Yup, I was looking at this guide http://dulfy.net/2012/10/03/gw2-endgame-gearing-guide/ and a few topics on GW2Guru which made some good points so my original “just get berserker’s everything from crafting and fuck every single dungeon ever” idea kind of went out the window.
^ What’s wrong with that mindset? I’m full Berserker’s set w/ my Ranger. Haters gon hate.
I’m not completely glass cannon though, my trait points are distributed 20-30-10-10 and a couple of my runes are magic find ones. But everything else from armor to the accessories and weapons I crafted myself. So far I’m 400 in 6 of 8 professions. Only Artificing and Armorsmithing left. I thought crafting would take me a long time to complete but turns out it’s easy as fuck.
No problems with dying. My pets tank in PvE and WvW I just follow the zerg.
My only problem with crafted gear is the exotics are ugly. I want the tier 3 cultural armor set to transmute but that costs 120G to buy. LOL fuck that. I’d rather play more Tekken Tag 2 where it’s much easier to earn coin so I can play the dress-up minigame.
Charr tier 3 is so sexy though. Only reason I ever rolled anything except a femnorn.
If only the Sylvari weren’t so flat chested, I’d totally play one

sigh, have to go to work in 5 minutes. prices probably blown up by the time i get home.
Hit 80, got bored. It’s all Karma Farming. fukkit.
Studiotraffic: GW2 Edition?
Be glad you had work and didn’t lose money falling for a lame attempt to drive up prices in TP. Notice the staffs didn’t disappear from inventory after he pressed forge and that’s just the obvious part. The shitty low res video quality and barely audible voice are another couple red flags.
Hope they add appearance change soon. Also, where do I buy new town clothes? My current char isn’t slutty enough.
And what server are most folks on? I been thinking about transfering… cuz I am apparently on the unofficial RP server, Tarnished Coast. Idk why my 2 buddies picked it. Gonna ask if they want to transfer. It sucks not having people to play with though, because they are both 80 already.
TP only at the moment, so you have to buy gems with them with your hard earned gold!
I was on Aurora Glade, but CoF got bugged there the day I went to try it so I transferred to Tarnished Coast because a friend was there, I too am surprised at just how many RP Guilds there appear to be here.
so apparently you cant visit this site from china
what i did with my warrior was wear all dps gear and use all soldier (or dolyak…i heard the regen is kinda bad though) runes. getting gear isnt that hard you just mash on dungeons and since you get a lot more tokens now it’s not as bad as before.
What? No you don’t, tokens got hit with a nerf, you used to get 60 for each run, regardless of what character you are on and how many times you went, now you start with 60 and it diminishes on each consecutive run, 60, 20, 10, then it can be random, 20, 10, 5. You get 60 tokens for doing a different path, but any repeats gives you a diminishing return. If you change characters, you can do the same runs again for 60 tokens a piece, but you often need to leave about an hour cooldown or you get stiffed with 30 tokens instead of 60. So no, you certainly don’t get more tokens now, the only positive change is that you can now share tokens between characters.
Tokens actually were buffed, you used to get 20 tokens no matter what at launch. Though people used to do things like first run bosses for 5 then reset the dungeon. Now you get all tokens at the end.
there was also a time where dungeon rewards didn’t scale with level, and so nobody wanted to do TA or SE since those dungeons were not 80.
Uhhh Ok so this is how tokens works
Do a path for the first time today : 20 normal + 40 bonus for daily = 60
Do the same path again: 20 normal + no daily bonus = 20
Do the same path again: 10
Do a different path: 20 normal + 40 bonus = 60
Etc
Before the daily bonus was only 10 but you could do a path as much as you want. So i guess if you have a lot of time then this is actually fewer tokens but overall its less time spent in the dungeon (even counting cof1 spam imo).
How long does it take exactly to complete the explore paths for dungeons? I haven’t even done any story modes for the 70+ dungeons. Seems like you have to dedicate a fixed amount of time for dungeons which isn’t really compatible for someone like me who tends to alt-tab the game a lot or go afk to do something else.
At least the token rewards for running dungeons are consistent, something I can’t say in WvW. I get like 1 badge of honor for every 4 or 5 kills in WvW. Good thing is none of the WvW armor and weapon skins are attractive to me, I’m just there to kill invaders.
In a good group, on the easy routes, 15-20 minutes. Add maybe 5-10 minutes if you’re playing with a pug.
If you’re doing one of the hard routes with a pug it could be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on exactly which route it is and exactly how bad your pug is.
Any of you guys in the order of the whispers? If so, can you transmute the light leggings at the end of the quest line onto something cheap then mail it to me (shouldn’t cost too much to by it from the order base)? I’ll compensate you for it.
edit: it actually doesn’t work even when you transmute, it still is soulbound
It’s soulbound even if you slap it on a white level 1 item?
Yep. I bought the legging on my brothers mesmer and tried to use a fine transmutation stone on acolyte pants. I even tried to different the stats and keep the style (yea i wasted 2 stones haha).
My warrior
I normally hide helmets but I really like how this looks. I might get better gloves. Not a big fan of them to be honest. Still working on my dye colors and such. Could use some tweaking.
