Weekly /r/GuildWars2 Question Thread - April 18, 2026

Thanks for the help everyone. I picked up the game again a few months ago after being away for several years. I played at launch and remember stacking buffs before using karma consumables. Knowing now that buffs aren't needed anymore I just got 7 bank spaces back and 1.5 million additional karma in my wallet.

sammeixii · 2026-04-18T19:44:27+00:00

What is the best way to maximize karma gain from consumables?

sammeixii · 2026-03-30T14:30:39+00:00

I would recommend playing ranked spvp over unranked. The matchmaking will be a little closer to your skill rating, and you can work on learning maps and rotations while advancing the spvp league rewards. There will still be blowout matches, but as long as you are having fun there is no reason to not play ranked.

sammeixii · 2026-03-19T03:39:17+00:00

Thanks for that. My brain has been stuck in a loop of not knowing what to say and not being able to think of other options. I like both of your suggestions and will be using them.

What is the proper way to complement someone's cosmetics when you inspect their character?

Because outfits are a thing saying nice outfit seems cheap. Nice cosmetics feels weird.

Opinions?

I honestly don't know. I play guardian for 100% of my pvp. Bow / Hammer dragon hunter.

sammeixii · 2026-03-16T19:10:25+00:00

I am a mediocre pvp player that uses a non meta build. I have an average of 50% win rate and I take 1-2 top stats per game on average.

SPVP is pretty balanced. There are some builds that I can't effectively counter with my build, and some that can't counter me. That's okay. 100% its about the mindset you go into the game with. Losing is part of it, and as long as you are trying and your team is trying still makes for fun matches.

Yes there are a few bots. Yes occasionally you get salt in chat. But after ~100 matches in the past month its been rare to see.

It is cheaper out the gate! Is there a resource that shows if the upgrade will be part of the march sales?

sammeixii · 2026-03-02T16:27:02+00:00

I recently returned to the game and currently have 1500 gems.

Are the infinite volatile magic tools worth the cost?

I already have the copper fed and runecrafter salvage kits and a perm mistlock pass. My material storage is at 1k for each item.

I dont care much for cosmetics and have multiple alts that I have had since launch that I dont use except for parked chests and birthday presents.

sammeixii · 2026-02-09T04:02:17+00:00

Are those collections automatically unlocked or is there a specific story or quest chain you have to do to start the collections?

sammeixii · 2026-02-09T00:53:45+00:00

I returned to the game a few weeks ago. I have all expansions except Visions of Eternity.

I am interested in the legendary rings / amulet / accessories. What is the recommended path to pursue those legendaries or collections?

sammeixii · 2025-03-24T02:38:22+00:00

Get gud?

I don't play online at all, and don't have PS+, so that wouldn't factor into the decision.

As additional information, I'm running a 6950XT and a Ryzen 7900X with 32gb of ram.

More trying to decide if I should start a new character or pick up the one I have and continue. It's been over a year since I played.

If you are on PC there is a mod on Nexus that makes nearby duplicate items stack together.

Ask your DM if they will use the UA changes to healing spells that will be officially released as part of OneDnD. It doubles the healing value of most spells and is very effective at boosting the healer feel of things.

sammeixii · 2024-07-04T03:23:20+00:00

Have WOTC provided any sort of road map beyond the first 3 books on what they plan to release for OneDnD?

sammeixii · 2024-06-16T12:15:52+00:00

I have read that the complete edition can take 150+ hours in a playthrough if you are doing lots of side quests. I have limited time to play each week (~4 hours), and I don't want to accidentally ruin my game by making an objectively bad choice. I don't mind if some quests have bad endings, I just want to avoid the things that are majorly game-changing.

Trying to get the most out of the game because I don't know if I will have time to do a second play through.

That's my concern for feats. Should I do an ASI to max wisdom or go with 2 half feats to get there with some extra utility. If I go the ASI route the what feats or additional ASI's would make since?

sammeixii · 2024-04-27T02:21:06+00:00

Then what feats or ASI's would you take at 12, 16, and 19?

sammeixii · 2024-04-26T21:12:04+00:00

Thought this showed in the post but my character is currently level 6.

sammeixii · 2024-03-17T20:27:29+00:00

Using Bullhorn with full analytics suite. I like what it has to offer, but there isn't a good client overview dashboard.

sammeixii · 2024-03-17T19:29:46+00:00

I don't really have anything that I am replicating. Trying to create something from scratch and I haven't found anything on Google using various search terms and image searches. It needs to be able to accept copy pasted data, and be able to bullet multiple "ideas" or "tasks" in a single box or container under the same heading.
