Hi i'm new - Guild Wars Forums

Star Naiad · Nov 01, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

Hi guys and girls I???m new to GW and decided to try GW with Nightfall.. And i have to tell you guys I LOVE THE GAME, particularly i had so much fun yesterday obeying the king.

.. He rules by the way. Anyway i have few questions.

1. How come GW doesn't let you sell stuff like other MMORPG? like opening up a personal store to sell items
2. What is farming? Does it have the same meaning as other MMORPG where you grind for money?
3.Do you get a 20-slot item bag again in the game or you just stuck with 5 slots bags? And how do i take out those 5 slots bags once they are occupied.

Thanx guys.. Great to be here!!

1. Maybe in the future.

2. Farming = hunting critters for loot. Often solo but maybe with 1 or more other players. Henchies and heroes take their fair share of loot so it is best not to farm with them if you can avoid it.

3. Belt pouch = 5 slots.
2 bags = 5 slots initially but apply a rune of holding to each to double them. That is all the personal storage you get.

Add to that the account's storage, visit the Xunlai agent if you haven't already. Each character needs to pay to open up both the general storage and the materials storage.

Welcome to GW and hope to see you buying Prophecies and Factions soon

1- There is no auction house in GW. Its an ongoing project and no one knows when it will be implemented.
The way to sell stuff is by spamming WTS in major towns.

2- Yes farming is basically killing the same monsters over and over to get money.

3- You start with your backpack with has 20 slots.
You then get a quest and they give you a belt. that has 5 slots.
You can later buy a 2 bags that have 5 slots each and upgrade then with a rune of holding for an additional 5 slots each.

Backpack - 20 slots
Belt - 5 slots
Bag - 10 slots with the rune of holding
Bag - 10 slots with the rune of holding

You can empty the bag you want and then drag it on to an empty slot in the inventory. And yes, you cannot drag it when its full to take advantage of more space.

Fun facts - you can color your inventory bags, belts and backpack.

Welcome to the wonderful Guild Wars universe.
1: Online trade at this time is limited to advertising a product in a district and having individuals view and perhaps purchase. Hopefully that will change in the future.
2. Farming - killing the same thing(s) over and over again to aquire gold and items.
3. The belt pouch is limited to 5 slots, however the two 5 slot bags can be expanded with a rune of holding to 10 slots. You can buy a rune of holding from a merchant or use 3 of your comendations to trade for one from the inner quartermaster in the Sunspear Great Hall. Bags can only be removed and put in storage or another bag/backpack only if they are empty. No filling a bag and putting it in another bag and putting that bag in another bag...

If you get any individual valuable items, you may want to put them up on the auction section here (link at the top of the page). You may have more chance of getting a buyer and a better price than trade-spamming a single district. Have fun

Well all of them people above basiclly answered your questions. Welcome to Guild Wars!

Sergio Leone · Nov 02, 2006, 01:21 AM // 01:21

Welcome to the game man. If you need any PvE help I can give a little assistance and TONS of others here can, just ask or message them in-game.

Lynxius · Nov 02, 2006, 01:26 AM // 01:26

Guild wars is balanced so that someone who farmed for hours doesnt have a major advantage over you (weapons, armour)

They(Anet) are always balancing skills and such, and they are always hiting farming hard.

So in my opinion it would be better for you to just enjoy the game and dont grind for money too much, or it will get boring, and you shouldnt be geting bored so soon since you are new at guildwars.

You can get most things in a cheaper way ( armour, weapons) , the only thing different will usually be their skin(you know, the graphics of things), so you can still be as good as anyone else even if they have a better looking armour (much much more expensive) than yours (which by the way can have the exact same stats, just different better apearence)

Same for the weapons, you can find colector weapons with good things in them, trow a mod or two in them and make them as good as any green(Greens are weapons with a generally unique skin and always the same perfect stats)

Your new here, dont waste your gold. ^___^
Hope this helps you.

Welcome to Guild Wars.

Welcome to Guild Wars!

Where Xunlai storage is concerned, just remember you can only activate the Materials storage (for cloth, tanned hides etc) in Factions and Nightfall. Like general storage, you have to activage it for each of your characters.

ischuros · Nov 02, 2006, 08:35 AM // 08:35

I think they have allowed it so you can add mat storage in Lion's Arch and some Tyrian cities aswell. That's what I read from the update list anyway. Welcome to GW! Dont be afraid to pm in-game (ischuros almsbane) if you have any other questions.

Or, if you want to save time, get better prices, and ... last but not least... be less annoying to others:

Welcome to GW. Once you get your Prophecies character to Lion's Arch (not too far along in the story-line), you'll have access to a quest that will take you there.

Abedeus · Dec 31, 2007, 09:17 AM // 09:17

First thing - Necroposting is baed. And not using search button.

Alex Morningstar · Dec 31, 2007, 09:28 AM // 09:28

Spelling the word bad as baed, is bad. Use dictionary.com or proper English, take your pick.

Abedeus · Dec 31, 2007, 10:43 AM // 10:43

Plz don't use teh Internet Alex, you phail lmao ;[
