I could use a little help regarding crafting.. are all the armor crafters only in the post-sear world? I'm level 7 right now, but I've been collecting crafting items since I started, so I've got a great stock right now, and lots of gold too. I'm ready for some bigger/better armor and weapons, but cant seem to find anywhere to craft them.. ?

Any help?

I think that in Pre-Searing you can only get new armor from collectors, armor crafters are Post-Searing only...

Hey everyone,

Well i am new to the game (GF gave it for birthday) and had a few questions.

1) as an experienced online RPG'er i am wondering if this game is any good in comparison to the games i've played.. I've played EQ from kunark to elemental planes, i've played EQ2 till lvl 25.

2) is this a game like EQ, where you have to put in alot of time to progres.

3) is there alot of downtime? how's the lag? what are the minimums your computer needs to play the game swiftly?

Greetings, Brainstorm

you don't need to put any effort at all really in to making progress, since you can reach the lvl cap (lvl 20) in a weekend of hard playing, but that's when the best parts of the game start. and there's very little lag and/or downtime in my experiance.

Hello, all.

I am quite the hardcore gamer, but I really mainly play console games. However, I did (finally!) get my hands on a new laptop with all the fixins (firewire, 512mb ddrram, etc), so I thought that this would be the perfect game to get me into the world of mmorpgs.

However, I find that (despite my video card - an ATI Radeon IGP 345M with the latest drivers) the game doesn't run too great. Are there compatability issues with my card? Is there anything I can do?

Axle_the_Red · May 21, 2005, 07:02 PM // 19:02

Hello!

This site is quite the accomplishment...you guys did awesome!

anyways...on to the actual question.

Im a newbie, and I do not actually OWN the game (yet). Im thinking of becoming a mesmer/elementalist...but im not entirely sure about that. The question I have is if mesmers (or casters) can actually USE a weapon. The reason I ask this is because mesmers dont really have any attack capabilities...just hinderances. having elementalist as a secondary profession may even that out...but still. a LITTLE bit of melee might be helpful. even if it is a bit suicidal.

thanks!

is there a way to customise armor "pre searing" ? im scared to go sir tyson as all my gear is crap & only lvl8, is there like a checklist of things to do before you "sear" ?

Master Gunner · May 22, 2005, 03:59 PM // 15:59

Axle- any class can use any weapon, they just won't be able to do as much damage with it since they won't have the attributes required for it (example: I'm a W/Me and have a bow that does 14-25dmg, but when I use it I can only deal about 2 or 3dmg because I don't have the marksmanship attribute I need to use it). I don't belive there are any weapons designed for memsters tho, but you can still use elementilist weapons like fire wands easily.

Stone:you can get better armor in post-searing, and only lvl 8? I was a level 5 when I went to post searing, so really you should have already left.

Mesmer wands deals chaos damage and have mesmer attribute requirements (domination/inspiration/illusion). At least they should be although I have not seen a wand that requires domination so far.

Tavenlen · May 23, 2005, 02:33 PM // 14:33

I'm pretty sure there are Canes that do Chaos damage.

Axle_the_Red · May 23, 2005, 02:56 PM // 14:56

thanks!

Is having a mesmer going to actually work for pve? I mean...they arent really made for damage...but having an elementalist as secondary should remedy that....

any suggestions/comments?
thanks!

Tavenlen · May 23, 2005, 03:04 PM // 15:04

I have a PvE Me/W and he does quite well. The DoTs and other abilities from the Mesmer class come in handy with "hard" enemies such as Stone Elementals and Warrior mobs.

Melian · May 24, 2005, 07:53 AM // 07:53

I was wondering, are there any rpers playing, and by that i mean people who role play as their character and are into the creating that aspect other than pvp? if so please respond and get in contact with me!

TheOnlyMerlin · May 25, 2005, 06:39 AM // 06:39

This might be a stupid question, I am not sure, but is it possible to just buy an account (for a reduced cost hopeflly) and not buy the box, cd, etc? (download the client from their site?)

Answers appreciated.

timeslip · May 27, 2005, 10:20 AM // 10:20

I am very new to Gulid Wars, so plz dont hate me if this is like the 1236182361872638 same question u have seen... anyway...

I looked at many builds in the builds directory, and i usually see builds with at least 3 attributes they each max out. Is it possible to have 4 attributes? Now, i kno its not possible to max out each... but i was hoping to have attribute points like this: 10/10/5/5. That is possible... right?

Thank you
