CApping elites in EOTN - Guild Wars Forums

Shooshu · May 13, 2008, 07:27 PM // 19:27

Hello,

Once my friend told me that if i cap skills in EOTN then they will not count torward the elite skill capture title, therfore not getting this title.

I would like to know if this is true...

Thanx in advance.

There isn't an Eye of the North title track but the skills may count.

To make a long story short, it does count for the title track. All elite skills, regardless of how they're captured, contribute to whatever title track they come from.

For instance, let's say I have all three campaigns and I cap [Barrage] in Prophecies. Not only will it contribute to the Prophecies skill title track, it will also contribute to the Nightfall and Factions tracks.

The same goes for capping in EotN. If you cap Shatterstone in EotN, it counts toward the Factions to title track.

Correct. I cap a lot of my skills in EotN, as, frankly, a lot of them are a lot easier. I'm almost positive they count towards the title track.

im going to kick some1s butt! -.-'

chfanfiction, one elite skill doesn't count, The name eludes me, but it's a NF PvE elite. (Lightbringer signet counts, if I'm correct, but the other one)

Junundu Siege is the one that doesn't count.

That's true.

No it won't. All the skills are listed by chapter. For example, Barrage is a Prophecies skill and you won't see it on the skill list for Factions or nightfall.

I have Legendary Skill Hunter, and I capped a bunch of skills in EOTN. The elite you cap goes towards whatever campaign they were originally created for.

Barrage is actually a core skill, and is located in all three campaigns.

Hehe - Rykes got owned ^^

Also has to be said that you should make sure that the skill you are capping is for a chapter that you own. No point capping a Factions skill in EotN if you don't own Factions - you won't be able to use it, and if it does add 1 to the skillhunter track, it's a track you won't be increasing.

Kumu Honua · May 13, 2008, 10:25 PM // 22:25

I think they changed it.

I tried to cap a skill from a campaign I don't own. It was locked in the SoC screen. I couldn't capture anything.

It's always been like that. You can only use skills from campaigns you actually own. Also, if you tried getting a trial key and capping it then, you'll be able to use it until your trial ends. Once your trial ends, the skill will be locked again until you buy the retail version of the game.

And some of you guys are making it too confusing. Any elites capped in GWEN count for the continent they originated in. Core elites count for all three title tracks.

Yes, I know that, I was just using that as an example. It can be capped else where but it will only count in the Prophecies chapter.

Whenever you cap a core skill, you get +1 in all three of the title tracks. :S

Nope. [[Barrage] was the first elite my Ranger capped and it added entries for all three campaigns.

the -only- title u can ruin and no longer be able to attain is legendary survivor
(and ldoa--but if u kno wut ldoa is, u prolly kno that already)

Snograt · May 14, 2008, 03:50 AM // 03:50

Admit it, Rykes - we is right. Legendary Skill Hunter was my first maxed title - and I saved a core for last so that it completed 4 titles at once

Mind you, I got owned too - as RPG pointed out, I was getting confused with trial account caps.

Talking about ruining - that font ruins my eyesight, snaek
