1. Soloing 2 aatxe in UW with an air ele after the rest of my group gets wiped out. Spamming blinding flash and enervating charge for upwards of 5 minutes FTW. (That was before ether renewal nerf) I guess that was so memorable simply because I had more adrenaline in my blood than when fighting in HoH or tight GvG matches. And, of course the dead party members cheering me on the whole time :P

2. Similar experience with soloing part of Orozar's quest as MM - group gets wiped on the first wave, I use res sig on the monk, monk drops dead instantly. My minions did a good job fighting off rest of the mobs though, so when I killed the final attacking boss my res sig got recharged and I brought up the monk again.

3. Doing Escort of Souls, Wrathful Spirits and Unwanted guests in a 2-man UW farming team. We basically got stuck in UW when europe took favour at the end of a normal smite run and I said "Hey, lets try some quests". You might say that it's mostly the monk's skill that got us through that, but the kicker was that my monk had never done anything past Clear the Chamber and smite runs, so I had to guide her every step of the way. :P

4. Monking THK alone

5. Proving that earth eles are better farmers than 55 monk in pretty much everything except UW

Wow, you are all better than I am. Anyway, here is my shining moments:

Finishing all of the missions with my W/R.
Teaching myself the 55 HP invinci-monk build without the aid of friends, guides, and whatnot.
Helping a random player cap Shield of Judgement in Mineral Springs. When we finally capped it (monk spawned near the cave), the guy thanks me. I then realize I'm in a group with him and his guildies. They go on to thank me and compliment my leadership abilities. Made me feel pretty good about myself. I know have a whole guild full of new friends.

1. Getting FoW armor for my nec
2. Being able to solo the Storm Kin outside of seekers passage with both my necro and elementalist. (yes, it took a while, and no, the drops suck)

I would say that one of my greatest acheivements in Guild Wars is being able to solo the Droks run with my ranger. I think I was first able to do it in my fourth to fifth try too.

I consider myself to be "not very good at all" at this game, so my major achievement will be considered pretty lame to most of you.

...I am proud of the fact that I did Dragons Lair with only Henchies for company and with two Signets of Capture in my skillbar.

Spending three and a half hours, fifty four deaths and a few sodas with my Ranger?Elementalist and my boyfriends Elementalist/Mesmer to go behind the wall in Pre-Searing Ascalon and take out the Charr Bosses at level five, by the end of it we had a +8% bonus and had moved up to over halfway through level six. This has been done many times before I know, but to us this was a big achievement, this was when they said it couldn't be done anymore.

This has to be my greatest achievement, either that or running to get my armor infused in Mines of Malodune with Henchies only... then to be destroyed due to the henchies not being infused as well... -__-;

Edit: I love my ranger, or loved rather... it was the long range on the bow she had that made it possible to get the charr to move away from the rest and make it easier to attack them. She will rise again, someday.

Beat every mission with Henchmen. The hardest are the Desert missions, Ring of Fire, and Abaddon's Mouth.

1000+ hours, 1.4 mil xp, solo'd Perdition Rock with my Ranger, duo UW with my Ranger and an Elementalist.

Ascended my Ele at level 10, was fun walking around the Tomb at level 16. (Yes this makes sense, killed doppleganger at 10, got 50k xp, was level 16 after fight).

Why exactly are you proud of this? Maybe I'm just jealous :P

I'm nowhere near wealthy but I have earned what I do have with hard work. It shows with the 3.2mil xp on my monk and I don't even get to play that much (married with kids).

Saturday I got mine: Completed every mission and bonus - in order (well, had to come back for the Ice Caves bonus, needing infusion and all) with my Ranger. Including Abbaddon's mouth M & B with henchies!

Here's what I think are the hardest Bonuses: #1 Dunes of Dispair (time limit makes it tough) THK - Not the bonus itself, just finding a group that had the guts to do it & succeed! and Aurora Glade (because there's a thing called "teamwork" required, hard to find in a PUG)

NEXT UP: FoW armor for my Mesmer!

My biggest achievement happened a few months ago and then again today!

I made my first 1 million in cash plus materials through farming mostly with my
monk & warrior a few months ago and then succeeded in doing it once again
earlier today, accross two accounts thats a BIG achievement.

Next on the list is possibly some fissure armour for either my necro or my
ele, i havent decided yet, Or even both if i get around to it, they both look
ok to me so why not i suppose,.

I've cleared the game in full with at the very least 8 characters, all bonus's
i think i have now done all the quests, missions, everything i can think of...

Couple of screenshots attached to make ya drool, ...

completeing the 15 attribut points quest in the desert just with henchies on the first try. i was the last man satnding after the party got attacked by masses of hyrdas and then i for the frst time in the game rusht a mission or quest. my heart was pounding so hard before i finally found that first guy in the desert, escaping meteors and getting almos killed nearly a dozend times.

i reallize this migh be not so heroic an achievment, but it first showed me how the concept of rushing works.

and i felt pretty darn good with that 15 points more^^

Being part of a team that did a TWENTY WIN STREAK... in RANDOM ARENA

This was admittedly during the factions preview weekend, and I was a Ritualist, so once we went up against a team that had a clue and attacked the spirits we lost. Oh well.
