Acquiring skills - Doing it right?

Wife and I area playing through guild wars starting in prophecies. We like to play with more of a challenge and so generally like to skip the smaller quests and get through the MQL to get to the harder content quicker. Wife is super interested in controlling more than 1 hero whats the best way to unlock that ability the quickets? We do want to run through the story so we didn't just do a PVP charachter.

We want to get as much skills as possible to play with different build variations. Is the best way to do that by doing all the little quests we get that award us skills for our class or will there be a quicker better way to get those skills instead of doing those quests later on in the game?

Thanks for reading and helping in anyway you can. We appreciate it.

Just returned for the first time ever - excited but a tiny bit disappointed - real solo farming heavily nerved?

Hi all,

just returned to the game for the first time ever. Been playing up until eye of the north then got GW2 (did not like that) and stopped playing (because of university and the work).

Now super excited to be back but after some research, seems like real solo farming (no heroes) is quite limited at least with my elementalist. Is that just me not finding the right info or is that really the case?

Back then did solo UW for ectos but now could not find any working build.

Appreciate any thoughts and overall still excited to be back.

Btw. I am playing EU time zone.

Linux build template location?

Hey, I installed guild wars on my steam deck and I was trying to add a bunch of builds to the build template folder only thing is that I can't find the build template folder. I installed the game through steam, on a steam deck. In game, the build menu still paths to c:/user/steamuser/documents/guild wars/templates/skills

I can't find the equivalent Linux folder nor can I tell if steam auto installed wine or something and is just hiding that from me. Any help appreciated ty.

Cleaned out my bookshelf prepping for new carpet upstairs, and came across these. Had to share for nostalgia.

No gold's farming raptors

I’ve learned today for the first time how to farm raptors. I know it’s very simple, but I’m a total newbie. I’m in Hard Mode and going at it hard. I’ve already done 7 successful farming runs.

Not a single golden one.

Am I doing something wrong?

Black Moa Chick

Hey all,

I saw a price check for the mini black moa chick of like 100e? Is that right? I just found out about this and how you have to make it? Why would it be so expensive then if everyone can make one?

Can anyone help identify the GW Employees on this signed copy?

Won a signed copy of Nightfall a few years ago at a Seattle event. I'd like to figure out who actually signed it.
There's a few I've been able to read like Gaile (Gray), and Tami Foote on the first side.
I'm sure it's a long shot as only the signers would likely be able to read their own signature.

Thinking about coming back, but do people play together or do they load up with heroes?

Just wondering, are people actually playing together or is everyone running hero teams these days?

Random Arenas prophecies only build

Just came back to the game... I only have prophecies. Are there any good build for elementalists, warriors, ranger, necro, mesmer and monk that can be used for casual RA?

Why Anet never disabled minions/spirits attacking during cutscenes?

So you just finished that mission (Eternal Groove HM with sketchy builds let's say) by the skin of your teeth, your whole party almost wiped 3 times and your buttcrack is sweaty af because Master To(good to)go has been standing under 3 Ray of judgments to cast his useless spirit rift but somehow you made it through. You're relieved it's done and you made it! now sit back and watch that awesome cutscene , with awesome voice acting (it's sarcasm in case you couldn't tell). But oh no, bone minion level 5 summoned by Livia is hitting that npc and the noise is so obnoxious and loud you can't hear anything they say and the dramatic effect of the scene is flushed down the toilet.

Why didn't Anet fix that thing? It's basically guaranteed it'll happen considering how prevalent spirit/minion spammers are. Is it one of those mistakes that become "funny" unplanned easter eggs?

Argument Against 8 Ranger Pets?

What's the argument against 8 ranger pets? I've given a pet to most of my heroes. Is the answer just the classic "it's alright, but it's not the meta"?

Smoothest profession to play?

By that I mean least buttons required, no enchantment, shouts, hexes, combos etc. to think about or do, just C, Space.

This varies, but generally under 8 teams, but other team sizes can be considered in the overall. Same with specific content where you can't C, Space, but just generally over the most cases in the game?

Mesmer help

So I just reinstalled and remembered I’d started a Mesmer the last time I had a nostalgia trip. It’s been a while since I’ve played him and have no real idea what I’m doing.

Looking for a discussion on good secondary profs and ideas for builds, please!

Thanks 😁
