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.

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.

Regards

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.

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.

There was just an old thread from 2023 that hadn't been closed/marked to close.

You can find any thread you created from your Profile page and then follow normal process to mark/request it closed.

Hey im unable to create a thread in Buy section even though my thread was closed days ago, can you fix please, thanks

Hello.

There were previous threads still open in the Buy section from 2024. I've now closed these so you should be able to create a new thread.

Regards

Unfortunately they seem to keep appearing. Maybe some new vulnerability in the forum software.

I have sent a message to Iaerah to notify and I'm sure they will rectify it when they're able.

Quote from Valkyire sane

unsure if i should rename/close start a new thread regarding some old shadowblades/q8-9 swords

Once your price check thread is started and people reply you should not add/change the items. Always make a new thread for new items.

Thanks for the comment Looney, I have updated the post for clarity on Non-Inscribable axes.

What does the Quota show for you on the Conversations page?

This is likely related to the change Iaerah shared last week. I'm sure they will investigate.

Post limit before you can use conversations

Hello everybody,

We have noticed an increase in spam being sent through conversations lately, and to combat this we have decided to introduce the same limit to conversations as is currently applied to the Xunlai Marketplace.

Before you can send a conversation (or reply to one), you will need to:

• Have at minimum 5 posts
• Have an account that is 24 hours old
• Have a verified e-mail

Once all of these conditions are met, you will be able to both post in the Xunlai Marketplace as well as send…

Are there any resources to learn how to run? I finally got my Dervish ready with all skills, but it’s still kinda funky.

I did a lot of Droks runs back in Proph, the route is still in my head. But running it as a dervish just feels… wrong?

I don’t know how to describe it. lol.

Relative Velocity's beginner guide to running

Hi. I'm Relative Velocity. I was an outpost runner way back when, was there when the Cantha tour was first invented, and I still hold some records for zone runs.

I have high precision running map mods with skill timings included that will be of use while you're learning it, and by the end of this guide you should be able to run most routes for profit.

I've also included a few full tour videos, and my running templates for good measure.

I'll be using some common abbreviations, and some less common…

The mode in game is removed. I believe what some groups do is either try and sync entry to RA or they do 4v4 scrims in Guild Halls.

Price check should be set-up to count the posts.

I've made 7 posts total including a thread (8 now) but it's only showing 5 on the count, not sure if I'm missing something (I'm stupid). I also still don't have the ability to post in those sections despite my count showing 5?

Edit: working now

Posts/Threads in the Off Topic area no longer count towards a user's Posts Count.

Quote from Serus Krysyth

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?

We are currently looking for more moderators (Recruitment: new moderators for Guild Wars Legacy!) - we haven't recruited new moderators since Legacy started and some moderators have (naturally) decided to stop or reduce the amount of time they can invest in Legacy.
Because of that, some changes - like this one - are being put in place to help our moderation team.

Let me also add that in addition to creating an entry requirement to Xunlai/trade section the intention of this change is also to encourage the growth of the GWLegacy Forum as a community.

There are enough threads and forums to introduce ones self and share a GW experience before jumping in to trading. We hope it also encourages people to read the rules, see more posts, and how to conduct themselves on the forum.

Post spam seen to be made just to reach the 5 post requirement will be likely be removed possibly delaying access.

Hi! Were the statues you linked here part of some Collectors Edition? Or were they modeled / 3d printed + painted? I have never seen those.

The Dervish and Necromancer statues were available for a limited time via the NC Soft PlayNC store. I think from back around 2006-2007.

I've still been keeping hold of Stolen Supplies and Stolen Goods because of your / Luny's previous collections. Looks like the stackables have come along well! I'll have to take a look at what I've still been collecting.

Why are those people not getting banned?

Unfortunately we don't have moderators active 24/7, there is a hope people can be sensible and follow the rules most of the time.

The reports were received. If there are rule violations then submit a report, it does work.

Thanks.

It was designed to be for people that had no interest in PvE at all and so could just access the PvP areas. It's been around since the game launched and PvP was a major focus while Prophecies was just something to do to get to PvP.

Yeah that website is a load of nonsense, presenting data in a very untrustworthy way.

Five year BUMP.

It was necessary start ammending the valuable drops info in the Drops Guide so thought I would update here too.

Obviously a lot of excitement over any of the new 2025 weapons so they're grouped together.

Can I get any feedback on the other Valuable Weapons dropping today.

Thanks.

You're in luck. They just announced a beta of official Steam Deck controller layout / support in a Game Update last week.

There are many mentions of people using a Steam Deck to play on the /r/GuildWars subreddit too.

As long as you can find a control scheme that you like then people have said it's a good experience.

My name is Laranity, and some of you may know me as a Guild Wars 2 content creator. This year, to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Guild Wars, I am hosting a community playthrough event!

The goal is to get as many people as possible to play through the Prophecies campaign together. We want to recreate that authentic first ever Prophecies experience- where you team up with real people, instead of henchmen!

I'm hoping to introduce the game to lots of my Guild Wars 2 audience, but I'm thinking lots of you Guild Wars veterans might be interested in participating as well. There is a Discord server you can join to find people to play with, and there will be Twitch streams you can join, if that's your thing!

The event kicks off next week at April 15th, and I'm incredibly excited!

Quote from Purely

As always, I appreciate the candid response, but explain to us why you (GWL) haven't taken alternative actions to label suspected individuals as such? You can always remove the "suspected" label once they've quelled suspicion. Or does something like this also require a burden of proof? Also, why can you not just ban them and wait for the re-evaluation request to reinstate the person? I understand this sounds like a headache. I'm only asking for the sake of discussion / understanding.

Edit: To explain further, the point of a ban followed by a re-evaluation request strategy, in my opinion, would possibly result in the users giving up before even sending the request for evaluation. Sure, some might, but I doubt they all would. Who knows.

Quote from Speed Clear Ele

What do you mean howw can you know ?

You want us to make a list with PM's of them admitting to be reselling botted items ?

When someone is selling 200 echovalds or another guy is literally just spamming the forum with Q8 celestial shields, swords or another one is selling only Q8 gold items from NF that were thought to be almost unobtainable 1 year ago...

It is that simple for the most part. We are not experts in identifying it. And it takes more effort in an already time consuming task of moderation.

How do we define what is suspected or when they're quelled of suspicion? There are not expert traders in the Legacy team, just game fans and volunteers.

The same thing happened when ANet were told about the GvG botters; "maybe they're just very good players". Maybe these are just people that farm a lot.

If the trading/Legacy community wants things 'tidying up' then maybe there can be a concensus of how to treat / qualify posts that you can all help with to improve Legacy.

We had talked about limiting the number of items in a sell thread - this might at least slow people down.

I know some forums that require people have a certain number of posts before they can use Trading. Prevents new accounts and first posts being big sales.

If it was limited on x number of type of item?

Any other ideas?

Dedicated Miniatures are worthless, if you don't want them just Trash them.

Everlasting Tonics also aren't in demand. If you're short on space I'd Trash them too.

Non-Dedicated Miniatures; Whites most people have to Giveaway, Purple maybe a few Platinum, Gold/Green maybe a few Ecto but it takes time to sell and if it's using up storage it might not be worth it since you can make 10x the amount in a fraction of the time in one week of selling Gifts of the Traveller.

Thank you for the trade.
