Is editing post consider bumping ? Since my post didnt change location ?
No.
In buy/sell/services You can always edit a post, specially the first post to keep the thread updated. Only a new post counts as bumping.
We ask people not to edit/add/remove items in price check threads. Instead there is no restriction on making a new post in this section.
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.
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.
Display MoreThis 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.
i appreciate the laisser-faire libertarian attitude, but i think of Legacy like ebay or other online selling platforms that do tend to have some level of responsibility and don't just allow the sale of anything i.e. drugs. and the equivalent of the ingame chat would be a guy selling drugs on the streets.
its just an easy out and i don't think this would hold under scrutiny, we could probably find things that you would not want advertised if we searched hard enough.
also there are rules that can get you banned on this site, presumably because just posting anything could be a bad look for it.
btw. did guru allow anything?
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.
'having' the names in-game is already different than having items in the game, thats kinda the whole issue. you have the names on the account level, not on the character level like other things.
if i think this through to the end, selling game keys, accounts or bots could be allowed as well while we're at it
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.
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.
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.
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'.
If you've added pets to the Menagerie you should be able to charm them back from the Menagerie.
Charming
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.
The Speedclear Wiki is in our list of Fansites in the top menu:
There is a page for each of the Professions and on this page it lists Armor, Weapons, Shields, Consumables
There was a post recently on the subreddit about a Damage Calculator tool and it also highlighted another calculator tool.
These may be of use for identifying weapon modifiers and maximizing damage.
I tried to create a selling thread. It was denied because it said I have an open thread. I have no open threads; how can this be fixed?
This thread is open in the sell section.
I can close it for you.
I have moved this thread to the General forum as Xunlai is restricted to in-game items only.
Seeking physical GW merchandise is OK to ask for. I recommend using established platforms to buy/sell.
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.
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.
Gothic Sword is Vampiric Strength 'Dual Vamp' so will be worth a decent offer. Don't merch that one.
edit; Missed that it was 1 off max damage though, so maybe not as valuable as I first thought. Still might be worth not merch.
Since this forum is about Guild Wars 1. And you indicated it has controller support with Reforged.
What are you asking about, GW2?
A few interesting quotes snipped from this article:
Which classic Guild Wars values were “non-negotiables,” that you protected during the modernization process (such as combat feel, instancing model, buildcraft, etc.)?
We’re not going to change the basic gameplay. Guild Wars is unique in the way it mixes skills and skill-building. But we want to expand the audience in two directions: one is more challenge for long term players while simultaneously making the game more accessible for new players.
Similarly, what were some of the difficulties with making Reforged in general? Did anything surprising present a roadblock?
The one area where we faced challenges was with the tools for making content.No new content has been made for the game for a long time, and the tools for making things like 3D models or introducing new items or spawns had accumulated compatibility issues over time. We’re still actively recovering a lot of those tools and getting them working again. For a big online RPG like Guild Wars, that’s a mountain of work, but it’s also rewarding “archeology,” each new tool we recover opens up additional possibilities for future features and content.
What kind of future updates are on the table down the line? Maybe some more QoL enhancements?
Guild Wars has been around for 20+ years at this point and there are a few legacy behaviors that folks have been working around that we’d love to improve. We’d love to keep coming up with interesting ways for folks to re-engage with the game from a new perspective like the Dhuum’s Covenant mode, which recognizes players who haven’t died a single time.We’re also on the lookout for ways to make the experience more inviting for new players. Guild Wars is a complex game with a steep learning curve, but is extremely rewarding once you’ve started to develop some mastery with its systems. We want to make it easier for new players to get to that point.
One of the biggest benefits of shipping Guild Wars Reforged is that it has reinvigorated the community for the game, so the experience is alive with other players in a way it hasn’t been for some time. We want to help continue to grow that community.
How will you decide what to tackle next—community surveys, telemetry, support tickets, Steam reviews, or something else?
It’s a bit of everything. We definitely spend time on various channels seeing how folks are engaging with the game and listening to pain/high points. We also have testers come in that have a range of experience with the game and ArenaNet has an excellent community voice team that helps us consolidate and prioritize feedback from all of these sources.We’re also fans of the game and have our own ideas about the ways we’d love to see it grow. We love finding ways of surprising new and long-time fans.
Since 2018, Reddit has been our main communication path with players. For Reforged, we significantly ramped up our social media outreach. We're expanding our creator partners program to support OG Guild Wars and we hope soon to be working with some of our passionate fan sites and fan groups.
This came out just before the 28 January Melandru Accord Beta Release, so they've got a flow with a news release and an update.
Pleased to hear they've worked on some of the old development tools to help aid in improving things for new and old players and are keeping working towards that!
Hello everybody - big news, as the new archives are now live!
Hop on over to https://archive.guildwarslegacy.com to check it out - feel free to leave feedback here for future improvements.Kevin
This new backup/archive still seems to be missing the Gladiator's Arena. Previously it was between "The Campfire" and "Explorer's League".
Any plan to re-instate it or is there a reason it is missing.
In the GW Global Discord and the /r/GuildWars subreddit information to help price check/value items has been worked on and consolidated over time. I realised we don't really have anything like that here, so I'm copy and pasting the same information here to see if anyone has advice / comments then I plan to pin a thread in Price Check with a few key bits of information.
This is not intended to replace any Price Checks but maybe give people the tools and source of knowledge to help understand the GW economy a bit better.
I would like to get your opinion and contribution on this if you think there is anything to add/change.
Thank you.
Shields
Martial Weapons - must have max modifier (Like 15 over 50, not 14 over 50).
Caster Weapons
Thanks for bids.
Bump.
bsoltan Since the poll has ended, shouldn't the threads reunite?
Thanks for the prompt. Yes following the vote the decision was in favour of having just one thread and moving it to General.
This has now been done, title and posting has been reverted. I hope people weren't too inconvenienced.
(Still don't know why only one poll worked but it had enough votes) 
I will try and do more votes in the future if it may be impactful to threads/discussion.
Thanks, happy posting!
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.
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.
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.
The following Sub-Forums have been moved into Plains of Ashford section:
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.
External site links are now in the top Menubar:
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
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..
This is a sale for a few low requirement shields.
Trade in Ecto preferred. Reserve right not to sell.
Thanks

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.
Another alternative is to switch to using GWLauncher
Display MoreDisplay MoreHello,
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.
bsoltan How do we vote? I cannot see any voting buttons or can click on anything to vote (please dont ban me before being off-topic)
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.
