As a long time veteran of Guild Wars, and with Guild Wars 2 looming on the horizon, I've decided that it would be good to create a list of things that should be accomplished before the release of Guild wars 2. ArenaNet has already created titles and campaigns for the more common achievements that are similar in caliber to achievements presented in other games. I have decided to create my own list of much more eccentric acheievments to shine a light on those little victories that often go unnoticed or un-thought-about. The following is the "bucket list" of eccentricities that any half-sane person would have to think about trying before feeling accomplished in Guild Wars.


1) Headbut Rotscale. Solo.
2) Solo Riverside Province, mission and bonus in Normal mode.
3) Kill someone in the Hall of Heros
4) Win a random arena match while your character is drunk without disabling post processing effects (Never dip below lvl 3 drunk).
5) Use every skill in the game at least once.
6) Have a killer dance party with Abbadon.
7) Go streaking through fissure of woe. Make it to the Temple of War (aka the Forge) without any crafted armor in your party's inventory.
8) Interrupt a 1/4 cast time skill on an NPC with a non pasive interrupt (e.g. don't use shame, mistrust, clumsiness, etc).
9) Kill the entire invading char army in The Great Northern Wall mission solo.
10) Kill a searing flames boss with a buddy in Hard Mode using nothing short of 6 searing flames elementalist heros.
11) Longest. Run. Ever. Travel from Ruins of Surmia to Zinn's Secret Lair without hitting any towns or outposts.
12) Power Block a Power Attack or Power Shot.


I now invite the reader to conjure or comment on other oddities that need doing before this gaming experience can truly be considered complete.

Best Regards,

Kill someone in HoH lol, thats a pretty easy one.

Pretty sure ive come close to using every skill but probably not some of the crappy elites.

And i have killed the entire char invasion waaay back in 2005 with some friends, good stuff.

Get r8 Lightbringer, r10 Asuran / Delver / Ebon Vanguard / Norn / Sunspear, and r12 Kurzick / Luxon (yes, both) on 10 characters (1 for each profession... even on a Dervish). I'm about half-way there and I know some people who have already done this XD

/rank or /zrank every boss that you kill. Even if you only have rank 1 Zaishen XD This is probably more appropriate for characters that have to be in adjacent range of the respective boss.

Oh... that sounds so much like achievements...
They can be changed to sound more like achievements:
1) "Numbskull"
Headbutt Rotscale.

2) "Tactical Espionage Action".
Solo Riverside Province, mission and bonus in Normal mode.

3) "Honor and Fame"
Kill someone in the Hall of Heroes.

4) "Drunken Brawler"
Win a random arena match with a character that was drunk during the whole match without disabling post processing effects.

5) "Master of All Trades"
Use every skill in the game at least once with the same character.

6) "You got served!"
Have a killer dance party with Abbadon.

7) "Naked Woe"
Go streaking through fissure of woe. Make it to the Temple of War (aka the Forge) without any crafted armor in your party's inventory.

8) "Sheer Luck"
Interrupt a 1/4 cast time skill on an NPC with a non passive interrupt (e.g. don't use shame, mistrust, clumsiness, etc) on an enemy that has no effects that slow down activation time of skills.

9) "Foul the Horde!"
Kill the entire invading char army in The Great Northern Wall mission solo.

10) "Fight Fire with Fire".
Kill a boss equipped with Searing Flames in Hard Mode damaging it only with Searing Flames.

11) "Longest. Run. Ever."
Travel from Ruins of Surmia to Zinn's Secret Lair without hitting any towns or outposts.

12) You can't do this. Power Block affects only spells or chants... but...
"Overpower"
Power Block another skill with the word 'Power' on its name.
* Song of Power
* Blood is Power
* Power Drain
* Power Flux
* Power Leak
* Power Leech
* Power Lock
* Power Return
* And, of course, Power Block.


I would do the rest, but the post would get fat.

I'll add mine now:

* "You smell"

* "Almost like the real thing"
Finish The Underworld, the Fissure of Woe or win in the Hall of Heroes using the Long Sword from The Prize Moa Bird quest.

* "Too many sweets can kill you"

* "Interracial"

(Obviously, this can be done only with the core professions. There are 4 features you can change, but as long as 3 of them are from different campaigns, it's ok).

"Legendary Beastmaster"
In addition to having a full menagerie, also take each pet out and have it solo a lvl20+ enemy. You may only use the pet´s auto-attacks and pet skills, no weapons or spells etc.

"Legendary Shapeshifter"

Use various tonics to transform in to all possible forms available from tonics.
