Question about how to sell a large number of upgrade components

So, I'm still new to the whole farming and trying to sell upgrade components thing. I've used the Kamadan trade chat search website and Guild Wars Legacy to see what (I think) people (might) want, but now I've amassed five or six tabs of Xunlai Storage worth. What's the best way to go about advertising that much stuff to sell that doesn't step on anyone's toes?

Buying new account

So I’ve lost access to my old account and am looking to repurchase all xpacs. I’m assuming I start in nightfall but is there a guide on the fastest way to get an optimal hero team for perfect runs through campaigns?

Returning player asking for advice

First of I tried to search if there is any post on what I need help with and I couldn't find anything (or I'm just dumb - also possible).

I want to complete most of my HoM without the titles for events (like participate in events or something like that). Maybe I will tackle that later but for now I want to focus more on but now I want to do mainly Pathfinder, protector, etc.

I used to run mostly ranger or warrior. My heroes are I would say decent. Not all skills available or in any way equipped.

Can someone recommend me build to run with my main and heroes?

Defend North Kryta - Recruit NPC

One of my chars is doing the quest "Defend North Kryta" HM again. Recently I read for the first time that there are some Lionguard Sentries on the beach who will join the group if you save them from the titans that spawn there. Is that true? I've tried it a few times now, killed all the titans nearby and the guard thanks me for saving his life, but the Lionguard Sentries always stay in place and never follow.

Has anyone ever been able to get them to support?

What's the oldest Guild Wars screenshot or video you have?

G'day everyone. I've been a casual player of Guild Wars for about 15 years, logging in (mainly in Pre) every now and then to get some of that sweet, sweet GWs nostalgia. I know the servers aren’t as lively as they used to be, and I really do miss that aspect of the game.

It got me thinking—what’s the oldest Guild Wars screenshot or video you have in your collection? You know, the ones that captured how bustling the towns and outposts used to be (especially during events)

Please feel free to share any media you have so we can relive those golden days of Guild Wars. :D

What’s the stupidest way you’ve lost a deathless run, or a survivor?

In my case it's forgetting that infusion only applies to the armour you do it on . Spectral agony ruined my deathless Ironman

Anyone remember an old Guild Wars Christmas YouTube music video with Blink-182 and Audrey Hannah?

Hi all,

I'm trying to find an old Guild Wars Christmas YouTube music video, I don't suppose anyone remembers it and knows where else it's uploaded or if it's under a different name on YouTube?

It had these songs, and I think maybe another one:

Blink 182 - I Won't Be Home for Christmas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy9_JjLnmZI&

Aubrey Hannah - It's December (And I'll be missing you)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNm6BrZJphE&

Thanks!

Loading issues - Honur Hill

Trying to load in to Honur Hill. Gets to 99% and stops with ‘1 file remaining’. I have 2 characters now stuck on this loading screen. I’ve emailed ANet and waiting response. Just seeing if there’s any troubleshooting I can do in the meantime.

Shiro's Descendent

Heyo, it's Lemon. Welcome to The Backlogs.

...wait, no, wrong platform.

As I was thinking of YT videos to make for 2025, I randomly thought of Guild Wars 1 again for the first time in several years. And while remembering all the good times I had back in the day, I rememberd a constant hero that was always there, no matter what year I picked up the game : Shiro's Descendent.

Who is this player? Why does he never log out? Why does he guard the rock?

I have so many questions, and as a fellow patience elemental myself, I'd love to interview whomever is running this account. Sadly, I haven't had a Reddit account up to this point, so Reddit won't let me send them a chat message (my account is too young, I think). So if anyone would be willing to help me reach out to u/Rhyis for a potential interview, that'd be great :)

I'd also love to hear any and all stories you have surrounding this mysterious player. The more information the better!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season,

- 🍋

Acrylic Display Box for Guild Wars Prophecies or Factions Collector's Edition

Hi everybody, I'm not sure if this is allowed under the sub's rules so if it isn't mods can feel free to remove this post and I'm sorry for breaking the rules! I'm posting this here in the hopes of finding someone that is interested in a custom made acrylic display box for the Guild Wars Prophecies and Factions collector's editions.

https://preview.redd.it/bv6ufs0jk76e1.jpg?width=4608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2ca730f1ec16817b057686e688cfdfc751b6810

https://preview.redd.it/abnknitmk76e1.jpg?width=2592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fe9997f0d935bdcfc4802b3726cc30c69810e3c

For context: I've been collecting the collector's editions for the original Guild Wars over the last couple of years because the game has a special place in my heart and the collector's editions simply look great too. I've acquired all of the collector's editions and to make sure that they stay in good condition I've invested in custom made acrylic display boxes to protect them. Custom made boxes are required for the GW CEs because they have a non-standard format as far as I could tell. The boxes I own are manufactured by Retroboxed. When I tracked down a Nightfall CE I bought a box assuming it would have the same dimensions as the GW Prophecies and Nightfall CEs but as it turns out that is not the case. The Nightfall CE is actually noticeably smaller. As a result I now have a mint acrylic display box that I have no use for and Retroboxed doesn't do refunds because their products are custom made.

https://preview.redd.it/zfc3484kk76e1.jpg?width=2592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36499d067d3c20861c1db25e4ad6da1db8bf5581

So I wanted to post this here in the hopes that someone on this sub owns a Guild Wars Prophecies or Factions CE and is looking to protect it for the years to come. I'm selling the box at a significant discount because I understand that it will be difficult to find someone. The box is a perfect fit for Prophecies and Factions CEs and I'm very pleased with the build quality. I'm in Germany and I can ship the box in the entire EU. I will use the original Retroboxed shipping materials which are extremely secure. If you're interested you can send me a message and I can send you additional info, pictures, the original invoice, etc.

Is there a Wiki page or FAQ anywhere about how to read gear for sale ads?

Although I played a fair amount back in the '00s, I never touched the game in the '10s, and I've only gotten back playing meaningfully this decade. Now that I'm trying to actually get halfway decent at the game, I've been trying to read the ads in places like Guild Wars Legacy, as I'm actually collecting some gear that might actually be worth selling to players instead of just the in-game merchant, but I'm only sorta kinda understanding said ads. Is there a relatively comprehensive Wiki page or FAQ anywhere where I can just read what all that shorthand stands for?

Staring again with new mesmer after 16,5 years

I remember when i sarted to play it as a kid at elementary.
Great times, game was hard...continued some time, completed every storyline..
But after some time left the game.

Now i am comming back, i have ton of items, 7 full 20lvl equipped characters, but nothing fancy max Voltaic spear, some rare everl. tonics, some rare minis and some plat...
Also i have a lot of old gold weapons i have not seen ages. Also greens.
Some items i have no clue, as i dont remember where i got them.

Chosen to start at Cantha as i like that one DLC, was amased as a kid about the enviroment.

I have been in Kamadan wih my few chars today and decided to go for new journey.

Its great game, but as i logged few characters i was totally lost after that long time.
Still atmosphere is totally amazing. Wih that new tool its more chaotic so i have to start from the start again.

Wha are current currencies? a? Nic set - what is that and i have few more questions to ask :)

Do you guys have some idea how to orientate back and get what is what, what is new etc?

I a bit gave up and made new Mesmer and will do story :)

Really looking forward for some people and fun to have together! :)

If you have any ideas how to enhance game to someone comming back to game, please let me know! :)

Any tips are appreciated!

My Boxes, sill cant fing original Tyria one

HM ToPK hero team

Heya,

I’m trying to do ToPK HM consistently. Right now, my setup is me as an esurge target to avoid wiping my hero team and heroes I use are :

3x ES mesmers | 1x PI mesmer/rit | 1x Inept mesmer | 1x BiP necro/rit | 1 ST rit

Dryder/dream rider groups aren’t an issue.

Issues :

  • Finger of chaos : I try to use as low as core profession but mesmer to avoid this skill
  • ST rit seems good until 2 enemy ES go through because of further CoFs

Do you have any tips, hints I could use? Maybe some skills that works great against these mobs to improve my hero setup. As a player, I run a sin and I’m limited to that primary class.

Cheers

Green Dye Combos

Hi GW Legends!

TLDR - asking for your help with clever Green Dye combinations to best match my armour to my primary scythe. Current combo is Green x2 + Orange + Black on Hood, Chest & Legs.

I need some support from the community please 🙏 I’ve recently made a Dervish after returning from a decade long hiatus, and I’ve been trying really hard to match the colour of my armour as close to a blend of the same Emerald + Lime colours of my Dhuum’s Scythe.

It’s been a challenge to say the least 😅 This screenshot is whah I’ve settled on currently - but I am convinced I can do better.

The combination I eventually landed on through much trial and error was Green/Green/Orange/Black per piece (with the exception of my gloves and shoes which are dyed Black only)

I know different professions and their various armour sets take to dyeing differently and not all will look the same when using the same dye combos…

That being said, I’d be grateful if you could all share your Green Dye combinations with me if you have any to share, please and thanks!

Happy Gaming!

"A long time have I fought for Ascalon. First as a soldier blessed by Balthazar, now as its king. Though I have survived one more battle, and I will see another day, it will not make me any more wise… only one day older. I have lost all that a man can lose."
