Duration FoW/UW/DoA - Guild Wars Forums

Tommy's · May 14, 2008, 09:37 AM // 09:37

I normaly play 1 hour a day or so, but I have the feeling that the elite areas cost me more time.
Can anyone tell me what an average time is on FoW/UW/DoA in HM?

Also another quick question: I once heard a rumor about r13 weapons. That req13 weapons deal 5% more dmg. Is this true??

It all depends on what team your playing with.
If you're playing with experienced players, doing UW and FoW in under an hour should be no problem. DoA however is pretty slow.
If we count the time it takes to get going with the team, It'd be hard to do it all in an hour. I think.

About the q13 weps, I got no idea.

Thats just plain stupid ^^! Someone probably wanted to sell you a r13 wep.

Get [[Ursan Blessing], grind it to level 10 and join the countless Ursan Farm Groups would be best. Or if you are a Monk, join the same team and heal the Bears.

UW/FoW can be done under an hour in HM, especially with a good group

(And about the Q13 wep, some-one just REALLY wanted to sell it xD)

I agree. I doubt you can clear UW or FoW in an hour on your first run, but if you get a few people who know what they are doing, it's definitely doable.

I've heard of the four areas of DoA being done in under an hour, but that's rare. Fortunately, you can simply finish one area, then pick up where you left off later. The rewards are less, but each individual area should be done in under an hour with a fair margin to spare.

But note, if you're including getting a party together in that one hour, I doubt you can do any of these. Seems like getting a party organized takes longer than the entire area sometimes!

Let's consider this:
In the UW event DVDF organized the fastest time was 40 mins.
The next times were all over an hour.
Now there was a limitation, no PvE skills. And only 7 players.
Still, it gives an idea on times that can be set by experienced teams.

I know it's possible to do UW in under one hour but you need more then 'a few people who know what they are doing'.
It's more like you need 6 of them to get under an hour.
I think to get under an hour you need to split and not all people can do that.

The same applies for FoW but is less restricted.
It's possible to do FoW in times around 1 hour (HM) with a ursan team with one or two experienced players and others following directions.
There is no need for splits making it easier to manage for an unorganised team.
Only disadvantage is that those teams will be ursan teams, you probably need a monk or Ursan to get in such a team. Other teams are forming slower, if you can only be online for 1 hour you probably won't find a team.

That event was also in NM.

my wife and i can clear FoW in nm with 6 heroes in 2.5 hours, just to give you and idea of a normal time needed to clear there. That does include a 5-10 minute stop to put the kids to bed, but other than that we were fighting or running to a fight the whole time...
