Multiple copies of a storybook - Guild Wars Forums

[email protected] · Aug 22, 2010, 03:26 PM // 15:26

What happens if you carry more than one copy of a specific storybook in the inventory at the same time and complete some missions? does the mission record in only one of the books, all of them or none?

If I'm not completely wrong, only the first book in your inventory gets filled

Junato · Aug 22, 2010, 03:46 PM // 15:46

one at a time... I know what you are trying to do it doesn't work.

I believe this was covered some time ago on a forum here, but here is how I do it. You can get as many copies of the book as you want, but here is what you do. Leave 1 copy in your inventory and place the rest in your storage chest. After completing one of the missions, place the completed one in your chest and grab an empty one. Repeat this until all of them have the same mission done.

NOTE: The only way I find this effective is if you are doing speedbooking. It doesn't really have a benefit any other way. The time it takes to do this is the same as if you did 1 entire book at a time.

Actually, you don't need to leave the books in your storage chest, you can carry them all in your inventory... upon completing a mission only the first book in your inventory is updated, so you need to change their order between repeats of the same mission...

The book that is "first" in your inventory gets the credit.

Also: interesting account name. o.0

If that is your real email address, I hope it's not also your account name. If it is please PM an admin to change your guru name.

ok ty, and no, its not my real email no sweat there

Is there anything wrong with using your 'real email address' as your forum name?

email addresses aren't passwords. More often than not they're easy to find, and it's not unusual for web communities to use email addresses as identifiers.

If your real email address is also the one you use at your login at Guildwars, then it's stupid to show it. With that and a character name you only need to guess the password.

oh? you use your email address as your account name?

I only signed up for guild wars recently, and I don't log in with my email address. When I made my playNC account, I got given a playNC 'address' to use to login. So I log in with <playNC account name>@ncsoft as my account name. Email address or just <playNC account name> doesn't seem to work.

Guess they've changed things.

plus posting an email can bring you spam email later on.

didnt know about the new account name system

I thought having a hotmail address itself was like painting a red target on your face for spam :P
