You first need to advance in the storyline to get past that gate. Read here for details. Morgoth Bauglyr 00:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Why do people insist on renaming the links? Something like "See the List of Factions missions" is much clearer than "see here". Biscuits 00:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Missing quest

I accidentally abandoned my primary quest on factions, how do i get it back?

Go through the list of Factions missions and find the one you abandoned. — Galil 07:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

gettign from factions to another area

i have 2 characters in factions that cannot find the quest to get off the island to another area such as kaineng center, lions arch, eotn etc. i have read wiki quest and it says there are 200? quest available. my chara name grandma whacked lvl15 e/r i think talking to first mate xiang in seitubng harbor and when i do nothing? i enjoy gw very much and i know you guys want to make it challenging which peeks our interest that is good. finde this stuff out has become ludicruse(?) spellings off. i would really like to get off the island and on with the adventure. any ideas pls. thank you Richstan1 14:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

From Factions, Kaineng Center offers all the quests needed to visit other campaigns.- Vanguard 14:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

You need to finish the primary quest up until a certain point before you can get off Shing Jea Island. If you just arrived in Seitung Harbor, you need to continue questing until you've completed the Zen Daijun mission, and only then will the quest that leads you to mainland Cantha be available to you. Have you received Looking For Trouble? Completed it? Follow that page to find all the quests that you need to follow (the "followed by" link) to get to the mainland. -- ab.er.rant 14:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Heroes Lvling?

Will a hero lvl up if he/she is on avoid combat mode? In other words, will they gain xp without fighting but in defensive mode? Also, is there a Hero experience bar that you could check and see how far are they away from lvling up? Thank.Azn Hikaru 02:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes (I'm 99% sure), and no. Calor (t) 02:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

any one else knows for sure? -- Azn Hikaru 03:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I keep my Monk heroes on avoid combat all the time, and I've leveled them with no problems. It's the same way that a player can gain EXP without actually attacking a foe; power-leveling wouldn't be so easy if the guy getting leveled needed to help out, eh? Same goes for any person actually playing as a Monk, chances are they won't be "fighting", per say. You simply need to be in the area I think (not sure how big the range is, might be party-wide or radar-range for EXP to count, possibly no range limit for your own heroes). Have your heroes kill a foe and don't help them yourself, and you'll notice you gain EXP when the foe dies; works the same way in reverse as well. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 04:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Hero Armour Display (Hall of Monuments)

I have upgraded some of my hero armour. And of course you cannot put a hero on that fellowship monument until you upgrade their armour. My complaint is that they are not wearing the upgraded armour. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? --Kyleslater 05:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Nope, that's how it works (unfortunately). Perhaps someday they'll add in the upgraded armor sets, even better if they add it as an option (don't hold your breath). But for now, they display with default armor. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 05:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Miniature Asura

Hi! I have a code for "Miniature Asura" from PCmaster magazine and i put it. I follow the instractions but i cant take the quest "Toy's Story". Why?

Thank you!!!

The Toy Story quest is for a different miniature, from what I know. If you entered the code for the Asura, just type "/bonus" in-game to get it, I believe (might be "/special" instead). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 21:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Whichever one of those is correct, should probably be added to Miniature Asura. ;-) Biscuits 21:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Got my Asura quite a while ago, so I don't remember which one it was... I do know it was one of those commands though. Dig around a bit; if it doesn't list the command in the PC Gamer magazine (or PCmaster, wherever you got it), then it should be somewhere else easy to spot... tells you in the chat log I think when you have an unclaimed mini on your account. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 00:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

EotN is an expansion, not a campaign, so there is no such thing as an EotN charatcer. You need to be at least level ten and talk to Len Caldoron in Lion's Arch and take What Lies Beneath, Minister of Maintenance Raiugyon in Kaineng Center and take I Feel the Earth Move Under Cantha's Feet, or talk to Bendah in Kamadan and take Hole of Istan to access Eye of the North.

Sunspear Reputation Points

Are there any guides on farming sunspear points?? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:144.137.70.61 (talk).

Not yet. In Kourna, farming insects in Arkjok Ward outside of Yohlon Haven works well early on. Once you've gotten far enough, one of the fastest ways to farm sunspear points is in by hunting undead in The Sulfurous Wastes in Hard Mode with Junundu, you can also farm Lightbringer points fairly quickly on the same run if someone has the right quest (A Show of Force), and Requiem for a Brain also helps. -- Gordon Ecker 11:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I posted somewhere else my method I used for getting R10 SS. Head north out of Gate of Desolation on hard mode. Get the bounty and head east. Hop in a wurm and kill the mobs on your way north. Eventually you'll start to head east- kill the mob of undead just north of that big mound of safe land, then head south and kill Vahlen and his crew. I had it down to 4 minutes, so it isn't long at all. My description might sound cryptic, but once you get out there, it's pretty easier- you're just doing a 1/4 rotation counter clockwise around that mound (from the 3 oclock position to noon). 4 minutes, 500 points per run (1000 since its 2x this weekend) -elviondale (tahlk) 12:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Best Build for a Warrior/Elementalist-- Why can't you have more than one Elite Skill

→ moved from Help:Ask a wiki question

Any Ideas on what the best build for an allrounder Warrior/Elementalist would be. I am currently running a bleeder warrior set up(Battle Rage is my Eite Skill) with a couple of minor skills like fire ball to do initial long distance damage.

Also if you have a secondary profesion why not allow for one elite skill per profession. Ie in my case one elite warrior skill and one Ele skill.

Sorry to go on here but more skill boxes would also be a great help. I guess this is all part of the game though to ensure that you pick the right skills for the right mission!! (91.194.221.225 13:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC))

Eye Of The North Tech Support Needed....please help?

It sounds like it could be overheating. Check your CPU fan (and graphics card fan if it has one) for dust. -- Gordon Ecker 04:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Also try running memtest86 to check your RAM because that can cause similar issues. --Aspectacle 04:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

For more info check out these from the GW support site

* rebotting

* crashing

If you can't figure it out contact GW support directly and they may have some more ideas for you. I've had similar issues on two different computers so good luck - it can be pretty frustrating to fix. --Aspectacle 04:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

It could also be a corrupted hard drive sector. You can check by scanning the hard drive with the error-checking tool in the hard drive properties window. -- Gordon Ecker 06:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds mostly like the CPU getting overheated. If the GPU gets overheated, you usually only get artifacts. But then again, most computers just turn off completely when the CPU gets too hot. Are you having problems with any other games/applications? Is your CPU/GPU overclocked? Did you try new drivers for the graphics card? I know ATI's drivers used to make me reboot every now and then before. If you've got hardware mixing with sound enabled in the game, did you also try getting new sound drivers? Also check your DirectX version. Outdated DirectX combined with bad graphics card drivers can also cause issues. — Galil 07:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Items disappearing

Hi there

Please can you tell me that if you drop an item because your inventory is full and you intend to go back later to get it will it have disappeared? Is there a certain area where you can do this? Thanks

An exploreable area refreshes every time you go in and out, so it won't be there the next time you go there. I'm not sure if you mean "go back" as in stay the exploreable area and then go back, or go into a town/a new area then go back into the previous one, though.-- Brains12 • Talk • 22:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

If you go through a portal anything you left behind will be gone. But as long as you stay, all items will remain where they are. You can also find merchants/crafters in some areas, so you can sell whatever you don't need and go pick up the rest. --Morgoth Bauglyr 23:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

skills to move faster

what are some good skills for a primary Elementalis that would help me move faster? reccomendations from any profession are welcome as I am Weh No Su. --216.185.204.171 05:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Storm Djinn's Haste, Flame Djinn's Haste, Armor of Mist, all of those are Elementalist skills and provide a sizable speed boost for a nice duration.

For other professions, there's really too many to list here... I don't think GWW has a good list of speed-boosts, but there's one at GuildWiki (link). If you've already got a good eye for useful skills, that's a nice list of everything in the game that boosts speed.

Also, there's a few running builds already up on PvXWiki, most notably an Any/Dervish build, which lets any profession use Dervish skills to run quite well (link). Hope that helps. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 07:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Report. Biscuits 22:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Also keep in mind, "false advertising" isn't necessarily a bannable offense in-game. It's a pretty low move on your "runner's" part, but not actually breaking any rules. Generally, don't ever pay someone for a run before they finish it at least halfway (in the case of a Drok's run, you normally pay at the halfway point, and the rest of the price at the destination). Anyone who asks for the money up-front is generally trying to scam you, or they're just really, really afraid of getting scammed back (it's not uncommon for someone to get a run, reach the destination, and then take off with a shout of "haha, you can't make me pay"). There's a list of common scams and how to avoid them on GuildWiki, I'm sure there's one here too... -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 03:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Why won't Bosses drop Unique items?

I keep killing them, but I've only been able to collect one unique item drop. Playing in normal mode. I found the unique items I wanted at this WIKI, but when I killed the bosses no unique weapons or focus items dropped?--SheIsSoFiery(Warrior/Monk)

~~Oops! I dented your armor! Here let me hammer that out for you. ~Devona(Guildwars Warrior)

Bosses generally have a low drop rate for the unique items, with a few exceptions they don't drop every time. - HeWhoIsPale 16:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Bosses' weapons are supposed to be very rare, so they only drop them very rarely. The only guaranteed way to get the weapon is to either buy it from a player, or farm the boss repeatedly. Also keep in mind that heroes and henchmen take a share in the drops, so if you have any in your party, it may have dropped but a henchman invisibly picked it up. Biscuits 17:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

just a note on your henchies and heros sharing the drops to, even if you send them away it will still take a few trys (took 6 runs to get a totem axe solo and about 9 to get a green offhand i wanted), one tip that might help if you can 1 v 1 the boss, bring your posie with you. And once you reach the boss, clear away his friends (normaly you can carefully pull them). and you send your henchies away till there names are grayed instead of in white, then your getting 100% of the drops at that time(still share gold pick ups) --Sumta 01:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

You're on the wrong wiki for builds. And wikis are all about pages, asking for people not to give you them is like walking into a library and asking for not books. Try www.pvxwiki.com. Biscuits 14:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Consider that the format for builds isn't even close to being finished. Any builds here will most likely either have a specific but common use (55 monk), or be on User pages. Also, since many libraries now have computers, it is my regret to nitpick that analogy. It is like walking into a library without computers and asking if you can use a computer to access wikipedia. The above analogy is more hilarious, though. I really wish people asking for builds would check number 8 on the Please Read list. Chaiyo Kaldor 01:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

GW stops connecting, possibly after update

→ moved from HELP:WIKI

Every so often I encounter a problem with connecting to ArenaNet. The loading bar sits at the begining and doesn't move. ArenaNet.com suggested that sometimes an Internet Protection program's firewall might block the game from running after the game updates, and indeed, it did stop working after it had updated. But since I hadn't been on for a week before it had updated this last time, i do not know if that is the exact reason. Every administrator on the computer can run the game normally, and at times when i have admin rights (to install stuff onto the computer) the game will work, as it has today. But when my account on the computer is reverted back to standard user, it will only be a week or so before it stops working again. I have Windows Vista and Norton 2008. GW.EXE has already been added to the firewall's exception list, as allow all. I'm allowed to play all games up to Mature level, and I do not believe that I have any restrictions in that regard. What might be the cause and how do I prevent it from occuring again?

This is a game question, for one. Wiki questions are for questions about the Wiki. I'll move it.

Now, just to be completely sure, disable your firewall and try to connect again; one problem I used to have with a different firewall was, even though GW.EXE was allowed, if the game tried to look for an update, or another part of the program tried to connect, the firewall would get all up-in-arms and shoot it down.

It also seems that your computer account status has something to do with it; I've got no experience in that regard, having always used Admin-status accounts. Perhaps something in the permissions for the account isn't letting you use the program after a certain amount of time, or maybe it's a part of your firewall still; it could be restricting your connection a bit more then for the admin-status account(s). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 06:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Unlocked Heros?

I went to the preist of Balthazar and bought a ritualist for 6 000 faction, then it said i unlocked him and all and so I tried to add him to my party. I pressed, "Add a Hero" and I saw all my OTHER heros but not Razah. Where is he? -- Ilyvo

Unlocking heroes only unlocks them for PvP characters. To get Razah for a PvE character, you need to do Finding a Purpose (which also unlocks him, if you hadn't already done that). Biscuits 20:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

To do Finding a Purpose, you need to have beaten the Abaddon's Gate mission, which is the end of Nightfall. Calor (t) 20:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Unlocking a hero, or something else by means of the Priest of Balthazar, only makes it available for PvP-only characters. For Roleplaying characters, the skill, hero or item has to be attained normally. -- Brains12 • Talk • 20:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Something is obviously unstable. I would make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics and sound cards (looks like yours are both on-board). Also, make sure you don't have any other dodgy programs running in the background (that could cause a memory leak and hog all your RAM). If that doesn't work, check what BIOS version is on your Motherboard and look up if there are any issues with that. That all being said, this is a general computer issue you'd be much better bringing up on a computing forum than a Guild Wars wiki. ;) Biscuits 01:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Is guild wars PVP only?

From what I read in the FAQ the answeres are vague. A simple yes or no. I do not wnat to play a game where I constantly get ganked by other players. I would like to have the option ti fight other players, but just the options.

There is pvp and pve. Pve is instanced so you don't get random people coming and killing you. Lord of all tyria 15:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello i am Lady of David and i would like to delete that character. she is the one that started the guild. i have other characters in prophies can i use one of them as the leader instead? or do i have to start a guild all over again? Thank you Nancy McGee

As long as those characters are on the same account, as guild status is determined by account rather than characters. Calor (t) 02:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

If you want another character displayed as the leader rather than Lady Of David then that is a touchy thing to do. You will have to promote another person in your guild to leader, then have them promote the character you want to display as leader that way. I would not do this unless you thoroughly trust the person you are promoting. If you delete Lady of David it will still show that Lady Of David is the guild leader, just as before. No change if you delete the character. — Rappy 02:34, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

banned for selling quest items in all chat

i want to know why i got banned for selling a simple quest item in the all chat. most people have the trade chat off so i cant do anything for other people. so i try and make it easier and sell it in the all chat and people can get throught the quests and onto others faster. i like to help people but i cant do it if i get banned for "spamming" thats what she said i was doing. i want to know why i got banned for not spamming. because i was not spamming. my main character name is starr dude. my e-mail is (removed).

First, we are not a-net, so we can do nothing about the ban. Second, posting your e-mail here is bad, and what is bad is not good :).
Jokes aside, you answered your own question. You were banned for "using the all chat channel for selling instead of the trade channel". It has been stated several times that no trade action is allowed on the "all chat" channel, and doing otherwise earns the offender with a temporary ban. Just remember to use the "Trade" channel next time (and no, it does not matter if you just wanted to help, using the all chat for selling/buying can't be done).--Fighterdoken 05:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Keep in mind, if a player has Trade Chat disabled, it's probably because they don't want to buy things. :D The people who can't see your messages are the ones who wouldn't care either way; the people who do see your message, are ones who might actually want what you're selling.

oh and if i bought factions and added its access key, would i still be able to make a prophecies campiagn? and use my characters already made?

The Prophecies map was updated with the EotN map, regardless of whether you have it or not, so that's normal.

If you choose to buy Factions, and added it on to your existing account, you can still make a Prophecies character and use your characters to move in and out of the Factions map/storyline as both campaigns will become merged into one account.

Also note, Core does not mean "the centre of the earth", it means "content that you can access no matter which campaings you have". Biscuits 10:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Central Transfer Chamber, the Glint's challenge is the purple place you call "the core." Renin 10:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Memory leak.

→ moved from Talk:Game updates

I recently updated the game, and all of a sudden after a while the game crashes because of a "out of memory" error. Usually the game only took between 600MB-700MB of ram, but it ate right through my 2GB of ram. Before I even play My ram usage is at 300MB-350MB. Is it just me or does this happen to somebody else as well?

2GB ram here as well on notebook. Average usage I see is mostly between 500-600MB with peaks of up to 700MB sometimes. My current is 532MB. I have no problems with leakage in GW. I do have problems sometimes when I have Firefox running too long, but that most likely is due to the addons in it. If it is a constant problem perhaps contact tech support? -- File:User Clantron sig.gif Clantron 15:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Firefox is pretty bad for memory leaking, without any addons. To the OP: test with minimal programs running and use task manager to identify the culprit. It's probably not GW. Biscuits 15:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I had a similar problem some months ago on my computer. GW used to quit after ~7 hours; when I formatted my computer, the problem was gone. poke | talk 15:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Also- if you're running Vista, that along need a gig to run smoothly. My new laptop came with 1gb, but I had already ordered 2-2GB sticks from Dell for 52$ total (DDR2 667). 4GB with a TL 68 and 8600M GT is the only way to roll. -elviondale (tahlk) 18:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
