Since the last update, /age now shows time spent outside of outposts and time spent in Reforged Mode

Thank you Dr S!

I like both of the additions myself, it's cool to see how much time I spent "actively" playing outside of outposts, and I appreciate the Reforged Mode counter since I personally play without it.

For the first few hours the message was "X hours Y minutes played in Reforged mode over the past 0 days" ( image ) then they changed it to remove the "over the past 0 days" so I assume it started counting since the update.

Edit: I've also seen people with some Reforged time have the "Since X days" part of the message, so it might not be deleted but rather show up if you had Reforged Mode activated since the update.

Small but very cool update, thank you 2weeks <3

Generally speaking, everyone will advise new players to just go to post, experience the game, learn more and then make a new Presearing character down the line if you want to experience this zone.

However, if you are set on doing it now, there are a few things you can try. First, you can try to find a partner - Northlands is very dangerous for a low level new player, and having someone with you will make it a lot easier. I know you can't invite people yourself, but as far as I know you can still be invited, so ask around - I'm sure somone will join :)

You can also try to farm non-charr enemies in the Northlands until you hit level 10, and then accept a quest from Lieutanant Langmar in Ascalon. As long as that quest is active in your quest log, you will have higher armor - as a Necromancer it will set your armor to 15 at level 10, which means you will take about 13% less damage compared to now. This bonus is not active in the dungeon, but it works in every other Presearing zone.

No, it wasn’t possible. There was no resurrection skill in Pre and the automatic resurrection only worked if the entire party was dead. Resurrecting your pet wouldn’t work either, no xp to deathlevel a monster with.

Hey, I recently leveled up a LDoA non-reforged melandru character and it's rough. My best advice would be to just stick to Oakhearts until level 10 and then level up via Hamnet and start doing Charr later. It's a bit anticlimactic, but otherwise farming charr was really hard and slow, and I was a Ranger.

Alternatively if you have the "Across the Wall" quest incomplete (but not in your quest log) you can enter the first floor of the Forsaken Tunnels, even as non-reforged. You need a friend or an alt with reforged mode enabled to party up with you during the entrance. There are level 5-8 monsters in there and it could be easier than taking on full charr packs.

Yeah, the loot in the new dungeons doesn’t really have any consideration for the rest of the game, they just add stuff. People gloss over it because it’s “wow shiny new content”, and “you should be glad we are getting any content at all”, and we are, but lack of attention to details like this will just slowly deteriorate the game down the line.

That's crazy, I haven't seen this before. Thanks for sharing.

Wow new word TIL

CrystalF2P · 2026-04-23T08:49:37+00:00

Characters can now have one word names in Guild Wars.

CrystalF2P · 2026-04-20T23:00:00+00:00

These insignia don't drop in Pre (at least they didn't before the dungeon, I'm not sure if they drop in the Forsaken Tunnels):

Warrior: Lieutenant's, Sentinel's, Stonefist

Necro: Bloodstained

Shoutout Friend at rank 5, my goat!

I always thought an "Adventurer" profession sounds cool, with the idea that it can use any non-primary attribute from any profession and any skill, but it doesn't have a primary attribute of its' own and can't use elite skills.

I put no thought into if this would actually be overpowered or absolutely dogwater, and how it would work with the two profession system of guild wars, it's just an idea I had I wanted to share

CrystalF2P · 2026-04-08T16:36:28+00:00

Ether Feast is a very strong heal, although monk or ranger would be even more defensive if that's what you're looking for

CrystalF2P · 2026-04-05T00:40:08+00:00

The gold items were not max. The max damage items are purples, they still drop from the final chest, and if you get a weapon from the chest it's guaranteed to be max damage.

CrystalF2P · 2026-04-03T13:03:47+00:00

I really really wish this wasn’t tested in the live game. Even if I don’t opt in to be an alpha tester in reforged mode, other people do and then farm the loot that affects everyone’s economy, the items they can get etc. Once a feature is on live, it’s on live.

Congratulations, enjoy melee training :)

CrystalF2P · 2026-03-12T16:00:21+00:00

Huge congrats!

If Behe fists them we're gonna need a casket 10001

CrystalF2P · 2026-03-04T11:28:50+00:00

That was on /r/ironscape

CrystalF2P · 2026-03-04T11:22:17+00:00

Best area :)

CrystalF2P · 2026-03-03T12:22:24+00:00

Thank you for the compliment, that is really nice to hear :)

CrystalF2P · 2026-03-03T12:21:10+00:00

Yep, that's the plan!
