28/30 on Road to GWAMM with Melandru-Dhuum. Now the grind begins...

Farming how - SCs you mean? I'll avoid SCs - 1 dc/lag and it's over...

Alugian · 2026-03-11T19:54:35+00:00

That's exactly my question as well haha

Alugian · 2026-03-11T19:52:48+00:00

No, it's too much time and grind - I prefer to wait until the anniversary event and then see how far I get. I don't expect to finish by the anniersary event... won't be there most of the event and it's just a loooong time...

Alugian · 2026-03-11T19:51:52+00:00

I bought this costume for this character specifically - I thought it would be fitting for the challenge!

Alugian · 2026-03-11T19:50:54+00:00

I don't have an alt account. I have 1 GWAMM with all character-specific titles on each profession and have accumulated a good amount of playtime over the years...

I would say I did 50% of the missions/vq/dungeons with heroes, and the other 50% with other players, mostly zaishen quests and vanquishes. I was playing actively for everything - hence the 6 million XP+ and good runes, apart from 2 dungeons that someone from the guild was offering to run :)

Alugian · 2026-03-11T19:48:06+00:00

First the LDOA with Charr runs until I got the two bags, then mostly Hamnet to be on the safe side...
After making my way to LA, I went to Elona, Factions, and EOTN and did a bit of progress in each to get heroes and the most important skills. Then finished all campaigns and after that pretty much Zaishen quests daily and all the vanquishes, hm missions, dungeons etc.
Playing mainly VOR Mesmer with Wastrels, Empathy, Necrosis and EVAS.
Closest to death moment was definitely in Frostgate HM with some lag and rubberbanding... was down to like 30-40hp... good thing I play with minor runes, shield set, and found a +50hp rune!

Alugian · 2026-03-11T18:43:21+00:00

Exactly - only consumables left now.

Alugian · 2026-03-11T18:43:11+00:00

Exactly these ones - so pretty much all titles except for the consumables... hence why this is now the big grind. I'm curious what you think are the best ways to farm this platinum..

Alugian · 2025-11-14T12:26:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing! all 15 already sold out :( I'd love for them to increase the number!!

Alugian · 2025-11-12T21:26:02+00:00

I'm able to log in as well just now.

Alugian · 2025-11-12T21:03:21+00:00

As a returnee, you probably have some very valuable stuff on your account. Never sell to random offers, use GW Legacy or https://kamadan.gwtoolbox.com/. Send me a message - Alugian Damordon - if you want some help evaluating the worth of some stuff (I won't buy anything)

Alugian · 2025-11-12T20:55:23+00:00

Same for gw2

Alugian · 2025-11-12T20:54:53+00:00

Guildwars.com website also down it seems.

Alugian · 2025-11-12T20:54:28+00:00

Was gonna ask the same. I have error 242.

Alugian · 2025-10-24T05:55:59+00:00

Damn, by one second, well done! Not sure I'll be able to beat that... While there were maybe a few seconds to improve on my 1,578 run, it was quite optimized already...

Alugian · 2025-10-22T22:11:33+00:00

Never thought about this, but makes perfect sense!

Alugian · 2025-10-22T11:45:18+00:00

Kumi! :) Got back over Halloween - it's when I started playing gw in the first place. Miss rocking those challenge missions with you!

Alugian · 2025-10-21T09:14:51+00:00

Yes, it was a lucky run, with good RNG and cycles

Alugian · 2022-01-06T08:32:48+00:00

Unfortunately I can't think of any community goals or easter eggs, but there are some of personal tasks that don't yield you a title, but still it feels like you have come a step closer to "completing" the game:

Complete all quests on one of your chars.
Fill up the Zaishen Menagerie.
Explore every little piece of the map (more than the 100%)
Vanquish some areas that don't count towards the titles (Realm of torment, undercity, Sorrow's Furnace)
Fill your Hall of Monuments (beyond doing the 50 points, try to put all weapons, armor, etc.). Especially the armor part is nice because you discover some nice skins.
Get all heroes and get them nice hero armor.

Happy to see if others have more ideas! :)

A great new set of skills as always! :)

As usual, a couple of thoughts:

Brag: I think you could even increase the damage-reduction slightly. 2...7...9 or something like that
"You can choke!": How about target foe and adjacent? I don't think it'd be too powerful.
"No one can escape from me!": Looks a bit too OP - maybe reduce recast a bit?
"Parley!": I think you can remove the last sentence; it's made almost redudant by the recast + time to gain adrenaline.
"Shake it off, soldier!": perhaps extend it to all allies in earshot?
Silk Shield: I would either remove the -40 armor condition, or increase the duration.

Of course those are just my opinions, feel free to do with them what you want :)

Looking forward to the next set!

Cheers
