here a new min

“Here’s a new low” is what you meant I think. Imagine using your phone to make a photo of your screen in 2025 🙃

At least you wouldn't see the dust on the screen. Now we know that Red Fireball isn't obsessed with tidiness (and that he's probably a male human).

Since the compiler update for TB++ (Visual Studio 2022 - 64-bit) with version 6.24 and later versions, no functions related to the .dll file from previous versions can work. This logically includes the ID Dialog function, linked to the .dll file up to version 5.14. You can develop a plugin if you feel like it.

I've never needed to record a speed clear, though isn't that OBS Studio?

Unfortunately the single mod kills it. I would merch

Yeap, one mod only, not prenerf, direct merch.

Quote from Blink316

there was a site back in like 2005-2006 that had auctions on it like ebay, the name of it escapes me in my old age lol. you could bid on things and have reserves n stuff

There used to be a website called Guild Wars Shop (gwshop.net), a french/english site that allowed auctions with a ceiling price or direct sales. It was then up to the players to make the exchange in-game. (Now, if you search for that name, you'll probably come across a real money trading site). This would require quite a lot of groundwork for GW Legacy.

Although it's in-game that a trading post would be needed (Embark Beach?). We could even go further and say that, ultimately, if Arena has created a way to use real money to obtain gems to get gold in GW2, they could do the same for GW1 (merging the shops?). This would bypass some of the real-money trading sites.

I know, I'm under no illusions..

Quote from Agent Chevy

It's too bad this only counts high-end chests

The subject should be renamed: How many chests have you accounted for in the title?

But I think he's far from being the first with this title on Reddit or here to make the same mistake, because it's impossible to know how many were opened outside of the title.

Answers dont mention tact if i see right

Your question does not mention it

Quote from manuS

blue q8t insc shadow shield and ethernal dont exist right?

The answer for tactic requirement is no, this requirement only drops from end-of-area chests or Z chest (gold version). This requirement was added after the release of Prophecy. As I pointed out above, the drops have not been updated for some monsters, which allows for low requirements in blue or purple on NF. By deduction, the tactical requirement does not exist for this.

They do

If he read the answers, he would already know.

More specifically, inscribable versions of items that are normally non-writable are writable due to oversights on the part of the game designers. For some monsters these, the drop updates have not been updated. This is normally the case when a monster is integrated into a campaign other than the one it originated from. It is the instanced area, linked to the campaign, that will determine whether or not objects are inscribable.

Also this was the case for the 2010 Halloween mausoleum quest. The instanced area was defined as part of a campaign where only non-inscribable drops could be obtained. However, monsters could drop non-inscribable spears and scythes. These monsters were also linked to the NF campaign in terms of drops and normally only drop inscribable items. This also caused a bug with items with an additional bonus. Unfortunately, this is not the case for inscribable weapons of NF.

For example:

• Terrorweb Dryder in NF/Realm of Torment = Eternal Shield, Eternal Bow, Storm Bow, and Ghostly Staff.
• Original Prophecy Titans, but found in NF/Realm of Torment = Magma Shield (see other?).
• Obsidian Furnace Drake at NF/quest: Drakes on the Plain = Shadow Shield (see other?).

Note: Just like the non-inscribable blue Eternal Shields, the inscribable 8/15 and 8/16 versions rarely come with a inscribable slot, unfortunately.

Quote from Elite Trader D

How did you eventually get this to clear if you did? Full restart or something else?

Yes, I solved it.

First, I copied the files again from programs x86 in the original installation, the one for my main account, which wasn't buggy, to the folder for my second account.

Same thing So at this point, we already know that it's not a hardware issue.

I noticed that when I log in for the first time on a character from the second account, after (re)launching the game, this bug occurs once I select a mercenary hero from the group. It crashes and then spreads like a virus to my non-mercenary heroes.

In short, I wanted to delete all the mercenaries on the main character of the secondary account. Before when I remove the runes from these mercenaries, the icons return to normal (but not overall, just when I do it...). I removed all the runes and weapons from all the mercenaries. Then I quit (restarted the game or the character) and nothing happened, not bug. You have to do this for each character with all these mercenaries, just in case. Then, after seeing that it worked and that I couldn't find the bug, I re-equipped everything. Everything is working normally again.

My theory?

I have sometimes changed the names and appearances of mercenaries without deleting them. Let me explain... I have a mercenary in slot 3 with the NPC [Mercenary Registrar]. I create a PvP character with the same profession as the one I'm going to delete in order to change its appearance and name. So I delete the mercenary from slot 3 and replace it with the one I created. Since it has the same profession, there's no need to remove the runes and weapons. I think the game misinterpreted this at some point.

Or not In any case, removing the runes and weapons from all mercenary heroes, logging out, then re-equipping everything works.

While I was away, I think my heroes were having orgies..  (At the same time, by forcing them to stockpile mountains of alcohol consumables and processing tonics...)

(I didn't have TB++ or any other third-party software open at the time).

Edit:

Hi,

Today I would like to expand my tutorial mentioned in my signature. To do so, I am looking for some information. Perhaps you can help me with this (it takes a long time to search through the guru archives and wiki update notes).

I am looking for:

• The date of the update that fixed the guild hall bug, if it exists... Or at least the dates that determine the start and end of this exploit/bug.

  
  

• The date of the update that ended the exploit/bug, which allowed the group leader to disband the group during the countdown before a group entered an instanced area, and then each member of the group could invite players who were not eligible for the instanced area before the countdown ended. Then, the entire group, as well as the ineligible guests, would all find themselves in the instanced zone at the end of the countdown. Or at least the dates that determine the start and end of this exploit/bug. I just remember doing an Urgoz at over 30 one weekend, before an update on Monday prevented it.

You can PM me if you have this information, thank you!

Quote from Carpaccio

Wait until you hear my most controversial idea - wipe the server clean and have everyone start from scratch.. same level of arms, no pre-nerfs, giving new players and equal opportunity to catch up to legacy players that have xxxxx arms stashed and just hang out in Kama.

It's pointless. It won't stop bots from continuing to do their work. (By the way, no anti-cheat system in a video game works properly without employees to enforce and update it. So on GW1, you can forget about that).

Quote from CrazeyCrazed

I'm amazed and grateful that the game is still up and running after all these years, that's my main thought about the state.

That's the important thing to remember. You're lucky that the servers are still open. Other online games have shut down for less. Play while you can. If you want to complain afterwards, you're free to do so, but it won't change the state of the servers. Be happy that you got to play it in your lifetime. Everything comes to an end (even if sometimes it's a long, drawn-out agony).

PSA: make doubly sure you're using the correct salvage kit

Update 19.08.2025:

• Clarification in some sections (A2-A3-A6-B1-C3) regarding the verification of your character's eligibility (rights) by the game server.

Blue, without inscription or a base, it's worthless to me.

Quote from Bro

Hey, hi 😊 is it a Focus Item or a Weapon?

I think the Fan of Purity is Special in that way, because it's a Wand, only in Gold rarity.

Weapons from Winds of Change that can be exchanged for 15 Ministerial Commendations called Purity weapons, including Fan of Purity, which requires Domination, in the form of a wand (with the skin: Paper Fan, which is normally an existing focus skin), are only purple; there is no gold equivalent.

Talk to: Iza Yoi in Kaineng to see the list ->

296 gold.

(No second bonus = merchant)

My gut feeling tells me that this won't be enough.. in light of today's new posts.

Quote from Hate Core

Going to buy a lottery ticket.

Too late, the chance was used during the GW drops.

Hello,

In short, it boils down to finishing the campaigns. Assassin would be the profession of choice, but given the lack of difficulty in NM and the number of hours difference that this will make, other professions could also be chosen. It should be noted that the heroes who accompany him, the builds, i.e. the skills unlocked, and even the mercenary heroes unlocked or not, will make a noticeable difference.

It would be easier to run a character from your new account with an account that is already complete or semi-complete.

The time invested in selling it won't be worth it -> merch
