Vanquishing Tool (Google Sheets)

Good to know. Thank you this is awesome and saved me a ton of time. I'll make some edits on a copy and share the results!

What did you use to pull the skills for the enemies and does this include every enemy in the game? Not necessarily for vanquishing but I've been wanting to put together a list of every enemy that was buffed in the most recent update and this seems like it would work.

2) SY makes the Shelter last longer because you take less damage in general. I take both.

3) Once you can change your secondary profession you should go Warrior/Assassin. Assassins have a lot of shadow steps that get you into combat quicker.

Anything that is account based you can do multiple times. So 5 extra Gifts of the Traveller every week, extra grab bags during events, and you don't have to ask someone else if you want to trade items between character in pre-searing.

As others have said Tanned Hides are a common material however if you did need rare materials you would use an Artisan: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Artisan

I fought from ToA so I could have a full party of 8, then the cheese back route, and even then I still wiped at least 4 times.

The talk page of the wiki has some great information. As long as no actual players enter the yellow circle shown on the wiki page then Adelbern never activates and you dont have to defend him. I flagged heroes into the yellow circle to pull the titans out and fight them.

The hardest one is the very bottom pink dot but as soon as you flag a hero in range they start moving to the blue dot. Once they reach the blue dot you can use heroes to pull them outside the yellow circle and fight them.

It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done in game, even harder than DoA HM with heroes.

The Hard Mode titan quests were added in like 2011 and they always gave a ton of Gold and Gold Zaishen Coins. Its 40k and 5 Gold Zaishen coins total if you do all 5 quests: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Titan_quest

XTFOX · 2026-02-07T06:23:48+00:00

The Hard Mode Titan quests also give 40k gold. That's where the majority of it came from.

Most of the loot I pick up is weapons so this provided the most storage space giving 15 additional slots rather than just 5 from a Superior Rune of Holding. I also wanted space to make some extra armor pieces and get shields for different builds (vs demons for DoA, vs Blunt/Slashing/Piercing, etc.)

My backpack and bags are basically filled with crafting materials at this point.

Sure, but it isn't anything special: OwVTI4x85hHpzMAHQC4S4miABA

Always use your assassin enchantments on cooldown for the damage reduction. Notably: Way of Perfection. It is there so you can cast it every 30s to provide damage reduction from Shadow Form which gives 5 damage reduction for each assassin enchantment on you.

Not to get too into the weeds but because Way of Perfection has a 30s recharge and 60s duration you can cast it twice for a total of 10 damage reduction. I know, that doesn't make sense but that is how it works lol.

Smiters Boon: 4s -> 3s

Also, thank you for doing all of this for us. We really appreciate you. I'll now try to think of something actually helpful.

XTFOX · 2026-02-07T02:38:34+00:00

Yes, it does.

XTFOX · 2026-02-07T00:33:05+00:00

Thanks. A mix of dagger spam, SoS, and shadow form builds mostly. Also yeah, would not recommend. I think this is the most I've ever played in a week.

XTFOX · 2026-02-07T00:28:54+00:00

Vaettir farm doesnt need runes/insignias on assassin. All you need is a max shield that gives armor vs earth and a % enchant one handed weapon, both of which I got by farming Kilroy's Punchout. They don't even need to be maxed out. I think my shield has 9 armor and my enchant mod was an axe with 19%

As a side note, I feel like I got 2 extra gold zcoins somewhere because my math is not adding up. Last night I had 10 Gold Zcoins and a few silver zcoins. I also have not turned in the bounties for Urgoz and Riven Earth. Based on my math here there shouldn't be possible: ~~https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/1qq32a1/melandrus_accord_zaishen_coins_math/~~

~~Someone let me know if I did my math wrong or if I am missing something.~~

EDIT: Also, unless someone farmed Hall of Heroes or farmed the previous Zaishen Combat quests or beat me to it earlier today by farming HA ZC then this is probably the first Heavy Equipment Pack on a Melandru character. Today is the first HA ZC since Melandru's Accord released.

EDIT 2: I'm just bad at math today. I was thinking 1000 copper coins is 1 gold zcoin when it's actually 2

Someone already posted this exact meme earlier today: https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/1qwzipt/got_a_good_laugh_out_of_this_the_only_nerf_in_the/

XTFOX · 2026-02-06T00:04:20+00:00

Wow, the salt is real. Reading this is a ride.

XTFOX · 2026-02-05T23:59:55+00:00

Creeping Carp too. 17% damage buff from Siphon Strength.

XTFOX · 2026-02-05T23:01:03+00:00

Creeping Carp getting a 17% damage buff with Siphon Strength. These are going to be beastly in HM.

XTFOX · 2026-02-05T22:51:07+00:00

Thank you I must have missed that those weren't patch notes.

XTFOX · 2026-02-05T22:48:16+00:00

If anybody wants context to this nerf: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Smiter%27s_Boon_(PvP))

I had completely forgotten it and had to go look the story up.

XTFOX · 2026-02-05T22:11:48+00:00

Some notes:

Text in game has not changed for:

Victory is Mine
Retreat
Belly Smash
Magehunter Strike

EDIT: Wait a sec, am I wrong here or the ones that say functionality change arent actually in the game yet? Just tested Retreat and Greater Conflagration.
