  • Announcing the Guild Wars Guru Archive

    :( Either I'm doing it wrong or the wayback machine doesn't have an archive of the relevant page of the beloved collections thread. TBH finding the old image would be helpful, but it's more just me being lazy. I still have all the items that were in the image plus a few I wanted to add to that image. It probably is gone since it was anon on imgur or tinypic. I guess I'll just have to see if I backed up my screenshots somewhere or take a bunch of new ones and start over on a new version.

  • Announcing the Guild Wars Guru Archive

    Quote from hey


    I'll post there since Kevin did not answer to my PM :
    "Hey

    Any guru thread with the symbol "%" in his name makes an error : 400 bad request (because there are % in the link)

    any chance to fix that please ?

    thanks for the work"

    I'm not staff or a mod but everything seems to work for me. What browser are you using?
    Images like http://archive.guildwarslegacy.com/14%20Trader%27…nsc%20staff.JPG work for me
    So do threads like http://archive.guildwarslegacy.com/14%20Trader%27…exist_.017.html

    %20 is a space, %27 is ' etc

    Which threads with % in the name are you referring to? I've been looking thru the archive for a while and can't seem to find % as a text character in a thread title, can you point out where to look so I can check if I get the error too?

    Edit just found 02942 The minus 60% DP coffee mug.001.html but it works for me as well.
    ----------
    Why I actually came here

    I'm wondering if there is a way to pull the url of where an image was hosted out of a post in the archive? I had a collection on there but the image was hosted elsewhere so it wasn't saved and is just a broken image. I can't remember where I had it hosted and I lost the original image so pulling the link out of the img bbcode would help. Is the only way viewing the html source?

  • Post Your Favorite Chest Run

    Edit: Marty provided the link to a page of the old Chestrunners Thread. I pulled the maps from some posts and made an album on imgur. Most are from a post by Glorg from 2012. He saved them from other earlier posts in the thread. They are still available on noelshack.com in his post but I decided saving them and posting them elsewhere too might be wise. Many of the maps are in French, some are in English, you can probably figure out where they are just by how the area looks.

    -------------------ORIGINAL POST BELOW--------------------

    I don't know if anyone will like the topic but here goes...

    Mine is in Raisu Palace (explorable) leaving from Imperial Sanctum. I do it in NM and HM. Drops include Forbidden Staves, Oni Weapons, and best of all NO salvageable armor drops. I guess maybe Shiroken don't wear pants. Map shows my usual route, it does change depending on where chests are. The green dots are possible chest locations in range of the marked route that you can see by holding the alt key in game. (I may have missed a couple dots)

  • Open letter to Arenanet regarding goldsellers

    Sorry about posting on an old topic...

    I've often debated on a support request along the lines of...

    "My ignore list is broken. How do I ignore all the RMT websites and bot sellers with only 10 spots in the ignore list?"

    I'm sure such a request would be ignored/deleted but I think it would actually fit in accnt/tech support.

  • So what type of player are you?

    I am strictly PvE, I don't even do FA or JQ (why bother nowadays anyway)

    I do have one alt account. It was my pre storage at first but it has all campaigns and eotn now.

    My favorite game is Factions, I chest run there when I get bored irl.

    What is Meta? My builds are an odd mix of stuff I like. No team is complete without ion cannons, at least two at all times and often more lol

    I have done LDoA before but recently no new Proph characters, the most recent ones were mules smuggling GotHs when I used to visit Nick a lot. I do have a few perma-pre characters.

    I have gotten a Drok's run or Docks ferry in the past. Now I'm more likely to be running someone else there or around the southern shiverpeaks to elite armor spots, eotn tours and docks ferrys.

    Honestly, I really don't do missions much, my game 'progression' has pretty much stopped.Sometimes I do the zm if it's one I like and I'm bored. I've never done a speed clear either.

    I never wipe on purpose, it's fun to watch the one with rez scramble around.

    I don't use cons, I salvage stuff from chest drops and craft cons to sell sometimes.

    I usually play alone, but I'm not against playing with others. I sometimes party with friends if they are on. Mostly I chestrun/farm for items I'm looking for. Since I don't run meta builds most PUGs don't include me, though my odd character builds are sometimes good for a laugh.

    "Hey join us we need a monk"

    "Ok, but I suck as a healer..."

    "That's ok we should be fine it's an easy dungeon."

    "Ummm... ok, but I warned you ;P"

    "WTF?!" 'Ivan is using Ray of Judgement'

    Lol PUG life.

  • PC for Purple Crystalline(non Max) and a few OS Items :)

    vs q11 I see many selling/ buying at around 150e decltype is probably best for current prices on those

    Q10 20/20 core skin air staff is okish, maybe a few ectos but a hard sell since q10 and a usually unloved skin. I'd give it to vekk because he's an airhead X(

    q9 15^50 plagueborn sword I agree with ~50e. Plague items are pretty easy to chestrun outside KC or Vizunah (local) Swords don't drop as much as some other plague items imo, but both those runs are a chest every 1-2 min.

    q9 Divine Symbol isn't merchfood imo, but idk abt a price. It's the chalice skin which imo is more uncommon than the loop one. Yes its mixed df req with hsr smiting but that isn't too bad, +5v phys isn't too bad either. Don't merch it until someone who knows foci gives an estimate.

  • Did you buy GW2?

    I'll keep it relatively short.

    I bought it shortly after release and played fora while but got bored and missed the stuff that made gw special. (Many have mentioned that stuff)

    After a while I tried it again with an ex guildmate but lost interest when she stopped playing. (Not going into why she stopped, I still miss her)

    Another friend started playing gw2 and convinced me to buy HoT. He ragequit after support refused to help with a gem store purchase he regretted. (Not saying support was wrong it was a 'consumable' item... u buy a glider skin and consume the item you get to unlock it) He quit both games gw2 and gw.

    The only reason I have logged in since then is once in a while to chat with ppl who don't play gw anymore, and even that is getting less likely with every large update I would need to do just to chat.

    So yes, I bought that game twice, but I'm not pleased I did.

  • EL Kuuna in presearing

    CLOSED

    Hi, I'm looking for a price check on an EL Kuuna tonic in Presearing.

    Prices in Pre Black Dyes and also Post Ectos/Arms would be helpful.

    Thanks in advance, Looney

    Idk if I'm going to sell it in the future or not so please no PM offers at this time.

    TY for the price checks

  • Search syntax help plz

    I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this under.

    Basically I'm looking for info about the proper syntax to perform searches with multiple keywords. Like how would someone search for "req 9 oni blade" and have results that only include req 9 oni blades?

    That isn't really what I want to search for, but, it's an ok example I think.

    Does search use boolean modifiers or something to signify 'and'? Is the search case sensitive?

    Any help would be appreciated. :)
