    Greetings!

    My main IGN is Alvs Zelkas, hence the title not matching my handle here. :p

    I'm addicted to popping IMS cons literally everywhere because the base movement speed is too damn slow and my heroes don't yell at me enough. Sadly, this is an expensive disorder and I need to support it, otherwise my growing mini Eye of Janthir collection will starve (do you even know what they eat?)

    So, I'm offering commissioned outpost runs/tours and prescheduled rushes. Current offerings and variations are organized below by campaign with prices and (pessimistic) time estimates. You can DM me here on GWLegacy, on Discord (see signature), or send me a tell in-game if you're interested in something below.

    Next Scheduled Nightfall rush: Saturday, 7 June @ 1200 (UTC-5)

    5 slots left

    1000e/slot

    10% off if you fill at least two slots

    Inquire by DM if you would like to schedule a Nightfall rush outside this time.

    6/3/2025: New Rush Options Added

    Istan Native Rush -- new Nightfall toon, but you hate playing Kormir's Yapping Simulator the Istan questline as much as everyone else? Need to get a toon ready with ascension, attribute quests, and around level 15 in about two hours instead of waiting on some rando from Kamadan to fumble their way from LA to the Desert just so you can then spend even more time wandering around doing attribute quests that were tedious back in 2005? Good news! I now have working tactics to take up to two characters fresh from completing Chahbek Village through Consulate Docks and the Hunted! quest in ~110-120 minutes. See below for details.

    Complete Native NF Rush -- for up to two NF native characters at a time, I can take you through the entire Nightfall campaign via the Istan rush followed by the standard rush route, totaling ~240-260 minutes. By the end, you will have an ascended lv20 character with R5 Sunspear, R2 Lightbringer (storybook to R4), and DoA access. Includes runs to all NF outposts including those not normally hit by the campaign rush from Yohlon. See below for details -- slots highly limited.

    • This may be added as a scheduled rush in the future depending on demand.

    Important Information:

    • I operate in the UTC-5 timezone (CST/CDT, Chicago time) and am generally available from 1100-1600. I may be able to accommodate something in the 1900-2200 range. I generally do not schedule runs/rushes to start after 2200.
    • If you can't make the scheduled time for a Nightfall rush, please reach out -- I am open to doing them off-schedule. I ask that you inquire at least 48 hours in advance, preferably via Discord.
    • All prices are listed in ecto, but I'm happy to take certain alternatives listed in a small table at the bottom of this post. I will update that every so often as I notice market prices changing.
    • Payment is expected upfront for runs you intend to fully AFK.
      • If we've worked together previously, after is fine.
      • For anything else, payment comes halfway through or so.
    • I generally do not do individual mission rushes (including CTC).
    • I do not vanquish, speedbook, or offer rep farming services.
    Display Spoiler
    • I can provide any of the below services without your input if you are comfortable sharing login details for the account. I don't view this as a first resort, but it can be a viable workaround for otherwise intractable scheduling conflicts.

    If you're interested, please message me here, on Discord, or in-game (see signature below). Discord or GWL are highly preferred to in-game messaging. Posting a reply to this thread is also fine, though I can't guarantee I'll get to it as readily as I can a form of direct messaging.

      • Fully AFK for first ~40 minutes after talking to Zudash Dejarin in Yohlon Haven during Hunted! quest.
      • Strictly non-AFK for remaining time -- clients must take/turn in quests as directed, complete solo mission Tihark Orchard (maxHP pcons, plat provided for safe/efficient clear)
      • Scheduling: due to the time commitment of this rush, I ask that you please inquire at least 24 hours in advance of your first choice for desired start time. Bear in mind that I cannot accommodate all potential start times, so please have a second time in mind or be prepared to work with me to determine our mutual availability.

      • Do not under any circumstances:
        • Participate in ways other than the above unless directed

      • Not survivor-friendly: you must die at least once to access Ruins of Morah.
    • Istan Native Rush: Kamadan -> Sunspear Sanctuary | 2 slots @ 700e/slot | ~110-120min
      • Takes NF character fresh from Chahbek Village through all of Istan, granting mainland access significantly faster than solo/heroway play
        • Mainly non-AFK for taking/turning in quests and enabling quest skips
        • Paid in advance or in segments (350e @ Jokanur Diggings, 350e @ Sunspear Sanctuary)
        • Scheduling: due to the time commitment of this rush, I ask that you please inquire at least 48 hours in advance of your first choice for desired start time. Bear in mind that I cannot accommodate all potential start times, so please have a second time in mind or be prepared to work with me to determine our mutual availability.
        • Requirements:

        • Clients should not use partywide consumables, summoning stones, etc. at any time.
        • Not survivor-friendly -- risk of death in the first 15 minutes with minimal practical workarounds.
    • Complete Native NF Rush: Kamadan -> Abaddon | 2 slots @ 1700e/slot | ~240-260min (+5min break for runner at Tihark before reforming party for remainder of campaign).

      • Full story clear from start to finish for Nightfall natives
        • Provides lv20, ascension, R5 Sunspear, R4 (R2 + Storybook) Lightbringer, access to all NF outposts, access to DoA
        • Mainly non-AFK for Istan portion; ~50 minutes AFK for first part of mainland; remaining time non-AFK. This is necessary for quest turn-ins and skips.

        • Scheduling: due to the time commitment of this rush, I ask that you please inquire at least 48 hours in advance of your first choice for desired start time. Bear in mind that I cannot accommodate all potential start times, so please have a second time in mind or be prepared to work with me to determine our mutual availability.
          • If I have client(s) for the mainland rush with agreeable availability, I will add them at Yohlon Haven.
        • Requirements:
          • Character must be a Nightfall native, must have accessed Kamadan, must be able to purchase max armor from the vendor at Consulate Docks (or acquire it in advance), and must have Guild Wars: Factions on the same account.
          • Player must be present and responsive during non-AFK segments. Given the length and complexity of the run, I will stop/kick if client(s) are consistently unresponsive.
        • All participation options and prohibitions from both the NF Campaign Rush and Istan Native Rush apply here in their respective parts -- see above.
        • This rush is not survivor-friendly.

    Tengu is a rare +10 mod

    Even with it being +9 v. Tengu/+28hp? That seems surprising.

    Hello, I am interested in the Tall Shield.

    I think it doesn’t have much value, but we can find a fair price if you want to sell it :)

    Selling it would be better than having it eat bank space. Feel free to DM me here or on Discord; I'll be able to check back in a few hours from this post.

    Dervish main before I quit playing sometime in late '07 or early '08, Dervish main today. It's not an awfully unique look, but I remember doing a lot of Yak's runs and other weird stuff to buy my Primeval back in the day as a kid. Still think the design is very cool.


    Also tried to branch out into Mesmer lately. Not really my thing, but they get neat outfits.

    Quote

    We are currently experimenting with a post limit for the Buy/Sell/Services boards. In essence, you will need a total of 5 posts before you are allowed to post in these boards.

    I've lurked since coming back to the game in ~February and I'm curious about the reasoning on this. Is it just a problem with low-effort posting, spam, or something similar?

    Hey there. I need the mandatory minimum posts to start a services offered thread, so I figured I'd ask if any of this was worthwhile since I really have no idea where else to do that. Not too familiar with the OS market aside from some broad, general ideas about what could be valuable, so while I imagine most of this is junk, maybe something is worth a few ecto.

    Thanks in advance.
