Display MoreSince its an iron and you can't trade, why not lol
Imo, really not worth a ton but possibly good for a hero later?
9% can happen on purples too, so mods aren't max... 9s would be funny with q9
It would be sweet if dmg was 11-21 and q8 with 8/8 for three eights and max post nerf q8 dmg lol
Oh and 88g value.
Thanks for the input! Yeah Going to probably use it for hero yes
Hi there folks!
I just got an interesting drop from my ironman character and I seriously dont know if this weapon is worth anything. Although I cannot trade with anyone so it is pointless to me, however it is by far my most interesting drop this early in the game. Let me know by the comments 
However, I dont quite understund how you farmed that many pcons, where did you farm and do you have tips for solo farming during events? Also I am dreaming about TaO skill, how you obtained it? Thanks in advance!
I started the character at the beginning of the year in prophecies, that way I would be able to be in a position to solo farm important pcons. I love Echovalds, so my favorite solo farm was the dragon moss outside St. Anjeka's. Yes, this is always risky. but as you can see, the risk gave good reward.
The same timing allowed me to obtain the Proofs of Legend required to obtain the PvE anniversary skill during the birthday event.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the Reply, got it. what kind of build did you use to farm Plant Fibers? I was thinking about it on my first ranger, but I did mostly feather farm in shing jea island Curious about plant fiber farm, thanks!
Display MoreJust a quick update:
From the Sweet Treats Week, I was able to solo farm 500 Golden Eggs and Chocolate Bunnies. Then, from the Anniversary Event, I was able to stock up 750 cupcakes, over 250 Honeycombs, and over 20 consets. I also collected 15 Proofs of Triumph to make two "Prominence" swords and one Proof of Legend.
Shown below, I am trying to make an effort to see what builds I can come up with that use two elite skills during the zone I want to vanquish. I typically follow the current Zaishen quests or weekly PvE bonuses. It helps keep things interesting!
Here is another more successful example in Silent Surf from a few weeks ago:
Next, I have adopted some minor tweaks to my Ironman rules:
- I will allow my character to use normal tomes that are found by her, but I will continue to transfer off Elite tomes. Capping the skills is a challenge fit for an ironman.
- Once completing Factions, the only way to obtain certain skills is to purchase them from a skill trainer. Therefore, I have allowed myself to do so.
- I am not allowing myself to purchase Ecto, Shards, Rubies, Sapphires, Diamonds, Onyx, Amber, or Jade from the Rare Material Trader in order to craft Prestige Armor and/or weapons. Simply farming cash to purchase these is not prestigious!
Lastly, it was brought to my attention by PyroLobster that perhaps using skills that were previously unlocked on my account for my heroes skill bars (starting in Nightfall), but not purchased or capped by my iron character herself, would violate the rules.
- I am in agreement that in a perfect scenario the skills would need to be purchased, unlocked, or capped prior to hero use. However I do not feel my use of unlocked skills made a meaningful impact on my success.
- Fortunately, I did not mistakenly use EotN skills (such as Wandering Eye) prior to Nightfall's completion. That would have been a bigger issue.
- It was our conclusion that the only way a person, today, could easily prevent oneself from making this mistake would be to do this challenge on a freshly purchased account with nothing unlocked.
All I can say about this, is learn from my experience and, if it is your intent to have this boundary, not to forget about it. Personally, it was never my intent to need to unlock skills, but merely to succeed by using things in the order they were originally obtained.
Thanks for reading!
Hi Purely,
Your page is inspiring to me once again. I am considering to make an another ranger and I liked it really a lot so far of all classes, and I am really persisent for that 0 death Iron-GWAMM. I was crushed when I died at 2,7k mil XP with my ranger toon. However, I dont quite understund how you farmed that many pcons, where did you farm and do you have tips for solo farming during events? Also I am dreaming about TaO skill, how you obtained it? Thanks in advance!
I saw that, I was thinking about making Ranger again. However I chose Necromancer this time, I dont feel the same love as I did with my ranger, but I guess it will pop up again during my journey. Currently running MM because I dont have much else to go with this early in stage at Prophecies
If you don’t enjoy it get back to ranger !
Use the previous one for farming ;). Rangerway ftw
I tried Necromancer, and I did not feel the love for it. I was just imagining my ranger all the time, haha. Also I started 1 elementalist what that was the same feeling, missed my good progress ranger.
Do you think it would be embarrasing for me to just continue with my ranger and try to hit Ironman GWAMM on it with 1 death? I had already around 2,7mil XP and good progress, I mean it sounds ridiculous to flex " 1 death Ironman-GWAMM ", what do you think?

We will see, I am going for prophecies --> in order, During my progress I will see what I decide it to be, first priority as always is 0 death GWAMM, and after these rules are set to me I will see what to go for.
Send me an invite to the guild Baklawa

UPDATE ON PROGRESS!
Died at Dragon's Lair. Came back from my holiday to do more Hm content and died to something really silly that I did not pay attention to. Unfocused, irresponsible and simply stupidity got me dead, what a shame... But, I am not done yet with my challenge, I will not give up! So I am going to make a new character and here is where you lads need to help me with decisions.
I was thinking about making a Necro and I will start with the correct order prophecies-factions-nightfall-EotN.
So below are questions that I need help with and my goal is 0 Death Ironman-GWAMM
Thanks in advance!
Did not make yet, We will see about that. Maybe when I am trying to finish the last titles
By the way, I am ready for the Together as One skill whenever you are online, although I will be away for almost 1 week, so see you in-game at some point =)
Update on my progress:
I went for the classic 8man team from ToA down to Ascalon. Honestly didn't do it on purpose, I just had a lot of alcoholic beverages and good Drum & Bass music on while wife was away. Seriously... that is required to do long 8 hour vanquish in 1 go 
And the picture on the right explains my mood when she found out my no-life grinding...
I thought also that the charr cannot beat me. Unfortunately for me, wiped my idiotic team. I thought I was a goner but luckily Gwen is my pimp who was the only one that survived. GOTTA HAVE THEM RESS SCROLLS, although I forgot about them
Bested those damn charrs, after a few tries! I am not that easily defeated....
Vanquishing continues.... down 2 bottles of wine, but hey... Couldn't get through without my survival package.
This was a big set back for me, 4-man team and the Storm Riders. BIG NO NO. Went to EotN for some missions and here we go again with another near death experience. Although this picture looked safe, because my first time I did not take screenshot because of the fact that my whole team was dead and I was a second from being rolled over dead. I heard the ball rolling behind me wondering what kind of noise is that, just to see my crew dead flat on the ground. Luckily no beverages this time, otherwise my reaction time would be like my grandmas
And another one of my greatest failures as being a team leader. This was in Reed Bog, seriously dangerous place if you are not on point with your surroundings.... And of course I forgot about my ress scrolls
I changed my hero composition for a semi-Discordway, BUT Without Death Nova because I realised that was the reason Olias got on my nerves. He got invited back due to the fact that I didn't listen to him crying "I can't help it, its that Death Nova triggering me". Happy me happy him. PS, Discord.... is amazing.
Finally to say the least... I bought 2 set Primeval armor, looking slick right? Now some rest for a few days
Hi there =)
Regarding your toolbox/umod on maps, how do you get the mission objectives there, on mine it doesn't show 
Rigor Fantastic to hear!
I try to publish from time to time with more photos and what has happened, titles maxed and so on. I hope this challenge continues to the end, gods speed!
Oh yes of course, I forgot about that one, skip "Save Yourself!"... I use instead Read The Wind =)
Update!
I was in dire need of some cash so I thought to do some feather farming (of course selling everything to trader), did not get as much cash as I thought, maybe like 30k in 1 hour farming, including the runes and items i got
Some of the loot I got that was worth saving, Prodigy's is going for my beloved Norgu, my man! Do not know if any of the weapons are worth anything but any Ironman player can trader me =)
This also dropped for me when I was farming weekly Gifts of the Traveler Sold it to the trader for cash, need to upgrade my heroes!
Everytime I have been outside in a zone/mission I always check what elite skills I can capture so I always bring with me 1 or 2 capture signets. It is going to be worth the time consuming it in the end while doing cartographer/other titles along the way!
This is typical of Olias, arriving to the battle when it has just ended, I "love" MM heroes, espcially Olias since he thinks it is the highest priority to heal the minions and put Death Nova on minions when the team is in deep shit. You have one more warning Olias
Here we go again with Olias minding his own business while we hard working middle-class people trying to make a living, he likes to sit back and watch the show. After this Vanquish I am done with you, I am switching you for Sousuke, I bet he is going to enjoy coming back to my glorious 0 death Ironman-GWAMM.
Bye bye now Olias, do not take this personally, but I think you should return to your old clan The White Mantle where you came from or go back to your Lord of Grenth and give him a kiss from me.
Have to say.... This was really painful to vanquish.... I seriously wandered everywhere for just a mob or 2, 1h30min for this vanquish 
This is it for this session, I hope this motivates anybody also striving for this kind of challenge, nr #1 rule, no death!
Looks interesting, thanks for the input. Maybe I will try the hammer build, I think that looks the most fun. At the moment I have been running this build:
At the moment I have completed all campaigns except EotN, Hero builds are almost complete and good armor runes, been farming feathers for hours grinding. DOne a few bunch of HM content every day, HM missions, Vanquishing, zaishen quests. Currently at 1,8mil XP 0 death
Currently my Hero setup is:
Have been working really well, few changes here and there every now and then
UPDATE!
Next up is completing prophecies and we will see what happens, still going strong, no death yet! 
This was the last time I have my heroes on "attack" mode, Zhed goes AWOL ...
My hero team Comp at the moment, been upgrading time after time spending my money on them! Everything except armor runes, I need to capture the runes to get them... The grind continues!
I got my first ecto from SoS UW farm!! Happy! Selling to rare material trader for some extra cash to my beloved heroes
After NF I wanted to do some Zaishen Vanquish, but it didnt turn out so well... I'm getting back there when I have maintained to get some better hero builds. Although Mages and mesmers are a PAIN during HM!
Some more more ecto farm! Got a nice 3 ectos in 1 run, had some good streaks
Hi!
I am looking for some cool ranger pet builds, preferably with scythe or hammer. But anything is doable, except that I havent reached EotN yet. I am doing 0 death Ironman-GWAMM. Atm I am running Rampage with Scythe but somewhat I cannot get the perfect sync/build
Cheers!
So I finished Factions now as 0 death, it was some though moments but made it! I gave this challenge a thought and made a conclusion to continue in NF campaign instead of Prophecies, due to the fact that this challenge is big for me as 0 death Iron-GWAMM and I need to gear up my new heroes. I finished Factions and I have around 500g on me, full 70AR gear but honestly everything went for skills, and to be thinking about skills for my heroes it is going to cost me a lot, whish me luck!
I really wanted to get my Divine Halo so I did this repeatable quest in LA to get it. It was either this or wait 1 whole year to get it, was not in my rules. But during my progress towards my goals, things can change a little bit
Reached first rank of survivor, small step!
I finally finished Factions. Shiro was harder than I thought so I remade my build according to what I would believe work, I have not researched anything on the internet. I want to see how far I can go with my noob talents. I tried 5 times and on my 6th try I managed to beat him AND get masters! What I realized was that warriors against Shiro is OP because of their special skill they get + empathy
Some drops so far what I gathered, nothing great and really nothing to use except the green bow I got from the amulet after beating Shiro. Happy so far
Happy to have captured Black Moa!
Although hardest of them all was masters in Eternal Grove mission with henchies and alone so I had to start working on my SoS build, even then took me 8 attempts to complete...
So I really want the Divine Halo fo my ranger playing as deathless Ironman character. Is there any way I could do this alone, my ranger is lvl 17 and I dont have the time limit to get proper equipment to farm these... or what I know of.
Any tips from you veteran players regarding getting 100 ccs before my time limit runs out to get the hat?
IGN: Iron Try Hard
Allright thanks for your help and tips. Thanks for the guild invite!
I am doing almost all side quests for XP and gold, Im trying to be extra careful, although I am far away from what you guys achieved, and just started 
About which titles, well I think it will happen during the progress of gameplay. Where I am, what Im doing, situations coming up such in any sort. Many of these below I will just combine with the current style im playing and what I am doing
The Rest I do not know yet. I take it along the way
PyroLobster How about if shit happens and I am in trouble, I could just exit game or transfer to an outpost so I am out of danger, does that work as well? In case I know that I messed up and probably going to end up dead
I have had this account for awhile but almost untouched. Simply because I got the account gifted a while back but haven't had the motivation to start playing again, until I heard about these challenges many people are going for.
Why did I start with this? well... I got inspired by Purely and you PyroLobster ! So I wanted to do something similar. I dont have much free time due to work so I am going to take this slow and steady.
I am going to use storage because I dont have anything on this account, this gives me a little bit of more freedom because im going for deathless mode or AKA Hardcore.
Although this quest was a painful one with huge amount of mobs all around, called The Captured son. My first challenge. (forgot to screenshot the huge amount of mobs needed to be defeated)
Made it to Kaineng City, no death yet but a very very long way to go for DEATHLESS IRON-GWAMM.
I'm going for Ranger, but going to master as many builds as possible!
I started playing again with a brand new account, going for deathless iron-gwamm. Is there any guilds out there I could join?

Hi everybody!
I have been playing on and off GW for 15 years although I have had a 5 year break. Done every sort of thing I could think about during the era when Guild Wars was populated. At this moment my friend gave me as a present GW of all expansions to relive my favourite gaming experience of all time. I have seen these threads about Ironman, Hardcore Ironman, deathless Ironman etc.
SO... I am going to give it a go for Deathless Iron-GWAMM!
I want to take this slow and easy, enjoy the time. Also due to my workload I wont be online except during evenings and weekends after 5pm EET. Also I dont have any of my old friends playing GW anymore, if there are any of you Ironman challengers out there, it would be nice to meet up online or best possible scenario join a guild!
Any questions, comments or tips-and-tricks are more than welcome! My whole idea is to relive the fantastic world of GW and also put on a challenge for myself with deathless Iron-GWAMM, I hope it works out well and I definitely would love some feedback in-game if anyone interested to add or on this thread
