[edit] Scythe warriors

I've never actually seen one as far as I remember. So is it wise to have a W/D taking advantage of W's high armor and primary attr. while wielding a scythe just as it was a wep preferred to Ws? Basically like a derv w/ higher AL. Appearently it isn't very popular since I found only 3 such builds at PvXwiki. 195.189.142.198 23:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

The majority of the Dervishes' good attack skills require energy, which is something that a Warrior has trouble with. You can probably still get good use out of a Scythe, but you might end up with slightly better damage from an Axe or Sword, due to the faster attacking speed (as well as the adrenaline-powered attack skills).

Bottom line is, it'll work; you'll probably have strong damage output, so long as you use a good balance of Scythe attacks and Strength-attribute Melee attacks. But it's not very popular mainly because it's a simpler matter to use one of the Warrior's primary weapons, and you lose out on the ability to raise your Scythe's attribute beyond 12. Give it a try, and compare it with some of the "normal" builds for Warriors. Find out which one fits your playing style better, you might find yourself doing particularly well with a certain weapon (I play with a Hammer almost exclusively, myself, due to my own playing style). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 02:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think energy would be a problem when using skills like Zealous sweep or Counterattack which gain energy per hit. Then you can afford using high-energy skills (10 energy) like Pious assault or Reap impurities (think I spelled them wrong). Also Wild blow cause massive dmg and works well against Sins and rangers w/ blocking stances (e.g. Flashing blades or Whirling defenses). Overall, I think a Scythe warrior would work better in PvE than in PvP. 195.189.142.172 10:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

If you have any suggestions or thoughts about Scythe Warriors (builds, amrmor, weapon mods etc) please post it on my talk page (User talk:Piippo). --Piippo 16:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 2 elite skills

this one person i that i saw had two elite skills how did it do it--173.25.248.204 02:48, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

See Elite skill, Arcane Mimicry and Signet of Capture.

Help:Editing might be a good reading as well. --NIN37 03:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ritualist Kurzick armor

Does The Ritualist Kurzick armor make you look like you have Black skin because I never seen a White person wearing it?--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:75.2.220.30 (talk).

Yes it is like a tattoo. See This and this for more information. DrogoBoffin 03:24, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

It basically is a tattoo, actually. It's not really a part of the armor, it affects your skin tone -- it replaces the texture used for the body model of the part you're wearing with a black color unavailable during character creation, similar to how necromancer scars function, or male elementalist elite stoneforged. Keep this in mind if you try to combine armors. --Jette 18:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mobile net

Can i play guild wars on mobile net and will it run ok and will it use all my credit--92.41.205.136 10:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm assuming you're talking about an ISP. Without knowing how much "credit" (bandwith limit?) you have available, can't really help, but the lag and latency is likely to be horrible on a cellular ISP. Freedom Bound 11:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Vizunah Square

I was playing my derv and I was doing a Mission called Vizunah Square in Canta. In the Mission I saw another full party other than my own. They were speaking another language and english. We ended up sharing the mission. So when Mhenlo died we all died. I am not sure how this happened. Aren't we supposed to have our own private map? And Why did this happen? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Bnakai067 (talk).

Yes, factions has two dual party missions: Vizunah Square and Unwaking Waters. If there's another party starting the same mission around the same time on the other side, there's a chance you'll get matched up, otherwise you'll get matched up with an all henchman party. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 11:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

In that mission, there are a total of 16 players (2 parties) working together. If Mhenlo or Togo dies both parties fail the mission. You maybe noticed, but your mission outpost is called Vizunah square (foreign quarter) and all non-canthan players start there. All Factions players start from Vizunah square (local quarter) and end up joining the foreign team (your team in this case). If no human players started from the other outpost there will be NPCs instead. Also, if you complete the mission from the foreign quarter you don't have to do it again from the local one. So it's completely normal what happened to you, that's how the mission works. You can also look at the article about the mission if you're still confused. 195.189.143.36 11:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

In the game Bully, level four, how do you destroy the transformer?

Wrong game buddy. Though i think you knew that already. - J.P.Talk 20:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Flameseeker Prophecies

How do you get the Crystal Desert mission entries if you did not have the book in your inventory upon their completion?-- --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:70.196.94.23 (talk).

Do them again. 195.189.142.229 09:58, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

You can go to Gordon Ecker in Lion's Arch, and for a small fee he will white your uncompleted missions into the book. — Poki#3 (talk) 17:36, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dragon Festival

I dont have a Factions copy of my own i was wondering if there is anyway i can get that without having to purchase a copy of Factions i have all other makes (Eye of the North, Prop. and Nightfall) Thanks --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Martinsrutter (talk).

Not that I know of that isn't a violation of the EULA. -- Wyn talk 10:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

The Dragon Festival is a Cantha/Factions holiday. The only way I can think of would be finding a Factions 10 hour trial key, using it on your account, and rushing through to Shing Jea. Should your trial end your character will be teleported back to a valid town. Note that you can only add 1 trial key for each campaign to your account, so if you previously had a factions trial kee there you can't add another one. Also see the FAQ question "How do I bring my foreign character to an earlier area of the game?". — Poki#3 (talk) 17:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Character wouldnt load

I have gotten Nightfall not too long ago and made a dervish. I've just beaten a mission and as I was loading to another area, my character would not load up. I keep trying but he would not load to the in-game screen.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:96.228.167.148 (talk).

Unfortunately this happens to a good number of people. The cause however can vary. When this happens just restart Guild Wars. If it happens quite often then contact support. DrogoBoffin 15:19, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] is it possible ?

can you tame a tiger in post with out bying the pet pack ? what pets /creatures are avail? to tame --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Angel wright (talk).

Try this page: Charmable animal It should tell you what you wish to know. -- Wyn talk 01:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

You need Factions or the unlock pack for tigers. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:43, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm... You don't have to buy the Unlock Pack to unlock pets.

You can use in-game Zaishen Coins + Gold or spend unused Balthazar factions too (unless Zaishen Menagerie does not let allow you to unlock pets from campaigns you do not own; haven't tried this). --NIN37 05:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
