Help out a noob...

I'm new to this game and was hoping you all could tell me the basics, and things I need to know, etc.

Thanks.

keep your money. Dont salvage, and dont spam towns asking for free stuff. Also buy new armour when the oppurtunity arises.

Yeah, about the armor. I can't buy any, because I need glittering dust or something?

How do I get this?

monsters drop it, you can buy it from the materials dude. But if you buy it from players you can get it aot cheaper. Also in game, if you dont know what something is/how to do something type '/wiki (whatever you dont know)' minus the quotes.

Although we are encouraged NOT to just direct members to the wiki, your post is just too vague.

Check out the beginner guide(s) at http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

For in-game help there is another wiki - F10 or Help on the Menu or type /wiki in the chat bar

Welcome to guru.

Hey Lashley,

I'll try and help you out if I can.

Pm me in-game at: Aria of Sakura.

I am online on weekday evenings and all day weekends.

yea, if you have any questions about anything at all (whether it be quests, missions, or where to find an item), just press f10 and type in the name exactly as it is in-game. ^^


"wiki is your friend!" <--be careful about these kinds of posts on guru >.<

Chush, I'll add ya

Thanks for the help everyone.

I couldn't find it on there, where do I get the materials needed to get new armor?

Just speak to a material trader in town
Hold down the .....alt key...scan all the npcs in town

But at an early stage ..learn the basics first..you cant really expect to have the same armour as another low level running around with max armour...

He /she has been playing for some time and has the money to buy it right away.....

this is why there is quests ect to let you learn as you go as well as getting armour materials when your leveling...

As the previous posters have said...New TO Game....take all the quests you see in town..they have a green ! above there head..and you will find it better that way

welcome to Guild Wars

Thankyar.

My name on GW is Darkness Epic, if anyone wants to add me, out of pity

Welcome to Guild Wars!

Depending on which armour you want to buy, the list of materials you need will vary - from bolts of cloth through glittering dust to iron ingots and/or tanned hide squares. The list also varies from campaign to campaign to reflect materials that are more idigenous.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Armorer will give you an idea of who the armorers are and where - as you click there names, it will show what they craft and the requirements for each piece. The materials can be bought from a material trader NPC or from other players - it can take a while to accumulate what you need though. It's also possible to salvage materials from the drops left by monsters - this is what the 'Salvage Kit' that the merchants sell are for.

Unless you can dedicate a straight day to kill/salvage I would suggest you buy a material storage upgrade from the Xunlai agent and as you accumulate stuff - put it there until you have enough.

Don't be in a rush to buy the best armour - the game is graded so that basic armour suits the area where you begin the game - and when you have your armour look very carefeully at the Wiki about Runes and Insignia, your armour is pretty much useless without.

If you need more help - then look for me in-game (but I'll only be around now on and off over the next couple of weeks - I have other commitments in RL).

If you have any questions you need answered while you're in game, feel free to message me if I'm ever on. Name is Forsira Hart.

private message me in game as well if you need any help. Vernon Nobody

Feel free to message me in game if you need help, too.

Which chapter of GW are you starting with? You might get a few handy tips for that area.
The starter areas are obviously full of new players - and plenty of "where is the merchant please" (be polite) type questions pop up in General Chat (check the chat tabs!!) so dont' be shy about asking.

You can add Arlan Tempus to friends (press N in game) and if i am on please Pm if you need help or advice.

welcome and good luck.

What Darcy said. Also, be sure to read the stickies at the top of this forum as they can answer some of your questions as well.
