heres a few little known facts, You can use a War/necro riptoes deadly riptoes GB build to farm dryders on perdision rock. You can regain the old undyed look on your 15k grotto glads armor with a yellow/grey dye mix (for those guys who tryed plain grey or brown dyes and hate it) You can 2 man dragons lair with a 55 monk and anything else. You just have to die at the start of the lvl to get rid of +2 moral boost( i did it with a ranger/monk) You can 55 the 15 point att quest from Aurgury Rock, just watch out for the jades in the last zone. You can run from harvest temple to all the towns on the luxon side except gala hatchery and above

Here's One: Cows in sunqua vale CAN be killed. Use AOE such as Inferno or Death Nova or even cyclone axe. They DO NOT drop items are level 3 so they give crappy XP

Heres another: Gwen is behind the Lich, Abaddon, Shiro, the Searing, the Destruction of Orr, the Mantids in Sunqua Vale, White Dye's Outreageous Price and the nerfing of Farm Builds.......

This isn't a thread about 'little known facts', this is a thread about misinformation and commonly known facts.

Maybe you should just go to another thread. I've been playing this game for over a year and I review this site every day and there were quite a few things in this thread I didn't know. This stuff isn't documented, so this is the best way to disseminate the info. Kudos to those who want to help spread the wealth.

Input from the rest of you is not particularly helpful.

Here's some interesting facts:
All Non-endgame greens can be sold at the merchant for 35g.

If a Necro uses a ranger preparation, he will do his normal casting animation then clap for 3 seconds at the end.

Prospero · Nov 09, 2006, 06:14 PM // 18:14

You can use Necrotic Traversal to get to places you shouldn't be able to go. Not only can you use this to your advantage to easily get the bonus in Dunes of Despair, but also you can try it on Frost Gate (go hang out with Rurik), Great Norhtern Wall, and several other places. As many know from the ele nuking that happens in THK, Guild Wars doesn't handle the Z-Axis properly. Using Necrotic traversal on a corpse under a bridge will put you ON TOP of the bridge instead. Useful trick for getting 100% Tyria.

I believe all alcohols last the same amount of time its just how may it takes to get drunk and EVERY alcohol lasts longer than 1-3 seconds (probly a typo and meant minutes)

RANGERS WITH PETS CAN NOT PULL, your pet goes in screaming Leroy Jenkins, then they switch to the pet to kill it. Best person to pull in game is a tank with a flatbow get the agro step back a little then your party can come in. I say again RANGERS WITH PETS CAN NOT PULL. If u have a pet and need to pull use your agro buble that way you pet doesnt leroy jenkins.

99% of people spamming wts will try to sell u that item at an outrageous price this also apply to people saying no noob offers

75% of people spamming wtb will try lowballing and then reselling. 24% will try to buy the item for less than its worth.

If it sounds to good to be true its most likely a scam

Sunspear res sig is the best res in game (used to be regular res sig) this can be different in other situations. 6 people in a 8 man pve grp should have sunspear res and monk resurect and 1 rebirth (best on a wammo) to pull people out of sticky situations. If your sigs arnt enough then u are overmatched for the area go switch you build. FOR CHRIST SAKES NO REBIRTH IN BATTLE

LINKSYS that is one of the best sceen shots ive seen i nominate it for screeny of the year. There should be one of these by the way come on admins start one

And finally the best little known GW fact. the recent nerfs/changes such as 6 man HA, the AI, and destroying farming will be the end of guild wars.

Give Gwen her broken flute and enough flowers and she'll eventually stop following you around!

Green items and collector stuffs can't be upgraded or salvage for mods.

Well, first off, I personally am STUNNED that not only did I get more than a reply or 2, but this is starting to almost average 2 pages a day... Thank you all for your input, I will try to edit my original as soon as I can...
Speaking of which, I have noticed that some of you are correcting mistakes I have already corrected. Thank you for pointing them out, but I have it covered

Also, thanks to all the... umm... mean people.... *cough*.... that criticized this information, calling it common, useless, and stuff they already know. As if that is what this thread is about...
So all in all, I am overwhelmed. No, really, I have some homework to do and I had to read 2 pages of replies in a few minutes

I am thinking of starting a new post, Weapon Values or something like it... not a helpful one, just to see what kind of high values other people are getting for their gold weapons... i think my record is like 435g for a gothic sword

I think one thing that would be useful to add is the basic explanation of the way armor affects the amount of damage you take.

There is a 12.5% chance an attack will strike your head
A 37.5% chance an attack will strike your chest
A 12.5% chance an attack will strike your hands
A 25% chance an attack will strike your legs
A 12.5% chance an attack will strike your feet
Therefore you should always buy upgrades to your chestpiece and leggings first if you do not have money for an entire new set.

Any armor added to your weapon, off-hand, or shield, protects you regardless of which location on your body is struck by damage. So if your armor is all AL 60 and you have a +5 Armor staff, it's like having all of your armor be AL 65 whenever you get hit with an attack.

I especially found the information helpful about the fact that armor bonuses on your weapons/off-hands/shields is added to your AL on every hit, no matter where you get hit. Before I read that, I had assumed it was something that randomly added AL protection on some hits, kind of like the 20% less recharge chance is random whenever you cast a spell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't regaining original color the purpose of the new gray dye ? It has replaced the dye remover in function.

Rangers with pets can pull if they are careful. Use a flatbow. While the arrow is in the air back up. There is a delay between your attack and the pet aggroing mobs. That delay, so far as I can tell, doesn't begin until the arrow hits your target. IF you are backing up while the arrow hits, your pet does not register that you are attacking, and can therefore pull without having your pet run off.

Yes they can. It's a technique:

C+ Space to auto attack, and halfway thru the attack animation, simply press S to cancel animation. (The arrow still flies) Your pet will only attack if you let the whole animation persist.

edit: oops sorry, i just realized the person above me said the same thing -,-

But dye remover got the original color back, which was not allways grey

---- also, type a * after an emote, like /dance * for syncing dancing. most people know it allready, but there are still people who don't

Wow!!! I never knew you can whisper some one just buy clicking ctrl and enter, this is helpful, sticky!!

fenix · Nov 10, 2006, 05:43 AM // 05:43

In terms of the radar, he's the actual stats:

Tyria: Radar = 0.07% of the map
Cantha: Radar = 0.1% of the map

That should clear up people's problems with it, it's listed on a couple of fansites, thought I'd add it here.

Finishing Factions brings you to the Divine Path explorable area. Running to the end will reach the emperor and a portal. Going through the portal will cause you to leave your party and go back to Kaineng Center. Once back in Kaineng Center you'll find yourself ontop of a ledge overlooking much of KC.

I believe your shield won't count if you're hit from behind. Also, some attacks hit specific body parts. For example, concussion shot and meteor hit the head part and I believe crippling shot hits the feet.

ericdanie · Nov 10, 2006, 09:59 AM // 09:59

Traps don't hit the feet, even though it's completely unlogical it's damage falls under the chance of hitting any part, like the head.
