If you could...

After having this discussion with some friends I decided it would be a cool topic to discuss. What would you do if you could go back to the first day of GW launch with all knowledge of builds, professions, farming, pvp etc.

Personally I would head straight to UW and FoW and farm me some FoW armour with 55 prot bond monk and then set up a team to own halls.

It would be really boring to return to launch day with all that knowledge as there wouldn't be any fun to be had from figuring it out for yourself. You'd soon get bored and go play another game.

Buy a bagazillion ectos, then do the 55hp shit SECRETLY, then i'd make shitloads off of the drops+the ecto's I bought (which were 300g back at the start)

Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back to launch with only the knowledge I had at launch... those were the days... simpler times indeed...

Id go back and sit in front of the rare material trader

TBH i couldnt go thru it again..im having troubles trying to convince myself to log on these days..old ascalon is ok once around

chest farm arid sea 24/7

I'd go straight to Tombs (old HA) and spirit spam like crazy, lapping up free fame while stocking up on 100k a pop sigils.

sigils used to be 100k bac at the begining?1 looking at th trader yesterday there at 10k. wow. They used to be really expensive, now they're really cheap. i think we'll see alot of n00b/ebay guilds popping p.

Anyway, i would like to go back, but with only the knowledge I had when I first played. Pre searing with old ischie over tehre was extremely fun. Then the wammos learnt how to dance......

hehe clever boy i forgot about the drops there alot of the newer ppl wouldnt know about this place

I would map as I went....******* cartographer title....99.6% and counting

I would transport post-searing items back to pre-searing.

Andthen own presearing and make millions.

That exploit was introduced when Observer Mode was introduced; i.e. long, long after release.

If only I were smart enough to take the advantage of buying up materials when they were cheap. =/ Actually early in the game I found out about many nice ways to make money. For example there were 4 chests outside Port Sledge that you could just open, since they weren't locked. I got a bunch of mods that were pricey at that time.

i would farm the griffons to death and uw

but i wich i could go back and forget all that i learnd and be happy even if i find a purple req7 10-14 wingblade with no mod <--my first purple.i was like wooooooot1!!. and then ill discover the drakes....anyways it was nice back then.
and there was more people that wanted to do missions/quests. /sigh

Get'em while they're hot! I got HoD Swords! I got 15% FFS! Only 400k each! Get'em while they're hot.....

But the best thing I'd do if I could go back, would be to raise a massssssive minion army...one...last...time. (sniff, I never got to say goodbye)

I don't know. I spent months figuring it out and get my first character through all the missions to the end. I must have spent an eternity in the desert, finished the game, and then was told you could get an extra 30 attribute points off of a couple of quests.

It was a pain, but it was very satisfying doing it all the way through legitimately. Now I know all the tricks and found myself running a new Wa/Mo through to get the survivor title in a few days.

farming chest at dreadnough driff until i have a collection of 100 gold crystalline sword

I would make all my characters and not delete them to reroll!!
Then i would not have bought a second account!! I swear, there should be a multiple account merge option!! It would be my loss, but so what. I just want all my primary characters on one account.
Maybe farm a few things....but thats not a priority.

I would farm all the fresh sup vigor and sup absorpt runes out of the krytan ettins and get millions.

The PvE game would be boring for me - I would set up bots, catching each tactic as it started. I would be one of the first people to get rank 9 (UAX of course), sell my account, then use that money to buy many more accounts which I would turn into a self-sustaining bot farm.
