try picking up the quest "memories of purity" first on ur character if they did WoC it might be the quick solution.

On characters new to cantha its probably the quest "welcome to cantha" or something doing it.

I'll see if I have anyone who hasn't gone to KC yet to help figure it out if I find time.

Sent a mule to KC for the first time, she just did Mhenlos Request for la>kc and picked up Welcome to Cantha (primary for non fact. char) but that group is there. If they are missing and ur characters don't have elsewhere in factions its gotta be one of the quests in KC

Good Luck!

i do that one quite often, no quest required, idk why they aren't there for you xD

I'm guessing its a secondary quest, possibly from in kc that removes that spawn... or maybe even that first find master togo quest when you get to cantha does it (not sure) since that spawn is nearish where his first location is.

the poster above me's hammer's favorite lullaby is Maxwell's Silver Hammer by The Beatles.

Same movie from home, (wow first run movies on a streaming service? )

It's over 30min just to get to a decent theater, so yeah, home it is.

Plus cheaper soda, candy, and popcorn... and REAL BUTTER!

So, say you went to the movies...

Buy overpriced candy/soda/popcorn there

or

Buy it cheap at a regular store and smuggle it in?

google

beer pong

the poster above me has a reasonable outlook on reasons.

Nice! You running south from Seafarers in SS? I haven't done that one in ages I should try it again sometime, maybe i'll get lucky

My best jellyfish I ever got was a 10/10 earth one, I forget the req tho.

x-mas is usually ham in my house, but, we're doing ham for thanksgiving so I guess turkey?

Better with turkey: Cranberry sauce or Gravy?

the poster above remembers when hot pants were popular in real life and not just an odd fashion choice for mesmer females in gw.

butter

The poster above forgot about mesmers...

...so can't we all just get along and agree...

...everyone hates mesmers.

If any profession needs sticking up for, its those poorly dancing mesmers.

I use keep a second shortcut with the -repair thing and its helped a few times.

I maybe should have mentioned... if you add -repair to your main gw shortcut you use to login it will now just check the dat and try to fix errors and quit. Make a seperate shortcut to gw.exe as the target then add -repair after the " and label it 'GW-Repair' or something.

If you added -repair to your regular gw shortcut and gw won't run just delete -repair it will login like normal again.

look at https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

Perhaps the -repair command line argument can help (assuming it was an online install, not from disks)

the poster above me is stashing extra halloween candy around her house.

it's what she calls "Survival Candy" and is so she can surreptitiously beat candy cravings throughout the year.

cake

the poster above spends her pennies on stuffed cheese for her stuffed mice.

its more expensive than cheese stuffed stuff due to difficulty so it takes lots of pennies.

_{(Have you ever tried to get anything to stay stuffed inside runny cheese?)}

the poster above me should beware...

_{...3d printed lockpicks break more often than 'real' ones.}

Q9 Kukris +5e ← 10e

Oh... the only proper dye-job on a Golden Pillar is 2 pink + 1 purple.

depends,

Eternal Bow for Rangers because recurve is better for them

Storm Bow for the rest as a long range pull bow

Chaos Gloves or Blindfold?

(yes, you must choose ONE _{or none lol})

candy cane

side note: cleaning up the mess after your dog finds and eats a bag of candy corn isn't fun.

Cider or Eggnog?

The poster above me hasn't heard about Fiep's failed The Muppet Show audition...

"You aren't quite furry enough and you lack goofy eyes and an animated mouth so we're going to have to pass. It's admirable you would accept payment in cookies, but, we are unsure if a stuffed cookie loving mouse character is needed, we just hired this blue guy."

the poster above me may have realized my plans also work to have less rodent houseguests in the winter...

by feeding them at the neighbors so they go there instead.

the poster above me is also unwilling to admit she goes door to door handing out candy corn to all the neighborhood mice...

thats right...

HALLOWEEN CANDY DELIVERY!

_{You heard it here first, its true! Honest!}

the poster above me should admit to their strange halloween tradition...

of trying to crossbreed the 'perfect' stuffed mouse from her many...

and bringing it to life with a bolt of lightning!

Beer.

Bottles or Cans? (Or home kegerator lol)

1st, 2nd,... 6th and 7th "Present"s can be traded like all 1st-7th year Presents.

That said Vouchers and "Surprise Box"es can't be put into the trade window, so, can't be sold.

You need to use ur vouchers for "Box"es and open them, then sell the contents somewhere.

With them most ppl get either 6th or 7th.

6th for tonics, which have a limited appeal, especially in Post due to tons of ageing players. In pre Kuuna sells well tho 100-120bd last I knew, but 100e max in post.... the thing is the pre bd to post currency is ~5bd=1arm so pre is the better spot if you get lucky.

7th for the random purple-green mini with a chance of those certain few actually semi-worthwhile 'non-birthday' minis (Naga, Oni, Shiro'ken, Zhed, Vizu) which are a rare thing from 7th presents/boxes... those are worth it but the rest are trashcan/giveaway/few k.

Presearing.Boards.Net Mini/Tonic General PC is a good resource for pre prices, and relatively well updated.

and Kamadan.Decltype.org searches can show you Post prices.

Tl;dr better to sell in pre, but depends on your luck opening them yourself.

Thanks for the info Looney! It does sound very appealing and if I can assign those keys to my skillbar it might make things alot easier!

The thumb buttons by default are 1 thru 0 and -/= on the keyboard top row even without drivers. Everything can be remapped or short macros once you install the drivers from logitech. I use it as skills for 1-8 then 10-12 is f1-f3.

Nobody has mentioned the rows/columns, it leads to 'odd' build templates. My self heal is always button 4, enchants are like 7 or 8.... that isn't too weird. My sin has his 1-3 attack chain but moebius strike is in slot 6 because button 6 is behind button 3. I often do eotn tours/droks,etc and chest run if using a DS+<run skill> combo I have ds in 4 and the run skill in 7 behind it.

Tl;dr stick spam/needed skills in easiest for you spots

The poster above me noticed that sometimes things need a moderate amount of moderating.

I guess I am the only one who almost exclusively uses the mouse and not the keyboard, guess my left hand just likes to do no work outside of c and space

Sorry for dbl post,

C and space are on my mouse, so is Y which is set to target next item (chests/drops). My setup is made for mouse only chest running sometimes. Yes, I use wasd for 'labor intensive' times but by no means 'all' the time... or even possibly 'most'.

Quote from Ddraeg

I've used an old Logitech gaming mouse for a while but it only has the forward and backward buttons for your thumb, how do you find the thumb buttons? Are they easy to use or is it a bit tricky to get use to?

Its pretty easy to get used to the thumb buttons on the g600.

As Crimson Raven said the hardest is the 10-12 row, but g600 beats naga for those.

On the naga the thumb button grid is flat with only bumps on every other row to help id them. It comes with stickers to 'train' you on button placement.

The g600 approach was to arrange them in 'cups' for lack of a better word. 1-3 and 4-6 are the front 'cup' used with the tip of your thumb. 7-9 and 10-12 make up the rear 'cup' and with practice you can use the ball of your thumb (the joint) to use them. It helps if you have 'hitchhiker thumbs' (where holding your thumb out the top joint by the nail extends backwards)

At worst, if you get one, you will be able to use 1-9 for skills/whatever and there is the option for the 3rd mouse button (or w/e you set) to be like a 'mouse shift' so 'ms + other mouse button' = moar possible combos.

If you don't mind shift combos its like 2x the possible button assignments of a razer naga... and more solidly built... believe me i've been thru about 8 nagas so far over the past years.

keyboard i use wasd to move

1-8 on number pad is my party members, 0 toggles my pet commander for rangers/pre characters with pet to tank on charr runs.

C for closest target foe, tab to cycle target foe.

mouse is logitech g600 (used to use razor naga, logi has more buttons)

left/right click is normal. 3rd button is space, left/right scroll wheel targets chests/items

1-8 mouse thumb buttons for skills, 9-12 is weapon sets, sometimes 9 is other things if I only use 3 weapon sets on the character

one button on top of mouse is 'r' to run

In pre 9 on mouse is usually a macro to select my charr partner and cast healing breeze on them

os factions dragon staff > bone dragon staff > ugly pink useless stick you would merch even at q9

Edit: or stick a measure for measure insc on it and salvage it to iron/dust...

thats where all mine end up.
