1. First one. What is the perfect npc party. I'm currently questing around I am lvl8 and I have the others:
warrior henchman
archer henchman
healer henchman
mage henchman

I was so far with mage, archer, warrior but I couldn't finish a quest without the healer so I replaced it. Is it ok like this or shall I replace the archer with mage since I am ranger? I know it really doesen't matters but I am so curious xD

2. The second one is where I can find a list of guild. I wanted to create one for fun with my friends guild name from other game and it said it's already in use. The name is The Guardians of Power btw. (Btw I am looking for a friendly pve guild, willing to help out newbies my name in-game is Sir Lovele and if it matters I only have prophecies until I fnish it then buy the other ones too.

3. At what level does the quests stop?

4. Where can I buy te most awesome, the most expensive, the most and the most and the best gear?

I think from players but how are they called?

5. WoW man I have so much skills already from quests but I found a perfect build to pawn the evil forces

<==This is not a question lol.

Thanks for answers I know they are really noobish.

welcome to Guild Wars & the guru! As a ranger, the henchmen you'd be best served to take with you would be the Monk, Warrior, and Mage(elementalist).

You can always find guilds recruiting in Ascalon City & Lions Arch. There is also a sub forum here for finding a guild and for guilds who are recruiting.

3. At what level does the quests stop?

Quests aren't available based on level. Any quest you don't do in the early part of the game can be done later as a level 20.

You can get max armor at Droknar's Forge, but that's later on in the game. There are also elite armor sets available, but their AL is the same as the stuff in Droks. For more info on armor & weapons (max stats and all that) visit

1. Most of time you should have 1 healer in a party of 4, 1-2 in a party of 2 and 2 in a party of 8 (there are exceptions but most of the time it's best this way imo). A good setup imho is a balanced team, but it stricktly depends on personal preferences - i.e. you should just check the henchies skills on wiki, try different ones and make your own pick, changing, if needed, for different areas.
2. Not sure such a thing even exists. I'd suggest you don't start your own guild yet - it requires a lot of gold. To find a guild just look in ascalon (you are probably not in lion's arch yet) in american districts for pple advertising their guild. There is no failesafe way to choose a guild, you will have to try it. If you don't like one, you could just leave (open the guild roaster by pressing g, left click on the icon near your name and press leave guild). I'd recommend you don't join any new guilds, as there are more lilely to be composed of only new pple and will not live for long.
3. Never XD
4. You can buy the most expensive armor in Fissure of Woe (obisidan armor). It's not any better then any other max armor though (you can buy max armor in droknar's forge), the only difference is the look. The most expensive bow should be currently the silverwing recurve bow and you will have to buy it from players (once again, it's not any different in stats then any other max recurve bow)

EDIT: beaten in speed :P

Actually most English-speaking Europeans have moved to American/English districts, since this gives them more concentrated population. The other well-populated ones are Europe/German, Europe/French and Europe/Italian.

imo there is no such thing as the perfect party, It also depends on what class you are.

but you can have an optimum party for a particular area, In the beginning I would tend to take one warrior one healer and maybe a ranger.

When party size is bigger I usually add some area effect so would add one or even 2 elementalists.

For general pve play and having access to heroes my standard 8 person party is.

Warriors 1 or 2
MM Necro
Healer
Protector monk or spirit ritualist
Earth ele
Fire ele
Interrupt ranger or a mesmer

I do make small changes depending on the area I am in.
MM necros don't always work, there may be few available corpses or the animations may agro mobs when you don't want them too.

Never take a melee NPC.

They have no concept of an aggro bubble, they'll blindy rush into battle and pull in any nearby group. Kind of like some piss poor PC's, really, but I wouldn't play with those either.

If an enemy aggroes around a hill, or from an unreachable area, they'll go berserk trying to get to them, separating from the party and being a general neusiance to pull back.

Every second they spend trying to chase down an enemy is a second they're not doing damage, and unlike players they won't be smart enough to switch targets to something more vulnerable.
