BWG · May 23, 2005, 08:54 PM // 20:54

I saw on gwonline.net the skills like healing hands i believe it was and i went to the trainer that it said on there i can get that skill from but i never got it? why is that?

Correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing skill points and or money is stopping you?

Soul Monarch · May 23, 2005, 09:29 PM // 21:29

Or maybe it's because all of the GWOnline data is from the last beta event, and doesn't pertain in any way to the retail version.

Very few skills are bought from trainers anymore, now you find most of them through quests or Signet of Capture.

Quite incorrect actually, and it makes me wonder if you've even bothered to visit the site any time recently before saying as such. The trainers were the very first updated, and the skill availability pages have also been updated (any elite skills that we said could be captured pre-ascension should be removed as they were changed in-game), minus those skills available via quests. This is a great site, and I love Spooky and the rest of the staff to death, but please do try to inform yourself before making comments about what other sites offer

Then how come I go to the trainer and he doesn't have the skills hes supposed to have, and im sure that i don't already have it when i press k.

These are the skills I need, please help me find them:
Sever Artery

Gash

Galrath Slash

Final Thrust

Sprint

Healing Hands {Elite}

Mending

Restore Life

Sierra · May 24, 2005, 12:39 PM // 12:39

I'm confused. You're looking for healing hands from a trainer? The only way to get elite skills is through signet of capture, and healing hands will not be available until after ascension (unless I'm mistaken).

EDIT: If you still need Restore Life you can buy if off a skill trainer at Grendich Courthouse, north of the Nolani mission.

BWG · May 24, 2005, 05:07 PM // 17:07

can someone post the locations of all the skills on the list? especially galrath slash!!

MasterDinadan · May 24, 2005, 05:11 PM // 17:11

Sever Artery and Gash are available in Ascalon I think

smitty-gw · May 24, 2005, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Sever Artery and Gash are available in pre-sear ascalon as a quest for a primary warrior.

The subsequent town or city trainer usually has all skill quests available from the previous explorable areas.

Elite skills are not available at any trainer and must now be captured.

Arvydas · May 24, 2005, 06:07 PM // 18:07

Mending is available as a monk from a quest offered by the Kryta Ambassador just outside of Ascalon City (Post-searing)

Sierra · May 24, 2005, 06:21 PM // 18:21

I would check Beetletun for Galrath Slash. You should check out the skill listing on guru. When you find a skill you want click on the name and it should tell you where you can find it.

May 24, 2005, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Im stumped as well. I'm an E/Nec and I have gone to every trainer and each one doesnt have anymore missions for me to gain skills. Where can I get more? How can I buy them in pre-searing ascalon? How do I use skill points to buy? (I know, I know.....such a noob...)

Arvydas · May 24, 2005, 10:00 PM // 22:00

there is no skill trainers in pre-searing.. if you're sure u've got all the skills from quests, then all u can do is go to post-searing.

May 24, 2005, 10:10 PM // 22:10

but are there other skills for your profession that you can acquire from non-trainers in pre-searing?

Arvydas · May 24, 2005, 10:16 PM // 22:16

what skills do u currently have? without knowing what u have there's no way to tell u whether you're missing something (btw i havent played E or N so i can't give u an answer, but others can if u tell us what u already have). also, do a search on skills.. that could prob. give u the answer

Edit: This should be what you want: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...lon-id1264.php

Oh, for trainers i meant the one that "sold" you skills. U can't buy skills in pre.

May 25, 2005, 02:07 PM // 14:07

hey thanks, the only one I see Im missing is Vampiric Gaze. It says I get it from Sir Bertrain in Ascalon, but I never recall seeing anyone by that name....is it pre or post searing??

Ninna · May 25, 2005, 02:26 PM // 14:26

you cannot buy skills pre-searing, you can only quest them

Post Searing,
you have access to skill trainers that will sell non-elite skills to you
(at select towns)

Sir Bertrain is in PostSearing Ascalon

Rellok · May 25, 2005, 02:27 PM // 14:27

Did you notice the asterisk by that skill? At the beginning of the skill listing it says that skills with an asterisk are only learnable if that is your primary. So, since your primary is Elementalist, Vampiric Gaze is not learnable in pre-sear.

May 25, 2005, 07:35 PM // 19:35

ok, hey thanx for all you guys' help. Usually i'd be flamed for bein such a noob.
