Update 7/7/2005: I apologize about the lack of improvement, however life calls sometimes. Today with the help of Barraind I've added the Monk listings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 7/4/2005: Today I added the Ranger profession and the prices for Runes, Upgrades and Skills. Hopefully tommorow will ensue with the addition of the Monk profession, and maybe even Necromancer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 7/3/2005: Thanks to BlackDeath, Warrior profession and main topic added. I hope to add one profession a day, or more. You can also expect some guides and such.

UPDATE: I enhanced the listing by adding the Ranger profession, and at this rate I hope to have one profession complete per day. Help and feedback are most appreciated!

Excellent post, I wonder if there's any chance for a STICKY?!

...or perhaps moved to a forum where there are only 4 threads...

So does this mean that Elites are available from every location? Because I am interested in Healing Hands, but I don't see it listed.

Uhm, maybe the stuff in the other threads. This thread however is dealing with the Priests of Balthazar, you know the guys that let you spend faction to unlock things for PvP. They weren't even a twinkle in ANets eye when the guide was released.

This is a PvE skill that can used to obtain other skills. The skill quest to get this is at Lion's Arch. He's on top of a hill near the circular area in LA.

Well, seems that this thread became useless after the last update. All non-elite skills can be found from the skill trader in ember light camp.

Yemen, I don't think you understand that this thread is for skills locations and unlocking them via [Priest of Balthazar]. Before the recent patch, all the non-elites were scattered.

Although... Yemen wasn't too far off, you can now unlock all skills/runes/upgrades from a single [Priest of Balthazar] located in Tombs.

You aren't too far off either. Not only are there priests in Tombs, they are in every PvP arena.

Every Priest have every skill, rune, and upgrade to unlock. But you will not have access to the best right away. In order to do so, you need to unlock the lesser of the items (In your case, Minor and Major of that Rune type).

*All skills are available for unlocking, no restrictions.

*Minor unlocked yields Major. Major unlocked yields Superior.

*Upgrade items will first unlock the weakest form then give access to unlock max stat form (Vampiric 1:1 - > Vampiric 1:5 or Armor Penetration 1% - > Armor Penetration 10%)
