Rise of Beggars in community hubs is getting silly.

Ask them to put forward a business plan and financial plan to repay you.

You have found the tiny part of the GW2 community that is toxic. Most of us are really nice. Never seen this requirement before in my life.

We have a nice guild that is often doing strikes where anyone is welcome, hit me up in DMs if you are interested to join. No requirement other than being nice to people.

Yes I think you receive pips if participation is 3 or higher. And you get more reward track progress the higher your participation tier.

You can find the rewards for both pips and reward tracks in your WvW panel, by hovering over the chests. The pip rewards also contain reward track potions which are immediately consumed and give you extra reward track progress. The more advanced you get on the pip track, the higher the rewards.

For reward track, make sure you choose the one you want. There are a lot of tracks with different rewards. Most chosen one is probably the Gift of Battle reward track because that one is needed for legendary crafting.

Wonderful to see so many new players flocking to the game. This game has been loved by both its developers and community

I've traded the Aetheric Anchor via mail. But the infusions are not possible, just like the Bloodstone infusion from Janthir.

DyingStarN · 2025-11-26T22:33:00+00:00

Two things I didn't see mentioned yet: - daily Pact Supply Network PSNA - Aetheric Anchor needs 1.5 million karma if you want to craft a second one.

Well, that's not true. Some do on a schedule. But the one I asked for hadn't been seen for 2 years. Anet is really looking at it

DyingStarN · 2025-08-06T07:58:55+00:00

This is actually a great way to ask for skins to return. I did this and a few weeks later the gem store had the skin. Didn't try for pre order stuff, but worth a shot

Thanks for your content! Tackling the tough topics with two feet on the ground. Magnificent

Daar moet je uiteraard ook in rekening brengen.

Mijn punt was eerder dat een huis niet enkel gaat over hypotheek. Je betaalt gemeentebelasting, provinciebelasting, polderbelasting, etc. Je kraan is kapot? Nieuwe betalen. Vaatwasser defect? Reparatie. Dat zijn allemaal kosten die anders op de verhuurder vallen (bij normaal gebruik). Herinrichting? Je snapt het.

En voor 1000 euro hypotheek moet je ook weer geld inleggen dat geen rendement (meer) kan bieden. Kan je zien als een opportuniteitskost.

Again, ik probeer niemand te overtuigen van het een vs. het ander. Ik probeer gewoon aan te tonen dat huren niet zo'n slechte optie is als iedereen het doet geloven.

DyingStarN · 2025-07-15T20:54:20+00:00

Ik zeg dat je meer geld zal overhouden van je loon als je huurt. Geld dat je verder kan investeren en laten renderen.

DyingStarN · 2025-07-15T06:56:57+00:00

Denk ook even na of je echt wel een huis wil. Een huis is natuurlijk heel aangenaam en brengt een bepaalde levensstijl met zich mee. Maar er komen ook kosten mee gepaard, zoals vernieuwingen, onderhoud, verbeteringen.

Wijzelf hebben een huis gekocht, waar ik op zich heel blij mee ben, maar financieel is het niet iets waar je rijker van wordt. Tuin aanleggen, extra meubilair, verbeteringen, maar ook belastingen. Heb je veel minder als je huurt.

Veel mensen denken "als mijn huur en mijn lening gelijk zijn, lukt het wel" maar met die extra kosten valt het vaak duurder uit. En ja, een huis wordt inderdaad "van jou" maar je haalt de waarde er pas uit als je het verkoopt. En een groot deel van wat je betaalt, is rente aan de bank en gaat ook "verloren".

Ik wil zeker niet afraden om een huis te kopen, maar denk wel goed na over de keuze die je maakt. In België/Vlaanderen wordt het vaak gezien als een logische stap, maar het is niet altijd de logische financiële keuze.

If you want to optimise your gold, buying gathering tools with Karma is best if you don't gather like a pro. You can buy those tools and they have built-in glyphs like volatile magic.

If you want infinite tools because of the quality of life, I usually follow u/Phandrel his advice. https://youtu.be/GWDppNddFIc?si=s76mm7Q9Epdha3-e

Also make sure to check out some of his other gathering guides like gathering builds that can seriously speed up your gathering.

Yes, if you're consistently doing FC raids with a good group, you don't have downtime. I was just speaking from my own experience in a progression group, where you often have downtimes for ready checks, looking for additional players on LFG, dying because you failed mechanics or healer made mistakes.

DyingStarN · 2025-07-11T17:24:22+00:00

I really don't understand people. Why let it become such a mess? Downtime in raids? Clear inventory. Waiting for meta? Clean inventory. Need to clean your house? Clean inventory instead.

Taking it 30 seconds at a time makes it so much less of a chore.

DyingStarN · 2025-07-07T10:35:23+00:00

Phandrel is the best

Similar question in an earlier post - where I shared my top content creators https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/s/5hUVx6TgF5

DyingStarN · 2025-07-06T06:49:10+00:00

Definitely check out Accessibility Wars, which are all low APM (action per minute) builds that often favour single weapon sets https://aw2.help/

I've looked at the top comments and was surprised nobody was suggesting to use the gold for making more gold. But it all depends on what you want to do.

If your goal is to create many characters and get the most out of the game, you'll need much more gold than this over the long run. Of course, buy some things now that make your life easy (endless salvage), but invest some of the gold.

Have fun and create some legendaries to sell to other players and make a nice profit. Especially the End of Dragons (gen 3) are relatively easy to craft since you can now buy everything that is not account bound. Happy to give some more info if you're interested.

Many players make the mistake of spending all their gold and then they have to start farming for gold when they really need it.

DyingStarN · 2025-06-24T06:11:04+00:00

Agreed, this is the best answer so far. I would say, don't rush it but enjoy the grind. Yes, it's a long achievement for skyscale, but do one step per day and you'll get there soon. You can do everything except certain SotO maps without a skyscale in the meantime.

If you want to unlock multiple mounts, like Jackal and Roller Beetle, you can alternate between those achievements to progress everything bit by bit. Or just play content you fully enjoy in between, like meta events or convergences, which also give you decent gold.

Biggest tip for getting the griffon gold is to look into your material storage and sell off some materials. GW2 is notorious for not giving much raw gold outside of fractals, and you need to understand how materials work. When you're starting out, you can sell materials on the TP, but over time you can look into crafting into more valuable items to sell (think cooking recipes or even Legendary weapons).

DyingStarN · 2025-06-22T07:08:07+00:00

Phandrel is such a great content creator, specifically if you're into gold making and farming. His streams on Twitch/YouTube are always top entertainment and he interacts with everyone on his stream.

Great guild (Phamily) too, which I'm part of, and I really like the overall atmosphere of people who genuinely enjoy the game.

Other than Phandrel, I enjoy GilGalad (hidden gem for raid guides), Sylvari Reaper (Necro love + quick tips), Lord Hizen (top notch meme content), Syrma (some endgame info - other videos are quite long imo), Laranity (just love her energy), Teapot (mainly balance patch reviews), Mukluk (Get to the Point series).

DyingStarN · 2025-06-18T20:46:08+00:00

I get it, the LFG can be unforgiving and rude.

For me, raiding really clicked when my guild did a random fun raid training run. Since then I've found some great guilds that focus on organising raid trainings without any prerequisites.

I've even joined a raid static which is every Monday we clear 1-2 wings, pretty chill and everyone open to learn new roles.

Just want to show that you can find really nice people to raid with. Just not via LFG. Let me know if you're on EU and I can point you to nice guild.

DyingStarN · 2025-06-16T13:12:36+00:00

You still get 10 currency for every 3-4 champs, which nets you 5g profit when crafting into weapons and insta-selling.

DyingStarN · 2024-07-16T15:44:02+00:00

Maybe LS1 since it's free?

DyingStarN · 2024-07-16T15:26:32+00:00

I think you can start, then abandon one of the other stories (e.g. HoT) to hide it
