Xunlai Material Upgrades
Hey, I've searched the wiki but can't find any information on where to go to get my current material storage upgraded. It said that I could do it in the rulebook, and I found a page in the wiki on it, but it wasn't very informative -- anyone that knew to search for it would already have known anything the page said... Could someone add to the page or something? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:71.70.200.231 (talk).
 * You can get a material storage upgrade once only, so if you already have a materials tab, that's it. Vault box also holds information on how to get it, if that's what you meant. - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]] 01:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the material storage upgrade is an upgrade to storage that lets you access the materials storage tab, not an upgrade to material storage that gives you more material storage. You can get material storage upgrade from any Xunlai Agent. -- Gordon Ecker 01:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

secondary profession attribute points
here is one for you. i have gone from nightfall to eotn at lvl 10. i find all my secondary prof attrib points go to 0. is there a minimum lvl you must be in the expansions in order for the attrib points to come back? checked wiki no information available. thanks66.91.182.127 01:45, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Minimum level is 20... somewhere in the EotN article should state it still.--Fighterdoken 02:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the buff, Journey to the North, which they use to get you up to level 20 in power. It has a pattern of stat distribution which you can read about on the page about the buff.  Using that info you might be able to get some points into your secondary attributes. When you actually get to level 20 you will be able to distribute your points into your secondary attributes as you please. --Aspectacle 02:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Whisper Sound
how do i make the game make a sound when someone whispers to me? --18:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)~
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean. There's a ping sound every time someone pings you for the first time, without having contacted you via whisper within the past five minutes. To enable this, turn on your speakers. Press F11, and go to Sound, then move "UI Volume" up as far as you want it.  Calor  (t) 19:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * First of all, see Minipet. Secondly, minipets are given as a birthday present when a character reaches a year/two years old. They can also be given as prizes for tournaments, or through special magazine offers.

 * This is an entry point to random arenas for characters level 10 or less, see the outpost page. You basically get into a PvP battle by clicking the Enter Battle button and you'll be assigned to a random party of 4 players. --BramStoker (talk, contribs) 11:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Pre seering
What's the highest level that's attainable in pre seering.--68.109.167.251 19:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The highest level is the same as everywhere wlse - level 20. It's just ridiculously hard to get, and I wouldn't advise someone new to the game to try and get to 20 in Pre searing.-- (Brains12) [[Image:User Brains12 sig.png| ]] 19:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The highest level of level 20 can be obtained, though it will take some work! See the Defender of Ascalon title for more information on how it can be done.--BramStoker (talk, contribs) 19:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

So for someone new to the game(excluding the boredom comment)level 8 or higher is a good level to be before taking on post seering?

game freeze
enough is enough. i have time warner cable with modem internet. i am experiencing freezing of the game at all levels and areas. i am not the only one experiencing this phenomenon. people i party with have it happening also. i have cable server do extensive checks on my system and it is operating within parameters. my suggestion would be it is on the games end that this is happening. my only suggestion is that get the programers to drop thier coffee and donuts and do some serious debugging to see if they can help the players out. thank you as i have read from some answering experts this is not the site to vent ones spleen on. sorry but frustration is frustration no matter how you look at it. if they have a problem with this proceedure i suggest they deal with it. 66.91.182.127 03:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It could also be your computer, not the game or the connection. Do you get an error message, or does it just freeze?  Head to System Requirements Lab and get your computer evaluated.  Also check to see if you've downloaded the most current drivers for sound and graphics.  It may be the .dat file, in which you should consult Command line arguments for the -repair function.  Tell me if those work, if not, contact us again. -- People of Antioch   talk  [[Image:User People of Antioch sig.png]] 04:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Gold/Platinum nerfs
I heard some rumors that Anet is nerfing players with too much gold and, i dont know i guess theyre taking away players gold. I higly doubt this is true but just getting confirmation it isnt. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Wooter (talk).


 * Scammers and whatnot have always been "nerfed", ANet will always check out when someone trades 100k for nothing, or vice versa. I don't believe the rumor otherwise, not for a second. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  07:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Did you happen to also hear why they're so-called nerfing players with too much gold? It wouldn't make business sense to piss off your customers unless they have a valid reason - such as for scammers and botters. And in those cases, permanently banning them would be much simpler. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 14:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Dot map
Hi! I would like to download a dotted map (map that had been dotted) in ingame. I like to used a dotted map especially the mission or quest that im done. How could i download a dotted map or how could i used the image of dotted map that I took a screenshot and replaced those map image without dot.

Please i need help especiallly those repeatable mission or quest.

Thank you very much and your concern is appreciated
 * You can't download one, per se. What you can do (If you have at least a reasonably good computer) is run Guild Wars, with your browser in the background. Displaying on your browser could be the dotted map of the mission/quest you're doing. I do that quite often, and it's amazingly helpful.  Calor  (t) 22:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

dargon tameing
Are they're dragons in Eye of the North Edtion and if there are where are they and can u tame them? --74.51.104.48 02:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

There are no dragons in EotN (at least, not as monsters that you encounter). -- Hong 02:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, through lore and what shall happen in GW2 there are Dragons you have seen. These are Ancient dragons older than the 5 Gods as written. 1 is the dragon you see waking up after you defeat the great destroyer, one lay sleeping inside Drakkar Lake and another one is a huge one right smack dab in the middle of vanguard area. No they are not tame-able, they're even stronger than kunavang and glint. Renin 02:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Spoilers ftl possibly? -- People of Antioch  talk  [[Image:User People of Antioch sig.png]] 02:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Chromatic Drakes are dragons, and there's also a dragon in the challenge mission. -- Gordon Ecker 03:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * But sticking with the original question, no. There are no tamable dragons in any campaign. Unless you count the Iguana, Crocodile, or Dune Lizard which are very similar to Komodo Dragons, which technically have Dragon in their name. (it's a stretch, but it works. Dune Lizard even looks dragon-like.) --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  06:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Elementalist Attunement compatability
Do the skills "Elemental Attunement" and/or "Air Attunement" work on Ritualist lightning-based spells?

68.58.202.135 03:21, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * No, the ritualist spells deal lightning damage, but they aren't element-based as such. The attunes only work on Elementalist spells. -- Hong 03:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) Nope, only for the Elementalist's attributes, Earth Attunement doesn't affect the Dervish Earth Prayers skills either. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  03:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Skills from other campaigns
is there a way to obtain skills from other campaigns without actually owning that campaign ie using factions skills in nightfall --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.34.199.223 (talk).
 * Not for PvE use (outside of demo time), no. Though PvP packs can use all the skills in the specific campaign purchased for PvP only characters. -- People of Antioch   talk  [[Image:User People of Antioch sig.png]] 03:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * It actually costs more, depending on which campaign's PvP edition that you buy. The benefit is that everything is unlocked right from the start. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 09:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Right now the skill backs are $9.95, while the campaigns are $19.99 to $39.99. Do the skill packs let you use the skills in PvE with tomes? -- Gordon Ecker 05:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, I checked the in-game store.
 * Skill Packs unlock skills, nothing more; you must have the corresponding campaign to actually use the unlocked skills. What I believe they have (or used to have) was a PvP version of the campaigns; that unlocked every skill, and granted access to the campaign as well (not sure if it extended to PvE). There's also a PvP access pack, which allows you to get into PvP without any of the campaigns, and treats unlocks as though you own all of the campaigns.
 * So overall: with the Access Pack, you can use every skill, but only for PvP. Unlock packs won't let you use skills you don't have access to (i.e., Factions skills when you don't own Factions). Aside from that, if you want to use Factions skills in Nightfall PvE, then you need to actually get Factions. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  05:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

My Elite Skill has disappeared
I captured the Elite Sin skill "Flourish", had it loaded in my skills bar, changed my build. Then went to add it back, and now it's completely disappeared. Can't get it at a skills trainer or anything. Just gone! What happened? I've captured a lot of skills in the over 1 yr i've played and never had one disappear. Any ideas as to what happened, or what to do? I'm obviously going to recapture the skill again, but don't want it to go POOF!--Tat2dfreak 07:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Flourish isn't an assassin skill, it's a warrior skill. Only the skills for your primary profession and your current secondary profession are displayed in the Skills and Attributes Panel, the skills for previous secondary professions are hidden until you change back to them. -- Gordon Ecker 08:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

downloading all maps to save time
Hello

Is there anyway of loading all the maps in one go? It takes too long for me when I'm in game.

Thanks


 * You can force GW to download any information that is missing from your gw.dat file by using the -image command line option. If you have a desktop shortcut to run GW, it can be editted to add "-image" to it, then run GW. This only needs to be done once, so remove the "-image" option afterwards to run GW normally. This can be very time consuming though, even on a fast broadband connection (my gw.dat file is approx ~4GB to handle all 3 campaigns and GW:EN) --BramStoker (talk, contribs) 13:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Just to confirm, this process could take 4+ hours even on GOOD connections. I think It took me 8 hours once but I can't say for sure ('twas a school day).-  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]] 13:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for replying quickly but can someone do the whole command line for me as it won't let me do it.

Thanks again


 * It should look like this: "F:\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image the path is most likely different for you. Use the "run" entry in your start menu, look up GW.exe and add -image at the end of the line. then hit ok. --Morgoth Bauglyr 13:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Right-clicking the desktop shortcut (if you use one) will let you edit the target as well, you can add the command in to the end of it there. Another nifty trick would actually be to duplicate the shortcut, and add the command to the duplicate; that way, you've got a shortcut to start the game normally, and a second shortcut that runs the commands as well. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  04:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hang on if it forces GW to "download what's missing", then the next time it shouldn't need to "download what's missing" since it's all there, or will it just download it anyway?

opps forgot to sign that --82.10.203.89 10:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I use 2 GW icons on my desktop, one is my playing client with my password to automatically sign in (since only i use my pc) the second is for the updates, the one that contains the -image. No it would no longer need to download it again, unless another major update comes that's when really big files come in. You can even stop the process of GW downloading all the files mid-way if you need to afk for more than a day or two and it will retain any files that it has already downloaded.

ugamegold spam bot
A "whisper" appears in many outposts and towns telling people to try a web site for ugamegold.com

This may be a credit card scam, and in any case, it is irritating to everyone who is being spammed by the whispers. It changes its 'name' every day, and perhaps by area, too. I have been hit by this thing in Lion's Arch, Eye of the North, Kamadan, and a few other places.

dropping hero
this may be one of those dumb questions that never gets asked. is it possible to drop a particular hero and take an alternate even if you have completed the quest. i.e. the 2 acolytes sousuke and jin in nightfall. i picked sousuke and later find i could have a stronger team with jin. it doesnt look like a repeatable quest and i have finished anyway.its just an idea and i wanted to know if it was possible. thank you 66.91.182.127 16:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately not. The only way is to restart your character. You can get the other hero when you finish the game, but only then. However, there are a lot of good Elementalist builds that you can use and there's no need to restart because of this - Souske can be a good companion once you get him enough skills. :) Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 17:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Also, once you beat the game, you'll be able to go back and collect the Heroes you didn't pick up the first time around, so Jin won't ever be "ungettable". --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  04:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

There is also the Char ranger Pyre Sureshot in EOTN, or you can make another hero a secondary ranger and adapt that build. I imagine a Koss touch ranger could be fun, for example, but haven't tried it. He does make a neat Paragon or Dervish, though. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.99.97.238 (talk).

 * See Sunspear rank. You need to reach Sunspear Sergeant before you can get these skills. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 21:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

im at sunspear commander tho


 * Like Biscuits mentioned, all the information you need is at Sunspear Rank, and you should be able to learn vampirism if you are a Sunspear Commander. If after talking to the Sunspear Hero Skill Trainers you still cannot get the skills, it could be because you don't have any Hero Skill Points. In that case you'll have to acquire one before you can learn vampirism. Ember Silvermoon 22:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, the skill you're looking for will be under the "Sunspear Skills" section, not the "Ritualist Skills" section when you talk to the trainer.

Elite skill tome
I used an Elite Assassin skill tome while in town after unlocking the Way of the assassin skill in pvp combat. The skill does not show on my list of skills under crit strikes. Am I doing something wrong? or in some way did the game mess up and not unlock the skill for me. The skill did pop up in the Left corner of the screen saying I learned the skill. yet I cannot find it nor is it at the skill trainer to buy. What can I do?


 * Well stupid question first; you used the Tome on your Assassin, correct?
 * I think I've had similar, temporary, problems; if you haven't already, try restarting the game, and see if it's there now. Sometimes it doesn't load right away. Just update here if that fixes it, or if you're still having problems. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  05:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Treasure Hunting Title
My primary character is set at Adept Treasure Hunter. When using a lockpick or key do you have to have this skill ticked in the title to receive the appropriate lockpick % and also the relevant level of item or can your tick be place on the lightbringer title for instance.

Also will this level of skill in the primary character have a trickle down effect in all of my other account characters. A new level 20 ranger for instance doesn't appear to pick up any golds(Even in Hard Mode) or knowledge in add ons very often(therefore no new title track).Is this is because my primary character already knows them.

Many Thanks

 * Two questions here. First of all, you DO NOT need to have the treasure hunter title ticked to get the lockpick bonus. Keep in mind though that the Treasure Hunter title is character, not account based, so your new ranger will have to work on building up ranks in the title separately from your first/older character.


 * Second point is a bit different, item unlocks apply across your account rather than a character. So, for example, if you find a gold sword with max fortitude (+30) mod on character A, it'll be unlocked with a little window saying so.  If you later find the same mod with character B, it's already been unlocked for your account, so there won't be an unlock window displayed.


 * Identifying unknown gold items will however still add to the Wisdom title track for the character doing the identifying, even if any addons/inscriptions/mods etc. are already unlocked for your account. Some players consider this a waste though, and will usually pass all unidentified gold items to a single character to ensure their Wisdom title is boosted as much as possible.


 * In short, Treasure Hunter title=Character based. Item unlocks/addons=Account based.

Lag Spikes
Hello, I am having problems, With Lag spikes... i went to options and lowered some of the settings, and still i am having Lag spikes, do you know of any helpful hints to this --216.150.115.53 15:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It could easily be A.net's servers being slowed, it's not always the user. Of course, having a better-than-average connection will help lower lag spikes. Allegedly.-  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]] 15:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't lower some of the setting, lower them all. Also, make sure you have nothing open in the background (ie MSN, IE, WMP, etc) &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  17:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Yellow zeros instead of blue healing numbers
I noticed lately when I'm playing on my monk that sometimes when I heal someone, instead of seeing the usual blue health value and divine favor numbers above their character, I see yellow zeros. I know they are still being healed because I can see their health bars go up. Is this possibly a corrupt dat file on my end or are others experiencing this? If anyone encountered this before, how did they solve it? Tedium 05:56, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

using a game control pad, logitech
Is there anyway to use a logitech game pad/control rather than having to use my lap tops touch pad ? I am wanting to use a controller because it is easier to manuver the character,

Thanks


 * natively you can't assign a gamepad to work as controls. if your gamepad came with mapping software i would map certain buttons to certain things you could also get other mapping software around the internet.--<font color="#FF99CC">話す  <font color="#FF0033">priestess donut  <font color="#FF99CC">寄付 19:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Gwen's Flute
Hi guys, in Wiki you mention that Gwen will heal you after you have given her a new flute, and also mention about not doing the flute quest in a party - well it seems something went wrong with my quest - i got the old flute, but joined a party before taking to Gwen again, and the other party member then completed the quest, and hence she doesn't ask me for a new flute.... also, I gave her the flowers and small girls cape and then got the "tapestry" thing, but my question is - will she heal me know that I am "her favourite person" but never got to give her a new flute?? thanx--41.244.24.21 20:52, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Game crash after new patch.
Ok, I had played GW:factions(only one i got) allmoast a year ago when i deleted it and stopped playing but now i installed it again and it worked fine untill i turn it on one time and game starts downloading patch and when it hits 100% this happend and happens all the time I launch game since and i cant play...

how do i report someone that is useing inappropriate language. i have the saying save as a pic so plz let me know so i can help to uphold the rules and polices.

Thank You, Andrew Whitley


 * about it crashing i would say re-install it. i would also say it's vista's fault since GW isn't 100% vista compatible. so re install it or change the command line to -repair to repair it before re installing it. about reporting someone just do /report (insert name of character name) and a window will pop up and just go through those steps.--<font color="#FF99CC">話す  <font color="#FF0033">priestess donut  <font color="#FF99CC">寄付 22:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Blindness
I was looking thru the skill descriptions and was wondering if blindness works on casters. It says in the wording that attacks have a 90% chance of missing (melee and bow). My main reason for asking this is that I am trying to vanquish areas in Elona with the elementalist bosses that utterly destroy my party with searing flames or savannah heat. One disadvantage I have is that I am attempting this with just heroes and henchies, so trying to manage them all is somewhat difficult when they clump up. I figure if I can blind them, it will give the rest of the party the time to finish them off. Any suggestions out there? 72.24.236.77 18:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * heh, think of it. if you're blind, would you be able to speak some magic words? blind only affects hitting with a weapon. to stop enemies from casting, bring a mesmer using domination Magic, an assassin that applies Shroud of Silence, or anything that applies Daze, which is pretty much what you could call "blind" for casters. - <tt>Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 18:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * A trick when using Heroes against nasty AoE stuff like Searing Flames is to give them all separate flags, to force them to spread out a bit. Clumping is a real big problem in the regard, but like Y0_ich_halt mentioned, an interrupting Mesmer will do nicely, especially considering the Hero AI's super-human reflexes with interrupting skills. Power Block might be especially useful. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  14:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Factions/ Stuck
Wiki says to do "FINDING THE ORACLE" after Vizunah Square. Says to talk to Messenger Gosuh to get quest but he does not offer one. I have completed Vizunah Square.
 * Are you sure you accepted the quest for Mayhem in the Market/Welcome to Cantha (which one you had depends on which campaign you started on - Prophecies/Nightfall for the first, Factions for the second Factions for the first, Prophecies/Nightfall for the second)? You might need to accept the quest then do Vizunah Square for the progression to update and allow you to take Finding The Oracle. --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|15px| ]] Brains12 \ Talk 19:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I went back to get Mayhem and he offers nothing, so I did do it. I am pretty sure this is a Factions Character because all the cities on the Island are on my map. Ministers Chos Estate, ect.. Any more suddestions?
 * Made a mistake up above so I corrected myself. Not really sure what else you can do tbh, sorry. --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|15px| ]] Brains12 \ Talk 19:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh well. just did Vizunah again, still can't get quest. A friend told me this happened to him and he had to delete character and start over. I wonder if they are aware of this problem...

Armour -
Hi there

I can't sell my used armor. The ones listed in blue will not let me sell and have a value of $0.

Please can someone tell me why?

Thanks!
 * If it's the starter armor (the armor you started with), it's not sellable. You will simply have to delete it to get rid of it. &mdash; Galil [[Image:User Galil sig.png|Talk page]] 03:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Secondary From Other Campaigns?
Title is kinda self-explanatory... I've got all the campaigns, and I was wondering how to get my Dervish a secondary from Factions. I've seen D/A's and D/Rit's, but I've got no clue how to get a secondary in this way.
 * Get your Dervish to Senji's Corner and talk to Senji, the profession changer.  Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 00:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually you can get it changed from a profession changer at the command post. Renin 02:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The profession changer in the Great Temple of Balthazar should be able to as well. -- Kakarot [[Image:User_Kakarot_Sig.gif|Talk]] 02:54, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I meant how would I get my Dervish a Factions secondary without getting a secondary in the first place or ascending? Or is it even possible?
 * You should be able to get it as soon as you get to the Command Post and have done the resepecive quest as well as once you can map to the great Temple of Balthazar. -- Kakarot [[Image:User_Kakarot_Sig.gif|Talk]] 18:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You can't choose it as a secondary profession at the start of the game, only when you are able to speak to a profession changer. You'll have to pick a different one until then. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 18:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Answer: you can't. You can only gain your initial secondary on your home continent, which precludes a Dervish from choosing A or Rt from the start. You also need to be ascended by any of the three methods to make the switch. However this is only a temporary situation. When you switch secondaries as instructed above, you can switch back and forth at will and it doesn't take very long in the Nightfall campaign to get to that point. Not being able to pick A or Rt at the start isn't that big of a deal.  --Valshia 18:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
