  • Low Req. Tactics Blue & Purple Inscribable Shields [Round, Wooden, Tall, Sun and Moon, Skull, Militia]

    This is a sale for a few low requirement shields. [A repost from January, sorry I didn't get back to those that bid before.]

    This will be active for 1-2 weeks, no reserves so I can offload these.

    Trade in Platinum/Ecto preferred. Leave bids below. Thanks

    Looking at https://kamadan.gwtoolbox.com/ Arms seem to be about 30e each so taking that into account for Ecto:Arm bids. (100e is more than 3a)

    Please make bids per item rather than blanket +X on all.

  • Add Reactions To PC Section


    Would it be possible to keep track of user's 'score' for thumbs up/thanks ? It is something that could be useful to show on the user information (where we currently have Reactions / Points / Trophies / Posts). This is shown on each person's post on the forum so being able to see contributors that get feedback in this way would be nice to recognise.

  • [Suggestion] Trade Section

    To go back to the original post. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Perhaps this is something that the Buying section can be used for?

    These threads move a lot more slowly than Sell threads. Perhaps combining a WTB with WTT post. Then people can list what they're looking for but also what they might have available to exchange. It could be a trial to see how popular that is.

    If it is very popular we can create a dedicated subforum but I feel it might be too niche of a requirement to add a section for it specifically.

    What we would want to do is avoid people bidding on items that are open to Trade only. Of course with the person having the option to create/list them in a Sell thread also if there is interest.


    I think pequeno's tool is also an interesting solution as a visible way for people to keep track and advertise their collections including what they're set on keeping vs what they're open to exchange vs actively selling.

  • ArenaNet policy on voice commands ?

    As long as accounts are being controlled independently then I don't think there is any issue on how they are controlled.

    Keyboard, Mouse. There is now controller support included. There is touchscreen for Mobile.

    I can't see that changing one of these methods to voice control or any other kind of input would be an issue.

    Who's going to be first to complete GW on a Guitar Hero controller?

  • Need help - Some of my key bindings were changed, is that normal ?

    For your awareness, I think the game does or used to automatically change keyboard layouts to en-US when launching Guild Wars. This was a default game behaviour observed by the GWDevHub (GWToolbox) team.

    In GWToolbox launched by GWLauncher a fix was put in place to override this and keep a user's normal keyboard layout and not switch it to en-US. It may be a default option and you may be observing difference on accounts if launching with GWLauncher and Toolbox.

    To be sure you can launch each account without Toolbox or Launcher and check and set your keybindings and they should remain. Just be aware that using these other tools could modify it.

    I think the setting in GWToolbox is in: Modules - Keyboard Layout Fix.

  • Xunlai Marketplace: Rule Update - Trading of Player Names is now prohibited

    Hello all,

    Effective immediately the trading of Player / Character Names is prohibited on GW Legacy.

    The Marketplace Rules have been updated to add this to the section under "The following actions/items/services are not permitted"
    <https://guildwarslegacy.com/forum/xunlai-marketplace-rules/>

    "Parking" and trading of player names began due to the Game Update on 22nd April 2026 allowing for single word English language names.

    Following feedback and discussion we feel that Player Names are too problematic to be traded on the forum.


    Any existing threads featuring player names will be closed/removed. Please edit these trades out of your threads if you wish to keep other content.


    Regards

    GW Legacy

  • Price Check Undedicated Mini Panda

    I have moved this thread to Price Check section (and renamed title) as there have been several posts only about the Price rather than offering a Sale.

    Please remember not to have discussion and comments in the Buy/Sell sections. Only make offers there.

    Fay Please make a new thread in the Buying section if you wish. Thank you.

  • New minis HoM?

    That's correct. It was listed as a known issue on the game update page when the content was added.

    https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Game_updates/20260428

    Quote

    Known issues

    • New minis reuse existing icons that don't match.
    • New minis do not interact with the Hall of Monuments.


    ^ This was the update that added Tunnels of the Forsaken. So it would apply to the https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Miniature_Ghost_of_Althea and https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Miniature_Undead_Prince miniatures.


    And may also apply to the 'new drops' inadvertently added in the 21 July update - https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:…pdates/20260721

    Quote
    • We had also added some new drops to the Underworld chest that are now turned off until next week’s content update build. When that build goes live, these will be added back and you’ll have some fun new minis and unique items to hunt down.

  • Forum Rule Update: Do not post content using generative AI

    Hello,

    We have seen very limited but increasing use of generative AI content on GW Legacy from Sell thread images to memes.

    ArenaNet's user agreement was updated in 2024 to firmly state that using any ArenaNet assets (screenshots, text etc.) in generative AI tools is in breach of the agreement:

    <https://www.arena.net/en/legal/user-agreement>

    2.2.3 Obligations.
    When Using Our Content and creating and using User Content, including Fan Projects, you must abide by the following:
    ii. You may not input Our Content into generative AI tools like Midjourney, Dall-E, ChatGPT, AudioCraft, etc. or Use our content to train artificial intelligence models.

    To discourage users from violating the user agreement with ArenaNet and to not have the forum host/contain content in violation of the user agreement we are banning generative AI content from Legacy.

    An update to the Forum Rules is as follows:

    Quote

    8. Do not post content using generative AI

    Use of Guild Wars content in generative AI applications is a violation of the ArenaNet user agreement (2.2.3 ii): https://www.arena.net/en/legal/user-agreement

    Beyond that, all generative AI content of any kind is banned from GW Legacy. This includes but is not limited to images, videos, and text.


    While it is tempting to use such tools to enhance posts, create memes or more, we ask that you respect the user agreement and an individual's artistic talent. Please follow the forum rules and find non AI driven methods to add creativity to your posts.

    Should we find any posts from the past that contain AI content, we may remove these in keeping with the new rule.


    Regards

    GW Legacy

  • I got scammed & thread suggestion (game update discussion)

    Maybe it is something to focus on the Wiki information.

    When there are Game Updates, there is also a section for Guild Wars Wiki Notes, which often covers things that change in-game that aren't mentioned in the official patch notes

    example from 24-June-2026: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:…Wars_Wiki_Notes

    It requires someone to find it, confirm it, and update the Wiki though.


    A community "Drop Changes" thread could work too, perhaps in Item, Drop, and Research Q&A

    I suppose up to this point new drops only happened with major content updates and have been so old they're covered in pre-nerf information.

    Thanks for sharing more info about it and hope people find more tools as good options for in-game trading.

  • PRESEARING - ONE MONTH LATER

    Quote from Marcus Ferret

    If I haven't heard or read wrong, future development and maintenance of Guild Wars Reforged is now handled by only 4 individuals. I doubt they actually have time to listen to the player community when there are more urgent matters which need to be dealt with, e.g. financial stability, game improvements, potential content development and upgrade, etc. However, it shouldn't stop us, the players, from reaching out. First, by thanking them, followed by new ideas and feedbacks.

    This is something that GWLegacy can do even though there is currently a huge divide amongst forum members here regarding the recent updates and content. As I mentioned before, GW is a game for all, be they new, veterans, or returning. There should be a little something for everyone, including for the team of developers, so choices have to be made. Is the lack of transparency due to an overworked team of developers? Or is it actually due to the constant gripe and lack of proper feedback from a playing community that feels entitled?

    Aeronwen As moderators on this forum, I would presume that you have enough knowledge of the people who have contributed the most to this website as well as GWWiki and are able to assist if ever communications were to be made. In addition, you are also part of a larger and active alliance which shares passion for the game, both in pre as well as post.


    I don't know where the number of developers comes from but there is nothing confirmed. I think people would be surprised at the size of 2weeks team working on GW as well as members at ArenaNet.

    It requires digesting a lot of the communications across platforms to get more of an insight, for example Bill Freist (ANet) recently commented on a Reddit post so he must still be involved.

    In the recent 21st Anniversary Stream it was presented by Richard Foge but he mentioned that 2weeks have an art team and creative/narrative team working on things for GW Reforged. Also that the Mobile version has been the main focus since they started working with ArenaNet.

    --

    Regarding feedback; At the moment it feels like most of the recent discussion has gravitated towards the 2weeks Games Discord server so my only suggestion would be for people to join there. There have been many Pre-Searing discussions there already.


    2weeks / Richard Foge do seem to encourage player feedback/comments. This has primarily transferred to the 2weeks Games Discord Server now where GW players have got more and more active since Reforged launched. There are multiple Threads of ideas/suggestions/discussion ongoing. It wasn't officially requested but they have said they read things and not to stop discussing. They have mentioned several times that they don't share what they are working on though. So far it has been used best to communicate bugs within updates so 2weeks can apply hotfixes.

    ArenaNet (and now 2weeks) have lacked a clear communication route to the fans and players since GW went into maintenance mode. They stopped having a community manager and so started picking up / communicating in fan-lead spaces. This started on the /r/GuildWars subreddit where ArenaNet would comment. Some years ago they even asked to organise a 'low hanging fruit' list of things to fix which was organised by members in the community via the subreddit.

    I know some individuals even have direct contact with ArenaNet through DMs/Email and get through that way. I think Iaerah has had some contact to arrange gifts for the developers that way.

    A primary place has always been the GWWiki and Feedback to Patch Notes, there's been some limited reply to things by ArenaNet there. There is also a post in the GW2 Forums for GW Reforged notes/bugs/feedback.

    I think unless ArenaNet/2weeks actively reach out to the community to organise or share a route for feedback and discussion it will always be fractured across whatever platform fans prefer to use without any guarantee that it's reaching developers at all until someone replies.

    As you noted it's also risky that the people that talk the most are the only ones that get heard and ArenaNet/2weeks need to consider the entire current and future players. Not just the ones that are vocal, not just the ones on Legacy / Discord / Reddit. They have the logs and information and make the decisions for their vision of the game.

  • How Do You Trade/Sell Names In A Secure Manner?

    Quote from Neutral_CH
    Quote from trademeimfamous

    if i think this through to the end, selling game keys, accounts or bots could be allowed as well while we're at it

    Based on what has been said on this topic, there is nothing stopping you from purchasing them with in-game items. However, most are traded for money rather than in-game items.

    So you can sell them on Legacy for in-game items.. (?) Keys, account not bots of course.

    No, The Xunlai Rules prohibit the trade of these items on the forum.

  • How Do You Trade/Sell Names In A Secure Manner?

    There are no terms and conditions, there is no backup for trading via Legacy as Iaerah pointed out. It's literally a place to post an advert. All transaction is between the seller/buyer. Anything else inferred by using Legacy as a trading platform is on the buyer/seller.

    I don't know what scrutiny you're looking to hold Legacy to. If someone's trade doesn't go as they want it there is nothing to come back to Legacy for.

    This is all explained in the Xunlai Rules. https://guildwarslegacy.com/forum/xunlai-marketplace-rules/

    When I talked about items allowed for trade, that was in line with the Xunlai Rules as well. Which has description of the things that are not permitted on Legacy, which covers some of the items you mention. Game keys, accounts, bots.

  • How Do You Trade/Sell Names In A Secure Manner?

    Quote from trademeimfamous

    allowing this was poor judgment in the first place, the fact that it is 'allowed' gives these trades a seeming level of legitimacy that nobody can actually guarantee. so as soon as something goes wrong it makes legacy look bad. and even if there are no Terms of Service that could somehow be interpreted to forbid this (which i have not checked), i highly doubt that Anet likes to see this, given their history of making everything more accessible and less exclusive/expensive.

    We haven't explicitly allowed anything. These are just people advertising something for trade.

    We didn't prevent it, precisely to see what the discussion and likelyhood of trades would be. This thread is interesting insight.

    I hadn't considered that trades on Legacy carried any kind of legitimacy. This is just an advertising platform. In my mind posting on Legacy is no different to posting in Trade Chat in-game, it just offers a different format/platform. That's a view point that is worth considering.


    My personal opinion is similar to those shared in this thread, but that's less to do with how to trade them and more about player etiquette. Rushing to reserve names to try and profit from them.

    Ultimately players can try and sell anything they 'have' in-game. If players don't want to buy it then they won't be able to sell it.

  • How Do You Trade/Sell Names In A Secure Manner?

    Quote from Blink316

    i completely disagree, its completely different to actual items. You use a trade mod, you give your item, buyer gives cash, they swap, done. theres a plethora of things to go wrong on a name sale, and yet youve allowed it. Idk how you can allow someone in the marketplace to say its safe and secure. we all know it isnt

    I know what you're saying, for the purpose of Legacy Xunlai Market it's looked at as one in-game "thing" for another in-game "thing".

    Same as selling a Guild? Trim Service? Pre-Post Trade?

    These things have been around for a long time. It's completely up to the traders themselves to take the risks.

  • How Do You Trade/Sell Names In A Secure Manner?

    Quote from Blink316

    yup

    id love to know how the mods on here authorised the sale of names and how its guaranteed. any mods care to explain?

    i do have names id sell, but idk how it can ever be "safe"

    It is the same as any other sale/trade in-game. No sales are guaranteed by Legacy it is all between the buyer and seller in-game and for them to work out.


    As has been mentioned here, there's no simple way to trade character names. Probably why it's never come up before one word names were introduced.

    Anything that is not traded through one action of Trade Window has a risk to go 'wrong'.

  • I have to pay to get my ranger pet back from menagerie?

    If you've added pets to the Menagerie you should be able to charm them back from the Menagerie.

    Zaishen Menagerie Grounds - Guild Wars Wiki (GWW)
    wiki.guildwars.com

    Charming

    • You can search the grounds and find an unlocked charmable animal at tier 1 and charm it.
    • Wynn (Zaishen Training Captain) will spawn 4 identical charmable animals of any unlocked charmable animal/tier 2 and above on your account, letting you charm one.

    Wynn should be able to spawn your Tiger that you added at lvl 15.

    Any pets that were below lvl 12 you'll have to search the grounds to find the location.


    "Currency" to do with unlocking are only if you haven't added a pet to the Menagerie and need to unlock it to make it available.

    The only other "Currency" is to 'level up' the tiers of pets available to Tame, but most people just charm low/starter level Pets and then death-level them in the Menagerie.

    Wiki admin here.

    Already talked to OP on discord, but posting here as well. The long story short is that the wiki (the full suite of wikis, GWW, GW2W EN, GW2W DE, GW2W FR, and GW2W ES) (and websites on the internet in general) have had to deal with a lot of botscraping over the past couple years due to the rise of LLMs, to the point that without some bordering-on-draconian firewall rules, the wikis would be too DDOS'd to be accessible to anyone.

    So if you're trying to browse special pages like WhatLinksHere and so forth, it's normal to get 403 errors while not logged in. You can solve this by making an account.

    If making an account (and being logged into your account) doesn't solve your issue, you can post on https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Help:Ask_a_wiki_question or on the GW2W discord in the #wiki-not-game-support channel (just specify that it's about GW1W). Helpful information is the specific page(s) you get 403'd on, the date and time (with timezone), and your username/IP.

    On a sidenote, if you need to quickly contact GWW admins, there's a #gw1w channel on the GW2W discord that a bunch of us are in and keep an eye on.

  • GW Market

    Quote from OS T

    I had no idea a site like this existed either. Is this a legal site to trade/put in order like materials?

    It's a visual way to display what players are selling in-game. Rather than posting in/reading the Kamadan chat. An alternative to creating a thread on this forum.

    A seller can select the items and create their 'stock' for other people to search/browse. They then meet-up in game to trade.

    Same as looking at items on a Legacy thread, and then finding the player in-game to trade.

    Some people are finding it useful to make trades rather than spamming in Kamadan.
