Talk:Signet of Capture
From Guild Wars Wiki
Wouldn't the part about bosses aura colours be more appropriate on a 'Boss' page?
Yea, sounds right to me, should add an internal link on the word "Boss" and leave out the aura part. EatMoreCarbs 14:19, 8 February 2007 (PST)
Isn't the amount of experience based on character level and scaling up to 5,000 at 20?Beppe 15:00, 28 February 2007 (EST)
I just found the answer to my question above. Guess I should check what it says in-game before asking, oh well...Beppe 15:14, 28 February 2007 (EST)

[edit] Bug?
Pix or it didn't happen tbh -Auron 04:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding the "...it's a ring, not a skill..."
Regarding that info there, I recall reading that all skills are in actuality worn rings :p Makes sense, since you don't usually wear rings in your thumbs the number of rings worn equals 8. I recall this reading in the manuscripts. - IH 10:09, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Youre right, all spells and skills are rings, took off the note ~ Kurd

i think the reason for this is that a signet in medieval times was a small ring embossed with the owners family's crest, which would be pressed in hot wax and stamped to be used as a signature. (whoah, never thought that info from social studies would be useful) Mcdertr 02:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 10,000 exp for elite captures
I have noticed several events where elite captures are worth 10,000 exp (for level 20s). Are these "events" spaced at specific intervals or are they set "randomly?"Manos Lijeros 03:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
What you refer to is double exp rewards for elite captures. This is a random weekend event held by ANet like other events where certain points earned towards titles or exp are doubled or even tripled. Zypher Wynn 05:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I think his question was whether those events occur at regular intervals (e.g., every three months) or are random (e.g., whenever Anet decides to have them).
[edit] PvE Only SKill
I noticed that when I try to add more than three SoC's that one gets kicked off because there is a maximum of three PvE only skills. I assume this means that SoC is now categorized as a PvE only skill. May want to add a note of that somewhere here. (No more 8-elite skill bars, damn)
- dont forget elite tomes :D use 8 elite tomes and ya have 8 again :D :D--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:85.146.249.89 (talk).
[edit] Obtaining the Signet
"As a reward for one of the quests Malaquire's Test (Prophecies characters), Minister's Test (Factions characters), or Capturing the Signet of Capture (Nightfall characters)...Only guild hall trainers will sell it to the player until they fulfill one of the above quests."
(First, I'm relatively new to GW and to this wiki, so please go easy on me if I screw up) I don't think the section quoted above is right. At least, it doesn't seem to be in my case. My Nightfall character who has never completed any of the quests listed (nor have any of the other players on my account) was able to purchase the Signet from a skill trainer in Kourna (in or around Sunspear Sanctuary). I used it to cap an elite skill from a boss in Marga Coast, then went back and bought another signet. So is the description wrong or is this a bug (or am I just confused, I suppose)? -- thefount 148.168.127.10 21:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- As well as being able to get it from skill trainers (after a certain area - Yohlon Haven in the case of Nightfall), those quests above can also give it. I'll try and make the article clearer.

The quests are for allowing the guild hall skill trainer to sell it to you, but it has no bearing whatsoever on other skill trainers selling it to you.--Sum Mesmer Guy 11:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] range
So what is the range of this signet? is is within earshot? --demonic barb 07:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Echo
Can you Echo a cap sig? It's not exceptionally useful, but in places like Snake Dance (Marnta Doomspeak and Cry Darkday) or Sunjiang District (mission), where you don't need to move very far to cap several different bosses, would it be possible to echo your cap sig? Was just thinking about it, and there's no real reason why you wouldn't be able to, I don't think.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:FleshAndFaith (talk).
- I don't think you can echo the cap sig. MiraLantis 00:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I just checked, you can't. It's actually listed on Echo at the bottom. MiraLantis 00:44, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] question
if i capture a elite skill using the signet of capture, is it also unlocked for my heroes?? and if it is, even if the skill is not in my hero's primary profeesion, can i still change the heroes secondary profession that matches to the profession of the elite skill and equip onto my hero??
- Yes and yes. Any skills you have unlocked may be used by your heroes, and obtaining a skill with a PvE character unlocks it. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(talk) 04:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Other Notes
"Signet of Capture cannot be used to capture elite skills from some low-level bosses in Istan."
Which bosses? Any bosses on Istan? Bosses that have no elite skill? Bosses whose name includes the letter e?
I've captured Icy Shackles from Lonolun Waterwalker before without any difficulty. So my best guess is that this note refers to the fact that some low-level bosses in Istan do not have elite skills to capture. In which case, the note also applies to bosses in low level areas like Old Ascalon and Sunqua Vale (among other areas), not just Istan.
The other interpretation is that some bosses on Istan have elite skills, but the signet of capture does not allow the character to learn that elite skill -- in which case I'd like examples because I've never seen anything like that. --Nkuvu

it means they dont have elite skills i thinkMcdertr 02:31, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bug with buying from GH
I can get the SoC without finishing the required quest/quests. Is this a bug? --Risus 21:29, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- No --
Wynthyst 21:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- There are no required quests in order to be able to buy Signet of Captures. — ク Eloc 貢 01:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Acquisition
how do you get one?--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:124.183.72.34 (talk).
- Talk to a skill trainer later on in the game or a skill trainer at a guild hall with one. — ク Eloc 貢 23:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Steig does NOT sell these (Camp Rankor)
(heading), happened to all my chars, asked from guildies, happened to them too. Unnoticed bug? 89.138.124.25 15:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
