Running...

I'm toying with the idea of making a runner, so does anyone have a list of common runs (e.g. Where to start off from, how much to charge for it and where it ends?). I know the basic ones like Lornar's Pass, but I want to have a look at all of them.

P.S. Does anybody know how many characters including spaces you are allowed in a characters' name, because I'm too lazy to find out

www.guildwiki.org

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Run

is a great place to start looking

Some of the more common Runs in Tyria are to

Droks
TOA
Reverse from LA to Ascalon
Full Desert Tours
Sanctum Cay

As well as a run around the Southern Shiverpeaks

Oooh! Thank you!!!

For Europe and the Americas, name may contain no more than 19 characters.

Thank you.

P.S. Are there any good running builds that might be useful?

do a quick search on this site or on the wiki site for builds...or running builds and i am sure one will pop up

Okay! I'll see what I can find

The build I use
R/Mo

Expertise: 12+3+1
Healing Prayers: 12

This is a fairly old running build that you can find on wiki (it was updated when NF came out due to Mending Touch), but I probably use this running build 95% of the time when running. I do runs ALL the time from Ascalon to Sanctum Cay (and anywhere in between), desert runs, mission runs, etc. etc. etc. I will use it to run around if I am in Factions or Nightfall as well especially if I am mapping for cartographer title. I don't think once I have had any problems with the build. You have to have an idea on the area you are running though, because one of the cons is that enchantment removal hurts. Definitely not something you want to use with a mob of Mesmers. That is why I don't use this build for Droks and a few selected places in the Southern Shiverpeaks due to really heavy enchantment removal. There are other builds for that. For areas like that, I'll usually will run a Sin build with Shadow Form or something else. Just have to learn the spawns and movements. For other things like Spider Runs, that is a completely different story. It is definitely not the best build out there, but I think its pretty solid for typical running use.

Prices for runs aren't fixed and tend to fluctuate a lot depending onn availability and demand. For run pricing, i suggest you rely on an average of what people are advertising for.
