Identify costs are like 4 gp I think, or do I miss something? Your document seems to say it's 25 GP

oops, guess I must have just put uses. Ha, thanks.

edit: Checked and updated the ID and Salvage costs.

Here are some more scythe skins I can think of (worth in Q9/10): insectoid, tentacle, bonecage

And bows: dryad, silverwing

PS: the link to your guide isn't working for me

Link updated! Thank you. I'll add those skins too. Don't how how I missed those bows. Oops.

Hello,

For some time now I've been trying to work on a guide for players to know what to do with drops that they get in-game. The idea being to help players identify what drops are worth keeping/selling and where it isn't worth bothering. Most of the logic will be well known to seasoned players of the game so I'm hoping to get some of your input. It isn't meant to replace anything or answer every question regarding items, it's just a reference.

Here is a link to the Guide, it allows you to add comments to the file or please just comment in this thread:

GW Drops Guide

I have started a list of the Valuable Skins and would like help to complete this.

I would also like to finalise the list of Desirable Weapon Mods that it worth keeping/selling.

Keep in mind that this guide is aimed at new players but should also be realistic in terms of things that are guaranteed/quick to sell at a profit > merch rather than really detailed.

If you follow the guide it will say that if one get's an item and they're not sure to ask/get price check: For example any non-inscribable item with perfect stats.

Valuable Weapons

Valuable Weapon Mods

Valuable Green/Unique Weapons

Some past threads regarding skins:

A thread had been started in past but no one posted any replies. Suggestion about which skins are still valuable

This thread had a few suggestions regarding the Zaishen Chest, but my requet is much broader. Which Zaishen Chest skins are worth trying to sell?

Appreciate any feedback and help. If you disagree with anything please help me refine it.

Thank you.

Quote from Age

What missions give out the Proofs?I have done all end missions and some that is says on the wiki and am only getting 3 and not 5.What missions are best to do to get all 5 plus if you want the weapons?

The event ended on the 6th May so you'll no longer be able to get Proofs of Legend until next year's event.

You can earn a Proof of Legend for completing one mission in each Region of each Campaign.

These Regions should be listed on the Wiki page as well; for example there's six in Prophecies; Ascalon, Shiverpeaks (North+South together), Kryta, Maguuma, Crystal Desert, Ring of Fire.

Hi jimbo32,

Deleting posts in the trade sections has been disabled since moving to GWLegacy. The trade section doesn't see the traffic that Guru did in its peak so it's there to make things a bit simpler for following threads and for the mods.

There are only a few threads which people keep going and do a good job of updating long term. If you/anyone would like to have multiple bumps deleted to tidy up your thread just drop me a message and I'd be happy to check and delete the 'bump' posts.

Regards

bsoltan

Why can we no longer like posts in this thread?

Quote from Shaggy

Looks like they changed it to the "react" feature.

This is correct. The forum software was updated recently and it changed the thumbs up/down to the Reactions.

It is, but you're unlikely to find players to do that now. Maybe if you find the right Guild/Alliance.

Other ways to get Faction these days are through Deep and Urgoz runs, again in the right Guild/Alliance.

When you open up the Skills window and try and Load a Template what path does it show?

Normally (C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Guild Wars\Templates\)

Have you tried putting these folder names into Google Translate? I don't know if it is a language or just characters.

Did you recently have a Windows update or notice anything different with Windows Language settings?

Very cool! Nice to see that area re-created in a different engine. Did you have to create art for the textures yourself?

The lighting is very pretty and effective in Unreal Engine.

Quote from Spun Ducky

What if this was done on an alternate account? Never tested but there is an item or two I would have always liked to transfer.

It is the same thing regardless of account. A ‘character’ for this purpose isn’t defined by the name but by an unique ID generated. This ties into any customised items.

Quote from Sneaky

Older me would assume the armour is actually customised you a character ID under the hood, not a character name..

Yes this is exactly how it works, the same with customised weapons.

Woah impressive. New weapon options and some new Elite Skills. Colour me surprised!

Hello all,

Thanks for the reports of the spam conversations some of you have received. Sorry about that! The user has been banned and we're aware they may have contacted several off you but it should stop there.

Please do not click any links and I've messaged Kevin to see if there is anything to prevent it happening in the future.

Helllo everyone. So i believe many toolbox users got banned at December Update 2019 so I would like to ask if I can still use toolbox these days.... Any opinions about that?

There aren't any facts to back this up. Here are some statements from the developers:

Quote from Arcana Force

and don't forget there is only one developer working on GW and not full time.

To our knowledge there is currently NO developer working on GW for any time.

Good discussion but as Max pointed out it got off-topic from the original thread.

I've split out the relevant posts, please continue discussion here. Thank you.

edit - thanks for the trades!

Interesting first post.

Having reviewed this content: the link provided by Tsoy has been removed due to the 'kamadan chat' site purposefully promoting and advertising gold/item/account selling for real money as well as profiteering from Guild Wars.

GW Legacy and the wider GW community including the GW Sub-Reddit and GW Global Discord will not link-to or mention sites that advertise or promote Real Money Trading (RMT), Gold Selling or any other actions that promote such activities.

Discussion of such things is allowed hence this thread has been reinstated, but only as long as the rules of the forum are followed.

Quote from ACWhammy

Hey all! We decided to wait until after the holidays to publish the letter. We felt that it would be better received by Anet at this time. So now that the holidays are over, stay tuned! bsoltan

Thanks for the reply. It might be nice to address the lack of communication and information on recent bans that seem to be effecting many people.

Very cool idea, loving these Mercs with costumes! Look forward to seeing more of the Ministry's adventures.

Yes, the GW update changing the compiler has broken many of the third party programs, tools, bots etc.

KAOS is currently working on updates to the launcher, I think a version is available which is being tested. If you.

They're currently working on Toolbox updates and a beta is out for that too..

You can get latest info in their Discord.

I saw someone say that it broke GWdressup. I understand GWMultiLaunch still works.

Hi Veritas,

If you're using imgur as a host then you need either the Direct Link or BBCode link:

You can use the Direct Link with the "Image" in the forum toolbar, paste it in the Source box.

The BBCode can be directly pasted into a post and it will display the image.

There we go!

You'll also find a thread on this forum for BiP Support.

Quote from Arcana Force

You can't be serious right ?
Did you ever checked the List of Bugs and Anomalies at GW Wiki ? I can accept the clipping and the armor issues but the skill ones please don't tell me that they are not important.

In your post you said "continue making updates/fixing stuff in the game" - I'm aware there are minor bugs with certain things but I'm not aware that any of these have ever been fixed or considered to be fixed in the last year since we got some quality of life updates. Maybe it is just my misunderstanding of your sentence.

The only one I can think of is the 'fix' for certain skill use by AI, which could be considered a bug I suppose.

Since most of these other bugs have been in the game for many years I doubt there is consideration for fixing them now. Would be good if they did though!

Welcome back!

Depending on when you last played, no the game hasn't changed much at all.

There hasn't been a skill balance since Elementalists in 2012. Last major content update was 2015 anniversary update.

Most recently there was a few quality of life/UI/graphical improvements in 2019.

You can see the game updates here: GW Wiki Game Updates.

Regarding builds you'll find Hero builds in our Team Builds section, and on GW PvX.

For your player builds; from what you've mentioned Assassin is probably optimal, then Dervish (Dervish higher if you have skill to ball enemies regularly). With Ranger the best DPS is Daggers anyway so you may as well play Assassin.

Best of luck on your return!

Iaerah has been doing some theme tweaks - you may find it under Change Style (bottom right of the page) - The Dervish?

This was shared by /u/crisisknight on Reddit but thought I'd make a thread for awareness here too.

ArenaNet are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the studio's creation by producing an art book that spans GW and GW2 art and concept art. It is being created by Dark Horse.

I would certainly like to ask about having an official community contact for GW1. Stephane still updates the wiki when Bill released updates, someone still does the Twitter and Facebook when GW goes on sale (probably Stephane too), but no one interacts with the community to give some transparency and and support to the players and results in threads like this.

Can we continue to expect GW and GW.com store items to go on sale around holidays/events? Is this the preferred choice over a permanent price reduction?

I agree with the above that with Bill leaving and no answer from Anet about it we just don't know if QoL changes are still being looked at or are we back to 2017/18 with server maintenance only.

Similarly as mentioned about bots in PvP and Gold Sellers. They gave us a chat filter which would indicate that they're not that bothered about permanently stopping this or actively removing these users from the game. Without giving an official answer that they won't.

Ideally if we could get any questions/answers I'd ask about how reports are handled. We've talked about reporting them for way over a year now. Is it actually worth it? Does anyone look/action it. We don't need to know detailed specifics.

Then some more fun questions:

Is there going to be anything special for ArenaNet's 20th anniversary, and GW's 15th anniversary?

Did they expect GW to remain this popular coming up to 15 years from release?

What is the future for the franchise, is it 100% GW2 or is there are GW3 in the distance, or maybe something else entirely?

What games do they see as their main competitors now and in the future?

Quote from Arcana Force

One simply but rly crucial question for me:

Are they going to continue making updates/fixing stuff in the game ?

I doubt they gonna give any straight answer (insert marketing bs here) but you never know, let's hope ?

Was there actually anything broken in the game that has needed fixing? QoL updates were made, yes but I'm not aware they was any problems/fixes put in.

Quote from dubbleclick

If anything, they'll give another developer the option to do it in their free time. I doubt they'll use company resources for it.

Since March 2019 Bill Friest was already able to do GW1 development in his work time and even confirmed that he had got another developer involved to work on things. So they were already using company resources for 6 months.

Quote from archenemy

for me i will ask :will there be a new mini pet, tonic and new emote in the same style rank ha,zaishen... or not?

Well. Their answer on new content for the game since it went to maintenance mode has always been "No". Out of curiosity what mini pet/tonic would you want and what is the rank emote supposed to be for?
