage, since it works on non-attack skills), but, other than that, everything stacks. However, you might want to note that IatS might not affect all of your shots, since it has a cap on the number of attacks that it affects (each shot from Barrage counts as a separate attack).

Weird game update notice.
Recently, I did a system restore back to Jan 31st. But now on the login screen I get this announcement (January 28, 2010:Game Updated!).

I have tried -repair but did nothing. Is there anyway to resolve it, or do I have to reinstall GW? Batchie 22:34, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I just looked and it is there for me too, so I'm inclined to believe that you don't have to "resolve" anything as long as the game still runs correctly. --67.240.83.137 23:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just restarted GW and it seems that announcement must of been added a few hours ago. --Silver Edge 23:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Zoo Animals
Can you get a animal back out after you put them into your zoo? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.195.69.169 (talk).
 * Yes, see Zaishen Menagerie and Helena (Zaishen Keeper). -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 23:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Warrior stonefist insignia stackable?
does the effect of the warrior stonefist isingnia stack up to +3 seconds? or would 3 stone fist insignias just give you + 1 second of knockdown. --66.57.78.143 02:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * They do not stack. It says so right on the insignia. Vili &#x70B9; [[Image:User Vili sig.jpg|User talk:Vili]] 02:17, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Why does it say "(maximum 3 seconds)" then?--66.57.78.143 02:19, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Because Stonefist cannot increase knockdown duration beyond 3 seconds. It has no effect on Backbreaker for instance. Vili &#x70B9; [[Image:User Vili sig.jpg|User talk:Vili]] 02:22, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

table of creatures vs elemental dmg

skeletons 100% holy dmg / 80% fire / 20% earth dmg ettins 100% ice dmg/ and so on ...

this table exist ? if so, post it please =) cuz i didnt see it anywhere and it will be very helpfull in PvE. Thanks guys!!--200.41.230.196 13:30, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The closest thing for that, that I know of would be the armor rating project. It's incomplete, but it is being slowly filled in. If you find it useful, maybe you can add to it too. ~Celestia 13:36, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If you go to Cold damage, for example, there are lists of monsters that are known to be weak (or strong) against that particular damage type. At the bottom of each of those pages is a navbox that goes to the other damage types, as well. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 15:10, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

charmable animals
Can u charm a animal that is already a pet of a pve character? If so how? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.195.69.169 (talk).
 * If you're asking how to get a different one if you already have one, see tamer. If you're asking if you can take a pet from another character via Charm Animal, the answer is no. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 02:25, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

trial by fire
sorry this is probably a silly question, but i cannot find jerek in the plains of jarin... i've done the iron truth mission but i dont know what i'm missing... this is relevant to getting my character to factions...am i on the right path? i have looked in wiki but i get the feeling i'm missing something. can you please help me?--203.51.17.3 00:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)Sar Goroth
 * It looks like you are on the right path, but have you gone to see Castellan_Puuba ? I did the quests through him more so than Jerek as he only appears during some quests, as well as giving a few, but I got mine through Puuba and did the quests needed to get to Factions on my Paragon.

Nightfall
Hi my Nightfalls Character during the course of the campaign has lost a mission or has a bug, and therefore I cannot do the cooperative mission 'Consulate Docks' and proceed through the campaign. Im not sure if I haven't done something or if it's a bug. My character has level 20 and the rank of Sun spear commander, I also cannot accumulate any more Sun spear points so I'm lost on how to proceed. Help would be appreciated.
 * You should probably take a look at List of Nightfall missions and primary quests, see where you left off and continue with the next quest. – User Balistic Pve B d-dark.jpgalistic 21:37, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

One Hero
hello, i just unlocked the hero Pyre fire-shot from the priest of balthazar and he is not showing up in either the add hero option or the hero search panel i don't know why that is i unlocked him and i have EON so it should be there. Please respond ASAP --193.159.230.119 20:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Master Levan
 * If you're on a PvE character, you need to actually gain the hero through the storyline (in this case, through Warband of Brothers). [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  is for   Raine,   etc.  20:02, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Since heroes are no longer allowed in pvp, I would guess you are on a pve character and need to follow the quest line that Raine pointed to. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  20:34, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Elite Skills Not found
I purchased 2 elite skills from the preist of balthazar and when i go to use those skills its not in my inventory, but if i go back to the priest it shows that the skills are unlocked, any suggestions? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.88.220.155 (talk).
 * This is the way skills work. You do not "buy" skills at a priest of Balthazar, you "unlock" them. Unlocked skills are available directly for all PvP-only characters and all heroes. For a PvE character to get a skill, it must either buy it from a skill trainer for skill points and money (only non-elite skills), purchase it from a hero skill trainer for hero skill points (only non-elite skills), read a skill tome (only for already unlocked skills), or capture it from a boss using a signet of capture (of your primary or secondary profession).--Lensor ( talk ) 09:03, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

House zu Heltzer
How can I access House zu Heltzer? I am unable to get the quest from Jamei.--71.127.11.204 00:51, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If Jamei doesn't give you Journey to House zu Heltzer, then you need to complete the Sunjiang District mission. Check out Factions storyline chainfor the quests and missions you need to get to HzH. ~Celestia 00:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Getting code 007
i was in the canthan new year festival on and 13 of feburary 2010 and i kept going into a town and kept getting a code 007 that ment i lost connection hope u could help me with this --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.101.37.219 (talk).
 * From Error code: These error codes indicates a connection error. This means the connection between your PC and the server was interrupted, or never established. The problem may be on your system (firewall, router, modem, etc.), with your ISP or a connection problem at the server. So best to start checking your devices first. -- Arduin  [[Image:User_Arduin_Companionship.jpg|15px|talk]] 08:42, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

District hosting
Is there aanything special required (other than having the ingredients)to host a district during the Canthan New Year's Festival? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Guild of Who (talk).
 * Nope, just the ingredients. A speed boost is handy when running the chefs though. ~Celestia 13:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Festival
last year i got the hat and didnt give the ingredients to him and i got it and now im confused if i still needa go and get the mats they need or not?? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.101.37.219 (talk).22:20, 13 February 2010
 * For canthan new year the hats are the same from last time and you don't need to get materials if you just want the hat. Also if you are in a sponsored district, then you don't need materials.  --Lania Elderfire 22:34, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Key question
I have Prophecies, and Nightfall, which i have played for some time.Now i have recently purchased The Complete Collection, but enrolled it under different passwords etc...can i amalgamate the two formats? --94.10.9.194 11:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, if you didn't add your new key to your original account you can't add them together. Had you added the new key to the old account it would have only added Factions and EotN since you already had Prophecies and Nightfall. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  11:45, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If your account is new, you can try contacting support and asking for a merge. Say you created the new account by accident. They may ask for proof of ownership, such as scans of access keys. They can also say, that they won't merge the accounts... &mdash; User_Poki_sig.png Poki#3  (talk ) 16:02, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
