Update February 13, 2026
60/60 Exploit
We have triggered the code to remove improper upgrades from additional items (Red items and Shields).
So, the problem was that the 60/60 weapons whose skins had been modified after their creation were not deleted (test / return from 2weeks before the deployment of the February 13 update). Is this the case, can anyone confirm it? Is it definitely over (finally)?
Today we are pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the Steam/In-Game store with a 20% sale on upgrade items! If you login via Steam, the store button will take you directly to the store, and any purchases are delivered directly to your account. For email logins, the store button links to the web store. The sale runs from February 12, 10:00 a.m., until February 19th, 10:00 a.m. (All times Pacific.)
We’ve added additional tracking on variations on the so-called “60/60” PVP item exploit; when we’re satisfied with the data we are seeing in terms of effectiveness, we will trigger the code to remove improper upgrades from additional items (Red items and Shields).
"The Riddle of Steel"
ghostly chan / dom / earth q9 inscr can be sold easily 5 to 10a
These are the most sought-after requirements, although Fire remains very rare to drop as well. The others are slightly less common, with some, such as Blood and Water, being more common and much less attractive.
I have sold hundreds of them over the years:
- Ghostly Death: 50e-150e (Like all ghostly staff inscr. it depends a lot on the buyer)
- Storm Bow: 10-15e
- Eternal Bow: 20e
(As with bows, Eternal Shields, sellers tend to inflate the prices of these items, which can also be found in Z chests. For example, Eternal Shields are worth 30-40e, but some sellers offer them at 100e with Str requirement.)
The others, no added value
what would have been the Risk you wished for ?
Some professions deserve an “UP!” more than others. Once again, I appreciate that there has been a minor update to the skills. But I get the impression that the text accompanying the update meant more to say: You wanted it, we did it (albeit timidly), rather than: We studied the meta and balanced the professions most in need of a skill update.
Who knows, maybe a future update will do that.. But I agree, it's even harder to balance a game than to create it.
The new update on skills is absolutely mind-blowing, amazing and refreshes so much more of the Guildwars-fun. I can't believe all this is really happening. New modes, skills, balance patches all for the game I love the most ❤️
Big shout out to A-Net and all people involved making my dreams come true.
PS: haters gonna hate 🐒
For the vote, you should have added a third option, or I'll just click to see the result.
For the third option, I would say that the purpose of updating skills in a video game is to nerf/regulate the current gameplay or to highlight/promote a new one. I'm not against this update, on the contrary, I'm simply pointing out that they didn't take any risks.
60/60 Exploit
A bug in the PvP Equipment panel allowed for non-PvP items to be customized, and in some cases would apply item upgrades that were incompatible with the customized item. This resulted in items being created that couldn't be obtained through natural play (this includes what the community refers to as 60/60 items). This change fixes the bug, and a later update will remove invalid item upgrades from items previously created via the bug.
Bye Bye 
Small Achievement today. Hope i stay alive

Hum, joke, real?
it's real, Jon followed up with that
he's assuming stuff though, so keep your hopes low and your expectations even lower
The topic is closed.
i read the whole wiki article and i was under the impression that you couldn't group with other players aswell but you can, weird ironman mod if you ask me
so yeah it makes sense that people can pick up your stuff if they allow you to be in the same party aswell
In a sense, Reforged mode already excludes content if a character in the group does not have it (Piken Square). If they had done the same thing for Melandru, or other future badges (?), it would become complex and exclude many players from playing together. That's why I don't like the alpha version of Reforged mode.
Display MoreDisplay MoreIt was in relation to gold coins and the Xunlai chest in the January 29 update.
There is no need to leave the instance with the character in Melandru mode; simply leave it on the ground for another player.
In the event that an item drops for another player, if they leave the area or the item is no longer assigned to a player after a certain amount of time, the player in Melandru mode may pick it up.
Edit: And even if material merchants are not available for Melandru mode, it is possible to exchange faction points for Amber Chunks or Jadeite Shards. If you want elite faction armor.
so you can't pick up other stuff people drop on the ground but they can pick up yours ?
Yes. If you read the update, it only specifies:
Specifically, you:
- can't trade with other players,
- can't pick up drops from other players,
Nothing else.
Basically, Melandru's lazy mode:
- AFK 99% of the time while others complete the objectives.
- Need cash? I accompany a player who is farming, they leave the area, and I collect the drops.
It's less glorious when you look at it that way
Does that still work? I think they patched something Melandru related yesterday, im not sure what exactly. Swiitisch you should try that with another Item before you drop your Targe on the ground and leave instance.

One of the sickest drops I've ever got - BUT ITS ON MY MELANDRU'S CHARACTER
the new iron man game mode
you cant trade with other players
Doesn't matter, go to an instanced area and give up the item so another player or secondary account can pick it up.
You can also pick up an item that a monster has left behind for another player if that player leaves the area or if, after a certain amount of time, the item is no longer assigned to them.
Update -- January 29, 2026
- Added additional server checking to prevent transferring gold into or out of account storage when Melandru's Accord is active.
If you don't have a Xunlai Storage account, you can open the chest but not take things/gold from it (e.g. in pre-searing and other locations).
Since you can't unlock the storage account, I suspect you can access the bank but not interact with it? I haven't tested it though.
Yes and no. I can't pick up objects, but I can pick up gold coins and spend them (see 3rd screenshot). In Pre, if you try to pick up gold, it will cause an error 007.
issue with mode: Melandru's Accord. Take money from the xunlai chest with TB++ /xunlai ->
Since the update, badges overlap and are not spaced apart ->
And if you target the player, the badges separate distinctly ->
(Tomorrow, my challenge will be to count my butt hairs).
For information: In Melandru mode, it is impossible to create situations involving restrictions related to this badge. They are blocked. This is a definitive choice for your character.
So, are you ready to re-re-re-do your old-school Ironman, never dead, never caught in the act, which is worth more than half the nail used to forge it?

Today we're introducing another game mode for those of you looking for further challenges in Guild Wars.
After that, I'm willing to do another level 1 with 0 XP Legendary Cartographer of Tyria (100%) with this badge as well, but hey, the third one is going to be tough 
Following this logic, we would therefore have Melandru as a boss, a “plant woman” gender Malenia, Blade of Miquella (?) 
I know she's not a plant woman, but with the flowers and her charisma.
That would mean we would have an elite zone dedicated to Melandru, but without an end boss in FoW? (which is currently the only elite zone without an end boss).
Wait and see..
I don’t care just give me raid boss corrupted plant
Sorry, but it was too tempting.
Please be a new elit area focused on Melandru 👀

Hi,
I don't use TB++ except for the mini map and armory. I'm looking for a way, if there is one, to prevent my heroes from targeting a specific enemy within earshot, but to target (and kill) all the others. Is there a way to do this?
Hello,
I was wondering if, after an update and the IG message telling us to restart the game, there is a time limit that automatically disconnects us?
No max damage (https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Requirement) no slot for inscription -> Mmmeeerrrccchhh
It depends on the person, some people collect unidentified items. Personally, I have already asked for it to be identified, otherwise I refused to buy the item.
Without identifying it, you're missing the fact that it comes with a rounded GV of 200-300-400-500g. This could increase its price.
Reforged brought back lots of players. before that it was much less.
Without being a reference, even though Anet posts messages there, Reddit has gone from around 130k members during the Christmas hype to 73k today. Or maybe it was a large proportion of bots (?)
