I am trying to help my little brother create his new account, but I got code 103
Hi, I'm gilgamesh. (my player name) and my brother got guild wars prophecies, he was attempting to create his account when the computer shut down on him. Now, he already entered the access key. So he couldn't get back on, since it exited out on him. So now, we have an unborn account, with only the key entered, with no name or password. What should i do?

There was no email address or password set in. we got the game at best buy. We got him the game on August 11, 2007. Mid afternoon. --72.144.162.94 00:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

guild wars key code
What's up yall well I just got a new laptop and uninstalled guildwars on my old comp and installed it on my new laptop but it keeps saying the key is in use....can anyone tell me what I should do? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:71.83.114.252.

ya about that lol I can't remember my account and my old e-mail is inactive....so is there something I can do --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:71.83.114.252.
 * You might still be able to login because Anet doesn't actually check whether an email address is active or not upon login, since it doubles up as your account name.

windows vista
Ok, as of now, is windows vista still being tested? or what's up? has GW had any improvements with vista? Would it be a good idea to buy guildwars and install on windows vista, even though it's still edgy? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:70.245.156.37.
 * I run Guild Wars on one of my computers that has Vista. The only thing that seems buggy is when I maximize it or make it windowed.  It seems to take about a 30 seconds to redisplay the game- and I know its not lacking in memory, processing power, or graphics.  All in all, I think Vista is very able to run Guild Wars. - elviondale  (tahlk) 07:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * What sort of problems did you hear of for Vista? From what I know, there's no issue with running GW on Vista. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 10:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm running GW on vista. It works fine in Windowed mode, but when alt-tabbing between full screened guild wars and the desktop there is an exceptionally long delay.  Whereas, on my crappier machine running windows XP the tab happens almost instantly.  (but that's most games, I'm thinking I might need another gig of memory on the computer running vista.)--Drekmonger 11:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just to add my experience: I've been running GW on Vista with no problems, however my system is rather meaty. I did have a problem with the display driver crashing every time I minimised (by, for example, /wiki-ing) - but that was in consequence of playing the old follow-the-driver updates from nVidia. In short, if you meet the recommended specs for Vista, GW should run fine. -- Snog  rat [[Image:User Snograt signature.png]] 06:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Im running GW on vistax64. no problems. some odd things to happen (i get a screen flicker after loding screen if i run fullscreen but its only 1 flicker and doesnt bother me) but running in a window clears everyhting up. no issues for vista. your clear :) -TehBuG-

I have multiple users on Vista and only my admin account can play. Other account, nothing happens when one double-clicks on Guild Wars. [Ruth Haus]

Well, going to Cantha is part of the quest. Once there, you will need to fight several enemies to complete the quest, however this is after you can map travel to Kaineng Center, so you don't have to fight if you don't want to complete the quest. Invincible Rogue 13:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Heroes
My question is if you beat the Nightfall game, do you get all of the heroes that you did not choose when you had a choice? I noticed on one of the notes on WIKI "Brain vs Brawn" quest that after you beat the game you will get the hero you did not choose. Does this also inqure about Acolyte's? and the Sly and Master of Whispers? Please let me know.

Thanks. Samuel The Paladin (US) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:12.186.76.138.

Primary/secondary from factions/nightfall
is it possible to have a primary from say factions then get a secondary from nightfall, for example an assassin/dervish I have all campaigns all on same account.
 * Yes. To use your example, start an Assassin in Factions and pick any secondary. Play through the campaign until you get to Kaineng Center and go over to Nightfall by taking the quest Sunspears in Cantha. Go through that campaign until you complete the quest Hunted!, and talk to the profession changer in the Command Post and pick Dervish. Same basic idea for a Nightfall primary and Factions secondary, the profession changer in that case being Senji in Senji's Corner - Tanetris 11:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

ah okay thanks, so u can do it but u cant get a secondary from another campaign before you actually get your character to the other campaigns region? =P
 * Correct. - Tanetris 11:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

How do I get cute hair styles
I keep seeing girls with cute hairstyles. 1 was with 2 buns on her head, then 2 strips of har coming down.I asked them,they said fractions, I don't now what that is.
 * At the character selection screen, you can customize your characters appearance. The models and faces are different for each campaign so when they said that the character was factions it means that they were created in that campaign.  - elviondale  (tahlk) 20:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Heroes in this sense refers to player characters, either in the sense of humans, henchmen, and Nightfall Heroes - elviondale (tahlk) 20:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Henchmen
I'm just starting out and I'm not quite sure how to hire henchmen. Can you do it right at the start or is it something that is reserved for once you've completed a specific level. I keep reading about all the NPCs available but when I talk to then there doesn't seem to be an option to hire. Where and what do I do
 * If you're playing the original game (aka Prophecies) then you start in a special area, you can't get the henchmen until you leave that area (but you may find and talk to some of them in the beginning area). If you're playing Factions of Nightfall they should be available almost immediately.  --Rainith 22:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * They can be added to your party through either the Party Search panel, or by selecting the henchman and then clicking the add button in the party window. -- Gordon Ecker 23:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Tips for a noob
Tips for a noob: ive ordered guild wars 1 & 2, i will be getting them in a day or two, is their any thing i really need to know before i start, and is there any sort of advice for beginners type page? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:196.25.255.250. im a noob hahahahahahahaha
 * Since its such a large game, I'd suggest finding a friendly guild asap. When you create your character, several help dialogs pop up, so that should guide you through the basics of gameplay.  Don't be afraid to try what you want to do- dying doesn't penalize you when you start in Guild Wars (Prophecies) and even after the searing, it only subtracts from your health and energy when you are resurrected.  - elviondale  (tahlk) 15:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

 * If you were using Local chat instead of Trade chat to advertise buying and selling things, then yes, that's considered spam and can get you a suspension. There was announcement on the login screen for over a month that Arenanet is cracking down on the use of Local for things that should go on Trade. That said, if you would like to protest your suspension, you can visit http://www.guildwars.com/support/ and submit a ticket to Support. - Tanetris 17:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Mouse Buttons
I started playing GW about a month ago, and almost immediatley binded skills 7-8 to my extra mouse buttons. Recently though, they've stopped working, so I have to use the keyboard. Does anyone know whats wrong? Aznshorty67 14:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is most likely with your mouse software (Setpoint, if it's a Logitech like mine.) I've had several similar problems - mouse buttons > 4 don't seem to be recognised by most software, so I usually use the mouse software to bind the buttons to specific key presses - for example, my mouse button 5 is set to "#" and my 7 is set to "c". That way, as far as GW is concerned, you are pressing keys, not using an unrecognised mouse button. -- Snog  rat [[Image:User Snograt signature.png]] 21:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll try this with some obscure keys. Is there any way to make it so it only happens in GW and not in other apps? For example I still use them for forward/back in my browser. Aznshorty67 14:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

how do i get the wurm to help me with mission and where do i find it??? (85.210.30.230 20:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC))
 * In order to use the wurms, you need to complete the Gate of Desolation mission. If you are in the mission and have beaten back the undead horde and queen wurm, click on the wurm spoor.  There's sometimes an issue with Joko getting stuck making the mission log unable to update when you defeat the queen, thus leaving you unable to use the spoor.  If this happens, I've usually unstuck him by approaching him, then yet him run around until the log updates --Valshia 21:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC).

A stupid question, but please answer!!
I recently purchased Guild Wars and I was wondering, if I buy Nightfall or Factions I will still be able to adventure (as an Assassin in example) with people that dont own them? I am asking because a friend of mine and I play togheter but I want to create an Assassin which is a part of an Expansion but he doesnt want to buy it. Can I still adventure with him as a new profession from Nightfall or Factions? Do I still see the same places as before plus new ones? Please let me know.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR REPLYING SO QUICKLY, ANY TIPS ON HOW TO DEFEAT THESE CREEPS IN THE GATE???

hay, can you guys tell me where is pvp arena becouse i want fight outher players and when your in a guild can you tell me how to do hall of heroes. thanks --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:70.240.187.170.
 * First, please post new questions at the bottom. Second, can you not type in full capital letters? And third, could you use a more description header? You keep using "stupid question for level 20"... and it's not stupid to be level 20 and still not know certain things.


 * And to answer you, if you're looking for PvP, open your world map ('M') and click on the ship icon. Then map over to the Battle Isles. If you're in a guild, use 'G' and go to your guild hall. You can do AB, GvG, and competitive missions from there. And finally, you can also create a PvP character to do PvP. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 03:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Who moderates guild-wars?
Hey guys!

Well, I have been wondering this for a while, is there a group of people who moderate the game, or does the community rely on normal members reporting every rule that is broken in game?

Also, have the guild wars staff ever considered an in game report system were you could just click report and put in someones nane and it would automatically send you a screenshot without having to save it and then send it from th ArenaNet site?

Lastly, (This question only applies if there are moderaters in the game) can I normal member (like me) become one or do you have to be proffessionally involved with the company?

Thanks, Hammeh 09:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * ANet has their own staff members who, among other responsibilities, watch out for bots, scammers, and other violations. Any player can also report violations through the support system on the GW website. An in game system will most likely never be created as that would result in endless spam where little kids report their friends for fun or because they get better drops. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 09:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

hello can soemone tell me why is guild wars nat as good graphics as world of war craft, I would think that they would be a little worse but the graphics on this one are really dumb --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:122.148.35.200.

Compatibility between expansions
Hello all, I purchased Nightfall, can I play the standard campaign from Guild Wars (Not Nightfall) and adventure with people I know that only have Guild Wars basic package? Can they see me and I can team with them with a different profession not included in the basic package(Paragon)? Could you tell me how?

Thank you.
 * There are no restrictions on playing with people that don't have content you do. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 13:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As long as you have the Prophecies campaign yourself there is nothing stopping you taking any content from other campaigns (this includes professions, items, skills, heroes and anything else exclusively available in other campaigns) to Tyria with you and play with friends. You must complete an appropriate quest (see Map-Travel) to enable travel to the other continents, from that point on it is as simple as clicking on the travel icon on the map screen.

Going into PvP
So, I want to start PvPing, but after reading some forums and such I don't know if I'm ready. First, I have a Mesmer, which obviously wasn't a good choice to start GW with, and second I don't want to screw up people's strategies. It seems like GW PvP is a bit like Counter-Strike, where there are standard strategies like rushing and such. Will people yell at me if I go in and run around helplessly? Aznshorty67 21:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. - elviondale  (tahlk) 22:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I would get with a group of people, such as a guild, that is understanding and will help you learn the basics of PvP. I wouldn't put too much stock in reading guides and such- yet its good to learn some of the mechanics and trends.  Nothing is as good as experience though.  Scrimming with other guilds will offer some valuable experience. - elviondale  (tahlk) 22:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * When you go to Heroes Ascent (for example) there a some people looking for newcomers for their guilds. It's a very good start to have a PvP guild. poke | talk 23:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * For a quick taste of what low lvl pvp is like try out the Random Arena's. Also be aware that you can create PVP only characters at any time as long as you have an empty character slot.  Good Luck  --Coridan 10:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

210.222.179.215 14:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You need to set up port forwarding on the router. The game servers are trying to contact your comp through the router, but the router doesn't know where the incoming connection should go.  See Help:Ask a game question/Archive2007 08 1-10.

Team Chat not working?
Hello,

When using the Team Chat line, I can only see part of the message above my teammate's head. Also, this is the only place that Team Chat appears, so I can't read it unless I'm looking at them. Is the team chat text supposed to appear anywhere but above my teammate's head? If so where, and if not, how can see the rest of what my teammate is saying? (Its not showing up where the normal chat lines do, in the bottom left.)

147.97.34.226 15:31, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Open the chat panel and check to see if the Team box is checked. You probably turned it off at some point and forgot about it.  --Valshia 16:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

No, team chat is on, the tab is clicked, but I still can't see the whole message, and only above their head. Nowhere else. I've actually been telling people to whisper me so I can read the whole message. This only happens in Team Chat. Every other chat line appears bottom left. Is team chat supposed to appear bottom left, or only above their head?

Thanks,

NO BEAST MASTER MODS OR WEAPON OR OFFHANDS?
WHY isnt there any mods for beastmastery there should be just like every other class can have a +1 to a attribute there isnt one for best mastery ? its unfair and they need to do something about it we need beast mastery weapons and offhands and mods  meaning staffs and rods or bows with req 9 mark with beast mastery mods on it. (drizzt wildhuntsma) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:67.82.52.146.


 * Since the inscription system was introduced +1 weapon upgrades can't exist without a BM-linked weapon. ANet has likely decided not to include weapons liked to Beast Mastery for balance reasons since a beast master could just fully spec into just 2 attributes and have full utility (Good damage from both him and the pet, healing, and various utility skills). (Although I have no idea kind of weapon could be linked to BM from a lore perspective.) If you wish to suggest they include BM-linked weapons, the Fan-Forums are the best place for that. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 18:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Bonus Items Has a Cap?
My account has the GW:EN, so I'm using the items to replace my heroes' weapons. There seems to be a capped at 2 of each weapon for each character. I can create more weapons on other characters. Anyone else getting this? Is this a possible bug? --Cloud Strife 06:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't encountered this, but make sure you aren't holding any of the weapons on your character as those will give you a message saying you already have them. Move them to a hero and you will be able to create more versions. - B e X  [[Image:User BeXoR sig.gif|iawtc]] 05:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Did you try to move the items away from your heroes to your storage before creating new ones? Just an idea. :) -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 06:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * One of my characters has all bonus weapons equipped on the heroes, so you are definitely able to generate more than 2. (and yes, you have to move them out of your inventory before creating the next one) - elviondale (tahlk) 06:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It won't let me move it to the Storage. --Cloud Strife 06:18, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope, you can't. Add your hero to the party and equip them with the item.  Type /bonus again to get the next one.  Bonus items can't be sold, salvaged, traded, or put in storage. - elviondale  (tahlk) 06:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Please, I know all that. --Cloud Strife 06:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * -_- - elviondale (tahlk) 06:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I could make two weapons of each kind, so I know how to move them from my backpack to make more. What I didn't understand was how come I couldn't make a third. No attitude intended because I know you're here to help. --Cloud Strife 06:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You can try to change the place of the item and another one in the storage. For example if you have a regular sword in your inventory and you want to put a bonus item shield to the storage, drag the sword from the storage on top of the shield and they will change places. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 06:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That doesn't work anymore Gem. They disabled it in a recent update. - B e X  [[Image:User BeXoR sig.gif|iawtc]] 06:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

You asked me to test so I did. My two healers are using the exact same items (hourglass + wolf's favor) and with them both in the party at the same time I can still create third of both using /bonus. - B e X   06:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's okay for me now. I'm wondering if it was a bug before. --Cloud Strife 06:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Weird. For some reason or another I can use /bonus to create that weapon I wasn't able earlier. Nothing has changed since then. --Cloud Strife 06:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Updated my situation. I did log out before. That must have fixed whatever was wrong. I also changed characters but that did nothing. Anything to explain my problem that passed? --Cloud Strife 06:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've no idea why it would happen. You could always send a ticket to support and see if they have any answers (they usually dont lol) . - B e X  [[Image:User BeXoR sig.gif|iawtc]] 06:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

It happened again. I can't create it. --Cloud Strife 16:13, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I switched my character with one of the green items I had and equipped the Hourglass Staff to one of my heroes. That seemed to have solved it. I can now create an infinite amount of them. --Cloud Strife 16:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You switched a bonus weapon you had equipped with a green? Or do you mean something else? - B e X  [[Image:User BeXoR sig.gif|iawtc]] 16:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Exactly. --Cloud Strife 16:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As I said in my first comment "make sure you aren't holding any of the weapons on your character as those will give you a message saying you already have them" - if you are holding one of the items it counts as having one created. - B e X  [[Image:User BeXoR sig.gif|iawtc]] 16:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I understand what you meant by that now. My character can't equip it and use /bonus. But how was I able to create a second and third while holding it? --Cloud Strife 18:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

connecting game accounts
i have all the guild wars campaigns but i dont know where to connect my players to all campaigns.

Can you please give me the name of the quest needed and location of these quests.


 * From the FAQ:

In order for a character to be able to travel from one campaign to another, the first prerequisite is that the account must have all the proper account keys. In other words, the account keys must be added to or merged into one account.

To transfer a Guild Wars Prophecies character to another campaign:
 * Guild Wars Factions - Acquire and complete the quest Mhenlo's Request, available from Firstwatch Sergio upon arrival in Lion's Arch.
 * Guild Wars Nightfall - Acquire and complete the quest Sunspears in Kryta, available from Lionguard Figo in Lion's Arch.

To transfer a Guild Wars Factions character to another campaign:
 * Guild Wars Prophecies - Acquire and complete the quest Chaos in Kryta, available from Guardsman Chienpo in Kaineng Center.
 * Guild Wars Nightfall - Acquire and complete the quest Sunspears in Cantha, available from Imperial Guardsman Linro in Kaineng Center.

To transfer a Guild Wars Nightfall character to another campaign:
 * Guild Wars Prophecies - Acquire and complete the quest Terror in Tyria, available from Deras Tenderlin in Kamadan, Jewel of Istan.
 * Guild Wars Factions - Acquire and complete the quest Plague in Cantha, available from Funwa Shento in Kamadan, Jewel of Istan.

After the appropriate quest has been completed, the character can freely travel between campaigns using the travel icon on the world map.

Nightfall characters have an additional requirement; they are also required to have completed the Time is Nigh (a primary quest) prior to be offered these above quests.

 * Were you trying to do something radical? Like, a sudden change of camera angle. Things like these causes a frame rate jump. It's not freezing, so don't use the term.  Freezing is something that you can't do anything to the computer until you press the restart button on the computer, and it's a more serious problem. Lightblade 01:18, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

It doest have to do anything with my cam. angle either i think it happens also when i just walk in a explorable area and my hero's stop walking/ following me and i still can go on then.... a few sec later it jumps me back to where my hero's are.its just getting hard to deal with if this keeps happening like 2 or even 3 times in a fight with " monsters" --24.131.36.117 02:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Now this is a better description of the problem. What you are experiencing is what we called rubberbanding.  It's caused by high latency (=.=;).  Are you trying to download or upload anything while playing? Lightblade 03:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

No no downloads no other programs running i never had this problem before it started since monday this week--24.131.36.117 04:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Check your latency. It's displayed as ping when you hover your mouse over the green/yellow/red light in your game interface.  Your average ping shouldn't be more than 500ms.  The pop-up from the mouse hovering also contains an ip-address.  If you still have problem, type: tracert [insert ip-address that you got from mouse hover] in command prompt of windows, and send the result to A.net's tech support.

lag
i have bad lag, and a very bad video card. if i get a better one, will it stop it? i hae dsl
 * No, the term lag have evolved from just referring to low latency to low frame rate. The term is too broad to know what exactly is the problem.  Please use proper grammar and sign your comment, or nobody will take you seriously. Lightblade 01:21, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * See top of page. Lightblade 01:22, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoa there LightBlade, be nice. The anon's comment isn't exactly filled with bad grammar and a lack of signatures don't make people ignore comments.
 * It's not really about the spelling and grammar. It's about the respect that you give people when you write your question neatly and carefully.  It shows that one asking the question cares and whoever is answering should also care. Lightblade 01:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As for lag, you need to explain your "lag" more. Are you getting a bad ping? Or just a "lag" in your graphics during the first battle or two? The former may be a problem with your connection, although GW servers may experience lag depending on the time of day. If it's just the latter, meaning it only occurs during the first fight or so, it's your hardware that needs upgrading if you want to avoid the sudden frame rate drop. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 01:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * For the record, low latency is never considered lag- quite the opposite actually. I'm guessing since he has DSL, he's just getting a crappy frame rate. - elviondale  (tahlk) 01:42, 24 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Long ago, when there was only one Guild Wars game, I had my video card die on me. At the time I didn't have the money to replace it with a card that was as good as the one that died, so I got a budget model that would at least let me use my computer.  When I tried playing Guild Wars I would occasionally get "lag like symptoms" that I at first thought was actual lag.  The whole game would "freeze" for as long as 5 seconds at a time.  When I had the money for a better vid card, I got one, and the "video lag" went away altogether.
 * Note that this was before the little "lag dot" in the bottom right corner of the screen was implemented, and I would assume that you could tell now if what you were encountering was real lag or the "video lag" that I ran into. --Rainith 01:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * See wikipedia article on lag. lag is very broadly defined. It can refer to many things Lightblade 01:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Check my profile. I'm a networking major.  I know what latency is.  High latency is lag :P - elviondale  (tahlk) 02:05, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi i just bought the game today and i'm trying to put in the access key and it give me a code 103 and it is in use already but i just bought the game brand new how can this be?
 * Double check spelling of your key. It has to be perfecty submitted in order for it to work.  If it keeps giving you that message, I suggest you contact Support immediately and report your problem, so they can block the stolen access key holder(after a special investigation process) in which you will likely have to provide PROOF that YOU own that access key, with copies of your official store reciept and the little card with the key number on it.

Abandoned "The Threat Grows"
I got to the Peninsula and was told to fend of the sickened guards. I had some bussiness to do in the monastery however, so I decided to make a quick skip to the monastery and get back later.

When I got at the monastery, the quest was completed without me fending off a single guard! I only needed to get the reward. I decided that I wanted to redo the quest, so I abandoned it. However, I can't get it from anyone again, Not from Togo, not from Ang the Ephemeral, I even redid the Cho Estate mission, all to no avail.

Worse, I can't go on with the main quest, as Sister Tai doesn't offer the next. Is there a solution for this?

145.97.212.110 08:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The NPC who gives The Threat Grows is Soar Honorclaw, who is found in the Tengu village of Aerie in Kinya Province. Sister Tai is the who gives you the reward, not the quest.

Connection problems on Gateway laptop
I just recently bought Guild Wars Factions and am having problems staying connected while playing. I have a ATI Radeon 600X video card (which I know is probably not good enough) but when my game is actually playing it runs fine.

The problem comes about 5 minutes into the game when I get disconnected from the internet. Happens every time. My character just sits there frozen and I can spin her 360 degrees and still change my camera angles. Nothing looks funky on the screen or anything. I just get frozen and then kicked off the internet. So I'm just wondering if the disconnecting is due to the video card or if there may be a problem with the actual internet connection. I'm running on a cable modem.

And also, after it kicks me off I can't get on the interenet unless I restart my computer...

Any thoughts?

Also, my computer is a Gateway laptop... so It's not exactly the easiest thing to update. So any help to resolve this issue without having to get a better graphics card would be awesome.

If i start character in prophecies i can take it over to the factions island (kaineng centre) there's no problem there but is there anyway that i can get it onto the shing jea island (starter island)? I want to do the 15 attribute quests over there.
 * Yes, you can go to Shing Jea. From The Marketplace, you want to exit to Kaineng Docks and talk to First Mate Xiang, who'll take you to Seitung Harbor. It's a quick jog from there to Shing Jea Monastery. However, it's not possible for you to take the 15 attribute point quests there. You can only take the 15 attribute point quests from your home continent: in Prophecies' case Forgotten Wisdom and The Hero's Challenge. - Tanetris 19:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

That said, most programs, Guild Wars included aren't explicitly designed to use all available cores, or even a specific core. Because most programs end up defaulting to Core/CPU1, the other cores sit idle most of the time, and performance is marginal over a single core/cpu computer because everything is still happening on one core. In task manager, the core affinity can be changed so that GW only runs on specific cores/cpus, but this has to be done every time manually the program runs. However, theres a utility supplied on windows discs and downloadable called imagecfg, which puts an affinity mask on an executable, making it run multiprocessor/uniprocessor and specifically setting the core affinity so that it runs on a specific core every single time. But, due to the nature of how it works, imagecfg actually alters the actual executable. My question is, is it acceptable to do this to Guild wars within the EULA? Also, if GW is patched, does it rewrite the exe and thus require imagecfg to be rerun? --Pandya 21:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Eye of the North characters
Will GW:EN have any new characters or will it just have the same old ones?
 * No, you can only create new characters in Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall. -- Gordon Ecker 07:24, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * or if you meant new professions, nope. the 10 existing professions will be the only ones. - Y0_ich_halt [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px]] 12:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Guild Wars Windows Vista Different Shortcut?
When I had first installed Guild Wars on Windows Vista I downloaded the client directly from the official site (www.GuildWars.com). The shortcut that it had placed in Games Explorer was a nifty icon. Unfortunately installing the client from the website left too much that had to be downloaded while playing the game so I chose to uninstall it and reinstall from the retail disc. Now instead of the cool looking shortcut I had I'm left with just the box art. If anyone knows a way to obtain the shortcut made for Windows Vista Game Explorer (or even knows what I'm talking about) please let me know.75.86.176.182 07:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If you know how to change the icon yourself, download this picture and use it if you like. I'm not sure what icon you're talking about, but this is the one I use. - elviondale  (tahlk) 16:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If you'd like to not have to download while playing the game, make a copy of the Guild Wars shortcut (I suggest renaming it "Update Guild Wars"), and add " -image" at the end of the target field after the quotation mark (no quotes, but be sure to include a space). What this will do is download everything there is to download. The first time you run it, do it just before you go to bed and by morning it should have everything, depending on your connection. Then just run the game from your original shortcut, and no more long waits to load zones. You can run the update as often as you like when large game updates come along. Take a look at Command line if I was unclear about anything. - Tanetris 16:53, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

hy
i don`t know i cand use the guild wars card and guild wars fanction on the same mail and i whant 2 make this.i what to have the guild wars fanction cd key on the same mail an acount like guild ward.can u help me?


 * If I understand you correctly, you want to combine Propheciesand Factions on one account? That should be easy to do, if you have a new key. Should you already have used the key to create a seperate account, it can't, obviously, be used by any other account, including any created by you. (THe game wouldn't know who created them).

 * FAQ again. As fora new key, you only get that by buying a new copy of the game. Backsword 16:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

 * You use a type of skill known as a Form. These skills are elites, so you needs to capture them with a Signet of Capture.

In-Game Heroes
I was just wondering how do you change the secondary profession of a hero.
 * take the hero in your party
 * open the Skills and Attributes Panel (by pressing K)
 * select your hero on the top of the panel
 * change the profession in the drop-down box just below.

code 103
I bought GW Eye of the north and when I come to activate the new code I received by email It says : Code already being used (code 103) ????? I bought it and I want to play it and dont want to pay again for this....

Bought it on the online store
 * Don't put your account info here, it doesn't help and it gives it out to total strangers. Try contacting NCSoft support about it. [[Image:User Aiiane-a.gif|Go to Aiiane's Talk page]] (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 15:14, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If it was a used copy then you are out of luck. Since it is against the rules to buy and sale cd keys. If it is from a legit company that was selling it as a new item.  Then i would contact them and see what they can do for you.  Also make sure you are putting the code in the correct way etc...all the numbers and letters correct.  Also may want to try and contact Guildwars support. look on www.guildwars.com for support info--Coridan 15:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Opposition to the King
IN th quest, Opposition to the King, what happens if you do talk to warmaster grast? does he try to kill you? hasd anyone done it? i have checked the page here on the quest, and there's nothing there. if you know the answer, please post it here and there.

prophies and night fall
i bought night fall and my account is on prophies do i need to down load night fall or do i put in the access key for my account?
 * In the future please sign your comments with " ~ " You just need to add the keys to your account, though using the Nightfall discs to install the game should save you time downloading files. There's a button after you log on that should take you to where you add keys. (Edit your account, iirc) Or you can make a new account with the nightfall key, though you'd then have 2 separate accounts, and not 1 with both games linked. 75.146.48.190 22:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

widescreen resolution
I want to know if any widescreen resolution (like 1680x1050) is supported in Guild Wars.

Thanks.

any resolutions should work. the game screen usually adapts itself afaik. (at least it seems to do that in screen mode) - Y0_ich_halt 17:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Guild Wars Eye Of The North
Hi i'm a player of your game and i bought Guild Wars Eye Of The North but i can't do ANYTHING ! So, What I need is :

-Another Guild Wars Game : I got Guild Wars Prophecies (but i haven't completed it all tell me if i need doing that) -All the requirements for the game : I got -Add the access key : done

If there is another requirement please tell.

Must I complete my Guild Wars Prophecies game ? Must I reach level 20 in the game ?

And when you say : Complete version of a Guild Wars campain required what do you mean ? Isn't Guild Wars Prophecies a complete campain ? Is there another game you need ? Please tell.

Answer me at my e-mail PLEASE because it would be ALOT easier for me.

Thanks for answering my questions, (no e-mails addresses here, please. protecting you from spam) - Y0_ich_halt


 * as much as i heard, you need to complete one campaign and GW:EN is the followup afterwards. - Y0_ich_halt [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px]] 19:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * oh, and yes, you have to be lvl 20. - Y0_ich_halt [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px]] 17:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, the level requirement was dropped to 10, and I know I've gotten to EoTN without each character beating the game first. He probably just needs to get to Lion's Arch, and take the right quest to get started. 75.146.48.190 22:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

 * From the desert, there is Elona Reach, Dunes of Despair, and Thirsty River. After you beat those three, you must defeat your doppleganger back at Augury Rock.  Complete the mission The Dragon's Lair after that and you end up in Droknar's Forge. - elviondale  (tahlk) 20:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
