Stuck in a corner and cannot move

For solo Luxon FFF, I start from Jade Flats and get the Arena quest. On the way down after talking to Arena Master Portus, I am getting teleported and stuck here in the corner (see picture.) Is there an emote like /relocate to move my character to a legal spot on the map? File:C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\My Documents\My Pictures\Stuck in Arena.jpg

I think it's /stuck --MageUser MageMontu sig.pngMontu 21:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Reporting misconduct

Hello, im a GW player i recently got scammed for 3k on a "supposed" run to chantry of kings (if thats even a real place) and this dude says he will run me there for 3k and then he logged. So my question is how do i report that player or is there a way to get my 3k back. Please Help, Really appreciate it Thanks. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:65.67.113.97 (talk).

Misconduct such as scams can be reported by contacting support. The /report command can also be used, but it only works if the other player's character is still in the same zone. Unfortunately you won't get your cash back. -- Gordon Ecker 08:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
If it needs saying still, never pay for a run until the runner actually takes you there. And, like Gordon said, you won't get your cash back, but you can report that user for scamming. --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 15:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Lol Salome. No use pretending. Support doesn't work yet when there are other players involved. No need to be giving hope. The 3k are lost. It is strongly adviced to still make the report of misconduct though. --Silverleaf User_talk:Silverleaf 18:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Death Magic

moved from Help:Ask a wiki question

How would I get my Death Magic up to 20 or 19? I want to make a level 31 or 32 flesh golem. Please get back to me as soon as possible. --67.182.174.22 20:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Skeith Zero

  • 12 from attributes
  • +1 from headpiece
  • +3 from superior rune
  • +1 from 20% chance for +1 death magic weapon
  • +1 from Grail of Might
The above gets you to 18 death magic. Above that it gets trickier... with things like...

Is there any permenent why to have 20 or 19 death mastery? I have 16 Death mastery form sup rune, head piece and attributes.

define permanent. If you have loads of golden eggs, grails and other such stat raising consumables then yeh there is, by using them. If you mean passive boosts like runes etc... then no. 16 is the highest one can have using passive attribute boosts. -- Salome User salome sig.png 20:52, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

What happends if you use a item but dont meet the requirement

Ok thank you thats what i needed to know so that i wouldnt keep on looking.

By "item" do you mean a weapon/focus/shield-type thing? Basically, if you equip a weapon with a higher req(uirement) than you currently have, then the first line of text in the description (i.e., the damage range for weapons, or the armour for shields, etc.) will not be as effective (the weapon will do less damage than it would if you met the requirement, etc.). All of the other lines of text (mods) will still work, though (i.e., if your shield has a +30 HP or armour vs. fire or something you'll still get those benefits). --Dragon nataku 01:01, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeh if you dont meet the req for the item, the stat line it is in reference to (on weapons and staves thats the dmg range and on focus items thats the energy gain), will be reset to starter lvl ranges -- Salome User salome sig.png 09:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Guild Wars Map

how do i create a PvE map? The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.57.50.144 (talk • contribs) at 23:17, June 16, 2008 (UTC).

Err, you can't create a map? Calor Talk 23:38, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
If you mean create one for your own personal use, as in a .jpg file, you'll have to take screens on the in-game map, then paste them all together using Paint or something. If that's not what you're talking about, then just ignore me. :P --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 03:24, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

changing guild alliance

i started a guild on factions and allied with the luxons is their a way i can change to kurzicks--204.50.37.83 00:06, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk to somebody in House zu Heltzer (called Kurzick Ambassador) to change alliance. You have to pay 500g to do so though, but you can't be in an alliance with other guilds when you do this (I think the exception is if your guild is the leader of the alliance). --Dragon nataku 00:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Is it possible to access House zu Heltzer when being Luxon? I tought not...?--File:User Horsedrowner avatar.jpg horsedrowner 05:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
It is, you just need to get there, not sure if you need the 10.000 kurzick faction before you get there or after.~~Brodly 05:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, you can get there as a Luxon. You just need to pick up the Journey to House zu Heltzer quest from Jamei in Maatu Keep and do that to get to HzH. You only need the 10k Kurz faction if you want to continue with the Kurz storyline after getting to HzH (i.e., doing Befriending the Kurzicks and eventually Eternal Grove mish). If you just want to change faction, you don't need 10k Kurz faction. --Dragon nataku 06:00, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

trouble connecting online

For some reason every time I try and communicate with other players in the game the message "player not connected" is returned, although I can still read other player's messages and I am connected to the internet. Is there some other log-in process I have overlooked? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:99.205.141.44 (talk).

It sounds like the person you're trying to communicate with has set themselves to Offline status in the friends list window. When they do this, they can talk to you all they want, but you cannot send them messages. Which kinda sucks because then you can't tell them that they're set to Offline (some people just forget that they've done this). If you're in the same guild you can tell them via guildchat, or if you know how to contact them outside the game, you can let them know that way, as well. Basically, it's something they've done, not something you have/haven't done. --Dragon nataku 06:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Collector's Edition mini

Recently I saw a collectors edition of "Factions" in store, however the box which looked like all other collector editions made no mention of containing a miniature. Are minis advertised on these editions do all of them come with the code for them?--68.34.199.223 23:15, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

AFAIK, all CE's contain miniatures. However, I may be wrong. Wait for a second answer. Calor Talk 23:25, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
The Factions mini, Kuunavang, was given after the CE was on the shelf, as an apology for the severe shortage of CE Factions. Prophecies had no mini included.--Pyron Sy 23:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

HELP WITH DIRECTX ( anyone that would work with guildwars)

So my computer crashed, and i lost directX (I think).... So i tried downloading versions 8.0 9.0 and 10.0 and several times... but still i cant connect to guild wars because i appparently dont have DirectX... Or i dotn know how to varify it. So i guess what i'm basicly asking is... where can i download a Direnct X that WILL WORK, or how do i varify i have it? Talk to me if i'm not being clear enough... PLEASE HELP!!!!

--Justing 01:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

V8 is windows 2000, V10 is windows vista, and cannot be reinstalled. Run the "test my computer" on the GW login screen. This should help Dominator Matrix 01:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
  1. Click Start, click Run, type dxdiag in the Open box, and then click OK.
  2. In the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, on the System tab, verify that the DirectX version is version 9.0c or later versions.
  3. On the DirectX Files tab, in the Notes box, verify that the text "No problems found" appears. Dominator Matrix 01:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
If that still failes, contact support Dominator Matrix 01:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
I dunno about the later editions of GuildWars, but my original copy of Prophecies comes with install discs, and when you run the Setup option on the disc, it gives you an option to install DirectX 9.0c. So perhaps if you have your GuildWars install discs you too will have this option when you run Setup? Good luck! --Dragon nataku 01:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, all GW setup disks (proph-GWEN) offer that. Dominator Matrix 02:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the DirectX 9.0c setup on the GW discs is a separate setup file. Either way, when you run the normal setup, it will ask you at the end whether you want to install DirectX 9.0c. --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 02:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, when you run Setup on my copy, it gives you a menu where you can choose to install the game, install DirectX 9.0c, or some other stuff (like a GWs video). Then again, I'm talking about the discs that came with the Prophecies pre-order, so perhaps later versions are different. --Dragon nataku 04:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


EDIT: Ok... so i downloaded 9.0 adn it said that it has already been installed but then i tried to run guild wars adn it still said i didnt have it.... but then agian i didnt try to do it from the disc... but anymore help will still be usefull.

Should i uninstall and reinstall the game... also how would i varify that again? --Justing 06:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

If I were you, I would uninstall GuildWars completely, then reinstall. I don't think you'd have to reinstall DirectX again after that... the other problem could be that DirectX is messed up on your computer? --Dragon nataku 06:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


EDIT: O boy also i just looked at it and it said i need an updaited video driver...

Before you keep going, you may want to run an antivirus on your computer. And maybe request help from someone that can actually check the computer. Too many variables for giving a good suggestion here.--Fighterdoken 07:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
just restart your computer thats what i do when I get that message.--話す priestess donut 寄付09:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
The obvious solution is to type in Format C: Note: Do not actually do this!! ^x__x^;;--Dragon nataku 10:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
At this point, what I would do is:
1) Uninstall GW
2) Update your video driver to the most recent version. If you're not sure how to do this, I'd call the manufacturer of your computer/graphics card
3) Restart your computer
4) Reinstall GW, and select the option to install DirectX 9.0c
If that doesn't work, it's likely that you have yourself a virus. :,( --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 20:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: well i think the only thing i can do now is get a new computer... to bad i'm broke :(


WEll thanks you guys maybe ill figure somthing out...

Actually, you may not have to get a new one, especially if the problem is just either an outdated driver or even a virus. Often enough, a lot of the companies who make video cards have websites, and have the drivers for them on their sites somewhere. Just Google your video card or something. And if you have a virus that your antivirus can't get rid of, you can always just reformat your hard drive. Sure, you'll lose all of your files, but you'll also get rid of the virus without having to buy a new computer. --Dragon nataku 17:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: How do u know what your video card is? I'm not THAT great with computers i jsut know how to use them... not there parts... I'm sry i dont want to sound like a jerk i just LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH AND I'M CRUSHED THAT I CANT PLAY IT :(

Umm, I usually right-click my desktop and hit R (for Properties) then go to Settings and it tells me where it says Display. You can also go here and run the GWs test and it will tell you what vid card you have after the test finishes. Or should. Good luck! --Dragon nataku 23:13, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: All it says is default monitor on... what does that mean? ill trouble shoot it... see what happens

Try the website I linked to? It should tell you what card you have in the relevant section after you run the test. --Dragon nataku 04:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


EDIT: OMG that link helped so much, it says i passed everything except for my video card because i dont have one... i can just download it i think then ill be able to play!!!!!1

Ummmm... you don't have a video card? At all? ^O__o^ Did you or someone other than a computer company build your computer, and/or did you buy a used and stripped computer? Cause... I've never actually heard of a computer with no video card whatsoever. ^O__o^ Even mine has one (albeit an uber-crappy one). If you have no video card, you will have to buy one, as it is a physical thing, like a hard drive or motherboard, not software you can just download/install. If what you are missing is, in fact, drivers for your video card, then you can probably download those online. Perhaps when your computer crashed, it deleted all of the files for your vid card and therefore your computer no longer recognizes it is there? --Dragon nataku 03:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: well on the can you run it thing, it had a question mark, for that so i thought it meant thta i didnt have one, but i had one before, i think i lost the files, so how do u know which files to dowload?

Ah... I find it tedious to communicate this way... anyway. I suspect that when your computer crashed, all of your stuff got deleted, including files for your hardware (like your video card). When you reinstall Windows (I assume that's what you're using), it will install a bunch of basic files. You should have another disc that came with your computer that probably has a name that includes "Service Pack 2" or something on it. This disc will allow you to reinstall the files needed for your hardware (like your video card). The name of the disc changes based on who made your computer (Compaq, Dell, whatever), but if you look through all of your discs that came with your computer, one should say "to be used for recovery" or something on it. --Dragon nataku 22:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

well i dotn think i know where that disc is, do u know where the video card is oon a windos (xp) i think. or what driver to download?

I'm not quite sure downloading drivers for it will help if all of the files for it have been deleted. And I can't tell you which drivers to download anyway if I don't know which video card you have (different brands, and even different cards from the same brand have different drivers). I think your best bet would be to contact tech support of the company who built your computer and tell them that your computer crashed and the files for your video card got deleted. They should be able to help you more than I can. --Dragon nataku 23:20, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

hmmm........ do u know what i'm going to do, i'm going to go out and buy a video card... just the one thats required.... i think that will be the end of my problem.... :D but stay tuned becasue somthing might show up.

Video cards can be expensive. If your computer is under warranty, the people who made it could fix it for free. But hey, whatever floats your boat, man. --Dragon nataku 02:32, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Do me a favor...go to Start Menu -> Run... -> and type in dxdiag . Click the "Display" tab, and let us know if anything is listed next to the "Name", "Manufacturer", "Chip Type", and "Main Driver" headings. --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 17:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Miniature Burning Titan and Miniature Kuunavang? Calor Talk 15:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
I think he means that it's multiple characters that look alike that are sitting around and they all have the same pet and are in the same guild. This has been known to happen a lot in pre-searing. It's not all that hard to make your character look exactly like another character and have a similar name, especially in pre-searing where there are limited armour choices. --Dragon nataku 18:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Certain quests are only available to characters native to that land. Play through Prophecies a bit and you should find the quests. Calor Talk 20:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Non Prophecies characters can only get quests beginning in Lion's Arch with the exception of Malaquire's Test and then continuing forward in the game. --Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 23:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
From what I remember, most of the quests starting in Lion's Arch and onwards are available to foreign characters (i.e., chars from Factions or Nightfall). The only "important" quest I can think of in Lion's that isn't available to foreign characters are the ones to get the Signet of Capture from Magi Malaquire. Things like Villany of galrath and Report to the White Mantle are available, though (the second one being a primary quest to continue the Prophecies storyline).

no voice in some factions cutscenes

Why is there no voice in some factions cutscenes? For example, when starting a newly created factions PVE character, there is a cutscene taht play with the begining of the story. There is only text at the botom of the screen that tells you, but no voice-over reading the text. Same goes for when you start an AB in pvp. But i hear voice in other campaignes like prophecies and nightfall and some in factions. Do I have an incomplete install of factions? do i need to reinstall? Thanks.

--RothShar M 02:34, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

No, that's simply game design. Calor Talk 02:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, we thought that was wierd there too. I think we figured that the obvious narrator for it would have been Master Togo, who is standing right there and being talked about, so having him do it would have been awkward. IMO they should have made the Emporer or Kuunavang do it, but IDK if either of them have voices as of yet or what they are. (Also, keep forgetting Kunnie's a girl. Hm. That makes all the good dragons girls. Hm.) --Star Weaver 15:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

If this is your first time using the game (and/or just re-installed the game), after choosing a character and logging in, you will probably have to wait a rather long time for the game to download more files. Patience, grasshopper, once the files have downloaded you'll be able to play to your heart's content. Barring a zombie invasion or something, of course. --Dragon nataku 17:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Punch the Clown

I'm having trouble with that quest. I can't seem to deal much damage... How long should defeating one Norn Brawler take? And does anyone have some hints for me on how to do this? --File:User Horsedrowner avatar.jpg horsedrowner 07:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

When I do it, it maybe takes ~10 seconds per brawler. (I'm not that good, but I've done it enough) The best hint that I can give you is, when you get knocked down, it's a LOT easier to stand back up if you alternate clicking the "Stand Up" skill and pressing 8 on your keyboard. That makes your energy go up twice as fast. Also, when you're attacking 2 or 3 of the brawlers at once, make sure to focus on one...once you knock them out, your health goes back up, and you can move on to the next. Hope that helps. --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 14:24, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Guildwars 2 on playstation3

moved from ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions

I was just wondering if Guildwars 2 is cmoing to ps3..it would be fun pc and ps3 people playing on the same server and ps3 has some quite amazing graphics proccessor..so it would be really fun to see GW2 in the ps3..anyone have any iformation on that...by the way i onw GW and ps3 :DUser:actionpri12

There haven't been any official statements about GW2 on any console. -- Gordon Ecker 01:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
I personally doubt that GW2 or any future GW will ever come to console. its just not possible... you would have to use your controller as a mouse... That would be real painful to have to do. Subzero Ray 04:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Question never answered  :(

I asked the question #29 on the May 15-30 section.

I then recieved a reply from a "helper", to which I made a response debunking the solution. There was no further follow up. I was wondering what the status is.???

Regarding Whirlwind Attack and scythes, I don't see any inconsistancy. Whirlwind Attack attacks the target foe and all adjacent foes once, scythes have a property which allow them to hit up to 2 additional foes. -- Gordon Ecker 04:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
translation (assuming feel free to edit) end result target hit once, everyone adj to him hit once. 2 targets adj get hit twice.--67.193.225.210 07:43, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
What? That's not what I'm saying and that's not how it works. Scythes have a property which makes up to 2 additional foes within range targets for attacks made with it. Whirlwind Attack targets the target foe and all adjacent foes. Both effects modify the number of targets, neither effect modifies the number of attacks per target. -- Gordon Ecker 08:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
So whats the deal??? Say I have 5 foes adjacent to me... the end result is it only pops up 5 dmg numbers. Shouldn't it pop up at least 7, 5 +2(due to weilding a scythe)? If not 15 since Whirlwind reads like it attacks each foe? Or does using Whirlwind Attack temporarily remove the Scythe's ability to hit more that one foe at a time? 98.105.248.32 18:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)White Tadpoless98.105.248.32 18:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
I think what you're missing is that Whirlwind Attack is an attack in and of itself, it's not added to your next normal attack. It's just like Cyclone axe, triple chop, hundred blades etc. The property of the scythe being able to hit up to 3 adjacent targets is overridden by the skill - which hits all adjacent enemies.75.146.48.190 21:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

changing secondary profession to one from a different campaign

According to the Wiki, if u have more than one campaign, a character created in one campaign will have access to professions from the other campaign as their secondary profession. I have all three campaigns, but when i was choosing a secondary profession for my nightfall character, only nightfall professions were offered. How would i change my secondary profession to one from factions?--68.21.0.111 16:42, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Go to a profession changer in another campaign, or go to the one in the Great Temple of Balthazar who will give you any profession allowed on the account. --Star Weaver 16:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) One of two ways:
A) Get to Senji's Corner and talk to the Profession Changer there
B) Become Ascended, Weh no Su, or complete Hunted!, then go to Great Temple of Balthazar and talk to the profession changer there.
Calor Talk 16:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
(Edit Conflicts OMG)Ooh, yeah. You won't be able to get it until you can campaign travel and are ascended/whatever. I think even (A) requries the ascenction foo. --Star Weaver 17:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) And last I checked, Assassin and Ritualist were options from the profession changer in Command Post (after completing Hunted!, of course). All profession changers should offer all professions, no matter the campaign. But the secondary you choose when you start the game is restricted to that specific campaign. --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 17:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

missing rune

I notice that there is a missing rune from the rune trader. Assassin Rune of Superior Shadow Arts. Why are all other professions able to buy all their superior attribute runes, but not Sins? The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.200.116.133 (talk • contribs) at 14:11, June 23, 2008 (UTC).

It's just because they're out of all of them (and sometimes majors too) because everyone and their dog hero is using perma-shadow-form stuff lately. The traders don't list things that they have zero of, apparently.
They will reappear at the rune trader as soon as players are not willing to pay high prices for them, and people start selling them back to the rune trader again. --Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 18:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

The Rune Trader has done this to me rather often with minor vigor runes. I never fully understood why. The trader will sometimes buy the same rune from me at a different point in time, but most of the time refuse. I always hypothesized that it was because it was "too expensive" (1k at that time, seems a bit odd to call that "expensive"), but I never tried it with other runes around or above that price. The Rune Trader article states: "or they may not buy a particular rune." --Dragon nataku 03:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
It all has to do with his supply of them. If he has X number... and I can't tell you what the cap is, he will refuse to buy more.--Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 04:06, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I've been using Expert Focus with 15 in expertise: Preparation. For 24 seconds, your bow attacks cost 2 less Energy and deal 10 extra damage. Expertise should reduce energy cost: 15*4%=60%, if a shot costed 10 now it should cost 4, 4-2(expert focus)=2, but it costs 3:

Energy cost

If you need to figure out which drivers to download, go to Start Menu -> Run... -> and type in dxdiag . That will bring up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Click on the "Display" tab, and it should bring up a window stating the Name, Manufacturer, and Chip Type. Whatever is listed next to "Manufacturer" is the company that makes your card. Go to their website (Google it), and go to their downloads/drivers section. It'll probably ask you what model your card is...that's listed in the DirectX window next to "Chip Type". Then, download the driver, and follow the insructions on the website on how to manually install their drivers (it's probably just as simple as running a setup file). Hope that helps. --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 17:14, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
I hope you guys realize that this is the same guy from the "HELP WITH DIRECTX" topic further up the page. To recap for lazy people who do not want to go read the insanely long topic, his computer crashed. I had him run that "Can you run it?" test for GuildWars, and under the video card section it came up a huge question mark. I have concluded that when his computer crashed, the files for his vid card were erased, and as he cannot find his recovery disc, his computer apparently no longer recognizes that he does, in fact, have a video card. So I'm not sure running dxdiag will help much. I told him to contact his computer's manufacturer's tech support as they are better equipped to help in this situation than we are. --Dragon nataku 17:46, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I believe to put an armor set in the Hall of Monuments, all the pieces except the headpiece need to be from the same set of armor. But besides that, it's all the same. You don't take more or less damage or get some special inherent benefit from the gloves. Calor Talk 15:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't you also need the headpiece of the accordant armor in order to be able to show it in your hom if there exists one? —ZerphatalkThe Improver 15:28, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes. But, if they set doesn't require any specific helm (any Elementalist armor, for isntance), then obviously you don't need one to put it in HoM. --User Tero Gein sig.jpg TERO talk 19:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Aaaaaaaaactually..... I bought warrior Canthan 15k for my war, but thought the helm was stupid, so didn't get it. But I could still display the entire set (including the helm I never bought) in my war's HoM. Also, I bought ritualist FoW for my rit, but also thought that hat was stupid (I don't need handlebars on my head!), but her HoM still shows the full armour set, including the stupid handlebars I never bought. --Dragon nataku 20:27, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
No, you don't need the entire set. If you want to mix and match armor pieces that you like, go ahead. This game isn't WoW, where you get a certain bonus if you have all the armor from a certain set. The only thing that might be affected, as previously stated, is that you won't be able to put the set into your Hall of Monuments. --Shinigami KingUser Master Fast sig-icon.png 21:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
And, if you're worried about HoM, either:
  • Complete one set, HoM it, get parts you want from second set, wear the combo you want, eventually finish second set and HoM it too.
  • Get the mixed set you want, then fill in the rest of the pieces until you have two full sets to dedicate.
If you want to mix with a non-elite set, the relative cheapness of the latter will help a great deal too. :) --Star Weaver 22:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
I believe to display in the HOM you have to have the core pieces.--Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 22:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Thank you all! :) I only played with my nec in eotn yet, and as i only owned prophecies armors, which regrettably don't have headpieces, i didn't know whether the piece was required or not. :P So showing the set in the hom theoretically only requires four (of possibly five pieces)...that's actually worth a note in the "Resilience" (btw, just noticed my question was actually answered there :P but i'll complete it with nataku's comment :>) —ZerphatalkThe Improver 15:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Games Suggestions

My first question is where to make suggestions for improving GW? I spent 10 minutes looking and this is the closest thing I could find.

Suggestion 1: Allow members of a guild to view the members of allied guilds (similar to the Guild (G) window). My guild is allied with two others. The friends list is nice, but I can't tell who is from each guild.

Suggestion 2: Allow the user to add a nickname next to each friend they add to the friends list. I just can't memorize which friends go with which character names.

Suggestion 3: Allow the Guild Merchant (and possibly other guild vendors) to retain items sold to them for resale to other guild members. This would facilitate trading amongst guild members. Caveats: a) the Merchant would mark up the price. b) There would be a either a time or item limit on items the merchant would keep before tossing items as unsellable. c) Perhaps the merchant would only do this for Gold or Green items.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for these suggestions, but I didn't know where else to put them.

ArenaNet:Portal is where you can find a lot of the suggestions, and it's in the navigation bar to the left under Arenanet interaction. Also, none of these are really considered forums, more like just discussion. I'd be hard pressed to know the difference, though. --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 20:17, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
