Tips for getting high quality screenshots?
4K screen, using GW Toolbox with the /camera unlock command and /cam speed 99 to go slow, with the interface clean (Control + H) with this settings: https://imgur.com/a/hR5VMx8
Once I have the raw screenshots, I edit them in Photoshop in this order:
- I fix the background light adding +10 points in Blue inside the Color Balance submenu (Control + B).
- I normally add +10 or +20 points in brightness (Image > Adjustments > Brightness) depending the situation.
- I sharp the pictures with 2 options, "Sharpen" or "Unsharp Mask" depending the situation (in the submenu Filter > Sharpen).
- And sometimes: when an image has a lot of light in the raw screenshot, what I do is overlay a copy of the original. On the top layer I keep the modification with increased light, on the bottom layer I keep the original screenshot, and then I delete the remains of burned light from the top layer with the Eraser Tool (setting the Hardness between 0% ~ 20%), so the final photo keeps the augmented clarity but without burned parts.

Another thing that I never saw before was catching the last second of Dhuum's kill before he disappeared. I did a screenshot, and it caught the corpse.
Well the Dhuum's kill is easy to see if you report the bots in Kamadan, I did it a few times and sooner or later it always works, sometimes even after 30 minutes or so if the watchers are online checking the reports.

For example a good friend of mine who indeed owns a few selected uncondis not shown in this thread is not eager on going too public with them as he is afraid of jealousy, people hacking his account(s), people annoying him with dms and messages etc.
It's not like he has to put his name, he can cross it out with a black bar and that's it xD

As i'm a very bad guy, i'm coming to taunt you a little before bedtime
(about 12 hours to go and i'll create this little tutorial on Zehtuka) It's hot to get it back with the character solo and his basic armor at 10/eden lol.This is magnific, I knew that bridge was one of the zones where the item can drop but after dozens of attempts I gave up and bought it.

WTB Communing Staff q9 insc (Conjuring skin)
Communing Staff (conjuring) - Guild Wars Wiki (GWW)wiki.guildwars.com -
I would like to add one more thing.
Everyone here has blood on their hands in this community. Whether it be botting, rmting, buying hacked items, ripping off a returning player or even intentionally ripping off a fellow collector because they know how much they want it.
Anyone who tells you how pure and honest they are is full of shit.
I agree with everything you have said, especially what I have highlighted because it's the pure truth.
Fortunately I have met users in my short stay here who have helped me get items I wanted without trying to scam me and who have actually done me a favor out of real kindness (talking about selling me things for a few ectos, the real price those items always had, instead of acting as Heritage Auctions Emissaries trying to scam and sell a Chitin Fragment or Wood Plank for 999.999.999 armbraces), so there are still good people who know how to distinguish reality from fiction knowing that this is just a fucking game and that if one person helps another person get something they want, we all enjoy the experience. The Zaishen Chest was a good addition to the game because you could drop almost any golden item you wanted including inscriptions of all kinds, so it helped a lot that items with beautiful skin could be obtained for everyone or that a player can upgrade their equipment for many characters without having to return to 2005 farming Minotaurs 24/7/365 to obtain 150g each run after 10 minutes.
But I have also met unfortunate people who really are sons of bitches, in this forum there are some who can be easily distinguished by seeing the way they write and how they think, who are not only botters but also insult you when you can't buy something for sale here while playing normally. If you want to spend 500 USD every month buying armbraces on RMT websites that's your problem, but I'm not going to invest my salary in a dead game to collect virtual objects, that's for sure, so don't come at me as legal when everyone reading you knows that your 30.000 or 50.000 armbraces are pure bullshit impossible to obtain by playing normal. Please, one only has to stand in Kamadan to see when a random character approaches a level 2 or 3 character with basic armor, no secondary profession and random names to know that he has met an agent from one of these RMT websites that is selling them ectos or armbraces or some other shit. It's like doping, you know perfectly well when someone is doping even though they deny it.
I think over all these years if people would have helped eachother alittle more and been a little nicer to eachother it wouldnt have poisoned the well and we would have alot bigger, triving, kinder community.
It's never too late to start being nicer to people though, so thats what ill ask for christmas from all of you instead of an earth shield is just alittle more cooperation, kindess and compassion, irl and in GW.
Maybe in another time this would have been possible, but now there are four cats left playing this, and unfortunately in any game there are always people whose only entertainment is fucking the rest of the players until they are banned out of pure evil. In my case I have tried to help when I could and I have tried to pay for things the price that I believed was correct within a real margin (no, I'm not going to pay 10 ectos for a 15^50 inscription or 500e for a Drago's Flatbow like someone tried once in 2022, GFY).
For example I always wanted to have a set of Dragon Staves for my Elementalist because I like the skin, and in 2006 this was impossible for me for many reasons (age, experience, the districts separated, I didn't know English to communicate with foreign people, etc, etc) but thanks to a person here who kindly sold them all to me for a reasonable price of a few ectos, the last year I was able to get my collection despite not being q9, which doesn't matter to me because I always have the attributes at 20 and in the end the staff damage doesn't matter. This person who already knows who he is will have my eternal gratitude, and so on with some others that I still have on my friends list. Honestly I have never understood how it can be that there are people whose only purpose in a game is to fuck the rest of the players, try to scam, try tricks to take advantage of someone and in general be an imbecile, people like this must be scumbags both in virtual and real life.

I remember that time ago we were talking about Paper Fans but I don't remember if this was asked: has anyone ever seen a Paper Fan (focus) as 20/20 Fire or Air since the release of Factions?

For example I was going to propose to the wiki admin if we could create a section for the pre-nerf greens that Unholy was collecting, because it was a very well documented topic, but in the end I couldn't find a clear way to name the article or how to write it so that allowed as a main entrance, so I gave up the idea.
Something like this has been on my to-do list for a while now. Just...low on the list. I'll get around to it at some point. They're definitely worth putting on the wiki and I can think of a couple ways to display the info. Who's the wiki admin(s) I should talk to about it?
The current one (at least active) is Greener.

Ok, according to the linked topic it would look like this:
QuoteDisplay MoreThe sort answer is this:
Shields/focus in prophies (including TopK/Sorrows Furnace) can drop:
Giant / Charr / Tengu / Troll / Undead / Skele / Dwarves / Plants
Shields/focus in factions (Including Urgoz and Deep) can drop:
Demons / Ogres / Dragons / Plants
UW/FoW:
Undead only
It's a shame not to find a reference on the wiki (unless it exists and i couldn't find it).
Ty!
The wiki, regarding drops and items research, it's still pretty basic. There is no specific section dedicated to this type of things, users normally write these tables of contents in the Talk: section of each weapon or in their user profiles, so it's not visible from the outside and unless you know that someone has that written there, you won't find it.
For example I was going to propose to the wiki admin if we could create a section for the pre-nerf greens that Unholy was collecting, because it was a very well documented topic, but in the end I couldn't find a clear way to name the article or how to write it so that allowed as a main entrance, so I gave up the idea. It should be an article called "Drop by type" or something like that, which would serve as an index for different subsections, but as I say, I don't see a clear way to create it, since if it's done it should be with cells and structure, not as it is in the forum right now in plain text, so it would have to be written from scratch, very time consuming.

was looking for a Desolation Sword hoping that finding at least one would be a miracle in the current status of the game and a charitable soul decided to sell me a complete pack 🤘

I have updated the wiki article with everything I have been able to rescue, but I thought it would also be good to have the photos uploaded here. For the full gallery and info enter inside, I don't want to flood the message with exactly the same thing that it's written once. I thought some of you might like to know what happened to that place.
Ahmtur Arena - Guild Wars Wiki (GWW)wiki.guildwars.comPre-Update (2006 > January 2007)
Post-Update (February 2007 > unknown)
The arena's battlefield was updated after the removal from Random Arenas when it was leaked by mistake back in January 2007. I don't know when because it was a silent update and ArenaNet never said anything about it (except Joe Kimmes comment in 2018, this is all explained in the wiki).
I discovered this in 2023. Well, in fact I discovered this yesterday :V
Everything here looks strange/half loaded because I used the GWMapBrowser which still in early development. In any case giant thanks to the author for the enormous effort he has achieved in creating it a this current level.

Excite Blue the shield from this picture is the Emboldened Carapace Shield from Hagnon Warblade? I've been using it in my character since years ago and I was curious if it's also the same in your case.
