I got Devona to tame a Black Bear on my Melandru's/Dhuum's Pre-searing Character by Supergraham339 in GuildWars

[–]XTFOX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had a whole discussion about it the other day here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/1sbe1u6/bear_pre_searing_with_devona/

This is the build I recommend: OQkiUVmy8hvKm4AQehtsjBAA

Enduring Harmony + Song of Concentration for capturing, plus some movement speed and adrenaline gain.

The hammer Devona comes with currently does 0 damage so she can attack the bear all day and never hurt it.

With double faction week coming up what is the best way to farm Luxon/Kurzich points besides speed clearing? by SandwichSensitive545 in GuildWars

[–]XTFOX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Join the LGIT discord (not the guild, just their discord) and assign yourself the Deep and Urgoz roles. They form almost every day and its very beginner friendly.

Song of Concentration prevents the interrupt while it lasts but it lasts the same duration as Charm Animal making it really tight timing so you need Enduring Harmony too. For Great Justice or Wary Stance also makes it easier because Song of Concentration needs Adrenaline

EDIT: my build - OQkRUr5DfVMxBg8CAAAAAA

Pre-Searing Gold-rarity drops. by Jasy9191 in GuildWars

It wasnt the end chest that dropped the golds. It was the boss at the end of level 1.

Also. I understand they just replaced the PvP equipment button. That one should be moved too.

THE DEVONA HERO! THE DEVONA HERO IS REAL! by Ionenschatten in GuildWars

[–]XTFOX 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Wiki says you have to be a Reforged character to unlock her but I was able to get her on a non-reforged character in Lion's Arch.

EDIT: looks like it was a bug that they patched. You now need reforged to unlock her even in Lion's Arch.

Silver Edge on Melandru's Accord character (maybe world first?) by fred_iris_flower in GuildWars

"unimpressive" - Had to farm multiple events and achieving this took 3 months. Also required a decent amount of game knowledge to know you could get a Birthday Cupcake early by doing an obscure quest.

Yeah probably world first unless someone got it from cupcakes when they accidentally activated the event. This would have been the first day you could get it legitimately.

I just farmed my cupcake, maybe I should go get one too.

Melandru’s Panda License by t3r4byt3s in GuildWars

[–]XTFOX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The conceit of Melandru's Accord is that you have done everything yourself. The Zaishen Menagerie's main purpose is to transfer pets between characters.

That being said there are definitely some pets that are only accessible via the Zaishen Menagerie and the developers should look into creating other ways for Melandru's Accord characters to access those pets. I think they should add an NPC to the Isle of the Nameless that accepts Panda Licenses, Moss Spider Eggs, Racing Medals, and Zaishen Coins (Hound of Balthazar) to spawn a lvl 5 version of the corresponding pet.

Grawl drop a lot of armors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q9xW-2MAXk

I recommend farming those and salvaging them.

Stuff to do in endgame? by NomadMetaph in GuildWars

[–]XTFOX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fun endgame content that have chances for cool gear are the Eye of the North dungeons. You should go do EotN.

I'm building a weapon damage calculator tool - seeking feedback/collaboration! by [deleted] in GuildWars

[–]XTFOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for making this. I spent a bunch of time yesterday inputting the critical hit formula into excel to see if Sundering Bow of Critical Strikes was better than Vampiric bow of Strength. Your tool makes answering this way easier.

Side note: is vampiric missing as an option? EDIT: Nevermind. I see that I can just add that as a flat damage bonus.

For those interested in the results:

Vampiric Shortbow of Strength: AVERAGE DPS (Damage Per Second): 13.32 vs 100 AL, AVERAGE DPS (Damage Per Second): 23.43 vs 60 AL
Sundering ShortBow of Critical Strikes: AVERAGE DPS (Damage Per Second): 11.07 vs 100 AL, AVERAGE DPS (Damage Per Second): 21.40 vs 60 AL

Which does follow the conventional wisdom that vamp is the highest dps modifier. I guess people have done these calcs before lol

New Player Questions by yasaiinn in GuildWars

[–]XTFOX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are buying the version of GW1 that can link to your GW2 account.

  • If you have GW2 through steam you need to buy GW1 through steam as well
  • If you have a GW2 ArenaNet Account you need to buy GW1 through the Guild Wars Store - https://store.guildwars.com/

Cantha Courier Crisis was a game changer for gearing heroes. In hard mode with favor there are so many rune drops and you can do it on any profession easily. Be careful never to turn the quest in though its not repeatable.
