finished my last character-based title today
such a clean-valued finish too!

Thanks Blind (for tagging me)!

I agree with the above, 10+ arms
probably auction it, maybe more will be interested

(I'll pass on this one though, only looking for insc shields right now)

First time noticing these gigantic floating pillars in Domain of Secrets

It's incredible that GW can amaze me after 17+ years

They're near the portal to Gate of Madness, if anyone wants to check them out

Hello. These are the builds I use with my fairly new character

Gwen (the usual)

[Build=OQlkAkC8gZezO+EkDmemuhQGAnC]

Ogden (or) Dunkoro (UA is very helpful when anyone dies)

[Build=OwUTMwnC5hhcR6i1j7aLJDs8BA]

Vekk (yes, 1 Searing Flames is not so good, this is just for nostalgia. Feel free to swap to Lightning)

[Build=OgljowMpZO74dBdbsiMoF4iaMA]

Olias (a good mix of offense and defense)

[Build=OAhjYghqIPXzyJGrqKNncDzLGA]

Xandra (also a mix of offense and defense)

[Build=OAOjAyhDJPYTr3ZbzBNdmtkLGA]

Hayda (she is just here to look pretty and shout "Fall back!")

[Build=OQWlIwDbZYaoyIDuA5AcqpLD0y2x]

Livia (the usual)

[Build=OANDUshvSyBUB4BKgbhVVaR3VA]

And, my own build (enjoying a Monk at the moment, still exploiting AP as usual)

[Build=OwcT4UP/RaBaX0mMmUR06LCitBA]

I did have to progress / finish EotN for Livia, Hayda, and some PVE skills

early on, I used a generic Any/Me build with MOX, Kahmu, Tahlkora, or even Koss

[Build=OgWjIwDM7MygLQOAna6GCZgWGA]

Most playthrough seemed easy. Hope you find these useful.

hello friends it's been a while

finished this little collection

one of my favorite shield skins

thanks to everyone who helped

Greetings! Welcome to my humble collection of "X00" items.

(where all things have a gold value of X00)

Why X00? When I see these "hundreds" numbers, I feel a satisfying sense of completion. It feels like the game has somehow saved these item for me to savor at a particular moment when I found it. It somehow reminds me of the many moments when I first completed a campaign or a dungeon, or finally got that title I've been grinding for months. It is the moment when hundreds of trials and errors finally pays off. Guild Wars and the many friends I met in-game have given me countless unique moments to savor. And though most friends I don't meet anymore, I am grateful beyond words. In other words, I just like those numbers. Yeah.

Okay, enough with the sentiments. I love shields, and many of my favorite skins come only in inscribable versions. I wanted to collect them, but in a special way. That's how I started this collection. So without further ado:

Strength Shields

Tactics Shields

Paragon Shields

Razor-sharp Items

Magic-infused Items

Low-requirement Items

May we all find moments to savor.

And yes, everyone else can see it! (it's not just a server-side glitch)

I discovered this a few days ago, and I'm going to tell you how I did it.

Just in case someone wanted to take guesses, I hid the methods in the following:

Have fun! Hope you enjoyed it!

Swords, I've always been fond of them. A beautiful sword is literally the first thing I searched for in this wonderous game.

When I stumbled upon a Long Sword (such beauty I might add), I thought: "Well, this must be the longest sword in the game, right?"

The question has left me wondering ever since.

Which sword is the longest?

Although length is not as important as the sword's overall design (and there is an abundance of well-designed weapons, long or short), I finally did some research, and compared some of the swords I had. I'm sure there are quite a few missing, yet I hope that I've captured at least the few swords that rivals the Long Sword in length.

Now let's feast our eyes on some beautiful swords! The following pictures were captured in the same pose (it's a one-take, with absolutely no character movement) while under the effect of a Ghostly Hero tonic. Therefore the sizes of the swords in these pictures are comparable. The swords are arranged according to the horizontal length from the handle to the tip. Some swords may seem larger due to the curve, or the longer "tails" (the design at the rear of the handle). It took a while comparing them one-on-one, and some of them are really close in terms of length.

(The enormous ones)

(The medium ones)

(The medium-short and cute ones)

So there you have it folks! What do you think? Is the Wyvern Blade the longest of them all? Did I accidentally miss a few very long swords?

As a little bonus, I went to test the length of Turai's Sword compared to the Eternal Blade (standing on the same spot as a Ghostly Hero NPC). Here it is:

And that's all for now. Thanks for reading. I hoped that I at least entertained you.
