Curse

It might be a good idea to have a baseline pricing list for runs from one place to the other so you know if you're getting a good deal or are being ripped off.

Just thought of how complex it would be, but a start from Lion's Arch runs would at least be something.

Any ideas?

Alright im a running only in Tyria and i don't run often, but these are the prices i have observed recently more less.m And my personal Comments to it.

These are prices strickly from the top of my head which are common, spamed alot runs and the runs which are ran less often but are often needed or u can exspect to find.

Beacons -> Droks ~ 3k Don't exspect it for free often, unless u want to wait. Dual Runners are garbage unless its a pro training a new runner.

Camp Rankor -> War Camp (Sorrows) ~ 1k Always has probaly always will. 50% of time will find free runner / tips.

Lions Arch -> Temple of Ages ~ 500-1k
Easy run, most runners are rangers.

Lions Arch -> Santum Cay ~ 1-2k
Some as TOA but a bit further.

Santum Cay Mission ~ 500g-1k. Ask the runner if they know how to run the mission/how they run the mission. Many runners these days u will find are old runners who believe in the bug where u can stand on the right side and tank 1 spell caster then run to the boat. There was a patch where they come no matter what pretty much. Also, A warrior claiming to need help isn't running, he is just running to the first cine, which anyone can do. pft.

Any Crystal Desert Run ~ 100-500 g

Elona Reach Mission ~ 500g for mission only, 1k for miss and bonus.
Many runners are Rangers or Wars. Easy to find cheap or free runners.

Thirsty River Mission ~ 5k. Not an easy run in the concept. Some runners work off gimics like using IWAY to keep healing or u to die for corpses. I believe what works will work and as long as its done its done. But runners who can actualy solo it do exist. Many Dual runners do it with bonus included or for extra.

Dune of Despaire Mission ~ 1k. This mission isn't so much a run. Many ways to do it. MM's who just kill, two tanks can argo all the incoming attackers. Many builds work.

Anywhere -> Granite Citadel ~ Exspect to pay 2k-20k. Most runners do not like the run because finding groups for it is not easy. Most runners will have to run one or two people at a time or wait 30 minutes for a run. I see spams of ppl paying (and actualy shelling out) 20-30k. Most ppl who want this run want 15k armor, and thus are "rich"

Anywhere -> Marhans Grotto ~ 5k-20k
A very uncommon place to be ran to, but same reason as above with 15l Armor.

Thunderhead Keep -> Marhans Grotto ~ 250g-1k
It's a very short run, and it's best for the runner to be infused.

Anywhere -> Copperhammer. 1-5k
Used to be ran more often before skill trainers did not train skills in any previous unlocked skills. Still need to get there for the Tyria 15 stat quest. Uncommon run. If u have the warcamp on map you can simply fight to spearhead peak then die at the first mob to the south. You will spawn near Copperhammer with only 2-5 imps in the way.

Ascalon -> Yaks ~ 500G.
Any level 5+ can do this run with the right skills and good armor.

Yaks -> Beacons Perch ~ 500g-1k
Any level 12+ can do this run with the right skills and good armor.
Has the same hex conditions as any droks run. So a runner without hex removal is useless. So lets say a W/E will not be able to do this run. Keep this in mind when shopping for runners/

Beacons Perch -> Lions Arch. 500g
To some degree the same notes as Yaks-Perch run. However if a stop occurs to Gates of Kryta. Most runners won't die but be over whelmed by hexes. This will slow them down, but they shouldn't die. Exspect a long run section there.

DO NOT EXSPECT JUNGLE RUNS, runs to Devinity Coast Mission. The Frost Gate Mission. Ascalon Missions. There are others not to exspect (mostly do to little to no demand. But u can run almost anywhere in Tyria.)

Personal Extra Notes. Rangers do most non-southern Shiverpeaks/Mission runs faster then wars due to the number of +33% speed stances and abilty to stay in stances the whole run they can also do droks run, but don't bet on it often.

Monks and Mesmers primaries do run. With war Secondaries they can also do any run.

I've seen necro runners, but i have very little faith in most of them.

Scammers Exist. Running is where a charater is most likely going to get scamed, both runners and those being ran. It happens alot and you are not the only one. Deal with it like it's just a game, because it is.

(ill condense this into just prices if ppl want me to.)

Thanks alot for this, this should help me and other people to get a bit of feeling for prices.

Maybe you should try and get this into a clean sticky
