the contrary! there's so many that only with stuff like this you can withstand their forceful attacks.

Why does GW *not* have kneepads? Shhhhaaaaammmmeee!

Quote from Excite Blue

I'm gonna guess there are no Gnomes in your garden either?

Quote from Ostona

Don't forget "unique" which means "exactly the same every time it drops" in gw terms 😂

Edit: imagine if "unique" items in gw were indeed unique, a randomly generated, profession tied to dropping boss *but* the inherents possible included basically any combo of inherents available anywhere, sometimes doubles.

Staff? Screw it somehow it rolled 30hp x3

Shield? Yay! A dual reduction green lol!

Focus? Ok, why the hell is this ench 20% longer and armor +10 vs lightning?

Most of the time they would end up oddly useless, but certain combos would be cool.

Idk, that 420 can be bad for your health... its not all cancer treatment and cuppycakes. 😆

GW made me cry today

Here ya go, i flipped that 2 into a 5 as best i could.

Quote from Flint Lightning

Quick hit a revive orb! ......

Crap, no orb, no gems...

Must. Break. Out. Credit. Card.

Afaik there is no zero xp way, but 750xp is possible.

Have someone do the killing for...

250 from getting your first primary skills quest outside asc

250 from further adventures quest i think

250 from picking a secondary, rogue bull is closest

Then go thru acadamy by flagging ahead the allies for no xp. The acadamy start will not have the mission mark, but *he will* let you in.

Less xp may be possible with hax.

Identify

Well there it is...

Aren't they always naked?

Every one i id is...

there's always the drop box at the top of the friends list, set it offline and hide from everybody.

got an idea, right click on your gw icon and hit run as admin and see if it'll let you change keys then.

If it works you can go into the shortcut properties and set it to always run as admin.

Quote from zurathustra

If you're stuck for money and can't afford to buy skills or even basic runes for your heroes, get yourself a farming character set up asap. Personally I recommend farming Vaettirs to get yourself started which works best with a sin, mesmer, or ele. The only thing you need to do this farm is run to the third or so town in eotn (Longeye's Ledge) and be level 20 to turn on hard mode.

Well, that and have beaten the EotN primary chain completely on another character. HM needs to be unlocked to turn it on. You also need the bear shrine primary norn quest complete on the vaettir farming character.

Really, only *you* need dp. Sure it's a party remover, but the luck triggers on 15% removal, not *entire party* dp removal.

Saying that, the vamp + mezzes of fast cast rez like power leveling a pet might help? Just use higher hp armor by a bit (like 105+hp) so you have more time to use a clover.

Quote from BigZ

Perfection.

the staff is the most useless and unwanted.

No inherent energy or hsr = why bother

I had fun today on the runs we did to the Barbar Shop.

I wish i got more of the gold drops though, my rng is horrible.

Wayfarers Marks can be used for other items every year during Wayfarer's Reverie

If those first ones are Monestery Credits use them for free id and salvage kits

I can join you sometime, i like Barbarous, but theres others i enjoy too.

I think you have my Raise accnt in your list already, but I'm usually pretty quiet. I've been on the Ouch one more recently.

Quote from zurathustra

How was today? Pretty good all things considered. I finished a project I've been working on for a bit: Max 7 titles within 5 seconds of each other. Now I have plans on maxing out other title groups at the same time and I bet it's going to feel just as amazing when I finish!

I missed favor, do it again in 45min or so... 😁😆

The wiki weirdness has to do with the item attributes for the staves that drop in multi prof as insc and os only having a couple possible tables in the wiki code, and neither is correct, but this is closest the wiki tables has.

They don't like doing custom tables, and the infobox is literally just this... it's set to all caster, because the only other choice for this is primary only i think.

{{Weapon infobox
| image = [[File:Ghostly Staff.jpg|200px]]
| type = [[Staff]]
| campaign = [[Core]]<br>[[Prophecies]]<br>[[Nightfall]]
| attribute = caster
| damagetype = Varies
| pvpreward = Exotic
| commonsalvage = [[Pile of Glittering Dust|Piles of Glittering Dust]] <br> [[Wood Plank]]s
}}

They are basically at random almost everywhere on istan Island.

The higher level (lol) places like issnur, mehtani, and lahtenda are best.

Also any istani chest is a chance.

the aion wings code was from the steelbook edition of the game aion, not a magazine. You can still find new old unopened stock on ebay (~$5)

Amazon too (~$8)

Quote from gdyb

Decided to get into chest running to max chest, lucky and unlucky titles but not too experienced in judging drops, yet. These any good?

It's an under-appreciated skin, but finding a matching 20/20 forbidden staff is pretty sweet.

enameled and darkwing i've only found in dwarven, underground areas as far as i remember

pretty sure secret lair of the snowmen in nm is one source

Nearly everything is lvl 15 and most generic "eotn underground" skins drop there... that or it's a similar loot table to battledepths based on physical location on the map.

I know I've gotten an enameled before, but it sucked.

Lord Onrah gave me a decent shield drop...

Just a FYI, Lord Onrah can drop this too...

the only things that have been done in years (other than the anniversary weapons and pve elites) have been "low hanging fruit".

That means things simple-ish to implement by the limited team gw has left (stefan clarke-wilson and bill friest).

Many of the recent changes they did were pulled out toolboxes codebase and added to gw, or just doubling a number for fl/iggy length, or changing a 1 to a 2 to make the presearing gate stay open 2x as long.

I'm not saying this to disparage their efforts, the updates have been great, it's just pointing out 2 dudes can't possibly undertake such a big update alone. The only possibility would be if anet threw extra resources at gw1 for the 20th anni or something.

also which skin will make a difference, diamond (ewwwww) or gorgon/medusa (yaaaaay!)

Make sure you specify which it is in the auction.

Quote from Fenrir el Gris

sorry but info about heket is false, spawn in kourna, https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Koss%27s_Elixir

let's try :p

I saw where he is on the wiki page, I'm just happy to know he exists. He gets my hopes up for another 'unicorn' skin i never thought possible as a no req. With his level i think it should be possible, it's comparable to the low end of other sources on istan that drop no req max shields.

and I'll be pissed if he doesn't because he's wielding it in his damn picture 🤣

Quote from Jonast

“That guy”

Welp, he's wielding it in his wikipic so he better give me it! 😆

Quote from Fenrir el Gris

rain/rock beetle lvl 20, behemots lvl 20, roaring eter lvl 20, and not sure if im missing some foe, one heket lvl 5 will spawn on istan but not sure what ''wildlife'' affiliation is asigned for that one :p

Wait? What is this lvl 5 heket on istan, i must find out if i can get that f**ker to drop no req 8ar insc tribal (face) shields.

It's a skin i gave up on, since its only from heket, and didn't know about "that guy".

I thought i was supposed to be the crazy one around here?

I could use the mini gwen for a project I'm working on. 🤫

I'll 3xplain the staff thing a bit...

On OS staves for monk they are all requires smite or divine favor, so q9 df with hct 20% of prot or heal is a "perfect" os heal/prot staff.

On most skins like holy staff its common to find, but plagueborn (and certain other skins) has nearly every caster attribute, so rolling q9 df + perfect 20% prot is a rare combo

Iaerah bears was pretty active in the thread on the pre site, wouldn't surprise me if most, if not all, of that list is already included.

Quote from Zes

Hi guys, was just wondering if someone kept a more up to date version? I downloaded the last one, but I feel like it doesn't filter anything, thinking maybe since as I see most spammers now include either a - or a _ between the letters (I only see a few such lines in the file), or I might be just doing something wrong? (saved as ChatFilter.ini with UTF-8 coding in the same folder as screens/templates, [ChatFilter] line at top then an empty line then the filters?)

i keep the list in my thread at the presearing site updated regularly as i find new ones.

https://presearing.boards.net/thread/3318/ch…ni-idiots-guide

The current list is below, including very old rules if they recycle them.

It works fine even that long with no lag.

When even Red Fireball has no love for a tower will the merchant even take it?

Quote from Red Fireball

Btw that screen you posted of item that dropped for a friend doesn't work - at least for me..

I'll try again...

Quote from ObsidiaN

After getting no spiked clubs in 30 mins I headed to NA to farm some charr

USE ID KIT

Omfg dat crude!

Totally agree on the obby earth staff...

I swear every one i ID is naked.

Yes, they drop as low as q0, the real low req ones obviously can't be gold.

Lah-tee-da Bog is a good spot since its almost all corsairs, mandagor, and insects.
