Thanks for bids.

Bump.

I think there are some 'bugs' with forum permissions, that they display things differently for accounts logged out vs logged in vs verified.

We'll try and dig into this a bit to correct it. It's not the first comment I have had from someone who can view Xunlai logged out but not logged in. Shouldn't really be that way.

If more people / anyone else has any forum errors when reporting posts or elsewhere on the forum please mention or share so it can be investigated.

For me I haven't had a slow response / load time but some pages that are image heavy become slow to scroll/navigate.

Quote from calincalin

It should be possible to view the history of past transactions, either through specific access rights or through new rules. For example, item prices should no longer disappear once a sale is closed.

Just looking at the enthusiasm for Guru’s transaction history is enough to show that there is a real need to preserve and maintain historical data. This kind of transparency helps users better understand the market and builds trust.

Out of curiosity how do you see this working?

There is no requirement to post prices that items were traded for, and as far as I know people don't go through and remove bids/offers/prices.

Threads that are closed should still be visible to read.

For mods, it has been discussed in this thread: Valuable Skins, Mods, and GW Drops Guide

Added to the GW Drops Guide: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/173…yestMoA_wILAEk/ (admittedly it needs some further updating since the "of Profession" mods dropped as the market is more stable now).

The intention here was to keep a list of ones that are generally more in demand and more valuable.

Quote from murtaghscrupius

I think a list of generallz valuable mods would be useful, but for prices we should spread among newcomers that for regularly sold items such as mods, kamadan.gwtoolbox.com is the best bet.

There used to be a link to Kamadan.gwtoolbox.com on the bottom of the mainpage of legacy. Idk why Iaerah removed it?

Edit: also i guess even when it was there ppl still asked

The link is now available in the menu bar along the top of the site under Tools & Downloads.

edit: I did put a News Post about the re-organisation - Forum layout changes

I have Sun and Moon Shield and Militia Shield AR8 no req in my sell thread here:

Hi Legacy members. This is a post to inform about some layout changes of the forum. There are many Sections and Sub-Forums that were low on the forum list and do not see much activity. To help give better visibility to posts, threads and forums, some Sub-Forums are being moved/merged.

Guild Wars has got some updates and love and we thought Legacy should too.

Changes

The following Sub-Forums have been moved into Plains of Ashford section:

• Guild & Alliance Recruitment
• Forum suggestions and help
• Game issues

The following Sub-Forums have been removed:

• Contests: Community events and contests

  Events/Contests can still be posted, they now belong in General. If you want particular attention to be given to an Event message the Moderation team.

  Past Events/Contest posts have been moved into General and not lost.

• Guild forums
• The Asuran Lab
• Links
  

External site links are now in the top Menubar:

• Tools & Downloads - Added Kamadan Chat and GWToolbox
• Created Fansites menu - Added Preasearing.com, PvX Wiki, Speed Clear Records forum, Speed Clear Wiki

The forum is now split in to four main sections / categories.

Game discussion topics - Plains of Ashford

Game trading and discussion - The Xunlai Market

Collections discussion & item data - The Museum & The Library

Game builds and guides - Builds and Guides for content

I hope this consolidation and cleanup helps all members find content, promote discussion and maintain an active community.

Regards

Bumping up

Thanks for the bids. Updated current offers.

New day new bump

Reports still come through, but seems like this error is still occurring for some users?

I'll tag Iaerah here to see if there's something they can look into..

Going Up

This is a sale for a few low requirement shields.

Trade in Ecto preferred. Reserve right not to sell.

You're better to ask for support / report issues on their GitHub https://github.com/gwdevhub or Discord https://discord.gg/pGS5pFn so you can follow the Troubleshooting help.

If you get a crash report you can share it there so they can check/investigate.

I saw someone share a link to a version of multi launch they fixed for working on Windows 11 and GW.

Maybe that helps? I can’t verify it.

Release GW MultiLaunch 0.6.9_64 · soletscripts/gwmultilaunch-reforged

Fixed to work with Guild Wars Reforged in Windows 11

Another alternative is to switch to using GWLauncher

Hello,

In November I made a change to the Xunlai Discussion post about "How did Guild Wars treat you today" to apply to Items/Drops only.

There were several reasons for this;
1) The majority of posts were for item/drops and praising or commiserating.
2) As a forum, many alternative topics can easily get lost in one topic about anything.
3) As a forum, separating some discussion is beneficial for overall activity and contribution to discussion, stop it getting lost in a "flood" of posts.
4) This thread is in the Xunlai Market section relating to items/drops and economy so discussion about other things is kind of in the wrong section.

Feedback on this change was mixed but there was a fairly vocal opposition to something I thought would be beneficial for the forum and user experience.

Feedback posts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Therefore I'd like to ask your vote - in the thread(s) so it is easy to find. Can vote in either/both. (Poll closes Monday 19 January 18:00UTC)

I don't intend to 'derail' this thread with discussion so if you want to discuss please post it here, but the poll will exist on the thread(s).

Whatever the outcome of he poll is I'm happy to follow that and ensure good user experience across the forum.

Thanks.

I am confused as to what triggered this post. Did someone derail the thread?

See the multiple Feedback posts (1-7) linked above. Some users were not keen on the change. Nothing more recent.

It isn't showing at the top of the post? It shows like this on my screen. If no I'll have to get it checked by Admin.

November 2025 thread update:

edit: by bsoltan - I'm hijacking this first post to make it clear that this thread is related to the Xunlai Market area and for ITEMs / Goods found/dropped/traded in-game and not for General 'this is a cool thing that is happening'.

Daily Discussion and what you have going on in-game

ive only just noticed this and im wondering:

as far as i remember the snowmen looked a lot more white and 'flat', now it looks way more silver and shiny. and i don't have post processing enabled, the new options (HD bloom and SSAO) are greyed out. i think i recall some level of shine in certain places but it was more subtle.

was it always like this or has anybody else noticed a difference?



edit: from certain angles with light hitting straight on it looks as i remember, but still the other angles…

There is nothing anyone can help with other than ArenaNet Support. If you've already contacted them and provided all necessary details and keep getting the same reply I think you have your answer.

You're better to ask for support on their GitHub https://github.com/gwdevhub or Discord https://discord.gg/pGS5pFn so you can follow the Troubleshooting help.

GWToolbox by it's nature has to interact with the game code so it gives false-positives to antivirus software.

Happy Bump Day

Quote from Sonya of red

I don’t see this on the list but I believe I posted this on the old pre nerf thread

I think this thread mainly deals with items that dropped from foes in the game. Although there has been some talk about quest reward items.

This Battle Axe looks to be one that was from https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Urgent_Warning Quest Reward, there is a note on the wiki page:

"Originally, the Battle Axe (cleaver) that is given as reward in this mission, had different upgrades, being "Energy +3 (while Enchanted) / Energy +5 (while Hexed)" at the same time. It is unknown in which update this was modified since it's not registered in the official Game updates log."

Quote from Heffkip

I assume because the forum is searchable just having a static selling page or shop that you just keep on top of updating would be fine without the need to bump?

Sure. It depends how different users use the forum. Will people use the same search terms. If you use images they're not searchable. How much detail do you want to describe in a post.

Are people going to bother searching or just scroll/view recent posts/threads.

People can manage their thread/search how they wish.

Share whatever you have going on in-game/discussion here.

The Xunlai Market for items/drops still exists here: How did Guild Wars treat you today? Items/Drops ONLY

Just don't post the same content in multiple places. Thanks.

i still completely fail to see even the premise. what problem is this trying to solve?

all this does is destroy an organic conversation by splitting it up

Because this is a forum. Where it is possible to have multiple relevant sections, threads and topics to aid in discussions.

It is not necessarily a problem but a way to improve visibility and discussion across the forum.

By putting any/all (discussion) content into one thread it means interesting topics, like the one you posted with model appearance, get lost with an immediate number of posts about something else.

If that is what people actually want, that is ok. It is simple enough to merge the content back and move it to General area.

There was a mixed response to changing the existing thread, and there was not any constructive discussion such as in the Forum suggestions and help area about how to manage this kind of thing. Only Neutral_CH reached out with a message to Moderators this week.

Most of the content in the thread in Xunlai was related to drops and comments on them. It was rare something else was mentioned and always that content could have gone in a separate thread to encourage more discussion and topics. I have tried out making this change to improve discussion and activity in the general forum areas rather than having all content go to one thread.

Share whatever you have going on in-game/discussion here.

Hello, the rules are explained here:

https://guildwarslegacy.com/forum/xunlai-marketplace-rules/ - It is the top sub-forum in the Xunlai Market section.

1) 24hrs must pass since the previous post you make in your thread.

Bumping

Bumping is the act of the thread creator posting so that the thread returns to the top of the forum list.

• Any post that you make in your thread is considered a bump.
• Once you have submitted a thread/post you must wait at least 24 hours before posting again in your thread.

2) You can edit any post or title at any time. It is common to add and remove items from a Selling thread.

Trying again. Let's see if I can complete this collection before 10 years passes..

You asked same question in Returning player asking for some info so I'm closing this.

Please don't post the same questions in multiple areas of the forum. Thanks.

See the above information. ArenaNet have said there is currently a delayed response times to tickets but as long as you've completed the info as instructed it should get dealt with eventually.

DrStephenCW replied and rectified this in some capacity during yesterday. Looks like they will take a deeper look at it going forward.

Interesting they mentioned that the Traders have a halt if certain items get out of range.. I wonder if people will try and work out what they are.

Hello community,

Due to the relative inactivity of the Builds and Guides section of the forum Builds and Guides for content we're considering merging all the threads/posts into one rather than separate them by; Individual/Profession, Team, Chest running, Farming, PvP, Speedclearing, Mission, Game.

Then creating a Thread Tag for each of these sections; so you'd browse one list of posts but have tags to indicate which of those type of posts it is.

That way active posts can be move visible for contributions.

As the game is relatively solved, and lots of people use PvXWiki there seems to be little need to separate out all the types of builds and it results in very inactive parts of the forum.

Happy to hear your opinions and there is a Poll for simple voting.

Thanks

Quote from Neutral_CH

Let's imagine someone who only wants to buy Prophecies, for example to play Ironman or other theme. In short, exclusively with a campaign. Impossible in “Reforged” mode (?) forced to pay more for the trilogy (?) In some situations, it's not a saving..

Correct. I think after tomorrow it won’t be possible to buy individual campaigns from Steam / ArenaNet.

However it won’t be paying more as they’re pricing the new version of the Trilogy (called Reforged) at the same price a single campaign currently is.
This is excluding prices during sales, we don’t know what a sale will look like when they come up with all this new pricing.

People have also pointed out that it will no longer be possible to have Single Profession characters (using trial keys) after 3rd Dec as all accounts with any Campaign will automatically get all three Campaigns so a Campaign Trial key has no use.

Shield of the Wing, Armor 12 Req 4 Tac - 25e

Thank you for the trade.

The PvP Access Kit has been available for a long time - https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/PvP_Access_Kit

It looks more likely that they're removing it from sale, and just haven't got the right options setup for that on the store page yet.

Perhaps with Reforged it will include the PvP Access Kit by default giving players instant access to PvP but also access to PvE.

One of the things ArenaNet are trying to do is steamline the experience for new players these days and not have all sorts of different products for sale.

November 2025 thread update:

I have added this to the first post for clarification but I'm posting here too. Including a thread title update.

This thread has existed in the Xunlai Market section of the forum for a long time and has mostly been used to post about your day to day experiences related to the Xunlai Market area and for ITEMs / Goods found/dropped/traded in-game and not for General 'this is a cool GW thing that is happening'.

Occasionally the thread has got sidetracked by other GW content/posts which should really belong in a separate thread/their own thread. - Please do that going forward or create a new main thread unrelated to items/drops.

I moved a few posts recently to other thread content and will continue to do so for anthing unrelated to the Xunlai Market area.

Thanks.
