Skill bar

How to clear out skill bar in Guild Wars so its empty --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.248.212.3 (talk).

Drag and drop the skills from the skill bar in the Skills and Attributes Panel, which is basically doing the opposite of what you do when you add skills to your skill bar. --Silver Edge 20:22, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Pets in PvP

How do I take my pet into Ft. Aspenwood and the Jade Quary? --Easystreet 02:30, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Some skills function differently in PvP areas. In this case, Comfort Animal and Heal as One don't have the effect of bringing your pet with you when equipped. In PvP you must have Charm Animal on your skillbar.

For a list of skills that function differently, check List of PvP versions of skills. — Poki#3 (talk) 10:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

HoM: acct vs char based

I am, like many, trying to get 30 GW1 points in my HoM before GW2 comes out... I have 28 points on my elementalist character, but just earned an Oppressor weapon with my ritualist. If I dedicate the weapon in HoM to the ritualist - will it increase my points for the elementalist, or not? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beo Elysia (talk) at 11:49, 2012 July 15 (UTC).

Yes it will, because the HoM is account based. You could have 15 separate characters snaffling a weapon each and they'd all count. Same goes for everything else; statues, armors, minis, companions. --snograt 13:25, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Except if repeated. If any other has the same type of weapon dedicated, it won't count. Yoshida Keiji talk 15:00, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Tru, dat. If you have multiple characters, don't get the same displayable weapons (remember, a staff is a staff, regardless of type. Ditto bow, shield, wand and offhand - one of each per account.) Hero armors too - don't upgrade two Dunkoros - give one to Tahlkora instead.--snograt 15:23, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi there ! (Mercenary Hero)

I´m from Germany and my english is not so good. I have some character level 20 and i like play together in one group with. How can i pick up my self made character in in my team/group ? Nice Greetings ! Sven Schilinski --The preceding unsigned comment was added by WilliWollo (talk) at 12:14, 2012 July 20 (UTC).

See Mercenary Hero, but keep in mind that it makes a copy of your character, you can't play with your actual character. -- FreedomBound 12:19, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Nicholas

Will Nicholas the Traveler be collecting any new items, or are old items just going to be recycled? --68.4.6.198 00:20, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

The items and schedule that Nicholas the Traveler collects is fixed and very unlikely to change. -- ab.er.rant 02:38, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. If it wont change, why haven't we set up a list like we have with Nicholas Sanford? --68.4.6.198 20:49, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

The order of Sandford's requests never changes (it's a 52-day cycle that never varies); the order of the Traveler's requests does (it's a 137-week schedule that was randomly scrambled for its second cycle; there's no data on a third cycle, since we aren't even half done with the second). There are several articles dedicated to tracking what remains (see his article for specific links). – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 23:14, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Tracking the Corruption

I failed the Tracking The Corruption quest in HM and Xan Hei was no longer in Xaquang Skyway for me to retry. I couldnt find him anywhere so I abandoned the quest to try and make him reappear in Xaquang Skyway. He didn't.. What should I do?--24.92.211.9 19:47, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

You should return to Xaquang Skyway in hard mode :D (xan hei won't spawn in normal mode after you complete the series in normal mode) File:User Chieftain Alex Chieftain Signature.jpg Chieftain Alex 21:40, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Level 20

What happens after you get to level 20? Is that the end of the game? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 120.28.232.171 (talk • contribs) at 22:49, 6 August 2012 (UTC).

Unlike other MMOs, hitting the level cap isn't something very significant. The speed at which a character hits level 20 depends on the campaign. For the Factions campaign for example, it's easy to hit level 20 before or soon after leaving your starting region. How your character grows is by the acquisition of more skills. And as you progress along the campaign, the mission difficulty goes up. It's more about how you play than how high a level you are. -- ab.er.rant 15:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Sigil

why cant i buy a sigil from the sigil trainer .. he seems to have none to sell to get my guild hall . --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.238.55.142 (talk • contribs) at 04:04, 7 August 2012 (UTC).

You mean when you requested a quote, it says no sigil available? That means there's no one, or very little people, selling sigils. Traders where you have request quotes are based on supply and demand - that is, what they have is determined by how much other players are selling. -- ab.er.rant 15:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Dances

I have seen people dancing with spirits... i am curious as to how that is done... --Arapaho 03:01, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

You're most likely talking about the Assassin and Ritualist bonus dances that were included with the Factions Collectors Edition. The only way to get it is to find an unused copy of the Factions CE. (I imagine that will be very hard if not impossible, and probably expensive.) — Poki#3 (talk) 03:15, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Grand Court of Sebelkeh

Sebelkeh Basilica: Can't seem to find the right mix of spells & weapons to secure the rifts. Are there any special skills that are needed that I may not have, or need to obtain befor I can defeat the characters in this round beneath the temple of Sebelkeh? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.207.23.151 (talk) at 02:43, 2012 August 11 (UTC).

The page you linked This page contains a good strategy, even for a single player using heroes. When you said you can't "secure the rifts", could you be a bit more specific? Which part of the mission are you having trouble with? Closing the rifts? Unable to handle the Blasphemy? Not sure why you're failing the mission? -- ab.er.rant 14:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

That IP didn't create that link. --Silver Edge 04:48, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh. Fixed. -- ab.er.rant 09:22, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Contact Support - expect to be asked for proof of purchase, i.e. serial numbers and character names. --snograt 09:48, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Problem with Wayfarer's Reverie

I'm trying to complete the Wayfarer's Reverie Festival but have come across a problem that is stopping me from completing the quest. The sixth place to visit in Cantha is 'Visit the entombed leviathan in Rhea's Crater' which is in Luxon territory however my character is Kurzick and all ways to this quest seem barred. How can I get into either Leviathan Pits or Aurios Mines to complete this. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jonty1512 (talk) at 17:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC).

Hiya, you will need to do the quest Befriending the Luxons (from Elder Rhea) before you can access the area beyond Gyala Hatchery / Unwaking Waters. Once you've done that, you can either head East from the Harvest Temple, or you can complete the Gyala Hatchery mission and proceed from the Leviathan Pits once the mission is complete.

Checklist of missions and adventures completed.

Because I have played so long I would like to ask why there has never been a checklist of missions etc. that one could use to see if they have missed something in their exploring etc. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mmitch47 (talk) at 03:56, 23 August 2012 (UTC).

Well, if you follow Mission from the front page it will lead you to List of Prophecies missions and primary quests, List of Factions missions and primary quests and all the rest. By the way, please don't forget to sign your comment by using four tildes at the end of your text - like this: ~~~~ --snograt 06:54, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

or if you mean an ingame list, you can use the icons on the world map to tell you which missions you've completed, and also you could perhaps use Hero Handbooks/Dungeon Guides/Mission books to keep track of it.

Quest help from other players.

Can another player help you with a primary mission if they do not have it? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.183.128.52 (talk) at 11:31, 24 August 2012 (UTC).

• If you're talking about quests (green exclamation marks above NPCs) - then anyone can help you if they want to.
• If you're talking about missions (big shield icons visible on the World Map ///) then:
  • Anyone can help you if they can access the outpost in Prophecies, Factions or Eye of the North.
  • But if you're in Nightfall then they must also have completed the quests upto the mission to be able to help. File:User Chieftain Alex Chieftain Signature.jpg Chieftain Alex 11:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Festival quest reward

Now the festival is over and the Festival Organiser Teron is not in Lions Arch will I ever get the reward for completing all the Wayfarer quests? Jay

Nope, you won't ever get the reward. You might as well abandon the quest. 192.168.103.54 09:32, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

So the quests weren't removed from your quest log now that Wayfarer's Reverie has ended? (Usually festival quests are removed when the corresponding festival ends.) If that's the case, you might as well just keep the quests in your quest log and not abandon them since Wayfarer's Reverie could be back again next year as a GW1 in-game celebration of GW2's anniversary. Then you won't have to complete the quest objectives again. --Silver Edge 20:52, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

The Great Northern Wall on a Factions character

How do i get from factions to prophecies ...i want to get to the Northern Wall --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.171.106.134 (talk) at 20:25, 10 September 2012 (UTC).

Firstly, you must make your way to Kaineng Center and get the Chaos in Kryta quest from Guardsman Chienpo - complete this quest to get to Lion's Arch.

Then you must either fight or run to Ascalon City (the start of the prophecies campaign) - follow the map. You can then get to the Great Northern Wall mission by heading northeast within the outpost. 192.168.103.54 09:32, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Wayfarers marks

Where do I get rid of Wayfarers marks--192.168.103.52 17:42, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Drag it to the dustbin and destroy? Are you sure you don't want to hang on to it in case ArenaNet brings the NPC back? -- ab.er.rant 01:40, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Zaishen Keys

Was woundering what happened to the zaishen keys you use to get when you started a new account. When I started my account years ago you talked with a person in the temple and got ( I think 10 keys) for talking to him . Bought our son the complete GW-1 and 2 games and I don't remember how to get the keys anymore . Thanks for your time.72.211.170.50 13:42, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I think it was the Feedback:Game updates/20100219, can't remember for sure...it's been a long time ago feature. Talking to High Priest Zhang would grant an account 50 Tournament Reward Points which could be turned into ZKeys. Yoshida Keiji (talk) 14:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Switching Items between your characters

Does anyone know how to get an item from one character to another character on your account? Thanks in advance! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.120.130.238 (talk) at 15:32, 17 September 2012 (UTC).

Unlike other games, in guild wars you just put the item in your Vault box (Xunlai Chest), and provided you've paid the 50g cost on both characters you can then withdraw the item from your Vault box on your other character :) File:User Chieftain Alex Chieftain Signature.jpg Chieftain Alex 19:00, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
