I don't remember what things like 20/20 curse wand mean

Explain basic armour stuff?

Whats the fastest way to look up skills? Wiki?

Whats a basic build that can breeze through ... uh what ever the newer game is with the new city (I hate starting there)...

Umm... ya anything that can be a refresher for me or things like IAS= increased attack speed(?) and things like that

Sorry, but i'm comming back soon...

I'm not sure of 20/20 is on wiki. It means that you have a wand or idol with a 20% hct (see the link below) and a 20% hsr mod.
40/40 means a wand+idol with both mods.

Rest is on wiki (either http://guildwars.wikia.com or http://wiki.guildwars.com )

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Guil...ssary_of_Terms. -> for all your abbreviations

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/20/20

20/20 is also on Wiki, both meanings of it relating to Wands/Foci and Sundering.

I'm moving this to Q&A, it's all too general for Campfire.

*Darcy* · Sep 30, 2008, 11:12 AM // 11:12

Faure has explained the 20/20 question, so for the rest:

1. Armor on wiki http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Armor

2. Skills on wiki http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Skill

3. Necro basics at Campfire subforum sticky http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10241271
although as you don't say which new city, you will have to choose the appropriate build for breezing.

4. IAS - you will need to browse the necro forum for discussions

imnotyourmother · Sep 30, 2008, 01:44 PM // 13:44

yes the 20/20 also has the MOST expensive mod for it. Forget Me Not Inscription. I have paid 18,000 to 25,000 for one. They are Nice though.

As they said above the Wiki is nice. What chapter do you have? If you have Prophicies then check out www.presearing.com

There are a lot of good things on there on how to start to play
and play well

Never knew that they cost that much, but collector weapons are much cheaper. I just picked up a Fire 20/20 Offhand today for 5 Dune Burrower Jaws.

carnage-runner · Sep 30, 2008, 06:06 PM // 18:06

amen to that. Collector items for heroes and casters in general are so easy to get.

imnotyourmother · Sep 30, 2008, 07:00 PM // 19:00

Well I am just saying that the Forget Me not inscription that I like to use costs me that much. I normally find stuff on the ground after killing Snow wurms that work quite well. Like the Fire Prism and Dragons Breath Wand. I modded both of them so that they are 20/20 and 20/20 giving me a 40/40 Fire Ele.

Kinda nice if I do say so myself and that to me is worth the investment of 25K.

*Darcy* · Sep 30, 2008, 07:09 PM // 19:09

@imnotyourmother - wasn't knocking you, I spend for my characters also. Just depends what you want, it's only ingame gold. It's not like you're spending the rent money on shinies. ArenaNet's not going to repossess anything. My heroes get collectors or drops.

@OP - link to necro collector weapons on the wiki http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_...lector_weapons

NOTE: But I have gone through the bags on all 10 characters and moved my sole "Forget Me Not" inscription to a mule. Just making sure I don't stupidly forget the value and give it away.

Tyce · Oct 03, 2008, 01:42 AM // 01:42

Wow.. Thanks a lot..

Any important acronyms i should know? o.o

HawkofStorms · Oct 03, 2008, 01:52 AM // 01:52

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Abbreviations

Well, here is another list of some acronyms you can look up if you ever get stumped.

Fundamental stuff that you'll see in towns
"lfg" - looking for group
"glf" - group looking for
"WTS" - want to sell
"WTB" - want to buy

Clarissa F · Oct 03, 2008, 03:15 AM // 03:15

A few more...

DPS - damage per second. pips - arrows of degen/regen on your energy/health bar, equal to 1 point of energy per 3 seconds, or two points of health per second. GG - good going(bad). GJ - good job(good). GL HF(good luck and have fun).

Oh, and e-denial - something that doesn't work on boss AI and HM.
