best extra account ? - Guild Wars Forums

coil · Mar 10, 2009, 08:12 PM // 20:12

was thinkin of picking up some extra accounts since they're really cheap with free shipping.

do most people with multi accounts use factions since it's the quickest to kaineng + lunar gifts? or do they use proph since xmas & cc's are in LA?

i'm feelin like its more personal taste but just wondering what the general sentiment was of those who have more experience than myself.

IMO. Start by putting all campaigns on one second account. You don't need to buy the games and then have one campaign on 3 different accounts. The holiday events are only bonus stuff and don't happen that often, but if you have 2 full campaign access accounts you can run GWx2 and run a dual team farm (600/smite) for better drops and double dungeon end chest drops.

i dont think lunar tokens or candy canes matter when you have multiple accounts, they are mostly used for Xunlai Predictions. so i think prophecies is the cheap one, get that.
hope you get lots of keys too ^^

meh, main holidays over canthan holidays

Simply put a $9.99 account is better as prophecies or factions. NF is a waste for an extra account. Make 1 pve char and get them to the first main town or w/e. The other 3 chars on the account make them pvp char.

Yes I currently have 33 accounts 6 with all campaigns/expansions, 20 factions, 6 Prophecies & 1 Nightfall.. To me I rather do Factions since I can then do the boardwalk+other festivals as well as AB/JQ/FA and get skills unlocked faster.

Why the hell would you buy so many...

thanks guys these were the kinds of opinions i was hoping for.

im primarily thinking about zkeys as my main account already has all 4 and i wouldnt have time to actually "play" any extra accounts. but the 600/smite idea is sounds interesting. maybe i should get a 2nd monitor while im at it :P

simply put its the legal way to buy in-game gold.

This month i got 35 keys per account (2) and this is my second ever prediction
so imagine that over 30 accounts

thats 1050 odd, or if your actually in the know about the tournies, and get this every month without fail, in 17-20 months you've maxed zaishen. Which still sounds like a long time tbh, id have a few more accounts if i didnt have better things to spend the money on at the moment, but il definatly get upto 10 max accounts. il settle with 200-400 keys a month

On-Topic: I'd say factions, its really, really easy to get upto lvl 20, and get to balth rewards. Even though you could just create a PVP char for collectiong, thinking about it, it doesnt matter...make a pvp char for collection? unless you actually want to play this account, then its your choice.

And exactly that is why XTH+Z-Keys was the worst addition ever to the game.

Just ridiculous....

gamers like their in-game money almost as much as anet likes their in-real-life money

Simpy my main 6 accounts were bought prior to the ingame store having extra char slots. I admit I am a packrat (Main account 21 chars, 2nd has 16, 3rd has 18, 4th has, 12, 5th has 10, and 6th has 10). Once the ingame store came out I was able to purchase more char slots. I searched around and found Best Buy selling Factions for 9.99. Since then I have simply bought a new account when I needed one. Yes the XTH (3 months of having 10 accounts, I netted approx 26-35 keys per account, since December 11+ accounts im still avg the same) is another factor, but Im not really worried about that title. I have yet to sell a zkey to anyone.

Im helping guildies and friends get closer to titles(sweets and drunkard) they need. I also have a service, see the service section and you will see another reason why I need the extra space.

On-topic: Once again Factions, better opportunities and rewards out of that campaign. BTW yes it is a little difficult remembering what password goes with what email address, but I manage.

imnotyourmother · Mar 11, 2009, 06:28 PM // 18:28

again my 2 cents..

PROPHECIES... PERIOD.

If you can run two accounts at the same time then you need prophecies.. WHY?? NO STORAGE IN PRESEARING.

All of the other games have storage. Pre does not. Therefor you can easily get 100 spots for excellent stuff like runes in pre without having to merchant them. So make all of your toons and sell the DB presents for decent gold.

1st year 5K 2nd year 20K and third year 50K. These are the going rates in pre right now so if you would have done this 3 years ago....you would have 20K in pre right now by selling DB presents. Trade pre gold for post gold at 1:2 and DOUBLE your gold!!

Pre gold is worth twice as much as post gold for those of you that do not play in pre.

So 1 black in pre is worth 2 in post. 7K:14k: or 200K:400K

Get the drift??
