Capture Elite Skill but don't own campaign - Guild Wars Forums

thoreau · Apr 18, 2009, 04:20 PM // 16:20

I think I understand this issue but I want to make sure something hasn't changed.

I own Prophecies, Factions, and EoTN. I want to cap the Elite Skill Searing Flames.

It says I can cap it from Borrguus Blisterbark in EoTN. But I think I can't cap the skill because I DON'T own Nightfall.

If this is true, is there any work around for this (aside from buying Nightfall?)

Sorry, but there is no work around other than buying Nightfall. I think you can still cap it though so it would be available immediately on acquiring NF though.

You shouldn't have a problem capturing the skill in EoTN from Borrguus Blisterbark in Sacnoth Valley.

u can cap it, u just cant use it

Arctica · Apr 18, 2009, 04:43 PM // 16:43

As far as I can remember, you will not be able even to capture it, unless you own the Nightfall campaign. The same thing happened to me, when I wanted to capture Jagged Bones from Avar the Fallen in Jaga Moraine of Eotn, but I did not yet have Nightfall. I could see the skill, but I was unable to select and capture it.

You cannot cap skills in EotN if you do not own its base campaign, PERIOD.

Did you own Nightfall when you capped it in EoTN?

duckboy · Apr 18, 2009, 09:28 PM // 21:28

last time i heard some1 try this, they capped the skill but get the padlock icon (like pve skills show when ur in a pvp area) on the skill thus not usable until u own the campaign its from

Hanging Man · Apr 18, 2009, 10:15 PM // 22:15

cant cap it because Eotn is not a campaign.
To cap the elite you need to have Nightfall the original campaign it came from.

Atleast i think you can cap it but can not use it

You cannot cap a skill from a campaign you do not own.

EOTN offers alternative cap locations for many skills from other campaigns, but you cannot cap them unless you own the base campaign.

Kinetic Trilogy · Apr 19, 2009, 02:04 AM // 02:04

As said before, you can't cap skills from campaigns you do not own. I only have Prof/EOTN and I went to CoF to cap a warrior elite off the boss on the first floor, but when I tried to cap, it had the padlock on the skill. =(

Why do they even have this "feature"? Let people capture the skills regardless, it's incentive to sell another game, rather than "can't touch this!".
